'cause tonight's the night
the world begins again Ever since weird things started happening in Dione, Naomi heard tales of a Sand Mage lurking in the Tomb of Giants. This bounty had popped up all over the place after some statues had been discovered it seemed. From the information she gleaned, it was a difficult creature to go up against, being completely made of sand. It was going to be a challenge to fight it, especially on her own. None of her guildmates were available at the moment, but since she actually wanted to take on a quest now, she decided to just wing it and find any random person to go with her. She used the game's interface to look for any players nearby, watching out specifically for fighters or defenders. Catharsis was an exception to the rule since she'd already partied up with him in the past, but she didn't think it a good idea for two support players to go up against anything by themselves. As she continued her search, someone named Octavia popped up in her list. She decided to pick that one and sent a message, asking if she was interested in joining her for a bounty quest. @octavia OOC: Hope this is okay! quest details

Rough settings and sensitive skin were two things a person didn’t want during a bounty like this. Luckily for Octavia she suffered no such fate besides a supports invite to the cause of battle. The placid smile on her face quirked at the edges; there was a faint hint of joy and ambition in her gaze. Opening the invite her grayish green hues glinted with a keen interest. “A bounty creature to kill and be called ‘master of sands’ aye? Well sure why not..?” Quirking a brow she picked up her rifle and headed out to her destination.[break][break]
[Bounty Party Request: Accepted.][break][break]
Short was her journey as she arrived within the desert runs of BWO. Looking around this reminded her of a past time on a tour overseas. She could still faintly feel the heat rising off of the sands as the whole troop marched through the orange canvas. Here the sands were of a lighter shade and the temperature itself remained steady. It did not threaten to peak out and cause her dehydration and death.[break][break]
Looking around the area, Octavia’s eyes glinted in the bright sun as she searched for her new party member. “Let’s see.. So this is Dione.. It’s kinda nice, I wonder if there is an oasis here perhaps.. Someplace to put a hammock and relax..” The thought was rather appealing as she rested the rifle upon her shoulder. With the barrel to the sky she followed the map directions to their quest start. Upon arrival Octavia gave a gentle smile as she approached Papilion from behind. “So you much be Papilion correct? It’s a pleasure to meet you. Are you ready?”[break][break]
Her voice coo’d a bit before she stepped ahead of the girl. “Let’s get whisker whipped shall we?!” Her joke might go over the young lass’s head maybe it wouldn’t. Either way there was no joy in being whisker whipped by rough sands in the desert. It was hot, unpleasant and completely blinding if caught off guard. Pulling her face mask up over her nose she guarded herself before checking her clip and loading the rifle. Turning off the safety her smile remained beneath the skull print on her face mask. What a beautiful day.[break][break]
Already the signs of their quarry had begun to form. With Giant’s bones lined on either side, Octavia gestured for Papilion to take cover near one of the rib bones. Following in suit she wanted to put a bit of space between the two of them. Upon accepting the party request, Papilion would find herself with a defensive barrier from Octavia’s Shellga passive. Where would this Tanami creature strike first? Or would it be foolish and show itself first and give Octavia the first hit?[break][break]

'cause tonight's the night
the world begins again Naomi sighed in relief when she was notified that the other had accepted her request. Hopefully the other person was a reliable player, and they would easily handle their bounty. She waited right outside the tomb, looking around for any approaching person. Since the area wasn't filled with people, the first person she spotted would no doubt be her companion. She'd taken some time to look back at the tomb and just observe it for a while when someone approached her from behind and spoke up. Turning around in surprise, she found herself staring at a dark haired woman. "Oh! Nice to meet you too Octavia. Yes, I'm ready. Let's go."The woman made a quick comment as she stepped forward. "Whisker whipped?" Naomi repeated in confusion. What did that even mean? Still, she followed her from behind as they headed inside. When Octavia pointed at the bones, Naomi decided to follow her instructions and take cover behind one of the giant pillar of bone. This woman seemed calm and dependable enough, and Naomi was more than happy to hang back and watch from the sidelines if that was what she wanted. To her surprise, as soon as she became part of the party with Octavia, her defenses improved. She felt better with that, though she still worried for the other since she couldn't heal anyone. They waited patiently for something to happen, but so far everything seemed quiet and still. Naomi glanced at the sand, trying to see if she could spot any suspicious movement from there. That was that Tanami consisted of wasn't it? "Maybe I can lure it out for you to attack?" She suggested. @octavia quest details

Octavia kept her optic’s peeled as the other hid behind the bone. Crouching low to the ground the Defender wiggled her nose at the idea of the other helping out. While she was a possible casualty it didn’t hurt to get a little help right? Even if it meant she did majority of the foot work and the other got to kick start this adventure.[break][break]
Without hesitation Octavia raised her hand and gestured for the other to act. Pointing two fingers into the air she wagged them to and fro as if telling her to advance. Moving forward as well she held the rifle firmly in her left hand. Shouldering the weapon the barrel must always be pointed away right? Why did she always needed to remind herself about that rule? Was it a friendly fire at one point? No.. She knew the exact reason why she said it to herself so many times. The memory was vivid and full of blood; there were several bodies filled with hot lead. While in her hands were the smoking guns. Chumps with guns and no manners didn’t deserve to point a gun at her General.[break][break]
So she killed the man and his crew without batting an eye. Her smile was quite present then as well as she emptied a round into someone dome.. Their names weren’t important at this point. That was a memory passed from the human world not BWO. Here people turned into pixels and no one bled.. How boring yet somewhat relaxing right? It kept people from timing out on their headsets on the outside world due to an elevation in Blood Pressure |BP|.[break][break]
“On your mark Papilion.. Let’s put this Sand doll in the ground.~”[break][break]

'cause tonight's the night
the world begins again Octavia's mannerisms remind Naomi of someone from the military. She'd know this from watching such themed movies or TV series in the real world. But also ever since dating Carlo, she would notice some of his quirks and habits. The way this woman took charge and commanded her, and the way she held her weapon, made her assume as such. Spreading her wings out, she lifted herself up into the air and began flying closer to the center of the tomb. Glancing down, she saw Octavia following slowly from behind. And still the sands on the ground remained motionless. When Octavia counted on her to start, she took a deep breath and decided to land, surrounded by all that sand. Her heart thudded fast against her chest as she looked around anxiously. The silence was unnerving, her breathing particularly loud in her ears. A few more minutes pass, and Naomi was beginning to feel both restless and exhausted by the mere waiting. That was when Tanami chose to strike. Everything around Naomi began to tremble, and she immediately took flight to escape whatever it was that was happening. Sand began gathering and rising up, forming a large hand that tried to grab Naomi. She was able to get out of its way, though when it suddenly turned into a fist that shot towards her, she couldn't avoid that completely and was knocked back by a chunk of sand. The sand creature finally took form as it stood up, sand spilling all over its feet. @octavia quest details

Octavia kept her optics peeled as she breathed lightly beneath her mask. Looking left and right she kept a good two feet between them in parallel space. When the other finally landed the distance was then ten feet keeping Octavia covered and out of sight. When the sands began to move around the tomb the woman took a solid aim down her iron sights. Luckily for Naomi the shell effect negated all damage to herself. Meanwhile Octavia’s health wavered for a moment before her battle regen kicked into play. At first the giant fist shot high into the air; clipping Naomi out of the sky Octavia gritted her teeth.[break][break]
When the being finally made its full appearance the woman gently flicked the gun to semi-automatic. Pressing the trigger the bullets struck home upon the beings chest. Tanami wa somewhat startled no doubt, but Octavia did not give him time to pinpoint her location. Having moved behind a giant rock she kept herself moving. She had a feeling he could sense her through the sand that did not stop her from trying. Popping her head out around the corner a large ball of sand struck the rocks side. The force pushed the giant rock back knocking Octavia a few steps out of the way. This would be no easy feat to defeat an all sand being. On her opposite side the sand came to life. It rushed at her in a semi tidal wave looking to crush her into the rock face and entomb her.[break][break]
Without hesitation the woman rolled forward and out into the open. Taking a moment she fired off an extra shot in Tanami’s direction. The bullets missed him by inches as she continued her advance forward to the next spot. The ground shifting and spinning beneath her boots.[break][break]
