The shower of confidence was heard from the Trainer towards the trees. Her brown eyes flickered at her opponent, the busted up Wasp Queen. "Oh back for round two, eh?" The needle like stinger came swiftly, and although Dani was particularly well at dodging blows, the massive girth of the Wasp Queen came buzzing towards her with the ferocity of a lion. Taking another sweeping hit from the Wasp Queen, Dani shrugged off the damage. She had taken a look at her health bar, but that's all it was. Just a look. She didn't even seem to care to have taken so much damage. But she had gone to retaliate. Darkness abound upon her feet and arms. Sweeping through the air as her dark hair trailed behind her. Legs spread and then thrust, the MA skill going off in a chain as she viciously assaulted the Queen Wasp and then with a rigged hand, she cut clearly across the head and shoulder of the Wasp where it's head was severed, rolled and then poofed into pixie dust ina  matter of moments. 

A small screen lit up in front of her, showing her had got her prizes and experience. Flicking the dark hair behind her, she moved up to Aereth and leaned against a tree. "And that's all she wrote...Time to get the hell out of here, Boy. I know you have some thinking to do. So should we just call it here and we'll meet back up later? I'll train while you are away." @Aereth

Out of the corner of her eyes, Dani looked at Aereth. He seemed to be busy with other things. A small pout, "Hey! Watch what I can do!" It wa sa cry for attention, because she was used to the sort of crowd to watch her when she fought. Up on the ring, she was the highlight of the show. With her knuckles tightening under the gloves of the Rock Smashers, the agile female moved in for the attack. The Wasp Queen buzzed and fluttered in a simple pattern, easily enough to guess where the attack would land. But despite being stung by the attack of the Queen, the female brushed it off. 

With her eyes on the prize, Dani made her quick attack. Feet and hands began to glow an eerie dark fervor of an aura that wrapped around her 'weapons.' She had launched herself forward, legs moving quickly as they struck at the queen one after another. When she spun around, her arm extended outwards and a fiery chop dropped the HP of the Queen to less than half. One more attack like that and this would be Quest Over. @Aereth

Dani squinted her brown eyes at Aereth and nodded her head, long dark hair unfurled off her shoulder as she looked over it with a smile, "Oh I know I am an awesome chick. This is something you don't need to tell me." Standing and looking at the upcoming buzzing sound. the insect Queen had ambushed the player catching her off guard. Stinger first flying right at Daniella, she had attempted to move but was struck head on causing her body to be ripped from where she was standing and rolling a few feet backwards. A little jarred from the attack, the Busty Pugilist stood up and swept the dirt off her butt and hands and got into a boxer's stance once again. She held her hand out to Aereth, "Don't worry. I got this." 

The female titled her neck and pushed her gloves hand over the exposed portion and rolled her shoulders. Fingers slipped underneath her suspenders as she rolled them off her body as they swung at her side. She was gonna get serious with this nasty Bug Queen. Hopefully her next attack would land a critical blow. That would be awesome. @Aereth

"Haha, I can't be mad at you for myself screwing up. Think nothing of it, Aereth. But I know you had a pretty lousy time having to do what that guy told you to do. I'll understand if you wanna call it an early day after we fight this Queen Bee. We still have a quest to finish up and it looks like you might have your hands full with that Bounty List. Should I come with you? Or would you rather do this alone?" 

The female had taken the lead, going back into the woods where they had originated. Before they got tangled into that Laughing Coffin mess, they were easing into a Quest that would net Dani some extra skill points to add to her growing numbers and to lead her to one step closer to her Offensive Build. But a lot of that was sidetracked for a little while. She wandered what was on his mind though? It must be hard having to deal with that on a daily basis. His hands were already thick with the blood of others, she wondered if killing more would push him further into his own madness that he had been stalling off. 

She had leaned on him and her lips smiled up as her forearm rested against his chest, "I'll take care of you tonight and should you need to leave to take care of business, I'll be more than understanding." She shuttled off his body and turned to face the woods, pounding her fist to her palm. "Alright. Let's finish this job then." @Aereth  

"Hahah, quite the robust lad. Very well, we agree to not touch a pretty hair on any of your friends. I am so glad we were able to come to a conclusion without any blood shed between us." Sensui nodded his head to one of the other members who jumped off a rock. A short male player garbed in dark purple bodysuit while heavily armed katanas swung from his belt. The male peeled down his mask and took from his inventory a memo, a list of names that were on their hit list. Sensui had 'danced' his way back to his throne chair and fell back with a thud, his goblet filled once more as he took a more carefree position as three exotic, beautiful women came over to pamper him and feed him. 

"You have three months to kill these players. By that time, we will come to find you out again should you not have done what was told for you to do. I'll personally come and drag you by that hair to my Master and have you eat the dirt to which you walk and stand on. Then I'll bury you in the deepest trenches of the woods, locked and driven to madness for eternity. You both are dismissed." 

"Now, now, Hellion, there is no need to be so dramatic. I am sure the Lad knows what he is doing. But he right, you both are free to go now. Thank you so very much for your time." Sensui gave a cordial wave as Dani was given the opportunity to stand by Aereth once again. 

The woman took him by the hand to lead them out of the lair of the madmen and would turn back only to see them leaving the area for good. The woman sighed and dropped his hand from hers, "Wow. That was something, huh? Goldie Locks over there didn't seem so bad though compared to the others, but I bet he was the strongest out of them all. And did you see those other girls hanging all over him like that? pfft. No respect for their own bodies to do the whim of a male at beck and call. So shallow. Anyways, sorry I got blindsided in my fight with that other player. I didn't find out what was happening until it was too late. But! We are alive, right? Fight for another day. Are you gonna do the job that he asked you to do though? He basically blackmailed you into it." @Aereth 

Led with blades to their backs and towing some kind of treasure. The suspicious looking players with the Laughing Coffin tattoos marched through the woods only to come up to an inlet of land where many, many other players stood. Upon a throne of some sort sat a player, a male, long curly blonde hair, dazzling green eyes. He sat with a grin on his face, one leg over the other and was dressed in an older gothic century looking get up. Dani had noticed the player from the corner of her eyes as they were lead to the front of this player and his seemingly velvet red throne chair. The man cradled some kind glass in his hand as he sipped from it gingerly. 

"Come now, this is no way for our Guests. Please, gents, put down your weapons." The man stood up, he was tall and those bright green eyes sat on Dani as she looked up at him. Her mouth slightly open as she took in his grandiose appearance. The man traveled from his and looked at Aereth, "Ahh, you must be the PKKer, Aereth. I humbly apologize for the manner in which you were brought. You are not some mere stock of game that can be dragged here or there. But I had to be a little...persuasive in my actions." 

The man placed a hand on Aereth's shoulder and rubbed his muscles, as if to work him up into something. "We are Laughing Coffin." He said straight to the point. "We've been collecting the pieces of ourselves for the last few months since the incident where we were almost..gone extinct, I should say. However, it has come to my attention that you; a PKKer has been trying to pick up where another had left off. And I had planned to have you assassinated. Let me tell you..." Just then his tone had got much more sinister, it had made Dani gulp hard when that look and tone changed into something rather dark, "You have been a thorn...in my side, Boy." The man took his hands off Aereth's shoulders and stood in front of the two once again. 

"BUT..." a much lighter tone came resonating from his voice, the one he had carried just moments into their brief introductions, "I thought. You are such a grand killer of killers. I could use you. Aereth. You have come under the pretense that I want you to join the Laughing Coffin. To be clear, that is not what I want. I would rather pay you to do a job for me. A simple job actually and it would be nothing you haven't done in the past. There are a few rival guilds that are Player Killers, and some of them have taken an interest in ripping us apart. I would like for you, to in turn, rip them apart. You will be paid of course. But only when you are completely finished with the job. But in turn, I want you to stay away from my Members. Laughing Coffin is off limits, do you understand? You do this job for me and I'll let the big chested Grappler live." His emerald eyes on Dani as he gave his lips a small lick with a flicker of his tongue. In turn Dani was making vomiting noises as she stuck her finger down her throat, "Gross." She said, which caused the male player to react with a laugh. 

"Refuse? I kill her, then I kill everyone you have been in contact with, then...I will come for you. If you thought that last prison was bad, I have found a place where you would never see the light of day again. It would make the hell you were in seem like a Paradise. I have a list of player's you need to kill. Kill all of them on the list and I'll make sure to back off on you and your friends. Do we have an accord?" Sensui smiled, one hand behind his back while the other was in front of Aereth ready to shake on this deal. 

@Aereth

Daniella had slipped from the trees to allow Aereth to fight at his potential. She knew being there would only make him worry, but there was nothing to fear. As he had said they would travel in packs, there didn't seem to be anyone else who followed. Except for a strange looking fabric that had wafted by a singular tree just now. Tilting her head to the side, she began to investigate. Dani slowly crept up on that shady looking tree and checked all around it but found nothing. When she had turned around however, there was a rather tall and intimidating fellow. 

"Why hell-blrg" Cut short of any formalities, the man's large hands were around her throat choking the life force from her body. She had been lifted off the ground, her feet dangling while her brown eyes rolled. She struggled to get a grasp of the situation, this guy was far more powerful than he let on, well, he was massive so... Dani swung her body upwards wrapping her feet around the man's arm. A solid left foot came crashing into his face, if it had been outside the game, that was clearly a nose breaking kick she had just done. But the attack had jarred the man's hands from her neck letting her go in a hurry. 

Stumbling backwards, the caped player shook his head and snarled, "Quite the move there little girl. But I have a secret that you don't know. I am not the decoy." Dani had found her way to her feet after landing squarely on her butt. With a simple jump, she was in her boxer's stance and didn't know what he meant by that. Confused, but more geared kicking this guy's butt. The woman charged with her speed and slammed a fist right into the guys nose a second time, doing a leaping attack. Shattering any possible fragments of bone in his nose would have won her the match with that attack, but the player just stumbled backwards and laughed. "The hell is with you?" 

"Ahh, I see you are figuring it out. I might be a little slower than my brothers in hiding, but I am what they call a Fist Tank. I have an impressive amount of mitigation and devastating power to come with it. Let me show you." The Bull charged at her with a slower speed than she could with her feet. Fists threw the air at her, but she was able to dodged them easily enough until she was pinned into a tree, where hands seemingly came up and wrapped around her wrists, a foot to her back and then she was pinned down to the ground, "Umph!" she fell with a silent thud....

---

Aereth had been fighting this other guy with the Uniques, they had squared off with one another until the other finally backed away. "Hahahah! Plans seem to have gone according to plan. Mr. Pkker! You must now make a decision," he said pointing to the woods. Six men came from the shadows, blades held to the neck of Dani as they came into sight, "As I said, Mr. Sensui would like a word with you. If you do not comply, the little girl will lose a lot more than just her life." 

"Ahh...Hey, Aereth? How goes? Sorry, I think I bit off more than I could chew..." The blades seemed to be uniquely enhanced, dripping with auras that resonated with power. These PKers were not your run-in the mill novices, these were some of the more top end fighters of the Laughing Coffin. 

"What's it gonna be?" @Aereth

"Such demands. Very well, I agree to these terms. Heh heh." The figure laughed showing the dagger dripping with a blue and red aura. As he stood there, his cloak began to show signs of fire blowing in the breeze. Piercing green eyes from the shabby brown haired individual as he showed of his perfectly equipped unique set up. There was no denying, Laughing Coffin was a base of players who prided themselves in PvP and they would have the best available equipment to attack players for the thrill of the kill. Chuckling softly, the man knew this player, the PKKer whom had been the talk of the PK Circuit was nothing more than a novice compared to the others. But things could get wrong, and things could get bad. Licking his lips and twirling his dagger, the man got into pose and moved forward with the grace of a black cat. Speed on his side as he launched himself forward as the flaming cloak now billowed away from his body showing an impressive leather arm plate. The seething red and green dagger took to Aereth's face...

Dani's eyes had widened, she could possibly lose her trainer in this battle. But there was no throwing in the towel, it was a Fight. And this was a fight that had a lot of personal issues on the table to Aereth. So she had to back away more, away from the battle. He needed to concentrate and with her there, he couldn't fight and see her to safety. So she would slink further into the trees and waited with a crouched position. All she could do was watch outside the right, it was an odd feeling to do the watching. She had rather been the one fighting. @Aereth

"Laughing Coffin? Is this one of the PK Guild you were talking about?" He had talked about this very little but he did have a personal vendetta against these groups of players. Dani was ready to argue that she should take on this guy, but the mention she might be outclassed and out leveled really struck a nerve. She was not mad at Aereth for this, more so at herself, she had to train harder. She didn't always want to be out classes and out leveled by some punk. She had no choice, she was just getting warmed up and wanted to show off her talents to Aereth. Now she could not, since he was stepping in. The annoyed girl sighed and took a step back glaring at the hooded player. She just pointed her finger at him and then took a side view beside a tree and leaned against. 

"Do what you got to do, Aereth." The woman said folding her arms over her chest. She had kept the item he gave her and leaned silently, if there was another player out there then she would keep an eye out so he wouldn't get ambushed. 

The hooded player smiled through his cloak. With a hand he slowly moved it on down from his face, "Aereth, the PKKer. How cute that I run into you of all players. Sensui would like a word, in fact, he would like to recruit you into the fold. We've been...trying to regather our forces for a little while now but there has been a troublesome boy scooping out our prospects. So Sensui, our Leader would like to speak with you personally. If you still want to fight, that's fine. To be honest, I don't care. Because you are a wild card, we can't have your kind ruining our fun. We've already had to deal with two traitors in our ranks, one of them is dead the other is MIA since he killed her. But, we are rebuilding and the name Laughing Coffin will once more spread fear and mayhem into the world of Aincrad. This choice I give to you, we fight to the death, or I give you directions to speak with our leader, Sensui. Up to you..."

Daniella scoffed at the unhooded player, he had some balls revealing himself like that. Dirty blonde hair, green eyes, decent toned muscles. Look like he used something other than a dagger but Dani wouldn't know for sure. And he was using a lot of names that the busty pugilist didn't know. So the leader of Laughing Coffin was a guy named Sensui? "Interesting." @Aereth

"Yes! Excellent!" came the tone of excitement in her voice. With a rough hand, Dani grabbed Pixel's and gave it a hearty shake, "Daniella, Dani for short. It is a pleasure to meetchya! That's a neat username by the way, I opted in to using my real life name because I have my reasons. I'm gonna let everyone in Aincrad know who I am by challenging all sorts of players to duels. That's the goal at least!" It was great to find another female who seemed to be excited about the Boys vs Girls volleyball match she was trying to put together. 

Dani had side stepped away for a moment so Pixel could get to the food table, giving her a quick look up and down and grinning like a stupid girl because they had basically the smaller sets of bikini tops on, "Looks like you got a bit more to than your top can handle." Dani had to look towards Pixel as she adjusted the bikini top so the other boys didn't see her touching herself to give it a quick adjustment. 

"Get that protein in ya, Girl. Cause when the match starts your gonna need all the energy you can get. Sorry, rambling here." Dani said after swinging her body back around. With the sun in her face, the busty chested pugilist held a hand up to screen the sun from her eyes and got a look at the other's who were attending. Lots of unfamiliar faces and possible challenges in the future. But because everyone wore bikinis or swimming trunks, it was hard to tell who was high level and who was still in her range. But she had to stop with that for today, it was an off day so she had to exercise her right to have some fun. Turning and leaning into Pixel while swinging her arm over the girl's shoulder, "That," she pointed to the black haired girl, "Is Elucia...I hope I said her name right, but she is gonna be part of the team too. HEY! ELUCIA!!! Give a wave, this is Pixel! She's gonna be on our team, Girl!" @Hidden @Shadowpixel

Dani narrowed her eyes, "It was not moaning. And I am not a shifty figure like some of you ninja, assassiny types. In the ring, you exert all kinds of noises from your mouth. You have sweat and blood all over you, you have adrenaline pumping inside all over. Muscles ache, everything hurts. But when you are going in for your strikes, everything counts. Making the 'noise' helps establish a dominance in the ring. You have your ways, and I have mine." She flicked his chest with her finger as she got close to him. 

With the back of her hand, the woman had swept sweat from her forehead. A light sheen had accumulated over the surface of her body. Even with no direct sunlight, it was still a pretty warm day out, and it was causing some thick beads of sweat to roll off and dampen her shirt. "I should really invest in a new wardrobe. I guess these shirts don't stain like they do in the real world. No laundry. That's killer. But wearing a crop top, a skirt and some suspenders, not your typical fighter's outfit huh? I'll stitch something together the next time we are out training. But until then..."

The woman pressed her hand to her neck to give it a pop, "This outfit will have to do. So. That Queen Bee should be showing up pretty soon, huh? Think we can end this a little early if I just started to go berserk on everything until it comes out of hiding? Also, I wasn't gonna mention this until later, but we are still on for tonight?"

"There won't be a tonight for the both of you..." came a voice out of the shrubs. Dani had turned her attention on the eavesdropper as she folded her arms over her chest and gazed at the hooded player with the gruff voice.  Above his head was the bobble of an orange cursor along with a sickly looking tattoo of a coffin stretched over his exposed abdomen. 

"What the hell is up with this guy?" She asked in a whisper towards Aereth. Dani didn't wait for an answer and she took a step forward, "Not one of those silly Role Players, are you? What is your problem anyway, Boy? We are just on a quest. Why don't you go and run on home." The female said, giving the player a wave of her hand.

"Hahaha. Silly girl, have you any idea what this symbol means?" He said pointing to the logo. The woman shook her head, "Have no idea. But that tattoo is in bad taste, Boy. I tried to give you an out, but it seems like you are challenging me. I'm gonna have to teach you a lesson, Boy." Fingers popped and cracked as Dani took another step forward, "Don't interrupt me." She said with a tone towards Aereth. "Today starts my record for wins in duels against other Players. We'll see if I have what it takes to defeat Aincrad's hardened players."

@Aereth 

Buzzing, the sound of wings fluttering with a small electrical like sound resonated in her ear. The woman gave a short frown when five of them exposed themselves to her and Aereth. She had taken the lead, slamming her fist into her hand when he gave her a certain set of instructions although he was not clear with his message, she understood what he wanted her to do. "Right. Maximum Effort." The woman knelt down on the ground, both gloved hands touching the soft, mulchy earth as her brown eyes scanned the five flying insects. She looked at her left and her right, there was a dead branch off to the side. She could use that for her attack. 

"Alright. I have a plan. You watch, Boy. I'll show you the summation of our training in this next assault." The Rock Smashers were pulled down and tightened as she sat on her legs and then, like a bullet exploding from the barrel of a gun, she went forth with tremendous effort and speed. Giving a sort of womanly war cry, Dani had leapt into the air and came crashing down with her fist into the ground and then her hands started to glow that black aura once more. Charged with energy, the Busty Pugilist did a backflip off the dead branch where the Wasps were and dropped in right in the middle of their little meet and greet. With her hand planted into the ground, she had spun like a top, her feet charged with the force as she spun and spun kicking all the Wasps and getting them caught in her maelstrom attack. When the Punch Art had finished, she had sprung off her arm and back onto her feet. 

The last remaining buzzing Wasp came after her, its stinger poised trying to nail her down for a simple attack. However, despite her 'heavy' frame, the woman was quick on her feet moving in and out of the direction of the attacking stinger. WHen the last stinger attack came forward, her hands started to expel that black aura again and she knelt down towards the ground. She shot upwards with her legs, kicking the Insect  straight in the head. A roundhouse kick came second, squaring it in the belly of the tough exoskeleton. When she turned about, a quick and explosive side kick towards it's weak point was struck and then finally, with her hand rigid and straight, she chopped the creature's head off with a flourish.

The woman had fallen to her one knee after her last strike, the Wind Wasps exploding from sight for a dramatic ending to the battle. She had lifted her body up slowly, and with a swing of her head, the long ponytail swung off her shoulder and she looked over at Aereth and gave him a thumbs up. Even after the drink from that water earlier she had accumulated a great deal of sweat from exerting so much foot and leg work into her attacks. 

"How was that?" @Aereth

"Right. That's easy to remember. Four at a time." The woman replied and she had noticed Aereth had been writing something down in a book. She gave him a look and figured it was just some lesson in training for another day or a note to remind himself of. In either case, she had taken out the Wind Wasps without much of a fuss. She pushed back her long dark hair from her eyes as they adjusted to the dim light in the shadowy forest. She had looked up at the trees as the long limbs looked like crooked fingers snaking their way through one another. It actually looked kinda creepy how they entwined like brown snakes just wrapping into one another like that. Her body gave a small shake of a chill when her brown eyes moved away from the creepy scene. Pushing her shirt down and popping one of her suspender, the woman looked to Aereth and then around herself.

"I don't hear anymore of those Wasps. And I don't see this Queen Bee anywhere. I guess we'll have to fight another round of them and go deeper into the forest." It was a training day for her, that's for certain so bringing up any kind of personal matter might not be a good idea. For the last few nights, there had been no surprises that she was staying with the Player Killer. Her trainer was a person that she found to be someone who was strong and someone who was just as crazy as her when it came to fighting people and having a challenge. So there was an energy between the two. She had sworn off any kind of lasting relationship because whatever it was, it was not going to be a healthy one. So they had talked at length about it, this was just going to be casual. Only casual and nothing else. But she knew there would eventually be a time when she had to explain to him...Why she was sneaking out, more or less. While he slept, she would leave hit place and go back into town. After midnight, she would go to one of those bars and just drink, couldn't get drunk in the game, but she could still drink and it gave her time to be alone. She was sure he would understand that. They had spent a lot of time together since they engaged in this Student-Teacher relationship during the day, and then some wild and crazy kids at night. It was fun, but she needed time for herself and she knew the Boy needed time for himself as well. 

She had only just hoped that it wouldn't lead to anything else. After some time people would eventually develop feelings for one another and that was where she had to draw the line. Aereth. He understood that, hopefully. @Aereth

"Experience is what I need. It can't be helped in a game world where it thrives on that stuff." The woman said with her arms swinging at her sides. When Aereth mentioned some time off she shook her head, "Nah, I can take care of that when I need to. Besides, I am only staying at your place because it is out of conveniance for you. You can't go into towns because of that," she pointed at the top of his head, "And it would make you late more than half the time anyways when we go out to train on certain floors, cause then you have to walk all over the place..." She was making the reasons as she went on and while she was talking there was a flutter of wings nearby. 

"So from what I was told," the woman said squinting and listening for those Wasps' wings, "We need to hunt down a few Wind Wasps before we can draw out the queen. I'll show you what I have studied and practiced, then we can go from there if something is not right with my stances." Deeper into the forest they had gone, pushing aside fallen tree limbs and squashing grass and flower things alike under boot. She paid little attention to the detail of things or the realism in this game, because it was just not necessary. Take away most of the game mechanics and it just feels like waking up on an Older planet Earth. Or less modern...more grass and trees. 

When the Wind Wasps were heard even loud from the flutter of their wings, Dani stood silent. She looked over her shoulder, "I got this." Taking a step forward as three Wind Wasps appeared in front of her. Swinging her arms up to the level of her eyes, the woman looked at each one. She could take them out with a few hits. Boxer's stance and ready, the woman took off with a rush of wind behind her. Her Rock Smashers began to glow an eerie black aura signaling she was stepping into a ready position for her attack. Swinging her arms left and right, she successfully activated <Aggressive Twins> as her super charged punches came in the form of punches. Left and right jabs dotted the bodies of the bugs, showing signs of orange fist marks in their hard shelled bodies. Moving swiftly and bouncing left and right, her fists once against charged into a black aura as she finished them off with another round of the same technique. 

The three Wasps fell towards the ground and shattered in pixels, then she nodded to herself making some victory music with her mouth and stretching her arms out over head, in the process lifting up the crop top over her toned belly and turned to face her Trainer, Aereth. "The Exterminator is here." @Aereth Confident look on her face as she then turned back around, "I sure do hope there are more of them. That wasn't even a work out."

The sound of voice was carried by a rather large swat on her ass. The woman gave a rather sharp and surprised yelp when she felt her butt smacked by something. Turning to notice the familiar voice and the grin on his face, Dani had nearly obliterated him on the spot. "Well, that's one way to greet a woman, I guess. I can honestly say I haven't been slapped on the ass in a manner like that before. Well...No, no, yeah. I guess since the other night when we..." the woman trailed off and gave him a look. 

"Let's keep the kinky [censored] to the bedroom, alright?" The dark haired beauty answered his question with a nod and then another nod when he explained she would be doing most of the work in this quest. That was fine, she would be able to test out some of her new explosive attacks and that would make for a quick training session for at least the Field Boss. She however, still not enjoy the feeling that she had to go out and kill a Wasp, or Queen of the Bees or whatever the quest was about. The idea of having to kill a Godzilla sized creation was kinda disturbing.

Brown eyes set on Aereth and she gave him a nodding gesture, "Yeah, I guess we need to go into that forest now. I still haven't made up my shop yet, been so busy training with you day in and day out." She said with her hand using gestures. But for good cause too, despite his overly flirty attitude, he was a good Trainer. Learning the ins and outs of the game was really helping her and motivating her to stay top notch. Besides some sexual tension the two shared, he also started to help her feel more like a woman as well. The last three nights had been interesting for the two of them. She was awkward at first and the feeling was interesting to be had in a game environment, but she seemed more comfortable with her own womanly functions within this game. She knew he had quite the surprise when she had revealed herself in such a primal fashion the other night. But the bedroom talk was strictly for the bedroom. If he had called her any of those 'other words' in public, she would have decked him off the cliff of Aincrad's tallest mountain. 

@Aereth

Floor Two, it was a meh floor. Somewhat similar to the first, just a lot more trees. Dani was not one to be with nature, she enjoyed large cityscapes, concrete and car exhaust. Minus all the annoying and fussy people. Of course bars littered with smoke and alcohol were something of a past time, she had the same sense of feeling in this world as the last. There was obvious differences of course, she was in a game. And a lot of player were still playing it like they needed to survive this game. It was true, she as well needed to survive. But not for the fact that if she didn't she may or may not be dead in the real world. No, she needed and wanted to survive long enough so she could give herself a name in this world for as long as they were stuck in it. So, each passing day was a new and interesting training session.

And thanks to Aereth, her new Trainer, she was gonna be an Unstoppable Force one of these days. And in order for that to happen, she would have to play the game of numbers like everyone else and that meant boring trips into the forest to kill, "A Wasp Queen..." the woman muttered under her breath as she stared into the darkness of the forest, "Of all the things to kill in this game, a Wasp Queen. I hate bees to begin with and wasps are no fun either. If I am to guess, this thing is gonna be some kind of oversized demon wasp with like six stingers or something..." 

She looked over shoulder as she stretched her arm, "He should be here soon. He better not sneak up on me like last." She said as her eyes scanned the area of any mischievous @Aereths. 

"A force to be reckoned with. I like the sound of that. I already was in the old world, but in this one, I am gonna make that name for myself again. I appreciate you taking the time and energy to train someone like me. I pay back all my debts in kind, so you will get yours whenever you need me for a task. But I can take the beatings as well. I am not some sissy girl, so if there is something tough you want me to do, I can sure as hell tell you now I can do it." 

The woman took a few paces back and got into those starting stances and after what Aereth had said, there would be some flexibility in her movements and stances she could use for these 'sword arts.' The act was simple, but getting the connection is what she needed. So in the Boxer's mind, she would eventually have to find a common ground between what she knows and add on to a new set of skills. It made her excited in all ways, a clear passionate fire resounding in the deep part of her chest and heart. She was going to be either famous or infamous for all her deadly actions. A loud fist in the palm of her hand, "What's next? I am ready to start my hardcore training. Right now. Even if we have to pull an all-nighter."

"Oh! Hey Coach," she used the term loosely because she knew how much he hated to be called that and no doubt she would have to deal with the repercussions of her statement later in private. The woman gave him a cheeky grin and rose her fists to eye level, "These are stunning," motioning her fists, and then she pointed to bathing suit, "This was a mistake. I feel like my boobs are about to pop out of this top any moment. Ahh! Hi...you...?" the woman didn't recognize the other girl and she squinted at her roughly to take in all the details of her body, "Yes. You are perfect. We are gonna play some Volleyball later and you are a must. I mean," Dani gave Aereth a nudge to his shoulder almost whacking his hand and plate. "Check out the bod on her, she is just as fit as I am. WHich means, we will be kicking your ass in Boys vs Girls Volleyball. Ain't that right...E-luuu-seee-ahh? Did I say that right? I'm gonna call you El! And I am Dani! Nice to meetchya!" Rough hands skated towards the woman's hands and she gave her a hearty handshake. 

"All this food is super good. Try it. All. It won't disappoint you. But yeah, I figured since I had the free day from busting my ass off training, I figured a day at the Beach sounded cool! And besides, I didn't get much time to spend at the beach IRL, so this is a bit of a plus. I did a lot of swimming though with weights on. My shoulders and legs hurt like hell all the time. Oh funny story..." Dani began chatting to those who were around, telling this weird story where she was training with this guy and somehow they ended up eating an entire buffet table at one of those Taco Joints in town. 

"Apparently tacos have some great protein." She ended her story. Catching a look at the rolling blue waves, the woman squinted from the sun and shot a look at the players. While Aereth may or may not have been eating, she swung her arm around his neck and leaned in and pulled his head down in the process whispering into his ear, "Your place. Later tonight." She had let him go from their private action and emerged from the group, "I wonder if they got some Alcoholic stuff around here. This girl is thirsty!" @Aereth @Domarus @Hidden

"Daniella! Nice to meetchya!" Cloaks and daggers, being hidden in the shadows, striking from afar. Not her cup of tea. For others who liked and enoyed the game, the ninja aspect seemed like a fun archetype to get into. Dani? Boxer. Brute force. Show up in yo face and kick ya in the ass action star. With the introduction came a sweaty hand as she yanked the mysterious Boy's hand in a tight embrace giving it a hearty shake. 

"Looks like you got yourself all sorts of followers Demon King." The busty pugilist said in a sort of mocking tone. Her dark brown eyes fell upon the two hooded and cloaked warriors, "Well, good to know you guys like to Role Play your classes out to the Mastery Level. So there are those sorts of people in this game. Good to know. Anyways, yeah! I am fundamentally knew on everything. I was an Amateur Boxer in the real world leaning on becoming pro as soon as I could. But games? Am I right?" The woman laughed with a snort, slapping Aereth in the shoulder with her hand. Flicking her hair from off her shoulder and folding her arms under her chest, the woman tilted her hip to one side to lean her weight on one leg. 

"Yeah, I guess if that is the closest thing in this game to Boxing, then I guess I am gonna be a Martial Artist!" the woman then did a mock-ninja noise while making a Bruce Lee monkey noise, like she had seen in his movies. Her stance was all sorts of janky when she did it, but then she relaxed and slid her feet back to the other so she didn't fall flat on her butt. @Aereth @Hidden @Aoda @Hikoru

Cheeks packed full of food, but with her mouth closed and eyes wide open, she looked to the players around her. She chewed and munched, gulped and swallowed before sweeping any food debris from her mouth, "I didn't eat it all!" she said showing that there was still a sizeable amount of food left. The woman took a side step only to [censored] a few orange thingies and cradled them in one hand. With a somewhat shocked expression, the woman blurted out "Dani!" then she pointed to herself with her thumb with her free hand, introductions were so much easier when food was not involved. "I'd shake all your hands but..." the woman's eyes dipped down towards her hand which was holding several orange pieces of food. Could be chicken. Could be fish. Could be anything, but it was so. Freakin'. Good! She had turned her attention back to the buffet table and started to plow and cram more food into her mouth while the others would talk amongst themselves. 

She had felt satisfied, but she didn't know when she was gonna eat this good again. Burping loudly, the woman quickly rose her hand to her mouth and smiled with an audible "Excuse me," before she started dust her hands off of any food debris. There was still so much food left, but she couldn't even eat another bite. When she turned back to the other players, she gave them a two finger salute. "You Boys up for a game of Volleyball later? Nothing says Beach Party without a game of volley!" Excitement in her tone as she turned to the others, then with her confident grin, "Guys versus the girls. Because that's how we roll." Hopefully some other females would start showing up. If not, this could get into some weird sausage party. But on the other hand, guys with hot bods! Who could pass that up! It was like that scene in Top Gun... As Dani was remembering the scene with Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer without their shirt, tanned bodies glistening from sweat... she started to fan herself, "So hot..." she mentioned in a dream like state. 

"Beach party..." The woman said softly reading over the contents of the flyer. With a finger tapping against her mouth, she read it over a few times to see where exactly this place was. Floor 16. Simple enough, and there would be promise of food, good food. Oh she could stuff herself and not gain a single pound from it all. She had been busting her butt off for a while now while training, a day in the fun and sun would do her muscles some good. With a swipe from her menu, the woman was devoured into a light that once faded showed off a Sporty looking two piece. Pale skin was complimented with a size too small bikini top, and a pair of booty shorts that was snug enough to show the curves of her womanly figure. All set in a white and black ensemble, the woman felt she was ready for the waves. Flicking her hair back and pulling the long black strands into a long ponytail, Dani felt like she was ready for such an event.

Being whisked away from the town portal, she had arrived in a location that she found to be strange and different. Navigating herself with her map, the woman was looking up and down like a tourist attempting to make her way to the ocean beach party. After a little while she had found her destination, the crystal blue waters and the sand brought back so many different kinds of memories. People had already showed up and so did this Alliance or Guild who was hosting the party. But there was only one thing on her mind...That sweet, hot looking buffet table. The woman  drove past several different people and looked down at all the food. She was starving and what better time to indulge than now? Forgetting the plate, she rubbed her hands together and started to pick up things and shove them into her mouth one after another. She was chewing as quickly as she could while stuffing more and more finger foods into her mouth. "Ohshogoo." the woman attempted to say with a mouthful. She had looked away from the others to make sure no one was watching her gorge herself  on it. She could do other things later, but right now. Food. Belly. That's all there was to it.

The woman looked at the player and nodded, "Maybe." She said and the proceeded to learn about the new explaination of sword arts, but later she would coin as punch arts because it would be silly to call her fists a sword. But she watched his demonstration of the attack, it looked simple enough and she attempted to copy the stance point for point. It looked a little rigged and too systematic. She was used to moving around and bouncing as a Boxer to keep herself away from another attacking opponent, so being stationary didn't seem like a productive way to start an attack. 

So she lifted her fists and got into stance, perfectly executing the stance. The woman's fists began to glow black. The aura charged through her gloves and fingers and she relaxed her muscles. Moving towards her opponent, the woman threw the punch that was intended to strike his jaw, but she fell short of the attack.

"Ahh, looks like I got to work on aiming a bit. It is different than a boxer's punch, I'm used to moving and working my arms with my legs. So it's a new stance that I have to get used to. I don't like staying in one place, in the ring that means you are a target. I'll try it again until I can land a blow. But I understand what you mean, I was able to get the stance down, I just need to connect." @Aereth

Instructions. The woman rapidly began to do what Aereth was telling her at the speed in which he was going. However the busty pugilist was not as familiar with the menu as she had thought, "Woa, woa, woa. Hold on a sec, I'm still trying to get this..." The woman said looking down at her menu, each step she started to reprocess from the moment ago to now and then she began to understand more and more things, "Oh hey, ya know there is an option in here that let's you unpixelate yourself? The..." the woman squinted her eyes as if she was trying to read the word and phrase right before saying something stupid, "...Ethics Code Menu...I might have to try this out later." 

The woman than looked up and swiped her hand across her menu to dismiss the translucent box, "Alright. Skill Points added and ready to learn!" When Aereth explained about the safe zone, she nearly sputtered about and laughed at him while pointing to his crystal, "I got it now. You can't because you are an Orange. Nah, this place is fine enough. Besides, I don't think you want other players finding out you got a crazy bitch running around with you calling you Coach and whatnot. Anyways, we can do it. I don't mind the open space." 

She had gestured to the open world around her and got into her boxer's stance and started to punch the air while he legs moved left and right with a bounce in her step, "I'm ready to play when you are. Wam! Bam! Ka-Pow!" @Aereth

"I'm more of a one on one kinda chick." Dani had stated and crossed her arms over her chest signaling she had forfeited her side of the battle. She was not going to do anything to this guy besides embarrass herself further and if he really wanted to know how passionate she was about fighting, they could meet up another time. But it was clear that he could take a beating especially from a weapon user. The woman looked over to the cloaked player, an eye on the dagger as she rolled her eyes slightly. Weapons were clunky even small daggers. She had to deal with a whole lot of bums and thugs back in her home town, besides being a Boxer she knew how to defend herself and how easily it was to rip a dagger away from someone's hand. And also being a Boxer, she knew how fragile a human hand can be when twisted in the wrong direction. 

So instead when the familiar seemed to break out in a stare down contest, the woman once more backed away and looked on towards the fight. Then there was movement, another player seemed to join there little group. Of course there was already a duel going on, but Dani honestly didn't care about that and they would be preoccupied with that. With a small jogging bounce, the woman in the tight crop top shirt slid forward with a big smile on her face, dark hair billowing behind her as it settled when she stopped, "Hey there, Boy! Did you plan on getting in some of this action?" she said with her thumb pointed towards the group. She had looked up him up and down and then she smiled mischievously for no other reason. @Aereth @Aoda
