Chevaleresse Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Mitsurugi collects the orbs. She remained quiet as Kino wove her tale. She comes from no small tragedy herself. "I am sorry for your losses. A person who believes they are firmly in the right can do the most utterly vile things." Mitsurugi starts to head toward the nearby set of wooden crates, to collect their orbs. After doing so, she will go to the river in an attempt to collect the other metal crate. She speaks with the dead, and is one of them herself. . . I wonder. . . "Kino-san, may I ask a favor of you?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noir Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) Kino As Kino set the note down on her tale, she noticed her sentient companion collecting orbs from crates as they spoke, raising a brow in curiosity at her current activity. Nonetheless, she agreed with Mitsurugi's opinion of people with wrong, deluded ideals producing the same results. It was then, however, that Mitsurugi had asked a favor of the nun, piquing her curiosity even more. "I would agree with you. Is there something you require of me? I shall aid you in any way I am able, as thanks for your little rescue earlier." Nee-san, you aren't going to be wasting your time helping this girl, are you? We have to play and find new friends! Kindness is repaid, Enma. Something you may try and learn for yourself, once in a while. Kino returned, knowing that she had won the exchange easily, gaining small amusement from her spoiled younger sister's pouting tone.

Zetaark Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Ritsu walks over to the eating area, where she spots a man who's appearance is that of a fisherman. She figured that this was the person the shopkeeper mentioned, but she decided not to come on as too aggressive at the start. "Excuse me sir, is something the matter?"

Aurorix Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Jade O'Duffle (33/38) As the box exploded and the Dark Eco entered his body forming quills Jade became immediately concerned. After seeing what the substance had done to those plants having any amount of it in him is a scary thought. "Damn, I need to watch where I step here or I'll be walking out with more then just burns." He takes out the potion he had been saving from the first world and applies it directly onto the quills. Hopefully it'll stop this infection before it gets bad.

Zetaark Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Ritsu frowned, knowing that his predicament would make convincing him to pay back the shopkeeper a tough sell. Then again, Ritsu figured that she might be able to manage something. "I see. Technically, I was asked by the tool shop owner to inform you that you needed to pay him back. However, given your predicament, that may have to be put on hold slightly. Instead, how about I see about dealing with that fish that's been causing problems for you. We can work out further details afterwards. Is this acceptable?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Henderics Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 --Jade-- (7, 20) They begin to recede, and the skin gets some color back, and Jade feels much better overall, but they don't go away entirely. Health Maxed. --Ritsu-- (19, 3) "Yah! That's Perfect! Strappin one like you, perfect, Let's go!" He stands up and walks out, in the direction of the Beach.

Astrorious Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Gary watches as Jade not only steps on a crate and get natural thorns, but also get nearly attacked by a snake that eventually gets hit by the spikes perturbing from Jade. Luckily, Jade appears to have a potion to help with this. "Well, its times like this I wish I had some potions to help with, or at very least the materials to make them... you going to be okay to keep going Jade?

Zetaark Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Ritsu follows the man to the beach, where she notices the water...bubbling? That didn't sit very well with her.

Hal Henderics Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 --Ritsu-- "No, and the Yellow inn't bubblin up, I need to patch my little boat so we can get out on the water, see if you cannae figure out ouer little mystery."

Zetaark Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Ritsu looks towards the bubbling with a bit of curiosity, noting that the bubbling is moving towards something. What, she couldn't say just yet. Deciding to check it out, Ritsu revved her chainsaw once and began to go into the water. Good thing my equipment isn't hindered by water, Ritsu thinks to herself briefly, before informing the man of her plan. "While you're fixing up your boat, I'm going to take a quick look in the water," Ritsu yells before fully going into the water, activating her magitech based scanners to try and figure out what is happening.

DragonRage Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 "Hm. Interesting."

Aurorix Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Jade O'Duffle (38/38, 6/6 Basic Rounds, Quill Tuffed) "Wasn't enough it seems." Jade grumbled in disappoint. He spits on the ground in anger, the wound still pains him a bit but you couldn't tell that by his expression. He's dealt with bites from coyotes worse than this, hopefully. "I'll be fine, only a flesh wound for now. While I'd love a fine steak now's not the time to be dining, we need to keep moving to the Temple.. I've heard Green Eco can get rid of this stuff quite nicely, and I've heard that Temple has large amounts of it." Jade pulls out his revolver, The Ace of Spades, as he crosses the bridge. He keeps a close eye on the piranhas in the water if they decide to jump out and bite him. The sooner he can get to the temple to cleanse himself of this infection the better.

Hal Henderics Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) --Ritsu+Alexandria-- Ritsu Dives underwater, and sees a Glowing sun flying away from Alexandria as she channels some kind of power into it. At the same time, Alexandria Channels power into the Golden Sun, making it pass through hindrances, suddenly, water cascades into it, and it moves much faster, the water no longer interacting with it, in addition, a yellow plasma ball comes through, floating towards Alexandria. (17, 12) The Giant Sun Carashes into The Bigger Fish, dealing a whopping 59 Damage to it! It swims away, screaming blood and flesh, it disappears into the fog, and is lurking nearby. Getting into the Eco Vent might help her firepower, she thinks, she just needs to deal with this Plasma Orb, she could probably do any number of things to subvert the slow moving projectile.

Aurorix Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Jade O'Duffle (37/38, 5/6 Basic Rounds, Quill Tuffed) I guess Jade used up all his good luck because nothing seems to be going his way lately. Him and Gary can't even cross a simple bridge at this rate. The best course of action right now is to get out of the water and back onto the bridge. Best not to be in the water with a bunch of piranhas. Get out of the water and back onto the bridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetaark Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 "So this is why the lake was bubbling so," Ritsu remarks, seeing Alexandria fighting off what she assumed to be the fish that the fisherman mentioned earlier. She then notices the plasma orb going towards Alexandria. After a bit of thinking, Ritsu comes up with an idea to perhaps use that orb to her advantage. In a quick nod, Ritsu activates her sensors to try and locate the fish. "Alexandria was it? You wouldn't happen to have any way to deflect those orbs would you?"

Zetaark Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Noting that the fish still was around, Ritsu decided to move towards Alexandria and the vent, which appeared to be bubbling with the yellow gunk that the fisherman mentioned before. Still though, the two of them did take a little bit of damage from the explosions, so Ritsu decided to deal with that before it became a problem. Then she could see about closing these vents.

Aurorix Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Jade O'Duffle (36/38, 4/6 Basic Rounds, Quill Tuffed) Jade that is back on solid ground he must quickly get off this horrendous bridge. Once he deals with that once fish that attacked him while getting out he quickly jump rolls out to the other side of the bridge and well as reloading his revolver.

Zetaark Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 "That should help at least a little bit. The fish doesn't seem to be done with us yet, but I think that so long as it doesn't get to the vent it shouldn't be too problematic. If you'll excuse me a moment, someone else who had a bone to pick with this fish is also around, so I'll see if he can do something useful," Ritsu says before teleporting back to the beach side, rather wet all things considered. "I heard you shouting from the water. It seems one of my companions was also dealing with the fish. Currently its rather battered, but not quite dead. There's also a vent down there with the yellow gunk that you mentioned earlier that looks like it could be closed. Any ideas?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
