Don't worry, I can figure out what to write for training. Just figured I would develop my machine's personality as well as my characters.
Jack Ridgevale Rank: Trainee Energy:350/350 Strength/Speed: 6/5 Active Machines: Roacher As the djinn left and the kiranu(s?) started to play with each other, Jack had gotten quite an idea of how to get his Roacher to better understand the limits of what trash and vermin are. "Stay in your current position and watch the cats. I'll be back in a little while with something interesting to see in a few minutes." He walked over to a building and noticed that there were plenty of rats there, and from what he had heard earlier, his Roacher had been all too effective at getting rid of them. He knew that it might be possible that to convince his insectoid machine that the felines were more useful than it thought. However, he had some training to do, and he went over to a relatively empty area and began his training.
One of the fire techniques that he figured he should learn was the fire stream, seeing as it was effectively a magical form of the flamethrower which he planned on using in the future. Telling from the books he brought with him, it was quite an effective technique, and another technique that branched off from this one intrigued him as well. As he first attempted the technique, he was able to create a continuous flame, but it didn't reach far from his hands. He tried to make it into a longer form, but it didn't quite seem to do much aside from heat the air around him slightly. Seeing as he was simply holding his hand out, he figured it may be easier if he tried with a different method. [1/2]
Mulling over the ways other pyromancers had used their spells, Jack had decided to do a rather interesting twist to this spell. As he extended his hand, rather than force the fire straight out, he twisted his hand as he cast it. This created a cone of flame to shoot out from his hand, albeit only briefly. With a little bit more experimentation, he found he could maintain it simply by holding his hand out at this point. Figuring this technique was mastered at this point, he looked through his books to figure out what technique to proceed with next [2/2]
[Learned: Fire Stream]

Haruki shifted his hold on Kit and let her rest cradled in his arms for the time being. "You think? Alright, let's go!" She had a goal to focus on, yes, but it seemed as though she wouldn't be satisfied unless she turned what only took one person in to a two person job. "It's not like I came to Nocturne with anything specific in mind, so whatever is good by me." Perhaps it was a bit foolish of him to get caught in many entanglements for as long as he remained on the ground, but he had to do something while he was here. Ignis was massive, and the work it took to get from Yuran to here was a terrifying load. He could not leave while she was underground, and naturally, he was going to get caught in something.
Ignis, having been with Haruki the entire time he was here, couldn't help but sigh at the entire event. He let himself get attached to people too easily, and failed to find another focus unless he was surrounded by people. She wanted to say that he was inexperienced, but she wouldn't say anything of ill will towards her master. He showed that he was stronger than she gave him credit for, so even now, she'd let him go about things his own way. Haruki let Kit down and put his hands back in his pockets, recalling that he had some odd experiences with touching random objects before. Even so, it seemed as though she wouldn't relent, and he had already agreed so there was not really a chance for him to turn back with his decision.
Haruki, having never spent too much time in Nocturne, was going to let Kit lead this expedition. She had more of an idea where to go than he did, and he didn't mind that one bit. Kit obviously didn't care, as long as she got to do something that wasn't...well...nothing. Haruki could understand the feeling, which is why he was okay with pretty much everything. If she was going to change back, he'd give her the time to do so, but in the back of his mind he wondered if she had a choice. When her excitement rose she seemed to shift back and forth between forms without any clear idea of which one she was going to be.

As he sat her down, the soft cat moved her head, and out of an invisible space, Kit retrieved a list. The parchment was folded in half, and once she laid it on the ground, her paws opened it. "Right...Let's see.." Mercury moons sparking with excitement. "The Zertish oil is in Gettera town, so easy peasy. The other ingredients are in different areas. Pronta's Outter Rim has mepsomite rock and Kra-Kranillllaaa~ has the plant seeds and leaves. I have to have both. Everything is basic material found in the markets." Kit's ears twitched, the peering eyes moved up and watched a dragonfly buzz about.
"We should go with the oil first, since it is close, then to that forest nation...just make one big circle, Haruki! How does that sound? Then we can catch some dinner?" Her rump thumped against the ground, the feline perched perfectly as she looked upward at him.

•.•.• - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Haruki listened to Kit list off items she would need for...whatever, and nodded his head. A nod of the head that only one person would understand caused the ground to shake as Ignis emerged from where she was outside out the gates. She coiled up in to a tight circle as she waited for the moment Haruki would need her. To be honest, Ignis was tired of being on the ground, so she'd happily retreat to the sky or sea any time Haruki was ready. "Sure, it'll be faster than trying to zig-zag across a couple different cities." He recalled searching for some of this stuff with Pix before. Ah, Pix. Haruki was ready whenever she was ready, but Ignis was much more reluctant to assist in the endeavor. Even so, she'd help since that's what it really boiled down to.
"What...?" Haruki thought about it for a moment, wondering if Ignis was jealous that the amount of time she spent with Haruki had been cut down. "You are still very young, Master..." Ignis seemed to sigh after her statement, although Haruki wasn't sure if it was exasperation or something else. He shrugged, deciding it wasn't going to be an issue as he trained his gaze back on Kit. "After you, Ms. Leader." Haruki would be quick to follow the moment she darted off.

Happily, she pranced, sauntering ahead of him with the parchment hanging from maw. The sleek black tail wavering 'come here' as Kit moved before she dashed forward in a burst of speed. Ears slicked back, lungs expanded, taking in the great breaths through tiny nostrils. The cold would flow along her fur coat, it didn't stop the Kiranu from advancing in and out of alleyways, dodging people as if she were nothing but a normal house cat.

Jack Ridgevale Rank: Trainee Energy:350/350 Strength/Speed: 6/5 Active Machines: Roacher Strangely enough, the other two fire skills seemed extremely easy to master. The fire punch was ridiculously simple, and he had the technique of fire whip basically by altering his fire stream slightly. He bagged a few rats at the mostly derelict training building and headed off, roach in tow. [exit]

After a bit of a walk Jace finally arrived at helgrind... and then Jace wasn't sure what to do. How was it that this always happened to him, showing up somewhere and having no idea what to do, Red had told him he would be given a map... Sounded like he needed to go into the main building, maybe someone would just know already what was going on. So he simply went into the building and leaned up against a wall. He was just staring off into the distance when he realized he should at least try and look like he had some sense of purpose, so he began to glance around as though he were looking for someone.

As Jace made his way to the Hellgrind facility it dawned on him that he still required a map, though it seemed that no one was in the office. His time was spent leaning against the wall, taking in the bore of nothingness until a decision was made to check things out. He could ding the front bell that laid on the counter but no one would answer. It was quite tiresome and bothering to wait but it was not long.
Behind the human prance a small blue-colored fleece. It seemed to be frolicking right past him and then turned around to hop right to his feet. Around its fuzzy neck hung a quiver and a thick piece of parchment inside it. The sheep-thing stared at Jace with its beady eyes, maw slacked with a corner of drool slipping out. BAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Maybe Jace bumped his head or was knocked out on the way over, never before has something so adorable been in Nocturne, the land of doom and gloom and pissed off assholes.
Jace had just about grown tired of all the senseless waiting when he noticed a bell, and shortly after ringing it a small blue fluffy creature the likes of which he had never before seen but for in childrens books and the like. He believed the name he had read for them was sheep. Jace first though the the sheep would simply go right past him to leave him once again to his bothersome waiting, somehow Jace was both lazy AND impatient doing nothing suited him just fine but only when it was his design. But it came right up to him instead and Jace noticed a bit of parchment in a container tied about the things neck. He patted it on the head as he took the parchment and unrolled it, eyes darted around searching for the details of his mission.

Its main feature is the countless miles of black sand that give it its name. The ceiling of the vault contains lodes of Curseforge ore that illuminate the cavern with a dim green glow. These large concentrations of Curseforge give off a poisonous radiation, making the Black Desert fatal to most living non-native creatures. Like the many other vaults, it is a staggeringly large cavern, the only way to tell up from down is the glowing ore high above you, as the darkness seems looming in all directions. Lost amongst the sands are many ancient, abandoned cities, built in the style of Egyptians. The Black Desert is a spawning ground for wurms. These creatures are immune to the effects. There are also forsaken tribes of people among the great dunes.
Your goal is to get to the great pyramid that is deep within the darklands. It is perhaps best that you do not venture inside of it though...
Adventurers beware!
Danger lurks from every direction.
You must roll a 6 sided die with every 3rd post. If you roll a odd number, the radiation has affected you! You now require rest for one post as you are dizzy and become sickened. As time progresses, nausea is induced..it is a sickly black vomit.
After only a short time of studying the map Jace determined where he needed to go and set off. Putting on his gasmask before entereing the area. For a brief moment Jace allowed himself to be taken in by the beauty of the place, black sand as far as the eye could see and nothing more than a dim green glow for light. It struck an impressive picture and Jace admired it for some minutes also allowing his eyes to adjust to the low light settings. When he grew tired of the sights and could see well enough to identify potential enemies he set off, truding through the soft black sands that seemed to want to swallow him whole. As he walked he thought about what read had said."Don't go into the pyramid," he repeated the words to himself as he recalled that the map would put him right at the base of the pyramid. He was a little confused to say the least, why go to the pyramid if not to go in?

The iridescent of an afterglow filtered onto the young man, casting him in an eerie electric green, washing over his jet locks and the reflective plastiq of his mask. His treading was soft, sands slipping down dunes with each impending step. There was a low rumbling undertow, far off but still noticeable. Something shifted deep within the vault, not only the locker itself, but whatever it was, was alive. Jace would notice that several meters off were glowing orbs, their light a soft ember-orange. Other than that, there seemed to be nothing else he could see. He was not in far enough to make out the pyramid or what else lay with the spheres.
Jace paused for a moment as he felt the ground tremple ever so slightly beneath his feet and a rumbling in the distance, it was when he looked to the noise that he saw the orbs. Jace approached the area slowly holding his jacket up to his mask with one hand in an attempt to staunch his reflections and doing his best to stifle the crunch of sand beneath his feet. as he got close he carefully drew a pistol in case he needed it. He didn't know much about where he was but he knew it was for training and not of the easy kind. Jace would have to keep his wits about him if he would survive.

As he approached the caravan, he'd notice the area was decently lit. The air smelled like ripe passion fruit and strawberries, freshly grown and yet, there were none insight. Sure steps brought him to a welcoming party of women, gorgeous goddesses dressed in right sheer fabric. Incense burned around them, the plumes weft around their elegantly sculpted curves. There was one in particular sitting slightly higher than the rest. Her throne, a soft mound of velvety pillows, graciously held her up.
The woman stood up, rising from her royal cushions. Slow hypnotic sways of hips brought her up to him, a foot between the two. "Welcome," words were a glorious song of curiosity.
"Please...sit."
A palm extended to an empty seat that was off to his right, a woman on either side.
"Are you lost?"
An inquisitive brow arcing as lips pursed, her hands coiling around one another as great spans of fabric covered them.
As Jace drew close to the orbs of light he saw that it was a convoy, Which was full of beautiful women and smells that were meant to dull a mans senses. It reminded Jace heavily of the red light district where he had done his first mission. Jace came to the conclusion that these women were possibly succubi. Succubi didn't bother Jace, although incubus now made him very nervous. Despite Jace not being disturbed by their presence he knew he would have to be careful. If these were succubi they could have him eating out of the palms of their hands easily. Then he would be at their mercy or at the very least distracted, and a mission was no time for such things.
As a woman who seemed to be the leader Jace was certainly admiring her beuaty but was sure not to gawk at her either. Jace was invited to have a seat between two of the women, and had he been anywhere else he may have indulged, but not for the moment. Jace slowly put his handgun back in its holster making sure the movement was not sudden."Thank you, but I'd rather have my feet grow accustomed to carrying me, if it's agreeable with you." Jaces speech was more refined than usual, although muffled by his mask, as his hosts seemed like they were the type to enjoy the finer things in life. "Im not lost, nor am I headed anywhere in particular, I'm simply wandering the black sands to sharpen my skills and increase my resilience."
