Alide has some weird kinks.

Alide seems to be surprisingly animated as she offers them the drinks. Yulia hesitates before taking one, "Um... It's good to see you, Alide. I definitely didn't expect to see you like this," she says and Alide grins.

"I agree! I'm so glad you came to this floor. It's pretty special. No special place for my sister, Dreg or I so we just have to blend into the society here which means I get to actually work. You ever worked? It's such fun!" she says and then giggles, "I have a boss... It's so weird. He even yells at me sometimes! Can you imagine. I'm basically a goddess in this place and yet I'm letting some random person tell me what to do!" she says happily and then sighs, "It's thrilling... I might have to find a way to keep doing this even when you leave," she says and then blinks, "Oh! Someone even grabbed my ass earlier! No one ever does that when I'm fulfilling my normal role..." she stops as she realizes Yulia is simply staring at her.

"I guess maybe it's just me? Anyway, you want something?" she asks and Yulia nods.

"In a bit though. You'll have to leave if I get something right now so, I'm going to do other stuff first and then come back," she says and Alide nods.

"See you in a bit then!" she says and walks off to continue her work.

"Does Yoo-Lee-Ah think Goma can be graceful?" Goma asks and yulia hesitates as she turns to leave the club.

"Goma can do anything if she puts her mind to it," she responds.

The group head to Goma's alchemy shop and Goma makes four mana potions, before they head to Martin's to talk to him about things.

"Well... The rapier is a masterwork... It's..." he hesitates, "I'm hesitant to admit it, but it's better than anything I can make. It seems to be on par with the kind of special weapons you get from the floor bosses and floor monsters, nothing crafted will match it, but that doesn't mean you can't get something better. It's the same quality for instance, but lacking the kind of special enchantments those types of weapons tend to have, so maybe you can get something better in the future. I can improve it with the Solanium or Nethicite of course, but it's up to you," he explains.

"Alright we'll wait on that then. For now though. We'll reinforce my armor and Goma's thick hide, also add the nethicite to Goma's thick hide," Yulia suggests.

Martin nods, "I'll uh... Need to borrow your armor of course," he says and Yulia hesitates and then strips down to her underwear and hands the scapular over. Goma strips down without hesitation and hands over the Thick Hide. The three women wait as Martin works. Yulia clearly uncomfortable in just her underwear. Sitting with her knees pressed to her chest to cover as much of herself as possible.

A bit later the alterations are complete and Yulia redresses as does Goma. The Scapular now has metal plates on the hanging parts between her legs, running up to her crotch, there are also added metal plates to the stomach and chest and the shoulders have plates embedded to provide some protection for her arms.

The thick hide outfit has changed, the skin now a dark black colour and with metal plating covering the chest and back.

With that done they head back to the cathedral and speak to Melina about the Deep's Blessing. "Well... I mean... I don't know if it has any real effect... It's... You know... Religion... It's the same as saying I'll pray for your success... I have faith that it will help you, but the benefit is... kind of intangible..." she admits, obviously annoyed at being asked the practical effect of her religious beliefs.

With everything else taken care of, they return to Alide who is busy serving drinks to a table. As the group watches one of the men gives her a spank on the ass as she walks away and she seems excited at the prospect and spotting Yulia she approaches and giggles, "did you see that? Such disrespect... I could kill him easily and he doesn't even realize it," she says excitedly and then smiles, "anyway what did you want?"

"A spell please. An Offensive spell," she asks.

Alide nods and puts out her hand, not holding the drink tray. A spellbook appears in her hand and she hands it over. The title says, "Life Drain"

"there you go," she says and then tilts her head, "Oh... Also I won't give you anything for the bone spear, but the old oak club I can give you a new special weapon for it" she offers.
