Endlessblaze

--------------------------------- Leo -------------------------------- Leo jumps onto the pad and up onto the ledge with no problem. He would have to ask the small beastman how he did that later. He pulls out snow and follows Mirri ------------------------------------ Takumi ----------------------------------- Takumi shakes off a chill and steps downward, to examine the fountain.

---------------------------------- Leo ---------------------------------- "A dungeon huh? Did you get any good loot?" Leo hands Satomi one of his remaining potions "Im pretty sure Tim has these imprinted on his stone, unless I forgot to give him some, so we can get more later if we need them. Ill check when we swing back by." Leo heads further into the alley, looking around in casual alertness for any threats or clues -------------------------------- Takumi -------------------------------- Takumi looks at the board a moment, thinking. Well it sounded like the others already wanted to check the clock tower anyways so he could ignore that one. The correspondence note seemed like a weird thing to place on the board, could just be some kid messing around, but it was something to keep in the back of his mind. He didn't have much on him in the way of tools, but giving the fountain a look couldn't hurt. And he wouldn't need tools to check on an old house. So Takumi heads for the second district Fountain

------------------------------------------ Leo ----------------------------------------- "Uhhh....Satomi are you alright? Your absolutely blood soaked. Ive still got a couple of potions if you need one." "When did that even happen?" ------------------------------------- Takumi ------------------------------------ Well, people seemed to be getting busy. Takumi thought about joining the party that had apparently decided to go solve a set of job requests, but a good chunk had just gone down the alleyway, and they looked well armed. If the space got to tight it might be a problem. Looking around, the town looked rather nice. He liked the look of it. It looked well cared for, and people had likely put a respectable amount of care and effort to make sure it stayed that way. But what had that other guy been talking about? It was always this time? Where was the sun? Did this planet have to support life on its own? A curious and perhaps concerning thought. Deciding he might as well look around a bit, Takumi swung by the bulletin board looking for something he might be able to do himself, while heading over to the second district.

Leo silently rolls his eyes at Kusuke's apparently sensory disrupting concern. "Let's light things up a bit better." Leo mumbles to himself going over a few words in his head, before drawing mana into balls in his hand. He chants a short spell while raising his arm and casts balls of light into the side. They seem...pretty dim though. "Well that's not-" One of the balls drift into a nearby wall and explode with a loud firecracker like pop. "That's not right. Huh. Though I had that one."

"I welcome the extra company, but I think its best to start with the alley, Given that its an Active threat, and we don't know when its going to strike again." Leo turns the map around and shows it to them "Its a bit of a round about, but it seems alright. We can swing through the Alley, likely one of the most outright dangerous jobs. Then come back through here and buy any medicine or other items we need. Then we can move into the Second District and investigate the clock tower. After that we head into the third district, I fix the powerline, and then we check out the cave." "After that we can just come straight back here and have our shopping trip or whatever. Shouldn't take more then a few hours at most. Really the Alley is the only one a bit out of the Way" Leo nods to himself seeming satisfied with his plan

Leo heads back to the party and starts talking "Alright I checked the job board, and a few caught my eye. There's a power line worn down and exposed in the third district. Simple repair job. I could probably fix the line itself in a couple of minutes, Ten Tops. But it sounds like it keeps happening so I wouldn't put it past there being a monster or something there gnawing the lines to feed on the electricity or whatever. Im currently thinking about saving it for last and handling it on our way out, given how easy it sounds." "Secondly, Rumor has it there is a monster attacking people in an alley way that leads to the fourth district. If its hunting people, and is known, its likely more dangerous and of concern then our hypothetical electrovore. So I would put it higher on the list, ....Then again a hypothetical electrovore is nothing to sneeze at, it might have a ton of power stored up in its body it could attack with if it get agitated so-" Leo ends his sentence with a shrug. Not really sure where on the danger scale he rates his electric monster theory over actual concerning monster rumors. Snow takes her own turn to interject, and explain the third task "The third job wants us to investigate the clock tower, apparently -" "Would 'Hypothetical Electrovore' be the name of a monster that eats electricity and uses it to teleport around via quantum mechanics?" "No, You would name it a 'Wire Jumper', now shut up and let me finish." Snow sighs, and moving on from her Electricity Pun Name for imaginary monsters proceeds to finish "Apparently something has gotten stuck in it. Probably somewhere high up if no one has gone to get it already. Or dangerous. You might be interested in that one Vitor. Clock Towers are usually made to last, and well kept as landmarks" "And the final job that looked interesting is some mysterious sounds coming from some cave somewhere. Might be a monster, Might be a late night rendezvous, might be some guy doing experiments in a quiet place, might be the wind." Leo takes a moment to think. "The rewards don't seem to be listed for most of these, but once that involve fighting or exploring should give decent payout. Especially with the money making enchantments. That being said, I would LIKE to get all of these."

Leo nods and heads to the bulletin board. He looks for quests, monster hunting jobs, notes about good spots for hunting, and hopefully a pinned map

-------------------------------------------- Leo -------------------------------------------- Leo stares at the mailbox for a bit then shrugs, deciding he may as well try sending one. Maybe the Item shop sold them. Of course that went back to money.... "Is there a good place to fight monsters or take quests nearby? I want to go shopping but Im going to have to make a bit more money first. Or maybe there are some Dungeons I could raid?"

---------------------------------------- Leo ---------------------------------------- "Oh hey, fancy meeting you here." Leo gives a friendly wave at Frigus, putting Snow away, motes of light slipping out the scabbard occasionally. "Is there where you had to go to meet your boss?" Upon noting that the small...Rat Person(?) Who's name he had never caught somehow receive a package in the mail despite having just got here, Leo decided to check to see if he had anything himself. Perhaps the mail system here was portal based and linked up to other worlds? That would explain the speed at least. He didn't usually get snail mail, but figured it couldn't hurt to check. Now that he was thinking about it, he wonders how many Emails he has been missing given the lack of a good internet connection. Leo Proceeds to check the mailbox while also trying to see if he can get an internet connection. Ideally, he can check his Email and place calls again. ----------------------------------------- Takumi ---------------------------------------- Takumi looks at Vitor for a moment as he runs off to the trashcan, before sighing (Relieved? Annoyed?) and looking around the admire the area more.

----------------------------------------------------------------- Leo ---------------------------------------------------------------- Leo stands back up and shakes of the daze with a little "Ugh" He takes a moment to look around at admire the pleasant Townscape around him. Nice night, well lit, the buildings looked well off and well taken care of. The Shops caught his attention fairly quickly, an Item shop? Likely a general store for adventurers, he had certainly seen the type after escaping into the great wide world that WASENT a barren wasteland. The Jewelry and Accessory shops sounded like places to get good equipment, or at least good attunement samples. This made him realize a pressing problem. He had almost no money, aside from a few coins left over from the village they had protected. Of course, he could always ply his trade and make some things to sell, or just get rid of some of the resources they had stocked in the ship. But that could take time depending on what he wanted. But he recalled one of the materials he had tested. He was used to a distinction between 'Counterfeit' and 'Made with Magic' and the magic of the deluxe shard seemed the latter. Pulling out Snow and a few samples he lightly juggled some ice and a shard of something in his hand. "Hey snow, you can't see any issues with adding a bit of wind around your blade can you?" "Not in particular" Flowing mana through the Ice and shard, Leo started to speak some of his spells and bind a new enchantment into his sword. Around the blade flew chilled winds, and in those winds were formed drifting motes of golden light, fading in and out of being and growing and shrinking in size as they lazily orbited the blade (17, 1) (21) Level 3 - Lucky Strike: Melee attacks made with Snow on enemies and certain environmental objects, cause 1d4 Munny to be created for Leo to pocket immediately Leo smiles at the results and waves snow about in the air a bit gently. "Hey guys! I can enchant our weapons to help us get money. I Should be able to do it with just about whatever kind of energy or effect you want, if you care about that." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Takumi --------------------------------------------------------------------- Takumi took the shift even worse then the last time. His head hurts, and hes pretty sure he landed hard AGAIN. For the third time today. Was this going to become a trend!? did he have to deal with this every day from now on. He really hoped not. His Stomach was starting to get really sick from all the constant jerking around through strange space-warping universe hopping phenomenon. "Please....go a little gentler....Im seriously going to throw up" He eventually dragged himself up and stood to his feet, looking around he spotted those other two he had been dropped in with last time. He promptly found himself shaking off the nagging frustration and sickness that was bothering him, by being bothered an equal amount by how useless he had been. He should...Probably apologize for that. Given he certainly COULD have helped. He had a Gun-JetSword, and he had Song Magic. But man, those things had freaked him out. Eventually, he awkwardly approached them. Rubbing the back of his neck and oozing 'wants to say somethingness' "So uh....does this just happen often? Because if it does Im going to need to start caring around a barfbag."

Be super fast. Grab my Home cooked meal card, Access it with a cry of "Access! Home Cooked Meal!" then throw myself at the knight and hang on to it until boom. Preferably its head, but its chest or arms work to.

Card leaps down the pit, shouting as he does so, his blade shining with radiant charged light, as a result of the Chilli Horrordog card inside it. "TRANSFORM! CHILI HORRORDOG!" Crush that stupid armor under the weight of my giant hotdog body or whatever.

"Why dident you use your mouth then!? Learn telekinesis or something!" Ichor, being frustrated one of his best cards just went tumbling into the abyss, and seeing that onion is trying to do a thing, simply settles for adding the Healent card to his Full set, and trying to Build up energy in his Transformation charge

Ichor bleu pulls the Home Cooked Meal card out of his sword, and throws it to Dia "Dia, Use this!"

'You have GOT to be kidding me!" Ichor moves to reattach dia's leg, pressing it against her nearly melting stump and applying a little jolt of mana if needed

Ichor Bleu thinks back to the fight against the Nutribot, that Scythe had looked pretty menacing. "HelperBot! Attack with Blade Whirlwind!" Ichor Bleu grabs the helper by the arm, and yeets it, spinning, at the monster's thorny tendril. Commanding it to open up and brandish its menacing blade to slice through its "arm"

Having returned to wave form, Ichor Bleu once more begins to set his cards, declaring... "We have come to return the Nexus to its proper place!" "Full! Ichor!" "Full! Chil Horrordog!" "Full! Home Cooked Meal!" "Stand aside or be moved!" Assuming it fails to comply.... "Trial! Nutribot!"

"A whole infestation of these things? That sounds like a good chance to try this out." He puts away his new Jelly card, after looking it over and preforming a few card tricks with it, before pulling out unfathomable flesh yet again. He takes a deep breath and... "FULL! UNFATHOMABLE FLESH!" He exhales and bends over slightly, spreading out his arms a little as the symbiotic flesh created by the card begins to intertwine with his own. External muscles and tendrils growing over and into his body. He idlily wondered if he could do anything with the mass when he got done using it and it fell off, before it you know, dissolved. "I get the feeling its going to be a pain if I wear this for to long, so lets deal with this quickly" He laments that this place is probbly to small for the Chili Horrordog card's Full power, but further decides to mix it up by swapping out Full Ichor, for Full Meat Suckler Lotus, though he keeps the Home Cooked Meal in.

Ichor Bleu continues to wave his card around. Gesturing, swinging, and preforming Card Tricks as he takes full control of the tentacles Lashing, Grabbing, Reaching. Doing his best to start sapping the strength and life of this stupid slime! He of course makes up a technique name in the process, not content to say nothing while using this power, but unwilling to repeat the last thing he said. "Red Dance!"

"UNFATHOMABLE FLESH!" Ichor Bleu dramatically brandishes his spoken card, filling the area with crimsion tentacles to sap the life away from the speedy slime.

---now in an encounter with a meat slime thing in the basement The usual, Full Home Cooked Meal, and Ichor Then use Trial Meatsuckler lotus to...summon a Meatsuckler lotus. Then try and Lure/Force it into the flower If it dies to the flower snapping shut on it, great. If not, then it will be pinned in place for our killing pleasure

Ichor Bleu continues looking around. But the only thing he really sees is the pepole moving about Consume's...top...floor... Wait. That's not right. Moving over to consume and passing right through its walls he finds that, sure enough, there are a number of rooms under the building. This could be it He slowly moves down, investigating as best he can without using radar sight. Observing the Streams, Looking at the shapes of heat sources and the things they heat. The things they fail to heat. The gradients of the heat. Observing carefully, from many angles, he begins to slowly map each and every room

Well thats something he is going to have to work on later. For now....Where is that Nexus? If they are using it as power it must be channeled somewhere. Try to spot currents that look like they might be very intense, or connected to a larger network, then follow them.

Card, Ichor Bleu drifts and moves about a little bit. This felt weird it. It felt very calm. None of the sound from outside world could reach here. He couldent see any thing from the outside It was relaxing. It felt natural. The Electromagnetic Waves washing all over him dident bother him at all. But something felt...incomplete. Something in his soul insisted this was not right, and, peaceful as it was, the lack of sight and hearing could prove to be an issue. How was he supposed to gather information and move unseen if all he could see was the "water"? "Maybe if I...." Even if he cant see it, the real world still exist here, and Light is still part of the EM spectrum. But theres so many waves here he cant see much of anything. So, Ichor tries to redirect some of the waves around him and filter it until enough light gets through to his eyes to at least more or less clearly track and ID objects and pepole. It dosent need to be perfect, but even a little bit of a filter should hopefuly help him navigate

Card moves over to, and sits against the sign where all the EM energy seems to be coming and going. He holds a piece of magnetic science scented silicon in his hand (And scrunched up tentacle hand) and tries to shift further into the EM world. Phasing himself out of normal reality, so he can get a better look at the area without anyone seeing him. He is a EM being right now. This should be perfectly natural... All he has to do is try to more closely match the energy coming off the sign, and the stone in his hands.
