Storm in a Tea Cup

I'm Tempest. Level 29, twin dagger user. There's not really much I can add to that. Talk to me if you want to find out more I guess.

Ugh this really sucks. I've spent the day basically looking for an rp to fill the Naxis void in my life, and nothing even comes close. :( 

This was a great rp...I'm sad to see it go.

Quest: Train Them Right

[theseus-0491-blog]

“Fine, how are you doing?” Theseus called in reply, slashing at the wolves as quickly and efficiently as he possibly could. They seemed to come in endless numbers, which was slightly troubling - he wasn’t sure they would really just stop after they’d managed to kill fifty of them and he was still half concerned with ensuring Tempest’s safety. He felt an odd sort of protective instinct towards the younger player, even if she did annoy him with that God awful nickname of hers, but he could deal with that, he had younger siblings and they had had the same sort of relationship when he’d lived at home with his parents in the real world. Sometimes even afterwards. 

He shook his head sharply, he was getting distracted and fuck. He grunted sharply as a wolf tore into his forearm, “Fuck.” He swore under his breath and stabbed the animal hurriedly, “Damn it.” He muttered, tearing off a piece of his shirt to wrap around the wound temporarily. “How many more d’ya think?” He called, now it was important for him to pay attention. No way he was croaking because of some God forsaken fur ball.

"Just dandy." She replied, although really she was starting to flag just the tiniest bit. Okay, truthfully she was fucking knackered but she wasn't about to just admit that. She'd maybe only just about managed to kill 9 or so wolves and guessed that Theseus couldn't have killed more than 20. Which still left them with at least another 20 wolves to kill, and from the noises he was making they needed to hurry up and either regroup and think of a new plan or take out the remaining twenty as best as they could. 

"Too many, we should back off and regroup...or bring out the big guns." If she used Battle Waltz she guessed she'd be able to take out at least 5 or 6 in a matter of minutes, but then she left both herself and Theseus opened to more attacks. Crap...this was why she started off with range attacks first. Just as that thought crossed her mind, she missed one altogether and it snapped its jaws around her leg. She cried out and quickly stabbed it in the back of the neck, but the damage was already done and Tempest could barely put any weight on it. She needed to move somewhere now. "Fuck...Any chance we can try and move closer to that tree over there. I'm better at distance attacks and my leg is fucked. This was so not going to be it. She did not survive 10 high level players and fire breathing monsters to get taken out by a wolf. Anything but wolves.

You are now level 29.

Holy...

[tempest&Nix]Quest: Thanks for the memories

Nix was happy to do something calmed for a change. She had to admited that she loved action quests. Somehow, the girl have always liked to get into trouble, since she was a little girl so she enjoyed taking risks and chances in a place like this. Even though it was somewhat crazy since there was real danger here. But for now, she was just happy to be around Tempest. She was really nice and she had a great and sincere smile, something that she didn’t see often in a place like this. They have agreed to camp for the night until it was clear enough to start walking, so a campfire was needed. As she gathered enough wood, she set them near the place were Tempest was curled up. The girl kneeled next to her and placed the branches on the fire.

“So…this is nice” she smiled at the blonde girl next to her and sat down ina lotus position. “thanks for joining tonight” she shrugged and took a sip from her tea. She dind’t like to spend the nights by her own because she knew there were some crazy people that would love to take anyone down if they dind’t work for chronos so a company was always accepted.

Tempest wasn't really sure what had possessed her to agree to camping with someone, but she had to admit that it was kind of nice. Rarely did she ever allow herself to light campfires at night, but tonight was different. Tonight she was hanging out with Nix, and she didn't have to be on constant alert. Though that wasn't to say that she didn't have her guard at least partially up. Nix was one of the nicest people she'd met in Naxis, but Tempest didn't trust anyone. When it was time for her to sleep she would still probably climb the nearest tree and settle in it's  branches. For once, being a light sleeper was really handy. Till then, she was happy to enjoy the fire with Nix.

"No problem. Thanks for getting the firewood." She wasn't used to being around other people in a social setting so didn't really know what to say. Instead she just curled up in her sleeping bag and watched the other girl out of the corner of her eye. Nix was different to most of the people she'd met. Everyone else was far too serious and stoic for her liking. Nix was one of the few people she'd met that seemed to know how to relax, or at least appear relaxed.

"I'm sorry the company isn't better though." She said with a laugh. Tempest was more than aware that she confused most people. But being unreadable was something she was proud of. It meant she could talk to people and still keep an emotional distance from them. Getting attached to people was always a sure fire  way to get hurt. If there was one thing she'd learnt in her life, it was that she couldn't depend on anyone. 

Remembering what she'd bought earlier in the week, she quickly searched her bag, smiling triumphantly when she found what she was looking for. Some people in Aantyl had started trying to recreate a lot of the food they had back home that wasn't available in Naxis. Their latest creation being something similar to marshmallows. Taking two of the longer sticks in their firewood pile, she skewered a 'marshmallow' onto the end of each stick and offered one of them to Nix. "The taste is slightly off...but they're still pretty tasty."

kay now, who missed me?

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

I think…I feel even more honoured indeed.

[user-tempest-blog]

Well that's a relief. I usually manage to end up insulting people.

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

kay now, who missed me?

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

Now I’m honored 

[user-tempest-blog]

Eh it's a very short list...not sure if you should feel less or more honoured by that.

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

kay now, who missed me?

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

I hope I’m incluided on those.

[user-tempest-blog]

But of course. You're at the top of the list.

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

I heard guilds help you on that though we can train if you want.

[user-tempest-blog]

I don't do guilds really. I'm more of a solo player who's happy to occasionally form small party's.

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

Quests are fun and it helps you to gain skills and abilities! Yeah, you level up with them but you also learn interesting stuff. That’s why I like them.

[user-tempest-blog]

I think I'd like them more if I'd actually learnt something by now...but i'm still stuck on just two skills. I'm sure something will happen eventually though.

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

Anyone willing to do a quest with me?

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

Good enough. Where should we go?

[user-tempest-blog]

Anywhere. Preferably not Aantyl. So sick of that place now.

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

kay now, who missed me?

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

I’ve heard that before. It makes sense. We all joined this place to escape for reality, anyways. Sounds like fun. Even though it’s kind of weird to get bored in aplace like this.

[user-tempest-blog]

I guess, but it was mostly because I was avoiding quests. I didn't see the point in leveling up if I was going to stay. And then I nearly died...twice. So leveling up time it is!

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

Anyone willing to do a quest with me?

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

Which is your level, hun? I’m sure we can do something together.

[user-tempest-blog]

20 as it stands. 

Should really work on that.

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

kay now, who missed me?

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

Why should I? Your only head it’s quite pretty for me and we all have different opinions that’s what makes this world…and others interesting.

[user-tempest-blog]

Eh, this old thing? It does the job. But most other people who've even heard that I'm considering staying just look at me like I'm crazy. I think I just tell people to see the mix of reactions these days...just shows how bored I am.

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

Anyone willing to do a quest with me?

I’m ready for some action.

[user-tempest-blog]

I'm game. Though I'm a quite a bit lower than you level-wise I think. 

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

kay now, who missed me?

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

Thanks. Good luck for you too, in whichever thing you decide.

[user-tempest-blog]

Thanks. And thanks for not looking at me like I have three heads or something.

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

kay now, who missed me?

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

I…I do. They need me, so I need to help them.

[user-tempest-blog]

Well good luck. I hope you beat this game. 

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

kay now, who missed me?

[nix-0432-deactivated20121108]

Yes…I…my sister needs me and I can’t leave my family for long..

[user-tempest-blog]

You have something to go back to...makes sense.
