Gyro Zeppeli

Goddamn. I needed 3 narg scale+ to finish my high rank narg armor. I got two and a low rank one. This game actually hates my guts.

Been playing a lot of Generations. Im currently HR5 in the multiplayer, at HR2 I had already gotten a 100% Affinity build. Nargacuga armor, all slots filled with Critical Eye gems to get myself Critical Eye +3. Then, Narg SnS that has a naturally high Affinity. Those two together get me to 70%. Affinity oil gives me that last boost up to 100% affinity. Its nice having a perfect crit rate. I was only able to pull this out because of having an open slot on my weapon as well as a talisman with one more point towards Crit eye on it. Im gonna try and recreate it with high rank gear, but Im not fully sure it will work yet.

@@FractalMoon, *Schwartz heard the words 'friends' and 'captured' and developed an even more angry look on her face.* "King." *She growled the name like it was poison on her lips. She noticed a moment too late the car rushing towards her, and she just barely managed to make a barrier to protect herself in time, but not strong enough to keep her from getting pushed into building behind her. Just barely, she managed to create a cushion out of shadows to prevent her impact from being too damaging, but the force of the car still plowed her barrier, cushion, and all through the brick wall behind her. She stood back up and stepped through the rubble to get out of the building.* "If you will excuse me, I have a shithead I need to take care of." *Shadows densely formed under her feet and then began to rise up into the sky. The platform moved a decent amount into the air before bolting off in the direction of her own apartment.*

@@FractalMoon, "Fuck yourself." *Schwartz said as the shadows around Silver's legs sprung up and wrapped around her arms, wrenching them outwards to her sides and sturdily keeping them from moving as well as binding her legs in place, forcing her to be wide open for attack. Schwartz also dropped a thick screen of shadows blocking Shade from interfering as a layer of Schwartz's gauntlet drew back an inch. With razor sharp focus, Schwartz forcefully stepped forward and gave Silver a powerful punch in the face as the gauntlet slammed forwards for a second, spiked impact not even a moment after Schwartz's punch connected.* "Best interest in mind my ass. If that was true you would leave me the fuck alone. I was making a joke you fuckwads, I saw shady looking bitches playing with guns in the middle of the night, so I make a comment for shits and giggles, so you think its fine and dandy for you to get all up in my shit? Fuck you."

@@FractalMoon, "Whatever this fucking 'prize' is you can shove it right up yer ass!" *Schwartz said as she thrust another set of shadow spikes at Silver.* "This is my first opportunity to really enjoy a nighttime walk in years, and I 'aint gonna let you salty shits screw that up." *Schwartz gathered shadows all around her body and it formed a rather dense armor, including a face mask. Similar to Weiss' hero suit, but with a few design differences. Shadows formed more densely around her forearms and hands, creating tough, powerful spiked knuckle gauntlets. Schwartz took a fighting stance and more shadowy tendrils creeped up around the two opponent's legs. At the moment, they were merely shadow, so there would be no feeling to it, but on command, Schwartz would be able to solidify and bind them to trip the two up should she need to.*

@@Derplight Sperkle, *Schwartz noticed one of the suspicious characters moving quickly toward her mentioning something about a 'grand prize' she didn't know what he meant by that, but it annoyed her. She turned towards the man and held up her hand, shadows violently rose from the ground and gathered around Schwartz's hand and pointed sharply at the man.* "Back the fuck up. I don't know what you mean by 'Grand Prize' but I really don't fuckin advise you take even a single step closer than you have." *Schwartz said with a sneer. She began to manipulate the shadows behind the man as well, subtly making them ready to spring up at a moment's notice if she needed to.* "Seriously, back the fuck up. I'm not in the mood to deal with creeps like you."

@@Kreinbahthur, "Damnit, we barely managed to deal with him the last time." *King said with an upset look on his face. He tapped his finger on the counter nervously, when Ammit had last appeared he had caused a lot of issues, the only positive thing to come of his presence had been Sasha discovering her sueprnova ability. While it hadn't been nearly enough to take him out, it had been enough to give Abaddon enough headway to send him packing for a good long while.* "So much is going on, and we are spread thin enough as it is." ======= @@Derplight Sperkle, @@FractalMoon, *A black haired girl walked up behind the two and glanced over their shoulders.* "Sharing guns eh? That seems to be a rather suspicious activity, probably very illegal." *Schwartz gave a rather sinister smile.* "Being inconspicuous isn't exactly your forte' is it?" *She stepped back and walked a few feet away, as she did, shadows seemed to radiate off of her. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. She lit up one of the cigarettes, and puffed a cloud of smoke out.* "If you are gonna carry out criminal acts, maybe you guys should make an attempt to look a little less like, y'know, criminals. But who the fuck am I to judge? You wanna tote around guns, that's yer prerogative." *She took another puff from the cigarette and blew the smoke out in a ring, and watched it float away and dissipate in the wind before dropping the cigarette and stomping it out.* "Whatever, enjoy yer guns. I'm gonna get back to my walk."

@@Capricorn, "That other man was Casimir. And I will tell you the truth about him, or rather, what I know about the truth." *King started to say.* "Casimir shares his body with a demon known as Drevenon, that is likely why his presence affected you as much as it did. The thing about him is, he is a very good guy....... as far as his intentions go. He does punish those who commit foul acts with foul acts of his own, but to my knowledge, it is to scale. Eye for an eye, you know?" *King scratched his beard.* "As for the other woman, I would assume you mean Sasha. Tall girl, black hair with a patch of white on her right temple? She is....... having some issues at the moment. She herself is a wielder of light as well as shadow, but her shadows cause her to behave in a rather, sinister, manner when they have influence. Sasha however is fully capable of taking care of herself, even against Casimir, I am pretty sure a fight between them would likely end in a draw."

@@Capricorn, *King helped Eunae to a seat at the table that separated the kitchen from the living room.* "Ill get something made up for you, you look like you should probably have something with a bit more nutritional value than some cold pizza." *King opened the fridge and looked around for some things. He took a few things out and then closed the fridge and took a loaf of bread out of a drawer. He then put together a veggie sandwich and handed the plate the sandwich was on to Eunae. He then sat down across from her and gave her some time to eat.*

@@The Crimson Cross, I don't play online with randoms, but a friend of mine told me he encountered a Kirito the other day.

Not exactly mixed armor, but just wearing all but the helmet because he didnt want his hair and face covered. He rationalized it with "I got to the lagiacrus in tri wearing bone armor and no helmet!"We responded with "lagi isnt even the halfway point of tri's single player." He fell in line pretty quickly. And yeah, if you rush someone to G rank, then they wont have developed the proper skills needed to survive in G rank.

@@The Crimson Cross, Kinda, one of them started belligerently objecting to wearing a full set of armor. He refused to wear a helmet, so we refused to take him on quests. He eventually caved and now is in G2, and is helping to train the second. He still seems to have issues memorizing zones though, so unless he has a map he still gets lost. Heck, sometimes he gets lost /with/ a map. The second got the game not even a week ago and, while he shows a lot of promise, still has a lot to learn. We have been taking our time with him and he is currently in HR3, sporting Gore Magala Armor and Insect Glaive.

I was babysitting my hunting pupils today. My hunting partner was having connection issues so I had to do their teaching and training on my own.

@@Capricorn,@@Kreinbahthur, *King hurried over to see who was at the door. A young girl, seemingly in a large amount of pain mumbling something about demons. King gave Casimir a nervous look.* "You should try to repress your aura a bit. It seems like its crushing her." *He said to Casimir quietly. King crouched down and heard Eunae ask for some water. He headed back inside and took a bottle of water from the fridge and went back to hand it to her.* "You should relax. Take a deep breath, keep calm." *King gave her a warm smile, and noticed a scrap of paper that had scrawled writing on it in the girl's hand. He recognized Sasha's handwriting on the paper, but didn't mention it. He pulled a card out of his pocket. The Star. He touched it to the girl's forehead and it began to glow, the border glowed dimly, but the center of the card radiated healthily. He put the card back into his pocket with the others.* "You seem to have a lot of light within you, or rather, the potential for it. I can see why Sasha sent you here. You must have reminded her of herself when she first found her light. She could barely radiate it herself, but now she exudes it brighter than the sun." *He offered Eunae a hand to help her up and gave a warm smile.* "My name is Alexander King, you look like you could use something to eat."

@@Capricorn, *Schwartz noticed something. She turned to see a light presence hiding in a box, but it was slightly dimmed. Like it was trying to hide. She walked over to the box and crouched down, looking inside.* "You are going to get yourself killed if you keep repressing your light. You obviously can't handle the suppression." *Schwartz growled at her.* "You are lucky that my shadow isn't fully radiant yet. If it was I would likely be beating you right now. You are obviously a being of light. Let it radiate, no matter what. If you suppress it you will never be able to control it properly. Here...." *She took a thing out of her pocket and handed it to Eunae. It was a scrap of paper with her address on it.* "Go here. You'll find people you can trust. For your own sake, next time you see me I won't be in the same state I am now." *Schwartz stood up and began to walk off without waiting for a response.*

@@Kreinbahthur, @@Midnight_Aurora, *King practically launched himself into the living room.* "Sasha's gone!" *He looked to Casimir and Aurora in a panic.* "I stepped out for only a moment! Her window is open! Schwartz must have woken up and taken over, because she's just gone!" ====== *Schwartz was practically grinding her teeth as she walked down the sidewalk in the nighttime darkness. She hated that she had to bail from that place, but if she had stayed, King would have just sealed up the shadow again, and she couldn't let that happen.* "Damnnit, why did he have to be here, such an inconvenience." *She stopped and slammed her fist into a wall in anger.*

"The issue of the matter is that Schwartz isnt a different person inside her head, its still the same Sasha, its just the influence of the negative emotions causes a massive impact on the girl, shs doesnt even remember the things she does once we get the darkness sealed again."*King explained.* "When she learned of what happens, she requested we do what we do, and she was forceful about it. I have been searching for alternate means, but nothing has shown up thus far."

@, "We didn't realize the issue until it was too late." *King said, idly shuffling his cards.* "She had been repressing her darkness nearly subconsciously when her light emerged. When Schwartz emerged for the first time it was already evident that she was not someone whom we could let roam free." *He pointed at the scar on his jaw.* "It certainly left a lasting reminder on me."

@@Midnight_Aurora, *King shook his head again.* "We've never manage to contain Schwartz before either. No matter what she is locked in she always manages to bust her way out. Once we found a meta who's ability was all about layered barriers, he boasted that nothing could break through. When she woke up, she just pounded on the barriers and within minutes, the barriers were broken and the meta was bleeding and crying on the ground. Schwartz hadn't used her powers. She can't be contained, by anything. All we can do is wait, and hope." *He picked the still sleeping Sasha up and carried her into her room, setting her down on her bed. He came back out and went to the kitchen and took a red bull out from the fridge. He chugged it down and stretched his jaw. He then turned to Aurora again.* "I'm going to keep an eye on her until she wakes up. Should Schwartz be the one who wakes, Ill do my best to suppress her. If things go bad, Cas and I should be able to handle it, so if you want to head home you can."
