Kotori

Kotori gave a smile as she went off with another attempt at killing the lion that threatened the well-being of her shop. By her terms, she simply wouldn't allow it at all and she wouldn't dare let Oikawa have to do it himself because she could handle it on her own. With a light sprint, the girl ended up at the lion's backside and she plunged her dagger deep into the fleshy skin before pulling it out and then making her way back. She had done sufficient damage and Oikawa simply needed to get a critical if the lion was going to die by his hands.

Kotori nodded in agreement and decided to get in a hit that would actually do damage to the lion this time instead of missing like she oh so often did despite her concentration on the battle in front of her. It was a simple task really, but in all these months fighting it seemed not so simple as she would like to think it is. None of this was important, she just needed to shut up and look at the lion and that was what she did. It was quick slash towards neck in attempt to sever the head of the animal although it would be impossible simply because it wasn't coded into the game and if it was and she was mistaken, the health was still in the green so it would prove to be so. "Switch!" she shouted before taking her usual battle stance and looking at Oikawa to watch his attack.

I would love to be able to bet on competitions, it would be sort of the stock market of SAO considering there is no way to actually gamble money, you just earn by doing random things. It would also be fun to have friendly competitions and settle long time rivalry between characters on the site. 

Kotori gave a slight sigh at the realization of having to actually engage battle with the lion, she had been right with her assumptions, but she wished she hadn't been at all. Nonetheless, she would have to go fight the monster in order to continue having Oikawa as her company with intent on it staying that way. That's when Oikawa decided to add in and say "Care to join me beautiful?" She nodded in a slight bout of disbelief with a tinge of rose filling her cheeks as she turned to look at the boy. There he was making feel all weird. Still, before she knew it, her attention turned back to animal. Now she would fight for real this time and she did this by running towards the animal quickly with her dagger point at its face. Her eyes were directed towards the target, although her focus was off which cause her to just barely miss the lion's head. Immediately she muttered a slight curse under her breath before going towards the blonde and standing by his side. It was his turn now and she sure to nod at him before awaiting an attack by both sides.

Kotori found herself quietly roaming the first floor as just an observer. She had long wondered how far players have advanced and leveled since the beginning of the game and even though she had the chance to do so, there was always other things to do besides that. Nothing had really changed. The same amount of people were around the entire floor, they were just idling and talking as if the game was going to beat itself. It made her a bit angry about her circumstances and how weak she was stat-wise, but it was still something to look forward to. That's when she saw it. A girl about the same age as Kotori herself was.. crying? It seemed so and the raven-haired girl was going to approach her, but a boy changed that for her. X. More like the storm itself. Obviously he was going to his typical romeo act that he so loved to use on people and it just wasn't appropriate. Honestly, he should have at least a little bit sympathy for the grieving girl, maybe something bad had happened to her. Instead of doing anything however, the girl watched as more and more people joined the group before noticing Oikawa was part of this. Odd.. It seemed Ariel, the guild leader of the guild Kotori was in appeared as well. She wouldn't dare make a move and that's what the girl did, watch from the sidelines. It wouldn't be hard to be noticed, but she probably wouldn't be considering how different looking she was.

Kotori herself attempting to create Oikawa's order as she woke up that day. It was a simple order really or she thought when she went to her backroom to start cooking up a dessert for her close friend. Simply she started to mash up a bunch of various fruits she had laying around while adding in a bit of gelatin to the mix before putting in a bit of sugar and she had her item. Then she baked it for few minutes before taking it out and looking at her creation. It didn't look like fruit snacks at all, it resembled more of the typical Jell-O that were found in supermarkets. It still seemed to have be a good creation anyway though so she put it on her shelf for any possible buyers.

Her next attempt was easily done as she decided to go with an easy craft and make bread. Still, she wanted to mix up the treat a bit by adding a few ferment grapes in the mix before baking it in her oven. It came out stunning although she couldn't know exactly how it would taste. It looked delicious however so maybe it wasn't a big deal. Finally she tried to end the day with a bang by baking another cake but it seemed it wouldn't be as she messed up her last attempt and it came out ugly. Luckily she was able to salvage the treat for another day.

Hello, I just wanted to say welcome to the site. We're all nice people here and its really easy to get set up on the site. I recommend setting an op so you could meet up with possible friends and other possibilities although don't go fighting until you are a few levels up or don't do so without a few strong players. If you ever want an rp with someone, just PM me and I'll be glad to set one up for the both of us! Bye!

Kotori eyes slanted slightly at the disappearance of the cat, there was something off about the incident itself and she couldn't help but feel suspicious about all of it in general. "That's odd, this is just too weird for me to figure out. Maybe.." It was odd for this to be just a incident confined here, but her answers were truly given when a lion seemed to take its place outside the café. It confirmed her suspicions to be correct and that was just what she needed. "You chose option B, you sly cat. I knew it." she revealed as she looked to turn at the monstrous beast. Obviously Oikawa was going to have questions about her statement, but the animal wasn't going to destroy her shop. They would need to take this fight to the outside and this time she would fight normally. Still, the clues behind the appearance were etchy at best and she would get try to understand if it was the last thing she did.

A slight breeze of cool, crisp air filled the winter wonderland that was floor four. It was a beautiful sight, floor four that is, along with the slight descent of the snowflakes upon the frosty ground that a girl stood on. The girl with raven hair let out a sigh that a frosty breath became visible from. Kotori was quietly leaning against the side of a lone tree covered with white fluff, ignorant of her surrounding. Tiredness. She was feeling that as well as a slight shiver that was working its way to hypothermia although it wouldn't have any bad effects on her because of her circumstances. Feeling the onslaught of exhaustion going through her, the girl slided her way down towards the floor before giving way to her sitting on the snow. It was almost like a blanket although the temperatures differed from how blankets would usually work. Kotori lived for moments like these where she could just enjoy nature for what it was worth and have time to herself just to relax. These places were so far and between, although they were becoming more and more rare all the time. Still, it was lonely but she had been lonely all lot. She could deal with it. Definitely.

Kotori nodded yes towards the boy as she got herself off from the floor itself. She was more interested in what Oikawa had found behind her counter considering she didn't see anything in the backroom. She had come up with a few ideas of what lied there, one in particular being a family of cats which would be highly unlikely, but still possible. It turned out to be something else entirely and it was actually the grey cat was glitched beyond anybody's dream. "Strange, I didn't know bugs like this.. Maybe the cardinal system would delete... unless. Oh god." This wasn't a small glitch or problem because the Cardinal System was too advanced for this to occur so easily. There was  possibilities, one of them that the her and Oikawa were lagging which could be lethal to them or the monsters were glitching all over Aincrad which could cause major problems and death. The first was much more likely, but both were equally as bad. She decided not to mention this to the boy because she didn't want to worry him at all. After all, it could be just a glitch after all.

Kotori found herself dazed a bit as the attack left her unfocused. At first she was dizzy enough to mistake an afterimage of the monster, but instead of taking a minute to heal, she decided to keep her focus back on the Kobold. She couldn't afford to be off kilter as she wasn't here for casual purposes. "Got it, I'll make sure to hit extra hard then." she shouted toward Teayre before letting her dagger guide her to mutant's skin. Her footsteps were light and her speed increased before her blade managed to slash at the dominant arm of the beast. This would stop it from wielding its club so easily and then the red-head would be able to get a few hits in. Her tactics were going smoothly as she had taken barely any damage and she had done sufficient damage towards it as well.

Kotori found herself focusing on catching the stray cat in question. It seemed close, yet so far away from her grasp. It was a really simple task, but nonetheless she failed at it anyway. Dashing towards it as the feeling disappeared under the counter, the girl became airborne for a few seconds before crashing headfirst into the counter itself. An audible yelp arose as she slipped on the slippery flood below before no thing was heard from the area in question. She rubbed her head in pain when she overhear Oikawa talking as if he made a big discovery. There was something or somethings on the flipside of the counter. "What is it?!" she asked while continuing to comfort her wound with a soft touch.

Kotori turned to look at the cat in question and immediately jumped back in shock. Why was there a feline roaming around the cafe in the first place? It was a truly odd sight and she couldn't help question the existence of animal in the backroom. "I d-don't know, it wasn't here this morning!" she answered as she turned to Oikawa. She couldn't think of anything to say so instead she just kept quiet for the rest of the time that the cat stayed inside.

Kotori was surprised to find Oikawa bringing up the topic instead considering she wasn't showing any signs of contempt or anger towards him and wasn't trying to imply it all, not that it was being implied. It was just harmless so she had no reason to worry which she wasn't doing so at all and she could rest well to day. "I get it.. its alright though, I wasn't really worried knowing you and how you are.. Just to see that.." she mumbled the last part to herself as it wasn't important to dwell on what happened. It was behind the two of them and there was much more important stuff to be doing at the moment then that. The blonde seemed to like the set-up of the cafe, although she had no say in how the building was made at all. It was generated after she finished her quest so she couldn't say anything about it.

Kotori's face lit up entirely as she heard the big news that Teayre was implyiing minutes before. It was great, although it was something that her and presumably everyone who knew the couple was something that long time coming. Still, they were getting married something that was much different from just being girlfriend and boyfriend. "That's so wonderful!" She yelled before swimming towards the red-head, jumping out of the water and then glomping her. She was excited for it simply because she never attended any events of that sort which was odd for her type of upbringing and status. "When's the wedding though?" she asked so that she could make sure to bring a bunch of food to the event. For now however, it was only about Teayre having a day for herself since she usually was stressed or not relaxing at all a lot of the time. Drifiting backwards in the water, she thought back to when she first met the two people. "The two lovebirds were going to get together permanently, sooner or later." The gem that Calrex had gotten for the bride-to-be looked beautiful and still was a lovely gift even though it wasn't custom made. It didn't matter since the same amount of effort was put into getting it for Teayre. 

Kotori stood there awkwardly as Oikawa decided to say around the same exact thing that he did the first time they had met each other. It was plausible tha the didn't remember introducing the cub to her, but maybe he was mistaking her for somebody else. Letting the boy finish, she decided to add in a few comments just to inform of a few things. "Uh.. I already know, remember that day?" she said as she walked forward to him. It was a bit odd for him to forget such a vital day, but she couldn't blame him for it because she sometimes forgot important stuff as well.

Kotori let out a quiet yawn as she found herself being awoken by a boy she couldn't quite make out. Rubbing her eyes and letting the light fill her eyes, she found that it was in fact Oikawa standing in front of her ready to purchase a few items at hand. She was still very exhausted so she muttered "Yeah.." as she straightened herself up on the chair she sat on. She took the Col that the boy was putting in front of her face and accepted the order to produce these snacks for him. She would need a bit of lucky and hard work to do this considering it was four perfect items, but she could manage it with the right tools. Hopefully she could do these by the end of the week although she didn't know when it would be finished.

+50 Col

-2 Blueberry Jelly

Elated to see the blonde standing in front of her shop, Kotori waved a hello and welcomed him inside her cafe as she stood ready to close the door behind him. Once he was inside, she would ask him what she really wanted to know although she couldn't do it in a bad manner as she didn't want Oikawa to feel worse or anything of that sorts. It seemed that he was bringing his pet along as she viewed the leopard stand its ground behind the owner with its snow-white fur with black dots contrasting the scenery around them. It was a bit odd that he brought it now out of all times, but she was still enjoyed petting the animal as it was very cute from her perspective.

Kotori gave a light sigh she continued on with her daily craft to perfect her work. She was doing pretty good for someone so new to the business and maybe if she tried hard enough, she would be able to actually do something productive with being a cook and all. There weren't a lot of people searching for food-related items, but her cafe was there just in case anybody did want to purchase something. Starting off with a bad start it would seem as Kotori made herself a failed loaf of bread, it just came out soggy and nasty. She seemed to have better luck with her second craft as she was able to properly make herself a cake and it came out with a few buffs. Quickly adding them, she added the cake to her shelf before going to sleep on her desk.

"T-Thanks.." Kotori mumbled as she looked him directly in the eye before sending him the amount of Col needed to purchase the custom order. She wasn't in particularly mad, but still a bit miffed about what she viewed. She would have to bring it up with him another time, but now she wanted to focus on more important things that. It was particularly happy to know that Oikawa would have her order done soon because she felt lacking in the damage and accuracy department and this would be a great way to achieve that. Leaving the shop, the girl made her merry way to her own cafe so that she could finish up on her own crafts for the day and be done. 

-1200 Col

Kotori smiled slightly as a notification popped up and she clicked on it. He was on his way towards the shop and would be there soon which in SAO wouldn't take long. It was wonderful and they could possibly end up doing something together in the area or around. Maybe they could just talk a bit, but whatever they did, she would be considerably happy. She would need to bring up what she was in his shop the other day, but she didn't suspect anything malelovent at all in the kiss. It could be just a misunderstanding and that was it. That was if he wasn't lying inside. It wasn't a possibility however knowing Oikawa so she though otherwise, in fact she trusted him fully.

Kotori found herself quietly sitting down in the empty place she called her home and cafe. It was a place she had not remembered telling certain people about and made her quite lonely at times, which a lot of the time was preferable to the somewhat busy life that consumed her time in SAO. In her neglect to do so, she found herself also with no business at all which made her feel that she wasn't crafting good items to sell. Nonetheless, she needed to contact a boy about her new establishment even though she knew the building that he loved to visit for a certain pie. Opening up her messenger, the girl manged to type up a PM to Oikawa and waiting silently for his reply to her request. Hopefully he wasn't busy at the moment or she would find herself crafting again.
