(VR MMORPG)Story of Creation:the ruins of symphony raid part 8
| >Golden runs around excitedly checking each store, Beryl follows along indifferently. Someone seems to lowkey enjoy shopping districts
(7)
| (20 in one roll, wow)
"Hmm..."
>Shima strolls around the district, wanting to find a store that sell accessories and stuffs
| >>189978
(gah i overslept)
>sadly all of the stores are empty.
>but shima does come across something.
(i assume she call the rest over)
| "Gee..it's so disappointing that every stores in this place was empty..i was hoping that there would be something that can be looted..."
>She expresses her complaint
>Suddenly she saw something that catches her attention
"Huh..? Hey guys, what is that thing?"
>She points her finger
| >>190220
(some little fix)
>She shouts loudly at the other party members, hoping that everyone could hear
"GUYS..? CAN YOU GUYS COME HERE FOR A BIT? I THINK I'VE FOUND SOMETHING."
>She then points her finger to the direction where she found it
"What is that thing..?"
| >>190220
>Shima points to a strange looking shop.
>strang in wich unlike its surrounding it is not overgrown or in ruins in any way.
>just a perfectly maintained shop,in a dead and abandoned ancient city with its lights still on.
>perhaps it would be fruitfull to investigate (no need to roll for this one)
(sorry i did that so i wouldn't have to be on a timer when i am describing it.)
| (so who goes in first, or does anyone go in at all?
(ghost noises)ooooooiio......)
| >Golden marches in like nothing could go wrong
| >Shima was dumbfounded, she stares Golden from outside
"Wha.."
| >>190244
>when inside it looks to be a general store.
>all around the room there are precursor trinkets galor.
>armour, weapons, technology , spell books, and even random stuff for decorating ones player house
>every thing seems to be in very good quality, but rather pricy zel wise.
>a robot stands behind the counter.
Welcome in potential customer,
Would you like to purchase something.
| "Do you have hair color changing potions?"
>Golden puts a large armored hand on his chin, thinking about random things he'd like to buy
| >>190244
>Shima chases Golden
"Golden, wait!"
>She enters the shop
"..Wha..what is this place..?"
"I never thought there would be an actual shop inside a raid.."
>She scans the shops, looking at weapons and stuffs
"Hmm..are these items legit, i wonder..?"
| >>190267
Searching directory for 'hair color changing potions'
...
...
...
Item found hair dyes available for all known colors,price is 500 zel per bottle, would you like to buy.
| "Yes."
>Golden buys a bunch. (lol)
| (optionally, you can roll to investigate, maybe something good can be spotted under all that crud)
| (optionally, you can roll to investigate, maybe something good can be spotted under all that crud)
| (3..meh -Shima)
>She doesn't find anything that catches her attention, but she keeps looking at them over and over
"Hmm.."
| (13)
>Golden nods quite satisfied
| (nothing interesting was found,
But you can roll again if you want)
| "ahh and would you happen to offer appraisal services?"
>Golden asks the robo-keeper
| "Alright"
>Golden steps back and waits for her party members to purchase something, perhaps even notice something especially valuable
| (rolls again..9)
>Apparently Shima got bored because she doesn't find anything interesting
"Hmm..are they not here yet..?"
>Shima is mentioning about the other party member
| >>190344
(wait does that mean you are gonna try another roll or are you waiting for someon else to roll?)
(also you can ask the robot the classic 'what are you selling?' to open a shop menu like in other games)
| "Hey, it's not fair, why are you guys entering the shop first?"
> Aria stomps inside the shop in an inflated sense of annoyance.
"What a lovely store."
> She comments before going near the robot.
"So, what's in store?"
| >>190356
>aria is then shown a menu listing some things up for sale.
>its all rather expensive.
>the menu shows:
> some standard potions.
>high quality crafting materials.
>and some other suff.
>it seems if you want any of the good stuff you need to look for it (optional roll)
| >Out of curiosity, Shima ask Golden about the hair dyes
"Err..Golden? that's quite the amount you bought there..what are you going to do with these hair dyes?"
| >>190374
(correction, an aria *inspection* roll)
(sadly aria finds nothing)
(also tell me when you are all ready to proceed)
| >>190376
(Aria *Intuition* roll.)
"Well, there goes that."
> Aria finishes searching through the menu. Finding nothing that is both cheap and useful enough for her.
"I'm leaving empty handed for now."
| "I guess me neither.."
>Ready -Shima)
| >latebutready-trap
| (3 outa 4
>derpeyesplit.jpeg)
>a rather loud explosion can be heard outside followed by a loud feminine scream
KYAAAA PLEASE DONT EAT ME
>and another explosion.
| > Aria ran outside, not saying a word to the party — her surprise had led her instincts to, as quickly as possible, see the explosion.
| "!?"
>Golden shoves the Bottles into Beryl's hands before running outside as well
| >outside the party sees a smol girl surrounded by monsters.

CROSSBOLG
>she shouts.
>a flame erupts from her staff and consumes the monsters.
>all that is left is ash and cinder.
Uwahh why does this always happen when im alone...
>She doesnt see the party yet.
| "..!? Did someone triggered a boss spawn?!"
>Shima quickly exits the shop
(sorry, i'm going to sleep now, good night)
| (lol same -Golden)
| (oh thank god, i did *not* flesh this segment out enough, goodnight.
>morphine)
| (AFK after this. Good night, everyone-that-is-sleeping!)
"That's not good."
> Aria remarked, readying her sword in her left hand. She is prepared to dash forward, in case the small girl is completely overpowered.
"I'm not one to be the knight—.. but that looks neither fine nor good to me."
| (all g/u/rl party now. Almost)
| (im ready, just waiting if you all have time)
|
| (Ready here. -xnbc)
| (yoooo -Golden)
| (Ready -Shima)
| >the smol loli is jumpscared by the party.
KYAAHH.
>she then blunders into golden who blinds her
KYAAHH TOO BRIGHT.
>she then somehow kills herself because if the blindness.
>she respawns.
AHH STILL BRIGHT!
>she then kills herself again.
>something tells you that this will not stop untill line of sight between her and golden is cut.
| "Uh.."
> Aria looks at Golden shining armor. Something about it seems less obvious; one of them is the glaring shine.
"—I fail to notice how this happens, but.."
> She ushers Golden to step back — or at least, wear something that isn't trying to outshine the sun.
| >she is still trapped in an endless self PK cycle.
| >>191534
"Err...wat..???"
>Shima is dumbfounded
(rolled 18 for random action)
>Shima casts her new learned buff on Golden
"I think this should do.."
[Darkness Aura]
>Grants the user dark element
>Increase movement speed by 30%, and attack speed by 15%
>The buff makes Golden's armor less brighter than before..but perhaps still quite bright..?
| >Trapped nudges golden
"Hey, take off some cloths, maybe you'll be less bright."
| >>191551
(gahd dangkit trappes we just got out of the lemons, there will *literally* be a thread for that later)
>eventually the loli blunders into arias tits (wich i assume are impressive)
Whoah *grab* *grab* so soft.
>she kinda doesn't move.
(you know what scrach that i wanna see where this goes)
| Hmmm... Something is clearly wrong...*grab* *squeeze*..
But i cant tell what....
>she says face still in arias rack.
| >>191554
(Aria is actually flat — I'm talking Jill-level flat.)
"You know—"
> Aria takes the loli's hands (and to an extent, her whole self) away from her body.
"—Unless you can prove to me you aren't a perverted old man living in a small girl's body—"
> She gazes at the loli, eyes fixated on her.
"—Then my asset is not for yours to take."
| (It was obviouasly the delicious booty she grabs)
>Trapped, for extra measure, puts a tarp over golden, making him look more like a lamp then anyrhing else
| >>191571
>she is jumpscared again.
KYAHH S-S-SORRY I-I I WAS BLINDED AND THERE WAS A SHARP ROCK AND.
>she panic explains what already happened.
AND I WAS HERE TO LOOK FOR SOMEONE AND THEN I KEPT DYING-
>she seems genuinely sorry under all the flutter.
| "Uh-huh. That much is what I already know."
> Aria reacted absolutely too calmly for what had happened. Her expression is close to being stiff and cold, but there is a sign of emotion somewhere inside.
"So—.. looking for someone? Is it your party member?"
| >Shima sighs
"Sheesh...all that fuss for a small thing.."
"Althought..i was surprised that i haven't even complaint about Golden's absurdly bright armor from the beginning..what's wrong with me, i wonder..?"
>She ask a question to herself while tilting her head
>After that, she talks about something that was bothering her
"Umm...I was sure that i've heard some loud explosions before..what was happened?"
| >>191582
>she doesn't seem to notice what the party looks like yet.
Uhhmmm i was looking for a small boy with a large sword, a mage girl with black hair and a readheaded maid...
>she still seems rather panicked despite the calm response
| >>191588
"Care to explain how you were lost in the first place? This is a relatively high-level raid — one of you — nay, you all should be adequately knowledgeable enough to anticipate events like these."
> Aria answers, but it may just intimidate the small girl instead of giving her comfort.
| >>191592
Ohh um its ok!
>she says with a smile.
Im actually level 70!
Becha weren't expecting that!
>she then looks rather sad.
Its because im so small isn't it..........
| >>191598
"Well, if you were in that high of a level, then you wouldn't be lost in the first place."
> Aria burrows her hand in her forehead, trying to come up with a solution to the problem.
"Look, I only moments ago learned of the dynamism of gender in this game — I'm still diasporic about it — my head is still not in the correct position to digest all this."
> She pauses, looking at the girl.
"—I just don't expect a high-level player to get lost."
| >>191606
>she puffs her cheeks its rather adorable
Im not lost, as i said i was looking for someone.
>she then notices what aria looks like.
Ohhh he also told me.
>she changes her voice too sound grumpy and stoic
Also if you find a beautiful (i assume) lady with Orange hair give her this.
>she then hands over some bat ear chips.
I have no idea what they are in the slightest.
>she says with an innocent smile.
| >>191606
>she puffs her cheeks its rather adorable

>she then notices what aria looks like.

>she then hands over some bat ear chips.
I have no idea what they are in the slightest.
>she says with an innocent smile.
| >>191617
"Heh."
> Aria takes the bat chips; a weird smile is in her face as she does so.
"—Listen, how old were you again?"
> The awkward smile is still grafted in Aria's face.
| >>191620
"Both here, in real life, and in any other timeline of which may exist for us now."
> The lengthy response of Aria was uncalled for.
| >>191613
"Well..i honestly don't know who she is"
>Shima tilts her head while she scratches her head
| >>191621
Umm then either way i would be the age of someone in first year highschool.i am also in first year high!
>she does a cute spin while saying that.
| >Trapped groans, putting a hand on her face
"I feel like i'm being out lolied..."
| >>191625
"Figures—"
>>191626
"—And this is time for you to learn a lesson in life."
> Aria holds the bat chips in her right hand, and she does so while unequipping her sword.
"A lesson about taking cues—"
> Suddenly, a strong, violent air gushes and circles over the party! Aria has activated [Sword of Air] again.
> The air builds to a hurricane, and in that moment, Aria throws the chips.
"—WHEN SOMEONE DISLIKES SOMETHING!"
> 'BOOM!' the wind blasted the chips away!
| >>191630
>Shima suddenly recognizes the thing that was blasted by Aria
"Oh..is that..bat ear chips? And also, i think she have said something about a person told her to give that, and the person was a 'he'.."
>Shima reaches a conclusion
"Perhaps you were send here by 'him'..?"
| > The air dissipates as all the chips are flung away, shattering them in an instant.
"Sheesh. Curse you, Nova."
> She mutters, an inflated, and comical hatred for the chips are more than her character at this point.
"—So, you've found the orange-haired lady. What are you doing next?"
| >>191641
>she cant answer any questions because of the panic induced by arias chip hatred.
>perhaps if one was able to calm her.
| >>191645
"Guys, mind giving a hand?"
> Aria turns to the party, having no idea what to do with the girl now.
| >eventually she the loli burns herself out.
>she then returns to aria.
S-s-sorry i didnt know.
>and starts crying.
>that *probably* causes some party members to think aria is a monster of making such an adorable thing cry.
| >Trapped mumbles under her breathnn though still plenty audible
"Ah... my love or the loli..."
| >she eventually walks up to the loli, and gives her a head pat.
"there there..."
| >>191661
> Aria sighs; dealing with kids aren't quite her best ability — here, on in real life.
"Okay, okay—"
> Seeing Trapped comfort the girl, Aria felt less guilty of making her cry.
"I'll get the party to lend you a hand at finding whoever you're looking for."
| (lol i just missed something funny)
| (Right now, the alt is like, a head taller then the loli)
| >>191680
>The loli calms down.
>>191687
Umm i was looking for some people named trapped, golden, and shima,.
>she says unknowingly
| >Shima sighs and scold aria a little
"Geez..Aria, even though you hate that thing, letting out your rage on that girl is a wrong thing to do, you know.."
| >>191694
"I didn't—.."
> Aria let out a long sigh again, she has been in this situation, and will always be.
>>191693
"So, why are you looking for them?"
> She faces the girl. Her expression numbed to show only curiosity.
| "ahh. I return seemingly shrouded in darkness... And a tablecloth..."
"I'd say something about my intense luminosity. But I do that enough already hah hah"
>The absurd lamp begins to speak
| >>191696
>she puts a finger near her mouth to think
Because he was all like
>her voice changes to sound stoic.
Hey ellie i had to drop out of a raid to help grem and W can you cover for me?
>she goes back to her usual cheerie demeanor
And i said OK!
| >>191699
"Ah."
> In Aria's mind, it's clear who this person is; maybe her teammates are already having a mental picture on who he is.
"—Well. You have been tasked to help this party out; is that what I'm hearing?"
| >Trapped pets the loli more, smiling
"So ellie's your name then, cute~"
>She turns to the lamp, briefly forgetting he exists.
"Can you see alright in there Golden? I can cut eye holes out"
| >>191706
"I'd really rather know why I'm covered in a cloth like an antique statue, did i begin to collect dust on my time off?"
| >>191708
"I'm sure we always need more hand here. Considering Trapped is already accepting you, I don't see why we all shouldn't party up."
> Aria answered, her expression is one degree less colder than before.
| >>191710
"Our knight in shining armor was so obnoxiously bright that it spooked our loli and made her go into a loop of dying."
| "..."
"How does that even happen"
>Golden seems rather calm, almost torpid under the cloth
| >>191708
"So Nova isn't returning? Why so? It's quite strange to be the only man in a party that tempts my virtues so"
| >>191714
>she jumps with joy, it looks so cute.
Yay!
>she then moves closer to aria and trapped.
>her eyes look like stars,as in her pupils are *literally* shaped like stars.

Does that mean i can call you two big sis?
>she says so excitedly.
(note that she is *mega* cute)
| "Oh boy..i think i might gonna have a diabetes"
>Shima turns her face away
| >>191720
> There is a smear of blush in Aria's face, but it's not obvious enough.
"If possible, I would like to avoid being called like so — but I cannot stop nor prevent you from doing that."
| >Trapped gives an awkward loom at aria, as if to say, "Should o tell her i'm technically a man?" nevertheless she smiles at the loli
"Of course you can..."
| >Golden, who hasn't yetseen the face of the person talking, tears the cloth off with a wide, extravagant flourish matching his radiant brilliance
| >>191727
> Aria was taken off guard by the hug, she almost took a fall down, but she manages to hold the weight of Ellie.
"Sheesh—I feel a strong jamais vu from all this."
>>191728
> Aria puts her index finger on her lips, making a 'shh' gesture — maybe it's best to hide the fact for now.
| >Shima turns to the party's direction, and then suddenly talks
"Guys..i'm really curious about the loud explosion back then..i mean, what was actually happened?"
| >>191737
"A spell being activated? I'm not sure either."
> Aria looks at Shima before returning her gaze to Ellie.
| >>191760
"See, I'm not far off."
> Aria laughs at the sentence — a much needed break from her stoicism.
| >>191760
"Wow..that's cool! eh..wait..the enemies doesn't simply pop out of nowhere...could you be any chance has beaten the district's boss alone..?"
>Shima ask that out of curiosity
| >>191766
Oh you are though!
At level fifty the system lets you create a ultimate move!
Nova says i happens again at 75.
Let me demonstrate.
>she equipped her staff.
>she then cast [crossbolg]
>a giant flame erupts from her staff.
>it consumes everything in front of ellie.
>where once great precursor buildings stood only ash remains.
Ta da!
>she acts like its common knowlage.
| >>191771
>After the demonstration ellie just gives shima a curious look.
Maybe?i saw a big thing and it was called the shopping district protector os something.
>she say unknowingly
| >>191773
"Wait. Golden, Shima — aren't you both above level 50? How is this not a knowledge you are aware of?"
> Aria looks at the two, feeling honestly confused — and amazed, at the same time.
"—But then again, I'm sure we have made one too many move combination, I'd say that is the party's ultimate move, haha."
| >Trapped looks off to the side
"Everytime i try using my ultimate, i bite my tongue, so i stopped..."
| "My ultimate turned out to be unnecessary really"
>Golden shrugs
| >>191776
"Hmm..i didn't really know that, i was so focused on grinding and i didn't open my skill panel up until now..perhaps the skill that i failed to cast was my ultimate skill."
>She continues talking
"But..to think that i would fail on casting the skill, meanwhile a loli could handle it better than you..it's sad"
>She curls into a ball
| >>191780
"Saame, like, why would anyone need to grow their sword an unlimited amount? like i want to hit this dragon, not the moon..."
| >>191788
>Golden claps his hands together with great force. As if having an incredibly stupid idea, so much you can almost see a twinkle in the black slit his helmet has for eye holes
| "You guys depress me."
> And another sigh of realization from Aria.
"It also makes me think that I need to carefully decide upon my ultimate skill later."
> She then ponders a little — almost like a daydreaming with a long 'hmm'.
"—Shooting lots of swords is fun, but I may need to rethink about that later."
| >>191774
"Whoa..does this mean..this area has already cleared? She literally has already killed the area's boss..."
>She talks while still in ball pose
| "let me stand on your sword. Grow it do that I may touch the sun!!"
>Golden is taken by a hysterical laughter coated in madness
| (grow it so)
| >>191786
>ellie come up to shima.
There,there,ummm
>she gives her staff a sad look,almost as if the sight of it triggers happy memories long since have come to pass.
You can hold staff if you want.
Every one says its awsome because its a 'red level'item or something.
I dont really get it though.
>she offers shima the staff.
| >>191796
>Trapped looks weirded out for a bit, but shrugs, quickly switching back to his sword character.
"I mean, sure, but... why would i want to put *two* suns in the air?"
>she sticks her sword out, nevertheless.
| >>191796
"Ugh—.. that brings a memory I wasn't aware of. Something about a god and a lightning — what a random memory to remember."
> Aria says in the offtopic.
>>191801
"Wait, you are actually doing what he is saying, Trapped?"
| >voice dripping with madness, golden places a hand firmly around the edge. He nods ready
(Lmao plan to crash into a battlecruiser from the space empire grid)
| "Onwards into the skyyyyy"
| >>191799
>Shima notices that Ellie was making a sad face before offering her staff
"Wha..hey- uh.. thank you, but...i think i don't think i can accept it. Because...it looks like that staff is really precious to you, so you shouldn't just give them away to someone...besides, i was just doing some newbie mistake, so it's fine."
>Shima refuse it politely and tries to cheer her up
>She is still in her ball pose
| >Trapped sighs raiseing the sword, *and golden* into the air.
"How does it go again...?"
/Gavalugg, Aweiss, Ankor, Blut.../
>She rambles off, and the sword rapidly grows, taking golden with it.
"where to next btw? I can walk while doing this."
/Champa, Flugil, Ozin, Quot/
| "... What sort of madness am I going to witness."
> Aria pauses, struggling to find a word to even fit her reaction.
"—I thought that whole plan was a joke!"
| "HAH HAH HAH hah hah hah hah"
>Golden's laughter grows weaker from the distance as he's lifted farther and farther into the sky
| "You can grab on too, sweetie, free ride to space here we go~"
/Inti, Pluot, Kuno, Dot/
| >>191815
"Huh? Oh..thank you.."
>Shima blushes
>She then saw what the party were doing
"Err...wat? Trapped, do you intend to make Golden's armor more brighter like the sun?!"
>She said it with a surprised face
| >after some time erecting the peni-i-i mean sword, a large metal object comes crashing down the atmosphere.
>it lands outside the raid area.
(thanks for the idea for the next event)
>perhaps one could hear laughing.
| >Trapped looks up, between golden and the sun, it wouldn't be impossible to think that there were two suns in the sky, how amusing
"Honestly, i don't intend to do anything. This just seemd fun."
| "I could have sworn we were still on the tracks of sanity a moment ago."
> Sarcasm was all Aria could throw for what she is seeing.
"You see, Ellie, these sort of things are what this party is best at."
> She faces Ellie, trying to hammer in the team's competence at colloquial incompetence.
| >>191843
Yay! Thats why nova said i would like you guys!
Its already fun playing with big sis!
>she says unable to contain her joy.it looks so adorable watching her try.
| /Virgil, Golden, Ariel FACK/
>Trapped bit her tongue, dropping thw sword and sending it falling far off into the distance, probably accidentally griefing a town.
| >A message appears on region chat
/Ha hah aha HAH/
| >a message from nova appears.
/you people a fhakin nuts/
/and i love it that was funny/
| >Shima speaks
"Wow..i didn't expect for the other side to be able to see it too"
| >>191848
"Should we.. should we be concerned?"
> Aria reads the message, obviously looking concerned.
>>191844
"Well, if this is up to your boots, then I presume I have nothing to stop you from ever objecting to these ludicrous plans."
> Answering Ellie's glee of happiness was hard for Aria, but she went it out fine.
| >At a specific spot in the sky, a twinkle is seen as a new star is made. It shines like the child of the sun
| >Trapped types in player chat
"do you like, need help getting down?"
| /worry not. I'd like to be here for a while/
| "Dang, it's already very bright even with one sun..but there is two of them now. Argh..my eyes.."
>Shima cover her eyes with her hands
(Sorry guys, i gotta go sleep now..good night. -Ryz)
| >>191919
(Good night!)
"In hindsight, maybe we could have sent someone dimmer?!"
> Aria interjects whatever talk was in the topic, covering her eyes at the appearance of the secondary sun.
| (gah!im awake, im awake!
I might have been doing yesterdays session on my bed and dosed off from the comfiest bed ever... Sorry)
(but im ready today!)
| >>192643
(Shima here, i'm good to go, though i think i'll wait for the others.
And also, just get some rest when you are tired, don't overdo it.)
| (i have to do something rn. Good thing Golden's disabled in an interesting way)
| (still waiting on aria and trapped
>morphine)
| >Trapped sighs
"Never mind golden right now, i'm sure he's havinf the time of his life. I think i heard something crash from outside the raid area, should we check that out, or..."
| >>193114
>a message from nova appears.
/uhh was the giant space ship you?/
/one crashed near primaria/
(you all just gave me an idea for the next arc)
| >Trapped sighs
"Hey, do any of you guys remember the [TENTACLE MONSTERS FROM OUTER SPACE] event? I *hope* it was my doing and not one of those stupid... Whatever"
>She types
/Are space monsters oozing out?/
/If not probably me/
/or both/
| >>193121
/no monsters/
/crazy virus though/
/probably explore with you guys or someone else/
/on the other hand, cool player-made event/
| >>193121
/no monsters/
/crazy virus though/
/probably explore with you guys or someone else/
/on the other hand, cool player-made event/
| "'tentacle'? brr..i'm already shivering even if it's only a word..thankfully it's not the case though.."
>Shima shivers
>She types
/I think there's one more area left that needs to be investigated in this raid../
/And besides, you said that there is a crazy virus in the ship..how do we even investigate?/
| >>193175
/dafaq should i know? Looks like a zombie virus though/
/infecting NPCs and the whole 10 yards/
/but never mind that you should get back to the raid/
/did the person i send reach you guys yet?/
| >>193183
>Shima types
/Oh, that cutie-pie? yup, she's already here. Man, how i wish that i can have a little sister like her.../
/By the way..is she your little sister or something?/
| >>193187
/uhh gotta go the zombies are leaking out of the ship/

>its a picture of a NPC turned into a zombie via alien virus. It gave the thing tentacles./
/just know she is good at heart/
/but she is also a ditz and very Childish/
/but she probably already made an example of that.../
/welp treat her well, i need to gather some friends to help stave off a zombie invasion now, BYE!/
| (Heyo, Aria here. I'll be AFK today because stuff ensure in my life. So..)
"Huh. Those are peculiar messages th—"
> Aria immediately froze in place, then in just a split second, she fell over — headfirst — into the ground. A loud 'thud' can be heard as she collapses.
"—AAAA!"
> She screams agony before forcefully disconnecting herself; one can only wonder what is happening to her.
| >Trapped mumbles aloud
"Fucking knew there would be tentacles..."
>She switches back to her mage alt
"Gotta get ready to burn them with fire...."
| >>193215
"Tentacle is..um..a- err.. i don't know how to explain this..."
>Shima is confused and turns her direction away from ellie
"Well..the most important thing is, don't ever get caught by it, Don't EVER."
| >>193256
"G-Gah!"
>Shima is having a nosebleed, but she quickly covers and wipe it with her hand
>She quickly changes the topic
"A-Anyway, looks like there's only three active members at the moment..should we proceed or wait for the others? And also..after Aria bumped herself, she was gone..."
| >>193270
Duhhhmmm
I guess we wait! Its what W would do!
>she says happily
(yeah not enough peeps, wanna continue tomorrow?)
| >Trapped yawns
"Yeah, that sounds like a plan"
| "Guess there is no other choice..imma gonna lie down for a bit"
>Shima lie down on the floor, and after a while, you could hear some snoring
(Yup, let's continue tomorrow, i guess)
| (>im tired,not ready and hate white.)
(wolololo is the word of god<)
(im ready, full if energy and love white)
| (ready >Shima)
| (ready -Golden)
| (At work, but ready. -xnbc)
| (3/4 ok)
>there is a loud clang.
>it came from the central area of the ruins.
| >Shima noticed that there is a loud noise from the central
"Hmm..? what was that?"
"Guys, let's check it out"
>Shima goes toward the source of the loud noise
| >>194781
(i assume everyone follows cuz there is nothing left to do there)
>the walk back to the central area takes a while.
>ellie decides to help pass time with a conversation.
Soooo...uuuuhhhhh....
What does nova act like around you guys?
>she seems genuinely curious.
| >>194783
>Shima answers Ellie's question
"Hmm...in my point of view is.."
"He usually bosses everyone around, sometimes harsh and sometime is not, i don't know about what everyone else thinks about him though.."
| >she awaits a reply from the others
| >she awaits a reply from the others
| >Trapped groans
"Well, he's got a hell of an itchy trigger finger..."
|
| (...
....
.....
Ya know im gonna need a response from everyone.
>morphine )
| >An unaware Golden humms a tune to himself as he floats around peacefully
| It's the finger you shoot people with
>Trapped mimics finger guns
| (you guys dead?
We can continue tomorrow if you all would like.)
| (To be fair, Aria was disconnected, and I also had lotsa job, sorry.)
> Materializing near the party was the party's resident rook — it took her the time, but it seems she is longingly better than before; at least, she isn't screaming bloody murder on top of her lungs.
"—I hate this."
> Although better, her face shows sign of distress.
"—S-sorry. I had a few problems."
| >>195465
>ellie jumps to hug aria.
yay! Big sis is back!
>she hugs aria intetly.
>it has to be illegal to be that cute.
| >>195468
> Aria pats Ellie with lackluster energy.
"Sorry, I wasn't able to hold the ache longer—.. I had to leave for a bit."
> She lets the girl to step back. Aria's weakness is more apparent than ever as she moves her slender legs.
"Ugh— What did I miss? Anything strange? Anything peculiar? M-my head still hurts, don't give me long words to process."
| >>195498
"H-he is a friend. Perhaps a bit brash, but a person is a person; a virtual representation is no—"
> Aria stops, realizing her rambling self is exposing out.
"—He is rash at times, but I appreciate him for sticking along with us; even though we were highly incompetent at times."
| >>195499
(roll call real quick
Me
Xnbc
And who else?)
Uhhhh are you sure thats nova?
He doesn't act like that around me or the magpies.
>she seems confused
| >>195506
"What do you mean?"
> Aria is even more confused in the regard. It felt like the Nova she saw was *the* Nova.
"—I don't know any other answer to the question. I felt that he is nice, but in his own way. I would say a 'Chaotic Neutral' — is what describes him best."
| >>195508
Uhmmm
He would always be weirdly calm unless there would be a huge monster and ummm
He would always cook for us.
>she looks sad.
And whenever fenne and W would say no he would be all like 'come on whats the point me cooking all this food without friends to enjoy it'
And it would always taste so good..
>she looks *really* sad now.
And..and..
He would always smile and stuff..he is always so sad now..
>she brightens up a bit.
What would he say?
'thats from better times ellie'
| >>195521
> Aria smiles, in her mind, a reflection of herself was projected to Ellie.
"What an odd fellow, hm?"
> She pats Ellie again. A noticeable hint of nostalgia strikes her.
"We all have our own better times — a past that we'd like to experience once more. Maybe Nova simply want to forget it all, or better yet—"
> Aria's smile becomes warmer, more expressive, than before. She is clearly seeing something in Ellie's story.
"—Maybe be wants to seize days like those again."
| >>195525
>she falls somehow falls asleep while still hugging aria.
>its so adorable it can stop mountains.
| >>195530
"Sleep. Sleep, and let the memories reconcile with you again."
> Aria drags herself down to a sit, softly pushing the sleeping Ellie. The hug was kept, but they both are on the ground — one is soundly asleep.
"This is a game. Why am I feeling all of these memories here? Haha."
> She weakly laughed, only to find herself staring into general direction as thoughts fill her mind.
| I wonder how healthy it ia to sleep in an mmo
>Trapped mumbles, keeping watch for a bit
| >a small black spaceship flys by.
>it wakes ellie up.
Huhh wahh...
The black hawk?
Oh no i hope grem is ok..
>she says while rubbing her eyes.
>why must she be so cute?
| "Ah—"
> Aria sees the spaceship herself. Wonder was puzzled in her eyes.
"—Quite a looming adventure it must be having."
| >>195674
No...
Uhh thats the black hawk...
I guess the aliens are giving nova a hard time....
>ellie says still woozy
| >>195676
"Then, it's still a looming adventure, hm?"
> The voice coming out of Aria seems more mature now. It's as if she is showing her 'big sister' side unconsciously.
| >>195677
>the party finally reaches the central area.
>there is a large open gate presumably closed a while back.
>it leads into what looks to be an entertainment district.
| (Golden will be back. If there was a way to summon him in time of need nudge nudge. But for now he enjoys being with the sun)
| >>195681
"An ominous gate, this is definitely something worthy of a show."
> Aria equips her sword just in case; half expecting a boss fight up front.
"—Say, should we call Golden down?"
| >>195677
"Big nysterious doors? Hah, if this isn't a boss I'll... somethinf or other..."
>>196407
>Trapped shrugs
Meh, if need be i'm sure i can figure out a way to bring him back down
| >>196403
"Hmm..i have an absurd idea. Instead of calling down Golden right away, why don't we use him to nuke the boss?"
>Shima tries to explain her idea
"The concept is pretty simple. First, we must find the boss. And then, we'll blow any roof that is in the way, and then we add some markers like magic circles or flares or something that is visible from afar."
"And lastly, tell him to dive down to the boss like a meteor and BAM!"
| >>196493
Thats something that everyone would call crazy...except nova...he would call that fun.
>the party enters the entertainment district.
(can all you roll d20 twice?
One for investigation the other one for luck)
| (Mine is 14 for investigation,
13 for luck..not bad -Shima)
| (2 Invest, 17 luck -trap)
| (4 inv 17 luck.
>morphine)
| >>196504
(7 Investigation, 5 Luck. Hah)
"No, Shima's idea makes perfect sense. I can see it being utilized."
> Aria goes entering the district, expecting absolutely nothing but battles.
| (14 for luck, Unable to investigate -Golden)
| >the party stumbles upon a giant manor, looks to have been once owned by nobility.
>it must have been impressive in its day.
>the door is unlocked.
| >Shima steps inside the manor
"Whoa...what a view. Even though it's already aged, i'm pretty sure that it was pretty lit at its time. Who is the owner of this..i wonder?"
| >Trapped follows, though a LOT more xautious
| >they find a giant ball room.
>the moment they enter an automated massage plays.
Welcome to queen vassilias ball
Please enjoy yourself.
>old speakers play the most beautiful tune.
>it sounded like an entire orchestra played a music box tune
>old automatons come to life
>they are named ancient dancing instructors
>they dance around the ball room as if their creators never left
>they danced with such grace and passion,it was clear whoever made them put their heart into building them.
| "Hey, you two, don't enter random places without caution—"
> When Aria was inside, the automatons were already playing, and dancing. She was disturbed, confused, and impressed — all at the same time.
"—What even is this..."
| >ellie walks in
Whoaaa its so pretty.
| "*Whistle* Wow, you guys got some moves there"
>Shima tries to imitate the dance
| >A thought passes some, If Golden was present, he would have likely bellowed his usually jolly laugh and danced while shining like an obnoxious disco ball blinding people with beams of light. Alas he is not here
