[Open] Being a Brave Person

[Neferata]

[Open] Being a Brave Person Neferata walked slowly like some proper lady while looking around. Two years had passed, yet she still stays at Level 01 for some reason. Maybe she hasn’t been hunting at all, since she’s somehow scared of shedding blood despite convincing herself of being brave. Sure, in MMORPGs, she’s killed monsters, but in here? It’s scary now, since she’s stuck inside as Neferata, her character, and Elder Tale has become…somehow, real. Then she heard rustling of the bushes. She turned over to where the sound came from and pointed her rapier over to the bush. “S-Show yourself!” Neferata said. But it seems that it was some squirrel, a cute one, that is. Neferata sighed. “That was close…” But yeah, this is Londinium, there are no monsters here. Unless she’s in the undergrounds, then there are monsters there. Or maybe player-killers, but they aren’t allowed in player towns, right? Well, maybe Neferata’s just has a calm and peaceful mind for killing monsters. Really kill monsters. Not those in MMORPGs where you just click the monster and fight, but in here, it’s like real life fighting, where you can stab, cut, cast spells, and other stuff used for fighting. She really needs to work on her emotions. She thinks about how the one she kills, especially other players, will feel. She never killed a person, not even once. But then she shook her head to remove that memory and said, “No! No! Got to focus…” Neferata walked as she keeps muttering, “Focus… focus…” until she bumps onto a tree. “Ouch!” she yelled in pain. And as the pain in her head fades little by little, she muttered, “… focus?” WORD COUNT: 278 TAGS: --- NOTES: Sorry if it sounds…stupid to you…

It was beautiful day, people bursting around the city. Meeting with an acquaintance, old ones and new ones. It just your normal typical day.

Lamenta pace around the city while one of his hand preoccupied by playing his bunny ears on his hood. It's been too normal for him this past days, no action, no hilarious stuff, or whatsoever. All he did is wandering around the city hoping for interesting stuff to do (heck, some landers actually notice him and though that he is sort of guard or something who patrol over city) It quite troublesome for Lamenta to be frank, a lot of request come up to him whenever there is problem risen up on certain area. Of course, he didn't accept all of the request. The key word is 'didn't accept all' that means some of the request was actually make him interested yet it becomes major disappointment on a split seconds.

Lamenta closed his eyes, and decide in split second. If he want thrills he can go to hunting zone. However, he open his status and check all of his skill. All of his skill was based on support, well there is some for offensive, but majority is a support skill. He need a partner.

As he lost in thought, he notice a swashbuckler girl walk flustered. He completely notice that she jump just from a small rustle from the bushes. He chuckled a bit seeing this refreshing scenery, and Lamenta completely lost it when he saw she headbutt a harmless tree while it seems she muttering something.

'Are you okay?' Lamenta walk toward the lady and offer his hand to help her up.
'Pardon me, for i was just laughing witnessing your blunder' Lamenta swept his tears that formed due to the great laugh 'after a great laugh, i just had. I can't help it to wonder how come you can strike that harmless tree with your head? Does that tree do something wrong to you? well perhaps like standing still in front of your path'

'My name is Lamenta, a bard. Also the pied piper of Londonium' he pulls out his dizi flute 'nice too make you as an acquaintance' He still hold his hand to offer a help for that swashbuckler girl

[Neferata]

[Open] Being a Brave Person “Are you okay?” The man said, offering a hand. Neferata accepted the hand and stood up. She also noticed that he was laughing. It seems that he just saw her accidentally bumping on a tree. Yeah, it does seem funny, but still, SHE bumped onto a tree, and that’s not funny to her. The man pulled out his Dizi flute and is still offering his hand while introducing himself. His name was Lamenta, a Bard and the pied piper of Londinium. Neferata quickly accepted the hand and stood up. She also introduced herself. “I’m Neferata, but you can call me Neffie if you want to…” Then she continued, “I’m pleased to meet you as an acquaintance too, Sir Lamenta.” And… an honorific for the guy she had just met. There’s actually… nothing wrong with it. Then Neferata looked at Lamenta. He was wearing a blue jacket with a black shirt and a bunny hoodie. She thought, ‘Lamenta…? I think I’ve heard of him, but I’m not actually sure…’ Neferata opened his status to make sure. It seems that he’s Level 6, and he’s from a guild called Noihara. ‘I think I’ve also heard about that guild, Noihara… but still, I’m not sure yet…’ WORD COUNT: 203 TAGS: Lamenta NOTES: ---

LAMENTA

bard

Lamenta reach the reached out hand from Neffi, he grab the hand as gently as he could and pull it slowly. She introduce herself as Neferata, and from the way she talks, Lamenta could guess she is from the high class family. He notice, him and her, are not really different, both of them are from high class family. However, the things that make the difference are their manners.

Yeah, Lamenta's manner may not the best feature from him. Heck, if someone decide to judge who has better manner between Lamenta and his little sister. His little sister will win miles away. Lamenta is a carefree, childish guy. It always like that, even before the accident that took his parents away.

'You should be more careful on the future, miss Neffi' Lamenta bow to hide his grin that formed due Lamenta holding a laughter. 'you don't know what will happen on the future'

Turns out, his bow was unnecessary. She won't notice it without the bow. Neffi appears to lost in though about things. The bard notice she make a gesture that indicates she is opening her status screen. Why would she check her status screen? Is she considering about something.

Lamenta considering his option, he need friend to go hunt with him to seek the thrill he was searching for. Would it be wise for him to pick her as his hunting companion. He observe Neffi, she is a Swashbuckler, one of the twelve main class who focus on DPS., her level is lower than him. However, it doesn't matter to him. He was planning to go to low level hunting zone in the first place.

'Miss Neffi, are you free?' Lamenta decided to go along with Neferata as his partner 'Are you familiar with the hunting ground? I want to take you a date on the hunting ground, we can work together as a pair. You as the frontliner and i as the support. What do you think?'

[Open] Being a Brave Person “Miss Neffi, are you free?” Lamenta asked. “Are you familiar with the hunting ground? I want to take you a date on the hunting ground, we can work together as a pair. You as the frontliner and I as the support. What do you think?” And Neferata herself is the frontliner. She have got to admit, she’s not interested and is rather scared of killing. Well, she may learn a new experience, and at least those are monsters instead of people. And so she decided, “Sure. Why not?” And she’s not lying. That’s her decision. “I think there’s a dungeon nearby here, but I’m not actually sure… is there?” Neferata asked. Well, is there? “If there is, then what dungeon should we go to?” She was curious, and at the same time kind of scared. Like as said before, she hates to kill, but since it’s monsters and not people, well, it’s actually fine. Yeah, she should’ve chosen one of the healer classes, like the Cleric, Druid or Shaman. But instead, she chose the Swashbuckler class, a class that focuses on DPS. Well, the Catastrophe was an unexpected event, and if she did expect it, she will choose the healer classes instead. But, actually, the Mage classes look good, too. Well, enough of that, since we are going on an adventure… WORD COUNT: 219 TAGS: Lamenta NOTES: ---

A dungeon she said?
Hmm.. Lamenta never had a chance to visit dungeon. Some of party group once invited him to join them to raid a dungeon, but he didn't fell up to it back then. And as far as he hear a rumor about dungeon, well dungeon is not friendly with a small group.

'Miss Nefti, are you sure we want to enter a dungeon just only us?' Well to be frank a low level bard and swashbuckler, couldn't possibly finished a dungeon by themselves, we lack of attacking power.And as far from he could see, she is a timid type of person, a kind of regretting her choice of class due to the catastrophe with her fidgeting and stuff.

He has seen that type of person over this past year. People who initially choose DPS as their main class but couldn't actually do killing or too sensitive about life in real life, for them the catastrophe has been nightmare to them. Some of them has change their class to take a class who mainly focus on range, since it doesn't gives a feel to much on killing stuff. He still not sure on why miss Nefti didn't approach that idea, maybe she has hidden agenda to it.

'Well i still not sure with the dungeon idea..but i know a great hunting spot for us nearby. Perhaps we could grind our level there' Lamenta took Neferata's hand and run, he doesn't care if its rude to take one girl's hand without any prior notice, he do what he feels won't hurt anyone too much. He belive his current action won't leave any harm to her.

'No worries, the place i am talking about is only full of boar and slime. From what i see, you aren't settled with killing stuff right? Perhaps you got used to it by killing some boar and slime' He pulllng Nefti's hand with a wide grin painted on his face 'Think the boar as nutrition supply, a matter of surviving'

He stop at a wide plain of field with full of Boar and slime roaming around carelessly without any idea what will happen to them next

'i will teach you how to be brave'

[Open] Being a Brave Person “Well… we are low-leveled, especially myself, but we should be fine,” Neferata replied. Well, its true that both of them lack power, and that Neffie herself is a bit regretting her choice of being a Swashbuckler. Yeah, she should’ve chosen another class, that’s for sure, but maybe it’s just fate that’s leading her into this. … If this Catastrophe didn’t happen, would she be more okay than she is? She doesn’t even know. Suddenly, Lamenta took Neferata's hand and then they run. Well, she doesn’t really mind, but it’s just… she didn’t expect that. And then later, they ended up in a place full of boars and slimes. She doesn’t want to kill, but yeah, they’re boars and slimes. It should be fine. … And the boars as nutrition supply. Yes, it should be just fine. And then she heard words from Lamenta. “I will teach you how to be brave.” Neferata only smiled as a reply.

If it wasn't due to his mask, his current embarrassment would be doubled, no tripled. Under his mask right now, his face color could beat the redness of a tomato, it would bring a shame to tomato family (yeah shame on you tomato, i beat you in the term of redness)

Her smile is completely unfair, she caught him off guard. But that smile, that cutesy smile, gives a hypnotic allure. It took a willpower for the young bard to looked away.

"Ermm..yeah' He cloar his throat trying his hard to regain his composure, he tried quite hard to calm him off. 'Like i said, i gonna teach you how to be brave. For starter, how about we do a clean up all of the creature here'

He switched his Dizi Flute with his starter katana, at these days he keep lamenting why he didn't buy a new sword. He flex his wrist while holding a long sword, well the stater katana is good thought for a beginner, however...It just dull, no exciting feeling out of it. Date Masamune has an interesting design, perhaps after this he would visit one of his blacksmith friend to smith him a short sword or short scythe in a form of musical note. That idea has been floating around at the back of his mind for quite while.

He took a charge to the nearest slime. With a single swift strike, it manage to aggro the Slime
'Well, there goes for one hit kill idea' He jump sideway to avoid the slime while its lung his way to hit Lamenta with his body.

'Don't be afraid to get hit. I have healing skill, so i think it's okay Nefti'
Well one thing for sure for him. Today may be a nice change of pace day for him like he initially thought.

[Open] Being a Brave Person “… Yeah.” Neferata muttered. Well, yeah, he did say that he has healing skills. Bards have healing skills, that is true. But she’s still not sure … … But then she readied her rapier and narrowed her eyes slightly at the nearest slime. Then she took a deep breath and then … she did it. She slashed the slime, but it still isn’t dead … yet … Only a bit of HP left. Neffie was about to slash the slime again, but that slime hit her. “…!” She widened her eyes as she was hit. She lost a few of her HP, and that hit actually didn’t hurt much, it was just like an average hit … Well, at least to her. Then as the slime was about to approach her, she stabbed it a few times, leading to the slime finally passing away. ‘It’s actually not bad after all,’ Neferata muttered. ‘I should get used to this …’ … Bravery is now with her.
