Oh my how she would wound me so, throwing me to the floor and placing a foot firmly against my chest. I hummed, thinking - man - don’t people pay good money for this? Too bad I wasn’t interested in such things. “Ohh owwww! Whatever did I do?” I said in mock pain. Knowing full well what had happened. I caught her off guard. Quite easily so - and that pissed her off. It made her very, very angry - and me…very very happy. I had already figured out she was suggestive to hypnotic persuasion. And whilst she normally held fast and strong - right now, she was absolutely exhausted. Why? I hadn’t really

Reytac turned his head to one side, then the other. “I appreciate the warning this time. Hang on, give me a moment with this. ” He demolished the rest of his roll and then downed his tea, putting the cup in the trash receptacle nearby. As his back was to her, he sent Mari a quick, abrupt message. Reytac - >Mari Purple hair is named Emilia. She's on her way to fourth floor. Asked if I want to go, y/N? Mari → Reytac: I know. Is fine. If it somehow came to a fight, then he had a feeling he would just end up getting in Mari's way, or worse, make her have to

Khione leaned back against the chair, sighing as she saw another ping from Vex, she ignored it for now. “I guess it can be rough.” She mused as she glanced into her cup. Khione felt in situations like this, truth worked far better than any lie ever could. “I was testing the game for some patients, to make sure it was safe - see its power consumption, and all that.” SHe paused to take a sip. “I’m a nurse. This game was supposed to be for the children, something for them to do during long hospital trips, or ones who were bedridden. I loathe to think what would have happened if it weren't for us

Reytac munched on his roll for a moment as Emilia spoke, not trying to be rude but trying to quiet the rumbling in his stomach. As she talked, he nodded once or twice and used eating to cover the fact that his face twitched once or twice. He let out a short laugh and wiped his mouth of any crumbs with a napkin, then politely sipped the cappuccino that she'd had the waiter set down, ignoring his protest. “I suppose so. I was one of those with my head stuck in the sand after the whole announcement back then, so I missed it. Bit of a shock, I'm sure you can imagine.” He had also noted that,

Mari didn’t trust him, so she opened up her HUD system, one hand still on her pouch. Eyes constantly flicking up to the white haired man to ensure he didn’t take a single step further, he seemed quite happy to just bounce to and fro from his toes to the heels of his feet. “I ain’t want to hurt you, Mari.” He said with a whistle. “Go on, tell anyone and everyone ol’ Vex is here!” He said with a flourish and a bow, scraping his feet against the snow. Ugh Mari inwardly cringed at his demeanor, she didn’t like it. Somehow…it reminded her of Tybalt. If Tybalt had his wits about him, and

I grinned, oh this area o’ the forest she says. I tilted my head to the side in a mock pout, placing a finger on my lips. “Oh? Why? Is there something about this area of the forest?” I gestured to the trees around us. Knowing full well that she lived nearby. “This is far enough away from the main settlement for me not to be a….you know…” I rolled my hand over and over before making an exaggerated point to my cursor. “This thing! It just never disappears!” I lamented with a mock faint. “I hadn’t even killed anyone, you know?” Technically true, by the rules of Aincrad and its standards - my nam

“Emelia.” Khione reintroduced herself as she gestured for the NPC waiter to set the cup of cappuccino in front of Reytac. “That’s my real name, of course. I prefer to use it.” She said, It was honest. Using her real name helped humanize herself, disarm others - and kept her username safe. “I’m pretty good with remembering things.” Khione said as she shut her book and set it away in her inventory. Best case scenario it was. He had chosen to sit across from her. Reytac mentioned the shop. “Oh! So you met Mari then?” Khione asked with an amused grin. “I’m glad. I only met her once, and she

Reytac tilted his head to one side. It wasn't hard to pretend he'd forgotten her name - he had, after all. “Right, yes, you're the lady who actually wanted mead while the others just kept taking beer. Met you the same time as..” He pulled his drink of tea and roll out as he sat down in the seat she had indicated, then tapped his fingers against the table. “Abellio. That was his name and the other guy. Sorry, I'm terrible with names now, been a while since I tried to remember any.” This was the woman, the one who sent him to Mari's shop. Potentially setting him up to die, if the orange pl

Mari had one hand firmly planted on her hip, the other - on her satchel of tricks. She had only met this man once before - and he was with a purple haired woman who called herself Emilia. Although her real name was Khione. This was not a coincidence. Running into Reytac - the footprints - “You were following me.” Mari said tersely as her hand dipped into her satchel. “Explain.” This didn’t bode well, at least not for Vex. He seemed to always be attached at Khiones hip. Mari remembered the name now. The interaction. How pissed Khione had been at Vex for him revealing her screen na

Mari had one hand firmly planted on her hip, the other - on her satchel of tricks. She had only met this man once before - and he was with a purple haired woman who called herself Emilia. Although her real name was Khione. This was not a coincidence. Running into Reytac - the footprints - “You were following me.” Mari said tersely as her hand dipped into her satchel. “Explain.” This didn’t bode well, at least not for Vex. He seemed to always be attached at Khiones hip. Mari remembered the name now. The interaction. How pissed Khione had been at Vex for him revealing her screen name.

I laughed to myself as I saw the curt reply from my darling little Emelia - my how quick to anger she was. I whistled to myself as I traced back my footsteps on the fourth floor. I knew Mari was smart, I knew she was astute - but damn noticing my footprints? Amidst all the others? I leaned down to glance at my boots. They were pure white dress shoes - sharply angled at the toe. “Ahhh… I see, I see.” I said to myself as I let my foot waggle to and fro. “So you, my pesky little friends - are what had caused it.” I wagged a finger at my boot, as if chastising it. “Tut, tut! You’re going to make s

Lilac eyes watched as a familiar face approached her - Ah. Reytac. She hadn’t expected to see him anytime soon. Perhaps luck had been on her side lately. Khione grinned as he approached only to have him walk right past her. The woman blinked. She supposed she hadn’t left that much of an impression on him. Oh well. She wasn’t the type of woman to go running after someone. She picked up her half empty cappuccino and took another long sip before shifting her attention to her messenger - tiny beeps had been going off in her ear, one after another. Rosaria → Khione: Need some fresh supplies.

The familiar sounds of the Town of Beginnings washed over Reytac, wrapping around him like a comfortable, well worn jacket. While he was trying to push further ahead and grow, he still found himself coming back here on occasion. He'd spent a long time here after being trapped, even if most of it was a blur of depression and hopelessness. Teleporting always made him feel a bit queasy, he didn't know why - and hadn't seen others affected by it. Most seemed to treat it as just stepping from one place to another, but to him it was always disorienting. Just one more reason he was glad that the tele

A bag of potatoes lugged over her right shoulder, she was making her normal morning runs. A path that Rai had carved for her a little while back. Had shown her where most of the small villages where that needed security and help to keep going or get back on their feet. This specific floor was dark and gloomy even durning the day. She knew that she would need to do some upkeep on her armor after this, it wasn't exactly clean around these parts. It would be a little better smelling than the slime place but it still burned the inside of her nose. Couldn't help to think that it could be from the c

It may very well have been the first time Mari properly tried exploring the floor. And with good reason. The entire floor was a big sloppy, stinky muddy mess. "Eargh..." Each footstep landed in wet. Her muddied shoes beyond saving. The woman was using her halberd as a makeshift walking stick, every so often pausing to shove it into the murky marshland beneath her feet to ensure her path wasn't too deep. Despite the woman's best efforts the muddied waters had leaked into her shoots and her feet were wet. Every so often Mari would pause, and quite literally set herself on fire - in an attempt t
