The late morning sun shone down on her, breaking away some of the chill that had overtaken the air. Nari had chosen the second floor out of habit, moving down from the main settlement and into the river valleys with ease and comfort. There wasn’t a lot here that could harm her – an important part of her plan in the coming hours. She’d intended to do nothing more than some basic grinding, cutting down mobs in order to obtain the materials, col and other resources required. That didn’t require her to enter areas of danger beyond the most basic of requirements. The wild oxen roamed the field

Nari was more than familiar with the requirements of most games. Resources were required for anything, and more so than ever in Aincrad. Even though it was a digital world, basic amenities were still a necessity for survival – including food and drinks. That meant making some means of currency, in this case the famous col. Every player in Aincrad knew that basis, whether they came into the world with the knowledge, or learnt it over time. Nari’s current issue was the lack of any materials to her name – a fact that she had partially cursed herself for earlier. An up and coming player had c

Scents of the Wild: Leeching Nightmare Crisp autumn air filled her lungs as Nari settled onto the balcony of the house she now called home. Once, it had been nothing more than a place to rest and sleep. To store the valuables that had come to be her possessions within this world. Now, though, it was home. It was a place to find comfort, friendship and family – as much as one could, in a digital experience. The morning air flowed from her lips, crystallising slightly as the cold touched it – cold that wasn’t quite to the bone, but fresh enough to awaken her fully from the rest she’d l

The words were spoken in an abrupt bark that caused Lancaster to jump. Mari was too tired, too far gone to have that level of fear within her - perhaps...it was also because she knew what lay beneath. She knew intimately what it felt like to wear the armour the faceless lord wore. Semantics mattering little? Mari's brows furrowed at that, her jaw clenched. She wanted answers. "I doubt that...." Words muttered beneath her breath. But questioning him further here wasn't the right way to go about it. Perhaps Mari would try to talk to Raidou later...maybe he'd never have a true answer for her. Ma

The blade in hand the lord looms, heavy foot steps that portrayed a mass with weight exceeding its stature. That cool almost black blade hungers for death and dismemberment, having feasted plenty and yet still left unsatisfied. "Semantics, Vincent knows how little they matter. Isn't that right?" It barked in an abrupt scorn toward them both, twisting the blade and listening deeply to their pulse. An avatar silently portraying their discomfort like a human body, and functioning just the same. The blade raises high above Lancaster's head, who can visibly be seen flinching. Expecting the headsman

The man clung to Mari as if she was going to vanish, with her head nestled neatly in his neck her warmth all but welcome under such a trial. It felt like a court room where a prosecutor was speaking, and he was the defendant. Every word was rough and coarse like sandpaper, rubbing raw his skin and leaving him wounded beyond a simple scratch. "I believe you..." The man whispered to his beloved, allowing all of his insistent thoughts to be made false through faith alone. A gut reaction to the fact that what they had was real, not manufactured. "I want you too." he muttered weakly staring death i

Lancaster denied a chance to reply, the overlapping voices of the Faceless Lord addressed him and Mari immediately stilled. Her grip tightening to the point her fingers would draw drops of blood, her body shaking. Mari could hear the song of steel as sword drew against the ground. Mari reluctantly let Lancaster go, only to turn - staring directly at the Faceless Lord. Ensuring she were the shield to protect him. She'd not allow a repeat of her brother. Mari would throw herself onto the damn blade itself if it meant protecting him- giving him enough time to flee. "With all due respect..."

I laughed slapping Lancaster on the back, a little friendly pat. "Oh! you do~" I clasped my hands together, barely able to contain my glee. So he wanted her to give in to those oh so alluring primal instincts of hers? "She was so close! so- so close! But you stopped her!" I said as I clapped my hands together in tiny little plaps. "What did she say, what did she say?" I asked in mock thought. "Something about not wanting to get involved in another fingers business, hmmmm~? You Sure She shouldn't just join us? She already follows the rules~ Wouldn't that make it easier for you, no? Mi Ameekohh

The obnoxious tone the guy took left Lancaster's temper far more on blast then usual. It was one that was shared by others in his little troupe of wild cards that were borderline insane. "I wish she gutted you." He offered without an ounce of tact on his tone as his hand is forcibly shook, and Lancaster considers just setting the fucker on fire and being done with it. But it would do nothing more then call the hounds of Laughing Coffin even closer to his sanctuary, and until the moment arose he'd pin that thought. "You keep my wifes name out of your mouth, Vex. This is your only warning. You s

The film of crimson persists through the air like a malevolent vapor draining the life from all within his confines, as a roaring streak of red scorched the souls of those it gazed upon. A feral looking creature that almost fully divorced itself from humanity despite having arms and legs, its skin a polished black ooze that dripped void like ink from its wrists and elbows. "Vincent Lionetti." It spoke in a sharp tongue, one of twin tones overlapped over one another. A duality to it, alien and unnatural. "Best not jump to conclusions as you are notorious for." It hissed as the blade is ripped c

"And I'm not the Pink PKer anymore. I'm far more than that now." Defiance flickered in her eyes, a resolve. A refusal to be known as the Pink PKer, a monkier she had long since abandoned. Mari was all but ready to collapse; her arm burned...her chest on fire...without the glasses she felt whispers tickle her mind - screaming at her - doubts telling her Lancaster wasn't real. She needed him. Mari really needed Lancaster by her side, to keep her together. A shriek from the man, broken and small, cracking in fear caused Mari to turn...facing him. A stumble as she tried to comfort him, fallin

*Continuation of This Lancaster watched on frozen to events as they'd unfold, clinging desperately to every spoken word. His bones seemed to not want to move, for within his sight was the devil incarnate. The very same he'd spat in the face of and hid from not but a couple weeks prior. Was this it? A consequence of his attempts to live a life with Amari? Staring them down, and Mari seemed to be so much more familiar with the lord then he'd ever thought possible. A desperate hand reaching out to her as she'd move in close, but his feet remaining rooted out of terror. Out of breath as the m

With her back still against V, and a stomach filled with liquid courage Mari began rambling.
