[Written/Voice/Action] 002

[The written portion of this entry was made sometime earlier in the day. The handwriting has been disguised to avoid recognition and people will see a cloaked figure with a mask when they respond to him]

[Written]

I have a few curious questions. If you're comfortable sharing your thoughts, I'd like to hear a little about the other kinds of experiments people have experienced here. What was the worst experiment you've been through, what experiment seem the most harmless to you?

The experiment that occur this past week was my first here in Luceti, so I'm rather curious to hear some interesting stories of people's previous experiences with these experimentation.

[...]

And also, how many of you actually like being here?

[A little later on in the day, after Alexei has finish pondering and talking to people through the journal, he decides to go and check on Casey about something. Finding that she wasn't in, he goes back to his room to call her through the journal.]

[Voice-Filtered to Casey - 95% Unhackable]

Captain. I have a request for you.

[Action]

[After all of this, Alexei can be found lingering near the Welcome Center in the Plaza. He was not in his disguise at this point, as he was there to meet with someone]

Other than that it was completely ridiculous? [a sigh.]

No, but now I have a better grasp on how these...experiments work.

[He nods]

I should probably pass this along to you then. I was informed of another experiment to will happen supposedly around February 14th. There is a holiday called Valentine's Day that is observed on certain worlds. I think it's related to falling in love as the Malnosso apparently applies an experiment related to that holiday around the same time every year.

From what I was told, last year people were falling in love with the first person they spoke to through the journals. We should take caution when dealing with the journal during that time.

[just looks up at him with a start.]

Valentine's Day? People falling in love? [a harsh sigh as she shakes her head.] The Malnosso really do enjoy playing with one's feelings, don't they? But I shall take your advice.

Perhaps. It is difficult to say what they're after with all of these experiments. Although, there is still that chance they may not repeat the process. If everyone suspects it, they may not get enough results.

[...Whatever it is they're after with the experiments. They soon reach the Battle Dome a moment later. Alexei will enter first and takes a glance around at the interior.]

But there is the chance there may be something worse. [she lets out a breath. she hated not being able to do more to help prepare or prevent the experiements.

but upon entering the Battle Dome, she quiets as she follows Alexei, looking around curiously]

[There were doors leading to other chambers surrounding a central area and paths leading up to a second floor. He decides to head there first to take a look at the central console. It was...highly advanced technology, but that only makes Alexei more curious to try it]

It looks like we simply have to choose one of these chambers to train in and then setup the scenario on this console.

[watching, curious.]

Really? Such advanced technology...imagine if we had such facilities back home.

Yes. We'd be able to prepare our knights under almost any scenario. If we had such power to run this technology it might even help improve our way of living.

[Most of the information he placed to the default settings since it was their first run, but then stops at a setting]

Ah...it seems this machine is capable of creating weapons for us to use. Perhaps, you can insert the information to create your bow for this.

It can? [steps forward as she examines the controls.] Do you mind if I do?

[He steps aside for Casey and nods]

[after another quick examination, she enters the information before stepping back.]

...That should do it. But where does it appear? Inside the room?

I believe that will be the case. [After making the final alterations, one of the doors open int a chamber]

Shall we?

[she nods and enters the room, looking around with great interest.]

...This is amazing! To think that one could create a simulated room just like that.

[He grins as Casey enters the room. They were in a forest environment that had at least a clearing in view. It was...incredibly realistic that he couldn't tell it was all fake. So far, nothing was coming after them just yet.]

Yes, it's astounding. [The bow Casey had asked for suddenly appears before them. Slowly, he reaches for it. It was solid in his hand, like a real bow was actually sitting in his hand. He then offers it to Casey.]

I still find this so hard to believe...[her voice trails as the bow just appears. she looks at it for a moment before taking it from Alexei.] Thank you.

[she takes a brief moment to feel the weight of it in her hands before giving a small nod.] It's not mine, but it will do.

[He nods as he draws his blade.] Get ready.

[Footsteps of a large creature was heading towards them. It soon revealed itself as it entered the clearing. A Brucis roar it's battle cry, clawing the ground as it prepares to charge at them]

[she stands firm, an arrow already notched and ready.]

I'll cover you!

Right!

[The Brucis wasn't going for Casey, seeing Alexei first and more of threat to him. It charges right for him as Alexei uses Raging Ice Fang to slow the monster down so he try to get behind it. Bits of ice flew all over the place as it rams the row of ice in front of it]

[she notes its actions and runs along until she finds a suitable opening before releasing several arrows to further distract the beast.]

[Distract the beast it did, now it's rearing its head to find the source of the arrows as Alexei charges towards the beast from the side and strikes it several times before knocking it back with Ill Wind.

The beast looses its footing, as Alexei prepares a spell. It won't stay like that very long though. Roaring furiously, it sees Casey within it's sight and prepares to charge towards her]

[she quickly observes the situation, noting Alexei's stance and the beast now charging at her. but she has no fear. she knows that she must preoccupy the beat and keep its attention on her until Alexei finished his spell, while also keeping it within range.

so she stands, her arrow notched and aimed squarely at the beast as she waits for it to come closer. as soon as it had reached a certain point, she released the arrow, another already taking its place as she fired it. it was only then that she moved away with space to spare, her eyes never leaving the beast as she ran to the side.]

[The beast tossed its head furiously when those arrows hit it squarely in the head and chest. It rams right into the tree that was behind Casey as Alexei unleashes Thunder Blade down on the beast, stunning it.]

Now's our chance!

[as if on cue, Casey skids to a stop, arrows once more at the ready. whatever technical arts she knows, she'll be using them now in conjunction to whatever attack Alexei is about to dish out. ~~downside of not knowing a character's skill set.~~]

[~~Casey barrage!~~ While Brucis was being bombarded by Casey's arrows, Alexei will be attacking it close range with his own artes. This left Brucis unable to counter the bombardment until it finally had enough and releases its overlimit, knocking Alexei back several feet.

The Brucis wasn't finish though and flies up into the sky to get a better view of the battlefield. It then dives right for Casey]

[at first she is concerned about Alexei, but seeing as he was all right, her attention returns to Brucis—which had taken to the sky and was now diving right toward her.

she immediately jumps back and away, the bow—being a transform bow as she had specified—changing into its bladed form. she immediately bring it to the front, parrying and defending herself as she continues to try and keep her distance.

if she can keep its attention on her, it may give Alexei another opening.]
