Yeah. Minos will be one of the main ocs I will rp as! I guess I can also try to rp as Rex and Azurda!

@-Howl-

Ok! Can you try Pyra too? It'd be interesting!

@-Howl-

Ok! Let's do this!

@-Howl-

Perhaps where it all begins... deep in the cloud sea.

@-Howl-

???: *deep in the cloud sea, a young boy was examining a box. He eventually attaches a device to lift the box and clips it to a hook. He then rises to the surface with the box. It wasn't just any box. It was probably treasure...*

@-Howl-

Rex: *stands onto the ground* I'm sure it's something at least worth the grab!
Azurda: And how was the trip down?
Rex: Well, the depth was at least a few hundred pegs! That's not gonna fly.

@-Howl-

Rex: Oh yeah. But I'm trying to be careful this time. If there's another big swarm or something bigger in there, I'll fight it off.
Azurda: Well, that's at least a heart you can use carefully. But, yes, it is important to fight off a beast every once in a while.

@-Howl-

Rex: *grabs something and starts an effort to open the box* Whether treasure or not... this will be quite interesting...!!
Azurda: Careful, Rex...!

@-Howl-

Rex: Well, if there is, then we'll beat if off-- GAH!! *he opens the box, and suddenly a GIGANTIC creature crawls out, agitated*
Azurda: Rex!!
Rex: No worries, Gramps! *grabs a rusty yet handy sword* I think we know what's for lunch now!

@-Howl-

Rex: Sheesh! Well, let's best this guy!
*Epic fight scene time! XD, sorry.*

@-Howl-

Rex: Yeah, but at least we got lunch! That's looking on the bright side!

@-Howl-

Rex: *nods* I get it. Well, while we're at it, let's dig in.

*Meanwhile?*

@-Howl-

(Oh, I meant meanwhile as in a different perspective somewhere else. Sorry to let you know suddenly!)

@-Howl-

(It's ok! Now then...)

???: *a young girl was looking out a round window, when something suddenly caught her eye. Something huge started making calls. A titan sank into the cloud sea. The girl watched sadly* (Not another one gone... Dang... I wish someone could do something about that...)

@-Howl-

???: *she sighs softly, but then stands straight up as she heard a stiff, yet soft and familiar voice approaching her* Huh!

@-Howl-

Azurda: Er-- *sigh...*
Rex: Huh... I wonder what's up with Kaije.

???: I know... the quest is soon. Sorry, uncle, it's just... I've sometimes been lost in thought. (At least maybe he'll recognize my skill, though...)

@-Howl-

???: I'll go get my supplies ready, I guess. Thanks for checking on me, uncle. *she walks off and grabs supplies, important stuff like food, tools and what not. She also grabbed her own rusty sword in case she needed to fight* (Come on, Minos. You can prove you can fight...)

@-Howl-

*Later, Rex arrives at the trading guild. He'd prepared his haul for trade...*
Rex: I'll be back a while, Gramps!
Azurda: Alright, then.

@-Howl-

Rex: Gah! Ahem... yes. Yes I am. You know how it is for me being a salvager.

@-Howl-

Rex: Looks like the line's empty! I better get going!

@-Howl-

Rex: Hello! I'm here to trade! As always. *he sets down the loot*

(Can you be the trader-pon?)

@-Howl-

Rex: Yep! Lay it on me, pal! *smiles proudly*

@-Howl-

Rex: Righto! See you later! *runs off, but suddenly comes to a halt as he notices approaching figures*

@-Howl-

Rex: Oh hey? What's the deal? Something wrong?

@-Howl-

(Uhhh... Bana? I dunno! XD)

@-Howl-

Rex: Well... I better get going, Kaije. It must be important. Wish me luck! *walks off*

@-Howl-

Rex: Alright, I guess. Let's go.

*Later, in the room, the girl, Minos, stands in waiting.*

Minos: Oh. Is this the person who we're supposed to meet, uncle...?

@-Howl-

Minos: Uh... *concern grew in her eyes, but she wouldn't let anyone see her expression. She'd gotten confused as to what's happening*
Rex: Er, nice to meet you. I'm Rex. So, what's the whole deal?

@-Howl-

Minos: *she wasn't able to speak right now. Until Rex slowly and carefully approached her* Oh, uh... hi.
Rex: Hey there. I'm Rex. What's your name?
Minos: I'm... Minos. Nice to meet you...?
Rex: Nice to meet you too. *smiles*

@-Howl-

Minos: Oh. Th-thank you... *smiles softly*
Dromarch: Greetings. It is an honor to meet you. *bows softly*
Rex: *smiles and bows his head in return*

(Sorry, bud, gtg for now or something!)

@-Howl-

(Back for now!)

Rex: Uh--?
Minos: Uncle? We better get going, right...? *smiles nervously*

@-Howl-

Rex: Right, uh... where to?
Minos: Well, uh... I'm not very good at explanation--

@-Howl-

Dromarch: We best head out.
Minos: ...Right, yeah. Let's go.
Rex: Well, lead the way.

@-Howl-

Minos: So apparently we'll board the Maelstrom. That's how we'll get to where our destination is. And it's pretty deep.
Rex: Deep? You have me somewhere at deep!

@-Howl-

Rex: Who?
Minos: Uhm... let's not talk about that right no-- mmf...? *her mouth was softly covered for a little*

@-Howl-

Rex: ... Ok.
Minos: Well, we better get aboard. It's almost time to depart.

@-Howl-

Rex: Gah, easy there!
Minos: ... *Sigh...* (I'm worried...) *walks to the ship*

(Oh, alright! Good night!)

@-Howl-

(Morning!)

Rex: ...
Minos: Well, we're on.

@-Howl-

Rex: *smiles playfully, chuckles softly, then sighs*
Minos: *shakes her head playfully* Hmm.
Dromarch: *smiles*

@-Howl-

Minos: Hey, c'mon! I know where the best view is! We'll keep lookout from there!
Rex: Oh, really? Alright! Coming!

@-Howl-

Rex: Whoa! You're right! This view is amazing!
Minos: Yeah, well... I know because I just had a glance at it. It's my first time going out somewhere other than... well, back where I was before I came here.
Rex: ... You've... never been outside?
Minos: Not really. The only way I could look was through the windows.

@-Howl-

Minos: It's not that, it's just... I've rarely been outside before. Mostly, I've been looking out windows and watching the horizons.
Rex: Huh. Well, at least you're out and about now, right?
Minos: Yeah. *smiles softly* I'm glad my uncle decided to give me a chance. ... You know who my uncle is, do you?

@-Howl-

Rex: Good time to stop the ship?
Minos: ... Probably. Someone should let a professional know we're close. Because I'm not a professional.

@-Howl-

Rex: Ok. I'll try and make sure to return the favor.
Minos: *smiles softly* I'll try and be of any support too. *grabs her rusty sword to emphasise support*
Rex: Oh hey! It's like you've got the same weapon as me!
Minos: Wow... great minds think alike, huh? *she shares a lighthearted chuckle with Rex*

@-Howl-

Rex: Right, right! My bad! Ehehe... *puts hand behind head*
Minos: *her eyes suddenly widen* (A blade...?)

@-Howl-

Dromarch: Now now, m'lady. Let's try to be calmer in these situations.
Minos: (Sheesh, that startled me... Classic.) *relaxes*
Rex: *his eyes were widened, but he slowly regained focus* I'll keep lookout just in case. Minos, try to let me know if you notice our destination. *he looks and sees a large ship following behind* (Huh... that's odd. Why's that ship following us?)
Minos: Right! Will do! Hm.

@-Howl-

Minos: ... *Gulp...* (Oh boy. I'm nervous...) *eventually tries to take a deep breath* (Ok, Minos, you can do this...)

@-Howl-

Minos: (Still, I cannot believe that, until now, I didn't know that girl I met was a BLADE... Man, it must be amazing... I wish I had my own one day.)
Rex: Oh! I think we stopped?
Minos: Ah. Seems like it. We must be here. Let's go.
Rex: Right, coming!

@-Howl-

Rex: Whoa, whoa?! Hold on!! What's all this madness?!
Minos: What the...?! Guys, calm down...!!
Dromarch: ... Oh dear.

@-Howl-

Minos: Destroy?! What kind of madness is that?! You know, this is getting out of hand, so why don't we all just calm down!! I'll probably ask the chef to cook something nice for all of you. (Please let this chaos end...!)

@-Howl-

Minos: Alright, let's calm down. We're here.

@-Howl-

Rex: *blushes* Oh, uh... *laughs nervously* I dunno.
Minos: Uhm... It's time. Time to dive. That location is deep.
Rex: Oh? Dive? Ah, right. Dive. You can count on me! I'll be right back.

@-Howl-

Rex: Uh? *looks at Minos, confused*
Minos: Uh-- I-- Ah-- *gets nervous* It's not what you think! I just didn't know until now!

@-Howl-

Minos: Oh! *giggles, then smiles warmly* Hm.
Rex: *smiles softly, then focuses* I better get going. Wish me luck! *runs off to get his diving gear*

@-Howl-

Minos: Hehe! Oh. Gormott? Not yet. Maybe someday...

@-Howl-

(Right, I just noticed! It's ok!)

Minos: Oh! Wow, you must know a lot. Um... can I tell you a secret?

@-Howl-

Minos: ... I always researched about the Aegis. I think it's pretty amazing that there's a higher form of blade. I've always wanted one myself, but there weren't a lot of core crystals where I was. And my uncle is Jin, as you can tell from how I look. I don't mind looking like this, but my uncle isn't much of a talker when it comes to him and I. It's a bit difficult sometimes. And normally, when I have this rusty sword in hand, I privately practice. This'll be a first...

@-Howl-

Minos: *she softly blushed and smiled from the physical touch, because she never experienced it before, but then she regains her focus* Got it. I promise.

@-Howl-

Minos: Oh! Thanks... *smiles* (This Pyra person sounds nice... I wonder what she's really like.) Well, let's go.
Rex: *eventually sees Minos and Kaije* Said I'd be back! Glad to see you again. Haha! Look at the size of this thing!
Minos: Whoa. That's huge...

@-Howl-

Rex: Oh! Hehe... *smiles, blushing, then refocuses* Right. Who knows if this big place has any treasure to uncover.
Minos: Only one way to find out.

@-Howl-

Rex: Whoa! Ok, ok!
Minos: (Sheesh, classic Nia. Really skeptical, but maybe she'll gain more trust of these two along the way. Here's hoping...)

@-Howl-

Rex: Huh... Interesting...
Minos: Ack! Something's behind that closed door?!
Rex: What?! Is it a monster?!

@-Howl-

Minos: Nia, please... let's be patient.
Rex: Right. *holds onto the sword while waiting* What is it we're waiting for?

@-Howl-

Rex: Uh, sure. *hands over his rusty sword*
Minos: Ok... what for? *hands hers over*

@-Howl-

Minos: Whoaaaa! Thanks! This is gonna be impressive!
Rex: Niiiice! Looks like we'll have better fight power!

@-Howl-

Rex: Alright. Let's get this beast!
Minos: Yeah!

@-Howl-

Rex: Attaaaaaaaack!!
Minos: *Finally... I can really fight!* YAAHHHH!!

@-Howl-

Rex: On it! SACRED ARROW!!
Minos: WH-WHOA!! Amazing...!!

@-Howl-
