DanMachi RP: Secrets of the Dungeon

At first, Koph's reaction to his version of her explanation caused Voltaire's stomach to twist in knots. He had said something stupid, he just knew it. A sweet rush of relief flooded him as she smiled so brightly it nearly lit the inside of the dungeon. He felt satisfaction in not making a complete fool of himself. He couldn't stop thinking about this song. Ever since he was little, Voltaire would boast about having a sixth sense. No matter who he explained this to, everyone just took it as some strange child's fantasy. It was not quite like having fore-sight but he could almost feel how certain people were going to move. Every now again there would be a strange noise but he always took it as simply the sounds of the city. He had long suppressed this in order to not be seen as an outcast.

It made him think: Was it the song Koph spoke of? And if it was, did they view it the same?

There was never anyone to teach him about it let alone assist him in cultivating the ability "I actually think it is somewhat cool." He countered the jab she made at herself while he grinned "I used to feel something like this Song of yours. I called it my sixth sense." He chuckled at the memory of his ridiculous imagination as a youth "I gave up on it shortly after my few friends starting ridiculing me. It was already hard having friends at that time." He didn't let it show that it bothered him, he was just trying to relate.

However, they were heading down lower in the dungeon. This nice chat of theirs could be over in a flash.

Reylan was at the front of the group already stepping with his bow firmly in his his hands, while his rapier was close by on his hips. A loose arrow was held ready to be knocked and fired at the first sign of an enemy. Despite this being their third time entering a dungeon, the hairs on the back of his neck seemed to stick out. At the same time, it was a kind of comfort knowing that their only worry were the mobs and traps in this dungeon. Everything else could be cast aside with ease.

The sudden change in scenery was jarring but Reylan pushed forward, his keen eyes searching for anything out of the ordinary. He halted upon seeing the five boars appear, their size dwarfed their cousins outside Genesis City. However they did not intimidate him in the slightest. Together the Legion of the Wolf had taken down a dungeon boss far more scary than these things. He knew as long as they played their cards right, they could handle this first encounter with relative ease. It was time to get back to playing the game.

The muscles in Reylan's throat first relaxed then tightened, as his lungs took in a deep breath "Aster and Dirk, take Boars 2, 3, and 4 in the center. Take the hits with your shield Dirk and switch with Aster for an attack! Chari attack Boar 5 on the right and Shiba, attack Boar 1 on the left! Try to get Totaro behind them Dub!" The first step in his strategies was to establish a quick front-line, but they were now lacking the personnel to ideally match one to one. However, they could rain death upon their targets with their amount of ranged fighters. It meant that the melee fighters served basically as a distraction.

Before giving any more orders, Reylan took his almost ceremonial first shot at the Boar directly in the middle "Xenos and River, support Shiba on the left. Uchaka and Alisea, hit the center group and get them to clump together! Steven, you and I will assist Chari on the right! Everyone keep your mana usage low!" His voice carried well through the air, the resolve he found yesterday still rang true within him. There was no Valentine to haunt him here. It was just the Legion and the monsters in front of him, and that he could deal with. It felt good to be back in the thick of it.

He had no idea how Alisea managed to talk him into letting Kyo tag along. Of course the pleading eyes from Kyo did not help in the slightest. Kyo was an NPC and not a player so he didn't know what could be gained from her join the party "Kyo, you just stay back and watch us. Alright?" His tone was stern as to make her understand how dangerous this was. An adventurer just like us....was it even possible?. Reylan didn't want to see how Kyo would react when she learned she couldn't do more than her programming. She would know too, because she had learned a few mechanics of the game from the guild. It seemed she was already an enigma in the NPCs they have met so far.

Kyo nodded sweetly, holding a basic short-sword and starting vest like most of the new players had a week ago. The incitement in her eyes was clearly visible in comparison to her hardly expressive face. Reylan figured it must be similar to telling a kid they are going to be a super hero. He wondered if having Kyo along with them would make everyone fight even harder. If they failed to defeat these monsters, they might go after Kyo. At the very least Reylan would not allow that to happen. Kyo was a wolf just like the rest of them, and he would not allow another one to be taken from their pack.

Arpeggio of Blue Steel: The Phantom Fleet (OPEN --- APPLY)

Shinano sat on the front-edge of her airstrip, looking out into the deep blue ocean as the sun began to crest over the horizon. She had learned to enjoy this little moment of time when the sky was streaked with colors of red, pink and orange. It felt like another life-time ago she had left the Fleet of Fog and gone rogue, to pursue a near impossible dream. A smile creased her lips as she remembered the two humans who helped her on her path towards that dream. It was almost embarrassing to recall how much effort it took to think the way she does now. The beautiful and traditional-style black kimono that she typically wore reflected this. War no longer interested her. Instead, she wished to find a reason to exist outside of it. She could feel the other ships in her fleet through the closed connection they shared. They were her reason for existing right now. Nothing mattered more than them. That was why they were currently sitting in open waters off the coast of Japan. She had spent enough time hiding from Fleet of Fog, specifically her half-sisters. The prime minister of Japan wished to meet with her about a mutual beneficial plan, something that might allow her and her children to be truly free.

There was only one human in the entirety of the Phantom Fleet: Hayashida Kioshi. A brilliant scientist and engineer, he is the son of Hayashida Shoheiand Hayashida Chisa whose work developed the Stealth Drive. Now he carries on their work by helping to maintain the device while studying the technology of the Fleet of Fog. His technical expertise is also useful for repairing some of the more delicate sub-systems of the fleet that can't simply be repaired with nano-material. Half of his life has been spent aboard Shinano and living with the Phantom Fleet. He is a chronic workaholic and often exhausts himself with maintenance, experiments, and repairs. Despite this, he keeps a jolly attitude and considers all of the mental models to be his close friends. He has a particular obsession with Shinao's Super Gravity Cannon and constantly requests a live-firing of the weapon, despite Shinano's persistent rejection.

Shinano was currently waiting for a human ship to come from the direction of the mainland. The Prime Minister insisted that the Phantom Fleet stay just off the coast as the meeting was intended to be secretive and their presence might cause a panic. Launching a ship always had a chance to attract the attention of the Fleet of Fog, but the risk was minimal at this distance. Even so, Shinano had the destroyers and destroyer escort Le Terrible, Yukikaze, and Sammy B. on patrol to spot any hostiles. The light cruiser Ping Hai was in charge of bringing the human ship to Shinano and contacting the rest of the fleet when it arrived. Scharnhorst meanwhile was next to Shinano and well within her Stealth Field. The Battleship was the only other ship in the Phantom Fleet to possess a Super Gravity Cannon, a more recent addition that gave them a significant power boost.

The ocean remained peaceful until a single vessel could be seen coming from the coastline in a direct interception route to the area where the Phantom Fleet was positioned. Of course while the stealth drive was active, there was no way for the vessel to detect or see them. The model of the ship matched the information given by the Japanese Government. A Shimakaze-class destroyer, it was supposed to be one more their newer production missile destroyers. Time had come for the Phantom Fleet to stop running and shift the balance of power.

Meanwhile...somewhere in the Pacific Ocean

Yamato drifted along with the gentle pull of the sea, her mental model completely submerged just a few meters away from her body's vessel. Here she surrendered all of her movements to the will of the ocean, while she meditated and examined her thoughts. This state of being was most soothing to the leader of the Fleet of Fog.

"I-401, what is the situation." Her regal voice called out to her subordinate, across the seemingly endless waves. A response was almost immediate "A human vessel has left land to meet with Shinano. Her fleet consists of one battleship, one light cruiser, two destroyers, one destroyer-escort, and one submarine. Should I have Kongo intervene?" The youthful voice of the submarine was monotone and plain. Yamato feel a strange surge of emotions before fighting them back down. It had been years since they had a proper sighting of Shinano, her sister "Maintain surveillance. Try to see what they are up to." Yamato quickly closed the communication link.

She rose quickly to the surface and created a bridge up to her deck. It had almost broken her heart when Shinano left the Fleet of Fog and Yamato had promised to bring her back. Now that Shinano appeared to be cooperating with humans, it was clear she was farther gone than she hoped. The 'other her' would have a tough job ahead. Every ship was in the Fleet of Fog was built for a single purpose: War. Diverting from that path would only bring sadness and grief. The water that had soaked into her clothes were pulled out and throw back in to the ocean, leaving Yamato completely dry as she stepped towards the edge of the bow. Tough love was sometimes needed to show a loved one their error. A lesson that Yamato would have to teach her younger sister.

❂ Shao Jin-Hwan ❂

After being directed by the secretary to a room further into the station, Shao entered the room stone-faced with his posture perfectly upright and his hands behind his back. Whenever he had to report to a superior officer, this was the stance expected of him. It would be a hard habit for him to crack "Sir, I was told I needed to speak with you about a possible position here." His voice projected through the room clearly, his words carefully articulated so there would he would not be misheard. As much as it was not in his best interest not to do so, he was not concealing his identity as a soldier at all.

He did however look at the detective in the eyes, his expression not giving off many tells. Inside, Shao could feel the pace of his heartbeat increase. Family and the military were the only constants in his life, and he had cast them aside. This feeling of uncertainty was both exciting and terrifying. It was a gamble to be here in the first place but Shao had to go somewhere. If he was given a chance, Shao would show he was be useful and a valuable asset. Shao patiently waited for the detective while watching his movements out of pure habit.

Towering trees with massive trunks surrounded the grand Cathedral, a bright and burning yellow sun shined through small gaps in the tree-top. The cathedral rested at the center of a near-perfect, circular clearing where it seemed its sudden appearance had displaced all the local flora. The density of the trees and the undergrowth suggested that this forest was seldom visited, if at all. If monsters or beasts did inhabit this forest, they were avoiding the strange structure for now. However, there did appear to be movement not too far into the treeline around the guild house if the scent and muted steps were anything to believe.

Outside of the forest, there did not appear to be any civilized settlements of any kind. That was except for the semi-decayed fort to the North-West, which had been the site of a very recent battle. Two individuals were heading in the direction of the forest and would enter it within a few minutes. The ebony armor with red accents suggested they were soldiers, however both were leaving behind drops of blood. A large army was heading south, towards a landscape of jagged hills and little foliage. In the East, the forest transitioned into a lush, green plain with long grass that swayed with the gentle breeze. There is a single carriage in the distance, pulled by a large, lizard-like monster called a Dracolisk. Dracolisk were low to mid level mounts in Yggdrasil depending on a complex breeding system. This one appeared to be of the lower tier and was being escorted by two paladin-looking individuals riding on horses. In the West, was the large army that had just completed besieging the fort to the North. This army consisted entirely of knights with black metal armor and red cloaks in a tight formation of roughly six hundred strong. At the forefront of the formation, was a man with far more elaborate armor and a crown made out of silver or a similar material. His armor was embellished with a intricate design, using the same material as the crown, but was similar to the armor of the knights following him.
