event four | can a chest that can't be opened really be called a chest?

CHARACTERS: Any and all!
DATE: 19th~22nd
RATING: PG for foul-mouthed NPCs
SUMMARY: The NPCs around town are spreading rumors of a dungeon chest that can't be opened. If you ask them nicely, they'll give you the area words Δ Choosing Superior Offerings. What you do or what you'll try from there is up to you!

The NPCs around town are busy murmuring to each other and eyeing the adventurers curiously, wondering aloud if anyone in Mac Anu would fall for such folly. Surely not, but who would ever know the root of the story if no one went to look? It spreads through the town like wildfire, this rumor of a dungeon chest that will not open for any who have tried. Some don't know the area words, but they know who will and will forward any eager or curious adventures to them.

Once at the dungeon, however, things are a little different. There are far less monsters to be found-- in fact, hardly any at all. It's a level 11 temple dungeon, with three floors. One needs only to reach the second floor to start hearing voices...


( ooc: As always, be sure to tag your chara name into the log when you reply! If you'd like a mod to NPC the townsfolk or NPCs in the dungeon for you, please just let us know with a subject title holler. :)

The NPC in the dungeon is squat and fat, shadowed in heavy robes. They'll threaten and harangue anyone who comes to them, and summon undead goblins to fight you after a while. Once you've defeated all six, he warps off and leaves the way to a new chest unbarred-- a chest which now opens and has unremarkable items inside. The event itself is the important part, though, and the first of three ongoing events. )

[A treasure chest that won't open? Sounds like a challenge! But the level gap was a big problem. If he went in there alone, he'd surely end up fighting something, or someTHINGS, that would just walk all over him.

Ryusei sat next to the chaos gate on the first floor staring at the passage before him, contemplating what course of action he should take.]
isolates: (if you say so)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-06-22 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Suddenly there's the sound of the Chaos Gate activating and someone slightly familiar should be dashing through. He heads straight into the dungeon, not noticing Ryusei sitting there and obviously not bothered by the fact that it's a level 11 dungeon.]
minetodecide: (Ryusei - shocked/confused)

[personal profile] minetodecide 2012-06-22 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
(Hmmm...perhaps I should call the guild leader. She seems strong. Or maybe..Hmm? Hey, that's Yuuta. What's he....!!)

Hey! Wait a minute, Yuuta!

[He quickly rises to feet and gives chase]
isolates: (just a simple boy)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-06-22 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
[The boy stops in his track and turns around when he hears his name. His eyes widen slightly at the sight of Ryusei but he recovers quickly and smiles.]

Ryusei-nii! Are you going to check out the chest too?
minetodecide: (Ryusei - surprised lvl whut)

[personal profile] minetodecide 2012-06-22 12:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah I am but, Yuuta. It's dangerous inside, there might be monsters and given the level of this place, strong monsters. What were you thinking rushing in?!
isolates: (what are you talking about)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-06-22 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm? It's not that bad. At least, it's below my level so I should be okay. [He appreciates that someone's worried for him but he's pretty sure he can handle the dungeon.]
minetodecide: (Ryusei - doubt lvl 2)

[personal profile] minetodecide 2012-06-23 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
(Wait...Below his level?)

....What level are you?
isolates: (secretly a devil)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-06-23 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
Sixteen! [As soon as he says that he realizes something.] Oh, you thought I was lower leveled, didn't you? Don't underestimate me just because I'm young!
minetodecide: (Ryusei - smile 2)

[personal profile] minetodecide 2012-06-23 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[He keeps quiet and looks away, scratching his face sheepishly. He had honestly thought that.]

Sorry. I guess you can't judge a book by it's cover.

[He places a hand on Yuuta's shoulder then looks at him and smiles.]

Alright then, Yuuta. Let's go. I'll be relying on you!
isolates: (you can depend on me)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-06-23 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't worry, if there are really strong monsters, I can protect you.

[He's already used to playing protector for people older than him anyway.

Nevertheless, he pulls out his Relic and pokes at it for a few seconds.]


Here, accept my party invite!
minetodecide: (Ryusei - idle 2)

[personal profile] minetodecide 2012-06-24 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't like how he has to rely on a child, but he doesn't have much of a choice. Ryusei takes out his relic and accepts the invitation.]

Alright then. I'll be counting on you, Yuuta.
ladieswhodresslikemen: (serious)

[personal profile] ladieswhodresslikemen 2012-06-24 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Not too far off, there's a purple-haired someone that caught bits of that.]

Hey, you.
isolates: (if you say so)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-06-24 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yuuta turns his attention away from Ryusei to look at the newcomer. He points at himself for clarification.]

Us?
ladieswhodresslikemen: (barside frustration)

[personal profile] ladieswhodresslikemen 2012-06-24 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, you, what are you blind?

I'm going with you.
isolates: (god dammit!)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-06-24 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[He is not impressed. Usually he wouldn't mind if he was asked nicely but...

He puts his hands on his hips, frowning.]


Hey, don't decide things on your own!

[Ryusei might have to step in because no matter how mature he might seem, he's still ten.]
minetodecide: (Ryusei - idle/thinking 3)

[personal profile] minetodecide 2012-06-24 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Now now, calm down. [He pats Yuuta on the shoulder then turns towards Faris.]

Hey, don't you think you could have asked that a bit more politely? Try asking again and he may consider letting you join.[Ryusei gestures to Yuuta with one hand.] Yuuta IS the party leader after all.
ladieswhodresslikemen: (barside frustration)

[personal profile] ladieswhodresslikemen 2012-06-25 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Faris tries to summon up what remains of those crash-course etiquette lectures she was given once the chancellor of Tycoon found out she was their long-lost first princess.]

fine... May I please accompany you?

[Ugh. She tries not to gag, and is, albeit barely, successful.]
minetodecide: (Ryusei - idle/thinking 3)

[personal profile] minetodecide 2012-06-25 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Ryusei nodded and looked to Yuuta.]

Well? I'm fine with him joining.
isolates: (just shut up)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-06-25 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Yuuta shrugs and holds up his Relic. Even though he acted irritated, he's too conditioned to help people to ignore someone who obviously needs him in order to go through the dungeon.]

Fine, gimme your member address so I can invite you to the party too.
ladieswhodresslikemen: (ughhhh)

sorry for late

[personal profile] ladieswhodresslikemen 2012-06-30 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
Here.

[She swaps member addresses with both Ryusei and Yuuta, since she knew neither of them.]
isolates: (gonna think about it)

that's okay!

[personal profile] isolates 2012-06-30 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
[And a second later she should get a message on her Relic asking her to join a party.]
ladieswhodresslikemen: (the usual)

[personal profile] ladieswhodresslikemen 2012-07-01 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Which she of course accepts.]
minetodecide: (Ryusei - idle 2)

[personal profile] minetodecide 2012-07-03 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
[He nods and smiles. That went well!]

Alright then. I'm Ryusei Sakuta, nice to meet you.

[He turns his attention towards back to the dungeon. He takes a deep breath, still feeling a bit uneasy.]

Shall we?
isolates: (you can depend on me)

[personal profile] isolates 2012-07-03 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, let's go!

[And so he leads the way into the dungeon. Hopefully this time they can actually make it in without any more disruptions.]
ladieswhodresslikemen: (what happened to your mouth)

[personal profile] ladieswhodresslikemen 2012-07-04 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
[To the dungeon then!]
