The vines that stood-in as arms cracked forward like leather whips, the wind off of their strike kicking up the dead leaves that rested close by as the Nepenthes lashed at her…Its attack serving as a swift counter attack in revenge, its limbs firing out as soon as the teen landed. Relsialle, ducked down just as Kaori charged, her outline fading into stealth… The powerful charge forward made the older girl smile, a faint glimmer of respect appearing for Kaori as the teen rushed forward spear in hand, “Girl’s got balls...I’ll give her that much…” The Irishwoman musing as she followed the glowing guide steps in her GUI, aiming to put herself in range for her own…much more strategic approach in dealing with the mutated plants that they skirmished with… Kaori would have to search openly for the pink-haired thief, her after-image barely visible in the light of the clearing until a faint glimmer of red could be seen behind the wounded creature’s partner. Relsialle dove forward, her thin dagger drawn and stabbing forward as her stealth cloak shattered into pixels around her, instantly making her lithe form visible. The red glow of her sword art was present as she leaped out of safety until finally the thief buried the blade in the large mass of chlorophyll that served as its body. Relsialle’s nepenthes took the hit well, its HP gauge barely breaking the yellow mark, but that ultimately wasn’t the desired affect at all…The goal finally revealed itself several seconds later as the tale-tale marker of paralysis appearing in the creatures status, freezing it in place for the time being. The digital representation of green blood drenched her hand as she pulled her steel blade free, a wicked smile gracing her features as she noticed the status change over the monster’s name… The punk-rocker leaped back, putting her shiv into a reverse grip, her hands alternating up and down as she readied another strike, her hair bouncing with her as she shifted her weight to the pads of her feet. The girl’s eyes scanned the area behind the paralyzed creature as it let loose a sharp whine, its limb hanging helpless for the time being as Relsialle’s blue eyes darted in search of the last of the hostiles… (Little Nepenthes L1– 5 HP) (Little Nepenthes L1– 12 HP) - *P* (Little Nepenthes L1– 20 HP) – *Hidden*

Kaori grinned in delight. Things were going extremely well thus far, but she could not underestimate the severity of the situation. The massive "Little" Nepent that Kaori had just attacked was now cornering her into the mound. A thick glob of saliva dribbled from its mouth and dropped on Kaori's arm as it wailed in anger. "Urh-yuck!" She choked back the vomit that was rising up in her throat. Blood was alright, but any other bodily fluid was horrifying. The creature was getting dangerously near with its thrashing vines coming closer and closer.     The girl sprinted up the side of the hill at the speed of lightning using her <<Acrobatics Mastery>> to her advantage as she bounded further up. Putting all her might into her legs, Kaori launched herself onto the monster's head. She used her thighs to wrestle with the monster's attempts to fling her off, squeezing its head as tight as possible. The Little Nepent swung her into a tree knocking down her HP by a little, but the teen determinedly stayed on. It only had a little health left. It was worth it. With both hands she held her spear above her head and then shishkabobbed the pitiful thing to its death. The monster shattered into blue pixels. Kaori lightly dropped down, landing a soft blow to the other paralyzed Nepent with the base of her spear.

Relsialle Lv1 (Little Nepent L1– 0 HP) - DEAD (Little Nepent L1– 7 HP) - *P* (Little Nepent L1– 20 HP) - Hidden The paralyzed Nepent let out a piercing screech as is remained helpless while the blunt of Kaori’s spear impacted with a sickening thud. Relsialle blinked at the suddenness of the teen’s attacks, not quite sure if she planned them or if she just made it up as she went along…a bright smile seeming to grace the older girls features as the thought came and went in a blink. The pink-haired thief leaped forward past her partner, her dagger stretched out in a graceful thrust to finally finish off the wounded monstrosity of a house-plant. The dagger dug deep into the mass of fibrous tissue, the weapon finally free and it exploded into a mass of pixelated shapes, the program returning to wherever the cardinal system stored it’s particularly uglier horrors… (Little Nepent L1– 0 HP) - DEAD (Little Nepent L1– 0 HP) - DEAD (Little Nepent L1– 20 HP) - Hidden The Irishwoman blinked as her smile faded, offering a quiet nod to Kaori, opening her mouth to offer either encouragement or a bit of good-natured teasing…and knowing her, the latter was more probable…Her thought was interrupted by the loud screeching of the hidden Nepent, flanked by two new companions, most likely drawn by the last cries of their former comrade. The lead creature is what instantly drew the attention of her sea-blue gaze, a bright red flower present in its top most pedals, right above its gaping and drooling maw…The rogue shook her head at the soft ticks above her HP gauge, the cooldown of her sword art taunting her as they soon found themselves on the losing end of the numbers game. Relsialle blinked, her cheek tensing slightly as the wailing sound of the new presences grated in her ears like nails on a chalkboard. She dropped low, the muscles in her legs tightening like a spring…She leaped forward without warning…driving her steel dagger forward into a raking slash across its green carapace, reeling her weapon back before thrusting it forward in a powerful jab… (Little Nepent L1– 9 HP) (Little Nepent L1– 20 HP) (Little Nepent L1– 20 HP) – Quest Marker

Her eyebrows furrowed as the three Little Nepents stomped in from the darkness. Her muscles tensed. This wasn't good at all. Her eyes barely caught Relsaille springing from the shadows and embedding her knives into the howling enemy. Kaori grinned at her companion's sharp attack. Damn, she's fast. Wait, is that... The red flower! It was right there for the picking. She was so close to her goal she could taste it. These monsters had better watch out.      They were outnumbered and if Kaori was once again cornered into the mound, she would not be as lucky as the last time. One Little Nepent she could handle, but three? Determined to even out the numbers, the young teen sprinted to the sides of the monsters. Her lungs were burning wheezing for air, blood rushing into her cheeks making her resemble a tomato. Her feet skidded in the dust as she stopped directly in front of the Little Nepent. She had been saving her sword art for when it was absolutely necessary.      Kaori held her spear to her side, locking on to the feral beast. Its vines taunted her as it bellowed over its lifeless kin. The girl charged forward with all her might savoring the rush of power running through her. "TITANIUM'S VENOM!" she roared, a rabidness in her eyes. Her blade shone a blinding cyan light and her eyes eerily glowed the same color. She swung her blade slicing the creature's bulging gut. Its vines now removed from the creature writhed like snakes on the forest floor. Green blood sputtered form its raw flesh. She then forced all her power into one point stabbing straight through the beast. The Little Nepent howled in pain as it shattered into blue pixels. She could almost feel the pixels melting against her forehead, like snowflakes cooling upon her sweating skin. One down, that was better.

The punk-rocker’s eyes widened as the vines fired out like a gun, its green limbs moving like a whirlwind. The girl shifted effortlessly left…her high AGI finally revealing itself for what it was…just as the first attack sailed by her, kicking up a cloud of rotten leaves and dust as it impacted the ground…the sheer force of it sounding like a hollow explosion when it hit. The second limb ultimately had her number as it crashed into her thin forearm, it lifted above her body in a guard, the dagger’s blade acting like a barrier to keep the fibrous tissue of the Nepent from touching her porcelain skin. The pure force of the attack is what got her, her HP gauge dropping to match the power of the assault, dropping her knee to the ground to brace herself. Relsialle L1: ( -8 HP! ) The thief’s face twisted from pain as her muscles tensed, the force of the blow moving though her body as the shock dispersed. Her recovery was quick as she rolled backwards enough to finally stand…Her eyes narrowing, flavored with revenge, as she dropped her foot back to ready another strike…her lips mouthing a few choice words for her opponent’s lucky blow. The girl leaped forward, her body appearing to be a pink blur as she sailed through the air, her dagger now embedded upwards into the roof of its open maw… Relsialle eyes shot open as she pulled her drool covered dagger and hand free of the creature…the plant creature finally shattering in a display of flying pixels.

Her body bounced rapidly on the balls of her feet as she complained, turning to Kaori in an exaggerated effort to gain sympathy. The older girl blinked suddenly as the realization came over her, catching the stirring plant creature out of the corner of her eye…”There you are…” The girl whispered, her gaze trained on the bright red flower growing from it. She slid her foot back, bringing up her guard once more, ready to switch with Kaori if needed.

Kaori began laughing at the unusual sight of the floundering Relsialle with her high-pitched squeals, wondering how she'd take the Irish woman seriously after this. So she did have a soft side to her under that tough exterior. Perhaps she had misread her companion as a complete badass. Kaori turned her attention back to the mission's objective. 'You're all alone now," she cynically chuckled, her lips drawing into a gleeful smile.      As she advanced towards the creature, it lashed out with its threatening creepers. The strong vines dug into the earth with such strength that it molded out shallow trenches. The teen dashed side to side with sharp swerves to dodge each attack. Calculating the distance between them, she decided she was close enough, so she lunged forward. Before her spear could pierce the beast's flesh, one of its vines wrapped around her foot hoisting her above its head. The frantic teen shrieked at this unexpected turn of events, wriggling like a fish on a hook. "LET GO OF ME!"     She gulped back her fear as she looked down its throat. It definitely looked hungry... Could she die as a tasty snack to low-level plant monster? Was that even possible? I mean, they were plants, right? They couldn't be carnivorous. She wouldn't allow herself to become plant food, squirming to loosen its grip. The Little Nepent raised its other vine thrashing her leg to silence her struggling. Kaori let out a pained yelp, her leg completely limp. The sharp sting sunk into her calf, leaving a prominent red gash on her skin. Her eyes squeezed shut as small tears began forming, her teeth gritting because of the pain. The young girl dangled above the monster's mouth. Don't you dare die now, you pathetic loser.     Her hands formed into fists,  clenching her spear in frustration. As the plant-thing lowered her into its mouth, in a last effort to free herself, Kaori plunged her spear into its mouth. The creature howled in discomfort, dropping her onto the ground, her spear remaining wedged into the beast's mouth.      She turned to Relsialle with the exhilaration of still being alive. "Would you like to do the honors?"

Relsialle tensed as the creature caught hold of Kaori, her crystalline eyes narrowing as she stepped from side to side…the Nepent waving her companion to and fro to match her movements, utilizing the teen as a rudimentary human-shield. Under any other circumstance the girl would be impressed that the system operations were so adaptable, but knowing how real this had become, such admiration would go unspoken. The girl cursed under her breath until the teen managed to get a shot in, the creature thrashing from the sharpened point lodged deep within its toothy maw.

The thief grinned a moment as she stepped beside Kaori, silently thankful that she didn’t have to see anyone fade away…at least for the time being…”Sure thing sis…” The older girl said with a wink, holding her balled fist out to bump…”Although I did kinda take you for one of those odd kinky-type of girls by the way you were smiling out there, all tied up…not my type of thing but hey, to each their own…” The girl teased with a wide grin, her accent flavoring her words thick enough that they came out in a quick slur…finally letting out a hefty laugh.

Her joke faded quickly as she bent down, her sharpened dagger stretched along her forearm…She dove forward bringing the blade up into a powerful slash upwards…the red mark of the strike segmenting the green body of the creature into two symmetrical halves…

"Hey, that's not funny!" the young girl protested, only half taking Relsialle's comment as a joke. "My life was in danger and I wasn't--" She was clearly embarrassed, her face scrunching up. She let out an indignant "Hmff" as she got up and retrieved her spear which had fallen to the ground when the monster disintegrated. I could have died! The nerve of some people...     When she returned, she loudly exhaled letting go of her short-lived outburst. Kaori reconsidered her companion's words. She was probably overreacting. It was probably just a joke. Anyways, there were more important things like the quest item. Her face glowed with joy. She smiled thankfully at Relsialle.     "Why don't we head to Horunka and claim this quest? And then afterwards, we can buy ourselves a pint to celebrate with."

" Sometimes things are more fun with your life on the line…" ☒ @tagged ✐ 000 ✉ notes Relsialle Lv1 Relsialle grinned as the younger Kaori visibly expressed her embarrassment, the thief using the rough edge of her humor to cut through the tense situation. The pink-haired girl chuckled as she shook her head, flipping her dagger in hand, “Don’t get all thin skinned on me sister…just because your life is on the line cant mean you can’t have a bit of fun now and again…” The older girl answered back with a warm smile, finally placing the weapon back in its home at her side…the blade scraping the inside of the leather scabbard with the sharp sound of metal on metal. “Besides, if you’re serious all the time this place will drive you crazy…” She added offering a slow blink of her crystal-blue eyes, a seemingly out of place philosophical interlude from the spunky musician. The girl swiped her think finger to the side after reviewing the list of drops, silently counting what needed to be sold and kept. Her observant eye shot reflexively to review how much damage the pair had taken, her expression indicating a measure of satisfaction for the time being. “Sounds like a plan!” Relsialle exclaimed, the younger girl verbalizing the request that was no doubt on both of their minds form the start. Her stomach growled almost immediately after, forcing the thief to scrunch her face like an angry kitten, suddenly forgetting that she had just awoken immediately prior to their travels. “Perhaps a snack might be in order as well…” The girl added with a grin, finally stepping off… ((Shall we close and turn in? ^_^ ))
