Phillia

Phillia didn't even raise an eyebrow when he said that, she just looked at him as if he were normal. "Same for me, guess we're alike. I don't know what it is, but it's probably built in with our personalities." She continue to walk for a while until she told Takneil something. "Now it's your turn, truth or dare?" The boredom was real on this trip, so she'd do almost anything to drive it away, but extreme dares were something she wouldn't do.

Phillia walked into the tavern doing what she usually does, which is kick the door. A loud bang came from the door and echoed across the tavern as she walked in. She sat down at a table and wondered about the tea, "May I have some?" She asked. Sinful seemed like a cheerful guy, but normally there's always a catch to those kind of people, like Nixon. "What is it made out of? Is there a secret ingredient in it that makes it taste good?" Phillia was curious, but eventually her curiosity would die as she would realize it was just normal tea, but with a very peculiar taste.

Phillia took a look at the chaotic town, on one end we have a seductress, and on the other we have an overly emotional KPop Idol boy. What surprised her was how the one the he chased disappeared, death wasn't allowed in a safezone but he died. No, he didn't die, he obviously didn't jump off the floating castle. That didn't matter now, it wasn't her problem and she'd keep everything she knew hidden from them. 'Why do so many people have to die on this god damn floor? Can't I just have one deathless day around here?' She thought.

"Truth or dare? I love that game! Takneil, I dare you to tell me your deepest... darkest... secret... The one that you won't even tell your mother about." Phillia got back into her usual old self, cheerful, and a bit of a troll. The journey would be a long one, and having some fun would make it go by faster. "C'mon Takneil, I promise I'll keep it a secret." She smiled and poked him in the face, "It won't be so bad, just get the weight off your shoulders." A storm was inside Phillia's mind, she would continue this madness until they arrived at the spot.

Phillia wondered how the people she knew in the real world were doing, she missed them. They were probably crying their eyes out right now, wondering if Phillia was about to die. "God damnit! I bet that none of my friends even visited me!" She was angry, how could they! After all their years of friendship they just ditch her in SAO like that without even visiting her hospital room? A harsh scolding is due to them once the game is beat. She stopped thinking about that and looked for materials finding a clump of dirt, how useless.

"Right, so the wasp queen should have about fifty health and no mitigation... That's just screaming for an easy kill." Phillia pulled out a map in one of her pockets, eying it up and down. "The miniboss is south from here, but I'm not very familiar with this floor. You should lead the way." She handed him the map and awaited his response. Her usual expression would be anger, but now it was just nothingness.

Phillia glared at Sinful, his statement was like mocking her. She then turned over to Nixon and spoke, "I don't know which question you want me to answer, so I'll answer all of them. I came here because I witnessed those murders, my life has gone to hell ever since I played this game, and I'm up for a quest to level up, preferably Avalanche." Phillia sighed, this was a sign of stress and shouldn't be taken lightly. "Glad to see you again Nixon, been a really... really... long time."

The pace of this game was quite slow, after all this time the front liners were only on the fourteenth floor. Did Kayaba Akihiko really want them to beat floor one hundred? That was nearly impossible, there'd be too many deaths before SAO was won. But that was the point, he was aiming to cause as much death as possible before the game ended. "Snap out of it Phillia... It's possible." She was absorbed in SAO to the point where she even forgot her own name. Phillia decided to stop sulking and look for materials, she found nothing along the way.

"Something I wanted? I guess a bit of company, maybe someone to help me gather materials." Phillia was bored out of her mind so she just gave away her plans for the day, gathering materials. However, she didn't quite like this lady, she hurt others without consideration of who they were but Phillia would hide her dislike for the moment. "It's not like we have anything better to do anyways, unless you've got other plans." The field was probably a good place to search for materials, that way Furia couldn't hide from her if she ran away.

"So you're here." Phillia uncrossed her arms and examined him, especially around the head area. "Takneil... You don't look as scary as other people say you are." In fact, Takneil looked completely harmless to Phillia, he reminded her of a creepy friend she had in middle school that'd always try to steal her lunch. "Alright, let's get this show on the road, we'll be fighting a big wasp, you'll be tanking all the hits since you have more mitigation than me. Are you ready?" She stared into his eyes with curiosity, he could kill her and she wouldn't be able to do a thing if she tried, but Phillia was willing to take the risk.

"My mother? H-Hey! Don't tell me what to do!" Phillia was still enraged, her speech patterns and body language would suggest it. "Why the hell do you care anyways? It's not like you care about my ass anyways!" The bluenette looked at Furia up and down, she was able to tell this was one of 'those' kind of girls judging by her speech pasterns. The eccentric kind, or she could be wrong. "You're one for manners right? If you are, then leave me be and tend to yourself." Phillia's aura was quite intimidating even though she was a shorty, of course if you called her that you'd be on the floor facefirst.

Phillia recenly accepted the quest <<Long Live The Queen>> deciding to do it with a second player who beared he name of Takneil. She was waiting on the side of a building with her arms crossed, checking momentarily to see if he was anywhere in sight. "Damnit, I hate it when they're late." The sun had already set and the sky was a midnight blue color, the only visible light being provided by the moon. It'd be creepy if a hooded figure just popped out from the streets and slowly walked toward Phillia... How creepy. The thought of it made Phillia get excited, it'd be like one of those batman movies, except you don't know if the creepy guy is good or bad. "Where the hell is he?!"

The day was anew, birds chirped and the sun had risen. For Phillia, this was like another Monday, you had to wake up and then go to school, but this wasn't a Monday, it was a Friday. "Great... Another morning means another day of gathering materials again." Reluctantly, she got up from her bed and left the tavern room looking around in the building. There were many low leveled players there, it would appear that Phillia was the strongest player within the building. Phillia checked her HUD and saw she was running low on materials and shouted. "Damnit! I hate this stupid grinding game! Why couldn't it be more action packed like everyone said it was going to be!" Her fist came raining down onto the table next to her and made a long bang. "God damnit!"

This reminded her of her early days in SAO, looking for materials or fighting groups of monsters. She couldn't do that anymore since she was level nine now. "Time flies by quickly, the next minute you see three dead players." Phillia reflected on what happened the other day, she just couldn't forget it. Watching three people die in front of you, although it's not really traumatizing, it's a thing to remember, a reminder of how Sword Art Online was not just a game. Phillia was going to survive no matter what, the only thing she wouldn't do was take an innocent life.

Taking this quest with Takneil

"Are there any exploits in this game that I can abuse?" Phillia kept wondering about how the game worked, at the time nobody knew about the cardinal system, it was all just a mystery to her. That's why she had the sudden desire to learn, to survive. She had people who cared for her in the real world, she couldn't die, not yet anyways. 'Wonder how everybody else is doing, the death toll here didn't rise that much.' Her mind was processing multiple subjects at once until her brain just decided to relax. "Right, I'm not supposed to let my guard down." The day was still anew and a boar could pop up from anywhere, might as well search for materials.

I'll RP with you, 'Old pal'

This game takes the humanity out of you, that's all it was. Just a cruel game that some asshole decided to create, did he even know how many lives he's destroyed? Every single death in this game meant a devastated family in the real world, this was no game, this was a mass execution. "How long do I have to wait until we all die?" Phillia thought this game to be beatable, but very difficult. There weren't enough players on the frontlines, a majority of them lived on the first floor and had the best time of their lives not having to deal with the hard to kill mobs. Of course, Phillia was a bit like that as well, but she was willing to fight on the frontlines, risking her life just to get back to the real world.

Phillia spotted Hydra picking up his spear and walking, she thought she knew who he was so she ran up to him. "Hey, you were the guy with Nixon right?" Her curiosity couldn't be held back, this guy had something to do with Nixon. "And if you are, could you tell me about how he's doing? I haven't caught up with my friends lately." She sounded truthful, and her body language suggested the same thing. Phillia was the type of no-nonsense girl, but when she was goofing off, it meant that you should do the exact same thing.

Phillia took a stroll around the town until she spotted Nixon and Hydra, there was also another guy she didn't know so she came up to them and spoke to Nixon. "It's been a long time, right Nixon?" She noticed Nixon's gear was better, and so was hers. "I see, so you've been leveling up, how's Tsubasa and Antofer doing?" She missed the company of the first people she met in Aincrad, most of her time was spent training, gathering materials, or leveling up. There was no room for socializing. "Anyways, who's this guy right here?" Phillia pointed at Barryt with curiosity.

Phillia closed her eyes and hoped for the best. "Please, good luck this time!" She gripped the hilt of her blade tightly and used the sword art . As soon as the blade of the rapier touched the boar, its health bar quickly dropped to zero. Phillia heard the sound of shattering, then opened her eyes. "Yes! I did it! No more bad luck!" She collected the material that the boar dropped and looked at her energy. "This game is harder than I thought." The bluenette sighed and sat down to take a rest, enjoying the scenery that the sky provided. Several clouds that looked like apples floated through the vast ocean of blue. 'How pretty, I haven't seen these since forever.' She forgot how long it has been since the death game started, but it didn't matter now, nothing did.

The boar checked behind him and noticed a blue haired girl trying to attack him. 'Really? I couldn't just eat grass in peace?' This was one of the things going on in its mind, the other was 'Alright, just going to attack this stupid player.' Right after that, it's A.I. directed it to attack Phillia. 'Let's see how this works.' Its horns were pointed towards Phillia with the intent of killing her (Dealing as much damage as it can to her before it croaks). The boar ran right past the bluenette and wondered why it missed. It probably was not thanks to the (Dice roll) evasion on Phillia's armor. A sudden thought then came to Phillia's mind, "Oh no, the bad luck streak... Not again!"

"Another day of searching for materials." Surviving in this game was basically an endless grind, you'd train a while until you could actually participate in boss fights and survive. And then there were the higher leveled players, killing and stealing whatever they could get their dirty hands on. Phillia had a strong resentment for higher leveled players, she knew how dangerous they were just by observing their behavior. Many were arrogant and didn't accept rudeness, they were all too focused on rules. She rolled her eyes and caught a glimpse of a boar, getting ready to draw her weapon and test out her new gear. "This should be fun." In a second, she went charging towards the boar at full speed with her rapier pointed at it. There was no surprise that she missed the attack. "W-What!?"

After witnessing her first player deaths, she felt a bit uneasy. As a child she was fine with watching people die in the real world, but now something was different. It was like she finally began to grow emotionally. "I guess I'm alone in this game, can't really rely on anyone anymore, not after that. If I'm not going to fight for myself, then nobody else will." Phillia felt like repeating this lesson out loud, it was something that was held true to her heart from the day she was born. 'Damn, how many have to die before that bastard is satisfied?' Kayaba Akihiko was the cause for all these deaths, if he didn't exist then all this madness wouldn't either. Why are people killing each other? Oh well, it doesn't matter anyways, as long as she survives there's no problem.

Phillia spotted Nixon, and unusually, he was actually sad! Nearly crying actually. She overheard a loopy white-haired girl talking about blood and death, a subject that was normally touchy with others but not her. What was happening made her feel a bit anxious, so she just had to grab Nixon's shoulders. "H-Hey... What's wrong? You're not the Nixon that I know, you were always happy and quoting Shakespeare, where's the real Nixon?" Phillia said as if she knew something happened. The atmosphere just reeked with sadness, tears were dropping and psychos were blooming. 'Oh no.' She thought. 'When was the last time I saw somebody die?'
