 JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS While he said it was out of necessity it was pure curiosity that led Djinn into the depths of the Faywoods. He'd come in search of a Dino egg which were apparently all the rage right now seeing as there'd be some culmination of an event towards the end of the week. Silver hair shined under pockets of sunlight underneath the canopy. He'd been searching for nearly two hours, but had yet to come up upon anything of value, Dinosaur eggs or otherwise. Still he was certain that if these eggs really existed they'd probably be found in the jungle where dinosaurs probably lived... at some point or another. In his combing of the wilds a misstep led the man into what was arguably the most classic trap in existence, the legendary pitfall. Initially having been covered up by long -leafy greens and grass the commander didn't stand a chance as the earth below him fell through leaving the man about 10 feet deep in a dirt trap he had no business being in. The only reprieve being the man hadn't been impaled on a bed of spikes. "It's too fuckin' hot for this." With no other options the man dug his arms into the wall and began a shallow attempt at climbing until a loud rustling atop the hole grabbed his attention. The beaten rifle once slung over his back was now in his hands. He wasn't going out like this. word count ✖ golden ✖ Shitty post but i'ma get a feel for the char.

Adorned with gold and fine silk, the sight of the raven-haired keeper and the rich forest looked like a scene from a fantasy film. But when you take a closer look at her face, it betrays the ethereal atmosphere. She looked downright irritated. Walking almost endlessly in the woods was tiresome. "A dinosaur egg isn't even pretty," she mutters to herself, trying to sway her thoughts away from this event. However, her resolve doesn't waver and she continues her search, venturing further in.
That was then she saw a figure walking in the distance, then disappearing in the blink of an eye. Golden's curiosity gets the better of her and she strays from her path. "Oh, he fell," was her only comment after seeing the hole in the ground. She inches forward to take a closer look, and that's when she sees a rifle pointed at her. "I suppose you have no need for help," she says flatly, "seeing as you're about to shoot me." She smiles brightly and turns around, preparing to leave.

JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS The barrel of the rifle wasn't met with some ogre or snake, but with a woman, one who looked as close to royalty as one could get in this game. Sunlight would shine against the player's gold adornments blinding the commander momentarily as she spoke. He'd yet to meet an npc that was this sassy and so the rifle would find itself once again tucked away on his back a sign he didn't want any trouble. The new player stood in complete contrast to him. Where she stood above him in white silks and gold he was layered in dirt. The camo jacket he wore was more brown than green now, in fact, the only thing that was in half decent condition was the red scarf around his neck and even that was more than slightly frayed. "Force of habit these days." The man would back away from the wall his arms crossed and golden eyes focused on the woman, his expression unreadable. He had no intention of begging for the woman's help, but judging by his previous attempt at climbing the wall he wouldn't be going anywhere fast. And so he'd attempt to bargain with what little he had. "How much would it take for you to help me out of this hole. I don't have much in terms of money, but I know how to work mam." The retired soldier placed his hands behind his back standing at attention. Even in Gargantua no favor was free. word count ✖ golden ✖ i'm sorry he's rude :/

"Mhm, tempting," she sounds interested but despite the proposition of earning coin, she wasn't so low as to take from someone who seems to not have much on him at the moment. Still, she could ask for something else in return, maybe labor. That's it exactly. "Alright, I'll help you out of there," she says with a twinkle in her eyes. She leaves the man to give him more time alone with the leaves and dirt. The thought of telling him where she was off to never crossed her mind. Plan B it is then.
As she walked back to her previous path, Golden twirls a few strands of her hair, a habit she has when she's thinking. There was no way she herself could get the man out of there. She'd fall flat on her butt, and the mere tought of it was embarrassing. Also, she wouldn't want to get her hands dirty for it to be in vain. She stops in her tracks when the familiar monster trap was in front of her. The rope holding the cage afloat was long enough to reach the soldier fellow, and for the one pulling to, well, pull. It's a shame she had to ruin a trap someone must've had a difficult time to put up. "Oh well, for the greater good and all."
It takes a couple of minutes but she returned to the scene of the accident. Golden, ever the most polite, doesn't bother to show her face again. Instead, she throws one end of the rope down the hole with no explanation besides a warning. "Do hold on then," she says aloud and void of enthusiasm over the task. But just when she was about to set her plan into motion, she returns to the edge of the hole and looks at her dame in distress. "Ah, and I'm doing this in exchange for labor, and not coin," she says a matter-of-factly. An army-like man such as him would hold his end despite the change in conditions, so the keeper doesn't bother to threaten him.
She ties her end of the rope into a loop, and activates the skill taurus' strength. Small orbs of light manifests in front of her, and a line begins to connect the dots, forming the constellation of the Taurus. The symbol spins on it's center axis until it's a portal of light. A milky white bull comes out from the blinding light, pawing the ground and letting out a loud snort. Before it began charging the tree that Golden has pointed out as the target, the keeper throws the loop and it secures itself around one of the bull's horns. "I apologize," she says to the tree in a whisper, but it's surely directed at the man who was about to get painfully yet quickly dragged to freedom.

JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS When she gives the affirmative the commander gives another short nod, "Much obliged mam." The woman didn't name her terms the flash of gold simply disappears from his field of vision as if she'd never been there, at all. 1...2...3... About four minutes later when the man believes he may have been abandoned the later half of an old rope is tossed toward the player. Alongside the rope came instructions so short they were ominous. Still better ominous than trapped, "Understood."and so the dark skinned man would hold the rope as instructed teeth gritted. Just when he expected the ride to start... it didn't. The angelic looking woman was above him once more now stating her terms. There was no surprise there, again, no favor was free. The only question was 'what could the woman need him for.?' Did she need, a monster slain? a dungeon conquered? A snort of what sounded like some large animal or another broke the man's focus. Almost unconsciously he gripped the rope tighter, and then ever so suddenly... He's in the air. Those same golden eyes are flitting frantically from the trap to his former captor to the monstrosity that saved him. And just as quickly as he rises he falls hands still hanging to the rope as if they were still the means to safety and not the uncomfortable experience that followed. When it was all over the dark skinned man found himself looking at the sky through the canopy. the initial pain had passed but his health bar looked a bit lower than usual. In the real world, he would have broken his arm; In the real world, magical bulls don't drag you out of pitfalls. He wouldn't move just yet allowing his mind and body to realign after the experience, still looking up at the fragments of blue skies between the trees Djinn spoke, "Alright mam. what do you need." Today was turning out to be one of the longest days he'd had in a long time. word count ✖ golden ✖ WOW I LOVE IT.

Golden watches the whole thing unfold almost in slow motion. To be honest, she didn't expect that the other would come out flying in the way he did. Then again, seeing as that specific skill of hers is one of her strongest offensive ones as a utility player, that much force should have been calculated for. She keeps that bit of information to herself. It wouldn't sound good to say that her plan B wasn't well thought of. He could've hit the red levels, realizing that he must have taken damage when he fell down the trap.
"Here," she throws a diamond-shaped vial filled with what looks to be water but it had a sparkle to it, "I have no use for you if you aren't in full health." She intertwines her hands behind her as she waited for him to drink the contents of the bottle.
"I need help with obtaining a dinosaur egg, if you could," Golden walks past him, aware that there is hardly much time left. Introductions have yet to be placed on the table but time is of the essence. She brings out a window from her menu and wat hes the event timer tick down. "We have better chances to find them together," she says a matter of factly.

JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS "That so?" He'd sit up just in time to catch the vial easily recognizable as a healing potion. In seconds the glass cap would pop and the man would guzzle a fair portion of the bottle watching his hit points rise until they were once again at max. While he drank his 'savior' would spell the terms for his freedom. coincidentally they were after the same thing, of course, she'd get first dibs, but there was always the hope that where one dino egg was another was nearby and searching in numbers was far safer anyways. Djinn, at your service then little miss." The man would stand tall now offering his hand to the woman for a shake. With his free hand, he'd send a party invite. Seeing as time was of the essence he'd waste little time taking the lead, "I've explored most of this area, pretty sure we should move forward, that is unless you'd like to guide." He'd keep his sarcasm to a minimum as he was in the woman's debt. word count ✖ golden ✖ WOW I LOVE IT.

Golden accepts the party invitation as soon as it arrived. Following behind her newly made companion, she would glance around to better survey the area. Call it double-checking in case the other would miss something that may lead them to the dinosaur eggs. It is better for you to lead," she says without contempt, just a sureness in her voice, "you are a defender after all." In case a monster or two would appear pit of the blue, she'd have a true human shield to tame receive the blows. Still, she doubts they would have such an encounter during an easter egg hunt type of event.
While they walked, she notices a pile of leaves, no, straw to the left of the woods. It may as well be just a pile of rubbish but her gut tells her that should take the chance and stray from their current path. Hesitantly, she taps the soldier's back. She wasn't one to make any form of physical contact with others but she also wasn't the type to say "hey", and "excuse me" sounded strange during this already awkward situation. Once he had turned towards her, the keeper points to the area she was previously staring at. Covered by the thick trees, anyone could still see the object of her interest—a large nest, probably.

JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS Golden eyes would flit to his side every so often checking on his 'inventive' companion as if the forest would swallow the ethereal looking woman if she remained out of sight for too long, however, every time he glanced back she was just as haughty or perhaps contemplative as she'd been prior, it was a fine line after all. They continue moving deeper into the brush on occasion the scurrying of creatures can be heard through the wilderness whether they were simple animals or creatures scarier, nothing would move out of their way to engage the two travelers. They only stop when he feels a light tap on the back. No words this time, but still her instructions are clear, "You're the boss." And so he turns to observe the area through the trees the bundles of hay, leaves, and sticks piled. And so the commander would move forward as instructed cautiously searching for signs of anything that would roost here pushing branches out of the way, creating a makeshift path for the woman to follow. Like a snake slithering up a bird's nest, he would move quietly before reaching down into the pit spying two eggs that were most likely what they were looking for. While he needed one, the woman would receive the first, and perhaps even second pick if she required them both. "If I was a betting man, I'd say this is mission accomplished, mam."tPLZeT7Z

It goes without saying that this player was running for one of the better labor she'd hired. Although his training in the real world would have been a great influence to how reliable he was with the task, despite it being a small one. She follows right behind him, making use of the path that he's making. Honestly, it never crossed the keeper's mind that he'd go through this much trouble. The temporary employer-employee relationship wasn't bound by a strong debt, at least not bu her standards.
"Thank you for your assistance," she says with a nod. It didn't matter to her which she would take so she opts to let the other choose before her. All she asked for was for an extra pair of hands. He didn't owe her so much as to let her choose first. Plus, like she said prior, dinosaur eggs weren't even pretty. She picks up the lone egg with both hands and cradles it in her arms. "Until next time." Golden bids him farewell and turns to finally leave the forest.
