The World

<Yep.>

*Monudon starts heading towards the remaining magic portals*

Everyone follows along.

*The Portal opens, spewing out a Mu Guardian & a pair of Snip Snaps.*

Euryale: Ugh. Is it just me, or do we always have to fight these Mu Guardians?

<They must be a really common spawn here.>

*Monudon charges the Mu Guardian, stabbing at it*

"Thats what happens when you farm exp from one area I guess," Noct said, stabbing at the Guardian as well.

Mortal uses her four hitting spin attack on one of the Snips, and Sab uses a Juk Rom on it.

*By this point, the monsters have been allowed to spread out. Luna & Zalera attack the other Snip Snap. It attacks Luna, the other attacks Mortal, but is almost out of health. Trusting that the Wavemasters are safe, Euryale goes to help with the Mu Guardian. As it floats past Monudon & swings at him, Euryale starts hacking into it from behind.*

Euryale: I'd save the magic for the Mu Guardian, if I were you.

*Monudon ducks under the swing then slashes again*

Hector attacked the Mu Guardian.

Sab uses a Juk Kruz on the Mu Guardian. Mortal attacks the Snip. Noct stabs at the Guardian again.

*On its last 25% of health, the Mu Guardian attempts a Gan Rom to freeze its attackers in place, just out of reach of their strikes. However, the spell flings rocks uselessly aside once it collapses, having been hit by Thiera's Merrows. The Snip Snap also collapses, & both monsters fade into treasure chests. The remaining monster stubbornly clings to life, but is unable to gain ground, as Luna & Zalera keep blocking its claw attacks, & stabbing it while the other is blocking.*

*Monudon runs over and stabs at the remaining monster*

Noct takes the treasure from the Snip, and Sab goes to get the treasure from the Guardian.

Mortal goes to kill the last monster with another slash.

*The last Snip Snap falls & fades into obscurity. Noctis & Sab obtain a scroll of The Moon & The Lovers, respectively.*

Euryale: Whew. Alright, let's see what we've got.

Level Up!:

Noct gives a lil' fist pump, "Well, I went up to level 30."

"25 for me and Sab," Mortal said.

<I'm only up to 21.>

"21, too," Hector said. "Cool."

Euryale: 24.

Thiera: I am now level 21.

Zalera: 24.

Luna: 25

Euryale: It looks like about half of us are now in a good range to take on that thread.

Thiera: Isn't it Level 30?

Euryale: 5 or so levels below is good enough. After all, it's not a game without an element of risk, right?

Thiera: I suppose...so, should we tell Wiseman that we're ready now?

"I don't see any reason to wait around for it," Noct said with a shrug.

*Monudon shrugs, not knowing who that is*

Euryale: Alright, I sent the E-mail. What do you want to do while we wait for a response?

<We could stock up on supplies.>

"I'm good on supplies," Noct said, "But if you guys aren't I suppose we should go get some."

"So, how was everyone's day?" Mortal asked.

Noct looked at her, "Seriously?"

"What, not like we have anything else to do, and we're 'friends' but we never talk," Mortal said.

"Fine, my day was alright, I guess. I didn't do much but play The World... obviously."

Euryale: Do any of us even have money?

*Aroma walks up.*

Aroma: I had fun.

Thiera: I didn't have very much homework. It was a refreshing change of pace.

Zalera: Shit, gtg

*Luna sticks her spear in the ground, leans on it, & folds her arms.*

<I played with my little cousin and her rabbit for a bit.>

*Monudon turns to Zalera*

<Alright, see you!>

"Later," Mortal and Noct said in unison.

"So, what exactly are you studying for, Thiera?" Mortal asked, "If you don't mind my asking."
