Telrenya 0 Posted January 7 #1 Share Posted January 7 (edited) Floor 29. «Ilridge», the map read. Telrenya’s eyes ran over the scenery laid out before her with a clear sense of trepidation. She was at the level cap, she had fought floor bosses before, so surely she could handle a simple trip to check out the most recently-unlocked level of Aincrad on her own, right? Never before had exploring a floor’s safe zone proven any more unpleasant than how adverse the weather might be. That was the thing, though… Telrenya looked for an indicator that her HUD would normally have given her. She was searching for something that wasn’t there, her eyes flickering back and forth to every edge of her vision. She couldn’t find the «Safe Zone» indicator. ”Is that…right?” She whispered to herself. She didn’t want to believe that she had just warped into a brand-new, unexplored landscape where anything could pop out of the shadows and try to kill her at any moment. Yet the atmosphere that this ghost town gave off matched that feeling to a tee. A brisk wind swept through the area, carrying a brief, biting chill and dreadful howl as it swirled past abandoned buildings and rattled broken windowframes. She swallowed. Of course she’d thought about leaving, but then she’d just feel sorry for herself for chickening out. ’Come on, just a quick look around this place.’ She told herself. Maybe she’d find some other players scouting the area. That thought sure made her feel better. Telrenya took a few steps forward. ”Hello?” She cupped her hands around her mouth and called out. Surely she wasn’t the only one around so close to the Teleport Gate. But the silence that answered her caused a knot to form in her stomach. A big breath in, a steady breath out. Her hand wandered to the hilt of her rapier as she took another couple of steps forward. She almost settled on just gripping it loosely in its scabbard, but chose to draw the weapon and hold it at her side instead. This place clearly had her on edge.

Ryo 0 Posted January 8 #2 Share Posted January 8 Teleporting to the newest unlocked floor wasn't something that Ryo did often. But he wanted to see just where the frontliners had currently gotten them into. As the bright lights of the teleporting circle faded away Ryo was met with a burst of wind, and the taste of salt in the air. This was a coast town that was for sure, or it was at some point. The buildings all around looked long abandoned, the wood uncared for and covered in thick moss. Windows were either shattered, or had their shutters destroyed and hung haphazardly. This was a grave leap from Taft on floor 11. He was used to the bright clean colors, the sounds of people conversing, and the smells of the spices of the markets. But here it was nothing but still water, moldy wood, and salt. There was no other sound, despite him attempting to listen in further. Either there was nothing, or things were quieter than the storm that raged. "What the hell happened here?" He spoke to himself, just above a whisper. And to make things worse, this place wasn't a safe zone. Was that, right? Had this thing happened on a previous floor? What was the point of this floor other than to make people feel completely uneasy. He shook his head, and noticed it. The shape in front of him, silhouetted by a dim lamp light. In the current conditions Ryo couldn't make out the details. Maybe he was behind it? Maybe it was an NPC? Or maybe it was a monster? He swallowed once, and then began to step closer. The only other people that would reasonable be on this floor would be frontliners, and they wouldn't be hanging around the teleport gate. They'd be off in a labyrinth somewhere. Right? Ryo continued to walk closer to the shape, heel to toe subconsciously hiding the sound of his footsteps. As he got closer he recognized the silhouette as someone he knew. Telrenya, Jomei's fiance. Or is it wife? They were getting married, or had they yet? Regardless Ryo let out a small sight before blurting out loudly. "Oh thank goodness it's just you. Had me going for a minute." He said, unsure if would startle the woman.

Telrenya 0 Posted January 8 Author #3 Share Posted January 8 (edited) With her blade drawn at her side, the soft 'click' of Telrenya's heel echoed softly. She swallowed. There was no answer to her call, and no signs of life, friendly or otherwise. She inched forward, eyes running over the string of ramshackle buildings trying to decide which one looked the least likely to cave in on her should she venture inside. Then, suddenly, a voice came from behind her that sent a jolt of lightning up her spine. Telrenya let out a short scream and spun around, whipping her rapier forward with an outstretched arm at the mysterious presence...only to find Ryo standing at the other end. Her eyes were held wide with shock and her shoulders stood rigid, but as the realization gradually washed over her, Telrenya lowered her blade. "Oh... Oh! Oh my gosh, I'm sorry. Are you okay?" The spinning green cursor above his head quelled her immediate fears and the sheer humanity in his features had her heaving a sigh of relief. "Ohh, I thought you were a monster for a moment there." She quickly collected herself, then realized he was regarding her with some unknown familiarity. She paused, and her head tilted ever-so-slightly to one side. "I'm sorry, do I..." She thought some more before finishing her question. The man looked somewhat familiar... It was on the tip of her tongue... "Oh! Yes! Right, I do know you! I'm so sorry, um, you were in the guild before, right?" She was almost positive she was placing him correctly in her memory now, but a name still escaped her. A nervous chuckle bubbled up from her chest and her cheeks were stained a soft pink, bringing some color back into her otherwise paled complexion from minutes ago. "Um, nice to meet you again, I suppose." Her sword arm was long since resting at her side, and she brought her other hand up across her chest to offer him a small, almost knightly bow. In her formalities, her tone was riddled with embarrassment. Her hand pulled further up, a loose fist covering up a small cough, as if to help her carry on conversation. Her head turned and her gaze trailed out over their surroundings, and she weakly asked, "I...don't suppose you're familiar with this place, by any chance...?"

Ryo 0 Posted January 11 #4 Share Posted January 11 (edited) Perhaps, walking behind someone and then loudly proclaiming to them was the incorrect move. This was hinted by the sudden movement of Tel and the point of a blade being shoved into his face. Ryo leaned back just narrowly dodging the blade and quickly raised his hands. "Whoa whoa whoa whoa!" He said hurriedly in his sudden panic. "Tel Tel, it's me!" He said pointing to his face, showing that he was a real person and not some spirit or apparition. Despite the poor weather conditions, Ryo could see that Tel was struggling to place him but at least recognized him from the guild. "Yeah, from HDA. It's me. Ryo. I'm Teion's boyfriend." He said, attempting to introduce slash reintroduce himself. "Thanks for not stabbing me though." With his heart rate slowing back to normal, and the blade no longer in his face he looked around again to better answer her posed question. "No clue about this place. Honestly, this is my first go here. Heard you guys cleared twenty eight, figured I come here and see what the next one was." He said referring Tel as you guys. She was still a frontliner, right? A brisk wind carried through almost shoving Ryo. "Maybe we should find a place to hunker down for a bit, wait for this wind to calm down." He said, his hair threatening his vision more and more as it was violently whipped by the wind. Looking around he noticed a door close. Looking over he could see that it was meant to be a bar of some kind. "Over there's a bar we can hunker down into. We can get acquainted, and then figure out what to do from there as the wind dies down." He offered to the woman in front of him.

Telrenya 0 Posted January 18 Author #5 Share Posted January 18 Embarrassment coiled around her features for a short time while she remembered the small handful of times she’d encountered the purple-haired man before. Ryo was the one who always reminded her of a samurai. His traditional Japanese garb and use of the katana weapon type worked double duty to paint the picture, but she vaguely remembered visiting his home once, where everyone was dressed more casually. She couldn’t remember what the occasion was, exactly, but she remembered everyone gathering for warm drinks and good food. Those were fond memories. ”Right…! Sorry.” She let out a shaky, rattled sigh. ”This place doesn’t seem to have a safe zone in it, so…” She tried to rationalize her jumpiness with an excuse. Ah, but that felt a bit rude. Instead, she deflated a little, and kept quiet for a while. She felt the urge to correct him on her participation in clearing the last floor boss–any of the last handful of floor bosses, really–but she couldn’t find the courage. ”I guess, it’s the same for me.” She spoke back up as to her reason for being here in the first place: curiosity. She nodded, having to hold her own blonde locks against her neck so her hair wouldn’t whip up into her face as well. She spotted the bar Ryo was pointing out and, weapon still held down at her side, made a brisk pace towards the questionable establishment. The sound and feeling of sea-soaked winds howling at her ears was immediately cut after she stepped through the heavy, loosely-hinged wooden door. The closed space amplified its own quiet atmosphere, with only the heavy ’THUD’ of the door swinging shut behind them providing any noise at first. She naturally took to a little bit of not-so-covert exploring. ”Hello?” She called out in a volume that was just loud enough for how absolutely barren the place was. Of course, nothing answered her, and she frowned. Then she sighed. Finally deciding to sheathe her rapier, Telrenya walked up to the main bar and ran her fingertip along the wood grain. She grimaced at the layer of grime that stuck to her skin and quickly tried to rub at her hands as if to wipe the dirt off of herself. She then tried to take up Ryo’s offer of getting acquainted, whether he meant it literally or not. ”I have to admit it’s nice to run into someone from HDA again.” Her tone come out a bit more sheepish than she would have liked. ”It’s good to see you doing well, even though we didn’t get to know each other much before.” [quest info] Telrenya | HP: 700/700 | EN: 108/108 | DMG: 21 | MIT:20 | ACC:4 | EVA:4 | LD:1 NOTES Hide contents THREAD INFO Hide contents equipped »Celestial Dawn (+12 DMG) »Celestial Blessing (+2 EVA, +1 ACC) »Erin's Favor (+2 ACC, +1 EVA) battle-ready inventory »Finding Stone (+3 LD) »(4) Red Velvet Cake (+1 LD, +1 Prosperity) »(3) T1 Health Potion (+40 HP) »Bottled Banshee Scream (Stun all enemies for one turn) »Bandit's Guile (+1 EVA for 1 battle) »Cerberus Soul (+2 Burn DMG) »Snowfrost (1/2 Burn DMG for 1 battle) skills »Rapier R5 (+7 DMG) »Cloth Armor R5 (+20 MIT) »Extended Weight Limit (+2 BRI Slots) »Energist (+20EN) addons »[Rapier] Precision (+1 ACC) »[Rapier] Stamina (-2EN) »[First Aid] Hyperactive (+3EN for 3 turns on party member or self | Unique | 3 post CD | 5EN) »[First Aid] Field Medic (Heal self and all party members 25% max HP | 3 post CD | 15EN) »[Cloth Armor] Nimble (+1 EVA, +1 LD) mods »Athletics (+1 DMG) »Purify (Remove all status conditions on self or party member | 1 post CD | 3EN) »Energize (Restore 8EN to party member | 10EN) »Barrier (Reduce final dmg from all sources by 15% on all party members for one turn | 2 post CD | 15EN) buffs » Link to post Share on other sites
Ryo 0 Posted January 20 #6 Share Posted January 20 Ryo looked up and around, as if investigating the sky itself. Tel was right, no safe zone. A bit dangerous but this was a little past a quarter of the way. Made sense to throw in some challenge. His focus returned to finding shelter. The wind thrashed against Ryo, his loose clothes thrown about his body whipping around his contour. His hair despite being tied up was threatening to come undone. And if he valued his vision, he couldn't allow that to happen. Stepping inside the bar, it was very clear that things had taken a turn for the worse. What little light came in through the windows revealed the amount of dust trapped in the air. The floor creaked and moaned under his weight, the planks themselves old and dry rotted with age. What tables there were had given out to their own weight and lay broken next to stools and chairs. Padded benches were completely overtaken by dust, mold, and age. The smell was stagnant, like a basement with a leak somewhere. He ran a finger along the bar, leaving a clear marking in the thick grime, mimicking Tel. He wiped the grime from his hand and looked behind the bar itself. Nothing besides some broken crates, glass presumably from bottles and cups, and even more dust. He turned as Tel called out, seeing if anyone or anything was here. After a few moments of silence, Ryo shrugged. "I guess we're alone here." He said responding to the astounding silence. Ryo smiled. "Yeah it's nice to see a familiar face." He said, as he attempted to fix his hair. "Been meaning to ask, but what happened with the guild? I know Teion and I took our respective breaks but it was still surprising to it all disband one day." He said, genuinely curious about the situation. He pivoted the conversation quickly, probably best to not bring that up so quickly after just meeting her again. "How's Jomei?" He asked. "Teion and I are still doing good, albeit we're still a bit lazy. Recently ran into one of Tei's friends from High School" Ryo | HP: 625/625 | EN: 91/91 | DMG: 18 | MIT:91 | ACC:3 | BH:21 | REC: 3 | LD:2 [TIER LOCK] PARTY STATS Spoiler Ryo | HP: 625/625 | EN: 91/91 | DMG: 18 | MIT:91 | ACC:3 | BH:21 | REC: 3 | LD:2 THREAD INFO Spoiler equipped »Gin Kin (+9 DMG) »Fierce Deities Coat (+36 MIT, +3EN Recovery) »Accuracy Charm (+3 Accuracy) battle-ready inventory » » » » » skills »Katana R5 (+7 DMG) »Heavy Armor R5 (+40 MIT, -5 Stealth) »Battle Healing R3 (18 healing per turn) »Searching R2 (+2 LD, +2 Stealth Detection) » extra skills »Survival (Healing effects 10% more, immune to environmental effects) »Leadership R1 (Grants access to Leadership Arts, takes 2 Extra Slots) »Leadership R1 » » addons »[Katana] Focus (Minor Crit on BD 8, reduce DoT threshold by 1) »[Katana] Stamina (-2 EN) »[Heavy Armor] Iron Skin (+15 MIT, +45 HP) mods »Impetus (+1 DMG) »Emergency Recovery (Heal 62 when brought below 156 | Once per thread | 10EN) »Night Vision (No penalties from low light/darkness) buffs » Yui's Grace Used (+ 600% EXP for this thread) » Dining Room: "Tasty" - Turn 2 identical food items (same quality, tier, & enhancements) into a Lesser Feast.

Telrenya 0 Posted January 20 Author #7 Share Posted January 20 (edited) Telrenya's chest felt heavy. She wasn't sure she had a satisfying answer as to what caused the Holy Dragon Alliance's disbandment. She could certainly reason as to why things fell apart, and go on about her own feelings. After Ruby's death, things never quite felt the same. For her, the HDA teetered on the edge of uncertainty with a lack of purpose. Did they just exist as a guild to solidify their friendships? Would they ever look at recruiting new members? Jomei and Ruby had doubled down on contributing to the frontlines at one point, and she had even tried to thrown her own hat into the ring to join them, but eventually that burden fell squarely and heavily on Jomei. She knew how uncertain he was about leading the guild, and all of their members seemed content to just keep their heads down. Disbanding must have been a hard decision. She must have been lost in thought, because before she could pull together an answer that she was ready to speak out loud, Ryo asked something else. She looked over towards him, briefly stunned by Ryo's nonchalance, but it was his attitude that allowed everything to fall into place. Of course, if he hadn't spoken to Jomei anytime recently, he would have no idea. "Oh, um..." Telrenya mumbled if only to keep the silence from defeaning them both. She looked back towards the bar, the overturned stools, the dusty glassware piled messily on the back shelves. Anywhere that wasn't looking at Ryo anymore. Her hands fidgeted idly in front of her, rubbing softly at what was missing from her left ring finger. She sucked in a short breath. "We're split up." She tried so hard to say the words normally. And then the weight of how awkward that must make things nestled itself deeply onto her shoulders. "S-sorry! I know you're just trying to be friendly and catch up and everything. That's not exactly a great update to lead with, eheh..." While she hadn't blatantly turned away from him, Telrenya surely still wasn't looking Ryo in the eye as she weakly chuckled over her own nerves. "It's, uhm, it's been a little bit since we last spoke, so I hope he's doing alright. We've just kind of, taken some space, I suppose." Every thought she managed to eke out had the confidence crumbling right out from under it, and she compensated with a bittersweet smile plastered over her face. She refused to let a single thought rest with her for more than a moment. "It's good to hear that you two are well! It seems like everyone's been so wrapped up doing their own things, I'm glad you're finding ways to stay busy." That last sentence sat in her mouth like the leather of her own boot. Her eyes tried to find something else to settle on until they were drawn towards a flicker of a small lantern on the other end of the bar from where she stood. "Oh, err, I wonder what that is?" Her weak voice was half built on desperation and half genuine curiosity as she spied the thick paper note sitting under the lantern. Her eyes were locked onto it, hoping that Ryo would simply take notice and investigate.

Ryo 0 Posted January 21 #8 Share Posted January 21 He locked eyes with the woman, and could instantly see that he instantly messed up. "Oh, I uh-" He stammered. "Shit." He said, rubbing the back of his neck. "Sorry." He said quietly, knowing that he had messed up. Way to go idiot, brag about your healthy and stable relationship to a woman who is struggling with her own. What was he supposed to say next? How does he follow up the nuclear bomb of a conversation starter? He sighed as he struggled to find another conversation. He finally managed to muster a sentence out. "Man, can't believe I was able to shove my foot into my mouth this fast. Usually takes me a bit longer, this is a personal best." He said, trying to lighten the mood. His attention changed as Tel showed something off to him. "Hm? What's that?" He asked, stepping closer to take a peek. A thick piece of paper stuck underneath a lantern. Picking it up opened a menu with a loud static sound, causing him to jump a few inches into the air. "It's, just a quest." Ryo said, looking at the menu. "Looks like a delivery receipt. I get these sometimes when I order wine for cooking." He said, holding the paper. "But it's hard to make out what is needed, or rather what was ordered. Just that it's still in transit." He said, placing the paper onto the table. Ryo tilted his head in thought. "That would explain the empty wagon outside, perhaps it was meant to pick up the order?" He theorized.

Telrenya 0 Posted January 21 Author #9 Share Posted January 21 (edited) The two of them socially squirmed for a while, unsure of how to continue. Telrenya didn't know whether or not she wanted to crawl underneath the barstools and hide or keep talking and let the worms start wriggling out of their can. She didn't know Ryo very well at all, but it felt unsatisfying to simply call him an acquaintance, even if that was the objectively correct definition of their relationship. The man was friendly...but it was hard to justify opening up to someone when you feel like you barely know them. Regardless, this decrepit old tavern felt like neither the time nor the place for such a bonding topic. "O-oh, a quest?" Maybe later, or maybe just another time. This was the first time she'd spoken to anyone from HDA since its disbandment, and the weight of fallout after fallout was undeniably heavy on her shoulders. She hated the thought of burdening anyone with such intimate troubles, especially since the friends she would imagine going to would only have a degree or two of separation away from the problems themselves. She imagined Spencer or Hestia might have been the shoulders she'd end up crying on, and it felt...impolite? Inappropriate? It felt wrong to bring those feelings to anyone less than deeply involved in her life. For now, she would latch on to the distraction of whatever that sheet of paper was. "At least there's something to do, then. That sounds pretty normal." She affirmed weakly, inching closer to where Ryo had placed the shipping manifest down on the counter. She leaned over to try and inspect it herself a bit, as if she had any better of an idea. When she got close, though, the same light blue pop-up window appeared to hover over the paper. «À̵̱̫̌ccep̴t̸?̴» The familiar duo of the little blue circle and red x appeared underneath it: just like Ryo said, a quest prompt. She glanced his way for just a moment. They both didn't seem to have much of a concrete goal in being here, and this sounded innocuous enough. "Just a delivery sort of thing, then? That doesn't sound so bad..." She went ahead and reached over to tap on the circle of confirmation. A seasoned gamer Telrenya was not, but after all this time she was no stranger to these "fetch" quests. Get a thing, bring it to somewhere or someone, maybe return to where you started, and you're all done! Easy! Truthfully, there was nothing difficult about the two of them lugging the rickety, empty wagon through the long stretches of rough, uneven cobblestone streets. The wind had hardly died down during their time in the tavern, so while the players were stuck battling their flowing hair and garments from whipping them in the face and getting caught on bits of rotting and unkempt framework, they were not actually accosted by any other living creatures. More than once they had to stop completely in order to move some hazard or roadblock out of the way and give the wagon enough room to make it through. The trip wasn't hard, but it also wasn't quick. The more time that passed without threat of some monster attack, though, Telrenya felt just a little bit more at ease. It had probably taken a good thirty minutes for the duo to traverse the sprawling, abandoned shantytown and make it to the right end of the docks with the empty wagon in tow. "Okay! Halfway there, then!" Telrenya was just glad for a short break, and hoping that they'd paved a clear enough way back that the return trip wouldn't be nearly as tedious. But...now what? This was where they were supposed to be, right? She looked around for any markers, symbols, NPCs, or even just a batch of unattended cargo left out for them to pick up off the side of the road. Nothing stuck out. She ended up wandering over to the dock itself, the wood groaning under the weight of her now muddy shoes. She took slow steps down the length of the dock until she eventually reached the end. The smell of salt on the air was absolutely overpowering as the dark, churning waters rumbled so closely in her ears. She looked out over the sea. Endless and hungry. The skin on her arms prickled and she couldn't tell if the chill that ran down her was caused by the frigid mist in the air or purely from the sense of dread that crept into the back of her skull. She stared out, looking for anything. A boat, maybe a light. The waves sure were tall that far out--like huge, rolling hills that crashed into each other. It made her wonder how any ship could manage to sail out there. She looked down, over the edge. Inky darkness stared back up at her. Along with something else. Telrenya froze, transfixed on the glow of two unmoving orange orbs deep below the water's surface. Unsure of what she might be looking at, but still petrified by it, she refused to blink or move or breathe. She held herself there until her chest felt tight and then slowly, carefully, she slid her foot backwards. She shifted her weight. Begrudgingly, she stole a glance to one side to ensure she wasn't too close to the dock's edge, but when her eyes darted right back to them...there was nothing. She almost wanted to run up to the edge and search for them again, but her survival instincts screamed at her to just stay away from the water. She suddenly, deeply regretted walking so far out on the dock by herself. Waiting at the Docks...

Ryo 0 Posted January 23 #10 Share Posted January 23 The air between the two was heavy, and not just from the area. It was never easy to talk to someone new, let alone talk to them about relationship issues. Doubly so when your own was going well, and that you had brought that up. "Yeah, something to do besides breathing dust and feel like something's watching me." He said, taking another glance around the area. Seeing nothing, he accepted the quest himself and followed Tel outside. The wind had died down a small bit thankfully, no longer threatening to throw Ryo aside or unmake his hair. Small blessings on this floor it would seem as pulling the wagon was more of an annoyance than a challenged. Uneven roads, upturned cobblestones, and general maintenance of both the road and the wagon is what made moving the thing difficult. Thirty minutes later, the pair had made it to the dock. Ryo looked out into the spiraling ocean before them. It wasn't unlike the ocean at home, save how inky black it was. The ocean crashed hard against the shore spraying the area. He could only see so far out into the darkness, even with his night vision. With that he could at least make out some flotsam bobbing in the waves before them. He wasn't normally afraid of the ocean or its inhabitants, but for once he felt uneasy. Staring into the black sea he felt himself lose his balance, start spinning. He reached up and rubbed his eyes trying to collect himself. Looking over at Tel, he could see her under the same sort of effect. Watching her stare into the black, Ryo followed her gaze only to see nothing. Back to her, she slid a foot back. Ryo spun around and gripped his katana ready for whatever might be spooking her. But nothing came. "Tel?" Ryo said, attempting to get her attention. "Tel! Are you alright?" He shouted the second time to overcome the wind, and to break whatever trance she was in. "Did you see something?" He asked, wanting to know. Or maybe, he didn't want to know. All that he did know was that this place played with your mind, and he would need to be center himself if he were to attempt to be here longer. Looking around, he didn't notice the ship. "Wasn't there supposed to be a shipment here? Where's the damn boat?" He asked aloud.

Telrenya 0 Posted January 30 Author #11 Share Posted January 30 (edited) She tore herself away from the trance the abyss had lured her into. With unsure footing, Telrenya turned and hurried back down the length of the dock, meeting Ryo partway. "Yes, I'm fine!" She called back. All things considered, her wavering voice wasn't much worse than it had been since they'd first met up. "I'm not sure..." No, she knew she saw something. But she couldn't prove it, and she didn't want to raise the tension any higher. She could already feel herself clenching her jaw. Her shoulders felt stiff. Telrenya tried to relax herself a bit now that she had some distance between her and the deep water along with another person close by. "This place just gives me the creeps," She let out a breathy chuckle to try to take some of the edge off. "Even more than the rest of the town. I kind of wish if there was any monsters around this area that they would just...be here, or stomp around the place, or something." She admitted her frustration. It felt like they were in a horror movie, just waiting and waiting and waiting for a bad guy to spring out from behind a corner. It was getting exhausting. She sighed, again trying to flush the nerves from her system and let out some of the tension she held in her muscles, then turned back out towards the water. "Huh?" She paused, blinked, and squinted a little bit as if she wasn't sure whether or not to believe her eyes. "Do you see that?" She had just been looking out into the sea a few moments ago, but when she turned back around now she clearly saw a ship approaching the docks. The fog wasn't nearly thick enough to have obscured it all the way until now, so how did it manage to appear that quickly? She stood dumbfounded for a moment. "I... Maybe that's it?" She grew cautious again. She couldn't see figures standing on the boat, so was it safe to just hop on once it docked? She hated that idea.

Ryo 0 Posted January 31 #12 Share Posted January 31 It was clear that someone had spooked her. And it was probably something they didn't want to get involved with. Ryo nodded when she mentioned the place gave her the creeps. "Yeah, the creeps isn't exactly how I would describe it." Ryo thought for a moment thinking of the words. "More like this place makes me feel like a panic attack is coming at any moment, but never does." He said, satisfied with his description. "Knowing the barest minimum of Lovecraftian horror, probably for the best that we're alone for now." He said, not wanting to think of the unthinkable creatures that could assail them at any moment. Ryo snapped to attention and looked ahead into the distance. "Yeah, I see that." He said, activating his night vision hoping that it would give him a better view. It highlighted a few details, namely the pale worn and tattered sails. "Yeah. It's a ship alright." Ryo said, deactivating his night vision. "Looks like it's getting closer." He said, taking a few steps back away from the dock. He readied himself for whatever might be on the ship awaiting them. The ship inches closer and closer still looking like it would threaten to run ashore. But sure enough, the ship slowed to a stop next to the dock. But something was off, it was quiet. There was no ringing of bells, or shouting of crew members, or any noise of that matter. The silence was then broken suddenly by the loud noise of wood on wood as a gangplank dropped from the ship onto the dock. Ryo took a few tentative step closer to the gangplank before testing it with his weight before fully stepping on it. "I've got a bad feeling about this." He said to himself, before climbing aboard. "Hey Tel, you gotta see this." He called out to her, beckoning her to come aboard as well.

Telrenya 0 Posted January 31 Author #13 Share Posted January 31 (edited) The dull crack of wood slapping against wood as the gangplank fell onto the dock caused Telrenya to jump. Ryo took the lead now, treading cautiously to board the ship and encouraging her to follow suit. She swallowed. "What is it...?" She asked cautiously, approaching the small bridge. She had to hold her breath while crossing, as if it would crumble away or suddenly be yanked out from under her. Her feet found more sturdy, albeit softly lurching, ground when they dropped onto the thick wooden boards of the ship's main deck. For once, nothing creaked, groaned, or sagged under her weight, and despite the general disrepair she could make out across the top of the ship, it seemed decently sea-worthy. At least as far as her untrained eyes would guess. As she looked around, a frown was fixed upon her lips at how abandoned things remained. A ship wouldn't really just show up like this without a single person to sail it...right? The upper deck looked mostly empty, but she quickly spotted a set of stairs that led down below. It seemed like they were doomed to do a bit of exploring. "I'll check down here." She nodded toward the stairs. On her way, she went through a mental checklist to try and remind herself of all of the tools she had at her disposal. Her rapier. She didn't do quite as much damage as she used to since changing her build around, but her weapon skill was still maxed out. Her armor didn't provide very much mitigation, but it did allow her to max out her evasion, so she had a good chance of dodging hits. And then there was all the First Aid abilities she had invested in. She looked at her own palm held open in front of her as she took careful steps down. She hadn't really gotten much practice using all of those different skills, but surely they would help if any trouble showed up. 'And then of course I still have--' As if on cue, a little ball of gentle blue light popped out from the center of Telrenya's chest. Willow appeared, facing her with a blank expression as only two white ovals stood out against its wispy, flame-like body. It swayed back and forth playfully and Telreyna smiled warmly for the first time since she'd stepped foot outside of the teleport gate. She paused and cupped her hands around her familiar, urging him to keep close to her chest. "I think it's a good idea if you stay hidden for now." She whispered. Willow simply wriggled in place, his form distorting slightly, and then vanished against Telrenya's body with a soft blue glow that quickly faded away. She was pretty sure Ryo hadn't met Willow before, and as much as she would genuinely love to introduce them, now was neither the time nor place to let her ghostly companion run wild. She let out a short breath, feeling a little better about things for now, and went ahead and took another step to reach the bottom of the stairs. Splish. "Huh?" Her confusion was made audible and she looked down to realize that her boot was surrounded by a solid inch of dark liquid. She immediately tensed back up. Was the ship sinking? She looked around, her eyes straining against the darkness. She spotted a pile of crates and boxes and plucked up her courage to tread through the standing water to check them out. She had to run her hands along the sides of the wood and search around a bit before she found any kind of mark or writing. "H.P.'s Tavern" was stamped on the far side of one of the largest crates. Was that the name of the bar they'd come from? "Ryo! I think I found it down here--the shipment!" She called to the upper deck. Still, she wasn't sure what to do about the liquid on the ground. She hadn't figured out where it was coming from, or whether or not it posed a threat. "Um! Be careful coming down here, though!" She tried to warn him. "It's kind of...wet!" Unloading the Cargo...

Ryo 0 Posted February 6 #14 Share Posted February 6 (edited) Not a damn person on board. How's that for things. Ryo nodded as Tel said she'd check below deck. "Good call. I'll check up here and see if I can see anything." He said making his way further onto the deck. Opening a cabin door and stepping inside he could make out details from the dimly lit lantern. It swung slightly, partly from the waves crashing into the ship and from the harsh winds breaking through what holes there were in the walls around him. Regardless he was thankful to be free of the wind for the most part. However he wasn't thankful was the smell. It smelled, old and wet and alive at the same time. Looking underneath the lantern he could see a singular table, decorated with molded cheese and bread. Spilled tankards were empty, their content long since dried and absorbed by the wood staining it an eerie red. Ryo shot to attention as he heard something. Following the noise he exited the room and could hear Tel calling out. He had only made out the words 'the shipment' but he was sure that she had found what it was they were looking for. Taking three steps down the stairs Ryo couldn't see far enough in the darkness, and so he activated his Night Vision. Though he had wished he hadn't. He saw something at the bottom of the stairs. What was it? It looked, tendril but with arms and legs. Was that a mouth, or was it eyes? It was, ever changing in his mind growing worse and worse with each different iteration. He took a tense breath, still staring at where he saw the thing disappear from. The water rippled from where it had entered, but he couldn't see a trail of where it could've moved. Was it still there, or was it small enough that it didn't leave a wake? Swallowing his fear he stepped forward and stepped into the liquid. His boots splashed as he moved through the dark liquid. With his Night Vision it was easy to see where he was heading, and where Tel was standing. Ryo looked over the crates, noticing the shipping labels and the mark. "Yep, this is it. Let's get this topside and onto that wagon. This place is giving me the creeps." Another dark thought had crossed Ryo's mind of how long did this ship plan on staying docked? Would it leave with them? And if it did, would they suffer the same fate as the crew? Unloading the Cargo...

Telrenya 0 Posted February 6 Author #15 Share Posted February 6 (edited) "Right." Telrenya nodded. While she had hoped this quest would give them some insight on the floor, or maybe allow them to run into some other players or an NPC or two, it seemed they would have no such luck. She couldn't help but start planning for a speedy exit through the teleport gate once they'd delivered the goods and retrieved the reward. Together, the two sloshed and splashed through the tepid wine while they hefted box after crate up and down the stairs. Each trip was a little bit precarious, especially when they had to lift the most unwieldy crates from either side and shuffle in tandem across the gangplank. It took a short while, but eventually Telrenya heaved out a sigh of relief when the last crate had been settled onto the wagon. "Okay. Halfway done, then..." She reassured herself out loud. She turned, about to circle back towards the front of the wagon so that she could lift up one side of the handles to start pulling the cart back, but she froze when she realized the sudden absence of the ship at the side of the dock. She blinked, then looked back over to make sure Ryo was, in fact, standing nearby. "It's...gone." She remarked in disbelief. Her head turned from side to side, wondering if it had just cast off really quickly and she'd simply missed it, but all she could see were the fog clouds rolling across the water's surface. It really had just disappeared. "Let's, let's just go." As unsettling as each new development came to be, the only thing they could do was press on. With tense shoulders, Telrenya hurried to the front of the wagon and waited for Ryo before she lifted up her side and dug her heels into the muddy cobblestones to get the traction they needed to begin lurching forward with the new weight of the cargo. Just a bit longer and they could get out of this nightmare town, she told herself. She kept her eyes on the road in front of her and quieted down for the trip back to the bar. This was awkward. Why couldn't there have just been a normal quest for them to do? Even slaying monsters would have been less stressful. Going round and round in her thoughts, something caught her eye. A flash of white. Another pair of footsteps trailing ahead of her. She squinted and she pace slowed to a crawl before she stopped walking altogether. "Wait. Do you see..." Her voice died out before she finished the question. The figure in front of her, which had been walking along, had stopped as well. Who...was that? Her head tilted just a bit off to one side. So did hers. 'This has to be some kind of trick.' She thought. A doppelganger? A trickster in disguise? She brought up a hand to cup around the side of her mouth and she leaned forward a little to call out, "Hello?!" She watched them move the same way she did, but couldn't hear anything. She frowned. She stuck her arm out to the side. Waved it above her head. Took a step forward. It mimicked her every move. "What is that?" No sooner had the words left her mouth than she watched her own neck twist violently past the point it should. Blonde hair whipped around and suddenly the copy of her stood with its head on backwards. Telrenya let out a gasp of shock and staggered backwards, bumping into the cart and falling on her butt with a soft 'splash' of wet mud and stone. She met her own eyes with horror, but the moment she did so the figure vanished before her eyes. She blinked. "Where...?" Her eyes darted around, looking for her demonic other self as if it might pop up anywhere else, but it was nowhere to be found. Travelling Back...

Ryo 0 Posted February 6 #16 Share Posted February 6 (edited) This floor sucked. First the entire wave of people get trapped on it and jumped, and now this quest happened. Did the developers just, quit? Did they opt to make this quest as not interactive as possible? He groaned as he lifted a heavy crate. "Right, I got this one. You get that one." He said, juggling the crate to get a better grip on it. The heavier, larger crates did require the both of them to move them, but after they moved that one and turned to get the last of it. The ship was gone. Ryo stared at the open sea where it once was. Tel said everything that he was thinking. This development was less creepy, and more annoying as the quest went on. "Yes. Lets." He said, agreeing with wanting to just get out of here. Dragging the cart back was heavier, but wasn't terrible. Off in the distance Ryo locked his eyes onto a scarecrow. How silly. A town without people, and the bundle of straw was the most human thing in it. He chuckled as he continued to move the cart. Ryo hard stopped in his place as Tel suddenly stopped. "Tel, what's going-" Ryo stopped his sentence as he heard something moving. He dashed his eyes back to the scarecrow. It was still staring at him. But, it was staring at him earlier. Did it move? He blinked. It had moved closer. Ryo gritted his teeth and his eyes opened wide. "Tel, we've got something moving." He said, not taking his eyes off of the scarecrow. But his voice was suddenly quiet, drowned out by the sudden rush of wind. He could hear Tel underneath the wind, but couldn't make out what she was saying. He was forced to blink again, and the scarecrow grew closer still. Tel fell backward and bumped into the cart, throwing Ryo off his cadence. He broke eyesight with the scarecrow and in a panic he grabbed his katana blade. Why would they be attacked now? And looking back up, the scarecrow was gone. He looked around, and managed to see it again, propped behind a door having it's face barely peeking around it. "Tel. Grab the cart, and lets run back to the bar." He said, still locking eyes with the scarecrow. He didn't know what it was that accosted Tel, but if it was anything like they had been dealing with it wasn't pretty. Travelling Back...

Telrenya 0 Posted February 6 Author #17 Share Posted February 6 (edited) She spent a few more precious moments searching, not yet daring to turn her full attention to Ryo until she was sure that other her wouldn't pop up out of nowhere and strangle her. Still, there was an urgency in his voice. She had no time to sit around. "Y-yeah. Yes, let's hurry." She agreed, pulling herself back up with the assistance of the wagon. "Alright, and...!" She gave a short warning before she heaved her weight against the wooden bar to get the thing moving again. Against all odds, the two made it back to the tavern in one piece. It took some time for them both to fumble around wondering where exactly they were meant to deliver the supplies before they found the cellar door, then a little bit longer to move all the crates down the dimly-lit stairs. Telrenya felt an aura of uncertainty the whole time, but the small chime of a notification confirmed that they'd guessed correctly. "Return to the bar for your reward." She read aloud. "Well, glad that that's finally over." She sighed with relief. "Not that I wasn't interested in doing a quest with you!" She hurriedly added as they climbed back up the stairs. "Just, maybe not this quest." She was sure Ryo understood. They went back into the bar and Telrenya felt the tiniest hope that some old grizzled bartender would be there to welcome them. Those hopes were quickly dashed when it was only the same pile of dust and broken furniture. There was one difference that caught her eye, though: two cups placed on the bar. She walked up to the counter and the notification popped up in front of her. « Have a drink, it's on the house » She eyed the tall flute glass in front of her skeptically. The pale liquid inside bubbled recognizably. "Is this...champagne?" She reached out and pinched the stem of the glass between her fingers. She brought it up to her nose and felt the scent of bright citrus and flowers. It was surprisingly pleasant. Telrenya glanced over to Ryo as the tension of their afternoon escapades slowly began to drain from her shoulders. The bar may have been dark and dingy, but it was a quiet shelter after all they'd dealt with. "What do you have?" She craned her neck, curious to know what Ryo had been served. She'd only had champagne once before, at a wedding she'd attended shortly after high school. She didn't remember disliking the taste, and the completion of the quest sure felt like cause to celebrate. "Well... To a job well done, then!" She raised her glass briefly before bringing the edge to her lips. Wholly unfamiliar with the proper etiquette for enjoying wine or wine-like beverages, Telrenya drained the glass with few hearty gulps. She held onto the empty glass, letting out a short breath as the sweet, bubbly flavor washed over her all too quickly. She hadn't yet noticed the new status effect under her health bar, instead distracted by her drink and company. "Oh, that's actually really good! I wasn't sure if it would be kind of bitter, but it's not really." She commented. Have a Drink...

Ryo 0 Posted February 7 #18 Share Posted February 7 (edited) Slightly out of breath Ryo chuckled. "No no, I get it. I'm glad it's over. Hopefully the reward is worth all of-" He motioned to the dark greens and clouded everything. "Whatever that was." He said, not wanting to return to this floor anytime soon. At least returning to the bar was going to be easy enough. But stepping inside the bar again didn't reveal anything new. Still broken tables, rotten booths, and dust heavy in the air. "Well, place is still abandoned. Wonder what the reward is." He thought aloud. However, two glasses sat on the bar. Those were new. "Well, well. What do we have here?" Ryo said inching towards the bar. « Have a drink, it's on the house » Ryo eyed the message with scrutiny and shrugged his shoulders. Memories of drinking random potions flooded his memory and he hesitated to reach for the drink. Instead he sat on a stool and lean against the bar. It dawned on him that he had never visited a bar before. He had ordered drinks before as a restaurant, but never had he gone to a bar. Were they like this place? Spaces for seating and food, and small? Or where they different? What kind of food would they serve if any at all. Telrenya claimed to have received champagne, which caused him to exhale loudly once as a laugh. "Isn't that the fancy wedding drink?" Ryo asked. He watched her drink it, and caught himself staring before looking back at his own drink. There didn't seem to be any immediate adverse side effects from the drink that Tel had. Ryo took his cup and lifted it to his lips. The scent was, earthy and sweat like a meadow of wildflowers. The drink was stout, but was also very sweet and herbal. Ryo smacked his lips, confused about how to feel about his drink. He was more used to citrusy drinks, but this was nice. "Yeah, it's not bad. I think mine's some kind of mead." He said before chuckling. "Too bad we can't get drunk in this game." He said, not noticing the debuff himself. Have a Drink...

Telrenya 0 Posted February 10 Author #19 Share Posted February 10 "It is!" Telrenya was a little proud to recognize what the drink was. She didn't have much exposure to alcohol--just a cocktail once or twice back in the real world. She could hardly remember what those tasted like, nor that champagne she'd had at her friend's wedding. She set the emptied glass back on the counter and let her hand fall to linger resting against the flared base. "Mead?" That confidence drained from her just as quickly as she struggled to think about what kind of drink that was. What was it made out of, what did it taste like? She thought she'd heard of the name before. Maybe. "You're a cook, right?" There was some hesitance to her words, genuinely uncertain if she was remembering right. She thought he'd said something about providing the food himself during that big get-together he'd hosted some time ago, one of the few times they'd met before. She remembered really liking the fruit tarts. "Have you ever made drinks before?" Truly, she wasn't familiar with any of the professions outside of her own. She wondered what kind of scope 'Cooking' allowed for, exactly. Whether players could come up with their own dishes, or they had to follow recipes. She glanced back towards the bar, her thoughts shifting back to wondering what their reward was meant to be, when the movement of bubbles inside of her glass caught her attention. "Huh?" She lifted it back up. [̸̧̡͎̗̦̺̲̦̼̯͇̪̣̗̋̔͋̓̍̂͛̃͘̕Ĥ̵̛̳͍̣͍́̇͂͗͛̐͛̏̆͋͝ave a drink, it's on the house] When did it fill back up? It had been empty, right? She hadn't just imagined the past few minutes, right? She looked back to Ryo enjoying his own drink. Did he catch that? She brought the glass up to her lips with a hint of suspicion, taking just a sip this time. It was the same: the taste of citrus and flowers, a little tart, but the little bubbles that popped on her tongue made it almost refreshing. "You... You don't think this is the reward, do you?" She posed the thought with a slight grimace. It tasted nice, but all that for a drink? Or two, or however many the game would offer her. She hoped for an item. At least some experience and col! She wasn't sure what she wanted, besides to feel satisfied that their suffering for the past couple of hours was fairly compensated. A silence rolled over the room. A lull in conversation. The only thing occupying her hands, she took another sip of her drink, then looked around for the cleanest unbroken stool she could find to pull up a seat. The bar was quiet and dry and the drinks tasted good, so she was no longer trying to book it to the teleport gate. She set her half-finished glass back down on the bar and scavenged for a suitable piece of furniture. She picked one up, dusted it off with her hand the best she could, and brought it back over. She'd offer it to Ryo first, then repeat the process for herself if he'd take it. While they got a little more comfortable to finish their free drinks, she tried to strike up some meaningful conversation. "Well, it's good to see that someone from HDA is doing well after things fell apart." Even though her tone lacked any bitterness, those words were still a little harsher than she intended, and she gave a small chuckle to compensate. She sat down and reached for the flute glass, which was, again, mysteriously full. She tried not to think about it too hard. "I don't think we ever got to know each other before. What made you want to play the game in the first place? Or... How did you and Teion meet? If you don't mind talking about yourself." She offered a polite, well-meaning smile. She wasn't sure if either question was too personal or unwelcome.

Ryo 0 Posted February 10 #20 Share Posted February 10 Ryo set his glass down and leaned back a bit, stretching his spine. Ryo nodded. "Yeah. It's made with honey and yeast. I think this one had some wildflowers and berries. Not my usual, but it's alright." He said, stretching what little knowledge he had about brewing. He turned to her and smiled large when she asked if he was a cook. "I am!" He said excited. "I've really only made some mix drinks before. Not so much into full blown brewing. I can make some simple syrups, and know how to properly use the shaker." He said, miming the actions. He pointed to the glass. "Didn't you already drink that?" He asked, looking at the filled glass. He looked down at his own, and saw that it was also filled with the light brown mixture. "What the?" He said picking up his glass. [̸̧̡͎̗̦̺̲̦̼̯͇̪̣̗̋̔͋̓̍̂͛̃͘̕Ĥ̵̛̳͍̣͍́̇͂͗͛̐͛̏̆͋͝ave a drink, it's on the house] He drank it again, noting the same mixture of flavors. The same smells, and the same burn. "No idea if this is meant to be the reward." He said. "Kind of a bad reward if it is." He said, before getting the idea to check his menu. He made a face. "It's not completing. There's no other steps." He said, looking at the menu. "Is this shit bugged?" He said, letting out a chuckle. Ryo watched as Tel grabbed a stool and dragged it over to the bar to sit on. Ryo elected to lean still. "What got me into playing the game? I mean, the same answer a lot of people have. A bit of spare money, and a want to play the biggest thing since sliced bread." He said. "I mean, a hundred floors of a MMORPG to go through and fight everything. It's simple, and it's neat. All these different floors for people to roleplay, to be someone they're not." He said, setting his empty glass on the counter. "There was a fireworks festival on one of the floors a while back. I saw her waiting around, and I knew she was with someone already. No one that pretty stands around for no reason, it was obvious she was waiting for someone. But a little thought in the back of my head was like. 'Hey, you should go say hi', so I did." Ryo said, answering he questions.
