Shino woke in the afternoon much later than most. The night before was full of her favorite pass time. With the clear memory of the terrified look of her victim's face still in her mind, Shino rose and streatched as far as her virtual body would allow. After popping her joints and choosing to put her day clothes on, she ventured out into the streets of seemingly helpless people. But now wasnt a good time for that. Walking these streets has gotten old to her, she has seen nearly everything there is to offer in the starting city. Faces are familiar and the route she takes is always the same when she is still waking up. Out of nowhere a bright glare shined on her eyes. Naturally she looked in that direction to see a familiar face. She approached her aquaintence and tapped his shoulder from behind to get his attention.

After a rather long absence I have finally returned to start reaking havac in SAO... Or just have a nice cup of tea thats fine too. But it appears most of the people I RPd with are no longer around. So if anyone wants to run around with a virtual psychopath for a while feel free to message me ^-^

Shino thought about Aster's offer for a moment, "Well it would certainly be easier with a friend. And what do I have to lose?" She stopped and smiled as she crossed her legs and brough her hand to her face, resting her head on her knuckles, "I may take you up on that Aster." Shino looked at the familiar Aster mentioned as Reginald and smiled as she reached down to pet him, "How did the two of you meet?" As her hand met with Reginald, Shino was surprised with how soft his fur was, "The creators of the game really went all out with detail. Its a shame some of it was wasted with shiny effects."

Shino sighed in disappointment, "I suppose it isn't worth anything then. This game is such a bore with those rules." Her arm fell back down to her side after releasing her grip on her weapon and she walked somewhat slugishly to the door. She shrugged as she went through the doorway and out to the cobblestone sidewalks, "Correct you are. Though, patience isn't my favorite virtue." Shino walked across the walkway and stood leaning against a building just outside the entrance to an ally. "Where to hun?" She said as Jazmyne approached her once again.

Ah I see, so I should focus on the non-moded ones for now yeah?

Perhaps its just me then.. :/

I think it would be beneficial to the site to have ALL current possible skills in one thread. I often have a hard time finding what Im looking for with certain skills being in the rule thread and others being in the skill mods thread. Anyone agree?

Shino made contact once again, but for no damage. Shino crossed her arms and began to rant to herself, "God damn I hate this rock so much. If only it had guts for me to spill all over the ground." Shino paced around the boulder trying to find the will to continue.

Shino spit off to the side and swung her arm right after. "Heh it seems Im going back to middle school with my fighting habits." Shino always proved to be a dirty fighter, especially back then. Whenever she got in fights she used to throw sand in people's eyes and spit at them. "I was so clueless back then. I didnt know how much fun is to go the extra mile and kill people."

Shino couldnt help but laugh as her friend scolded the nosey child. She looked around noticing nearly everyone staring at them, "I agree that a change in scenery would be good. But it depends on how you take it. Would you rather go somewhere else, or change what is already here?" Shino gave a devilish smile to Jazmyne as she stood up. She reached at the bottom of her back where she kept her weapon, holding it there awaiting an answer. "I would love to redecorate. Blood here, bodies there, maybe a heart on the wall held up by a nail right through the middle of it. The ESRB would have nothing on me." She looked over at Jazmyne once again, "We could even start with the brat if you like."

Finishing her bowl at nearly the same time as Evander, Shino sighed with content. "Ahh, that was great." A dessert menu was given to Shino before her emty bowl was taken away. "Personally Im not a dessert person. These looks have to take sacrifice, you know?" Shino gave Evander a genuine smile and pushed her menu away. "My meal was amazing, it tasted just like home. Keep taking me out like this and I wont have to worry about eating ever again." Shino giggled not at what she said but what she was thinking, "If he keeps proving useful I may not have to kill him. I'll just wait and see."

Out of nowhere a fox started curling around Shino's legs, her first reaction was to reach down and pet it. "Hello little one. What do they call ya?" But before Shino could reach her hand down, Aster swept the fox up in her arms. She then apologised for something Shino wasnt aware of. Shino gave Aster a confused look, "What for?" Animals werent something Shino was familiar with as much as other people. She lived in the city for her whole life and never had the chance to connect with nature.

Shino took Aster's words to heart, seeing as she may be an alchemist until she escapes this bloodless death game. "A chemistry lab huh? You are always thinking of school arent ya?" Shino giggled before finding a chair to sit in, and plopped down exhaling slowly. "It must be nice having your own place. Gives you somewhere to escape from all the chaos outside."

Im sure Im not the only one that thinks that some enhancements are seriously lacking in comparrison to others. I think one of the bigger ones would be paralysis. This is what I think off the top of my head to improve it, and feedback is great both good and bad.

Paralysis potion was used in the anime to paralyze Kirito. Both he and the person with him (Cant remember names off the top of my head) took multiple hits before being able to finally move again. My idea was to have the paralysis effect with crafting die. The player that is paralyzed would roll on their turn to overcome their negative effect.

CD: 6-12 Paralysis wore off

This also gives me ideas for new skills to help negative effect negation, but thats a whole different topic.

"Nice people who protect players... disgusting. One of the reasons I dont wanna go up there with 'em." Shino nearly cringed at the thought. "They might as well be vigilantes in the real world." Shino almost forgot to answer as she saw their food coming, "I just dont see myself fighting those huge boss monsters. And I DONT take orders from people that wave their stats in my face." Evander said something about frontline PKers that caught Shino's attention, "Though Im sure some of them are cool." Shino drove her chopsticks into her bowl of ramen and brought a mouthfull to herself smiling in delight. "Ah just like home."

The girl smiled to Evander, happy he accepted her request to go hunting in the future. After being asked the same question Shino thought for a moment. She didnt really plan anything up to this point, "Well.. now is as good a time as any to make a plan." Shino rested her head on one of her hands and spoke, "Well I plan on sticking around out here for a while. On the lower floors I mean. I need to level up at my own pace.. First up is beating the crap out of that rock, after that its back to the first floor to finally start fighting mobs with my new skills I choose." Shino reached down pushing the fork and spoon on the table away. She grabbed a pair of chopsticks and broke them in two. "Im looking forward to leveling up, but I dont think I would want to go with the players on the frontlines. Its very risky up there." "More-so I want to hunt people more than mobs. I can see their faces now."

After a short while of walking, the pair finally came to a ramen restaraunt. Upon entering and taking a seat Shino realised that even in the virtual world ramen places are the same no matter where you go. She could instantly answer Evander's question on what to get, she has her favorite to stand by forever, "Im gonna go with roast chicken." Shino didnt have to look at the menu, all places had it and she knew it. "So tell me Evander, what do you plan on doing in the forseeable future? Perhaps we can go hunting together sometime. Or in time I would be willing to have a sparring match."

Shino once again swung her fist, hitting the boulder. She was only slightly more satisfied as she watched the boulder's health go down slightly again. "Im gonna grab a drink after my next critical. Im getting kinda parched." She wiped her forehead with her arm trying to cool off a bit, then got back in her fighting stance.

Shino looked around Urbus, originally blind to its unique architecture. She glanced around looking for ways to familiarize herself with the town. Knowing all the ins and outs was one of Shino's special traits that benefit her specifically. "I would rather walk through the streets. Seems like its less time consuming." She began leading the way pulling Evander by the arm she still held. Shino wanted to waste no time getting to her favorite food as it was one of her favorite things..

As Shino swung her arm forward, her leg slipped on the dirt under her causing her to fall to the ground. "What the hell! How did that just happen?!" Light laughter could be heard from the hut behind her, "Dont think Im not gonna kill you next old man!" Shino brushed off her clothes and set back in her fighting stance once again.

"Hmm.." Shino thought about her answer for an oddly long amount of time before finally speaking again after a minute, "I dont remember my younger years so much but me and my little sister would eat instant ramen whenever our parents were at work or something. Every once in a while we would go out to eat at a real ramen place." After that Shino fell strangely silent, "I do remember there were some good times between us. But they know how it was ruined, there's no going back to fix their mistakes." She perked up again noticing a town in the distance, "Is that where we're headed Evander?" she asked as she reached out her hand pointing to the town.

Shino tilted her head, giving thought to where Aster would take them. "I wonder if she has a friend in town or something. Or perhaps we're grabbing a bite." After a little bit of guessing the possibilities, the two girls stopped at a building. Shino didnt notice a sign before she was led in by Aster, but taking a look around she knew it was a shop. "This is your alchemist shop Aster?" She looked around, her eyes lighting up. "Its so cool!" Shino clapped her hands together in excitement. "You know I was thinking of becoming an alchemist since I got here. Any advice you could give me?" She admired all of the potions that were on display, poking them to read their descriptions.

Shino closed her eyes and drew her dagger. "Well, I can give him what he asks for. At that, who would help me level up?" Shino thought for a second and came to a conclusion that she liked. "How about you tell me why its so big of you to try and intimidate an innocent girl like me. Im sure if we went back to town, I would have a much higher rate of winning than here." Shino glared at X, "Look at him, waving his stats over me. Give it time Shino, he wont do it much longer." Shino sheathed her dagger and instead sat on X's chest, careful to keep her skirt down the whole time. 

Evander took Shino's mind off of possible death by talking about her favorite food. She spoke as though it was obvious why she loved it, "I lived off of ramen my whole life. Especially these past few months since I moved out. Its cheap and good." She smiled at the thought of living in her apartment with her friend Anibell. Not so much she had fun there but it was her base to go to after she's had her fun for the day. A bird suddenly flew out of nowhere , and Shino jumped grabbing Evander's arm tightly. "Christ, that could make this game a horror game if they keep that up." Shino sighed, thankful it wasnt anything to worry about.

Shino nodded her head in response to Aster's answer to her assumption. "I suppose I was wrong. It wouldnt be the first time ever" Shino looked around as the two walked, seeing nothing that spiked her interest or curiosity. Before Shino could think of something else to say, Aster asked her about having a sister. "Well for me, I wasn't thought to be as important as my little sister. Even though Im older, I was always put in her shadow because she was so easy to manipulate by her parents. Im sure the answer can be given differently a million ways, but my answer is no." "Though she did make for a good out for my first murders."
