Oh, God (Job: Takumi/Julius)

Job:

BG Music:

Walking down a dreary path, in the midst of a eerily dark cloud-cover, the lone, Celestial Mage searched for his comrade's meeting location. Aquar, clad in 'explorer's' garb (a sturdy, cotton tunic that reveals so much of his torso through white lace that there's not really any point in wearing it; a long, beige overcoat, made to look like a women's cardigan; light blue jeans; mountain boots; and a numerous amount of pointless accessories) tinkered with the key-ring hung around his right wrist, like a bracelet. The over-all atmosphere of the place made it feel like it belonged in an role-playing game of the sorts, or in a fairy tale. Calm as ever, he walked down the path like there was nothing wrong with the scenery, never-mind the mangled, dead trees and lack of any living creatures, save himself and the occasional moth or mosquito.

The path twisted and turned, not seeming like it went anywhere important. Aquar's feet hurt, most importantly. It felt like he'd been walking for hours since he got off of the train, which he probably had been doing. Sighing and trekking on, Aquar lazily ran his hand through his hair, per habit. Upon bringing his hand down, we found that it was covered in a fine, ash-like substance. Ew. Finally, after a mental battle of 'should I waste my mana on summoning Monoceros so he can give me ride or not' Aquar arrived at their meeting point, a purple-leaved maple tree. As described in the job description, the graveyard should be about ninety-eight yards left of the tree, hidden behind a grove of trees. He examined the area, and after a minute of looking, decided it was safe enough to sit down. With a huge sense of relief flooding over him, Aquar almost fell next to the tree, glad he was the first there --- and to an extent, not late.

After about ten minutes or so of waiting under the tree, Takumi arrived atop a steed. 'Cute," Aquar thought, as Takumi jumped down his pet. "Impressed?" Aquar remarked, with a slight bow of the head. "Ah... This tree makes me feel nostalgic, one used to grow near my house," he reminisced. Turning his head towards the path oncoming, Aquar smiled, seeing the last teammate arriving. He ran his hand though his hair, a habit he's had since he grew it out. Standing up in a swift motion, he smiled at Julius, "I'd wait forever for you," he said, leaning on the sturdy, purple maple. "It's nice to see a beacon in this dark forest," he added on, teasing.

"Anyways," Aquar started, "I'm going to be the leader, strategist, since I don't have to fight, myself," he lied, liking it because of the leadership role and also to boast his impressive thinking. "I already know Eye's magic," he turn to Julius, giving him imposing eye contact, "So, what magic do you use?"

Aquar started walking to where the graveyard supposedly was, although he was counting his steps, in his head. However, out of the grove of trees to the group's right, a group of undead decided to make their approach early. How quaint. He scoffed, and backpedaled his way behind this two other mages. "They're coming," he said, seemingly not even phased, "Try to stay near my Celestial Spirits, they make you stronger or the enemies weaker." Aquar fumbled for his key ring, hung around his wrist and grabbed Monocero's key, Gate of the Unicorn Key. Brandishing it with his right hand, he held it high into the air chanting, "Gate of the Unicorn, I open thee! Monoceros!" The key, shining with a gilded light that contrasted the group's surroundings, made an iconic door-bell chime before Monoceros, the uni-centaur landed softly on the ground. "Happy to help, Aquar," he said, then yawned.

Aquar chuckled and smiled at Julius's reaction, cute. He slipped forward, lifting the shorter mage's chin with his index finger and thumb. "I'll protect you. Don't be nervous," he said, aware of what effect it would have on him. While walking and while Julius asked who 'Eyes' was, Aquar lazily point toward Takumi, admiring his eyes again.

In response to his earlier question, Julius said he uses water magic, which visibly lifted Aquar's face. "Perfect," he remarked, looking ahead, "We'll compliment each other nicely in battle." And even though the enemy was far enough away where the group would be out of attacking range, Takumi decided to rush them. Aquar audibly gasped, then said loudly yet calmly, "What was that?" Half of the group of black skeletons, all knights surrounded him as he fought them off. Boi. Turning on his 'commando' mode Aquar ordered, "Wist, work together with Takumi to make a hole in the enemy, and, uh, Monoceros, use your blessing." Monoceros nodded and shot a beam of pure light at Takumi, healing him of D-ranked damage this turn. Aquar hustled over to Monoceros, jumping onto his back then turning to watch the battle. Five black skeleton mages coming toward him and Julius and five knights attacking Takumi, and soon them too.

He turned to Julius next, "Protect me and Monoceros, he can't attack, stay imbetween us and the enemy. And I can't attack unless you leave some of your water on the ground. Don't stray far, Monocero's presence bolsters your attack and defense." 'Where... Should I hold onto him...' he wondered, Monocero's being a centaur, after all. Not the chest, or torso, or head(?), or below the torso... He tightened his leg grip instead. Aquar grunted, riding as close to Takumi as possible in the pursuit that he'll reap the passive rewards of his spirit but also staying far enough away from danger that he won't get attacked.

OoC: A more accurate description of Monoceros is in my magic idk I didn't feel like copying and pasting it all over.  (A link is in my signature.)

BGM:

Aquar smiled, looking down at Julius's water. Monoceros, still using his Celestial Blessing on Takumi, which has now healed him of a C Ranked spell, turned to Aquar, "My time is up," he said, before disappearing in a golden light, leaving Aquar standing in his midst. Aquar, looking down at the puddle, smiled, knowing he could turn the tide of this battle in their favor. Probably. He pulled a beautiful golden key from his key ring bracelet and held it in his hand, bending over and submerging it in Julius's water. With a thoughtful sigh then a roll of his eyes, he chanted, "Gate of the Water Bearer, I open thee! Aquarius!" The small, sad puddle shone a brilliant gold, before erupting like a geyser -- forming into Aquarius. Coming out of the golden light with a scary look, Aquarius cocked her head towards Aquar, "Did you summon me from a puddle?! Who do you think you are, little boy," she said, scoffing. Aquar flashed a grin, then pointed toward the oncoming skeletons. "You would't want me to die, would you?" he said, aware of the consequences of doing something so heinous. Aquarius scoffed again, holding her urn close to her chest, water agressively shuring inside of it. Holding her urn above her head, she released its water contents with a scream, coiling it into a whirlpool, aimed at Aquar, but also catching the enemies and Takumi (unless he dodged) in the process. "Fuck," Aquar muttered under his breath, riding the painful water rather calmly.

Meanwhile, behind a mangled tree, the writer of the job, hid scared for his life. The skeletons were feeling awfully bold today, he thought to himself, pushing up his glasses. Taking a deep breath he watched the battle intently, waiting for it to die down so he could go and meet the mages.
