[SP:F1] <<EAL>> Every Passing Hour COMPLETED

[Audacity 0]

Surely in the real world a fall from where she was now would result in a broken spine and more. But did the same physics apply in a virtual world? If she weren't such a calm, intelligent young woman surely curiosity would take over. Luckily it hadn't and she continued climbing after taking just one more look at the ground far below her feet. In the process she snatched a piece of cloth, certainly out of place, hanging on a branch. "Four more to go." She sighed happily, rather relieved the job had become quicker than before as the Sun now hung low in the sky.

If someone told her that reliving a childhood activity would bring her more materials than searching in an endless field she would have done that long ago. More materials seemed to be common and reside in this Ash tree placed about in a field with no other types of plants - other than grass and occasional patches of flowers - in sight. The random yet torn cloth had surprised her the most quite honestly. Whatever she could get, though, that related to the profession of a Tailor is what she'd take. No need to be greedy during such a tedious task.

Her body had nearly reached the top by now. How long had it been? Ten minutes or so, she concluded. By now the limbs of the tree were furthering from each other which made her journey much harder to accomplish. She, despite being of average height, had rather short arms and legs whilst her torso made up the tallest part of her body.

The bottom of her boots continued to scrape against the rough bark as both of her arms clung tightly to the thickest branch available and in reach. A quiet squeal emitted from her throat out of instinct but she felt calm on the inside and remained this way all the while. With nothing to stand on beneath her feet Audacity felt trapped; technically, she was. But the young woman wrapped legs around the base of the tree and pulled herself up manually in the most exhausting way physically possible. "This has certainly been a lucky day of mine." She muttered sarcastically and in parted huffs.

Eventually - taking more than enough time - she'd made her way to the very top. Upper body emerging from the highest elevation of the tree, she glanced around in slight awe. Of course she'd witnessed similar scenery before now but every time such things managed to take her breath away. Not to mention the free material she gained in the process: definitely worthy of a gasp and of her time spent climbing. Wind blew and rustled her pink curls slightly. Glistening eyes dulled upon realization of having to make the way back down.

Reluctantly she shimmied down - twisting and turning to weave through and past mangled branches. This, which she happened to begin to remember from distant memories, had always been the worst part of the adventure that came with climbing a such a large plant. Her hands began hurting as they'd brushed against the Ash bark far too much to be considered comfortable. A few more branches and she peered over to take a look at the distance from her form to the soft, grassy land below.

She'd be able to jump down soon enough. Her body lowered a foot or two lower and then she pondered on how exactly she'd perform this act. Long before now her mind calculated body mass, game mechanics, ground hardness, as well as distance and if worst happened then her feet would merely hurt for a second or two. A quick stinging pain. Beside her a thread falls and she takes this as a good sign. Collecting the material for herself she breathes deeply.

One leap and she's gone. The wind suddenly picks up and whips curls behind her whilst the pieces of loose clothing she currently has equipped do the same. Squinting pink eyes to shield them from the rapidly blowing air she awaits the right moment. When the times comes she encloses her body and moves forward.

A shoulder hits the ground. Audacity rolls, allowing the ground to make contact with her neck, right shoulder, and back. Before she knows it the young woman is kneeling and has both hands clinging to the tall, swaying grass. Hopping up to her feet, hands lift to fix messy attire and pull them back into proper place.

"Phew." She runs a hand through pink curls. Her heart pumps rapidly from the rush she'd received while jumping and falling through the air. If only she'd savored the moment while it'd occurred; surely next time she would make sure to do so because the beating organ in her chest ensured that the moment had been thrilling. Her eyes weren't shut, at least, that had to be the only advantage to support her memory.

On the ground is a reliever: a piece of basic cloth. With an acceptance of material she smiles - or at least curls her rosy lips up as much as they'll go - and moves on. It'll take a while for her to get back now that she realizes how much land she's covered but dusk has yet to come so Audacity doesn't mind. Nor does she think time even matters with NPC's and quests.

1 more material until she can meet up with Tony. The sky was now a deep hue of blue signifying it'd turn colors soon enough. Though she turns and begins heading back to town her mind doesn't allow herself to search in the same spots as before. Of course she remembered every spot on the field already visited.

Her pink eyes scan the fields, the same thing they've been doing for quite a while. Soon enough a sparkle in the distance reflecting off of a dim, low hanging sun catches her eyes. Audacity moves towards it; or more so she quickly paces in the accurate direction. She's got the quest - finally- completion in her hands.

Her eyes hadn't failed. "Absolutely stupendous." She lifted the cloth and placed it into her inventory quickly before nearly jogging towards Tony's shop. The sky had darkened by the time she reached the hill which instantly received a glare from Audacity. With a grunt she makes her way up towards the lone building. The quest marker she once had changes colors as her objective is updated.

Tony's eyes flicker upwards as his attention is drawn towards a supposed customer. He smiles, though, when a certain pink-haired female is seen making her way towards the front counter. "How lovely. You're back." Tony seems to scan her face for emotion before speaking again. "Have fun, darling?" His voice has a tone of sarcasm that makes Audacity sigh and roll her pink eyes. "I have the 10 materials you asked for." That triggers the next part of her quest as the new objective is to learn the process of crafting. 

[Audacity 0]

"Come, come." He motions towards the back of his shop and Audacity follows as the NPC begins walking to the designated room without waiting for an answer. A brow raises and pink curls are brushed behind ears whilst eyes take in the appearance of parts of the large building that are hidden from the public. "Don't you need me to transfer the materials to your inventory?" She asks which causes Tony to laugh aloud. "No. I just made you search for those so you had something extra to use - other than what I gave you - when you started your very own Tailor shop." He was dead serious and even showed that fact. The young woman mentally smacks her forehead and wishes that she went somewhere else to be taught, though her calmness and patience kicks in as Tony speaks again. "Pay attention, now. I'll show you how to work the system."

[Audacity 0]

Instead of the NPC literally showing her how to works things manually a tutorial guide pops up before her that'd seemingly been unlocked by her reaching this part of the quest. Her read-through was quick, though she ensured that her eyes caught every piece of information available; Audacity didn't want this moment to be anything like when she simply scanned the game guide without a care. Her Eidetic memory could pick up everything and in about 2 minutes she exited the menu which signaled Tony's next speech and movement.

[Audacity 0]

"Congratulations, darling. You're officially a Tailor. Feel free to enjoy the privileges of setting up a shop on any Floor cleared so far, earning the title of an honorary Tailor, and getting some of that cash money~" Tony moved back to his spot behind the front counter while Audacity moved out of the back room with a smile resting on her face. One had, unknowingly, been there for quite a while. "Ta-ta." He waved by wiggling his fingers as the young woman exited the shop.

[Audacity 0]

Now officially finished with the quest she had a few rather important questions on her mind regarding the future. What would she name her shop? Would she be successful? Luckily she'd thought of the Floor and location there already. The name would be most important, no doubt. That was often what drew people in or pushed them away. The human mind and way people thought always had confused her, she didn't understand much about it. Not like a lot of others'did either. Her boots clicked against pavement as she neared a small yet cozy inn she stayed at on weeknights. Familiar sights flooded her sight and brought a safe sense of warmth. She yawns and stretches before entering the inn. Tonight she'd definitely crash early and sleep peacefully. That is, if negativity or nightmare-inducing thoughts didn't invade her temporary happiness and inner-strength as a person.

[Audacity 0]

Inside she grabbed her "#4" key off the wall which recognized her fingerprint and allowed the young woman to enter her room. It was made up neat and left just as it was when she was here a week before. Staying in the same place all of the time got boring. Why would she stay here when so many inns offered free service anyhow? Plopping in bed she removes her clothes while laying down - something nearly impossible in real life - and curls up underneath fuzzy, warm blankets. It's not the same as home but it would do for now.
