Rabbit Murder

[Spades]

    Opening his eyes slowly, Spade see’s a reddish sky. He stares blankly at the sky attempting to recollect what happened in the past few days, then he closed his eyes and hoped that he would see the same scenery of rooftops he had been accustomed to for the past 14 years of his life. Turning over he opens his eyes slowly and once more he sees small shop stands being set up in front of buildings that appear to be from the dark ages, the sight once more brought a sinking feeling to the werecat; he had been experiencing the feeling more and more as of late. With a grunt the man stood at his full height and rubbed his back, “I can’t keep sleeping outside like a bum, I’ve got to find a way to a bed at some point.” he said to himself, when he first came it wasn’t much of an issue to find some place comfortable to sleep but when the riots began to happen and all hell broke loose it became much harder to find places still offering their beds and even more so once everything settled down. With a mental shrug, Spades put it down to bad decisions made by majority and began his walk down the street.

    While he was proceeding down the street many of the vendors that had no familiar sounding names above their head gave him dirty looks, even after he passed by he felt malice and slight fear coming from his surroundings, maybe it was due to his height or how fast he was walking that caused the people of this game to feel discomfort at this moment but the amount of looks caused him to feel more tension than needed; of course as a response or old habits Spades made his mean face best he could with a face of a cat, showing one side of his teeth exposing his canines and clenching his fists displaying his will to get into a scuffle if it required him to do so but he was sure it was not that intimidating since he was so weak compared to the rest of the world.

    After what seemed like an hour,but was only 10 minutes, Spades found himself in front of one of the many quest boards in the city. Spades began his internal battle within himself over whether he should basically start over what he did in his past life and become someones underling at the very bottom of the pyramid. His pride did not have much power in this battle since he has been sleeping outside and going off scraps for the past 2 weeks, with a sigh of defeat he looked at the quest board to begin his time again as nothing more than a schmuck at the bottom. Within a few seconds he eyed a poster, reading the title Spades decided this would be the one to start out his new life with, he made a motion to grab the paper but a green tinted pop up window appeared before he could even touch the piece of paper, Spades jumped in surprise at the sudden appearance of something in his face. He looked around hoping no one saw his show of fear in hopes he can save what little dignity he has left. In annoyance he read the contents of the window and all he saw was “Accept quest?” , without hesitation he pressed yes on the window and it disappeared with a “beep” but it soon showed back up again with a “boop” and it displayed some information about the quest, “Recover the furs of 3 Frenmic Rabbits, and bring back to Reyla Okari. Additional info: Do not return the furs damaged” With a a press of a button Spades made the window disappear, “alright I accepted the thing. Next step is to find out where the whatever rabbits are at.” the confused werecat said as he began to stand in front of the quest board confused on where to go exactly.

"Is it called Ceramic Rabbit?"

---

It has been a week or two after the apocalypse happen. Truthfully, Ame never keeps track on the days, she enjoys every day to the fullest, her new hobby keeps her time out from boredom. She creates a new song and performs it in a different place with the People of the land as the audience. Not only once she got a great cheer from her audience, she takes a gratitude towards it. Her accommodation was never a big problem for this past few days, some of her audience offer her to stay at their home for one day. At first, she is okay with the idea, however gradually she felt wrong using their audience like this.


That's the reason why she is around the Plaza looking for some idea on how to get money. She didn't read any guidelines about this game before she plays, so she has zero knowledge on what this game has to offer her. She may play some MMO before, but every MMO she plays is different from each other, she don't know if she can compare those with this game. This is her first fantasy MMO, she not sure how far the resemblances are.


She has checked that dying is not a big deal for now if she died she would be revived in the Cathedral, but the idea of dying still not a good idea of her. However, that means go hunting won't be an issue right now. The thing that makes her hesitate is whether she will get any money just from killing a monster or not if it did will it worth enough for her to pay or an inn.


She could try to be a seller, but right now she doesn't have any item that she could sell. The only she had right now are her flute and her leather armor. Both of them she couldn't sell it, it is a matter of surviving.


Suddenly she saw a cute fellow standing in front of a certain board. Although she said a fellow, the one who she saw is a werecat, a black fur cat that stands taller than her. She has a bit rough demeanor which she reminds her of a real cat. She chuckles a bit. Suddenly an idea pops up in her mind


"hey..may I disturb you a bit? what is the great way to earn money?"
she approaches him and asks away her question until she realizes how stupid she was.That cat guy has been standing in front of a quest board, she just realizes that now.


A quest, that would be a great way to get money or at least materials. Let see...she checks the available quest on the board and she spotted a rabbit were mentioned.


She read the detail of the quest, she was asked to collect some bunny fur and brings them to a man called Reyla Okari. Hmm..the price is not too shabby as long she didn't damage the good.


okay then, she accepts the quest. And now she doesn't know where to go or to do.
She looks at the cat face.
'Errmmm....welll...sorry for the stupid question earlier, but where could I find a ceramic rabbit? is that the name of the monster?"

[Finale]

It was just another day in Elder Tale. Thankfully most of the 'oh noooes we are not gonna be stuck here forevers!?' had died down, thank goodness. Nothing she hated more than whining. Especially when it was such a gift to be in this world! Finale would look herself over in a nearby shop's large window. No blemishes, no wrinkles, no debt and you got powers to boot! Sure the food for the most case tasted like bland cardboard, but that was one of the things she was willing to live with. Finale would smile widely to herself, admiring her new body and play with her very long braid of shiny gray hair.

She would nod to herself and make her way, like she had been doing for a while now, around the Plaza, mainly people watching. She would be often sit there, taking in people's choices when it came to customization and would tilt her head this way and that way, trying to figure out if they went with something closer to their 'real' selves, or if they went the full fantasy route? She did find it hilarious at one point, in that this cute little girl, what some might call a... what was it? OH! One of those lolicon's dream girls... only for her to open her cute little mouth and this deep voice of a quite burly sounding man came out. Oh noes, dreams shattered! She had to hold back a loud 'cackle' at that revelation.

Though as she passed by these two, who seemed busy at the quest board, her hands still playing with her beautifully long braid, she would have something pop up onto her UI. Which was always a bit of a surprise to her, kind of like almost an immersion break, but she did find them useful anyways. She would look to the little 'screen' in front of her and tapped her plush lips once or twice before she then clicks on it and investigates where it was coming from.

Where this.. cat person and this little girl were already gathering at. She would slowly press herself between the two, saying, in her sweetest voice, a smile on her face "Excuuuuse me." She then looks the quest over and hmm's, tilting her head before commenting aloud "Seems like the hardest parts would be finding these... rabbits and taking their fur without actually damaging it." She then leans back, taking a step back away from the two to let them enjoy their personal space again. She would then smile and her eyes would glint for a second "I am down for this! We only need three, right?"

She pushes on the 'accept' button on her 'screen' and then grins before looking between the two of them. "Oh, I take it you two are doing the same quest right? So... team up? Or do I just run off ahead and take the rabbits for myself?" She giggles and waves her hand, obviously teasing "I would not do that, that would be mean." She smiles to the both of them in her sweetest of smiles, her hands pushed together in a rather 'pleased with myself' manner.

[Spades]

    Within basically no time at all after he began to think of where to go, a small white girl with purple hair walked up to Spades and asked him about earning money. The appearance of the girl was unexpected to the man and he was stuck on how to respond, it seemed to be the right choice to hesitate because she came to her own conclusion and spotted the quest board. Without any influence from Spades himself she took the same quest that Spades had just accepted himself, then found that she also knew that he was lost. He was hoping and dreading at the same time that she knew the way. Unfortunately she was also lost on where the rabbits were, Spades was about to say something about two blind people leading each other to the new girl but once more another girl shows up to their small location. The new arrival was average height and weight for a girl and more weirder than the purple haired girl that showed up this one had grey hair but the thing that caught him off the most was her… natural assets. This one’s approach was a bit different than the previous one, she inserted herself between Spades and the small purple haired girl. Normally this would cause a violent reaction from Spades if a male did this but since it was a female he instinctively scanned her, due to this action his mind was slammed with a large jumble of thoughts to his current situation. The two main ones being: boobs and girls like animals enough to let down their guard, he didn’t really listen to whatever was being said due to the new appearance in his personal space.


    Thankfully she didn’t stick in between them for long as she did the same actions Spades has done, without missing a beat she stepped out from his and the girls space and said something about fur. Still entranced by the action of stepping in his personal space and his vision and thoughts being consumed by cleavage Spade stood there staring at her with a softened expression for more than a few seconds. With a shake of his head and a cough the recovered man centered his thoughts and said only “yeah” in a way of seeming like he was paying attention and he was lost in thought even though he clearly was not, thanks to that appearance of two people depending on his direction his old habits came up again and he said with a brief “hold on”, turned around and reached his hand out and forcefully turned around the nearest person within his eyesight excluding the two girls, this happened to be a man in really large and heavy armor.


    This wasn’t much trouble to turn the person himself but he seemed to be rather miffed about being handled, the werecat was kinda short for time so he made sure he was at his full height to stare down the man so he would shut up about his complaints and answer his questions. Maybe it was because of Spades being a head taller than him or more than likely the two girls behind him did something he stopped talking long enough for Spades to question him ,“Where are the rabbits?”, was all he said. The man stood in thought for a few seconds and suddenly came to the realization that Spades and co. were probably referring to the quest for collecting Frenmic rabbit fur. He made pointed in to Spades right and told him it was a 5 minute walk, not really wanting more baggage than he already has, the monk said to the armored man “Thanks, don’t need more help.” and proceeded to walk towards the direction he was pointed to go. Not without returning to the two girls and speaking briefly “This way”, he was pretty much sure that either one of them would have things to say on the way to their destination but to avoid damaging his already hurt pride he chose not to fully turn around to answer them but only turn his head and nod or grunt on answers he only needed one word for, fully choosing to keep his eyes forward. He’s sure that they came up with questions for each other but more than likely he felt that he was being asked questions that he clearly needed more than one word to answer, when this did happen he did not answer and kept walking in silence. On the off chance that one of them placed themselves in front of his eyesight he looked directly up, this was obviously one of the more trying times since he came to this game world and he’s pretty sure they noticed.

    In what he felt to be forever he came to the entrance or rather exit to the area he needed to be, it was an open field with lots of different colored flowers and more annoyingly, lots of creatures within said flowers. With an exasperated sigh Spades looked around the nearest rabbit and unfortunately noticed that it was more than a few meters away from him, he could either sneak up on it or simply run to it and attempt to force it into a corner. His decision didn’t take long though since he was put through many trials already and the sky was still mostly red with a few tints of blue, the monk needed to let loose some aggression. He took a deep breath and said to himself “Nightwing stance”, signifying in his own way that he intended to go on the attack. Spades got low with one hand on the ground partially imitating the position a pool player takes when leaning on the table and eyed his target, the game identified this and a green health bar with the name “Frenmic Rabbit” appeared in his eyesight. His target acquired he charged at the creature planning to simply chase it and either punch, kick or preferably grab it and strangle it to death to prevent damage to the fur.

"Are you a perverted cat or a gentleman..or in this case, a gentlecat"

---

A newcomer sneaks in between them, a long gray hair with a wide violet eye and great assets that could fool many males or girls who have a taste on racks.How does she know about that? Her friend who stood up for her back then was a bisexual and often told her about the great of racks until things happen and she lost her. The girl talks in a forced sweet voice, which irritates her, a forced cutesy act is one of the several things that ticks her off. She mentions about the rabbit, looks like she takes the same quest as we are.



The werecat obviously ogling on her breast and didn't listen to her seriously, Lamenta sighed.

'pervert' The bard mumbled under her breath and act like nothing happened. She noticed a man with awkwardly too large and heavy armor suit, looks like The werecat notices him too and without wasting any movement he ask the man about the bunny location and lead the group to a field. The field is wide painted with a different kind of flower, she might enjoy the scenery if the field is only has a flower on it. The young bard notices a young pittered boar grazing on the field docile, looks like it won't fight us if we didn't disturb them. Other than the boar, there are several bunny jumps across the field. Lamenta marks a single bunny to examine the creature.



A level one Frenmic rabbit, it looks like an actual rabbit from the real world. Lamenta once had a rabbit as a pet, she knows how to handle a rabbit. However, she doesn't know how much is the resemblance with the real bunny. She tried to approach it, but they jump away avoids her. This might be tricky, the sky is turning blue from red tint sky. It would take a quite while if the bard is going to grab the rabbit with her hand. Lamenta notices that the werecat already took a stance to a certain another rabbit, but she wasn't certain if he will manage to catch that bunny. The rabbit has an uncanny sense of a danger. A teamwork would do the quest faster.



'Hey, perverted cat and grey-haired girl... I have a proposal, why don't we work together so we could finish the quest faster? For starter, how about we introduce ourselves first or I will stick to call you with that nickname'



'My name is Lamenta, an inspiring idol who also a punching tank bard' She useless attempt to catch rabbit fully known that the rabbit will just jump away. Even if they refuse that idea, she already had an idea on how to handle the rabbit

[Finale]

She walked along with the two, never in front of, nor to the side of, but slightly behind. She would tilt her head, eye'ing the both of them up. The cat seemed easy to 'distract' but the bard, she seemed like she wasn't buying her whole nice facade. Which was a shame, she was actually trying that time... for the most case. 'Stupid hair, looks like an anime cliche reject'... BUT she would push those thoughts aside as they finally arrive to where the rabbits were. Finale would look around, watching their movements for a moment, targeting the nearest one, she would stop JUST before she would begin casting and then looks to the bard, tilting her head slightly.

'But, that's why we have our icons, you ditz, they show our names anyways.' Finale would think this, that pleasant smile always upon her face. "Oh, that is true, forgive my lack of manners. I am Finale, a simple enchanter. I have a spell that can hold down the rabbits and another that can let you hit harder, mister Spades." She says, trying to appear respectful. Though that being said she would look to the bard and tilts her head slightly, her long braid having fallen over her shoulder as she would then move her hand downwards to slowly grab out her crystal ball. A weird looking thing with a reddish tint to it, giving off a slightly creepy vibe.

"We might as well let one another know what we're capable of, if we're going to take advantage of this whole teamwork thing." Finale commented, letting out a soft giggle as she then looks between the two. It was a simple enough suggestion, though looking between them, with no healer, she hoped that these rabbits were as harmless as they appeared, otherwise that kitty cat might end up being black AND blue before this quest was over. She just has to at least pretend to be positive, trying to make contacts, connections and confidants are part of the great game after all, besides one of them might end up taking her right to the highest levels this world has to offer. She was SO going to need more abilities, it really did suck to be level one.

Finale looked to the rabbits again, trying to think of a way to get their furs, without damaging them. Wait, did they actually need to kill the rabbits, could they just give them to that quest giver alive and let HER deal with it? I mean technically it didn't say that they had to bring back dead rabbits. Though that being said, this world was different than the real one. Once you killed a monster, it would poof into bubbles and drop money and/or items. She would decide to voice this "As for our quest. I think we should kill one, to see what it drops. Since the monsters here do 'poof' into money and/or items, maybe that's how we get the furs without damaging them? Kind of how some monsters drop items, but those items never are broken or damaged?" Finale suggested, looking between the two of them.

[Spades]

    While in mid sprint towards the rabbit Spades heard “Perverted cat”, being said out loud. Most cases he could somewhat throw off the mental trauma of being called any name, but since his day has been one trial after the next this appeared to be the straw that broke the camels back. The man’s pride could not really take it and figuratively ceased to exist within the werecat, he stopped his charge at that moment and almost tripped over himself because of his momentum. With his near fall he alerted the rabbit he was aiming for and it ran in to the nearest patch of flowers, this would not have been a problem but all the flowers in the area were teeming with life and as such they were all moving at once doing and excellent job concealing creatures that were smaller than the flowers and making it a pain to track them down if they weren’t in front of him.
    The annoyance of losing his target was near the bottom of his list, what concerned him the most was attempting to help his broken pride recover. Lucky for Spades he was still having his back to the two girls so he had some time to fake his emotions for the appropriate response. He cycled between sadness, embarrassment, anger, annoyed, and stoic. Spades switched between these while the two girls were talking, telling their names, and proposing team work, with a deep breath and quiet exhale Spades turned around and decided to keep his face blank. It did not hide his real feelings whatsoever since his ears were sticking out perpendicular to his body position currently, it also did not help that his ears were not long or wide enough for Spades to notice their position.
    With Spades returning to the two with a quickened walk the monk took in when they were talking about, teamwork would be nice since he’s sure that the request calls for taking full furs and not splitting it into thirds. After the grey haired girl introduced herself as Finale and the purple haired one said her name was Lamenta, and adding that she punches things as well, Spades not really in the current state for long sentences he said “Spades. Monk.”, with his introduction being done he pondered for a moment and looking at the two of them he said “Party please? I don’t know how.” even with a non-existent pride the monk was still interested in how the bard said she was going melee things to death. As soon as either one would make the party invitation Spades would accept it and find a way to regain his non-existent pride.

"Would you like a cup of tea"

---

The way he asks and the way he introduces himself, perhaps Lamenta might jump to the conclusion really fast, Spades is not a perverted cat, he just a socially awkward type of guy, don't know what to do if a girl suddenly approaches him. However, it still bit bug her that he didn't show any reaction when she comes.



If lamenta didn't mistranslate on what Spades said, he is asking to form a party. That might be a good idea, knowingly that this field is quite large and no way they will communicate by shouting. Let see..... Lamenta hopes to invite party is the same like other MMO she played before. The bard adds the player who wants she invited as a party to her friend list, then form a party.



'Okay the party has been formed'

'Hmm let see, I can be a makeshift tank..for now I am lacking any support skill other than being a tank or luring aggro to one player. I believe I could aggro one of the rabbits to make them not run away'



Lamenta quick turns her interface to give a telepathy message, she covers one fo her ear so other people won't listen to her. She put Spades as the recipient and gives out a short message;



'I apologize for being rude before. I will treat you to a nice cup of tea as a token of apology later on if you like'



that ends her telepathy. She faces toward Finale, thinking for a plan to make what Finale's suggest to reality.



'Let see, Finale why don't you restrain the rabbit and I raise their aggro to avoid they will run away again. Hmm...then Spades gives the final blow?'



Suddenly a weird idea pops up in her mind when she looks at her flute and smile. Something that she won't do in real life, but a weird feeling built up inside her and she can't describe what it is for now.



'Spades you know about baseball right? I wanted to try to play baseball, you throw the rabbit to me and I will do the rest, please'

[Finale]

Finale blinked, watching the two of them share and image and then hears the bards plan. She blinks again, slightly confused as she would then look to Spades, who, as a Monk, is supposed to be the tank and the bard is supposed to be, traditionally, from what that guide she looked up once before deciding bards were boring, were mainly support with some dps options. Finale opened her mouth to say something, but then closed it, a smile slowly forming back onto her face as she looks to the two of them. 'If her plan fails, well that's more of her own fault and far be it from me to rub it in her face'.

Finale would softly stroke over her red and slightly misshapen crystal ball, looking like it was roughly carved instead of finely crafted. She would then hold it out in front of her, as if the thing was going to blast out something at any moment. She would then look from Spades to Lamenta, she would then tilt her head slightly at the suggestion of baseball, wondering if those rabbits were actually going to go off into the distance.. or was there perhaps going to be a splash of blood or..whatever monsters produce other then 'bubbles' and loot when they die?

Either way, she didn't want to be front stage to when 'that' was going to happen. So she scoots her way away from the bard. She would look to her spell list for a second. Normally she would cast Keen Edge, but the Monk didn't have any gauntlets or tonfa or knuckle dusters or anything! She grumbled to herself and then tapped her chin before she then let out a soft sigh and focused on a nearby rabbit. She thought for a second, having watched Spades carefully, he didn't have his UI active and certainly wasn't pressing anything.. maybe it was a thought.. or one of those anime's? She let out a soft sigh and focused her attention on the rabbit "Astral..." She says, the skirt of her outfit fluttering a little bit and her hair also kind of fluttering in the air. Her purple eyes focused on the rabbit and squinted for a second, her body having a purplish glow to it for a second "Bind!" She extends her arm out, pushing that crystal ball forwards as the energy seems to gather into it for a second and then vanishes.

Before Finale could mock the seeming failure of a spell suddenly purple chains erupted from the ground around the rabbit and quickly wrapped about it's body, holding it firmly down! Finale bit her bottom lip, hoping the thing wouldn't be in pain for much longer. She didn't like hurting cute and innocent animals, people sure, they usually were a bunch of bastards anyways, but animals? She didn't have anything against them typically. After casting the spell, all she could do was watch, firstly, she was amazed that was the first ever time she cast a real spell...that didn't just revolve her wishing someone harm and 'sending out energy' or some of that other made up crap. Here energy, magic and willpower were given license to become tangible and real! Oh yeah, she was going to like this world... a lot in fact!

[Spades]

    After he requested that one of the women in front of him make a party due to his inability the purple haired girl named Lamenta made the party and sent him both a friend invite. Spades was slightly shocked at how willing she was willing to be a friend even though they just met that same day but he figured that he will never meet the two of them again even with him being listed as their “friend”, he accepted both windows. Within a few seconds of pressing yes on both of the windows he heard the sounds of a telephone ringing in his head, he snapped to look at where it was coming from. He looked at finale first and she was looking at him with nothing out of the ordinary, he then looked at Lamenta and she had her hands to her head with her pinky and thumb extended in the shape of a phone. He guessed she was the cause of it, she looked at him expecting him to answer the still ringing in his head; he mimicked what she as doing with her hand and placed it to his ear making the ringing stop but now a voice was resounding in his head. From what he remembered of her earlier this was definitely Lamenta talking right into his head, the weird part is that her mouth was not moving at all but her voice was still ringing in his head. The initial feeling of the matter gone he focused and found her mid sentence talking about being a tank for the three of them, now Spades was not that well versed in video games like his siblings but he knew the purpose of the roles enough to understand that her being a tank is really iffy considering she has a instrument for a weapon. Unfortunately Spades was totally unaware that he was in a telepathic call so his thoughts spilled out into Lamenta’s head ‘why is this little white girl trying to fight toe to toe with things, she looks like she can’t even take a punch to the nose. She should just sit back and watch so she doesn’t become a hindrance for me’ after she had propositioned him a game of baseball Spades looked at her flute and once more thinking ‘that thing doesn’t look like it can support a glass of beer let alone used as a bat’. Spades responded out loud fully ignorant of the nature and intention of the call “I would rather have beer. And let’s just hit them so we don’t damage it.”, hoping that she would gladly accept as well as being done with her call to him he dropped his hand.
    After informing Lamenta of his opinion of the plan Finale began to do something that was fully foreign to Spades but he knew something was going to happen, he was hoping it would be something to help lock down the elusive vermin. While looking at Finale trying to see what she was going to do she spoke a word that he didn’t quite catch and suddenly to his surprise and shock her skirt lifted up a bit. At that point Spades turned around so he would not be seen as a degenerate again, he was not going to risk his name being linked to those actions, Spades did hear the second word she said more clearly than the first and he looked out into the field for a change or anything. At first there was no change and Spades was curious why Finale said bind, but then a nearby rabbit had chains sprout from the ground and tighten around it effectively stopping it’s movement. This was a blessing to Spades as he looked at Finale nodded with a smirk and nodded in thanks and charged straight into the fields once more with renewed vigor, as he got closer he didn’t want to take a risk and cocking his right arm back he yelled out “Zoom Punch!” and thrusted his hand forward his arm extending farther than it supposed to go and out towards the rabbit. The moment he felt fur on his own he stopped his forward momentum and grabbed the rabbit at the same time, turning immediately he began lifting his hand up over his head and pulling his arm back to it’s original length, essentially he pulled the rabbit from afar and using the momentum of his arm returning to normal he slammed it in front of the monk. The rabbit made a sound he never heard before and it also bounced a little when it hit the ground, taking the chance to continue his assault while it was chained still, Spades placed his hand around it’s neck lifting it and tensed his muscles and spoke once more “Iron Body”, a iron like color originating from his face rapidly spread to the rest of his body turning him into a furry iron man. Once he saw it spread to his hands Spades began to punch the rabbit in it’s skull in hopes that he would not damage the fur if or when they have to skin it.

"SORRY FLUFFY EAR"

---

Spades  Finale

The bard feels dejected and bit relieved when Spades reject her idea. The bard just realizes how scary the thought of her own idea. It is a borderline psychotic one, it sends chills to her spine after she gives it a second thought. Who would be in a right mind wanted to play baseball when the rabbit is that fluffy and cute. The purple haired girl slaps her own cheek. She focused herself the matter on her hand right now.



The targeted bunny who had been bind by Finale using her skill, admittedly the way she chants her skill is quite dignified. several chains sprout from the ground entangled the bunny. The bunny trashed around to break free from the chain, but the bunny is not strong enough to break it by using purely by force. Spades swiftly without wasting any movement, engaging combat with the chain bound rabbit. A series of punch delivered by spades, which left an impression to Lamenta.



In the real world, Lamenta takes Aikido as her self-defense, several times she was forced to practice her skill outside the dojo due to some bully issues. Gradually, she formed an unorthodox fighting technique that surrounds around grappling technique. However, admittedly she never has a technique to give frontal damage, all she can do is misdirect the momentum of punches and gives it a twist to lock the opponent movement.



The way Spades fighting, it gives an expression that he is used to fighting with brute force. A thought came up on Lamenta's mind, that idea should be put off until the quest is over. She makes a mental note back on her mind to remind her later. The latest development is the rabbit has been held by Spades on his arm struggling to break free.



After several second of effort on trashing around. The rabbit manage to break free from Spades's arm, It health has been damaged quite big only left a little of HP. The rabbit put on guard towards Spades, subtly the rabbit move backward bit by bit.



"It's <<Showtime!>>"



Lamenta punches his left palm and lets out a big smile, a spotlight shone down to lamenta's current position, ignoring the fact that it is currently a daytime, the surrounding other the spotlight turn to dim a bit for a short time. <<Showtime!>> is one of beginner skill of idol class, its effect of luring the aggro of a monster toward to player where the spotlight lay to, in this case is Lamenta. The effect is working to the rabbit's aggro, it faces toward Lamenta and jump aggressively. Plunge its sharp teeth to Lamenta.



A moment before the rabbit reaches to Lamenta. She turns her body side way and turns again to the rabbit's jumping path welcoming it with her back hand. Using all of her momentum that generates from turning, the bard swats the rabbit away to the ground. It bounces many time letting out a small whimper which makes her anxious.



'I am so sorry fluffy ears. But, this is for surviving.' she thought to herself when she swats it away.



After it bounces spectacularly, giving some damage which depletes the health bar to zero. The rabbit disperses to a bubble of light, leaving <<Rabbit's fur>> as one of its drops.



'hmm...' she ponders quietly in her mind.

"Looks like this is how we get the rabbit's fur." Lamenta took the <<Rabbit's fur>> and examine it.

"How about we continue with this way of attacking. We take a roll for the final blow, I will direct the enemy attention using <<Showtime!>> to the person who got the role at that time. The one who deals the final blow will have the right to get <<Rabbit's fur>>, sound like a good idea to you guys?"

The bard observes her companions, she thinks that is a nice idea. Their teamwork is not that bad for the first timer. Ths is something that I, we can be proud of. There is still some furs that they still need to collect.

LAMENTA

[Finale]

Just sat there, watching the monk quite literally punching an oversized bunny to death before watching it just POP into loot. She then tilted her head slightly, 'So the monsters in this world die and then turn into loot?' She thought about that for a moment, wondering what happens when a person, like herself, dies? Do they pop into bubbles and loot as well? She was in no position to even inquire after that line of thinking for now so decided to instead focus on the task at hand. Looking to the bard, she then looks to the other rabbits around and then looked to her status screen, trying to deduce something before she just asks it out loud. "And how many experience points are we getting for these rabbits?" She asks, she wanted to expand her skills, fill out with more spells, more 'toys' to play with. But from what she could remember, they only got abilities every other level or so, which was annoying, but she couldn't change that fact now.

She listen to the bard's words and nods slowly, though that being said, her class isn't really known for it's damage output, in fact it's kind of the exact opposite. She would let out a soft sigh and then aim her crystal ball forwards, aiming it, like a scope, towards the next rabbit. Finale speaks the words again, her clothing and hair fluttering in the wind slightly as neon purple 'cords' suddenly sprang from the ground to keep the rabbit locked in place. Though this time, she decided to have a bit of fun, maybe something more exciting to get these people's blood rushing. She would aim her crystal ball at a different target. She would whistle the Monk's way and then motions towards the other rabbit before he'd hear her say "Astral... Torment!" And an indigo bolt shot forth from her crystal ball to then strike the rabbit in the side, chains of darkest purple spring from the site and began to tightly squeeze around the rabbit, to which instantly looked her way and begin to bound towards her.

Finale saw this and would smile before she shot forth yet another indigo bolt, hitting the rabbit and stacking yet another round of the DoT upon the target. She would then jump behind the Monk, letting him know that it was going to have to go through him to get to her. Was it devious? Certainly, but was it more entertaining and faster to boot? Very much so!

[Spades]

    While Spades had the rabbit in his grasp it was gnawing at his hands trying to get free, thankfully Spades skill enabled him to take a bit more bites from the rodent while he continued his assault. The rodent was able to get a dig into his skin and began to dig deeper in to the monk’s iron colored skin, Spades recoiled and let go of the creature while yelling curse words in pain. He was about to use his anger to initiate his next attack but Lamenta used a rather odd skill that somehow made the area around them darken and a spotlight shined on Lamenta herself, he’s not sure what she did but whatever it was the rabbit jumped from him to her. Didn’t take long for her to finish his work, she did a spin move and struck the rabbit with a backhand exploding it in to blocks of lights as the result. In a way the still surprises Spades, Lamenta let him and Finale know that they don’t have to physically skin their targets. Spades was looking around for what exactly he could find as his next target until he heard a whistle, Spades head snapped to find the source of the sound and without any difficulty at all he found out that Finale was the one that wanted his attention. Spades really did not want to look at her more than he needed to because even though he knew not to do so, his eyes would wander if he looked at her too long.
    Thankfully she meant business because the pointed her odd glass object at a rabbit and spoke words that he once again could not really hear clearly save for the word “Torment” and a purple shot came from her weapon and struck the rabbit clean in the chest; chains once more wrapping around the rabbit but this time it didn’t stop it’s movement but rather seemed to tighten around it’s chest in what seemed an attempt to strangle it like a snake would. She seemed to draw the ire of the rabbit as it did not decide to run away but rather to charge at Finale like she was holding it’s young hostage. Spades would admit that he did not know how exactly he would react in the situation and found himself standing and watching the situation unfold, Finale fired one more shot then she stepped behind Spades in a way that told him that she wanted him to take care of the oncoming enemy. Spades obliged by quickly diving to the left of his position stopping and balancing himself his left arm, briefly exposing Finale to the rabbit’s bounding assault, then using his left arm as the pivot point and his right arm as extra support he used his weight to rotate himself quickly counter-clockwise to spin his legs in the opposite direction that the rabbit is traveling. The result of the monk’s actions was the as the rabbit was charging in at full speed it received a iron colored shin to the face, it’s body turned to blocks of light before it’s health bar could fully empty out. Within Spades sight he got the notification that he had received a pelt of rabbit fur as well as his quest counter saying (1/3), he returned to balancing himself on his hands for a brief moment before he transitioned to his feet in one smooth motion, thanking himself for getting the acrobat subclass or else he would have busted his arse trying that fancy stunt. He wiped the dirt that was on his hands on his now black fur before he looked at his party members and spoke in a monotone way, “One more, let's get it done.” hoping that either of the two would open up for Spades to do what he has always done to enemies.

"I AM NO A TEAM PLAYER"

Spades  Finale

Note: If you wanted, you can skip the rest fighting the rabbit.

Without any time to spare, The enchanter unleashed one of her skill to prevent the rabbit's mobility, Spades cover it by launching a fast attack without letting the rabbit make a counter. A smile rose from the purple hair girl enjoying the sight. Since, or the longest time, she was never a team player. Mainly due no one wanted to form a group with her, she surrounded by resentment and hatred or by a group of people who cares for themselves worrying that if they defend her in some way means to mess with the people who harbor a questionable hatred toward her. She shook her head, she expected to be a turmoil between them on teamwork aspect. They were a complete stranger before this quest started. She feels delighted.



Perhaps with this group, she could make a run test on her skills. She never tried on every skill in her disposal, the bard guess if anything happens, she could ask the enchanter to restrain her movement.



Before she started launching her next move. Lamenta takes out her flute and building her tempo to prepare her skill. In a matter of second, she enters to Adagio by in the state of Adante she could strengthen the skill of Phantom Ensemble. After entering the state of Adagio, Lamenta strikes one of the rabbit in the vicinity with her flute and activate her other skill called <<Battle Conduct>>, it spends some of her MP that means the duration of Phantom Ensemble will be cut short when she has full MP. An exclamation point appears at the top of rabbit head,it aggro has been attracted to me since there is no prior aggro before the bard.



"Finale or Spades...Give the rabbit a good pounding while it attracted to me for five seconds. There might also a chance for it to be blown away three meters away from me'" Lamenta shout to her companion hope they notice her request.



The bard takes a safe distance between them and casts <<Phantom Ensemble>> a violent air generates out from the flute engulfing her surrounding with the wide of one and a half meters, The bard notice her MP decrease gradually in a slow pace. The rabbit jumps toward Lamenta with the intention of landing a damage. Tough luck, the rabbit shoved away by the violent away three meters away from the bard position.



She couldn't stop the music or the skill will be disturbed. So all she can do is giving a glare on them and hope a silent message of "Hey hurry up I can't hold this long enough" understood by them.
