Hidden

Custom Skill: ► Lady Midnight Cost: 10 SP Active Requirement: Rank 5 Hiding | Vanish Effect: The user may use the <<Vanish>> mod as a free-action. Description: Legend has said there are three that preside over the shadows. The Master of Shadows, The Lord of Darkness, and Lady Midnight. Lady Midnight directly ties the user to the shadows, and allows for the user to gather and manipulate shadows at will, however; this more affects the ethereal realm than that of the physical.

Hidden followed Shiina into the shop, her eyes flicking at the candles that were displayed. Shiina's words made her unconsciously breathe in the air. She found it to be pleasant but didn't take the time to argue with Shiina about the aroma. Instead, the girl was already harassing the shop owner for wax. The childlike joy of 'Crayons' filled the air as several chunks of wax hit the counter. Shaking her head, the shorter girl stepped forward, gazing up slightly as Shiina was delighted. 'Why is she taller than me if she's going to act like this?' Catching the shopkeep's gaze, Hidden quickly

It was apparent in Hidden's eyes that she had become upset. Unlike before with her dazed expression, her self-doubt was laid plainly on her face. In the current atmosphere, her sense of Pride had all but vanished. All that remained now was her and her own feelings. The voice that nagged in the back of her head spoke where she could hear it, but the voice was lulled and sleepy. It was almost as if she had to strain herself to hear and understand her own thought's quiet voice. 'Wake up... it's not good to be here. Th.. is NIGHT. Not t. .. tr..... ' You must've gotten me confused for t

Raidou would stand as she offered a change in location, the Animosity in the air suddenly increasing. Had he decided to kill her after all? Was he willing to face the consequences? She had prepared for such an outcome, but doubted it would be put to use. Black liquid began to mold to the player's skin, tracing up his face and down his neck. A red glare pierced her, but she felt nothing from such a blow. He exchanged words of warning, and she immediately threw caution to the wind. A smug smile rested on her face. "Tricks? Misdirection? Not my forte. Simply being prepared is enough. As for

"Okay..." Hidden said quietly as Shiina shouted about juicing people up. "Juices aside, they just call on you when like... whenever? That makes you sound like their dog. Call you when they want to and leave you out in the yard all the other time." She kept quiet about her thoughts of Shiina being a very dangerous dog that runs around the streets unchained. When clarifying the sled, it didn't get any less unsettling. "...How many eyeballs?" Hidden had an idea what the bee was, the field boss on Floor two. Was Shiina just massacring this bee constantly? Then the sledding itself, if they fa

"So its on purpose that nothing you do seems to make sense? Fair enough. As for Rosaria, it's impressive that you seem to know her on such a personal level. Did you have chemistry before I became along?" she questioned, a smile of muse sitting on her face. The man put away his glasses, the seeming to become denser. She could feel it. His growing animosity. Much to her dissatisfaction, the Wanderer didn't seem interested in answering her question. Only, asking his own. She was willing to oblige him with an answer, but this wasn't going in the direction she wanted. She asked for a conversation n

"Get out more... I practically live outside right now." she assured the girl. It was true, she hadn't returned to Ayame in over a week since she had basically ran away. Not since her and Raidou and gotten in a fight. As the girl touched her hair, she leapt back with a threatening look to her eyes. No one, had even dared touched her hair. She had let Sey, but they had literally be engaged. Now here this girl was just casually touching it. She checked her hair to make sure caramel hadn't gotten on it while Shiina checked the coin. Then the dolt dropped it on the ground. "Hey! That's the on

The dark-haired woman watched as Raidou slowly turned, a reflective tint in the evening sun visible as his caught sight of her. There was something darker to his eyes which was amusing to her. There was more to be seen in this character than in most. He removed the frames from his face, their eyes meeting with nothing in between. It was a sign that they were seeing eachother eye to eye. He understood the situation was serious despite her polite demeanor. "The Red Wanderer it is then," she agreed. She figured he assumed the moniker when not surrounded by her friends. Perhaps it served as

Shiina didn't relent in the random things she said or did. Her defense for stripping a man was next to nothing and she even took time to comment on his undergarments. Her way of expressing music was weird. Music wasn't powerful, she just somehow incorporated song into skills like... well... a weirdo. "Music is just talking with a rhythm behind it. Its literally just words, of course you can express anything. " Having finished her own apple, she watched enviously as Shiina continued to munch of her own. Hidden had devoured her's too fast. She hadn't had one since Tanabata. An event w

The streets of the bazaar were not as bustling in the evening as they were in the day. Several guards still remained stationed, but they paid her no attention. A well-dressed woman in her late-twenties walked the streets. Long dark hair drifted down evenly to her hips even though it was put up in a ponytail with a bow. Dark red eyes scanned the area as a confident smile was displayed on her face. No weapons were to be found on her figure, which was odd due to one prominent face. This woman was an orange player. A wolf walking among sheep with no need to hide herself away. She was aware of what

Shiina didn't appear to happy to see her againHer . Of course she wasn't, she was trying to lose her. If she could get away, she could continue watching unseen from afar. Hidden wasn't perceptive enough to see her hiding around. When she asked where the girl got the apples, she pointed to an empty stall. Unamused expression on her face, Hidden blankly stared at Shiina. "Awesome. I think I'll go and get one from him now." Shiina picks up an apple, waving it in the air. Stepping back from the monster that would endanger the golden treat, it was forced into her hand. "Don't say I didn't do

Hidden mused NIGHT's words. "My house doesn't meet that criteria. It isn't traditionally styled at all. Looks more like a summer home. Warm grass, a small river that flows through near. Only real decoration is small flower beds in the front. The stone steps in are sometimes nice to sit down on and look out." The warm sensation of the dream seemed to subside a bit as she remembered it. She had been away from her house for a couple of weeks now. She wondered if Ayame was still waiting there for her to come back. She averted her eyes from NIGHT as they dimmed a bit in regret of her actions.

NIGHT's figure remained unchanging as she responded to Hidden's words, voicing perfect reason. The dark-haired girl made perfect sense. Why would anything be clear when she understood nothing about where they were at. Her name was mentioned which confused Hidden for a moment but it all made sense. Why wouldn't Dream-NIGHT not know her name? A moment of silence ensued as Hidden pondered NIGHT's question. "I... can't really think of an answer for it. If I were to have to guess, it's because I don't feel the need to understand it. It doesn't feel like here that I need to worry about what's going

Distracted by the petals, she didn't notice the approaching figure. As her voice cut the serene silence, Hidden internally jumped as the high of the atmosphere faded in an instant. Her head quickly turned, violet eyes meeting the newcomers form. The person also adorned traditional attire, though not the same here. Dark hair and purple eyes were prominent in her facial features. A sense of familiarity rested with the woman. Standing from her crouched position, she found that they were similar in height. "Do you happen to know what this place might be? I must've fallen asleep and forgotten,

Hidden was lucky to have been in earshot when Shiina teleported, or Hidden would've lost her entirely. She only knew her name and wasn't going to pay someone to track her down. On the other hand, with the Untraceable mod, it would take some time for Shiina to find her to follow her around again. That would ruin her lead of proving that Raidou was still having random girls follow her around. At least with this one, she didn't have a scowl and a prejudiced attitude. Following through to Coral, it would only take her the time to track her familiar to find out where Shiina was again. She had

Firstly, I'd like to say that I think that the Playtest system was masterfully made, the best system for balancing weapons that I've ever seen and I've been around since the first sword art was created. I think NIGHT and ChaseR need a serious round of applause and a crispy set of high fives for. The only thing I'm worried about with this new system is that certain enhancements becoming just far too powerful and some that have always been relatively underpowered. 3.02 System Change Proposal Note: All changes made are considered only if the PT Sword Art System is Implemented. ► Ho

'She has a house, so why was she sleeping in some random secluded cave?' One may ask. It was a question that even the snow-haired girl couldn't answer. Her own home felt foreign to her, unsafe. It was a house for someone else. Or maybe, she was just hiding from Ayame. She couldn't bring her eyes to meet the young girl. How could she come to face a girl that had been tricking her from the moment they met? Normally, doing away with her was the answer. This time that didn't seem like much of an option. Despite what she might have done, she was still important. Now, Hidden laid sprawled out in a s

Set on rainbow-sprinkled cupcakes, Shiina insisted on moving to Coral to find them. 'How long does she think can hide what she's really doing? We caught her red-handed, why is she lying about it now?' Hidden followed suit until Shiina turned around, eyes narrowed. "You ain't going to get any cupcakes first, I'ma eat them all to MYSELF." Hidden's face scrunched in confusion. "What? I don't want your stupid cu-" Shiina bolted away suddenly. She was surprisingly fast too. Unluckily for her, she was unaware that nearly every move of hers was being tracked at this point. Umbra had slippe

The blue haired girl, Moro, would come to retrieve the armor before the arrival of Simmone's voice would interrupt her action. Hidden's face furrowed with suspicion. Why would the woman give her something for free? She was the kind of person where everything had a value that needed to be met. What was the debt she unmeaningfully accrued in this single moment? What did Simmone want from her? She was content reading Hidden's life like a sour story. It seemed the woman originally followed her out to protect the answers she had given her earlier. The mention of the black pond made her easy.

"Who book boi?" 'Wait what?' "Nope, probably doesn't even know where I am." Hidden released her grip, only after the girl attempted to make it do some weird things. She wasn't spying on her for Raidou? She was ambling around and just happened to stumble onto Hidden? The chances of that were low, and Hidden wasn't sure if this girl was a master liar or completely serious. Looking over the girl again, she still couldn't decide on where the girl stood. The girl suddenly mentioned that she was going to get something to eat and that Hidden could hang out with the 'ass clowns.' Shiin

Her eyes finally began to examine the girl. Her face filled with even more confusion as the girl's eyes dimmed along with her hair color fading from gold back to black. Who was this player? She hadn't seen her anywhere before. The girl was calm, holding her hands tightly to her flat chest. Her face seemed young, even that of a child's. It was honestly annoying because of that fact that the girl was a bit taller than her. How was it fair that she was shorter than a child? Abruptly, the girl's eyes opened and the demeanor returned to normal. In a chaotic fashion, the girl stumbled over to h

Underestimate Raidou? She had to be kidding. Even if he was putting up a tough act, he was like her. He was still that boy getting pushed into the snow. He let others use him, let her use him. As Simmone went into the topic of Hidden's popularity, a cold stare would be shot at her. "I had no interest in being center stage. I was put there." However, this was a play and she was the antagonist of the story. At least, that is what part they told her to act. "If you need any more answers or have any more questions, you know where to find me." A low, short chuckle. "You called those ans

"Final Act: Phantasmal Chorus: Cry of the Ancients." All hell seemed to break loose as a final color added to the floor, the rings of colors turned and shifted until they locked into place, the gleam of the floor fatiguing their opponent entirely. Piasuhon's legs gave out as it was unable to hold its own weight any longer. Taking advantage of its moment of weakness, Hidden darted forward for the execution. A dark miasma seeped from her blade as she activated her strongest sword art once more. As she approached, the Rhino made its best attempt to get up and escape. It managed to sit up, be

Hidden watched as the large man put to work at the job she had for him.For some strange reason, he was walking her through the process as if she were learning from him. She remained silent throughout her confusion, though her eyes widened as him hammer shattered Nihilim's Wrath in a single smite. Was he going to do that to Kura yu Yami as well? Surely not. She'd have to kill him if if he destroyed her weapons. However, a dark miasma seemed to seep from the now broken weapon, filling her typical weapon. With a bit more work, he produced her weapon. Accepting it, she would offer up her tha

Her comrade continued her music, the lighting that embossed the ground pulsating as it seemed to become brighter in accordance to the amount of verses the girl was running through. In fact, a light seemed to be shining intensely in the girl's eyes. Was she going to explode? Ignoring the girl for a bit longer, Hidden turned to face the Rhino. Activating <<Vanish>> she faded from view, reappearing right next to the creature. With a single stroke, a burst of white light carved through the beast, tearing through nearly all of its lifepoints. The force of the blow was even enough
