Dane's attention was caught by the green haired girl that was questioning him, then making him an offer. She was offering him that weapon? The ability to unlock all sorts of things, and it was a good weapon apparently...well, he could just break his way through most things, and he already had a formiddable weapon. Why couldn't she have offered something better, like a slave, some good food (he was starving okay), or somebody that he could manipulate to give into da- ah, and there it was. A reason to 'help' the girl. "What do I say? I say you've got yourself the best damn teacher out there, that's what I say" Dane said, agreeing to help.


"What happened between me and her is none of your business. I'm not going to get into it with you. I haven't told her yet, and I sure as hell am not going to tell you either" Gexln said simply. He looked at the crystals that had failed him in his hand, and gave them to Ananta. "I'm not going to go get myself killed, why is everyone trying to protect me? I don't need protecting. Just give me crystals that actually work, ones that can heal, and I'll be fine" the wanderer of the dark said. He'd never been particularly fond of Ananta, even after she'd helped fight alongside Chaos and Omega, and it showed. The knowledge he had to rely on her to help him made him feel ashamed, but he'd get over that eventually.​

As Xero charged at Dane, the man responded by running at her in return. The scythes clashed, but Dane was far more experienced in battle. He ignored Beuce's comments, instead choosing to focus on the attacks that were coming at him. "My my, pretty and vicious. Where have you been all my six hundred years? Though, this doesn't exactly look like a kitchen" Dane said, before kicking Xero back away from him. "Now, turn around, go find where the food is, and bring me back a sandwich like a good little future slave" he added. Turning his attention back to Gexln, he blocked the attack that came from the Nobody. "You're alright with her becoming my slave, right buddy?" he asked. Not surprisingly, he got no response from the Nobody other than another attack. Swinging his scythe upwards, he parried the attack and disarmed Gexln, causing the blade to land a short distance away from the Wanderer of the Dark.


"Rumours? You want me to name one wrong thing? I trusted Juliet, I still do. If she says Sapphire's lost it, she's lost it. And if you want one wrong thing, how about letting that guy roam around doing whatever the hell he likes?!" Caleb shouted out. 300 years, and Beuce was still as frustrating as ever. At least he wasn't cracking too many jokes this time.

"HEY!" Dane exclaimed, offended. He held up a finger like he was about to protest, opened his mouth to retort, but nothing came. After a moment, he put down the finger. "Actually, he kind of has a point. Your goddess is useless. Why do we even need a hero to bring her down?" he asked.

Well, things weren't looking too good. Himself and Dane were good fighters, but Caleb had his doubts they could pull ahead and win the battle. It was very dangerous, and the longer it went on the more likely it was the numbers would defeat him. As for Xross, well he seemed to be holding his own quite well, but how long would that last? Turning to look at Dane, he called out. "We have to get out of here"

"You mean retreat? Not happening. Look at how easy I'm dealing with them!"
"You're an idiot! They've got the numbers"
"Who cares? We have me!"

Caleb sighed. Nothing he said he would get through to Dane, at least nothing that he would usually say. He had to try something different. "We've checked this world, there's no sign of the hero. They're somewhere else, and I intend to find them. They've probably got a heap of things protecting the hero from intruders, powerful things that a god themself would have trouble with, so the sooner we go the better" Caleb stated. The moment he had mentioned things protecting the hero, he saw Dane's eyes light up. He really does see murder as a game, Caleb thought to himself.

"Well why didn't you say so? What's taking you so long?" the shadow reaper asked as he opened a dark corridor.

Turning to look towards the door that Xander was standing in front of, Caleb called out to him. "Xander! Make sure Audrey's safe!" he shouted. He hated leaving Audrey behind, but Xander seemed to have the right morals, and he'd proven his worth in combat so hopefully things would be okay. Gritting his teeth, Caleb entered the dark corridor and hoped for the best.


Audrey sat down with a frown on her face. She didn't like this Xander guy. He seemed nice but he wasn't even trying to help Caleb, or at least he wasn't in her mind. "You're a buttface" she said, poking her tongue out at him and hitting his leg once more. "Just because you're scared doesn't mean you have to leave people to fight alone. That's something my dad taught me, the dad that you're letting fight all by himself" the girl insulted. She turned around and sat nearby Alessia. Children's mentality took hold of her, and the idea of a story was one that thrilled her enough to distract her. "I love stories! Tell me a good one!" she exclaimed.



"It's called respawning. I ain't gonna stay dead, got like a sixty second timer before I come back. What, you new around here? Keep your stupid light crap, that stuff's for pussies. And I ain't no pussy. Light is healing and all that jazz, do I look like a support to you? Supports don't get kills, why the hell would I wanna be that? You're real stupid, you know that?" Hunter asked. He wasn't willing to do anything other than that, because that would require effort, and since when did he put a lot of effort into things?


Gexln lowered his blade as Dane and Caleb left. There was only one opponent left, but surely he wouldn't try to fight them all? Stratos and Beuce seemed to have him handled anyway. "Xero...you shouldn't have come here. It's dangerous, but I was fine. I don't need saving, and I don't need my wife to fight my battles for me" Gexln stated. He turned and opened a dark corridor leading to Crystallis. "That man was the man that killed my homeworld, and turned me into what I am today. He took the lives of everyone I knew and cared about, don't let yourself become another on that list" he said grimly, stepping through the corridor and emerging in Crystallis. "HEY, ANANTA, IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, YOUR DAMNED CRYSTALS ARE BROKEN!" he shouted, simply yelling out as loud as he could in the hopes Ananta would hear him.​

Oscar decided to ignore Samuel's question about whether or not he said something. He didn't like lying to his little brother, but he didn't like talking about his feelings to others either. It was something he'd never liked, and it made himself feel very uncomfortable when he did so. The second question, however, was easier for him to answer. Although, it still wasn't an easy one to respond to. What was an older brother to tell his younger sibling? 'Oh yeah, we'll probably be running forever. Unless I kill the pursuers, but then more will be after us, so yeah endless running, I hope you've kept in shape'? Oscar was a naturally serious person as well as a protective older brother, and yet here he was taking Samuel with him from place to place, putting him in arguably more danger than he would be normally.

"We won't be running forever, but we'll have to keep on the move all the same" he replied. He didn't like it, but he didn't have to. So long as it kept him safe, that was all that mattered; Oscar could protect himself. "I'd say a few weeks tops, then everything will blow over. For now, just relax and take it easy. Pretty sure we lost them between here and Balmar, it'll take them weeks to find us" the boy added, disliking the foul taste his words left in his mouth after speaking. While he may have lost their pursuers, they were skilled at tracking people, and they would surely find them soon.

A loud knock on the door was heard, followed by a rough voice yelling to open up and give themselves up quietly. Yeah, because so far I've been so willing to co-operate, Oscar thought to himself. He stood up and grabbed his sword, the only thing he tended to carry with him from place to place. "Or hours. Damn they're persistent. Not the first time we've been caught though. You ready to get out of here and make some trackers look stupid?" Oscar asked, his wording making it seem like it was a joke but his tone deadly serious.


As Vex's drink arrived, he accepted it and paid for it once again, before glancing in Xera's direction. "As long as my wallet holds up, the bartender keeps pouring the drinks, and my patience holds itself together. Probably won't be long though, I hate sitting still" Vex responded. He stopped drinking and placed his mug on the bar in front of him. Turning to look at Precious, he found himself smirking a little bit. A tough guy, thinking he was intimidating him? Damn, he hadn't had one of those in a while. "If I was startin' some kinda rebellion, I wouldn't just go around shouting it out, would I? Didn't you hear what I told the bartender? I don't know nothin' about a rebellion. Now, are you going to keep trying to stir up trouble and make me spill my drink, or will I finally get a day without one of you assholes accusing me of some huge conspiracy?" Vex asked, his patience thinning already. ​

All 3 of my characters are ready.

Don't listen to this if you value your hearing. I mean it.

After the Ezekiel incident had been taken care of, Caleb had made his way back to the guild hall. The first thing he noticed when he got back was that the area was unusually hot. What was causing it to be so warm? Curiousity got the better of the man, and soon enough he found himself trying to figure out where the heat source was. He went from room to room, always making sure to knock, before eventually he came to what he believed to be the source of it. Entering the room slowly but cautiously, he was surprised to see a little girl there. Was she the reason things were so warm? In any case, she looked very uncomfortable, almost...lost? Being the kind man he was, Caleb decided to try and help, and if it turned out she wasn't the source of the heat, he would continue looking after. "Hello, are you one of the new members of this guild? My name's Caleb Stitem and forgive me for asking, but is everything alright? You look a little upset" Caleb asked, not quite sure how to ask.

Gaius hadn't gone back to the guild hall like many of the others. He'd continued walking right past it. The Ezekiel incident had gotten him far too worked up, and while he had calmed down significantly on the walk back, he didn't like the fact he had gotten so worked up. He needed to go somewhere to calm down and relax, and he knew exactly where he was going to go.​

He came to a stop on top of a small hill. Physically, it wasn't anything special. It had a few rocks on it, some near-dead grass, a single, dead tree and that was pretty much it, but emotionally it was a place Gaius visited often. This hill had emotional ties to Gaius, it was very important to him not because of the way it looked, but the memories it related to. It was this place that a sad boy had gone to be vent. A lonely little boy had found a place to escape from everything, to relax, and he had encountered another sad child, just a couple of years younger than himself who had gone there to do the same thing. It was there that a young Gaius Ryan had made his first friend.

Spoiler

A young boy hung his head out of sadness. He didn't look up to where he was going for he didn't care, the child just wanted to get away. His father was drunk as usual; he was always drinking, always taking out his frustration with life on his wife and his only child. Gaius had bruises on his legs and one of his arms to show for it, but thankfully he had gotten out before they got too severe. He had run faster than he had in a long time with the intention of simply escaping, finding a place to just relax. A hill was ahead, he knew. It was nothing special really, but his legs were tired and he wanted to sit down, so it would do.

Upon getting closer to the hill, he noticed that he wasn't alone. There was a little girl there that looked to be about his age, sitting there looking very sad indeed. Despite being very sad himself, Gaius wasn't the kind of boy to see someone in such sorrow and not at least try to help. So, he decided to say hi. The girl barely looked up at him, but when their eyes connected the red-headed child knew right away; this girl was strong. He could see in her eyes that she was hurting deeply, that she wanted to simply break down and cry, but she wasn't doing it. Why not?

He asked her what was wrong, and she simply responded with "nothing". Time for another approach then. He asked her what her name was, and after a little bit of hesitation, the girl answered with "Britney Bale". He introduced himself, and then made her a bet. He told her if he could make her laugh she would have to tell him what was wrong. Britney told him that she didn't think anything the boy did would make her laugh, so he said that there was really nothing to lose, to which she responded with by accepting.

He tried all sorts of things. He tried to tell jokes, but he couldn't come up with any really good ones, so that didn't work very well. He tried telling her a story he found funny, but no laughter once again. Gaius was out of ideas; damn it was hard trying to make somebody laugh when you didn't feel like laughing yourself. And so he came to another idea. He began climbing up the tree, and the girl shuffled around so she could watch. The boy made it to the first branch, and started walking along it, balancing ever so carefully. If he could keep his balance, maybe the girl would be impressed and be more likely to talk to him. Kid logic. It may have worked, but halfway along he started losing his balance. After wobbling around for a bit, he finally lost his balance completely and fell to the ground with a light thud.

"Well, I guess that's why they call the season Fall" the boy said, laughing at the end of his terrible joke. The girl didn't laugh still, but he did see something he hadn't expected; a smile. Getting up, he said sorry for not being able to make her laugh, and that she won, but she wouldn't have it. He'd made her smile, and that was enough. So the two sat together for a while, simply talking to each other. She had been very upset after her father had physically hurt her, and Gaius' face was one of pure shock. He told her about why he was upset, for mostly the same reason as her, and that was the moment things changed between them. In their darkest moments, they had both found a friend they could truly rely on, truly relate to.

They'd spent the rest of the day talking, until finally the sun had began to set. Each child said goodbye, and then the joy that had experienced turned back into sadness as they realized that not only were they returning to their homes, but they were leaving behind the one friend that they had.

Gaius had spent the next few weeks returning to that same hill every day, and waiting for several hours, but to no avail. He hadn't seen Britney since that one day on the hill, all he had left were the memories. The rumours spoke of her leaving town, moving somewhere else, but he'd never found out where. He still went to that hill from time to time though when he needed to get away from everything. It wasn't so much the location, but the joyful memory he had. He was very close with both Caleb and Skadi, but neither of them had really ever understood why Gaius was the way he was, but he just knew that she would.

Gaius let out a sigh. He felt a bit better after spending a good hour there, but it was time he returned. He began walking back towards the guild hall, not quite ready to return but feeling like he should. The moment he arrived there, he saw that everyone was back. Doing his best to force a smile, he wandered inside.

"Alright, so when are we gonna start another mission? I'm ready to kick some more ass" the fire mage said, eager as ever to move on from his past.​

Buying and equipping that Fairy Ring for Hunter. Would also appreciate a picture of what it looks like.

I'd like to try Lefou's lines, please.

Damn, Erza had been talked up so much before, why was she this crap? "And here I thought she was half decent" Hunter taunted, before sending a blast of ice at the soulless monster.

Hunter used Freeze!​

I am equipping the Ability "Intellectual Genius", which can only be acquired after finding the one way to balance PVP combat. I believe it gives me +65 to my magic stat, and increases my MP by 7. What? That isn't an ability? Damn. I guess I'll just settle for my stats being as they are currently.

So, Erza's grand counter attack was to...swap stances and use the thing that protected her from magical attacks. Well, clearly she hadn't thought things out very well. The only one that had any magical capability in Hunter's mind was out of MP! So, he stabbed her again with his claws, because screw giving a decent post.

Hunter attacked!​

Hunter stood facing Erza. Alkes injured, Erza doing a strategic move and obviously using something that would screw over their next attack, and fatigue setting in. It wasn't the best of situations to be in, but it was far from the worst. Hunter would not let it get to the worst. "Erza Knightwalker, you were a fool to think that challenging us would work! We are an undefeatable team, the godliest of gods, and the most overpowered group you will ever lay eyes upon!" he shouted. Leaping into the air, he put his palms together as he concentrated all his remaining magical energy into this one, final attack. "But you will not live to regret it!" he cried, landing in front of Erza and releasing his concentrated energy at once.​

And causing absolutely nothing to happen.

Opening his eyes, Hunter looked forward to see that Erza was unharmed. Right, MP was a thing. Well, that sucked. "And you were stupid enough to think I would go for the obvious magical attack once more! I just wanted to make you think that's what I was going to do! What I really wanted to do was this!" he shouted, attempting to release another blast of arcane energy. Nothing happened once more. Well, apparently he couldn't will himself to get more MP, that was new. So, acting quickly he lunged forward with his claws ready to kill.


Hunter attacked!​

You posted in FT addressing Gaius, but I wasn't actually going to have him go back to the guild right away. I'm gonna write a post tomorrow where...

Glen was shocked at the transformation that Beuce had undergone. His first thought was that Beuce had turned into a heartless, but once the transformation was over it was evident that he was still the same Beuce on the inside. On the outside though, he had just turned into a badass nuke everything spellcaster. He wasn't sure what to think about the whole situation, so he figured he would just come to a decision later. Sober Glen could deal with that. It was then that several plants burst into flames and died. Beuce had saved him....wait...no, Beuce had stolen his kills! "OI! THOSE WERE MINE TO TAKE!" the keyblade wielder shouted, before diving at another one of the heartless.

A few swings of the keyblade later and the plant was dead. Glen wasn't done just yet though. There was still the issue of the piece. That red headed mage could claim the kills, he could claim an awesome new form, but the piece would not be his. "You might've changed forms, but you're still thick as bricks!" Glen called out, with a slight laugh at the end of it as he turned his attention to the plant that had the piece. Dashing over to the heartless, he stabbed his blade into the bottom of the heartless. Then, utilising the strength that his Soldier job gave him, he uprooted the creature, knocking it into the air. Muttering a few words, he then hurled a fira after it, before leaping up into the air and somersaulting and using the momentum to slam the blade into the heartless, hitting it out of the air and slamming it into the ground.

The second both of them hit the ground, the heartless vanished into vapour immediately whilst Glen landed nimbly on his feet; an impressive trick to be sure given how much alcohol he had flowing around inside of him. He grabbed the piece off the ground quickly, but noticed that he was surrounded by three of the plants. There wasn't much of a way out, and Glen only had one hand. With as much strength as he could muster, he thrusted his blade into the plant in front of him, taking that out immediately, before hitting the one to his right with the piece itself, and continuing the attack with a quick sword strike. Slowly, he turned around to look at the last remaining plant. "You know, I never liked gardening" he said with a chuckle, before diving towards the heartless. With a quick one-two combo, he used his Cross Slash ability and killed the poor creature. As he breathed a sigh of relief, more heartless appeared around him, exiting out of strange black portals. I wonder if we could use those things too he thought to himself.

However, there was no time to wonder about it. Heartless were spawning quicker and quicker by the second. "Uh...guys, I think they want the piece pretty bad!" he shouted out, not willing to turn around in case he got himself out of position and was ganked. Being their team's first death would surely result in multiple reports, and nobody wanted that.

As Alkes took the hit, Hunter realized he had medicine. There he stood in the midst of battle with a slightly confused look on his face. Was he to save an ally, or save the carry? He could heal Alkes, but then not only would Erza probably bs something and KO him again, but her aggression would then be turned to Hunter, which was a terrible idea because thus far he seemed to be the carry. "Alkes, if you go down, I'm afraid I don't have any medicine, but I'm sure Zephine would be more than happy to give CPR" he stated, making his decision as he casually slipped the herbs back into his pocket and launched an offensive ice blast attack once more.

Hunter used Freeze!​

Hunter was considering going into AFK mode once more, he wasn't sure he wanted to put in the effort to win this boss fight. I mean, if he waited long enough he'd be skipped and then his minions (yes that's what they are to him now) would take care of things. And then he had a realization: If he posted fast enough, the other world would never catch up in time. Then he could gloat and call them slow, and make himself seem better. An ego boost. He needed one of those, he could feel the tiniest bit of confidence gone from him, or maybe that was just him passing wind, either way it probably wasn't good, so he'd have to fix that.

"Stand aside random NPC #64, when did you arrive here? In either case, I'll show you how a real sorcerer does things" he boomed, before burning through another point of MP and firing off a mighty explosion that would have destroyed everything had Myst allowed it, but he has forbidden that from happening. The Rules had spoken. And so, it was more like a tiny, warm irritation that did minor damage.

THE ALMIGHTY FLARE​

Hunter stood back and prepared to attack Erza. He'd been AFK and really couldn't be bothered to go back through and read each post in detail, but he had picked up on what was clearly the most important thing in any of them.​

\o

You'd better believe he high fived the shit out of Zephine's hand. There was never a high five that could even compare. By making physical contact, he turned around and fired a beam of ice at Erza, utilizing the power of friendship to defeat the inferior foe that thought she could scratch them.
Hunter used Freeze!​

Hey, look what I found!

I'll update the accepted characters tomorrow, sorry again for being so slack with this one.
