The World

"Got any immediate plans?" Hector asked after taking a more extensive look around at the scenery.

Barrow: <I was just going to train for a while. Want to party?>

"Yeah, sure," Hector replied.

Barrow: <Awesome. Can I have your member address then?>

*Monudon continues on his way to the Chaos Gate*

*The Chaos Gate is a rotating circle with a translucent blue film of gas suspended inside. It isn't that hard to find.*
============================================
*While they're shooting the shit, a giant, walking mushroom with a mouth full of knife-like teeth dashes over a hill towards them.*
============================================
Euryale: That's the spirit! And you--

*She points at Thiera, who turns to the side for some reason.*

Euryale: Don't be so timid about asking to join a party. I'd be glad to give you my member address.

"Alright then, I guess we're all ready to go," Mortal said.

"So we'll all form a bunch of parties?" Rune asks.

*Monudon walks over to the gate*

Monudon:[ Now what were those keywords again? Oh right.]

*Monudon enters "Closed Geothermal Hypha"*

*Creed, Euryale, & Thiera are now a party. I don't know what everyone else is doing.*

Thiera: So, what area do you plan to go to? I should buy spells that are the opposite of that field's element, right?

Euryale: Wow, good thinking...hey, you're not just pretending to be a newbie, are you?

*Thiera shakes her head rapidly.*

Thiera: I'm not, I swear! I just...think ahead, is all.
====================================
Prarie

*Monudon emerges on a field of red & orange hues, next to a giant mushroom. At the base of the mushroom are three smaller mushrooms with faces painted on them. They turn towards her, making springing noises.*

<Mushroom! ...Mushroom!>

"I think visiting the shop is a great idea" Creed smiles.

Rune is dejected.

*Monudon runs up and attacks which ever mushroom is closest*

Mortab was kind of just tagging along.

--

Noct made her way over to a Chaos Gate.

*The attack bounces off of the mushroom, which springs up & down more rapidly.*

<Mushroom! ...Mushroom! ...Mushroom!>
===================================
Euryale: A friend of mine posted a bunch of keywords on the board. The two lowest level ones are wood. But you shouldn't expect every monster who appears to match the area's theme. It would be best if we each had skills from different elements. Come on.

*She heads for the shop, passing a sour-looking female Twin Blade.*

OOC: Welp, guess Rune's out of the rp then since he has nothing to do.

Creed follows.

*Monudon looks confused*

Monudon:[ Am I not supposed to attack these things?]

*Monudon attacks again just to be sure*

OOC: I can't do everything myself. Euryale & Thiera are both in a full party, it's not like they can say, "Join me."

Euryale: How 'bout you hold off on that Book of Stone? We may also run into fire monsters, & Heavy Blades can't use water skills.

Thiera: Okay.

*And so Euryale purchases a Book of Stone & Thiera buys a Book of Flood.*

Euryale: Now you just select it from the menu, &....

*Euryale produces a thick book, seemingly from nowhere. Its pages are blown open from a mysterious wind. Glowing words leap off of the page & disappear into her avatar. Finally, the book turns gray, & falls apart.*
===================================
*The attack bounces off of the mushroom.*

<Mushroom!>

Bear: Hahahaha.

*She turns to find a male Blademaster behind her. His avatar is wearing little more than grieves & a black kilt. An Earth Wave runs up either side of his body. The top half of his head & the right side of his torso, including his arm, are painted blue.*

Bear: Those aren't monsters, they're Grunty Food. You can pick them, & feed them to Grunties on the other servers.

<...Mushroom!>

*Kelphy eventually decides to just go for a run and relax, entering the words "Closed Geothermal Hypha" into the Chaos Gate.*

OOC: True.

"I'v been meaning to buy a book of blaze..." Creed muses.

Monudon:< Really? Wow, I feel stupid. Thanks for the help.>

*Monudon picks up a mushroom*

*Blake, not able to find any areas around his level, decides to enter the the keywords Closed Geothermal Hypha, as it was the closest thing he could find at the moment.*

Delta: Closed Geothermal Hypha

Prarie

*The other 2 mushrooms continue to bounce up & down.*

<Mushroom! Mushroom!>

Bear: Well, you know, there's no rule saying that you CAN'T attack Grunty Food. I like to do it sometimes when I'm having a bad day. Hm?

*Golden rings appear in midair, moving down & forming the characters Kelphy & Blake, as they Gate into the area.*

<Mushroom!>

Bear: Well, now. Looks like this is a very popular field today.
===============================
Euryale: Go for it. Hey, you don't have anywhere to be, do you? Hey...Thiera!

Thiera: Sorry, I was on Word. I thought you were talking to Creed. No, I'll be at my computer pretty much all day.

Monudon:< I know, but I honestly though they were trying to attack me. Anyway, do you want one of the mushrooms?>

*Monudon turns over*

Monudon:<Oh, hey.>

Creed buys a Book of Blaze.

"So we're going to help Thiera power level? I'm down for that. Helping new members is one of my favorite things to do!" Creed gave Thiera a thumbs up and the dorkiest smile imaginable.

*Kelphy smiles and waves.*

Kelphy: <Hello.>
