Tsurugi - June 13, 2003 05:20 PM (GMT)
Those beautiful golden rings appear, the yet cease to amaze him. The rings slide down to the ground a body appearing briefly in the distance to viewers. In a kneeled position a man appears, his lance sticking up tucked inbetween his arm and knee. Tsurugi opens his eyes and slowly stands. His clothes brand new and not stained with the blood from yesterday. Though in real life the pain still was there. Tsurugi began to walk foot stepping foward and then followed by the bottom of his lance as he headed down the small steps. He walked to his usual favorite spot on the bridge leaning against the railing with his back on it looking out as the people ran back and forth. Tsurugi was a little bit more happy then he was yesterday but still upset from what happened. Though his new equipment he got was quite rewarding when he bought them and can't wait to try them out. This time Tsurugi doesn't feel like going out alone. He leans back against the railing a little more waiting to see if anyone would like to go on an adventure with him.
I'm getting a bad feeling about all of this...Why do I have to be targeted now..? I know I'm not the only one..
Tsurugi let out a sigh and crossed his arms keeping his lance leaned to his side as he leaned back more into the railing though making sure not to fall in. He just watched some more as people ran back and forth with giant smiles on there face.
"Atleast some people are happy..."

Falcon enters Mac Anu, still marveling over the detail put into it, but focused enough not to slow down as he heads over to the item shop and stocks up on what he needs, then looks around for potential groups. He notices Tsurugi on the railing and slightly raises an eyebrow, thinking it over before heading over to talk to him. "Hey, you mind if I join you? Just got back from a quest, need to take a breather before heading back out." He sets his lance next to Tsurugi's and leans on the railing, glancing at the bustling trade and everyone in a rush to go on quests. "This game really has some nice scenery when you don't have to worry about enemies" Falcon looks at the sky and watches a single cloud pass, almost forgetting it's a game. After a few seconds, he snapped out of it and looked back to Tsurugi. "You got any quests planned? I don't have anything yet, was looking for a partner before heading out."
Tsurugi - June 14, 2003 01:25 AM (GMT)
Tsurugi smiled finally looking over at the man. Everything the man had said intrigued him. The scenery, everything, this game was outstanding. Although too deep at the same time. He wonders if this person next to him has any encounters like himself. He leans up a little more returning to his composure watching all the little ones play and joke laughing as the dart back and forth.
"Actually I wouldn't mind having someone come along with me."
Tsurugi lowers his head looking to the wood from the bridge underneath. He looks back over to the man and flashes another warm smile.
"How about we rest here and wait for somone else...If nothing develops we'll go out on our own."
Tsurugi was hoping to get a larger party this time. He wanted to go to a higher level field but then forgot something very important to ask.
"You do know I plan on going to a high level field..maybe around level 8 or so? You don't mind do you?"
Tsurugi almost bursted out laughing his head shaking. He felt so ashamed of his rudeness. He can't believe this whole time he was setting up this whole adventure with this man he never once told him his name.
"Sorry for my rudeness..my names Tsurugi."
Tsurugi lowered his head once more in disbelief on how he forgot to introduce himself.
GothFalcon - June 14, 2003 05:22 AM (GMT)
"I'm Falcon, and lvl 8 fields don't bother me much lol, my last field was that same lvl, actually, but I did have a lvl 12 character with me." He smiles warmly and continues to watch the others pass by, wondering in the back of his mind where they are really from and what they are like outside The World. After a few minutes, he turns around and stares into the water, immersed in his thoughts, deciding to leave the rest of the group to Tsurugi and just wait till they were about to leave.
Tsurugi - June 15, 2003 06:21 AM (GMT)
Tsurugi stands up fully slowly from leaning on the bridge railing. He grips his lance in his right hand and slams the bottom on the ground a few times. He looks over at Goth and gives a small nod.
"I don't think anyone else will be joining us, It's just you and me."
Tsurugi thought hard of the keywords he was going to use so that his new magic spells would be somewhat effective and not totally useless. He motions his hand for Goth and he slowly walks towards the direction of the Chaos Gate. Step for step followed by the bottom of his lance turning his head back slightly watching as Goth slowly followed behind him almost doing exactly the same.
"This should be lots of fun don't you think?"
Tsurugi smiled and stopped as they reached the Chaos Gate, he stopped sort of startled as a random person logged in and appeared almost ontop of him. He stepped back allowing the person to pass and then stood firmly once more.
"Now what were those words...I just had them awhile ago...too much thinking blocks away other stuff."
Tsurugi shakes his head looking at Goth almost sympathetically. He then lifted his head up more and leaned somewhat on his lance.
"Hold up Goth I wrote them down let me zone out for a second and run to get the paper."
Just the Tsurugi just stays silent and still against his lance as he leaned there against his lance in real life searching for the crumbled piece of paper.
glare - June 15, 2003 02:38 PM (GMT)
All the sudden, Tsurugi and Goth Falcon see Glare appear to join the fray. (im joining is this ok?)
Tsurugi - June 15, 2003 08:34 PM (GMT)
Tsurugi looks up finally from his frozen glare as he found the piece of paper in real life. He then notices another person there, he tilts his head a little bit this person being Glare. He looks at Goth and gives a curious look.
"He want to know if he can come.." Goth says.
Tsurugi looks down sadly and then lifts his head shaking it softly.
"Sorry...I was waiting for somone but he can't make it...and I've already declared us bound to this adventure I'd kind of like it to be me and Goth."
Tsurugi lets out a sympathetic sigh and motions for Goth to come over seeing as he found the Keywords on the piece of paper. It was on the ground with the rest of the stuff.
"Alright Goth...here it is...and sorry again maybe next time."
Tsurugi and Goth both nod grabbing there weapons and stand by the Chaos Gate. Tsurugi closes his eyes and calls out the key words.
"Boundless Eternal Spiral" Tsurugi kept his eyes closed as he said this.
Slowly those three golden rings appeared above his head and dropped down his body slowly. As the rings passed over his head it faded slowly the rings dropping to his feet eventually his whole body gone. As he opened his eyes the rings dropped from his head allowing him to appear in the playing field. He looked around and waiting for Goth. He turned his head when he saw the beginning of the rings about to appear and gate in Goth. He waits patiently just standing there with a expressionless face on him.
glare - June 15, 2003 10:38 PM (GMT)
glare understands.... then leaves
Tsurugi - June 16, 2003 05:04 AM (GMT)
((OOC:Sorry Goth but it's been about two days...I'd like to finish with you but I need the experience soon. Sorry once again I'll just write you out.))
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tsurugi stands there and continues to wait for Goth. After about a couple of minutes he yawns. Instantly a beep is heard and he realizes he's got new mail. In real life Marc takes off the visor his character motionless as he checks the mail. He sees that the mail is from Goth. He reads intentivly.
Tsurugi...sorry but I'm going to be busy...that's why I didn't show up. Go on without me we'll finish up some other time.
Marc continues to read and then stops, he shrugs it off and figures he'll go on his own once more. Marc exits out of the flashmail and puts back on the visor. Instantly in the game Tsurugi begins to move again. He looks around at the field and smiles knowing it's two levels higher then him so he's going to have to be careful.
"Here I go again..."
Tsurugi begins to run off in the direction of the dungeon. His footsteps heavy filled with long strides as he maks it around some unknown structures. Tsurugi comes to a stop when he sees a monster portal. Tsurugi continues to run forgeting this is a higher level field and he can't just run by and take out whatever drops. Instantly the ring begins to spin and slowly fades away in an akward noise. Tsurugi watches as two goblin magicians fall. Tsurugi shakes his head lifting his lance hoping to run by and take out both in one final slash. Instantly the goblin begins to glow and Tsurugi and frozen and can't move. He looks down looking at the reddish symbol appear from under his feet.
"What the..?"
Up to this point Tsurugi has never been caught in a magical attack. Tsurugi watches in horror as the goblin points out his wand mumbling something and 3 giant flame rocks fall from the sky. One misses him barely but the other two hit. Causing some damage but not enough to really hurt him. As the bound is broken from around him he immediately pushes foward making sure to attack before the creature does it again. He lifts his lance immediately liftinng it to hit the one on the left. Though he sees the other one starting to chant on something.
"Oh no you don't..."
Tsurugi stops infront of them and a small aura forms around his leges and then upwards and out as he shouts out.."Double Sweep!"
He cocks back his lance slashing across downwards hitting one of them backwards, and before the other could summon a spell Tsurugi's lance was already heading back the other way for the second attack. It connects with the goblin on the right and it immediately falls back as well. He watches as they both squirm screeching as they slowly fade away. Tsurugi lowers his head and shakes it off continuing to run off in the direction of the dungeon once more.
Tsurugi - June 16, 2003 05:47 AM (GMT)
Tsurugi doesn't even know if he will make it in this field level and just plans on making it to the dungeon. He runs a little bit faster seeing the large structure in the distance. As he approaches there was a monster portal to the side of the entrance. Tsurugi stops and then bends his knees beginning to sprint this time. His arms sway back and forth as he runs and the portal slowly begins to spin and Tsurugi sprints past it just as some monsters drop from it. Tsurugi doesn't even both to see what they are as he dashes inside of the dungeon where they can't get him. once inside he comes to a stop hunching over leaning on his lance.
"Hmm...so much...uh..for that." He says as he breathes heavily.
Tsurugi slowly stands himself up and walks this time deciding to take it easy for the time being. He immediately walks straight through the corridor his eyes closed even though he wouldn't be able to see anyways. As he opens his eyes he sees the light now in another main room with two paths. One to the left and one to the right. He looks both ways and turns to the left finding the left has never failed him that much. He headed towards the left and came to a giant dead end. He lowered his head just before catching glimpse of a monster portal slowly beginning to sway from agitation. Before Tsurugi could turn the place was sealed and he had no choice. He walked towards the portal as it disappeared and released two more goblin magicians. He watched in horror as they danced around and he immediately ran to them and began to slash his lance. Each one just dancing away from the blow. Tsurugi had totally forgotten about his new abilities. He knew these magicians were fire tolerant so he needed something effective against fire. He tried effortlessly to remember the name of it. Tsurugi then was distracted as they began to glow red.
"Oh no!..." Tsurugi held up his lance calling out the first thing that came to his mind.
"Rai Rom!" Tsurugi had a yellow aura around his body that shot up to his lance as he held it upwards.
All of a sudden a tornadoe emerges from the ground, it spins in horror around the two goblins stopping them before there attacks. Lightning hit the tornadoe causing it to glow somewhat yellow causing some damage but not to an extent. He tried effortlessly to remember the other one. It finally hit him. Tsurugi held up his lance and called out.
"Rue Kruz" A blue aura came off this time.
A sudden rush of water formed and swirled into a herendous blow hitting both goblins. It caused an critcal element attack. They both were blow back and disappeared before even hitting the ground. The attack was overkill on them both. Tsurugi smiled and let out a small sigh from relief hearing the path behind him open up once more.
"So much for the left always being the best..."
Tsurugi headed back towards the other room and upon re-arriving he headed towards the right. He walked down the small path coming out to a single area room with a path that lead downwards. He immediately headed down silently always finding some sort of serene when he's by himself and it's quiet.
GothFalcon - June 16, 2003 06:24 AM (GMT)
Matt grumbles as he hangs up the phone and thinks "Why did work have to call now of all times?" He closes out his files from work and reopens The World, hoping that Tsurugi isn't too mad.
Falcon emerges onto the field and immediately uses a Speed Charm, checking the map for the dungeon and rushing there, agitated that he has to run from monsters. He reaches the first floor and sees that it's empty, takes the left fork, then realizes that it's a dead end, and runs to the stairs and down to find Tsurugi just about to enter the next room. "Hey, wait up!" Falcon rushes up to Tsurugi and leans on his lance, panting. "Glad I caught you, you might need this if you want to survive" Falcon uses a Speed Charm on Tsurugi and motions for them to head to the next room where they run into a portal that opens to reveal a Hob Goblin and a Shield Man.
Falcon points to the Shield Man "That's weak to lightning, the other one's weak to wood, I've got wood" Falcon immediately casts Juk Rom, sending the Goblin into the air, then using his enhanced speed, he rushes up and stabs it twice before it falls to the ground. He follows up with a Triple Doom, hurting it more, before stabbing it again to finish it, although he is hit during that attack. Meanwhile, Tsurugi casts Ria Rom on the Shield Man, stunning and hurting it. While it's still stunned, he rushes around it and hits it from behind with his spear a few times. He then backs up as it prepares to attack, quickly leaping forward with another stab, spinning out of it into Double Sweep, finishing the monster. Falcon waits for some SP to recover, then heals Tsurugi's wounds from earlier and his own recent wounds with Repth. They continue on to the next room.
Tsurugi - June 16, 2003 03:02 PM (GMT)
Tsurugi never had the chance to speak but finally got a chance as they were heading down the path.
"Goth I didn't think you were going to make it.."
Tsurugi kept walking as they headed down, they both came out into a large room with one path heading infront of them and one of them heading to the left. Tsurugi also notices the Monster Portal in the middle of the room. Tsurugi slowly walks to it Goth following behind him. The portal slowly starts to spin.
"Well I'm glad you came Goth cause.." He was interupted as two more shiled men appeared followed by the goblin magician.
"You take the shields real quick, I'll prevent the goblin from casting anything." As Tsurugi said that they both spilt up.
Tsurugi held up his lance and the aura came off his body once more. Tsurugi pointed the lace somewhat in the general direction of the goblin watching as it was about to start casting a spell.
"Rue Kruz" Tsurugi calls out.
A sudden flash of water swirled and collided with the goblin. Yet another element hit as the Goblin slammed back into the wall slowly falling to the ground and it's data pixalating and disappearing out of sight. Tsurugi turned watching Goth go at the Shield Man. He looked around for the other one noticing it was coming up behind Goth as it was occupied. He knew he had the speed charm and he ran at the shield almost ramming it with it's shoulder, Goth moved to the side both shields colliding into each other. Tsurugi held back his hand for Goth to stand back for a second as he held up his lance.
"Rai Rom" He called out the yellow aura swelling off.
The large tornadoe hit both shield as it swirled around taking them in. Lightning hitting inside of the tornadoe hitting the shield men as it deals to elemental hits to them. Before the tornadoe subsides they both pixalate and disappear. The tornadoe fails down and he looks to Goth.
"I was going to say..it was good you came cause it would of been harder on me to fight all the monsters in it." Tsurugi nodded.
Goth replied.."Well I'm just glad I caught up to you in time."
Tsurugi pointed to the path to the left and hoped it wouldn't steer him wrong this time. They both had speed charms on and both instantly dashed down the path to the right. As they came out it was a lonely small room with a pathway leading down. Tsurugi is glad his senses didn't fail him this time. They both dashed quickly down the long steps there speed incredibly fast though they both kept up with each other.
GothFalcon - June 16, 2003 06:22 PM (GMT)
Falcon rushes to the next room, glancing around as he enters. He sees the portal about to open, but other than that there's a couple jars and a single door. The portal opens revealing a Scorpion Tank, looming in the small room.
Falcon motions for Tsurugi to keep it distracted while he gets behind it. Tsurugi runs up and stabs the tank, then rolls to the side as it's tail comes crashing down. Falcon slips around it and stabs it in it's back with Triple Doom. The tank starts to turn to attack Falcon, seeing the idea, Tsurugi hits it with Double Sweep, making it turn back. Falcon hits it again with Triple Doom, watching it's tail start to droop as it's health drops. Tsurugi hits it again with Double Sweep, finishing it off.
Falcon smiles "we make a good team, we should go on another quest sometime" He breaks open a couple of the jars and gets nothing, but Tsurugi gets a Health Drink from one. Falcon walks through the door to the next room.
Tsurugi - June 17, 2003 12:29 AM (GMT)
Following behind Goth into the other room he notices it only has one path down. He looks around at the differant surrounding and figures they're getting close to the Gott Statue.
"We're getting close to the Gott Statue.." Goth says.
Tsurugi nodded already had figuring this out and seeing he had just a little bit more time for the speed charm and motioned for Goth to follow and bent his knees, they both took off sprinting at an incredible to the path in front of them. In a matter of seconds they were entering and speeding downwards to the other area. Everything pitch black Tsurugi remembering last time he was in a dark area with the Neko. He shakes it off and keeps pushing foward beginning to slowly down just making it into the other room as the speed charms slowly wear off. Tsurugi looks at Goth noticing his wore off too, they both looked around and had never saw the path behind them close up. Instantly the sound of a monster portal dropping some creatures was heard. They both look and notice the two goblin magicians and one odd look crab appear. Goth and Tsurugi both took off running at them when instantly they were both stopped in there tracks. Tsurugi looked down noticing the red glow and symbol appear under there feet. Tsurugi clenches his fist feeling the rocks fall from the sky and crash on both him and Goth. All three hit his body and only one hits Goth.
"Son of a...." Tsurugi breaks from the hold already watching Goth dash at the Goblin Magician.
"Watch your health Goth..they are alot stronger.." Tsurugi calls out to him.
"I got it..." Goth says as he uses repth on himself healing his wounds and begins to attack the Goblin.
Tsurugi tossed up the health drink and then downed his feeling his health return to him as he runs to the other goblin slashing back and forth at it taking it out in a series of a 4 hit combo. Looking over watching Goth use Triple Doom, his spear raising up and slashing hard downwards and then hard sideways and then spins his body spining his whole spear slashing across the goblin knocking it into the wall its body breaking apart and disappearing.
"Nice work Goth...Watch out for the crab!" Tsurugi yells out pointing it out.
The crab goes to attack Goth falling back barely dodging the blow. Tsurugi runs at Goth quickly calling out.
"Hold out your hands..."
Tsurugi watches barely in time as Goth holds his hands together his eyes sort of wondering what Tsurugi is going to be doing. Tsurugi jumps up and puts one foot on Goth's hands. Goth knows now and them both having incredible team work as he pushes up springing Tsurugi into the air. Tsurugi tucks in his body and curls doing a small flip as he holds out his lance piercing the crab like creature in it's head.
"Now attack Goth!" Tsurugi yells.
Tsurugi keeps himself balanced on the end of his lance keeping it thrusted into the creatures head. He moves his legs back and forth dodging the crabs snippers as it tries to attack keeping it distracted. He hears Goth call out his usual attack and hears a couple of slashes. Instantly the crab falls to it's belly and disappears Tsurugi's body slipping down his lance piercing the ground having no creature to keep it pierced into. Tsurugi pushes to his feet and pulls the lance from the ground. He looked to Goth and nodded his head of approval.
"Great team work Goth...great team work.." Tsurugi was glad he understood most of what he was doing so he didn't mess up the attack.
"Thanks...I'm just glad we took out these hard monsters." Goth replies.
"Yeah me too..." Tsurugi twirls his lance and holds it behind his elbow as he begins to walk.
Goth follows behind Tsurugi as they head down the lengten walkway to the path at the other end. Walking this time, deciding to take it easy, he brought his lance back around using it as a walking stick for now. Tsurugi feels they are getting closer to the end and knows Goth feels the same way.
Tsurugi - June 19, 2003 11:52 PM (GMT)
Tsurugi and Goth come to a single room that seems to be rather cramped. Tsurugi motions for Goth to move slightly infront of him as they began to walk. They both saw the pathway to the right and could only follow behind now not along side due to the narrowness. Tsurugi and Goth continue to walk untill coming out on the other end. Tsurugi's eyes scan around before noticing the large statue floating in the middle. That golden ring swirling around it. It still puzzled Tsurugi how the ring around the Gott Statue matched the one that surrounded the Chaos Gates and the ones that transported them.
"There's the Gott Statue." Goth says pointing out his finger to it.
Tsurugi nodded had already noticing it and looked back to Goth with a quisitive look on his face.
"You go ahead and open it I'll wait here..." Goth said.
Tsurugi turned and faced the Gott Statue walking infront of it slowly. He put his hand on the small hedge infront of it. His hand outlining a small shape as it lit up and slowly the Gott Statue let out a rumble and the ring around it faded away slowly as if it was going to drop a monster like the monster portals. This Gott Statue resembled a akward looking creature with a narrow head, each one looking differant. The statue shook slowly and toppled falling over and hitting the ground to the bottom. Tsurugi motioned for Goth to come over and they both stand there. They both give a reassuring smile that they made it through the high level field and that they both actually collected some items from the Gott Statue.
((OOC:Sorry about this..I know I skipped Goth's post but he doesn't come on much he tells me cause of personal reasons and I need this to end so I can go off on another quest..so sorry again. This adventure is over now..thank you.))
