Himika hardly had enough time to take a few moments breath before she was approached by someone she didn't recognize. A tall guy with handsome features and really nice hair. She was actually taken a back by how good looking he was. It brought an involuntairy blush to his face.

Then he ruined everything by opening his goddamned mouth.

"I'm rather surprised a pretty girl could keep on her toes with a man like Heathcliff. I can respect that. Those were some pretty good moves, though. I've never seen anyone get that close."

The half assed comment made Himika's mood turn foul, and turning away from him, she would sheath her sword.

"I'm sure after leveling up a few more times, and honing your skills, you might actually be able to beat him. The name's Kuromi, but you can call me, Rome."

She glanced at him from the corner of her eye, noticing he had a hand extended out towards her. Turning her head to look at him, she raised her brow. Did he really think he was going to get a nice hello from her after that comment he pulled? As if.

"Rome huh? Let me tell you one thing." she said in a low voice, stepping over to him and keeping her voice down to not disturb anyone. "If you're implying that a girl can't hold her ground like a man can, you really need to rethink that idea." she said, raising her arm and pointing past him, she pointed to Asuna, arguably the strongest female rapier user in the game. "Don't assume my goal after this will be to beat him. After this meeting is over, I wont ever think of that man again, or whatever kind of cheat he uses in combat." she said, referring to the thing Heathcliff had done with his shield. "My goal is to make get this game cleared, so don't think you need to tell me I need to hone my skills. Afterall..." Taking a few steps until she was standing at his side, she patted his shoulder. "I'm still leagues better than anyone here." she gave him a smirk and and removed her hand.

Walking past him, she didn't allow him a chance to speak or say anything else to her. She didn't care what he had to say. All she cared about now was the safety of her guild mates, and according to some things that were said, two in particular were in trouble. She went over to Mez and Pterro, and as soon as she was about to apologize for her behavior, Pterro turned to her and started talking in his abnormally loud voice, causing her to cringe in surprise.

"Himika, that was fuckin' sweet, I want to go high-five Heathcliff though, he seems like someone that would HATE that you know?" He chuckled and she smirked, giggling as well. "You better hurry up, Mez is probably going to rush out any second, don't want to miss the chance at a boss drop right?" He did his best to raise an eyebrow but failed miserably and went with a wink instead. This cased Himika to turn about as red as her hair and she was flustered for a moment. "I uh... um. Uh... no I suppose I don't want to miss that. And uh... I wanted to say that I..." her voice trailed off and she looked at him for a long time. Tell him... tell him Himika... just tell him how you feel. That you love him! she thought to herself.

Smiling again, she made a fist though her blush didn't fade. "Pterro... we'll find them. And.. I'll protect Laurent for you, with my life." she said, rather than what she wanted to. Nodding once, she looked at Mez and then Laurent. 'I'm going after Divinity!" she said before turning and running out the door. Attania and Durdansa were out there and their lives were in danger. Hell... it would be on Himika's shoulders for wasting time if one of them...

Died.

Information about Support/Combat Skills

I have here an optional use guide to keep track of your characters abilities within the RP, if you feel you want to put in that much effort. First, a couple of things. The maximum number of skill slots is 12 per player. Though in the show, the spots are meant to be gained slowly, (one every 8 levels) I will make an exception since my character is a Blacksmith and thus needs to use more than are required for her level. You can use all twelve spots, but it doesn't mean you should. I mean, whats the point of your character being OP at the start and not learning and gaining experience, I mean that's no fun. In my opinion at least.

That said, the guide for leveling up the skills will be 10 points per level. So, if you level from 45-46, all your skills get raised by ten points. It is always out of 1000. Also if you want, you can move some points. For example if you gain a level, you can always give 5 points to one skill and 15 to another. See how that works? That way by level 100, in theory, all your skills get to 1000. Hopefully that makes sense. Keep in mind also what kind of character you want. Specialize. Make sure your skills compliment your character well and don't focus on being OP, come on. Haha. Well now, enough from me, here's the list of skills. Remember. 12 is the max! I'll take out the Blacksmithing ones.

@ReaptheMusic liked the post. My only thing is to make sure you're keeping track of HP. The game stresses each player making sure their HP doesn't run out. I'd say after a sword hit in the back (not so much leg and shoulder) or rather any hit on the torso front or back would do a good deal of damage. Make sure you talk about this in the next post and take a potion or something. :)

@souleaterfan320

You didn't have to quote my entire post XD you should probably edit that out

Also it was kinda small. I suggest putting reactions to certain parts or some things like that to lengthen it a little.
