”Ohoho, so this is the place, huh?” Argent kept her hands in her pockets as she looked up at the horses hooked up various supply carts. She had gotten a notification about a supply convoy heading out soon, and knew that meant there was probably an opportunity there to do a mission. Sure enough, hopping up to one of the carts was enough to grant her the quest.

”So uh, what we carryin’ anyway? Loot? Food stuffs? Oooh, maybe building materials, huh? I know that LA safezone keeps on getting bigger, wouldn’t surprise me too much.” Threw threw her arms up behind her, looking up to the sky before turning to see who all was gonna be traveling with them.

Seeing another person help load up a cart, she figured he was probably also trying to benefit from the mission here. Argent dusted her jacket and hopped over to him. ”Yo! Tryna party up? Sounds like they got bandits patrollin these roads.” Her shiny Lunar Dagger at her hip was about the only thing on Argent that said anything about what kind of class she was, but she couldn’t really tell what this guy was offhand. Whatever the case, she was pretty confident in being able to handle the protection on her own, so whatever his class could do was only gonna be helpful!

”I meannnn if they think there’s bandits ahead there’s usually bandits ahead- but it should be fine. That’s why we’re here!” Argent raised a peace sign to her head and accepted Andy’s party request. A Savage chef, hm? ”Lunar Assassin here, call me Argent! My class is pretty much what it sounds like; I stab things.”

As the caravan set out, Argent kept a pretty laid back demeanor. She walked along with her hands behind her back, chuckling a bit when the guy mentioned grabbing dinner. ”Dinner, huh? What kinda meal should I expect from a Savage Chef? “ She thought for a moment; while her class was mostly straightforward, Argent hadn’t met anyone with a “Savage Chef” class before. He said he could fight with kitchen tools… some kind of themed warrior, maybe?

”What’s up with that, anyway? Do you like, just beat stuff up? Or is it more of a merchant class?” Glancing back at the party window, she didn’t really find much more info about Andy’s class. However, there was something that did stick out to her: he was level one. Hmm… that shouldn’t be much of a problem, but man, what was up with her and running into total newbies recently?

”Hmmm… yuh that wouldn’t be too bad actually, been a fat minute since i had some of that.” Rabbit and dumplings weren’t really what she was expecting from a “Savage Chef”, but at least it sounded like he knew how to make some good foods. Argent listened as Andy gave some more information about his class; from the sound of things, he wasn’t entirely new to how things worked here, moreso he just’d been using his time for other things.”Oooh, okay bet that’s good to know.”

Argent turned her attention toward a pack of riders rowdily bursting onto the scene. She took out her new moonstone, tossing it around in her hand as its effect activated. With her phase shifting to Full Moon, she now had an extra bit of damage, speed, and some partial invisibility to boot! ”Ayup, I’ll take little miss Arizona there. You gonna tenderize them?” The boss shouldn’t be a problem for Argent, but she couldn’t help but chuckle at the little mallet her ally summoned.

As Andy threw the mallet, Argent walked forward towards the woman in charge. ”Arizona Hotspurs, huh? See, that’s funny. I just came along to make a quick buck, but now…” Argent raised a hand in front of her ready to summon her weapon when the woman in charge finally turned her way and spoke up.

”Huh? Whadya say?”

”Ugh bro I’m tryna be cool-”

”Y’all know this is a robbery right?”

”YEAH I WAS GETTING TO THAT STOP INTERRUPTING??”

”INTERUPPTIN’?! WELL SHOOT, AIN’T WE THE ONES INTERRUPTIN’ YOU?”

”THAT’S BESIDES THE POINT I’M- UGHHH”

Argent threw her hands in the air as Annie spat to the ground and did the same. She suddenly summoned a pair of revolvers aimed right at Argent, while the Assassin held her hand forward and summoned a glowing katana pointed back at the Cowgirl.

”ENOUGH CHITTER, GET ‘ER GANG!”

”KNOCK ‘EM OUT ANDY, LET’S-” Argent activated her brand new [Dash] skill to throw herself into the air as all four of the bandits unloaded in the spot she’d been standing in. With another [Dash], the assassin shot herself forward, landing just behind Arizona Annie for her own attack. ”Crescent Slash!” Annie turned just to see the glint of the blade, inflicting her with X-Caliber’s [blind] Debuff as the slash hit. With all her buffs and effects active for the attack, it was almost like space following the blade had been sliced through to reveal nighttime itself underneath.

Despite using an extra strong version of her attack, Annie was still hanging on, if not weakly. Argent noticed that the attack did less damage than it should’ve meaning… ”Damned Melody!” Annie cursed and swore as she shot randomly around her, trying to catch Argent with a bullet as she ducked and weaved.

”Andy! Blind ‘em with this! Let’s catch ‘em all, I bet they have bounties!”

”How in the goddamn would you know?!”

”Yeah you’re right a lousy group like this probably gets nothing accomplished.”

”WHY YOU-!” As Annie kept trying to shoot Argent and missing thanks to her [blind] Debuff, the assassin tossed her glowing katana over towards Andy. It would stick out of the ground right in front of him, right in position for him to grab. X-Caliber changes shape when held, shifting into either a rapier, katana, or broadsword.

Annie rubbed the back of her gloves into her eyes as the blindness finally wore off, looking around wildly before settling her eyes on Argent once more. ”What the hell, y’all think a cheap trick like that’ll save ya? Well, yer wrong!” The woman spat on the ground in front of her, finally hopping off her horse. She leveled her revolvers on Argent, though seemed confused when she noticed the woman’s weapon missing ”Where in the goddamn did you put that sword? Finally decide to show yer belly and high tail it outta here?!”

”heheheh, sorry, I just realized I should be using my tiny sword against such a tiny enemy!” Argent held a hand over her mouth and laughed at the woman as she drew her own Lunar Dagger, a weapon that matched both her class AND outfit!

”You goddamn cow! Snakes like you’ll die of their own damned poison, dontcha know it?!”

”HEY!” The woman suddenly drew her Shatterglass Dagger, chucking it right at the cowgirl where it shattered and absorbed into her body. Annie didn’t just let that happen, however, and unloaded her guns at the assassin. Thanks to Argent’s [Partial Invisibility], she was able to dodge two of the shots. One of them collided with her dagger, and the fourth and final shot grazed right through her shoulder.

Damnit! Though Annie was clearly on her last legs, Argent couldn’t risk taking too many hits like that. She was a glass tank, after all; she was made to deal damage, not take it! Annie clutched her side where the dagger had impaled itself, while Argent held her hyperphase moonstone. Time to see just how HYPER this thing could go!

Activating its effects in her hand, Argent could see the [Partial Invisibility] fade away as she shifted into [Half Moon Phase]. Her WIL was momentarily buffed before it too faded away. With [New Moon Phase] kicking in, so too did Argent’s FULL Invisibility. She dashed into the air as Annie fired another shot where she had been standing. ”H-Hotspurs, we gotta…” The cowgirl was cut off by the SMACK of Argent’s Dagger slapping her up top the head, knocking her cowboy hat right down to the ground.

”Y’all ain’t goin’ nowhere!” Argent caught Annie as she fell to the ground, Yelling out to her other three bandits. She activated her [Lunar Madness] skill as she did so, causing a brief illusion of a dreadful moon to appear in each of them as they momentarily wavered in their actions.

Andy seemed to be doing okay for himself for now, and with the bandit leader taken out there was no doubt the rest would try to scamper now, or at the very least not put in so much effort. While they were under the madness of her skill, Argent used Annie’s own lasso against to tie her up.

Finishing up with Annie, Argent was pleased to see that Andy had taken out two of the bandits. Wait, two? ”Ohh noo that’s not gonna work!” Seeing the last of the riders trying to flee, Argent pointed her dagger at them and activated one of her abilities. The book pendant around her neck began to glow as she did so, and soon after that a pair of lasers shot the bandit in the center of their back, knocking them to the ground. ”Yeeeehaw, huh?! Who needs guns anyways!”

With ALL of the bandits defeated now and accounted for, Argent made sure Andy got a rope as she began to help hogtie the gang. The katana vanished as X-Caliber returned to her inventory, the battle won. ”Not so bad, huh? Most of the punks you’ll meet out here just like to talk big, nothin’ you can’t handle …though maybe I do possibly sometimes on occasion let them egg me on just a little teeensy tiny little bit. Maybe.”

Once all of this gang was tied up, Argent made sure they got secured up on the backs of the horses, and took the reins of one to lead along with the caravan. ”Wanna walk the other horse, Andy? Tedious, but hey- worth if we get paid! Arizona Hotspurs, huh…” Argent tapped her finger against her chin in thought for a moment, before ultimate coming up blank. ”Meh, never heard of them. Kinda embarrassing on their part, honestly.”

As they continued to escort the group forward, it wasn’t long before the place they were headed for came into view. ”Woo, almost there. Too bad you didn’t find any monsters to beat up along the way. Maybe next time. OH OH!” Argent suddenly thought up an idea ”YOU should try leveling up some the next time you get a chance! You’re already able to hold your own pretty well, I’m sure it’ll only get better as you level!”

"Hey, I mean, I can be as flashy as I want as long as no one's left after to see it!" she laughed out loud, flipping her knife around in her hand. "Really though, you'll get there. The, uh, whole chef thing can do some cool things, I'm sure. I mean hell, I heard someone got Buzz Lightyear as their class, and I mean the toy, not even like a sci-fi space ranger or anything cool like that! Man, some people REALLY get the short end of the stick. But nah, you're good. Can prolly make some extra coin with it, too."

She rubbed her chin. Argent's class was DPS and DPS alone, but some of the crafters in the world she had met were pretty cool. Being able to create or upgrade gear was nothing to scoff at, just look at how strong her X-Calibur was! Yeah, crafter classes were GREAT in this world... though, she still preferred her more personal method of dealing with things.

Argent shrugged when asked if she knew of bandits in the area. "Y'know, now that you mention, no I dunno any. But hey-! That still means I haven't heard of them, right?!" She could've sworn one of the Hotspurs flicked her off at the mention, but that just made her stick her tongue out at them and do it back.

"I've been loaded in a decent while... I mean, to me it didn't feel like there was any loading time at all. I was at a library, and then boom- the walls got bigger, and the ground shook, and I was standing in a dungeon. I've still got plenty of room to go though. If we're lucky, they'll have some nice loot on them. Well, maybe." She both liked and disliked the idea of them having nice loot. Of course, on her end, she LOVED getting loot, but considering these were bandits... well, she already knew where they're would've gotten it from.

Turning her head towards Andy when he asked about her level, Argent grinned wide and held up a peace sign. "Fifteen! I told you you're not that far off! Hahaha!" She slapped her knee just thinking about it. Level 15... she didn't know how high levels even went in this world, but she knew they at least went over 50.
