Simmone walks the teleporter, her shoes clicking on the solidity of the brick floor underfoot with the audible sound of heels *click, click, click* as on looking male PC's gawk and ogle her, she reaches the end of her cat walk, looks back and winks, before saying "Floor 1".

Simmone enters in a beam of light, and begins to stroll out into the floor like a cat on the prowl, her strut well pronounced and graceful. Carefully reading her HUD, she looks out to see her quest helper. <> pulls out the quest slip of paper, and reads it again, "Look for the man with brown hair and glasses on Floor 1, he will teach you about becoming a merchant." Quickly to not be made a fool of, she stashes the slip of paper and sits down on a nearby fountain. She looks around her surroundings carefully, to hide the fact she is looking. Spotting her target, Simmone gets up and walks slowly to the NPC, as though she knew where he was the whole time. Reaching him she says with a soft tone at it "Well then, hows about you show me where I need to go?" where the NPC robotically responds with "Greetings <>, you will need to go out and gain some col, as the most important aspect of being a merchant is in fact money". She tries to persuade it again, with a soft voice "How's about you just let me compete it here, you wouldn't want my feet to get hurt from all that walking would you?" she says bending down to readjust her heel strap for no reason. The NPC repeats its previous statement over, its A.I. not coded to respond to sex appeal. <> shrugs "well I guess you just dont understand anything, you buffoon." she says as she proceeds out to get some col the hard way. "I bet ill have to kill something to get some money out here, so i best get started huh." Proceeding to draw her rapier from its leather sheathe.

Pulling the weapon up, Lotus prepares to run the creature through. with her right arm raised, she jabs out at the animal as her weapon glows violet. The stab connects, running along the boars right side, leaving a bright red gash, without a moment inbetween the swine returns the favor, hoofing Lotus in the leg and showing her who shes messing with. "How dare you monster, keep your filthy pieces off me!" Lotus says in discontent.

Simmone draws her blade up again, switching to her true arm, putting the weapon in her left. Lifting the weapon up, she waits for the boar move in. The swine stomps again, preparing its charge like a wind up toy. Suddenly her attack becomes clear, her weapon glows purple as the creature begins its charge. Instead of moving on the animal, Simmone simply sticks the blade out of front of her, the pork being impaled on the skewer. With a burst of data the creature becomes one with nothing. Leaving a chest for Simmone to peer into, she pops it open to find a Boar Leather, which wasn't exactly what she was after, she laments out-loud in much vulgar terms.

Simmone is not about to give up, moving to the next closest boar in the sea of them out here in the field. with the weapon raised in a slash, it begins to glow Violet again, as Simmone shouts out «Tumult Spear» as her weapon glows.

With a shrug she shifts to the next closest boar, her new pray unaware that the cat was on the hunt. with a flick of her left wrist, and a raise of her left hand, the weapon glows with her next move.

Simmone is confused by the events that have transpired, putting her right finger to her chin. Thinking to herself, "how is it that its harder to get money then items" coming to the conclusion its just a string of good luck Simmone decides to continue on. Going for the next boar in the field, Simmone looks up on her HUD and notices her health bar has recovered. "Ah, I leveled thats why." she says as she stumbles upon the truth in her status screen, as she waves her hand down and goes through her expanded HUD. Moving quickly behind the next animal, She pulls her weapon back against her and moves in for another blow, getting ready to jab forward with her left arm, her estoc glows bright as she goes for the animal's life before its even aware.

Simmone: 7/7

Boar 4: 1/4

[Raidou 1]

Simmone draws the weapon up preparing another strike, it glows bright. Pulling the hilt up to her face, her fencing bleeding into the game, she cries out «Tumult Spear». The weapon makes contact with the swine twice, slicing the monster in two before it bursts into light. As if she was finally being blessed by the col god, a bag of coins drops from the data bursting. Leaning down, Simmone picks up the bag of coins proud of herself. Sheathing her weapon and struting back into the village containing her NPC, she asks "There you go, now is it over with?" The NPC responds "Im sorry <> but you will need to collect more col then <<20 col>> go obtain some more, be careful out there!" Frustrated Simmone begins to cuss like a sailor, and stomps herself back out of the village.

[Raidou 1]

Simmone has had it with this nonsense, she looks around the field. Spotting the biggest boar available she moves in for the kill. Drawing her weapon in haste, before the creature reacts she shouts out «Linear» as her weapon begins to glow.

Simmone: 7/7

Big Boar: 3/7

[Raidou 1]

The monster has a moment to strike, as Simmone's target assisted attack wont allow her to move just yet. The fat blob kicks up some dirt with each leg, seeming to test the ground underneath it. With a grunt and some air, the animal begins to charge at Simmone. Just barely shifting out of the way, Simmone rotates and the animal misses, as her weapon glows once more.

Simmone: 7/7

Large Boar: 3/7

[Raidou 1]

"My turn you big oaf!" Simmone says, as the monster is mid charge just barely missing her. Her weapon glows purple as she prepares an attack, with a key out «Tumult Spear» she swings at the animals right side as it charges by. Barely missing the creature with both blows, It reaches its destination and begins to turn. It kicks up a bit more dirt, preparing another charge with its large front tusks.

Simmone: 7/7

Large Boar: 3/7

[Raidou 1]

Now facing the fencer, The boar tests the ground for a moment with its hooves. Once the ground has been sufficiently hooved enough, the fat pig begins to charge again. Simmone tries to move out of the way like before, but is slammed in the arm as she rotates. Grabbing her left arm with her right, she yells "You filthy pig, how dare you touch me!". As soon as her sentence ends, her weapon glows moving to poke the animal in the rear end.

Simmone: 5/7

Large Boar: 3/7

[Raidou 1]

Without more then a second to think with the blow to her left arm, Simmone lifts that arm and tries to poke the fat beast in the behind. Simmon's weapon glows as she shouts at the creature, her displeasure becoming vocally expressed. Finishing her verbal abuse she attempts some physical with a shout of her upcoming skill, «Tumult Spear» stabbing the animal twice in rapid succession, reducing it to data. As the animal ceases to be, a bigger bag of coins fall out of the air, with a *clang*. Simmone leans down and picks it up, adding it to her inventory.

[Raidou 1]

Simmone notices again her health has recovered. Pulling out her bag of col, she sees the total: <<90 col>>. She begins to look around real fast, stashing her coin purse back into her clothes. She begins to strut back toward the village, happy as can be at this amount, as surely that its enough.

[Raidou 1]

For good measure, Simmone decides instead of walking all the way into to town without fighting, she would kill another boar along the way. She hopes that the final amount would be sufficient, as she draws her weapon again, as it begins to glow purple. Finding her prey sniffing a nearby dandelion, just about ready to consume it she lets loose a «Linear» to close the gap between them, being lead by her weapon in her left hand. Slamming into the creature, shattering it into blue shards, Simmone comes to a halt as the monster drops a garnet. A bit perplexed, she adds it to her bag, as she continues toward the village.
