I watched the exchange between the three with intrest and saw the girl light up at the mention of a tavern. "Tell you what guys lets go hang out in a tavern for a while i don't feel like fighting much today, i hear there's a pretty good place on the sixth floor but i have no idea where since i havnt been up that high yet." I suggested i really could do with a day off for a change

I smiled at the girl who had just arrived and was speaking to arek I had to admit she was kinda cute she had this look about her that despite her innocent looks she had strong spirit and I was impressed. ''Names tom and this is yuji'' I said pointing to yuji ''me and arek go way back to when I first joined the game and yuji I met yesterday and have been helping him out and hes been helping me'' I said. ''And who might you be my fair maiden'' said while bowing to her.

"Yea it was ... interesting to say the least but we all became friends in the end and helped each other out it was fun" i grinned it was where i finally came to learn not everyone in this game is bad some will go out of thier way to keep u safe just like i would

I grinned at yuji and turned to arekkusu "hi arek its been a while huh?" I said to him "last time i saw you was during that dungeon raid with kiru and the others" i said arekkusu was an aquantence of mine who had helped me a few times in the past and i had the utmost respect for him

''Pancakes'' I said I hadn't really eaten in this game properly yet and I really really wanted to try them out. I turned to the others looking at them expectantly this will surely be fun and a nice way to prepare for the dungeon we can discuss strategys and formulate path through the dungeon. This way we will be well prepared and have nothing to worry about. I smiled to myself I really am getting used to living in this game arnt I?

I followed azureth ready to take on the sentinel with my new trench coat and my new blade I was ready to take on the world ''lets do this guys'' I said grabbing my sword its time to kill some sentinals I sent everyone a party request so we could do the switch manouvers and assign roles it will definatly be fun this was going to be our first dungeon raid and I was excited ... very excited. A mob as hard as this will surely be a challenge but as a guild we can overcome anything!

''That's the gist of it yea knight will hit hard we will hit fast make sense?'' I said ''also we protect people to make them happy and keep them safe so we don't lose as many players as we would if no one helped each other out''

I laughed as drat didn't understand what we were here for "in battle we will be focusing on pure dps ... Hit hard and get out the way basically that's why we will be using mainly one handed weapons and lighter armours with evasion enhancments or damage mitigation incase we do get hit" i told him

I smiled at his compliment and that he had realised that we are in this together and the best option would be to make friends. ''Like I said man we have to beat this game together all of us ... we are in this together and im glad I helped you out today ive enjoyed the company'' I told him He proceeded to tell me many stories about his time here in SAO and I myself told him my own stories and before long it was night ''I myself find it hard to trust people but not everyone here is a bad person risk equals reward you know?'' I said as we left my shop for the day

yuji showed his trusted blade and it gleamed like it had been newly forged and I grinned ''looking good man see what did I tell you that's one fine looking sword and if u forged a katana into a longsword then well you really have a lot of skill to be able to create custom weaponry like that. maybe one day ill be able to create weapons like that'' I said to him. that blade really was a work of art and I hoped that I showed him how you can easily turn ure day around around by just taking a few minutes to work on something you have passion about

I thought about the possibilities and with 5 of us it might be possible so I decided to make a wild suggestion. ''what about the dungeon on floor one we've been in SAO for awhile now and still haven't even entered the first floor dungeon'' I suggested sure it was the first floor but still it would be great to see how well we can handle a dungeon

''Ah sorry azu ive used up my materials for today attempting to make the shield im not having much luck im afraid'' I told him besides azu has being getting better at combat so he should be fine. ''Wait what about a dungeon raid'' I suggested it would be a great way to test our team work and perhaps get some nice loot meaning we can get some much better equipment

"Welcome aboard" i said smiling "its great to know I've made an impression" now crozeph was here the hq was beginning to feel more like home. "Its not much ... but its home" i said thinking the place. could use a little in the way of decoration like maybe parhaps some tapestrys or picctures but for now it will do

I laughed rejecting the trade request he sent me. "Ah don't you worry about it man everyone has their off days besides you got to practice your craft right?" I said. Sure being down can effect the way things turn out which is why its always a good idea to try and get back into things. I tossed him the blade polish and the rag i was using and examined the blade of golems bane. "Give ure weapon a good polishing man you don't need to create stuff to make a work of art" i said showing him my shining red blade.

A new arrival walked in and he seemed lost. For a second I couldn't tell who it was then I saw their face and recognized them straight away. ''Crozeph?'' I asked ''Dang its been a while man how have been your certainly in the right place my friend thanks for your help that one time'' I said I wondered if crozeph was the guy who was going to be joining my squad it would be great to have him around

''how about you grab one of mine?'' I offered ''I have 5 left and I really don't like odd numbers anyway so grab one of whatever you need'' I really did hate odd numbers since I could only craft twice a day so far meaning ill have one left over in a few days meaning I will have to go out and farm after only one item and the worst part is I would be losing business while I was out farming. If a commission came in and I was fresh out of mats id definitely be stuck.

I lead the way to my shop back on the first floor 'The Bladed Forge' and opened the door. "Not much but its home" i said with a smile. It was only a small place since i had only recently started out as a smith but i had already had a good experience with my first attempt at a weapon my Golems Bane sat neatly on the weapon rack with my Starter sword. I like to display my own weapons on the wall it just givess the place a more authentic look. I took my new sword down from the wall and stoked the forge ready for use. While it was warming up i placed the sword on my work bench and began polishing

I grinned at azureth and began my explaination "The tempest brotherhood we will a select group of virtuous players who's sole purpose is to help everyone and anyone regardless of who they are everyone down here has a part to play to clearing the game the main thing that we aim to accomplish is keeping everyone new and old safe and aiding them on thier way to front lines. On the matter of the front lines we will be a group of agile and well versed in teamwork to provide distractions and deliver smeo hefty dps to the bosses" i finished with a huge grin.

''see azu'' I pointed out ''we will have plenty of time to kill stuff later my friend so kitty whats you plan for your squad then do have any ideas on how you want to rune things'' I asked her might as well start off with finding out what kitty had in mind for her squad once it was formed after all she was the new blood in the group and if anything I just wanted to find out more about her besides her name.

I looked at azu and laughed ''Always with the fighting man why don't we just relax tonight and discuss the guild plans for starters we havnt even decided how we are going to start to recruit people'' I said ''Not only that Kitty is the only one actually wearing our guild symbol have you noticed that?'' I said ''Here have some mead and lets discuss a few things before we get to the dirty business'' I said passing him a bottle and passing one to kitty and drat too I looked at drat and noticed him sitting staring at the wall again ''He lags at the worst possible time sometimes'' I said laughing o

''And im tom'' I chipped in this girl was a welcome arrival to the guild I must admit it was nice to have a fresh face around. ''So what's your story'' I asked her. I wanted to know a bit about her and how she came to join our guild. There seemed like there was something deep to this girl and I was intrigued to know more about her. I glaced at azu and decided I really needed to find out why he kept spacing out so much he even does during combat sometimes but I have to admit hes getting better that's for sure. I turned to face kitty and smiled to her waiting for her reply.
