Archer

Archer accepted Lyra's friend request and watched as the girl hurried off to the town to buy some bread. Archer decided to have a look at her col intake and was glad to see the trip hadn't been a compete waste. "Well seems like we did end up having a run in with a mob" she said smiling at Rage and Kat "I'll be off too, see you guys around hopefully at the next floor boss fight!" Archer laughed waved at the two and walked off into the forest, a view moments past before she appeared again walking back towards the town "I totally knew the town was this way" she said rubbing the back of her

"Don't worry about it Rage, dating hers a good way to go" Archer said glad Rage was doing what he wanted and not rushing into anything. Archer gave Lyra a clap "Haha good job you just got the approval of the highest level player in the game!" Archer grinned Lyra was definitely front line material she was already skilled with her sword and definitely had a voice to call peoples attention. "Oh that's a good ,point Kat save energy!" she laughed waving her sword around comically. She punched Rage in the shoulder "Lighten up, we'll get out of here eventually don't dwell on it to much" she sa

Archer tensed up as Rage asked about her and Zauis "You really want to ask me about that right now" she asked slashing at the monsters with renewed vigour and casting a sideways glance at Lyra. "Unlike you Rage I found it...difficult to fight and talk at the same time" she said pausing to duck stabbing the monster who's arm had come dangerously close to her head. She turned around "I'm not sure what else there is to say, we just both kinda separated" she said resignedly a pained look on her face "Things got complicated, just like you had your reasons for breaking up with Aria and then g

Archer was busy finishing of another wrap when Koutei challenged Kat to another duel. Archer laughed, seemed he was eager for a rematch. She gave the two a thumbs up as they got ready to battle it out again "Good luck guys!" she yelled wondering who would be the winner of this battle. She took a noisy sip of her lemonade smiling good food always made things better. "Fighto!" she yelled stopping as she got an odd sense of deja-vu. "Urgh hate deja-vu it's so weird" she said pulling a face before turning her attention back to the battle as Kat prepared to strike.

Archer grew increasingly panicked as the monster continued towards her she started to reach for her sword when, she saw the form of Lyra jumping over heard and slashing the monster that could have killed her. Archer dashed towards her sword grabbing it and sighing with relief turning to look at Lyra "That was awesome!" she exclaimed stopping mid sentence to stab a monster that had appeared behind her, turning back to Lyra "Haha, when your one of the best swords women I'm gonna be glad I made friends with you" Archer smiled.

Archer say upright her hand on her sword at exactly the same moment Perri came hireling towards her shrieking. Archer jump up catching the dragon who quickly dove into her top sticking her head out as Archer ran back towards Lyras voice she appearing behind Lyra puffing her sword out and ready to fight, her battle with Kat and the training many of her friends had kindly given her had definetly helped her become a far mlre confident person she sent a grin Lyras way "Wow girl that voice of yours can carry, gotta say I'm jealous" she laughed giving Lura a thumbs up her energy and bright outlook

Archer gave a small smile, "Everything's gotten so serious, it really makes it hard to be bright and happy at times like this" she sighed flicking her hair over her shoulder and turning away from the group "Sorry guys I'm leaving I've had enough of hearing about pkers and people dying" Archer started to walk away from the group, honestly at times like this she didn't care if she was a coward there was nothing she could do to stop the fighting, both Koutei and Kat were right there was nothing justifiable about cold blooded killing and there were no excuses but on the other hand she watched

Archer watch as Koutei and Rage started to argue. She stayed indifferent to the situation until Rage mentioned the five gang members he had killed in front of her. Her eyes widened and she started to shake slightly trying to block the images from her mind, all she could remember of that confrontation was her screaming for them to stop as the 'new' leader of the gang ordered her gang members to attack basically sending them to their deaths. She place her hands over her ears not wanting to here this. "I don't want to kill my own friends" she heard Rage whisper did that mean he might kill them.

Archer sat by Aria's side her eyes wide with worry "Aria please, please go back to your normal self" Archer whispered gently shaking her shoulders. She heard the voice of a newcomer enter, she looked over her shoulder at him wonderig why he was here before turning back to Aria trying to get her to respond. Archer looked suprised as the boy who introduced himself as Ren was pushed her way "Huh a gang" she jumped up flustered unsheathing her sword as she stood infront of Aria and Ren noticing his status as a level 1 player, he's probably just as strong as I am she thought to herself watching

Archer let the freaks comment slide, she knew perfectly well both Zauis and Rage were orange players, it saddened her that something had pushed them both to such measures to kill a person every life was precious even the ones that took others. She glanced at Rage a sad look in her eye she would do what she could to stop deaths in this place but there was no way to stop them all. If she could keep her friends happy and stop them from ever considering committing a double suicide she would be happier. Maybe she could help Rage she turned watching as he lifted up the player who had spoken out, he

Archer rolled over onto her stomach, the grass rustling as she did. She swiped down her HUD her eyes widening as she read the pm from Aria "No way" she whispered jumping up and quickly brushing off her clothes as she checked Rage's where abouts, he was on her friends list so she could find exactly where he was. Archer sprinted towards the diner she needed to talked to Rage now, as she ran she thought she caught a glimpse of Zauis hair as he ran past her she turned her gritted her teeth she would catch up with him later. Archer scooted round the corner and flung open the door to the diner run

Archer laughed as Kat mentioned they ate like pigs "Sorry the foods too good and I'm so hungry" she said finishing off the wrap and sighing as place her hands behind her leaning back watching Koutei and Kat. She raised her eyebrows thoughtfully debating whether she should take her leave now and give the two some time alone or stay, she decided on staying it might get awkward if they started to talk about what previously happened. Archer shrugged taking a bottle of lemonade and sipping it happily as she took in the beautiful scenery around them. "I never knew a virtual world could be so pret

Archer whirled round to look at Kat her eyes all sparkley "Y..you made a picnic for us... Kaaaaattttt" she started to tear up and jumped towards Kat wrapping her arms around her next as she gave her a grateful hug. She quickly sat down on the mat her stomach rumbling, if Afcher had a tail it would be wagging madly right now as she looked excitedly at the food. "It all looks so delicious! Ooh a chicken wrap" she reach for the wrap practically drooling in anticipation "Itadakimasu!" she exclaimed opening her mouth as wide as she could and taking a massive bite of the wrap "It's so delicio

Archer went silent as she realised the whole problem Rage was facing and she had no idea how she could help solve his problem "I'm sorry" she said softly turning to face Lyra as she introduced herself. Archer laughed as the young girl asked if marraige meant death "I sure hope not" she grinned "Oh and I'm Archer" she gave a little wave before squinting at the little girl "Ah I can't take it anymore your just so cute!" she squealed running up and hugging the little girl squishing her cheek against Lyra's "Too cute!" giving her a squeeze. Archer realised what she was doing moments late

Archer watched as Kat ran off after Koutei, she smiled and sheathed her sword if anyone could talk some sense into Koutei it would be her. Archer wandered over the stands and sat down crossing her legs on the seat and leaning back. She figure it would be best to leave them to sort it so she sat and waited humming a nonsense song to herself. Archer slowed her humming as she saw Kat and Koutei appearing, she pretended not to notice the red mark on Koutei face or the dry tears on both of their cheeks "Seems like you sorted everything out" she grinned and stood up walking over to the two "I nev

"Right sorry Kat, didn't mean to lose my cool" she sighed but was glad she'd got that outburst over with she was feeling much better with all that negative energy gone. "Yoshoooh let's go plunder some mobs" she said laughing to herself. She heard Kat and Rage talking and stepped closer so she could hear them "Yeah...I might die soon...it's for real" Rage said hanging his head Archers jaw dropped "WHAAAT are you out of your mind there is no way your dying anytime soon your getting married and if you died who would look after Aria!" she said jabbing a finger into his chest "I'm afraid I'

This time Archer heard Kat jump out of the shadows but it didn't stop her from flinching. Archer slowly turned around to face Kat her eyes dark "WHAT IS IT WITH YOU PEOPLE AND APPEARING OUT OF NOWHERE!" she barked puffing slightly from her outburst she stuck her nose in the air fuming. She gave a quick smile towards the girl Rogue rescued before scowling at the others.

Archer smiled laughing at the girls outburst "Gotta agree with you on that one without any topping the bread tastes like that porridge you forget about and then decided to eat" Archer shuddered at the thought of cold porridge almost forgetting about the girl her attention focused back on the girl shock registering in her eyes before she remember she'd just spoken to the girl. Archer squinted waiting for her thoughts to reorganise themselves. She listened to the girls reason for being on the plains she nodded "Ouch seems like you got some information but haven't really bad anyone show you th

Archer's went all wide and sparkling as he mentioned glittering gems. she'd always had a strange obsession with sparkly things "What you should save those gems for Aria" she said smiling her mouth visible twitching with the effort it too to say that. Archer sighed as Rage looked away not realising he had dashed off until he was already slashing at the boars. Archer gasped seeing the girl standing there about to run over when Rage pointing at her. Archer waved at the girl her expression worried she hoped she wasn't hurt at all, what was she doing on the plains by herself. 'you were on the pla

"You made that sword!?!?" she blurted out surprised, not meaning to sound rude "Thats awesome, wait that was the first thing you made?!?!" she wondered if maybe she could get a sword made for her ask for a favour from Aria, save up some col mabye not some mountains of col. She laughed to herself realising Rage had asked her a question "Thats alright Kouteis already offered and it'd be kind of boring teaching a low level player like me" she tried to decline his offer as politely as possible "but when I rank up some more I'm always up to learning something from my senpai's" . She looked ov

Archer looked intrigued as he mentioned his sword skill, she sighed and decided she should probably stop sulking because both of them had surprised her, actually it was probably just because she wasn't paying attention that she got surprised. Archer waited for him to demonstrate his sword skill wondering what kind of sword skill he had. So his sword was called 'Black Lust' it seemed most swords in Aincrad had cool names when she got enough Col she was definetly going to buy a sword with a cool name she thought smiling as she started imagining what sword she would buy. Rage was about to show is

Archer grinned excitedly "Really, you teach me one of your sword skills yaaay!" her eyes lit up she'd be able to learn a new sword skill and then show off to Zauis she turned around chuckling evilly to herself then remembering Koutei was there and quickly turning back but about to thank him for doing this when Rage stepped out from the darkness, this time Archer practically jumped out of her skin she turned round to glare at Rage "Don't scare people like that!" she yelled flapping her arms at him like a very unimpressed chicken.

I gave a small scream leaping around to see Koutei standing behind me realising that must have been the voice I had heard there was no-one else around. I waited a moment for my heartbeat to slow down I was waaay to easily scared. "Some sword skills" I thought my eyebrows drawing together as I remembered watching Koutei's fight with Kat both of the swords had changed colours several times and they would yell a word that must have been them using their sword skill "So do I have to unlock sword skills or do monsters drop them" I wondered pointing behind me to where the boars previously were a

Archer stood at the entrance to the plains at the present moment she was still in the safe zone of the town and debating whether to take a chance and improve her skills so she could join Zauis to help clear the game or play it safe and wuss out. She shook her head "Come on Archer you can do this, you can fight well enough and your stocked up on healing crystals" she said working herself up to it. "Okay lets do this!" she said pulling out her sword and stepping out of the safe zone running out onto the plains a smile full of adrenalen spread across her face as she spied a couple of boars ob

Archer had barely recovered from Kats first attack when she swung again this time she ducked noticing the blade has changed colour 'I really need to get myself some sword skills' she thought springing to the side of Kat and jabbing forward with her own blade this time aiming for her shoulder, Kat's face was so serious is was kind of scary, but Archer noticed the occaisonal smile and did her best to smile back in between fumbling with her sword and trying to dodge Kat's attacks.
