ErinVyce

"Like I said earlier, I was to relax that is why all this crap happened to me in the first place ... I intend to get stronger by any means necessary. "Maybe later on if I start taking missions once again I will call you for assistance? I know there is no way I can take on half of the bosses required to level up. I'm sorta useless like that ..." She sighed peering back down and shivering as she was also quite cold, "H-hey can I have a hot cocoa to?" She shouted to the barkeep now realizing that her times of moping about needed to come to and end.

Vyce shook her head and laughed, "You're probably right about that, Aincrad had how many people when it started out hundreds of thousands all about japan and portion of the world that could afford it?" She then looked over to the red bearded leader before giving him a smile. As he questioned her plans she merely began to laugh not really certain herself, "I'm just gonna wing it I guess and who said I can't become a one girl police force all I need is a bit of inspiration and insanity to be willing to take on the monsters that stalk among us." She leaned down looking at the pixels that constructed the grass, "Don't worry Mack, I'm a big girl and will find my way in the world. I just hope that when we next meet I can give you  the culprits."

As she stopped before his bench she noticed as he calmed down a bit from his current state, she thought that he was upset before but now it seemed introductions were in order. As he scooted over on the bench she eyed him and nodded walking over and sitting beside him. "Hi, my name is Erinvyce, as for what's up I suppose nothing really. Just trying to cope with recent events, you know about what happened at the front lines?" She sighed now peering down as she reopened partially healed wounds.

She sniffled and looked up to Ariel nodding her head in understanding to the anecdote she was paraphrasing of sorts in her own new fashion. "I-I don't know what to say?" The offer of being allowed to stay here in the shop whenever she needed to. At this rate she sensed something going terrible coming in her life, what it was she couldn't have thought. The Erin's kimono sleeve having wiped away her own tears fully and leaving her sniffling and nodding as she now wrapped her arms about her photographer and smiling. "Thank you Ariel."

Vyce's eyes stayed locked on her as her fist connected with the whit maned woman now wearing a horrid smirk upon her features. Even in success of her impact she was insulted by the slight tick drop in her health bar. "Damn it, damn it damn it!" She shouted into the night sky as her arms battered against the woman's chest not even threatening as she merely let her limbs fall to her side and collapse into opal her head leaning into her chest as she tried to reconcile with her own thoughts. "I-I will be a threat just you wait ... o-one day." A gurgling erupted from her stomach now as her head continued to ache and the booze in her stomach not agreeing with 

The night sky was starless, but the flakes dancing down through the sky kept packing down and landing upon the two females now as she winced and looked up. "I-I ... "Hearing her words about how the Cardinal system justified the kill made her mind chip into a few different pieced as if attempting to contemplate each different path that could have been taken before the set timeline was created by her actions.

Hearing her options she nodded rather disgraced as she would have had to take the better part of the night to chop her down, Her knees giving way as she knelt before opal her resolve for vengeance  quelled by her own weakness. "I-I can't kill you ..." She admitted now as she cried softly.

She hung her head after hearing the remark of her drunken stupor she had forced herself into now looking back up to opal as her own fighting spirit was intoxicated. "I-I ... you didn't kill her," She frowned and looked down realizing this woman was innocent of the blood she so desperately wanted her to have spilled. "You just killed the Beserker ..." She grumbled now hanging her head before looking back up ... "I just have one thing to say then." She breathed a bit heavily now peering up to the woman, even if I wanted to kill you it wouldn't do me any good."

As she stood there in the snow she then raised her fist and through a jab forward toward the woman who had deceived her all this time, she put all her focus into it and winced as she closed her eyes merely hoping that she would land a hit before she was probably humiliated or worse killed. "I don't care if I'm weak, I'll get stronger not because of anything but to stop this random crap! You want to rip something away from this world then come on me next or you to scared to!" 

OVyce hadn't even thought about her own tab, the booze beginning to do a number upon her bowels. Vyce was still steaming from the alcohol inside of her causing her system to attempt to burn through sheer quantity she practically had inhaled. "N-no it won't, it just will maybe feel better after a few," she gagged and now strolled forward as she tried to hold down her urge to puke. Each step into the snowy wasteland taking her father and father out of the city till she now realized the safezone was gone. "Mal?" She grumbled now plopping down in the snow and trying to hold herself there as she winced her eyes to watch her walking buddy take a few steps in front of her.

As she walked away she began to grow quite confused till she now spoke up, the words she spoke causing her mind to causing the blurriness to leave as she looked at the tattoo on her arm. "Y-you bitc-," She stumbled into the snow and laying there with her face pressed into it pulling up as she had white flakes. "I-I you  ... " She murmurred incoherently for a bit now closing her eyes and peering back up to her "I-I hate you! Manta disappeared .... a-and it's because ... w-well Oikawa killed Zel, but she is gone now did you kill her?" She sniffled before trying to peel herself out of the snow. Her first attempt a flop as she collapsed again this time on her side groaning. "Did you kill manta too?" She shouted now as she stood up on her own to feet approaching her slowly, "J-just tell me d-did she get killed too?" Her eyes streaming tears as she completely forgot the first message she wanted to ask her as it would depend on this answer. Stumbling inch by inch till she was now holding her ground before her.

The brunette blinked and looked back to Malice and nodded, "You're right, that would be a bad remark ... maybe I could ask her to jump of Aincrad ... don't think she would do that would she?" She whined now curling up finishing off her drink a mistake as she could hardly hold the other glasses she took let alone another. Her own eyes now closing as the lights were starting to cause that insatiable burning sensation that was sustained by a headache. "Ogh I feel a bit sick."

SHe said now trying to stand up from her seat intention of at least sliding out into the cold air and get rid of the burning sensation by making an impression of her face in the snow. "You aren't pulling my leg ..." She slurred now propping herself up against the table and staggering about it it. "Because I have had cute girls  lie to me about things, don't think my poor heart could take it from more?" slowly her fingers massaged her temples before now latching onto Malice, her own arm hooked like a bride through her fathers arm prepared to bed lead down the isle. "G-go on lead the way ... j-just don't move to fast I need to keep my eyes straight."

Her plush lips red like strawberries glistened like  ripe apple as the saliva coated them, her own hand preparing to reach up and make herself presentable. Instead though the woman standing beside took the pleasure in cleaning her up, her finger gliding along as if trying to wipe away lipstick. No one touched her lips except for the kisses she had received in game as she now took a nervous swallow of some of the saliva and alcohol she managed to cough up. "They probably won't do anything, but certainly someone will come along to seek justice right?" She frowned wondering if she would eventually have to create her own guild that would seek this justice.  Her inspiration for slaying her friends killers nearly gone, "If she was sitting in front of me?"

She stopped mulling the though over as she let her mind race through the options that had been viable to her before these little talks and trying to logic something out. "I-I ... guess I just would want to ask her why she would do it ..." She frowned now shaking her head to the other remarks of having a place to stay. "I always slept in the same inn as Manta ... recently I have been staying here conscious or unconscious ... the latter preferably." Her hand pushing the glass back up to her mouth as she took another deep swallow wincing at the taste. She never understood why alcohol tasted so bad.

She shook her head no to the idea of having a relaxant, "I don't want to relax ... that was what I use to do ... we would just calm down beside one another while we rested upon the b-" She stopped and shook her head as she realized her mind was returning to a few thoughts that weren't appropriate to discuss with a stranger. "I-I don't know what I want to do now, I can't kill them b-but I want them to know what they did is wrong. I don't like the idea of hiring assassins they would just be as bad as the people I want dead and more heartless. I-I just wish ... I  wish." 

She mewled now waiting for another drink to find itself onto the table. Thankfully she took the initiative to grab more drinks. "I'm just pathetic and I can't make these decisions ... this is why guilds are around right they said they would find the justice for the two who have fallen. Her hand now slipping over the drink and taking a sip and making a puckered expression as she wasn't prepared for it. Bad decision, she now began hack up a bit till drool was now sliding down her face.

Vyce groaned now as she flopped back into her chair now taking it easy, she always believed that others were more level headed then herself and now she was tipsy at worse. "Y-yeah they probably do have family," her moral for revenge simmering down at the thought of this not having been a factor in her previous path of pixels she wanted to cut through SAO. She grumbled and hung her head now a she realized this and cried, "S-so just let their deaths be in vein ... is that what you are telling me." 

"Damn it," she whispered softly to herself before peering over to Mallice. "I-I can't become a monster," she said now looking back to her companion. "B-but I want to stop the pkers,"she winced. As she called the bartender back with more drinks Vyce sighed and pulled herself up looking at the cigarette she was smoking. "What do those things even taste like?" She said wondering how tobacco worked in a video game.

She groaned angrily thinking through these morals, "What the heck should I do!" The girl rumbled now gently bonking her head into the table before finding a terrible headache from this. "Ow ..."

As she spoke Vyce grimaced uncomfortably as her flaws were so rudely pointed out by the girl. Her own plan ripped to peaces in her mind as she agreed with every point, "Yes I want to make them pay, but hurting innocents ... I won't ever do that. I will become a monster to kill them, but I won't be a monster to hurt those they care about ... unless they are pker's which case their souls are forfeit. As she blew out another puff of smoke from her cigarette she realized she was approaching and stared up toward her face. In another time she might have fallen for her charm in a heart beat, but this time her heart had been stolen by another someone who was long gone and unable to return it.

"I will not become a complete monster!" She shouted now staggering over as she tried to stand up and stare her down eye to eye. Her attempt futile though as she ended up collapsing onto the table and whine. "Ow, more drinks would be better then talking on this subject." She frowned her entire body shriveling up and sliding along the table till she was seated once more opposite of her. "I'm Vyce ..." She said returning her name in trade.

Vyce buried her face back into her arms, missing the wicked Cheshire grin that would have made even the write of Alice and Wonderland proud. Her own thoughts dribbling down the rabbit hole so to speak, or maybe that was just the booze she spilled earlier on her lower outfit and shoes that she felt. She heard the cough that seemed to have been mixed with the gastric smell of a belch, reeking of booze. Vyce joined the cough with her own belch, extraordinarily unladylike like, something her father would have been appalled to see. A strand of drool slipping from her mouth now as she sat back up.

"I don't care about the reasons so much of did they realize whom they were effecting when they took those actions ... normal people like," she groaned and didn't want to admit she was a victim. "Like that guy over there!" She shouted angrily pointing at the barkeep who. He is missing his dear beloved Beserker I bet." In all honesty she never knew the other person all that well besides the fact that he was strong. Anyway I'm kill them ... and other people who think killing people is ok." She slurred before regaining her own composure. "And when all is dead and done ... I'm going to join them in that electron after life or whatever."  As she released another stream of smoke Vyce peered up wondering what type of drink she had let alone what type of person would blow smoke so literally during someone drunken heart made speech.

"I will get my revenge for them ... believe me I will kill Oikawa when I see him I don't care ... or just die either way is fine by me. Same goes with that opal witch," she frowned. She laid her head back down against the table and merely closed her eyes to shed more tears. The girl's head now laid forehead flat against it as she sniffled, "Just show me to them now ... I want to end this misery one way or another."

Vyce's glazed eyes now peered toward the woman before her, she was quite gorgeous but nothing was able to compare with the girl she first fell in love with. This train of thought derailing once more as she was not as optimistic as the woman before her trying to put a positive spin upon death in this realm. As she spun this into some sorta of heaven beyond video games she laughed. "That or they are stuck in the perpetual state of limbo where their essence is traveling along the electrons in the computer systems that this game is set up on." 

She looked back up and then frowned, "But what can I say I see my glasses as completely empty and need a refill. And if that rumor is the truth why don't you start and I will leave as soon as you unplug me from my hospital bed in the real world?" She asked feeling relatively moody even for her own standards. "I'm sorry I just am not high in hopes at this moment that this world has anything good coming from it."  She groaned now holding her stomach and listening as she was offered the next round for telling her own sob story.

"I'll say it now the story isn't that impressive." Her own mind flashing back at the time where she started off in the starting city where she stooped in misery till she found the man who both ruined her and brought her fourth in this world. "You know the hero of Aincrad, well he and one of his buddies apparently were slain by Oikawa and a girl named Opal. I recently found out about those names from an acquaintance recently who came back from the boss fight. I never got to apologize to him for everything that I put him through." Hesitating now as she realized how ashamed of herself she really was. "But then another friend disappeared ... without a trace her name was Manta. A front liner who I adored and vanished shortly after all this happened. Worse case she ran away and died to the same Pker's best case .. she happily leaped off of Aincrad without me."

As she joked about her frustration she whined and held her hand out waiting for the next glass. "See, not that interesting was it?"  

Erinvyce sat there among the other patrons of a nearby tavern, her eyes partially glazed over as she was hunched over a table off to the side. Night or day didn't really matter to her, this was a game and she couldn't be certain what was real or fake at this exact point in time. Just a few days ago two people she knew disappeared from her friend's list assumed dead as she had plenty of people speak with her on that subject recently. One confirmed by watching the scenario that took place in the boss fight the other missing in action. Since that loss she found herself sitting in this same seat day in and day out not certain of how to plot her revenge or even stand up from the seat she was now strattling. The wooden chair creaking upon the wooden floors as her rear pressed firmly taking a perky shape as she now realized she had been laying there and staring at the empty glass. As she sat up her stomach gargled, a complaint that her bowels were upset by the sheer quantity of booze she had been accumulating in her system since she arrived. 

It had been a while since she had raised her hand, a sign to the barkeep whom had been catering to her for the last thirty minutes. Upon the table was a small variety of glasses ranging from shots to quarts of beer. Finally peeling herself up from the table she stopped and looked around the room. Everything was a bit hazy, but not spinning which was point she was trying to hit, "Crud, not enough." Her body lurched and grumbled unpleasantly forcing her to crane over the table. Her elbows acting as her supports. The sound of wood on wood grinded for a short period as she now winced and looked up to see a rather shocking female sit opposite of her. A finger sliding up to her nose and pushing the glasses back into place.

"Why don't you just toss me out on my butt now," She sniffled and laid her head back down as she had a few tears still visible. "Heck just toss me off Aincrad isntead," She sighed obviously in a bad place as she began to mumble. "They're all gone. They're dead now might as well join them." She sniffled before looking back. "Or you can just scoot scoot." 

Erin was now strolling through the snow her armor dequipped and wearing a normal outfit as she sighs looking down from everything going crazy. Shuffling her feat through the snow as she now looked up in her new brown shirt and wearing a nice warm cloak. "The world won't be the same, Zelrius I'm sorry for everything I did to you." A tear streaming down her cheek, her finger pushing the glasses on her face back into place to hide the streaks about her eyes. She then stopped and looked around the snowy village as she realized she had come back to the fourth floor. It just seemed like the place to go when she was depressed frigid and beautiful all at the same time, a voice angry being heard from the man on the bench. "Troubles too huh?"

She began to play with the empty mug as she now slouched back over resting her head in her arms as she was now practically resting her head and arms upon the table. "I guess I had plans, but most of them have since been ruined with the loss of friends. I don't know maybe I should head on back out and find myself some sorta beach resort to take a break in what do you think?" She softly spoke now looking up from behind the mug toward Macradon. "Although I basically started off this adventure by merely taking a breather and watching as other grow up around me, so yeah I probably should head out and do some missions."

As she finished her emotional rant she looked back to her companion and sighed, "That was a bit over dramatic of me wasn't it." She smiled and reclined in her chair now as she closed her eyes contemplating how to apologize. Before she did though she happily was questioned about her name. "You can call me Vyce, although my username is ErinVyce. Most people know me by both but I don't see myself as an Erin any more." She rested her against the back of the chair before now looking over to the man. "Pleasure to meet you Macradon."

"I understand," she sighed rather exasperated by this news the hunt begun regardless of time and place. Subconsciously she would always be on the look out now for orange players whom no doubt did wrong to others whom were victims of these acts. "I promise you that much." As he continued his retort she couldn't help but smirk and let out a soft chuckle as she now began to picture him prancing about on his tippy toes while in a tutu. "Sorry, that image is just two amusing. I agree completely that you shouldn't ever try to perform ballet but you would be surprised how you can train your voice for singing."

As he spoke her grimace grew more unpleasant like one jabbed their elbow into her side and wrenched it back and forth as the obvious weakness she associated with. "I-I know I'm probably and idiot and if I ever saw them I wouldn't hesitate to do something stupid. But I don't intend to die till the day I can face them as equals on the battle field." She frowned and peered back up to the behemoth of a man. "You are certain they would kill me right? Probably out leveled and skilled by four times? Either way it is my mistake to make ... at least I could die trying." She gloomily spoke and hung her head half wanting to run into them before her training regime could take place. 

She winced hearing this realizing he knew she was by far weaker then she ever intended to admit, "I-I'm still level 9 and I'm trying to become as tanky as possible." She frowned and peered down to her feet. As she felt like Mack was rather upset about the armor still she sighed, "I don't wish to speak ill of the dead but this was a gift from Zelrius. Something I intend to hold onto even in his death. That's the least I can do for everything he did for me." Her voice growing stronger as she looked back up and nodded her head. "I do intend to hunt them down even if it ends up being by myself. I'm sorry, but I don't know if I can accept that offer quite yet." Vyce didn't enjoy the thought of guilds, they tied you down when it came to the orders you had to follow and she had a job still with Ariel and training she could take up with her as an apprentice. "Can I have a rain check on that offer, till after I have mulled it over completely?"

She watched his hand now flying through the air as he proved that he didn't mind all that much about her mistakes. "N-no it really isn't the fault of the tailor. Besides, the person who ordered it is indisposed at the moment." She sighed now peering over toward the giant. "I don't wish to disclose that information as I appreciate their friendship and business." She looked back to him before shaking her head, "I don't know if I should join a guild or not is the issue. I am still new about all of this, but I don't think I am capable of a commitment such as this?"

She looked at his cloak and took it a bit grateful, "I have have no need for this, I-I will just change into something else." A blush apparent on his face as she was flustered. That outfit had gotten quite comfortable despite it's looks but she had to admit it did look bad. Looking down to her armor Erin could only nod as she now activated her menu and traversed it with her fingers till she had replaced the once crude lamb armor with humble brown cloth that appeared much more befitting her intent. "S-sorry about that, I don't have much armor to choose from sadly that isn't ... that." She sighed looking down embarrassed now as she wrapped her arms around her body a bit ashamed to have not changed to something more dignified while talking to him. "Sorry I sometimes forget I'm wearing that stuff."

Erin blinked a bit startled from his harsh tone and wincing from the way he spoke, "Umm sorry I just thought." She had to admit, she didn't expect to meet anyone who didn't enjoy being addressed highly this was all a good sign of leadership who knew how to treat his men. "Sorry I just thought most people felt entitled." A smile that was long overdue resurfaced upon her face, "I didn't realize there still were people who were unaffected by their pride and level in this game." They were closer then she expected but she wasn't overly phased despite his well bit figure. "I know I need to get stronger, but I will pursue them to every inch of the law that we can muster in this world." She sighed and casting her gaze upward now to the giant as she tried to pull herself up a bit as he gripped her wrist. "I never have affiliated with a guild, I-I don't think I really ever intended to but I need training ... and closure." She whispered softly.

The dirty blond haired girl let her head hang again before releasing him and lingering backward as she realized her actions were a bit rude if not intense for someone who didn't know her past. "I'm sorry about ... grabbing your cloak like that I just am a bit high strung after hearing remarks upon pkers and the possible death of my girlfriend is still on the mind." Her hands rose up, the sleeves of her new shirt now wiping her cheeks and her hands her eyes as she looked back up to Mack. "May I make request for aid sir." She said solemnly now hoping that he would assist her in her future endeavors. "Will you help me get justice for those whom have fallen." Her entire body now bowing down to him as to show him and his ranking respect.
