Cast of Characters: 319, Karian Icefang, Yuuki Konno, Yang Xiao Long


Yuuki Konno has posed:
    When offered the chance to meet 'ojiisan' for real, Yuuki leapt at the chance. One of these days she'd like to get her other friends, the Sleeping Knights, out and about the Multiverse, but she can't easily do so. They don't have quite the virtual world binding she does, and not quite the same freedoms either. It's hard for them to get together other than to play, and there's a long-unspoken agreement among them that they don't bring up the 'real world' more than is absolutely necessary while playing together. They save such things for downtime.

    She's heard Karian now a few times on the radio, and is at least somewhat aware he's not who he appears in-game. He's apparently OLD for one thing. Really old. That's okay though. It'll be fun coming to see him! But of course, Yuuki doesn't show any difference within the game or outside it. While she looks somewhat different IRL, she's not about to show up to a meeting in the flesh, as it were. She's here as her bubbly, small, winged, and above all purple self. Also, she's probably not particularly affected by the cold. That's one big advantage of being a game avatar. She's no more bothered by tundra weather than she is in-game... which is to say, no Alfheim Online avatar needs to bundle up.

Karian Icefang has posed:
    Karian waits in the tundras for Yuuki to arrive, set in his full gear. Despite not being like his avatar, he sure was armored like him. Though unlike the Salamanders of ALO, real world Karian had a pet, a /MASSIVE/ wolf the size of a small tank. The old wolf wondered how his friend would take in such a creature, and he was interested to see this. Of course, he was also waiting for a third member, a certain getter of things.

Fayt Ravus (319) has posed:
    While this area of the foot hills, getting close to the Tundra area of the multiverse is can be a bit ruggid, it's not compleatly devoid of civilization, a few towns still dot the area, last stops for people heading into the tundra to the various research stations and military outposts that dot hte area. A place like this would still need supplies, and someone to bring them there.

    up above, it appears.

    A ship suddenly pops into view. A freighter, the kind you find floating out in the void. nothing too interesting, a giant metal box with engines strapped to it. Though it has an interesting logo painted on it's side. an image of a black dragon, curled around a shipping crate.

    The ship slowly moves towards the ground, heading for a clearing not too far from where Yuuki and Karian are.

Yang Xiao Long has posed:
    Yang is out and about in the Multiverse! Between classes, she looked at what was available to /do/, and picked up an 'Escort Cargo' mission from some place or other.

    The blonde is sat on the bridge of the freighter, looking eminently bored. "Are we there yet?"

Yuuki Konno has posed:
    Yuuki's reaction to Karian and the wolf may well be rather obvious. "Wow! Huge!" she cries out cheerfully. If anything, Karian's even larger and more heavily armored in the real world than he is in game. That shouldn't be too much of a surprise perhaps. His fighting ability in the game is clearly a matter of experience, as contrasted to Yuuki's unearthly reaction speed being a product of her immersion in the game.

    "Will he bite?" Yuuki asks as she wings into range of Karian. Yep. Fairly typical young girl here. It's all about the horse-sized animal. Well, larger than horse-sized. Actually big enough for her entire guild to ride at once while fully armored. She's about to stick her hand out, not particularly caring if the answer is 'no', when the freighter pops into local space. She glances up, then darts upwards to circle Karian a few times, peering up at the ship. "Some kind of a dark dragon thing there around a box. Dark... bad... dragon? I dunno." she says, shrugging, the motion sending her spinning in a way that doesn't look like an accident so much as like an opportunity to show off her aerobatics. "More friends of yours, ojiisan?" she asks, grinning (how else) impishly.

Karian Icefang has posed:
    Karian nods softly. "You can say that. The Black Dragons there are a cargo transportation company. I helped the guy in charge out a while back. And sinse you asked, Ygdril only bites if I tell him to, or if he smells evil on someone. He's gotten very good at the latter." He says. Speaking of Ygdril, the wolf trots over and gives Yuuki a quick sniff over. Once satisfied she was ok, he began to give her a playful nudge, to test her aerobatics. He was a very smart wolf, after all.

Fayt Ravus (319) has posed:
    The ship makes a landing in the clearing, there's a loud hiss as the landing gear settles into place and the engines die down. momments later, the back ramp drops open, as several men begin to move crates off the ship. "We're here."

    amongst hte people walking down the ramp, one stands out. A short, scrawny, pale kid with pale blue hair, carrying an odd staff on his back and what appears to be a clipboard under one arm. He stands at the end of the ramp, slowilw looking. over his sorroundings. "Hmmm."

Yang Xiao Long has posed:
    Yang huhs, then stands and joins the guys helping drag stuff out of the ship. As in, she literally helps by hoisting a crate three times her size on one shoulder, carting it down the ramp. "Where do ya want this?" she asks, waiting to be directed before setting it down. Carefully. WHUD.

    Once that's done, she turns to look at the REALLY BIG WOLF, and EQUALLY BIG GUY IN ARMOUR, alongside a CUTE LITTLE GIRL. "Uh, Hey!" she offers, lifting an arm to wave.

Yuuki Konno has posed:
    "Oh, BLACK dragon!" Yuuki remarks. Ygdril is kind of a monster, and in-game she'd probably fight something like him for huge rewards, but she doesn't go around killing her friends' pets. That's just rude.

    Yuuki flits over to see the people descending from the transport. Friends of Karian, or at least people who he's helped. That makes them okay, at least in her eyes so far.

    Yuuki descends to the tundra, peering first at Yang who makes one heck of an impression. Monstrously strong, and definitely impressive, and kind of epic hair too. She lights delicately on the ground near to Yang but not directly in her path. No sense getting swatted! She bows gracefully, grinning. "You must be the one in charge!" she grins.

    As for Fayt, well, he's not unnoticed. "And that guy looks JUST like Talken! Just dye his hair green and give him glasses." she observes cheerily.

Karian Icefang has posed:
    Karian and Ygdril both head over towards Fayt. As they draw closer, the wolf tilts his head softly towards Yuuki, puzzled why she though that Yang was in charge. "Fayt. Good to see you again."

Yang Xiao Long has posed:
    "Huh? Nah, I'm just here to help out. Scare off bandits or whatever if they get too close." replies Yang to the girl. "Name's Yang, Nice to meet you!" she offers, then turns to watch the big guy and his wolf approach. She's a /little/ on edge. Ygdril could pass for a small Ursa, or a /very/ large Beowolf, though he doesn't have the trademark mask of a Grimm. "Yo... that's a... big dog." she offers awkwardly, folding her arms over her chest, the two gold bracelets on her wrists clinking lightly.

Fayt Ravus (319) has posed:
    Fayt looks over at Yang, utterly dumbstruck as she lifts that crate over her head "Um... over there with the other please?" He points to a spot where his emploies have stacked several other large crates. He then looks over to Yuuki. "Um... Who's talken?" He's distracted when Karian speak up. "Oh, Hey Karian, what brings you out here? You need anything?"

Karian Icefang has posed:
    "I came to help out with delivery." Karian replies simply. Ygdril looks over to yang and trots towards her. "Oh him? Aye..but he's average sized. There are thunderwolves larger then him, but few as smart." He explains, praising his companions intelligence.

Yuuki Konno has posed:
    Yuuki dismisses her wings, remaining ground-bound among other ground folk. The effect is obviously magical, or at least technomagic, but then the black-and-stars faerie wings were pretty obviously not natural in the first place. She laughs when Yang explains, obviously finding the explanation hilarious. "Sorry if I upset anyone!" she says, her tone making it clear she doesn't expect anyone to be offended, wouldn't care much if they did, but doesn't want to be rude and fail to apologize. It's a bit of an odd reaction for someone of her culture, for those who know what it's like.

    Yuuki bounds over to peer at Fayt, not content to merely walk. Once there she gives him a careful going-over. "Not QUITE the same, but you really do look like him! He's a good friend of mine. Guildmate. Always looking like he's scared someone's going to grab him or say boo." she grins.

Yang Xiao Long has posed:
    Yang watches Ygdril trot over, holding out a hand for him to sniff at. "Dad says that about Zwei, too." she remarks offhandedly, not going to touch the wolf until he gives the okay. "He might be small, but good things come in little packages."

Fayt Ravus (319) has posed:
    Fayt, in true Fayt fashion, leans about as far away from Yuuki as she might lean in towards him, giving her a somewhat awkward look. "I see... Can I help you with something? Clearly, the tiniy timid trader doesn't like people getting too close to him.

Yuuki Konno has posed:
    Fortunately for Fayt, Yuuki doesn't have a mean bone in her body. Else she might GRAB him just to see what happens when she does. "Relax!" she insists, then she grabs her own cheeks to make an outrageously exaggerated 'horrible face'. "Boo." she says, not at all scarily, before wheeling off and running back to Karian, Yang and Ygdril, laughing.

    She skids to a stop before Ygdril, seeing Yang trying to introduce herself to the huge wolfen. She nods, and does likewise. When she actually holds still for a time, she seems to gather a certain dignity about her, or at least a calmness. It doesn't always show. She doesn't have much interest in being slow... but it IS there.

Karian Icefang has posed:
    Ygdril sniffs Yang and yuki's hand, and nods his approval. He flattens his ears, showing he was calm and acceptive of pettings. Karian, meanwhile, simply laughed. "Your too shy, Fayt. A few pints of Fenrisian ale would loosen you up." He jokes, of course knowing one sip could be the demise of the poor trader, but it would be something funny to watch.

Yang Xiao Long has posed:
    Yang smiles, and moves to gently stroke along the wolf's shoulder. "So, what's his name?" she asks over towards Karian. "And yours, for that matter." She grins a bit, then looks over at Fayt. "She's right, y'know. Relax a bit."

Karian Icefang has posed:
    "His name's Ygdril. It means 'wisend hunter' in my native language. My name is Karian Icefang, of the Space Wolves. I hold the rank of Wolf Lord. We're a military organization." He explains. Ygdril leans into the hand stroking down his shoulder, enjoying the attention from his admirers. He looked up and offered what amounted to a wolfish smile to Yang, and playfully whuffed at her.

Fayt Ravus (319) has posed:
    "no thank you in the ale, me an alcahol don't mix." Fayt says, giving Yuuki's scary face a blank look. As she runs off, the tiny trader straightes up again. "I'm fine, really. anyway, is there anything I can do for the two of you?" Fayt's doing his best to sound professional, despite Yuuki's... being Yuuki.

Yuuki Konno has posed:
    Yuuki can't really reach up to the massive wolf, but she takes advantage of his lowered head if he wants pettings. She's not particularly gentle either. She's not trying to hurt the big guy of course. She doesn't think she COULD hurt him, not without drawing a weapon. She doesn't claw into him or anything, but does dig her fingers deeply into his ruff, giving him a good enthusiastic skritching.

    "I'm called Yuuki." the girl says, not neglecting the giant wolf. "I don't really hold any ranks. Some people've been calling me Zekken." she explains. The Absolute Sword. It's almost embarrassing... almost. It'd BE embarrassing if she hadn't earned the title. "And... hm. Do for us?" Yuuki asks, a bit puzzled. "Not really. I'm just trying to see everything. Unless you want to give me a ride somewhere!" she adds enthusiastically.

Yang Xiao Long has posed:
    "Yang Xiao Long." replies the blonde, then stretches out a bit as Yuuki goes full rufflefuzzle on Ygdril. "It's a fitting name, I'm sure he's a /really/ good hunter." she says to Karian. "I don't have any titles, but Dad tells me my name would means something like: Little Dragon of the Sun, or something like that."

Karian Icefang has posed:
    "Aye, he is. I've seen him take down a frost troll alone." Karian says, a smirk emerging along his face as he remembers that hunt. "I think the name fits you, Yang. Your as strong as any dragon I've seen. Granted I haven't seen many...at least uncorrupted." But then he looks to Fayt. "Actually, Fayt...there is something I'd like you to get for me, if you can. I'd like a supply of fresh adamantium."

Fayt Ravus (319) has posed:
    "I work as a trader, namely I run Black Dragon Shipping, if there's something you need. We cna get hold of it for a price." He replies to Yuuki, then frowns. "I'm Sorry, but we're not allowed to transport people." He thne looks to Karian. "Adamantium? That we can get hold of, yes."

Yuuki Konno has posed:
    "Not sure what my name means." Yuuki says, easing up a little, and possibly looking slightly troubled or at least thoughtful. "Depends how it's spelled, I suppose. Mostly though, I like to act like it means 'courage'!" she grins. It IS an appropriate translation of the name, but by no means the only one. It could also mean 'gentle hope', or possibly 'leisurely life', or even 'superior radiance'. Some of those really don't bear thinking on.

    She's a bit disappointed to learn that she can't go flying in the spaceship. THAT would be something for sure! But then, she's also done that in a MMO... and would really rather be moving herself than sitting and letting something else move her. So she shrugs offhandedly. "Hmmm. That's a thought." she muses. "Maybe later I'll have something I need. Most of what I want's virtual, but I also want to see if I can have a really amazing sword made. So I might need really good sword metal." she muses thoughtfully. It might not work, but is there anything else she could possibly want in the real world? Aside from a new body of course, and she doubts that's the sort of thing she can order.

Karian Icefang has posed:
    "Ahh, speaking of yukihana, eh? She actually has a weapon in the works for me. She told me it would take her up to 3 days, so you may have to wait. She's making it out of adamantium. I used the last of the fang's suppy for her." Karian says with a smirk. But he then moves over to ruffle Yuuki's hair. Ygdril....is content to get his ruffles and scritches.

Fayt Ravus (319) has posed:
    "I see." Fayt replies. "Well, if you send in an order, we cna get ap rice for it sent your way. Shouldn't take too long." he then looks over to Yuuki. "We can send a list of the metals we can get hold of, if you'd like."

Yuuki Konno has posed:
    Yuuki nods, then considers. She has quite a lot of money for someone her age. Her care is provided, since her illness is a result of tainted blood. She's also in an experimental program, so the costs are heavily borne by research. On top of that, she has a reasonably substantial inheritance, though much of it is locked away in a trust fund she'll never live to collect. She has no real expenses beyond a game subscription or three, and no needs not taken care of already. Still... adamantium? Other exotic metals? She doesn't exactly have a whole lot of money to be spent on something so ... frivolous.

    "Well... hm. I might not be able to afford a sword. I mean, it sounds like it'd be a lot of fun but..." there's a certain look in her eyes. She smiles when Karian ruffles her hair, but even that smile doesn't quite erase her wry thoughts. "Still, guess it doesn't hurt to get prices? Who knows?" she grins. It's a bit fake, but she doesn't really want anyone to worry either. "Send it to Iron Wolf here." she says. "Or Asuna Yuuki, if you know her. Or anyone in that group. I'm online there more often than I'm doing anything else!" she insists. She does not, however, leave anyone a personal contact. The only one who has THAT is Asuna or the other Sleeping Knights.

Yang Xiao Long has posed:
    Yang knows that tone. Even if it's hidden underneath layers upon layers of other things, trying to mask it. She's had that same tone herself, more than once. Yang is no mind reader, but she knows /something/ is wrong, and so, moves around to place a hand on Yuuki's shoulder.

    It's a strong, supportive grip, and she says nothing, just offering the contact without explanation or clear /reason/.

Fayt Ravus (319) has posed:
    Fayt slowly tilts his head from side to side, before nodding slowly. "I see... Well I'll get some prices and information sent over, see what we can do." If Fayt has any sense that something's wrong, he's not showing it, maybe he's just trying to be nice and not cause a scene?
