The girl who dabbled in the same class shared by those super edgy black magicians had reached Snowdonia. Midori was wearing a rather fancy-looking outfit that resembled a cross between business and party attire. It was a white collared shirt underneath a striped blue-black vest and completed with a black blazer as a top. She had decided to wear a blue skirt of a similar color as the vest, with black stockings underneath. Probably her choice wouldn't have been the best of ideas considering that the environment around her was a cold snowfield but that's what she had other equips for. This fancy attire was actually just a rented Vanity Clothing that masked over her actual outfit. It was actually a school uniform adorned with a warm outer coat that resembled a mage's coat. Probably not all that better anyway, if you thought about it. Honestly, there was more to worry about than mismatched clothing. As relatively cold as it was, it wasn't that bad. It would be roughly a few hours prior to her appearance at the Snowdonia Winter Ball, as the raven-haired Heretic was exploring the area around Snowdonia. The snow glistened under a morning sun, brightening the area extremely well even in the shade. It seemed that the early hours prior to the ball's opening made the place a relatively deserted destination. It was strange to see the holiday decorations suddenly ramp up in frequency the closer she approached the new location. From the moment she would have otherwise entered the area and the mini-map in her interface changed from Avon to Snowdonia, the place was originally just any other snow-covered grassland. It was only once the minimap changed to show the location as [Snowdonia Complex] that the relaxing winter wonderland changed to a place that looked as though it was made from just about every kind of Christmas stereotype possible. There were lots of holly, wreaths, ornament-covered Christmas trees, and even some lamp posts that were decorated with mistletoe just covertly to the side of the bulb. Midori just barely noticed the decoration as she was about to walk under the lamppost. Her eyes took a glance up and she calmly moved on at an admittedly faster pace. "Stay clear of suspiciously low-hanging lamp posts. Good to know." Good thing there was no one else here. Especially those people who voted for that shipping in the LH RP awards between her and some other Adventurer she'd never heard of in her life. Maybe those people had the wrong person. In any case, Midori noticed that the snowfield just about a hundred meters away from where the ball would have been held was a small grove. She noticed a couple of monsters that were otherwise rather unfamiliar to her. The magician accessed her interface and gave a quick analysis of their relative levels. There was a small snowman the size of a child, a rather ordinary-looking festive creature that slowly waddled around on the frozen ground. Jolly Snowman, Level 5. She wasn't a Scholar, so the amount of information that could have been obtained from this glance was somewhat limited. The girl decided to experiment a little on this monster in order to get a greater understanding of its special characteristics. She accessed her inventory and summoned Allul-0, a wooden mannequin roughly the same size as the monster. As she controlled the puppet forward, the curious puppetmaster wondered just how this kind of monster reacted to other characters. A puppet counted as a targetable character in terms of most monsters, so she figured that in the odd chance that the monster was actually aggressive, then it would immediately attack. Midori moved the puppet closer, trying to maneuver it as close as possible without startling it. Let's just hope that someone wouldn't just stumble onto the area and suddenly KS her in order to complete some kind of quest. Fingers crossed.

[Awatsuki]

After a while of traveling and many and many monsters killed on the way later after I went off the road after smelling something good I reach Snowdonia. Currently I wear my custom made armor I created earlier looking like schooluniform without sleeves and few protectors made of red metall on my hands and boots and also on my left side. Those who are looking good will realise that under the leather vest a chainmail vest is hidden. Since I reached the cold enviroment there I grabbed a long black trenchcoat I'm wearing now to protect myself from winter and black stockings underath. On my left side there are two scabbards with japanese style swords. One is regular Katana, made in a black and red theme with the collor of cold steel on the blade and the other is a wakizashi, shorter under it, but it's sharp and well-made. It's smaller size also makes the dps lowered less than when using another weapon as big as Katana. On my cheek there was a barely noticable scar, like if I got hit with another sharp sword like weapon some time ago. This strange looking armor and outfit was actually characterised as a chainmail armor, which is a very untypical for an assassin like Awatsuki, and many were wondering what is her class thanks to her weapon combination and the armor, but thanks to her Heatsink passive skill she is able to wear it without penalties. Also the way armor is made allows me to have enough movement and protection without making noice during stealth action.

I finally walk into the area around Snowdonia. The glistering snow crunched underfoot when one was walking around too carelessly and the morning sun sometimes shined in the eyes from the endless world coated in white cover. It's now only few hours prior to the ball's opening, however that's something that Awatsuki doesn't know. I get ckiser ti tge area seeuing christmas decorations more often than before. How useless... I think on the inside. Suddenly my minimad changed the location name from Avon to [Snowdonia Complex]. I look on it a bit suprised and look around once more. It seemed like if a crazy decorator went on rampage and totally overdid his work. Nearly everything was decorated. Holly, wreaths, christmas trees, lamp posts. Everything was decorated like this. I walk under a lamp post and luuk upwards to see a missletoe. "A missletoe?" I say to myself confused. Few guys aproach me looking at me with smiles. Suddenly one of them tries to grab me but he just ends with his nose broken by a quick punch of my hand guarded in red steel. "I have to ask you to keep your distance." I say simply as I walk further not knowing why did he do that sudden movement. Why did he try to attack me? I realy can't understand people I meet there sometimes... I think to myself.

I climb on a nearby cottage and look around after the group left the area. Standing on the roof my raven collored hair and my trenchcoat flutter in the wind. With a glance of my red eyes I spot a girl fighting a... A snowman? Anyways it was a snowman of small size which looked somewhat festive. Jolly Snowman, Level 5. I check him up and down. It couldn't be that strong. And with my high dps and knowledge from the real world I was able to kill better opponents. "Death Stinger" I say as I coat my weapon in poison, while I unequip the smaller blade via interface holding the scabbard with my katana in my left hand. "Silent Move. Hiden Entry." I whisper as I activate two of my skills as I see another Jolly Snowman aproach the girl from behind. Did it just respawn? I give it a quick thought. As I disappear from the sight of most of the creatures and people around I jump of the roof moving slowly towards him. Moment before he gets into the effective range I say a thing simply in my normal, calm low voice. "Fatal Ambush" I say as I swing the blade ripping the snowman with one strike as It pierces through him and his hp drop rapidly. I stand straight now vissible clearly and look towards the puppet. "There are two other targetts which will probably aproach us." I say to the girl before me simply and ready my blade again as I check the area around us.

The Allul-0 puppet stood there and approached the Jolly Snowman from the front. Midori was trying to see if this monster was the type to have an aggro range. Typically with monsters at this level, it seemed that the majority were prone to fighting back only when someone lands the first hit. The wooden mannequin posed provocatively at the monster, taunting it as a result. However, instead of launching an attack, the snowman simply stood there with a curious gaze. Perhaps it was just a non-hostile mob after all. There were a few other ideas she had in mind, but she needed to see if the monster actually gave out experience in the first place. Using her free hand that was not controlling the control bar, Midori opened her inventory and summoned the Starfell Chariot sword. It was a slightly decorated metal sword which was enchanted in order to allow for greater magical affinity. She pointed the tip of the sword forward and a violet aura was starting to emit its presence around the weapon. It wasn't just the sword, but also a jade charm necklace she wore that seemed to react in particular to the spell. The amorphous black substance gathered up into a shadowy ball which seemed to grow larger every second. The Miasma Bullet skill normally had a 2 second cast time, but her equipment was designed specifically to reduce the cast time to 1 second. Even still, that only allowed her to charge the skill even more. The end result was a gigantic orb that seemed ready to burst with its sinister energy. The magician shot the sphere forward, causing it to quickly collide with the monster's body. She merely saw the details of its face seem to melt away as the snowman's body disintegrated into the dark energy. This attack left behind a sinister smoke-like trail emitted from the point of impact. "I suppose it's only just Level 5, but then again-" Suddenly, action! Some girl dropped out of nowhere and defeated another Jolly Snowman that apparently had spawned from behind her. Well now. She had apparently jinxed herself and tempted fate to allow for this bizarre encounter. It also seemed this girl had the common Adventurer tendency to call her attacks, as it was the easiest way to ensure a skill's activation. Fatal Ambush was apparently an Assassin skill from what she heard from Mana a long time before. Come to think of it, it's been a year since she'd met the mute Assassin. Midori had no idea where that girl went, but she had been the only Assassin that Midori actually knew beyond a simple name basis. Anyway! The girl had suddenly appeared to eliminate the one mob before her, which seemed to attract the attention of a couple other monsters in the area. Two other targets. This time it was a Level 20 Naughty Snowman and a Level 10 Crystal Reindeer. Wow, and here she thought this clearing was meant more for beginners to fight. In any case, the Puppeteer had not yet analyzed these two monsters to determine how they reacted, so she was going in slightly blind. Midori didn't have much time to analyze the other girl's level or equipment, but she could tell that the quality of her armor was still that of the basic starter gear. Perhaps the heightened level would have been a challenge, but the Heretic felt it shouldn't have been very overwhelming. "Probably should have stayed a Sorcerer in hindsight." she muttered to herself. The raven-haired girl shouted her next plan to the black-clothed Assassin. "I'll take the snowman in that case!" Weird, her clothing style looked awfully similar to her own. In fact, if it wasn't for her skills tipping her off, Midori probably would have looked more like a melee fighter class. The snowman made aggressive gestures as it approached the little magician. Whether it was because of the acts of aggression performed earlier or the monster's innate nature, it was ready to fight at a moment's notice. She toggled on the Tongue of Nature skill and listened carefully to what the creature apparently had to say. The monster's incomprehensible speech gradually became something she was able to slowly understand. "You think your kind can just beat up our kind for fun, eh! I'll turn you into popsicles!" "Interesting, what flavor?" "T-the flavor of... defeat!" "That's quite generous of you. Now come, let me make you experience that flavor for yourself!" It just occurred to her that the other girl probably may not have the Tongue of Nature skill, therefore she just pegged herself as a weirdo who talked with snowmen. Oh well. She raised the sword and generated a violet light, which scattered into the surrounding atmosphere and reformed as chains that grabbed onto the snowman's twig-like limbs. The chains seemed to hold the monster in place, preventing it from waddling any closer. It was during this opportunity that Midori accessed her inventory and inputted a special command using a Puppeteer skill. An equipment overlay appeared on the puppet's status screen, allowing her to equip her Starter Crystal Ball onto the puppet. Now she was able to wield her customized sword in one hand while controlling a puppet and also a crystal ball by proxy with the other hand. The Heretic activated Centripetal Buffer, which caused the puppet to be surrounded by three spinning crystal balls. "Unfortunately I'm a cheap stunlocker, so apologies if you don't get a turn in." As soon as Shackles of the Sentenced had worn off, the magician triggered the Puppeteer skill, Act One: Exposition. Allul-0's small frame immediately rushed over to the monster and grabbed ahold of the creature. Now, since it was Level 20, the effect wouldn't last even a second if the monster should start resisting. However, the point was to allow the generated crystal balls to repeatedly slam into the target's body. She noted that the snowman's HP was being gradually whittled at a fairly constant rate. She rushed forward, slashing the monster with the enchanted blade. At that moment, the puppet's grip had loosened and the monster was now free. Probably not a good thing in itself, either. Midori chained the attack with the activation of her strongest Puppeteer skill. Act Three: Fateful Encounter caused the already nearby puppet to reel itself back to its user for a moment, only to swirl around and knock the monster down as though it were a yo-yo trick. She took this moment of the monster's vulnerability to chain together another full-power Miasma Bullet skill. The snowman's HP had dropped fairly considerably without it making to make any sort of move, so she needed to stay on the offensive. Fortunately this next shot should mean that only one or two more hits with her sword would defeat it for sure.

[Awatsuki]

The girl turns around as I eliminate the snowman. I look on the two aproaching targets. The information pops up. Level 20 Naughty snowman and level 10 Crystal Reindeer. I sheathe my sword as I check them throughoutly and send the girl party invitation through my interface using my right hand. I quickly look through your name, level and class when your status text appears before me. She mutters something. My ears used to listening and spying from the real life hear you. "If you changed your class the new class probably suits you. Don't regret it." I say simply widening my stance as I measure the reindeer with the look of my red eyes. It's level ten. But if I will avoid getting hit I should be okay. It's just an animal and it should act like a one. Probably snow based abilities from it's look. I measure him, the cold wind making my hair and trenchcoat flutter around me. The girl informs me that she will take the snowman. "Alright. Reindeer shall be my opponent Midori-san." I say simpy with my calm, low voice.

I see the Reindeer use it's [Charge] skill running towards me. It looks like a charge. At this level it will probably kill me instantly. I need to dodge. Dying in there is the same like failure. I will never fail. I dash towards it my hearth beating faster adrenaline produced in my body. This body acts different. I need to learn how to work with it untill it will get better. At least at my real body's level. I jump to side as the reindeer dashes past me. Beside it I rip the blade out of the scabbard leaving long bloody line on it's side. I didn't notice how Midori talked with the snowman.

When the reindeer runs past me it makes a wounded... reindeer sound... and turns around. I stand before it calmly wathching it's movements. The Reindeer realised that I'm not an easy oponent and looks on me. I keep standing there watching it carefully. Suddenly the reindeers antlers start tu shine. I rush towards it sliding under it and avoiding shots from [Festive Shotgun]. I evaded it with my dangerous move and as I'm sliding under it's legs I cut of one of them with a great strike. The reindier cries in pain and kicks me in my chest. If Midori looked behind she probably noticed that I seemed to be skilled enough to evade it, however the body didn't "respond" as fast as I wanted. I groan as my health drop. It's a big amount. More than third of my life. Damn... I need to make this body much faster... I can't handle this combat for long... I need to finish it off now! I think as I fly through the air falling in the snow with a thud. After getting on my legs I rush towards the Reindeer again. Somehow it started a skill named [Snow Curtain] as I get to it. I see my healt drop steadily, feeling the chilling cold. I jump on it's back counting down the last seconds of [Fatal Ambush] respawn. "Eliminate..." I mumble as I grip my blade with reversed grip, blocking the reindeer from bigger movements by sticking the scabbard between it's antlers.

It was rather surprising how quickly she accepted the fact that she now had a battle partner. Sure, this person had showed up out of nowhere. Sure, she had actually predicted the future in a way due to some way of horrible Murphy's Law incident. But did it really matter? Mentor bonuses were great. Midori had accepted the party invite, but she had paid little attention to it in the midst of their combat. As soon as she had shot the fully-charged Miasma Bullet, whittling the monster's HP down to roughly 33%, the HP bar on the top-left corner of her vision flashed. At that same time, the Assassin girl had taken a heavy hit from the other monster's attack. It was about a 40% drop. Midori actually looked at the other girl's status window at this time. Awatsuki, Level 1, Assassin. She did indeed send a Level 1 off against a Level 10 monster, believing that her quick work of the snowman from a moment ago would have been good enough to take on this other monster. It was understandable that a Level 1 fighting a Level 10 monster would have been difficult, roughly along the same lines of difficulty as someone fighting an Elite mob that was just about a similar level as they were. First off, she needed to stall the snowman for a little bit. The girl toggled the Act One: Inciting Event skill in order to cause the puppet to create a taunting gesture that attracted the attention of the disoriented snowman. "What did you say about me, you overgrown action figure!?" It seemed that the snowman would proceed to attacking her puppet for a little bit. She had good confidence in Allul-0's ability to take some of the aggro off her for a little while. Her main priority right now was to assist the lower leveled girl in her fight against the reindeer. It had apparently activated the Snow Curtain skill, striking up a cloud of cold snow that caused gradual chill damage. Shackles of the Sentenced was still on cooldown, so she was unable to bind the monster in order to help the Assassin. Instead, she turned toward the Assassin for her next action. "I'm going to restore your HP, Awatsuki!" she pointed her sword toward the other black-haired girl's direction as black sparks were emitted on its tip. It was probably the first time she had used this particular Heretic skill. It was definitely a healing spell, but it had unusual conventions. For one, the healing provided was a little more efficient than other classes' healing spells, but it was only a temporary healing effect. Essentially, one could consider it along the lines of giving someone pain medication while they're bleeding out. It would certainly block out some of the pain, but it wouldn't heal the wound in the same way that first aid would. Not to mention the Corruption provided by the skill. "Tainted Charity." The skill was cast and the violet light changed to a warm yellow glow as a good amount of the Assassin's HP was restored due to her higher level. "Let's make sure to rest up after this, since the HP you just gained will be lost in a few minutes." She noticed that the other girl's status window now had a new icon appear under her current status effects. It was a black circle with the number 0 appeared in red in its center. The Corruption status effect, she figured. The circle seemed about 20% filled and she presumed that when it was completely filled, it would proceed next to Stage 1 Corruption. The Heretic hadn't actually dealt with Corruption all that much due to its controversial nature. Stage 0 Corruption didn't really make any differences, according to her own experience. She had ventured to even Stage 1 before, but that hadn't caused any major effects other than a feeling of mild discomfort. In any case, she would need to make sure that her current partner was given enough time to recover from the status effect if it should be unwanted.

[Awatsuki]

"I'm going to restore your HP, Awatsuki!" I hear my raven haired ally. I suddenly felt strange. It was the first time someone with this class healed me. It was even the first time someone healed me ever in Elder Tales. I see my HP climb back to 93% of my full hp value. "Thanks Midori-san." I say as I notice the warm yellow glow surrounding me. Tained Charity... Healing skill... I should remember it. I think to myself as I continue to run through the blizzard as the healt slowly drops again. "Let's make sure to rest up after this, since the HP you just gained will be lost in a few minutes." I hear my ally's warning as I fly in midair towards the back of the wounded Reindeer. "It's more than enough for me." I say simbly as my next two steps get me behind the neck of the reindeer. So it's only temporary? It's just like painkillers. But it's more than enough for me. I finish my thought as I jump behind it's neck counting down the last seconds of [Fatal Ambush] cooldown. "Eliminate..." I mumble as I grip my blade with reversed grip, blocking the reindeer from bigger movements by sticking the scabbard between it's antlers.

The blade made a silent sound of death as I swung it the weapon against the neck of the Reindeer to hit it's vital spot. The already weakned Reindeer with poison debuff hitting his health steadily didn't stand a chance agains well aimed strike of my katana. Even in Elder Tales, when I hit the vital spot I'm able to kill the targett easily. And animals behave the way their should. The system isn't supporting me or strenghtening my body but I can defeat even enemies like this... I think as the blade reaches the neck slowly. The blade pierces through the skin, slices through the spine and decapitates the Reindeer coloring the white snow in the color of blood before the Reindeer disappears changed into loot and bubbles. I turn around. "I will assist you in the combat against the second targett now Midori-san." I say as I turn around dashing towards the Snowman I eye him up and down checking his status as I swing the katana to get rid of the blood on it. The crimson liquid tained the white snow coloring it in the collor of blood as I dashed over to the snowman. I didn't notice the new icon under my current status effects. The small black circle with the number 0. The Corruption status effect, filled from about 20%. I didn't even care, being focused on the combat.

Single glance informed me that the monster was damaged by attacks Midori used to attack her opponent. "Midori. Can you further decrease the hp of the snowman or amplify my attack? I will proceed to eliminate it." I inform her as I cross half of the distance between me and the snowman. Alright. I need to get to it's head. One aimed hit could kill it easily. Just to get there... I think as I look around. My eyes focus on the back of the puppet. Yes. That could do... I think to myself as I cross the distance between me and the puppet. I jump on it's back using another step to reach it's shoulder and another step to reach it's head. Then I use the last push to launch myself towards the snowmans hear ripping the katana out of it's scabbard to finish it. I just hope that Midori was able to support me in time... I know I shouldn't relly on anything like this... But I feel that she can do this. Thoughts run in my head before the moment when katana leaves the scabbard completely. In that moment it's only me and my opponent and the battlefield around us. It's kill or be killed. Live or die.

She was rather impressed as Awatsuki managed to kill the reindeer after a little bit of her healing support. The Assassin girl acted as though she were used to this form of combat in real life. Considering her status only as a mere Level 1, Midori doubted that the other girl had actually engaged in very much combat prior to this moment. Something seemed a little off, though. It was possible that the other girl may have played Elder Tale before, which would have explained her ability to quickly adapt to the class and use its skills as though she had been a seasoned Assassin. No, that wasn't what she felt to be a little odd about her partner. Elder Tale prior to this was just another computer game. Although there had been a number of realistic 3D video games, there had been no technology along the lines of what they were experiencing right now. She supposed that most of her uncertainty came from the girl's smooth fighting movements, as though this kind of thing had been something she'd done to survive for a long time. Barring an unusual backstory, there was the possibility that this girl had originally been some sort of athlete or even a soldier back then. Was it the level that was the problem then? Midori knew that even considering the penalties for a lower-leveled character to fight higher-level monsters (essentially the reason why newbies couldn't just accompany a high-leveled Adventurer and quickly zoom through levels by leeching experience), that Reindeer kill should have netted the other girl at least a level up into Level 2. Yet, it was still constant. At that moment, she realized something. Maybe her partner had gone through the system interface some time ago and set up the kind of level syncing system that the higher-levels occasionally used to party up with beginners. When your level was synced, you would appear as the level you designated even if your actual level was a little higher. That most likely had to be the primary reason. She predicted that with the kind of equipment the other girl was wearing right now, perhaps her actual level would have been closer to a double-digit amount if that system were to be toggled off. I think you're overthinking this, Midori, she clearly didn't claim her AP from other threads yet and so you're the one imposing such a weird explanation for it. I just want it to make sense for me, okay? In any case, they weren't done yet. The red-eyed Assassin pointed her sword next toward the snowman mob she had left alone for a few moments, aiming to finish it off as well. The young Heretic had to give her respects for her partner's sheer eagerness to fight such a thing with such a level difference between them. Maybe her theory was correct after all. Come to think of it, that's not a half-bad explanation that other people can use when roleplaying their characters. I'm glad you understand too. Anyway, the snowman was at 33% of its maximum HP. An attack from Awatsuki alone probably wouldn't have dealt quite as much damage due to the greater gap than when she had fought the snowman. It was probably a good idea if she should weaken the monster with a few light attacks first and then allow her partner to land the last blow. Well, it seemed that plan was already put into action. An uncharged Miasma Bullet was shot out of the magician's sword, followed by a weak magic bolt granted by its classification as a Runed Weapon. She didn't know the details but when she had this weapon crafted, it was apparently an item that was a hybrid of a Grimoire and a Sword in terms of function. Two direct hits placed the creature at roughly 20% of its HP. At that moment, Awatsuki wasn't running toward the snowman, but at Allul-0. Midori had a feeling what the girl was going to do, so she dashed forward as well. She ran up toward the snowman and blocked an snowball it had aimed for her face at the moment. The magician countered the attack, slashing the monster directly with the sword and bringing it down to 10%. At that moment, Awatsuki had stepped onto her small puppet's body, using the wooden creature as a footstep for a jump attack. Seeing this, she activated Act Three: Fateful Encounter once again. The puppet along with the girl was quickly pulled right to her position, placing the Assassin in perfect range for her attack. Coupled with the puppet knocking the snowman down once again, it was now at its most vulnerable moment. "Your debut!"

[Awatsuki]

Stars Can't, Shine without darkness. As the raven haired Assassin points her sword towards the snowman mob preparing to dash over to it to finish it off with her blade the young heretic looked over to her with respect. She probably isn't used to level ones fighting mosters nineteen levels higher monsters. Well no time to think about it now. I guess that I owe her an explanation later. But that's not the case now. Now I need to concentrate. That's what the assassin thought preparing for her dash to the enemy. She watched closely the snowmans HP as it was still 33%. I'm counting on you Midori! She thought speeding up, putting complete trust in her partner. Midori raised her sword shooting an uncharged Miasma Bullet out of her sword. Then the runes flashed with magical energy as the Miasma Bullet was followed by a weak magic bolt thank's to it's status as a Runed Weapon. Those weapons realy are something... Awatsuki thought giving the Runed Blade a quic glance. It placed the snowmans HP at roughly 20% of its HP. She still has time... I believe in you Midori! The raven haired Assassin thought as she focised on the snowman. I start sprinting towards my target now the blade prepared and lowered to the ground in the stance. That's the time Midori noticed that the Assassin didn't run towards the snowman but at the big puppet. She must have known what she was going to do. The raven haired heretic rushed forward as well now, running up to the snowman and blocked an snowball aimed at her face skillfully. Midory countered the attack slashing the monster durectly with the sword and bringing it down to 10%. Awatsuki jumped on the small puppet's body using it as a footstep for her next attack, throwing the scabbard in the air and holding her katana with both her hands. Midori waited for this and used her next spell. She activated Act Three: Fateful Encounter. The pupped rushed forward. In the moment it stopped Awatsuki jumped in perfect sync as the snowman was knocked down once again swinging my blade with a roar. The blade cut through the air and body of the snowman like if it was just air. As Awatsuki was flying beside it she managed to strike it even the second time stucking the blade deep through it's head. The HP finally decreased to 0%. Awatsuki had a dark smile as she landed on the ground swinging the katana to get rid of the blood on the blade by rote, not realising that there was just a bit of snow. Meanwhile behind Awatsuki the snowman collapsed changing into shiny bubbles which are floating in the air. Raising her left hand she grabbed the scabbard and returned the katana inside it holding both in left hand. Awatsuki turns around calming herself as she walks over to Midori and bows lightly her hair and trenchcoat fluttering in the wind. "Thanks for your Assistance Midori-san. Without you I wouldn't be able to finish of the beast. You have my thanks." She says and smiles on Midori lightly. tags: Midori words: 520 notes: MADE BY KIWII OF BTN

It was a great combination, as Awatsuki was able to use the puppet's movement momentum as a baseline for performing her final attack. The Assassin used this opportunity to pounce onto the snowman and deliver a lethal stab to its head, completely depleting the remainder of its HP. As the snowman's body scattered into data, she continued to look on. The semi-transparent image of another snowman seemed to appear beside where the fallen monster had been defeated. It had a tranquil expression, saying no words to her before disappearing into the distance as it slowly walked away. Midori wondered whether these snowmen were actually part of a larger system mechanic in some way. It wouldn't have been surprising for such a thing to be part of this world nowadays, considering that it was the Christmas holiday season after all. She looked toward the mysterious red-eyed girl who retracted her weapon and stood, thanking her. It would seem that her HP was likely to deplete to nearly a halfway point once the Tainted Charity should have worn off. "Likely, let me thank you for being a pretty capable partner!" Midori returned a smile. That smile faded a little as she started to look around at some of the monsters which had just spawned around them. A couple more Jolly Snowmen and a few Crystal Reindeer... and then she noticed the large figure of a Malicious Snowman not a long walk away. A Level 35 Malicious Snowman. Really? Why would they put a monster of this level not far away from where the destination point for the party should have been? This was probably one of the reasons why normal people of Awatsuki's level range would have chosen to stay in the Londinium area rather than venture out to the other districts. Sarum and Avon had their fair share of lower-leveled monsters, but they certainly also had a good amount of monsters along the same strengths as that monster in the distance. Knowing that she was not a true healer and that fighting the new monsters that had just spawned had a risk of attracting the attention of that big guy over there (it looked like the kind of jerk that would join in the fight), Midori started to walk back toward the main road. "Let's take a break for a little bit though." After making their way back toward the safer part of Snowdonia, where decorations have been placed festively all over the area, Midori had a lot of questions she wanted to ask the other girl. She wanted to know just why the girl had decided to join her in the fight, even though she had only been using the puppet originally to perform a scouting role to examine how the new monsters reacted. She wanted to ask why the raven-haired girl was here in the first place, actually. "Were you planning to attend the winter ball later tonight? I think they've decorated everything pretty nicely, it's probably something worth checking out if you're still in the area later." Really, attending a festive party on Christmas Eve was the conventional way that most people spent their holidays. Midori had to admit that she was better off not attending big parties, but she had already been invited by her guild members and thus came mostly for them. She was more of the type who preferred smaller and more intimate parties that would allow everyone to get to know each other. This was one reason why she was partly arranging something special for the alliance to attend after the party, on Christmas Day. That is... if everyone was willing to return back to Londinium in order to attend the event in the first place. "Well, in any case, I have just a question that seemed to catch my interest." Midori's tone of speech lightened up with her next statement. "日本語... 話せるの? (You can speak Japanese, can't you?)" There was her tendency to add the suffix -san to her own name. The suffix was purely a Japanese way of speech, used normally either by someone who had a Japanese background or someone that really wanted to have such a background. She didn't know for sure, but the way Awatsuki had spoken didn't seem like a native British-Japanese accent as hers was. It seemed rather different, like a native Japanese accent that had mixed itself with a number of European accents. If she could have described under any other context, it was like a frequent traveler on business, learning and gradually adapting to the various European accents of English for business. To some people in this world, it wasn't really a good conversational topic to bring up what kind of person someone may have been in real life. Many people who played Elder Tale tended to be similar in that they were probably using the game as a source to vent away the troubles they had in the world. The economy was still having plenty of troubles despite improving recently, as it had been clear that the aftermath had affected people worldwide. The real world had become a kind of pessimistic place where one's dreams may not have been achievable in the end. "As for me, I'm a Japanese person who's lived in Britain her whole life. I think my hometown is probably pretty close to where this area is, actually." She remembered taking a vacation outing with her family many years before in the winter, exploring a snowfell mountain just like this one. She noticed that a number of places in this area was very familiar to her, yet the way the areas were decorated and the appearance of monsters in the area made it seem like a new world altogether. It made her wonder... what did her hometown look like in this new world? Was there a Person of the Land that represented someone like her in the real world, considering that it seemed that the population of the Landers were fairly high throughout the land. There were a number of mysteries that she was processing in her mind, but that would have to wait for another occasion. For now, she wanted to know more about the mysterious girl she had just been acquainted with, not only a few minutes ago.

[Awatsuki]

Stars Can't, Shine without darkness. After the snowman was killed a smaller appeared but it walked away soon, not wanting to fight. It soon disappeared in the distance and slowly walking away. A snowman appearing inside another one? Strange... Awatsuki thought. As I smiled on Midori and thanked her she smiles on my too. "Likely, let me thank you for being a pretty capable partner!" She says as she smiled. "No problem at all." I keep smiling. I look around and sigh as I see more monsters appearing. Awatsuki opens her interface and sets her level back to level 20, disabling the teacher system. "I'm sorry for endangering you by using teacher system. I train my reactions in this world like that." Awatsuky explains simply and apologizes. "Alright. Let's take a break." She nods and follows Midori towards the main road to avoid monsters that spawned around and the attention of big Malicious Snowman level 35. After two black haried girls make their way back to the safer part of Snowdonia, where decorations have been placed festively all over the area. As they walk Awatsuki is looking curiously around wondering who placed there all the decorations. She wasn't used to madness during winter enough. Midori was looking on her with many unspoken questions waiting for the right moment to ask the black haired assassin. "Were you planning to attend the winter ball later tonight? I think they've decorated everything pretty nicely, it's probably something worth checking out if you're still in the area later." She asked her with a smile. "Umm..." Awatsuki starts. "I'm not sure about it. I wanted to steal a peak on it and go again. I don't have clothes for a ball and I'm not used to such events." She says calmly. She realy wasn't used to such large events as a ball. The largest event she atended was a smaller banquet where she had to assassinate her target, so she didn't talk much there. Even if she should choose she would choose something much smaller to get to know others better. "Well, in any case, I have just a question that seemed to catch my interest." Midori asked again. "Feel free to ask." Awatsuki nodded simply awaiting her next question.  "日本語... 話せるの? (You can speak Japanese, can't you?)" Midori asked her in her own language. Awatsuki smiled lightly as she heard it. For a british game there was quite large number of japanese players. Awatsuki nods. "はい.(yes)" She confirms her thoughts and answers her question simply. It seemed that Midori figured out her origin from listening to her accent and to her way of speaking. Awatsuki learned Japanese and German as her native languages and could speak in them without a problem. Later she learned English too and mastered it easily enough since she used it a lot during her life. Awatsuki smiles lightly remembering the moments she spent to learn those languages, the time before getting into the world of Elder Tales, which she started to play only because a friend which recommended it. Still she enjoyed the world of Elder Tales as she could get away from the darker part of her past easily. "As for me, I'm a Japanese person who's lived in Britain her whole life. I think my hometown is probably pretty close to where this area is, actually." Midori starts to explain her origin. Awatsuki smiles and starts talking too. "I'm from Shirakawa-go." She starts to explain her own hometown as she remembers the years she spent there happily as a normal child with her mother. "After studying in Tokio I went to Britain for some time and started playing Elder Tales." She smiles and finishes, skiping the part about Yakuza, assasinations and other things which were her dark shadow which appeared behind her every time she wielded her katana. She looked around with a light smile wondering how looks her hometow now and if Landers in that area have build't the town looking similar to the real area. "Would you like to know more about me?" She asked and smiled on the girl that she was walking with, waiting for Midori's next question. tags: Midori words: 688 MADE BY KIWII OF BTN
