Thread: A New Life: Cataclysm || ƒeral x Denna

Celes continued her one-sided conversation. She knew exactly which conversations bored Raine, and which stimulated her into conversation. Celes had four hours to wait until A New Life was back up, and she intended to use her time to the utmost. She continued her rambling, focusing on topics Raine had no interest in, lulling her into a pleasant sleep. And while she had ulterior motives, Celes enjoyed having an opportunity to rant, for she was most certainly ranting, on the lack of exploration and experimentation in the latest meta. Celes loved talking with Raine. Though Raine was a dirty meta-user, she was also a pioneer. She was on the front lines, exploring the latest in high-level innovation. She stuck to general themes, but at least she was experimenting with something , and Celes was always aching for high-level experimentation. Celes never managed to reach the level of the average fourteen year old, and was so far below the average user level that she had almost lost all hope of ever seeing a raid, let alone participating. But she would not yield to some half-assed guide with no imagination, even if it meant staying in the low levels. She would one day find her diamond in the rough, and soar through the ranks with ideas none had even dreamed of! Celes nodded to herself, satisfied at her own self-assurance. Celes had been so caught up in her monologue, that she had squandered a good ten minutes of Raine Sleep Manipulation Time! What was she thinking?! Celes hurried to Raine's side, careful to not wake her. Leaning gently against her shoulder, she whispered into Raine's ear. You love Celes. Celes is your bestest friend. You want to sleep with Celes. You want to give Celes an extra helping of dessert tonight. Celes continued to whisper these things into Raine's ear, firmly believing that it would be effective in converting Raine to the dark side. ' And besides, what's wrong with a little extra dessert? I have a tough job, and the calories won't stick. Much. ' So Celes thought. She continued to whisper dark things into Raine's ear, blasphemous things. You will try using Parry and Riposte combined with Hamstring to slow an enemy that has lost threat, instead of a taunt. It's more energy efficient, and you'll still grab threat because of the extra time you'll have to damage the target due to the slow you'll apply. Dark, horrid things, that would leave most players cringing in terror. Celes spent nearly an hour whispering in Raine's ear, and she was soon parched. Her soft, pink lips grew dry, but she didn't yield. She didn't stop for a drink, knowing her chance to manipulate Raine was limited. But she soon grew exhausted, and instead, sat on the arm-rest, and cuddled against Raine's chest. ' I'm sleepy, and Raine stole the good chair. This is only fair, right? ' was Celes' line of thought, as she slowly drifted to sleep, dirty-blonde hair tangling with Raine's gorgeous blonde locks, as Celes cuddled against her neck.

Whatever Celes might believe of sleep hypothesis was her own concern, Raine was simply enjoying her beauty sleep. And she slept well, for a time, warm and comfortable in a dreamless slumber. ATTENTION, ALL PERSONNEL. The sudden blaring announcement shook Raine out of her nap, and she jumped, flinching awake with a sudden upward jerk. Wha- A confused, half-asleep mumble, blinking wearily and nearly knocking Celes out of the chair in the process. That, she didn't allow. Even while still half asleep, her prone arm thrown over the sofa-chair's arm snapped to attention, preventing Celes from being thrown during her jerky awakening. MAINTENANCE HAS CONCLUDED AND A NEW LIFE IS UP AND RUNNING. Oh, guess I must've drifted off, the blonde mumbled, blinking the weariness from her eyes and addressing the comment to no one in particular, before tossing an indulgent glare Celes' way. You know what I've said about sleeping on me, she lectured, but voice lacking a certain sternness to back up her assertion. Anyhow, I'm gonna head back now. She added, extricating herself out of the mess of limbs, almost regretting the loss of the warm body against hers but showing no sign of it. May fortune smile upon you. A customary greeting spoken by the crew. Her tone brokered no room for argument, and just as suddenly as she visited, she was gone, leaving behind only the lingering scent of her signature perfume, a muted blend of sandalwood and bergamot. -- Zel was not amused. Concerned emeralds narrowed to a sliver as she gazed into the mass of similarly disoriented players, having been kicked to the human racial city upon log in. In the distance, dark, rolling landmasses loomed, accompanied by crackles of lightning and booming thunder. Was this some kind of sick joke? While it wasn't previously unheard of for the AI to add a new mob type or a quest, this was an expansion of previously unheard of proportions. A player spawning next to her elbowed her on accident, and she growled at the poor soul. PvP in cities is strictly forbidden and enforced by the NPC guards, but that didn't prevent the poor gal from squealing and all but turning tail and running. Large as the ship was, a limited player base meant that certain characters were almost universally recognizable, and Zel's sanguine mane and dual blades were practically a symbol. The Venture guild leader herself found no humor in pursuing some newbie around the city, lips pressed into a thin line as she peered around, looking for any new NPCs or announcements of what was going on. Finding none, she opted for the nearest mailbox. A guild meeting was in order.

Celes was sleeping contentedly, snuggled close to Raine. But her bliss was soon interrupted. With the AI's announcement, she was nearly thrown off of Raine as she jerked awake. Grabbed at the last second, Raine saved Celes from tumbling to the floor. Celes clung to Raine for a moment, hair frazzled, eyes wide and wild. Celes muttered non-commitally to Raine's lecturing tone, but she let go of Raine, letting her shift Celes around until they were seperated. May fortune smile upon you. Celes responded in a weary voice, stiff from her awkward sleeping position. But it was worth it. Raine had none of her usual sternness, and though she may not have noticed it herself, but her eyes had a small sparkle in them. At least, Celes thought that was what it was. Though it may just be the excitement of the new patch. ' THE NEW PATCH! ' Celes' mind scattered into a thousand trails of thought. ' What new areas could there be? Will there be any changes to previously released content? What about modifications to abilities? Would there be access to new races? ' Celes couldn't hold back her excitement, rushing to her bed, and almost slamming her headset on. The login process was relatively simple, automatically detecting who you were, and what avatar you had. There were no passwords, no login screen, no patch notes. If you wanted to learn what was new, you had to figure it out yourself. If there were new abilities, you had to find them, though most were available at various trainers. And if there were any large new areas, NPC explorers would usually hint at where they might be located. She realized almost too late the situation she had been in before the patch. She frantically rallied her mind, preparing for a daring escape, with a dozen different retreat plans. Her mind prepared to grab at her pouch, and pull out a bag of Black Smoke, and the moment she logged into the world, she pulled it out and threw it on the ground. She realized where she was too late to stop herself. An explosion of black smoke and bits of ash shot from the bag, covering nearly a dozen feet in every direction. Users that were just logging on themselves were caught in the blast, shouting and coughing. Elayne quickly and quietly made her escape from the crowd, hoping no one had noticed who had thrown the bag.

A new expansion-- A cheerful catgirl, a good two feet shorter than the average human, singsonged. Say something we don't already know. The bearded barbarian grunted, cutting her off curtly whilst slamming his battleaxe into the ground. Kruger. Zel warned with a narrow of her eyes, seated at the head of the table, arms crossed over her bust and looking just as troubled as the rest of them. New dungeons! The catgirl chirped again. Not just that, supposedly, there's a new city. Nay, cities , springing up in every cardinal direction. A cool voice of indeterminate gender chimed, the owner wearing a smiling fox mask and looking altogether too nonchalant. We must explore! Catgirl again. Serena can you shut the fuck up for two seconds? The barbarian was not amused. Enough . The flame-haired guild leader did not raise her voice, but the sharp inflection alone was enough to silence the both of them. She stood, sublime features twisted into a scowl, a hand slammed down on the table and the other hovering ever menacingly over the daggers sheathed by her waist. Kiera, continue to assess the situation and report back. She laid down the order coolly. Serena, assess interest and capacities give me a raid list by sundown. The catgirl pouted, but nodded as she was told. Kruger, go put your excessive energy to good use and stock our supplies. And don't forget invisibility potions this time. Irene, assist Serena. Zero... She continued to delegate, and everyone in Venture's Inner Sanctum had their mission for the day. Dismissed. Zel was the last to leave, too agitated to sit, she paced instead, peering over the reports already submitted again and again. This didn't make any sense. New lands masses the size of continents springing up? Why was all this new content being released at once. Where did the ship AI even generate so much expansion in such short notice? There was no point stewing over inadequate information, and so she forcibly shoved her irritation down, leaving the room to go examine her own armory. But of course, everything was already in perfect order. Two sets of armor and weapons, potions and scrolls a plenty. Nothing was amiss with her skills either. Her math, as always, flawless. All she had to do was Parry and Riposte then Hamstring if -- she paused, frowning. That sounded like something Celes would say. Where the hell did she get that absurd notion from? She shook the thought but couldn't help follow it to its logical conclusion. Where was Celes, or Elayne, currently doing anyway? This exploding mass of unexplored seemed just the kind of thing to make the girl swoon and chirp excitedly. Where are you atm? She inputted via private chat to her step-sister. Hopefully you haven't fallen off a cliff yet in your excitement? I could practically taste it even through this message... Snarky as always, in-game or out.
Thread: A New Life: Cataclysm || ƒeral x Denna

'???' She snapped back, in true, terse Zel-fashion. Elayne, in-game or out, was always so non sequitur, for the lack of a better word. It never ceased to puzzle her how a message of whereabouts get turned into a warning about pies. But strange as the girl could be sometimes, Zel would also grudgingly admit that she was right sometimes, at least about these strange little nonsenses like holiday pie. Since she was looking through her storage anyway...Zel listed the half a double pies she had left on the public auction. They were delicious, but in a weird sort of way she couldn't name anyway. She would have left her message at that, but... 'Try to keep this character alive for more a couple days, ok?' She added, sarcastic in the caring way only older siblings were capable of being. 'Supposedly there's a lot of new content. And I know you are going to go explore the unknown zones even if I told you no, so just this once, I'll let you tag along with Venture's raid provided you stay far, far back and do as I tell you to.' Zel hesitated over sending the message. It felt like such a poor idea, having a completely underleveled and undergeared character tagging along on her raid, but Celes was her step-sister and Raine didn't want to see her make yet another character this month . Oh what the hell. Maybe it was Celes rubbing off, but Raine figured she was entitled to her ration of impulsive decisions as well. 'Are we clear? East Gate, tonight at 9pm. Tell no one.' And with that, Zel signed off. Just because Raine didn't have work didn't mean that she wasn't human, and her grumbling stomach let her know that it was definitely time to eat. And she planned on a trip to the ship's gym and shower afterwards. A New Life was nice, but she was about to develop a round bottom from laying on her bed all day. She's got an image to maintain and a little sister type to wrangle.

You've got to be kidding me... The forever angry barbarian grumbled under his breath, staring down at the charging female with a look that suggested he was toying with the idea of cutting her down. He wouldn't, of course, not with Zel here and at the gate, but if looks could kill, Elayne would be riddled with holes. New friends? The catgirl, Serene, mewed, waving her overlarge gun excitedly in reply. Niiiiice . Was the only word out of Kiera's mouth. The fox-masked individual leaned against Zel's shoulder, almost intimately, before the flame-haired woman shrugged her off with a glare. Not a word. She raised a finger before anyone else could speak, and the cutting ice in those vibrant emeralds said it all. She walked up to greet Elayne with a curt nod of her head, arms crossed as she examined her little troublemaker, rolling her eyes at the bruises and blood, and is that moss smeared all over her shirt? In comparison, Zel's armor was pristine, spotless. Even given her ragtag band, Elayne looked out of place with her simple armor and lack of a weapon. Zel knew about that little trinket Elayne was so fond of course. It was pretty much trash, but Elayne seemed to collect those. Well, you are alive, that's a start. She scoffed a bit, wiping a smidgen of dirt from Elayne's chin with her glove. Alright, here's the ground rules. If you violate any of them at any point, I'll kick you out myself so help me god. She declared, narrowing her eyes as a cat would at its prey, staring Elayne down as she announced the rules. One, you are going to stay at least 50 feet behind this raid ground. Any closer and I'll port you out. Two, don't even think about hitting a mob, ranged attack or not. Three, if you throw any weird potions or smokes or even scream too loudly, I'm going to end you. Are we clear?

Elayne frowned at Zel's partners, jealous that they could spend so much time with her sister. She flushed as Zel brushed the dirt from her chin, realizing too late that she was filthy. She looked down as Zel issued her rules, shifting from foot to foot. Yes Zel. I'll keep back. I won't interfere with your fights, unless absolutely necessary. Elayne looked at Zel, excited to finally get a look at a real raid. And with one of the top guilds! Venture was amazing. They may be boring and meta, but at least they did new things. They were always the ones who explored the latest dungeons first. They had soooo many stories, and Elayne was determined to hear them all. Elayne shifted a bit, trying to hide her bag of goodies. She had found some fun new toys before hunting her kobold. And none of them were potions or smokes, so she could technically use them. A rock with a spell to light up, dazzling anyone not used to bright areas. A vial that, if filled with alcohol, the drinker's skin turned slippery and hard to hold. And finally, a rope with half a dozen knots in it. If you undid a knot, the person you saw next would be lucky. She had made sure to try out each of these before purchase, and they all worked. She was excited to see what she could do with them, as they had used most of her remaining supplies fund.

Not 'unless absolutely necessary,' Zel corrected, Never . Her way or the highway, evidently true in both worlds. Can we get going already, we are wasting time. Kruger grumbled. And he was right, every second was precious at changing times like this. It was precisely because Venture recognized this that it remained one of the pioneers in exploring content. Moving in a small, elite group, with no stragglers. Kruger was looking pointedly at Elayne, his message obvious. But Zel ignored it. Mount up. We are moving out. She motioned behind her with a wave of her hand, issuing her command coolly. Behind her, the Venture raid party each brought out their mounts, and for a moment it was monster galore. Horses, standard enough, but with horns? Was that a sabertooth lion Kruger summoned? And whatever that thing was Grizzly summoned was too weird for words. All of them, with exceptions, were winged. Purchasing the most ordinary mare from an NPC was expensive enough, and these were obviously anything but. If it wasn't clear already, each of the seven Venture core members were geared to the teeth. A ring on Zel's hand glowed and she brought out her own mount. And as expect of someone with her particular aesthetic tastes, her mount was magnificent. Intelligent cerulean eyes stared unblinking at his owner, purring softly as Zel scratched his ear. Even standing on all fours, he reached almost her shoulder in height, and his coiled muscles were armor-plated, even his wings gilded. Kruger shot a look at Elayne. So, what's the holdup, where's your mount, baby girl? The barbarian sneered, amused by his own joke. Zel didn't move to defend Elayne, simply frowned and sighed. I hope you have at least a point in riding... She murmured, taking a step toward the shorter girl. I'll let you ride with me. Zephyr's a nice guy, even if he looks intimidating. Here, I'll help you get on. She offered, standing by his side and looking as though she would help Elayne mount.

Elayne wilted as Zel correcter her. She had hoped to get away on a technicality, but she was caught. Elayne gaped at the amazing mounts, running up to each one, and naming them in turn. Oh my god, is that an actual Karugan Sabertooth? How did you manage to get one? I heard they only released twenty, and they were all being hoarded by a single player! Elayne gushed until Kruger sneered at her. Her hold body seemed to tense, like a cat with it's fur ruffled. I don't need some stinking mount. They are burdensome, expensive, and all around annoying. I have my OWN way of getting around. Elayne thrust her arms dramatically into the air. BY THE POWER AND CLEVERNESS OF GORDON THE TRANSMOGRIFIER, I CLAIM ACCESS TO THE ANCIENT POWERS OF KRUSBIN . With a brilliant orange flash, Elayne transformed into a small ermine. Angry chittering soon filled the air, with the little ermine's brown and white paws still lifted in the air. Another orange flash, and this time she became an even larger ermine. Elayne beat the ground with her tiny paws, glaring up into the sky, little paw shaking at it in anger. She chittered for a moment, before zipping under Kruger's mount, almost too fast to notice. Elayne snuck around to Zel's mount, and hopped up, chittering at Zel, gesturing to itself, head held high in pride. She watched Zel expectantly.

...No. There was a long silence, interrupted only by Serena's shrill scream along the lines of 'omigodit'ssocuteiwannahugeit,' before Zel spoke up again. The Venture leader did not look amused, not one bit. Her brows furrowed, and a slim digit lifted to massage her temple, as if Elayne's antics were enough to give her a headache even in the virtual world. Zel looked to the sky, then back at Elayne-ermine, then back at the ground. She seriously considered taking off without. But the girl had been on time and waiting, even agreeing to all of her terms. She supposed she couldn't be quite so cruel. Cancel whatever shenanigans this is, right now. She issued with a hint of a growl, staring at the ermine perched upon her regal Snowmane. All the while she mounted up herself tall as the beast was, Zel threw herself atop it in one graceful leap, an agility impossible in the real world. Techniques were nice, and the Venture leader was a firm believer that raw stats all. You have five seconds before I throw you off and take off. Five...

Ermine Elayne stared at Zel, obviously proud of herself. Her pride was shattered at the single word. No. Elayne stared at Zel, confused. She felt a little better that Serena liked it, but only a little bit. As Zel began to count down, Elayne scrambled to undue the ability. A flash of orange, and Elayne was back to her old self. She looked at the ground, depressed at being rejected. She thought she looked rather cute, but Zel had shut her down. There went another plan to gain Raine's favor. But Celes would not give up. Ok... if you don't like it.... Elayne sniffled, seating herself on the Snowmane. She looked down at herself, only now truly realizing how filthy she was. She looked at her bag of goodies, then back to her clothes. She grimaced, before pulling out a small bundle of red and black clothes. She stared at them, obviously not liking the idea of wearing them. She stared at Zel, then the party, then finally back down at the clothes. She sighed, and began to strip off her filthy outerwear, mind not registering the fact that half a dozen people would see her undress.

There was common sense. Then there was Elayne. What the fuck are you doing. The urgent, almost angry whisper was all Elayne was privy to before a gloved hand seized the back of her collar, not unlike how a bigger cat might carry a smaller one by its scruff. Having pulled a shirt halfway off of her head, she had effectively blinded herself, and before she could even get a word of protest out, Zel had picked her up, bodily, and hefted her onto the regal Snowmane not unlike how she might handle a bag of potatoes. The younger was light enough, sure, but the amount of strength required for such a move was entirely inhuman. But they were a in a game, and Zel was a blood tank, and she sure was hell wasn't going to let Elayne give a strip tease, however clumsy it might be, to her entire raid group. With a click of her tongue and the firm grip of her thighs, Zel signaled her Snowmane, and the great beast flapped its impressive wingspan, taking off with but a single powerful beat. Elayne, trapped as she was in a bundle of cloth, missed the initial take off. Zel considered it a punishment - Elayne was just so infuriating sometimes. She made the girl struggle a moment longer, trapped between herself and her mount, baffled by the sudden gusts of wind. Zel held the reins steady on either side of Elayne's torso though, she wasn't about to let her troublemaking little blonde plummet to certain death. You better thank me for this later. She grumbled, irritation lining her voice still. I've let two people, two people , ride Zephyr. And you are smearing moss all over him. She grumbled. When Elayne finally dis-tangle herself, Zel would fork a plain looking silver ring over to her. It didn't look like much, but it was very a newbie godsend. Full repair, including cosmetic damage, on unlimited use. The only drawback was there was a level cap on how high the equipment could go. A levelcap she doubted Elayne would reach anyway. Regardless, it still fetched a decent price on the AH, but Zel handed it off like it was nothing. Get rid of the moss. She grumbled again, pretending at irritation still.
