Kirito

Kirito noded to Lessa with thanks as he knelt down to pick up the paper. "Thank you. I really appreciate your help." Just as he touched the paper, words popped up and announced, "ITEM EXPIRED" and the paper burst into blue crystals. Kirito's face went blank and stayed expressionless as he kept his hand held out to hold the paper that wasn't there. 

"...Oh no. That, was going to restore the durability on my only sword. And now..." He checked his items and opened up his sword's info.

<<Durability>> 3/250

"I can't fight anything or my sword will break... And right now we're in a..." He looked up as wolves spawned nearby. "...A mob spawn territory."

Kirito produced a small smile as he heard the story. Definitely an interesting listen. He saw the familiar come bounding back with the paper and Kirito kneeled down. "Well, I'm surprised. It found it no problem." Kirito said, reaching out a hand to take the paper. He was iffy though. Usually an animal wouldn't let go of something to anyone other than it's master. 

Kirito nodded in agreement. "Same. I especially enjoy just one person to socialize with. I'm not exactly a fan of large crowds." He said, as the stoat searched around for the voucher. "Never seen a creature like that before. Most people go for the generic dragon or wolf. Where did you find this one at?" Kirito inquired, looking the small creature over.

Kirito shook her hand and gave a small smile. "Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it." He let go and then turned back to the field, scanning it again. "So you're a Beast Tamer? I hear that's a tricky business to undertake." The Blackswordsman said, looking through some grass. Personally, he didn't want a familiar. He needed to be the only one fighting a monster in order to level up his skills at a better rate. Any familiar would just divide up EXP. Though, a few people he knew made it work.

Kirito rubbed the back of his neck as he looked at the time on his HUD. "I would stay... But I have to go for my daily grinding. Can't afford to miss even a second. Thank you for having me." Kirito said, doing a small bow before turning to the door and placing a hand on the door knob. Hearing Xethan talk to him, Kirito stopped and looked for a bit. "Um... I think I remember you, but your name escapes me at the moment. Sorry." Kirito then opened the door and walked out, knowing he had to stay focused on his training.

[Kirito leaves RP]

Kirito sighed and figured she was going to help him one way or another. "A small slip of paper, kept in your average size envelope. It has a brown color, so it blends in with the grass here, unfortunately." He said, moving some hair out of his eyes as he looked up to the stranger. "My name is Kirito. You?" He said, standing up and brushing some gold colored blades of grass of of his dark black coat. He figured if she was going to help she may as well get to know the name of the guy she was helping.

Kirito looked up to see another player near him, having spoke to get his attention. A little surprised, he hadn't thought that players were still on this floor. "Just trying to find something, no help needed." He lied, frantically continuing the search in the grass. Realistically speaking, his detection skill was very low, as he had been investing in other stats. So he was having a hard time finding his voucher. He probably did need her help, but he wasn't one to trouble another for his mess-up.

Kirito nodded again. "Yes, I'm Kirito. I wouldn't really consider myself infamous, but I guess there's no such thing as bad publicity..." He was getting unnerved by the large crowd and he rubbed his neck sheepishly, not sure how to go about it. "And a bagel sounds great, thank you." He said to Argumail, accepting the bagel offered to him and taking a bite. 

Kirito walked through the tall grasses of Floor 3, his long, black coat brushing against the reeds that spurt from the ground. The Beater held a hand over his eyes to keep the sun out of his gaze as he scanned the area. "Where did it go to...?" He mumbled, looking about the grass. What he was referring to was a voucher that would get his sword sharpened at a local smith shop. And when fighting a bit too hard a while ago, it slipped out of his quick inventory. Kirito sighed as he looked around some more. "I'm never going to find that thing..."

Kirito nodded and crossed his arms, listening intently. "Other Beaters?" He said, not knowing it was possible to be others. He had taken the title in hopes that anyone else like it wouldn't be so badly treated. But it seemed as though these people were treating him much better. Mainly, this seemed how it usually went down. Kirito was well-recognized for floor clearing, as the Maverick Hunter known as "Keith" was recognized for his work in Maverick Hunting. "I guess I could show up. Though, I'm slightly surprised you would invite a complete stranger to your wedding."

Kirito was surprised that he had been approached, and he took a small step back. "...No... Thank you. The last thing you need is someone like me to ruin your special day." He did want to go, but someone with his reputation would more than likely bring unwanted vibes to the wedding. On top of that, he didn't have any fancy clothes. "I guess I can stay introduce myself to your friends." The Black Swordsman said, reaching out a hand to shake. "I'm Kirito. Solo-Player and Beater. You?"

Kirito stood off in the distance, watching the other players talk. He heard there was a wedding, and frankly, a happy event was something he liked to see in times like this. He wanted to go over and talk, socialize, and just be with the other players there, but his shy and social-phobic personality told him to do otherwise. So he just stood off, holding back the urge to join in. With his reputation as a Beater, it was extremely tough to actually find someone willing to give him a chance.

Okay, I'm legitimately pissed off. Someone has been using my Kirito account, and it sure as hell hasn't been me. Kirito has not been inactive for three weeks, and now, someone has gone onto this account, and done all sorts of crap with it. I am sincerely outraged, seeing as how the ONLY person allowed to control this account should be me, Keith, and yet someone took a gutsy move and began using Kirito. This is some serious crap, and I want to know who did it.

I heard shouting behind me, and turned immediately to see another player coming fast with his sword. He miraculously landed his rapier through the boar without a second thought, nor any harm to himself. I smiled lightly knowing that he was here to help...but frowned again at the thought. Stop being so weak and take care of yourself! This is your life! I scolded myself and threw myself forward, stabbing my spear through the boar as it's squeal transfered to a shattering sound. I saw tiny blue triangles float into the sky. Forgetting the other player's presence I let out a deep sigh of relief.

Sachi: 4/5 HP

Boar: 0/0 HP, died.

I opened my HUD and with a shaking hand clicked the inventory button. From there I found my starter weapon and equipped it. I gripped my hands tight around the starter spear that appeared in my hands. My lips made a thin line, not a smile nor a frown on my face. You can DO this Sachi...Don't freeze up like last time! I gave myself a mini pep talk then approached a small boar. My stomach started to twist into knots as it turned my way and cocked it's head at me. The littler boar squealed with excitement of new prey and charged at me. I squeaked in terror and held my spear in front of me as I tried to defend myself against the tiny thing.

Sachi 4/5

Boar 3/3

Again my cheeks flushed red as I straightened my back to stand. What did he think I thought?! I nervously pushed a piece of hair behind my ear and looked at Hi no. I didn't notice it before he he was taller than me, and of course I saw he had blonde hair. Well, if were friends then...would it be okay if I knew what your opinions are? O-on this game of course...I mean, could we r-really die here? My eyes looked into his with a serious determination to them. If Hi no is my first friend in this game then I should get to know him!

My eyes widened at the events he spoke of. I stood up slowly and bowed to Hi no with a very embarrassed look on my face. I'm in your debt, if you are speaking the truth then I t-thank you for saving me...I'm s-sorry for thinking otherwise Hi no! I squeaked out quickly and bowed over and over again, hoping he would accept my apology and gratitude. I wasn't the type of person who wouldn't admit to their mistakes, I knew I was in the wrong here.

He would simply chuckle and just shake his head. " Thanks for being there for me man. " He would walk over and extend his hand to Kiluia. But then he took it away and opened up his menu. He would rather give him the bracers that he was wearing and just look at him." These are for you.. " He would speak softly." I.. Just don't feel like fighting at the moment... and I think I can handle things on my own with just my sword so... "He would set them on the counter and stare at him." Take it.. It'll be good for you..." He would whisper as he looked down. He felt like he was abandoning his friends and guild.. but he had to do this to set his mind straight.

Klein

-1 Bracers of the Assassin.

Klein had forgotten a few things in his shop so he had returned to get a picture of Cindel that he had professionally done and a few other odds and ends. But his head perked up as he peered through the door and looked at Kiluia. A slight smile was given to the young man as he spoke." Hey there stranger. Been awhile since I last saw you.... "He offered a friendly smile. The only thing that threw him off was those set of red eyes. He furrowed his brows and spoke softly." You don't look the same though.. You okay?" He asked hesitantly. He didn't want to upset Kiluia if it was just a minor question.

I tensed up when he moved me to the ground, I had no idea what was happening. I-I..Thank you...B-but, when you said I went down, w-what do you mean? I said without making eye contact with him. I put my back against the building and hugged my knees to my chest. With a swift motion I moved the piece of my dark blue chopped hair and replied slowly. Sachi.

My eyes blinked open slowly with confusion as I tilted my head upwards. I saw a pair of blue eyes staring at me through blonde hair, it was weird because I didn't know how he got there in the first place. What... I thought, but accidentally said it out loud without filtering my speech. I also noticed that he was holding me, which made my cheeks burn red. Instead of moving, which would have been the right thing to do, I froze. With the exception of my shaking hands I stopped moving at stared at the stranger with wide eyes.

[OOC- The time in this thread will be directly after Kayaba's message]

My eyes widened in shock at the red cape as it disappeared from the sky full of warning signs. I wasn't sure I was comprehending what the man named Akihito Kayaba had just said. He said that I was now no longer able to log out, along with the ten thousand other players, thus trapping me in the world of Sword Art Online. This terrible man also said that if we die in the game...we die in real life...How could this be? Am I really going to die here... I thought with frozen, unblinking eyes at the ground. Suddenly I heard blood curdling screams and cries behind me and felt a pressure against my back. I was pushed to the ground and no one seemed to care because they all trampled over me. Players stepped all over me, running in all directions and causing pandemonium. There was no open time for me to get up so slowly as players ran, I lost all of my will and laid unconscious on the ground.

Footsteps would make way pass the beautiful scenery. Eyes would scan the surrounding area as he made refuge to the trees. Hunger had struck him while on his travel and he flipped through his menu to where the food was located. He made a sandwich appear with all the fixings and dived into its contents. The fresh air and quiet nature seemed to add more atmosphere to the hiatus he was going on. Red hair blew in the wind as he quietly chewed and ate by himself.

He gathered his armor and his sword together and placed them on. This was the beginning of it all for him. The place where he had met various people in a day and the most who had an impact was Cindel. She had left him in a wake of sadness that hit him hard. He thought for an instance that he could continue with it all but he shook his head. Any item he didn't sell, he kept in his inventory if or when he would come back.

A sigh escaped his lips as he started walking down the beaten path of the first floor. A beautiful rise of the day. He had the rest of his life here in SAO to figure out where he was going to be. A smile formed on his face as he remembered the boars that Cindel, Gestein , and himself defeated. Then he saw a mirror image of himself trying to help Hikaru in the rain.

He was fond of his starter crew for this guild. Even his other vice Lucian. Haha. He began whistling an old tune for the ages to hear. He was happy as can be leaving to pursue other things. He didn't want to be in a shop anymore or a guild or any if mattered. He wanted to leave. And leave he shall.

My name is Klein...not ballsdeep69.

I will miss you all.

He would gaze at the female named Lessa and smile brightly at her. He picked up the claymore with one hand and placed it on the counter. Gloves would also be set up top and he nodded." Done." He would take no payment this time. He took a deep breath and opened the door for her and himself. " I'm closing my shop up..but here." He would toss her his hammer of Dawn." I think you can put this to use. " He offered a smile and turned his sign over to closed. He patted the door and remembered when he opened the shop. " See ya around or sometime."

-1 hammer of Dawn and Lessa and her claymore and gloves.

[shop is closed until further notice ]
