Sealed_Stars: Save the dancing for a Minstrel.
Sealed_Stars: Let's just roll them!

Run away, another Land Mine...

Sealed_Stars: ...I think I'm running out of traps.
Sealed_Stars: Help me get them close.
Sealed_Stars: Going to use what I have on Claymores.

Guest

Petals_In_Soprano: All right, Sealed! I'll try!

The sage character moves towards the enemies before moving back in an attempt to get them moving closer.

Petals_In_Soprano: Hey, I think I'm doing it!...
Petals_In_Soprano: Emphasis on think.
Petals_In_Soprano: Can you land a claymore from here?

Subject: Re: Adventures in MMOing [Cecil] Wed Feb 14, 2018 12:03 am

Looking at it...
Almost.
Sealed_Stars: Not yet.
Sealed_Stars: Claymore's down, it's a 5x5 area.
Sealed_Stars: Gonna circle it, you set it off.

Guest

Petals_In_Soprano: All right!

She attempts to lead the mobs into the claymore area, humming to herself while doing so.

Petals_In_Soprano: I'm going to set the thing off!
Petals_In_Soprano: or did i already do that? IDK, i'm not a trap person --;

As the pair approach, Cecil stops and prepares a skill, allowing his target to catch up and hit him a couple times. Meanwhile, as Petals and her opponent cross over the trigger point for the Claymore, flame bursts over the tiles.
Sealed_Stars: NOW you set it off.
His own Arrow Shower completes, raining down another AoE and finishing off the enemy chasing Petals.
Sealed_Stars: So, you're free.
Sealed_Stars: Help?

Guest

Petals_In_Soprano: Oh, right!

She scans for any more enemies around the area, if she does find one, she uses a Fireball on it, mumbling something along the lines of 'How many more are there?' Afterwards, she blinks a couple times before her eyes light up.

Petals_In_Soprano: ...Why do I now notice that the music in this game is pretty good?!
Petals_In_Soprano: It's no ABBA or North, but, huh!
etals_In_Soprano: Guess I was zoned pretty into battling not to notice it.

Subject: Re: Adventures in MMOing [Cecil] Wed Feb 14, 2018 10:52 pm

Oh thank god for that fireball. Stopping for the Arrow Shower had ended up being distinctly painful.
Cecil sighed as he took stock of his resources. His health was suffering, but...
I definitely need more traps. I haven't been keeping track of them properly.
There goes a little more of my money.

He makes to notify Petals, and notices more messages as he's typing. A little smile appears on his face.
Sealed_Stars: It is, yeah. Better with a decent pair of headphones.
Sealed_Stars: ...though I much prefer this to ABBA. I haven't even heard of the other one.

Making sure to check her resources, Calanthe looked at her stats with a small frown. "Well, my health is less to be desired...my SP is in the same state...Might have to use some of my potions, there goes my extra cash..._{and I was saving up for that Eagle Staff too!}" She whispered to herself and noticed a response to her messages.

Petals_In_Soprano: Oh, really? That's all right!
Petals_In_Soprano: And North is the title of a song I like; it's by a band called Sleeping at Last!
Petals_In_Soprano: I have a link to it somewhere...i'll post it when I find it!

Subject: Re: Adventures in MMOing [Cecil] Thu Feb 15, 2018 12:15 am

A song link, huh...?
That reminded him...
Hmm.
It couldn't hurt.
Cecil quickly tabs out and searches something up.

Sealed_Stars: If we're talking songs right now, I have one.
Sealed_Stars: From another game - .hack, I believe.
Sealed_Stars: Try this:
Sealed_Stars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

Guest

Calanthe clicks on the link and--

Ok, A RICKROLL?! 'It's still so catchy though...'

Cue chuckling which soon turns into giggling as Calanthe types out a response, letting her laughter die down before hitting send.

Petals_In_Soprano: AAA
Petals_In_Soprano: X/
Petals_In_Soprano: MR. ASHLEY, WHY ARE YOUR SONGS SO CATCHY YET THE PERFECT TOOL TO USE ON FORUM THREADS?!

Subject: Re: Adventures in MMOing [Cecil] Thu Feb 15, 2018 6:12 pm

That still hasn't gotten old yet.

Sealed_Stars: They're perfect BECAUSE they're so catchy.
Sealed_Stars: I mean, the track's cheesy as hell
Sealed_Stars: But it's still catchy, and that makes it hard to get out of your head.
Sealed_Stars: A perfect trap.
Sealed_Stars: I'm just pleased I got you. That makes twice this week.

Guest

Well, she has to agree there, the track is cheesy...yet so catchy.

Petals_In_Soprano: And once you're trapped by the Roll, you can't escape it,
Petals_In_Soprano: It will always be there. Watching and waiting.
Petals_In_Soprano: Until your guard is down, and when you least expect it...
Petals_In_Soprano: It'll appear yet again!
Petals_In_Soprano: and what do you mean by twice this week?

Subject: Re: Adventures in MMOing [Cecil] Thu Feb 15, 2018 7:26 pm

Seemed like they understood what he was on about. Cecil smiles a little.
Though...yeah, they'd been idling too long.
Cecil starts to head back to town.

Sealed_Stars: We should get moving. They'll respawn soon, and I need new traps.
Sealed_Stars: Anyway-
Sealed_Stars: Got someone else with the same trick earlier in the week.
Sealed_Stars: Flower-fond forum newbie that I managed to catch out.
Sealed_Stars: Amazing what you can get away with on the internet, huh?

Guest

Calanthe starts to follow along, but not before noticing the response to her message and typing a quick reply.

Petals_In_Soprano: Yeah, I need to heal up too.
Petals_In_Soprano: Oh, yeah! The internet's amazing! One time, I made a topic on a forum about what music people like! That was pretty fun; got rid of the monotony of studying for a while.

Subject: Re: Adventures in MMOing [Cecil] Thu Feb 15, 2018 7:45 pm

...was-
Was he-
Were they-
The odds were stupidly low, but he had to know.

Sealed_Stars: I remember seeing that one. Utter chaos.
Sealed_Stars: I mean, bloody hell, there was NICKLEBACK.
Sealed_Stars: NICKLEBACK.
Sealed_Stars: But I guess you'd already know about that, wouldn't you Orchid?

...
Please be right, please be right, please be right...
...this is going to look so great if it works.
