/qst/ - Quests


You just got enrolled at Al-Revis Academy, a school that is in a continent in the sky. The school was created to teach alchemy to those that have the potential to do so, which is the ability to see mana. A mana is sort of like an elemental being. On the Subject of mana you

>1. Have a contract with the mana of crystals, after all who else should get it than some of the richest people in the world
>2. Have a contract with the mana of magma, It likes your resolve since you were taught to be a knight at a young age by your father.
>3. Have a contract with the mana of sound, it showed up while you were playing with you instrument
>4. Other

Your name is...
>A. Beliphous Nalastia.
>B. Other
(Just so you know the main character is male mostly because of the fact I won't be able to write from a female point of view. The first name is there to help people who go with B understand how wild the names can get.)

You head off to the speech you're supposed to hear to welcome you was given to you by the principle, a motherly woman in her late 40s/ early fifties. Standing next to her is a scarred up man who you assume to be the vice principle. After the speech you head to your home room. While waiting for the teacher to show up the next to your assigned seat is a girl with black hair up in ponytail occasionally taking glances next to you. Finally a professionally woman walks in to the room, and yelled "Silence!" this quiets down some of your more talkative classmates. "Vou shall refer to me as prof. Karnap or mam, I shall be your homeroom teacher for your duration at the academy. Is this understood?" after a pause filled with silence "I said is this understood!?" with most of the class responding "Yes man!". After her lecture of what she'll expect of you during here the girl next to you starts talking "Hi, my name is Melanie Ruthers, what's yours?" "Beliphous Nalastia, pleasure to meet your acquaintance." "Since we're both new here how about we explore the campus?"

"I wouldn't mind." "Okay good, also what type of mana do you have?I have the mana of poison." After she says that a brightly colored girl with insect like features shows up behind her, grinning. "I have the mana of magma" on your que it shows up at your side. "Well let's get to exploring then." you explore various parts of the campus. The part's where you explored where the student store where they sell various materials and occasionally alchemy recipes. Then was student affairs where you sign up for a field class for a week, and occasionally people post job's they need done. Then came the Cafeteria, where they sell fruit and veggies with occasional food related recipes. Then after that was the infirmary, where Melanie seemed... anxious? you couldn't really tell. The infirmary well take care of you when you need it but they can sell medicine and recipes for said medicine occasionally. You also receive a pendent that can take you back to the safe part of the campus should you ever get in trouble. "We should probably find a workshop, since that's where we'll be doing most of the alchemy." You remember during the enrollment that the school provides free use of workshops as long as four students are using it. While walking through the hallway you hear a "Hey" as a girl in a blue uniform, indicating she's a year above you. The school recycles the color of classes the graduates to people that just enroll. "Do you mind joining my workshop? I need some more members if I wanna keep it." She has messy hair of dark brown hair with dark rings under her eyes.

"Sure might as well, are there any other Members?"
"Just another freshman, he's a grumpy beastman."
You and Melanie walk into the workshop and like she said, there's a grumpy looking beastman sitting at a table.
"Hi my name name is Beliphous Nalastia, this Melanie Ruthers. What's your guys names?"
The beastman just looks at you and just sighs.
"My name is Catrina, and I think his name is Cardinanad."
After the introductions the vice principle comes into the room "You seriously managed to get members for the workshop? I thought you would just nap in here like how you've always done so far."
"But I managed to get the members like you said, doesn't that mean I get to keep it?"
"I will on condition, In a few weeks if you managed to bring me a plosion you will be able to keep it. You probably didn't get the recipe for it so here it is.
obtained explosive powder
"Well hopefully you guys will be able to get it done, I'm going to sleep"
Melanie and Card has joined your party
The next day you went to student affairs so you, Melanie, and Card can pick out field class for the week.

"Welcome, I'm prof. Tieck, in this class we'll be talking about the very basics of synthesizing."
The teacher seems to be a man in his mid 30's.
"One thing that you all should know is when synthesizing, you can technically change up the recipe, which will affect how low the ether level starts at. The ether level will subtly affect the end product. Another thing to note is when you are making something you have synthesized before it will be easier to mass produce it following the same way you made it before. In this course you will produce one of the very basic things you'll be needing to make as a alchemist, a healing jar. Some of the materials for you should be able to get in your workshop, the rest will be in the living forest. Don't worry, even thought there's monsters in there you should be able to get through there even if you haven't taken combat 1 yet."
Obtained the recipe healing medicine
"Well let's get going guys." as Melanie grabs all of her things preparing to head out.
That will be all for today. I'll be planning on running tomorrow at 8pm CST, if not it will be around the same time as today on Friday.

"Oh one last thing bring the finished result to my office and on most field courses you can work together" Prof. Tieck says before he heads out.

While walking through the hallway Melanie chimes in "Where should we head first?"
"...I don't care" Card can talk!?

>A. "Let's head to the living forest"
>B. "Let's stop by our workshop first"
>C. "How about we stop by one of the places we can by stuff from first?" (Which one?)

Living forest it is, writing.

"Let's head to the living forest."

After walking off campus you manage to get to the you manage to get the living forest, "let's get started looking through the grass." Melanie said as she crouched down looking through it followed by Card.

After shifting through grass you manage to find a Blue petal. Here Melanie shout "Um guys, I think I need some here!" you go to where Melanie's voice originated and there are several monsters surrounding her.
You see Card pull out some tonfas and Melanie pulls out a fan.
You pull out a

i like it so far, it needs more interaction between the characters but its the first thread so thats not really much of a problem

Good point. I'm thinking that I should probably ditch some of the original mechanics of the game. At least when it comes to combat.
>>1345946
I got plenty of the that planned, don't you worry.
