He decided to make use of the visual bait his hunting partner, Burning Blossom, was providing by clambering his way up the side of a conveniently placed building and swapping his gun out for a short sword. He squinted to gauge the distance to the nearest dragoon for a brief moment, then ejected from the side of the structure as the first shot was fired, the sword held over his head and aimed for the head of his cybernetic prey. Following Emma's retrieval from the Newspaper Club, the pair had gone back to her house to initiate the grind the two had agreed on. Snacks and drinks had been taken from the cupboards and refrigerator respectively, a little groping from both parties had occurred, and the pair bolted up to the girl's bedroom. Not out of lust, no, but out of the excitement for their coming adventure. To many, grinding was painful and boring, something that had to be done to advance one's own abilities to the competitive level. But for Aaron, it was like a drug. Quite like an addict needs a fix of their drug of choice, the American needed to reach that next level, kill this boss, or acquire this drop. In the grand scheme, it didn't matter all that much because of the power upper-level players possessed, but it always helped to strive for that level. Emma had set herself up on her bed, and Aaron had taken the office chair by her desk before they both logged in. [i]Vendetta[/i] broke into a mass of burst damage when Nyx's sword made contact with the cyber dragoon's head, the tip piercing the metallic plating and forcing itself through the lizard's circuits, essentially killing the beast in one move as he took off the last fraction of its health with a ripping removal of the blade. The rogue's eyes lit up a bright orange as [i]Euphoria[/i] activated and started to passively heal him, essentially protecting him from small amounts of damage he might pick up along the next few seconds. His cloak fluttered slightly as he hopped down from the falling carcass' neck and traded the sword for the gun once again, using his second action to barrel-stuff a second dragoon, aiming for the hideously obvious weak point within the lizard's mouth. His current 'accuracy by volume' tactic worked well, another metal beast falling to his hand and dropping delicious XP Crystals all around him. [color=maroon]"We've got this one in the bag alr-"[/color] His haughtiness was interrupted with the aggro of a dissolution swapping to him and attacking him, a wide sweep of the tail sending the rogue flying into the same building he had jumped from moment ago. Most of the damage was mitigated thanks to [i]Euphoria[/i] ticking after he fell from the newly formed crater, though he could still feel the impact. [color=maroon]"We need some tanks..."[/color] He groaned as he stood back up, shaking out his avatar to make sure everything survived the attack. [@KoL][hr][center][h2][color=sienna]Aderyn Finch[/color][/h2][/center] Aderyn pulled open the door to this famed [url=http://i.imgur.com/NAJn6.png]coffee shop[/url] after a short walk the two shared, mostly making some form of idle conversation about events happening in the world. During this trip, she couldn't help but admire the features Masae displayed proudly. The two of them were the closest things to tech wizards in the entire school, but the taller girl seemed to own it better than her, probably because of the glasses she wore. She would never admit it until pressed, but she honestly thought the spectacles brought her eyes out very well, and quite frankly, made her look sexy. The Welsh girl blushed at the thought as she took a seat at a counter, making an attempt to hide her face by looking down at the counter. Truth be told, she had actual feelings for her roommate, but didn't wanna make things awkward by voicing this. Instead, when the blood receded from her face, she looked up at her friend from the seated position. [color=sienna]"Y'know, I think you could stand to get back into Deep Ground... I'd be glad to help you out, give you a partner to work with, or something like that?"[/color] She tacked a soft smile onto the end of the request, genuinely hoping that she would agree to hop back into it with her.
