FLOOR 88

[Haken was actually rather surprised to see a bar here, of all things. He wasn't too heavy of a drinker, so the lack of alcohol really didn't bother him too much. Though the pool table certainly caught his eye. He's certainly up for a game if you are, though he's got a deck of cards on hand (Thankfully, these don't explode) if your interests are elsewhere. What better place to have a game of poker than a smokey bar?]



FLOOR 61
This tower gets weirder and weirder every day. I'm the one who's supposed to be watching large mounds bounce around, not the other way around...Nice weather though.

[He's still obliged to explore though... until he gets to a pit and almost falls into it. Though, the weather is perfect and he feels like he could use a little nap. So he lays down, and places his hat over his face to block out the sun. Nothing like a siesta now and then. Bother him, trip over him. Some shenanigans will happen, for certain.]


FLOOR 74
[What would a JRPG character be without the obligatory random battle sequence? Looks like Haken's in the middle of a tough fight here, facing several monsters at once. The sounds of his gunfire echoes through the cavern, might not be too hard to find him.]

Can't a guy get some exploring done without being hassled by monsters every two steps? Feels like this is a thing everywhere I go...

[Haken provides more cover fire from his nightfowl, and after begins shuffling a deck of exploding cards, getting ready to throw some out before he rushes in himself. But before that... he gets an idea. A ridiculous, risky gamble, and just the kind he likes. He begins looking at the stalactites on the ceiling.]

Pardner, you feeling lucky? I've got an idea... and as long as that blade of yours is as sharp as it looks, we might be able to pull something off.

[surpassthelimit]

It'll cut through what I need it to. If you got a plan, shoot.

[nightfowl]

Alright, I'll toss an exploding card by you on the ground. Right before it explodes, jump. Should propel your jump high enough to reach some of those lower-hanging stalactites and cut them down. We'll bring the house down on these guys.

[Rocket jumping, Haken Browning style.]

[surpassthelimit]

That sounds exactly like my kind of plan and I'll one up it a bit. Let's do it.

[nightfowl]

[Exactly what he wanted to hear. He readies a few cards to toss out.]

You'd have fit right in travelling with us, pardner.

Ready to score some frequent flyer miles?

[surpassthelimit]

Ready and waiting for takeoff.

[nightfowl]

Alright.

[He then tosses the cards down, and takes a few distracting shots at the monsters.]

Ready for takeoff!

[surpassthelimit]

[He leaps and, when the cards do blow, he rides the wave up into the air.

The blade rolls out of the tonfa when he nears the ceiling and he unleashes his planned attack.]

Shikkutou!!!

[With one slash, a wave of ki slashes out over a wide area and cuts the overhanging rocks with ease. Which causes a lot of devastation thanks to the height Haken supplied him with.]

[nightfowl]

Alright! Thanks pardner. Now that we've rocked their world, let's send them home packing.

Give it all you got, then I'll follow up with Longtomb.
