Faywood Village was absolute stunning. For a place that was hidden in an area infested with monsters, it was remarkably untouched. Perhaps it was the luck of the people who lived there or the efforts of adventurers, he would never know. But he was thankful for the feeling of safety as he sat among the gorgeous array of flowers. There were so many and as he found himself trying to describe their petals, he was at a loss for words. A smile settled on Blank's face as he stared up at the cloudless blue sky. It was nice to live without having to think about the awaiting embrace of death. Poetic words that could've been saved for another day or a surlier occasion. A sigh escaped him as he stood to his feet, putting his parchment and ink into his inventory. Slowly yet surely, he was becoming used to the mechanics of Gargantua. Listening to the other adventurers seemed to help a lot more than he thought it would in the beginning and he found himself wondering if their words held merit. A scream interrupted his thoughts as he rushed back to the interior of the village. Some of the townsfolk were running away but from what, he didn't know. Blank drew his sword and hurried in the direction that the others were fleeing from. When he came closer, he found an elderly woman collapsed. He sheathed his sword and knelt down to help her only to be confronted with a floating box, words written on it and two buttons appearing before him. A well-armed horde of goblin raiders have attacked the outskirts of Faywood Village and put all of its citizens in danger. Protect what you can of the survivors, and bring an end to their attack by any means necessary. "Another quest," he muttered. The old woman looked to him with a weary expression, and he nodded. "I'll do it."
He accepted the terms and conditions for the quest and laid her to rest as the commotion continued around him. A beacon appeared over his head to alert any nearby adventurers. Hopefully this could be resolved quickly. notes: open to all.

Wist really needed a break, and the Faywood village seemed to do just that. The beautiful plains around the area seemed to help with the scene, and it almost felt like maybe just maybe he could be happy here. All they had to do was forget they were stuck here... and any drop below 0 would kill anyone that was a player. Okay, happy moment was suddenly ruined by the thought that still floated around no matter what he did or didn't do. It seemed there was no running away from it and that meant they either actually tried to beat the game or they were all going to die by time as the outside world could only support their bodies for so long.
Wist let out a sigh and rubbed his head and tried to not think about it. "Man this is a pain." he grumbled but after a moment a scream seemed to break him out of his current trance. Wist glanced up quickly as most likely it was a quest which meant partners. It was surprising people hadn't teamed up yet as the game was meant to do a lot of these things as a group. Still the man sighed and found himself running outfit billowing behind him as he ran in the direction other npcs were running away of.
That was when yellow hues saw a cursor and a notification from another player that was in the field with what he assumed was an npc in his arms. He was stuck in the same boat, not able to start the quest unless someone joined him. He slowed his run to a calm walk now as he moved to the other and knelt down beside him for a moment to glance at the woman then him. "What we looking at quest wise?" he asked before soon enough the notification came to him as well.
Goblins
Ah great, another soft smile came from Wist as he moved his finger to click accept. "I'll help you out if you'd like." he said softly. Another smile came from Wist looking to Blank now, of course he knew that Blank needed someone else to do it but it was still nice all the same to ask to team up. "I use a sword, and I'm an attacker if that helps any."

Someone died. It took a moment for that realization to set in as the person in his arms was laid there. Perhaps it would've been better to bury them among the glade of flowers but now wasn't the time to worry about that. If he wasn't careful and failed the mission, more people would need to be buried and the thought of needless death didn't sit well with him. Someone spoke to him and he lifted his head to see another man with golden eyes and stark white hair, almost like him. Maybe it was a trend or something else but he couldn't ask for a nicer person to lend aid. "I use a sword as well," he said. "It's a poorly made one but it'll do in a fight."An attacker? Was that a sort of term that he was supposed to be familiar with. Remembering the information written on the screen about him, the word "defender" was written. The question rested on the tip of his tongue but now wasn't the time to help. "I'd appreciate any help that I could get from you, my name is Blank."Blank stood to his feet and looked to the body that laid at their feet. It was chilling to know that any one of them could end up like this just in an instant. Everything was so peaceful but now. His gaze turned to the outskirts of the village where most people were running away from, smoke arising more than likely from fires burning the woodlands. Now everything is in shambles."Follow me."He hurried down the path, doing his best to evade anyone who was coming towards them. This had to be handled as quickly as possible. wisteria

Wist noticed how deeply the other was involved with the woman laid in his arms. For a moment Wist glanced at the woman and his eyes saddened and he moved a hand to lightly touch the others shoulder for a light consulate for the death that he had seen. Needless death, that was something he wished they could prevent regardless of whether it was a npc or player.
Thankfully the other seemed to speak and he gave a soft smile. "That will probably make it easier for us to work together then. I'm sure mine is simple too but it's helped me this far so hopefully it will hold now too." he said with a soft smile. It seemed the other was confused when he said that he was an attacker so maybe he wasn't a big gamer? Was this game his first? That would make it worse he guessed, even if they were all traped in the same death game.
Thankfully he spoke again and it made it easier for Wist to get out of his mind. "Wisteria, wish I could have met you on better terms than this." he said with a soft smile. "I'm good on the front, if you're better at support." he said softly. Maybe that would be an easier describer of what an attacker was. "I'm good with speed and quick attacks." he said. "I'm also a beast tamer, so maybe I'll be able to grab one of these goblins as a summoning."
Still maybe the quicker they got out of here the better the woman npc or not just made it worse. "Yeah, I'm right behind you." he said moving right after the other so no one else would die. It was still hard to take here and he hadn't seen any players actually die, so he would rather not see it now. He would make sure that he protected his new comrade so they could both walk out of it alive and living another day in this world till the day they could go home.

Wisteria was a good man. His attempt to comfort was received with a little smile and an appreciate nod from Blank. Although he hadn't known the woman for long or at all, she was important. She signified something that he wasn't even sure that he'd been missing for such a long time. With that being said, he'd rather make sure that her death wasn't in vain or taken for granted. If the mission details were right then hunting down the goblins would be the best option. The best option.He listened to Wisteria's plan, and couldn't help but think that he was one of the more sensible adventurers that crossed his path during these excursions. However, it pained him to know that he couldn't exactly understand what he was talking about. Attacker. The word lingered in his mind but "support" seemed to be easier to comprehend. "I can take a punch," Blank said. "I'll defend you while you look for a mark."He spared his companion a smile and grasped the hilt of his sword. It would be a good idea to pull it now and strike while the iron was hot or at least while adrenaline rushed through his body. While the pair approached, a group of goblins were at the ready on the outskirts of the village. They were armed with makeshift cannons and swords, some even sporting daggers or constructed weapons from wood and stone. "There's a variety of them to choose from, take your pick." He looked to Wisteria and smiled a little. wisteria
There are three options to pick from: left, middle, or right. Depending on where Wisteria picks, the flow of battle will follow.

Wist wouldn't have necessarily thought of himself as a good person, he simply was like everyone else here and everyone had a lie or secret that they wanted to keep hidden from the world. At the moment, it was just in his best interest to befriend blank, if not only for this mission but because it would mean monsters and something for him to tame later. It would definitely make his abilities more useful considering he was pretty much worthless unless he tamed some things and quick.
Maybe he had been a bit too brash saying things like attacker, but explaining it would be a lot easier when they weren't on an important mission to save the lives of others. Even if most of them were npcs, it still felt terrible in your gut when one of them died, even if they would respawn later. It made you think about what would happen if they weren't a npc but a real genuine player that died and Wist didn't want to let any more sadness cloud his opinion of this place.
"Sounds like a good idea, my ability allows me to make contracts with monsters I've defeated as long as I take most of the hits on them. Once I do I can summon them to fight on our side, so if you let me defeat a couple we can have more than a two man team and my summons can help as well" he explained hoping that would be a little easier to understand.
When Wist noticed the other take out his sword he moved as well to draw his own pulling it from its hilt and holding it solid in his grip as they came upon the groups of goblins separated into three different groups. Well that simply meant they would have to take out a group at a time and the best idea in Wist's mind was to start with the left or right then go the opposite way to make it as smooth and as quick as possible.
"Let's start on the left then we can go in a row and wipe them out quickly so no one else gets hurt." he said motioning to the left side before returning the others smile. "I'm sure if we work together we can get through this and save the village before it's completely burnt down."
blank, let's go with left ~ |

There were at least twenty of the goblins at the ready to invade Faywood Village. If there were more of them it would've been easier to just evacuate the citizens and handle the threat but seeing as it was only two of them, they'd have to make due. Some of the goblins were readying cannons while others were giving out orders to destroy some of the closer structures. Most of the wildlife was left alone but Blank wasn't sure on how long that would last. For now, they were simply watching from the Eastern Gate of the village at the encroaching terror. "Start from the left," he repeated. In his mind, their assault from the left-side of the horde would cause the others to become distract or at least frantic. The battle could transverse deeper into the forest surrounding the village. While it may save the villagers, there was always the chance for reinforcements if they were to be alerted that there was a disturbance. Unless there were no survivors to bring word back to the others. "You have to take most of the hits," he said. "If I can draw their attention to me and keep it there, you can handle them right?"They didn't have much time to come up with a coherent plan but stating the obvious or at least getting a bit of reassurance would do well for him. If he could center all of the goblins on one focal point and Wisteria could cut them down one by one, this could be over in a matter of moments. wisteria
Divide and conquer or center around one point and take them down one by one.

Wist nodded even as he watched the incoming destruction that would be Faywood Village if they didn't do something shortly. After all Wist was hoping he could contract some of these suckers and send them back into battle after all so they needed to win this. When he heard the other repeat what he had said he nodded once more and gave a small reassuring smile. He was sure that they could handle whatever this mission threw at them especially if Blank drew attention and he took final hit.
"That sounds like a plan, I can definitely back you up." he said with a short nod after all if they didn't get moving then things would definitely not go so well. "As soon as I get a contract, I can summon and get an attack boost so that will definitely make this go quicker." he said before making sure the other was ready before heading to where they would start. "Let's stick together for now, that way we can take out a bunch at once and I'll go for their blind side so we can do a bunch really quickly." he said before drawing his blade closer to himself as he whistled to get any close goblins attention and hopefully away from the canons.
"The canon ones are the biggest threat, let's take them first." he said before moving quickly to attack to take one real quick. This would hopefully end quick so they could move on to the next section, but hey these things were never as simple as they said they were.
blank, together is better hamtaro~ |

Blank didn't have the ability to look into the future or rewind to the past. But he did have the unfortunate ability to see when a battle was about to begin. The space where his heart was began to glow and he could see the outline of it protruding from his chest. A sense of dread washed over him but also the fire in his veins burned brighter as he charged his way forward. Wisteria began his assault on the cannon-wielding goblins and as he did, Blank activated Invisible Air. He could hear his own breathing and the pounding of his heart but the adrenaline carried him past the cannons. Most of the goblins raised their heads, sniffing the air and turned to him, others who moved to engage Wisteria also turned their heads. Blank stood with a brandished sword, gaze flicking between inhuman faces as they approached him. It was at least a lot nicer than being in a mad house filled with ravenous undead. But as one of the goblins started drooling, Blank wasn't quite sure of that notion anymore. They continued to approach and circled around him, and he made a few steps backwards to try and buy Wisteria time to attack a few of them on the outer edges of the crowd. "This won't last for very long, take as many as you can and stand back."If he could use Elemental Reel then this could be over in a flash but he was unable to access it yet due to his low level. Blank bit the inside of his cheek as he kept eyes on the goblins. wisteria
Invisible Air is used! It attracts the attention of the goblins towards Blank, what will you do next?

Wisteria had managed to get a few hits in before the others seemed to realize he was attacking and started to engage him. At least that was until he felt the wind start to shift and they seemed to be drawn to something else - what Wist would find was Blank. An ability huh? Then he couldn't let it go to waste as the attacker quickly struck forward and did a huge amount of damage to the goblin he had been fighting managing to drop its health bar to zero. Before it completely faded however he quickly activated his skill Contract. Blue glyphs surrounded his feet and where the monster was standing as it was surrounded in blue light before it faded meaning the contract had been completed.
Before the beasts could get too close Wist moved as glyphs started to surround his hands next. "Beast tamer skill, Call of Summoning." he said as another glyph appeared on the ground and the goblin he had just defeated was summoned from the circle. Brandishing a new club of its own it moved forward by its new owners command and struck at the closest goblin that was going for Blank. It was a good distraction and leaving his summon to a few Wist moved forward quickly to take out anything that too close to Blank.
"You got it, I have an attack buff right now, so I can take out about three real quick, and my summoning probably one or two." he said before his eyes glanced back at Blank. "Got it." he said hearing the others order to do a few then move out of the way. Wist followed up on what he said with a few strong attacks through non guarded monsters made them turn digital rather fast as he took out his required three as his summoning managed to kill off one before he quickly called it back and moved out of the way of Blank.
"Moving out of your way now!" he called to let the other know he was out of his direct range.

Goblins were inhumane creatures. That is what he tried to tell himself as he drew them further away from their weapons. But every once in awhile, one of the goblin's attention would flicker away from him as if they were trying to resist the urge to follow. Desperation lingered in their faces and other emotions which should've belonged solely to humans, not monsters. That's what he tried to tell himself as he watched them take swipes at him. Encroaching from all sides, if he wasn't careful then there was also the possibility of being overrun. That was until Wisteria began picking them off and he could see a goblin attacking its own. Blank had to tear his eyes away from the sight of goblins fighting against one another. It was horrifying to say the least. Two brothers in arms fighting against one another but only one would be able to survive the onslaught. Just the thought of it made his blood run cold. Wisteria's affirmation of being out of his range knocked him from his thoughts. He had to remind himself that the goblins caused this. They started attacking Faywood Village and no matter the amount of good intentions, it was important to protect the people. Even if someone else has to die.The memory of the dead woman was fresh in his mind and Blank steeled his resolve. Gripping the hilt of his sword, he swung it in an upward arc knocking some of the goblin from their feet and began his assault to cut them down as quickly as possible. Invisible Air's effects vanished and attention was drawn to the summoned goblins but it was too late. "Keep going, and keep your distance!"wisteria
Invisible Air is on cooldown for 2 turns, attention has been drawn to the summoned goblins and Blank. Blank has encountered six goblins, what will you do next?

Wistera had noticed that the other seemed almost reserved, did he really believe that these things were real? Well, the players were but the monsters and the other npcs, they could simply respawn. For the first time since meeting him Wisteria was actually curious about Blank and the kind of person he really was behind the avatar. Maybe he had a high level of empathy for whatever monsters and things he had to fight and eventually kill, but Wisteria wasn't sure and well - he really didn't think it was polite to ask.
So instead the white haired male moved to fight after the other had attacked taking out the next goblin in his path as 6 moved to confront Blank again after he had broken off his ability to draw them to him. Still, Wisteria had promised himself he would do everything in his power to make sure no one would die in front of him. He wouldn't let Blank fall, not here, not to such goblins that deserved to be destroyed as quickly as possible. No matter what the other thought of them - his life came first in Wisteria's mind even if he hated him for it later.
His thoughts were stopped however as he heard the other call out to him and say to keep going but keep his distance. This was fine with him and Wisteria would have plenty of time to keep this up at least for now. He did worry about his summon as the others seemed to be concentrated on him too. Wisteria could put his faith in Blank and together they would be able to stop them before they destroyed the village.
"Working on it, I've got your back." he replied quickly as Wisteria moved to make quick work of two more goblins surrounding Blank which left 4 remaining. Two that were fighting his summon who made short work of one and two still on Blank's tail. Wist had seen the other attack so he knew he could handle one on his own so Wist went for the other that was on him doing a couple strikes with his attack buff before it too had managed to disappear into data.
To be fair, this was a hella lot easier when they were targeting something else. Wist's yellow orbs were attracted to his summon though as it seemed that it had taken some damage from being surrounded and instead set his sights on that. "You got the last one blank, so I can go help my summon?" he would ask before moving to help whoever needed it most.

He huffed and puffed. The amount of stamina that he'd been using to combat the goblins was beginning to take a toll on him. But somewhere, deep down inside this was beginning to become a little fun. He was enjoying himself to the point that it was almost a little scary. His fingers wrapped a little tighter around the hilt of his sword and he prepared himself for the next onslaught of attacks. His vision grew tunneled and his breathed labored as he raised his sword and let it fall a few more times. The goblins in front of him continued to fight hard and he found himself being pushed back with their advances. Blank huffed and dug his foot in the dirt as he knocked one to the ground and speared the other with his blade. Once it fell, he turned back to stab the other and twisted his sword in its body. He pressed down hard even as it cried out and screamed but it did nothing to make him stop. Nothing to make me stop.He removed his blade as the monster stopped moving and sighed. There's more. Look out!A voice in the back of his mind told him but Blank's reaction time was slow as a cannon ball slammed into his chest, throwing him backwards as he skidded across the ground. The wind was knocked from him and he gasped for breath as his entire world turned upside down. The remaining goblins that regained their senses after Invisible Air returned to their stations, cries of anguish coming from them at their own fallen. Damn it.wisteria
Blank has dispatched the goblins nearest to him but was shot by a cannoball! He is momentarily confused.

Damn it. Wist had hoped that the other wouldn't have been attacked while he had left his side momentarily. Even blank was doing really well for his own style of fighting at least until one of the goblins had managed to make it's way back to the canon that had hit him. Wist gritt his teeth and quickly moved now to slide in front of Blank to keep any attention on himself for the moment so his partner could get his wits back about him. Even for a little bit Wist could take some damage to relieve the other.
Motioning to the canons his summoning moved in the direction he had pointed him out before starting to glow when he got close. "Summoning Special Technique! Clober!" Wisteria called as the creature raised its weapon high before striking down into the ground causing minor earthquakes to tremble around them and the ground closest to it opened up and started making any other goblin in the area fall into the depths below including two different canons that would stop any more canon balls from being shot.
It would limit their power for now, but hopefully they could finish this off soon. Faywood village didn't have much time left after all, and even with the few wounds he had taken Wist was getting tired. Moving his blade he blocked one attack sent his direction but not enough to take a different attack to his back before throwing both off him. How many more did they have to take down before they would beat them?
