~Iris' house, Sakari's room~ Lady: well, she appears to be doing a good job of keeping things clean... *walks over to a slightly open drawer, out of curiosity, opens it* Lady: *momentarily gives a shocked look, then grimly closes it* ... *looks at Iris* Miss Amado, might it be alright, if I speak with your sister Iris: i am sorry Madam Sakari did not stay here last night although I asked her to stay she left... And I know the reason -Flowershop, Karuzo used his cellphone to connect to his butterfly drone- Karuzo: what's inside of that drawer.... Nah back to work ![]() |

~Sewers, First Tunnel~ Gin: Is it me, or is it even smellier than it was last time? Sikra: This is why I don’t want to get a job in public sanitation... Kyon: At least we don’t have to fight anything-... *something large skids by* Sikra: Kyaa! Giant Rat! Kyon: How the heck can there be a giant rat around- *gin shines his light at a large furry creature* Gin: Well speak of the devil... ~Iris' house, Sakari's room~ Lady: well, she appears to be doing a good job of keeping things clean... *walks over to a slightly open drawer, out of curiosity, opens it* Lady: *momentarily gives a shocked look, then grimly closes it* ... *looks at Iris* Miss Amado, might it be alright, if I speak with your sister? ~Medical Center, Lobby~ Yoroko: *stops leaning on the mop* Oh, they all left to do some plumbing... At our current state, nothing else we can do but help around the medical center with Mikuru-chan, right? ~Sewers First Tunnel (Really just one last battle tutorial don’t get too worked up over it...) ~ Kyon: *the photonic debugger appears in his hand*... Gin: It seems like there's more... Sikra: Kyaa! *the screen, cracks and shatters apart* Kyon: *standing before a few large sewer rats, by Gin* H-hey! Gin: The hell are you so worked up about? Kyon: What do you mean?! There's a load of these giant sewer rats here! Gin: So? You’ve fought a ton of bad things before... Kyon: We ran most of the time! Plus, we had Karuzo helping along. Gin: What about me? *sighs* Okay, so there's a few of them, just need to use some tactics. Sikra: *behind them* Right! When you got this many enemies, you can try changing your targets to help an ally, or target something weaker... Press and hold (R-1), then use the arrow keys or joystick to cycle though targets... Kyon: Like this? Sikra: Right! Great job! Also, quickly tapping (R1) will automatically make you target the next nearest enemy. Kyon: Well, that wasn’t too hard. Sikra: The Joystick also plays apart in how your basic attacks go too! ♥ Sikra: Combining the normal attack button with moving the joystick up allows you to jump into the air to attack an enemy. Moving the joystick either left or right makes you slash in a more vertical arc to attack slightly higher opponent, it's also a little stronger than just tapping (X) alone. Sikra: Furthermore, you had best realize that you can’t just fight a bad guy with simple attacks like that... Kyon: You mean, like that strike raid move Gin used before... Sikra: Yeah, that's right! You got some sort of special ability right Kyon? Kyon: Uh... none that I can name... Sikra: *sighs* Okay, open up the battle menu with (triangle) and select the Skil menu... From there, you have two bars, the left side has skill you can use, the right, has skills assigned to certain buttons, right now, I'll just equip you with "Air Splitting Sword". Aoyama-san made sure that we learned how to use it... Sikra: Alright, let’s finish off those things; use the (circle) button to initiate the Skil I equipped for you. Kyon: *runs up to one of the rats* Kyon: Air Splitting Sword! *slashes into the air, an wave of air strikes into the rat, taking it out* Sikra: Great! Aoyama would be proud... Also note, you can also assign other Skil by combining the (Circle) button and the arrow keys, as well as the (L1) and (L2) Buttons. In total, you can assign seven different Skils to be used in battle. Now, lets get rid of the rest of em'! *the rats scurry off a bit, one charges back at Kyon* Kyon: *takes a hit* Turgh! Gin: *guards another rat that charges at him, and slices away the other that attacked Kyon* you may also want to know, there are other miscellaneous skills known as CA-Skills that affect how you perform in battle. One of the first ones you'll learn is guard. Taking a little bit of damage will be a lot better than taking the full damage. More'll become available as you fight more and more, but make sure to keep an eye on your AP. Sikra: Right, on a second note, some of the CA-skills branch off. Keep updated in guard skills and you might even learn how to instantly slash back after successfully guarding, *pokes her cheek and grins* Or something like that. Kyon: What is this, a battle tutorial? Sikra: no, just so you can fight a bit better. Kyon: Why don’t you just help us!? Sikra: Against rats? Ewww! Not against them~! Gin: There's more... Kyon:!? *the two last rats charge at Gin and Kyon* *a few moments later* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gin: *puts the sword back into its sheath attached horizontally to the back of his waist, and crosses his arms* what a waste of my time... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gin: Alright, let’s go keep moving... *looks at Sikra* you’re going to help next time... rats or no rats. Sikra: Hai, Onee-sama! ~Useless Notes~ (If ya hadn’t already noticed, this just borrows heavily on the tales of system... On final note, I'll probably do a bit more reorganizing with the character sheet to make it easier to view skills, and, though the tut did say you can equip up to 7 Skil to the buttons, that doesn’t mean you ca only have 5 Skil per battle. Since, from Tales of the Abyss' system, you can freely reassign artes (skil in TMOE) to the buttons from the menu. Just don’t sweat about it! On further note, if you think I'm going to implement something like overlimit, that's still being worked around in my head a bit. I'm hoping the get a better balance between fights and storytelling sequences in coming arcs) ~Edit~ Edited post for the many, many spelling mistakes and whatnot... English is my only language and I cant even type it all that well! >.< |

Kyon: Er... yeah. Sikra: *picking up a toolkit* Hijiri-san was even kind enough to hand us over a toolbox to use. Gin: *furiously scratches his head* Urgh! But I have no plumbing skills! Why do we have to do this!? Kyon: The plumbers arent going to get here anytime soon, and, seeing about yesterday, it was kind of our fault. Sikra: What do you mean yesterday? Kyon: *thinking* None of your concern... Gin: *crosses his arms* So, it's just us three? Kyon: Well, yeah, Serenade-san is out. Those two sisters of his are nowhere to be found... Gin: Tmph. Like we need an entire group of plumbers to go down into the sewers. I'll just jump and stomp out anything that gets in the way. *turns around* Lets get going... Kyon: What if it happens again? Gin: *looks back* Wh... what? Kyon: An attack! Sikra: By giant sewer rats? Kyon: *looks at Sikra* Sikra: *steps back* Hehe... I'll shut-up now... *the three walk down the street, passing by an empty bench* ~Medical Center, Lobby~ Yoroko: *watching them walk off, leaning on a mop* Ummm~... I wanted to accompany them... *looks sadly at the floor* Am I that unpopular? ~Iris' Home, Inside~ Lady: *looking at Iris* Excuse me, Miss Amado, but I really cant finish the inspection if I dont take a look at Sakari-chan's room. |

Kay:*thinking* but whoever gave away the data on dimension jumping must've used Stelle to hunt me, knowing that we're in bad terms...after me...Karuzo, then Gin...then Kyon and finally, Haruhi...but they have no idea who they're messing with...we have a few irregulars amongst our group |

Kay:*thinking*from the shot...i can conclude that it's from Stelle's best sniper... *Mikuru Finishes cleaning up, and proceeds to the window, but stops for a moment* Mikuru: I-...

Kay: kufufu...you could say that... *looks at Mikuru for a bit* Kay:maybe i could disclose this to you...it looks like we're being followed from other dimension jumpers...well, mostly they are my enemies from where we came from. somehow...someone has leaked the method to jump dimension... *twiddling his thumbs* Kay: the one who shot me is from Stelle...an underground group...the bullet that was used one me is probably the Heat Bullet...a bullet that will shine even when dirtied and can go through any material...can i trust you...not to tell this to anyone, yet? |
