Though no music played, and the bar was missing the trademark hum of other patrons talking, the steady drumming of the rain had provided a soundtrack of sorts. Their gentle back-and-forth, hazy at the edges with the help of the alcohol, also blanketed H.P.'s in a serene stillness at odds with the horrors they'd experienced all day. It was comforting, a tiny oasis in a barren wasteland. Of course, Lessa shattered that stillness as she slammed her glass atop the bar with a crack reminiscent of gunfire. "Are you kidding me?" she howled, swiveling on her stool so that she faced him. Without w

Routine. This had been what kept Sable somewhat sane. After all, what else would you do when you were trapped in a place like this? Ever since high school he had gotten up first thing in the morning and ran. It was hell at first. Sure he was fast, but there's a difference between running in short bursts, and running. With time it became easier, and he could go farther and longer. Joining the track club had helped immensely. By the time he graduated it had become a habit. And now here he was, imprisoned in a virtual world, and he was still getting up at dawn to run. It was almost easi

It was clear that Freyd was total and utterly confused at the point. Maybe Sam didn't say the right words or give enough information, regardless the man seemed lost. Sam takes a slow deep breath before looking up at him. "Lium lied to me about what happened that day to our friends and him, then lied again about my friends hating me. Lium most likely did this to save me from myself because he knew what I would do if I knew the truth." Sam gestures to all the paper hanging and laying around on the floors and walls. "Remember what Raidou always says, it's better to be fully prepared for anyt

Was she simply trying to make him feel better about his colossal fuck-up? It had been her neck on the line, after all. Oscar didn't much think that he deserved such a sweet reaction after almost getting her killed. But neither would he reject the gesture. He'd rather deal with the guilt than her the rejection. So he played along, but his heart wasn't exactly in it. "I'm glad you did," Oscar said. "Except for that bit right at the end there, it was a very enjoyable day." Her resting her head against his chest came as a shock, but it was a nice surprise. He breathed out a laugh and shook h

Whatever white granules that the friend of Freyd had spilled all over the ground seemed to cause the reflective thing from moving very much. In fact, the thing seemed to be very confused. It attempted to march its way in one direction before stopping at a line of the substance, then turning to go another direction. Hanami tilted her head in confusion, trying to compute the information at hand. She felt droplets of rain begin to fall, large droplets splattering against the back of her head and onto the ground below. One large drop fell onto a bit of the powder, seemingly dissolving it before he

me when i peer pressure ms into closing a thread only to leave the stats a ph anyway. At lunch with Morningstar, five more levels dropped into Yue Hua's lap. She gobbled them up indiscriminately. Stomach full and the eldritch speed of her leveling politely unaddressed by her dining partner, Yue Hua thought of messaging her benefactor a string of question marks but remembered they would prefer not to be contacted where Morningstar can easily see their name on her mail window. Guild leader and tracker were soon back on track, traipsing through the woods of Floor 8 towards their

Beaten roads through the miasma left in a pungent thick film, yellow and trailing. The stuff would even cling to him but not penetrate the leather adorning his own body, yet it would reek until pulled into a chemical bath. A rough tug of his sleeve would pull the dense gloves up tightly into place, causing the stuff to screech as its pulled taught. Sam was left inside the stuff, having stuck her nose into a matter she was ill equipped to be perusing around in. A section of tinfoil for the raccoon to get its hand stuck in a box for. Another black haired catastrophe, how many was that now? Tappi

The Skyrat Raider chased him to the back of the hull, where the escape pods were located. He could see Nari at the far end, waiting for Star before she set off in her pod. A single one remained. The rest had been taken by the surviving crew members, and perhaps some of the pirates who wished not to go down with someone else's ship. Another explosion. The airship groaned, and Morningstar swore he heard a cracking sound from above. He spun, digging his blade through the final pirate's torso and watching as he crumbled to blue dust. Nari called for him to hurry, but before he could tak

note: Nari-Lanreth has exited the thread due to inactivity; I will solo from here on. The creaking of the ship signaled them to evacuate. Regardless, the pirates fought on. Morningstar swayed from one end of the room to the other, wobbling like a child learning to skate. Flames erupted from the room next door, led by an explosion that shook the hull. He shouted at Nari to go on ahead; he would catch up to her when he could. In the meantime, he stayed behind and fended off the Skyrat Raiders. Their attention was stuck to Nari-Lanreth until a wide sword art from Morningstar stole it aw

Yellow smoke starts fumigate the entire area around Sam, not inhaling holding her breath. Climbing the nearest building to get away from it, Sam felt her skin begin to burn. Glancing around trying to find the large fountain in the middle of town. Spotting it but her sight was beginning to blur. What the hell was this stuff, thinking as she jumps across the roof tops toward the water. Maybe if she could wash it off, it would be okay. There was a few more to parkour onto, on the last her vision goes dark and she misses the edge of the building smashing against the side. How was this even po

Creepy, dank, and unnervingly wet. As if Aincrad didn't have enough of that. Sure, the swamp floor had its share of rank bogs, but at least it had some sunlight now and again. On the other hand, Floor 13 had been cloudy, but there were still some cool craggy landscapes and crumbling cityscapes to explore. This place was just...depressing. 'Nightmarish' may have been more apt a description. Elora had made no haste to come to this place. Not after Freyd's harrowing encounter with death. She hadn't been there when he had needed her most, and to imagine, rushing onto a level without safezone

As they'd all slosh about in that pond of fluids of ancient make, the woman would lift a lantern and keep her eyes locked to it. The incandescent glow seemed thick, unending and despite the diameter it felt vast. Mainly because they were actually looking for a needle in a haystack. Who knew where it could end up, and a thought even causes Nisa to look up again for a third time. "I don't really know...." The phrase fell of her lips as the thought of it being above them still roared through her head. Her gaze seems almost dead locked on the ceiling, a thousand yard stare in deep thought as she'd

As the first crisp notes of Jomei's violin rose over the storm, Lessa let her head roll back. "My Chemical Romance," she growled, pleasure coursing through her body and through her words. "Yesssss, such a good choice." There was something haunting about so many of My Chemical Romance's songs, and Helena in particular had always set her on edge in the best kind of way. The song was about not being there for the people who needed you, after all, and it was so much more morose on a single violin. It fit the mood perfectly, accompanying the party's actions like an expertly crafted movie soundtrack

More sky blasts detonated additional tree tops, tweaking Freyd's nogging to a disturbingly predictable pattern too closely matching explosives in controlled building demolitions. "Seriously?!" Grumbles from above sounded suspiciously like chuckling as one escape route after another closed itself to possible passage. Leaping onto the carriage, Freyd slid his cargo inside with impertinent care before slapping the back of the infernal machine to kickstart its idling engine and send it lurching forward. Sparing a glance behind them, flaming logs impacted the giant ship and tore a fatal gas
