Ruby

Ruby had nodded her head as Hei had thanked her for the information that she had shared. "Nah there is no need to thank me, its fairly common knowledge. I have never actually gotten to see what the boss looks like or how strong it is but... I can only prepare for the worst I assume." she chuckled. The bartender had gotten back to Ruby and asked of her is she wanted another drink in which she had stated out to him that she was fine and didn't want another drink. She then looked over when Hei had asked of her if she wanted to borrow something from her shop and she had said out to him "Thanks for the offer, but I am trying to save up to get some equipment anyways so I'll remind myself about that when I get the funds to do so. From what I have heard the Avalanche should be easy enough where I can do a pretty good amount of damage towards it... or at least thats what I heard." she said out to him stretching her arms upward before standing up.

@Hei

After a few moments after ordering her drink she had looked over to a female player with a hood over her head tapping the counter... now this would seem rather odd to wear a hood in a bar especially in a friendly one like this, so there must have been something wrong with the poor girl. Before she made a move the bartender had came back with both of their drinks, Ruby had thanked her for the drink and then scooted over to the next seat while taking a sip. She then let out a voice for the female next to her to hear "You look visibly distraught. Something wrong?" she then took another sip of her drink and then exclaimed out to her "I know you are at least upset. It's not everyday a female player walks in with a hood over her head to hide herself from the world while getting a drink... wouldn't you say?" she looked over with a smile before patting her on the back "I'm not forcing you to say anything though, just simply curious is all."

@Birdie

Ruby had chuckled as they has all taken her bluff and ran away like a coward, once they were gone she had taken a deep breath and let out a laugh "Oh those guys are so dumb. Looks like they got no smarts behind em'" she then looked to Telrenya that had elegantly thanked her and introduced her to her, she had offered her a smile and jokingly said "All I get is a thank you? No kiss on the cheek? Bummer.." she then looked at Telrenya and said "There's no need to thank me Telrenya, but you gotta stand up for yourself. Theres a lot of desperate guys out there, a cutie like you would be swarmed with those who are trying to "get some"." she then offered a hand out ward and said out to her "I'm Ruby, it's a pleasure to meet you on a beautiful day like today." she gave her a smile. "So how did ya even get into that mess? Tried to find friendly people to go on a quest with you? I've been there before."

@Telrenya

Ruby had listened to Hei speak as she had slowly taken sips of her wine and she was surprised that she had no idea about the re birthed boss, she had looked over after taking another sip and said "Recently in Aincrad, 3 bosses have been seen with Evolution. The Wasp Queen, the Sand Shark, and well as you guess the Avalanche, I have heard they are extremely hard though." she had said with a look that puts emphasis on hard. She eventually nodded her head and said to her "I would appreciate the help, it's better than doing it alone I suppose. Guess where gonna party for a short time Hei." she said as she had opened her menu's and sent a party request to Hei. She took the drink in front of her and finished it off, it was quite refreshing and she did like the taste a lot. Its a blessing that you cannot get drunk on Sword Art Online, that would lead to dangerous situations.

@Hei

Ruby had chuckled after he had choked on his drink from her comment or question that she had exchanged to him. "Ahhh... I gotcha, Floor 5 is more my style to me. I don't have to wear all this heavy clothing." she said hating this coat wanting to take it off but she would be too cold otherwise. So it was damned if she did, damned if she didn't. Ruby had gotten a grin as she had forgotten to introduce herself but her grin quickly turned back into a smile "Ah ah, so sorry. The name's Ruby. And I was mainly looking to do the Avalanche. Not the re birthed Absolute Zero, the beginner or- rather... easier variant of the Avalanche, just trying to get some SP to get some of the things I need for my build. I am getting pretty well off when it comes to my build." she said pretty proud of her current build and how it has been growing. She had taken another sip of her drink and eventually took another, and eventually placed it back down... she wanted to enjoy this drink.

@Hei

"As you wish." the man had spoken to Hei as he had placed his order, Ruby didn't think much about listening in on what other people order's but when there is nobody in the bar... its kind of hard not to hear it. Then she had looked over as the man began to introduce himself, he was straight forward to say the least but hey she gave him a little credit for doing so. She had offered him a smile and said to him "Why hello Hei, its a pleasure to meet you today. Emerald Harbingers you say? Can't say I know that guild. And yeah... I hate this floor. I am only here to get some questing done is all." she had said as their drinks had arrived. Ruby had grabbed her glass of fine sweet wine and gave the man a thank you and a wink before taking a sip of the wine, and boy did it taste good. She then placed the drink in front of her and said as she looked over "So what brings you around this floor? Got somewhere to be? A hot date in a few minutes?" she chuckled.

@Hei

Ruby had teleported to Floor 3, it has been a while since she has seen this floor... she remembers the time with her old party of friends that she used to explore with... one of them really loved this floor and Ruby really never understood why... until now, this floor along with many MANY other floors was just genuinely beautiful. She never really got to appreciate the beauty of this game till now, its making her... a little more romantic for some reason. However now was not the time to be flirting with females, she had some SP to get. She needs to complete her quests and get her name known to the front lines. But for now... she wanted a quick drink. She had entered a bar on the floor and took a seat on one of the stools in the bar and said out to the female behind the counter "A sweet wine please." she said with a smile as she sat there patiently waiting.

@Birdie

Ruby absolutely... HATED this floor, she liked to where her typical clothing but today she had to wear a heavy winter coat and better suitable gear to handle with this kind of weather. She had shivered a bit but she was a though girl, she could get through this weather. However she was here for one reason and one reason only... and that was to fight the boss on this floor named the "Avalanche" however not the Absolute Zero variant, even though she is level 40... she has literally no real equipment with enhancements at the moment and she doesn't quite believe in her skills at the moment. However she wanted to spent a moment to get a little more warm and get a drink or two while she was at it, so the pub was where she was going... despite this floor being the most popular... its a little slow today. She had took a seat on the bar stood and said out to the man "Just a sweet wine if you don't mind." she said out to him.

@Hei

A couple of moments have been spent of just enjoying the view, while she would like to argue that its not a bad idea to enjoy the views that was around her to remove some stress... when you have no items or general direction to really go off of she needed to get back to work and try to find these damn materials. She had let out a sigh as she knew she needed to get back to work on finding these materials, she had tore her eyes from the view that was around her and looked upon the plants that was before her and began to look for any form of cotton that would be of any use. And of course, Ruby did not find anything that she could use... "I figured this would happen." she had let out a sigh, as she had stood up and moved over to a new spot to continue looking elsewhere.

Ruby watched as these men tried to make excuses for themselves as they tried to make her go away, but regardless this only made Ruby more mad towards them. Ruby did not believe anything and the female player over there had gotten a little more determined but she was still frightened at least. Ruby looked at one of the guys and said as she threw the rope behind her "Playing around huh? From the way she gave a reply it sounds like you are thinking with your private parts more than your mind it had seemed." she attempted to throw a punch at the guy but all that had happened was the "Immortal Object" sign appeared and the guy had fallen to the ground "I may not be able to hurt you in a safe zone, but attempting to push you around is damn fun." she cracked her knuckles a bit "I'm giving you one last warning fellow. You move outta here and nothing bad will happen to you. If you don't leave... well, Aincrad's gonna have 3 less people." she looked at them with a glare "Make a choice." she growled.

@Telrenya

Life had been going as usual as she had been looking around trying to find someone to go one the quest along with her or at least try to help her out in completing the task that was at hand. Then out of no where a dragon familiar had gotten onto her hair, now typically a person would be angered upon this however she had looked up and saw that it meant practically no harm towards her... and the poor little guy or girl looks kinda cute. Ruby had moved her hands to the dragon as she had held it off her head and in front of her was a player being followed by a female player. Ruby had shook her head as she had exclaimed out with a smile "No no, its okay. This little girl or guy is actually pretty cute. Here's your dragon back." she moved the dragon forward towards the player and said to him "My name's Ruby. I am just looking for someone to help me out with the Earning a Living Quest, i'm looking to be a tailor. And I assume the girl following you is your friend?" she said giving the female character a smile recognizing that she is there.

@Itzal @Kasier

Ruby had somewhat of a grin on her face as she had spent the next few minutes looking at the cotton plants to see if there was any worth while cotton she could pick as a material. However she couldn't find another that was good enough, majority of them had either been ripe, already picked, or its durability was going short. She had let out a sigh and stood up and went to move to another location, of course she did spend some time before getting to the next spot to enjoy the atmosphere around her. She loved to see something like this, and then thought to herself that there was no way in hell that she could find another sight like this on earth... or rather the real world. She had felt so alive here, probably more so than in the real world... she knew her confidence was growing more and more as time had passed here.

After finding another material that she could find, she had looked up as the wind kicked up a bit... it felt, good. But it was so unreal that again, this was just a game, she never really got to spend a moment to realize how beautiful this world really was despite it being really dangerous. She smiled and looked back to the cotton and continued to look around for another material that she could use... unfortunately she couldn't find another one that she could use. "What a shame..." she thought to herself with a grin, however she had just stood up and moved to another spot to continue looking, it was that simple. And to how simple it was it had also felt... tedious. Something about this was just a endless task that also wasn't fun. She had just wanted to enjoy the weather, however she had to find these materials.

Ruby let out a sigh, as much as she would like to continuously enjoy the view... she needed to get back to work... she needed to find some materials to use for her upcoming profession that she wants to get. She couldn't wait another day without being a tailor, she had spent the last two years being in Aincrad just in a party of players gaining EXP and not doing a damn thing about her excitement towards the profession she really REALLY wants. And after those thoughts she had gotten herself excited again... dang it. She spent the last few moments thinking into space on what she was going to make first... the plushy she really wants... a piece of clothing want. However in between those thoughts she had eventually found another piece of cotton that she could use. Lucky day! She had taken the material and placed it into her inventory.

After finding a perfect quality piece of cotton- or just a really good material that she could use she spent the next few minutes looking around in that general area if she could find anything of use while she was in the spot. And after a bit of searching... well, she didn't find anything of use. She had let out a sigh, she knew it was too good to be true to find another good material with another one, like the saying goes "One bad apple can spoil the bunch" she supposed. It was a blessing that she even got to find one material from this all. She had looked around, there was a lot to this field that she could check... however she doubted in her mind that she would spend the rest of the day looking for materials from this field. But if she could, she knew that she would. She giggled on the thought of searching this entire field.

After walking into the cotton field she took the environment in for a moment... it truly was hard to believe that a game like this was exactly that, a game. She had smiled, she never really got to appreciate the environment till now... its like a breath of fresh air... she had been mostly slaving over parties needing their healing since day one and never got to be by herself and do her own quests and be well... independent. She's really glad she had gotten up to this point. Despite this game being a death trap, it was very beautiful in a interesting way, we are all 1's and 0's in this Virtual World, almost living our own new lives... and its not so bad. Out of the corner of her eye she had seen a piece of cotton with a golden glow... which only means one thing... its a perfect quality! She quickly went over to the cotton she had seen and picked it off the plant, she applauded herself for spotting that one.

Ruby had walked down the streets of the town of beginnings, man did this floor start to become more and more less active... something that she thought she would never see the light of day. "Guess anything is possible. I suppose." she said when looking around, then out of the corner of her eye down a path lied three creepy men trying to party up with a female... she stood behind a wall and listened to their conversation to see if she is any trouble, and after staying for a bit, she was right... they were creepy. Ruby cut the corner and said out to the three men "Hey! You! Desperate A B and Thing, you looking to hang out?" she said as she strutted down the path as she had grabbed some rope that was nearby stall only for just a moment and held it tightly pulling against it on both her hands as she stopped walking "I can make that happen if you don't leave her alone. People like you make me sick." she said with a angered expression.

@Telrenya

Ruby after walking away from the spot where she had found a rotting and decayed material kept moving forward to another spot to hopefully find more materials that she could use. Ruby got onto her knees and moved her hands through some of the plants that held cotton, some picked... and some of the cotton's durability is going away so it was going to break before Ruby could even use the damned things. She looked very thoroughly through the cotton plants and eventually found!... nothing. Ruby grinned and got up brushing her hand on her knees and moving into the field of cotton plants to hopefully find some useful cotton... making a plushy sounds more and more desirable lately. She wants to make some form of plushy, she doesn't know of what though yet. She shook her head with a giggle, she can think about this sort of thing when her store is up and running in the near future.

Ruby had made it to the location where she could meet the NPC to help her out to become a Tailor, she was extremely eager and had twinkles in her eyes as the man had explained to her what she needed to do, it actually was quite simple: find some materials, successfully create something and he'll give her a tool to create future items with. Simple enough, Ruby fully heartily accepted the quest and stepped outside, she knew that she didn't want to do another quest on her own, after the Long Live the Queen and how short that took to complete she had a lot of time in her hands, so she began to look around for someone friendly enough to help her out on the quest, however this is floor 1 so the activity of this floor have been slowly and slowly becoming more and more sparce as of the late so finding another player to help her out seems... a little more challenging this time around.

After her first success in finding a material she was already starting to feel a little excited to be getting closer and closer to becoming a Tailor in the near future. She had looked around the area to keep trying to find some materials, so far she had gotten some lady luck so hopefully this area will contain some more useful materials that she can use. And after a bit of searching it had seemed that she had found something worth while but she had turned the thing around and found that it was decaying and gross. Ruby let out a squeal as she tossed the item forward before it exploded into white crystals stating out "Ew! Gross! Screw this spot!" she then marched forward anywhere but the spot she had been at currently. She looked behind her and let out a puff as she had sighed "All I want are some good materials... that's all I ask for." she then began to look around.

With that, Ruby had turned the other way with a foot extended forward to take a step. She continued walking forward and thought to herself for a moment "Well... what do I do now... I guess I could spend some time finding materials after meeting the quota's for Martial Arts." that being said she knew that she wasn't going to do any more fighting today so she had put the last point of SP into the skill. She had felt very accomplished in doing this... she finally got a weapon skill grand mastered so she can defend herself and push her forward instead of relying on other players to get things done for her. Even though she had only done one quest with someone else, it was still something she probably would of at hen sight wanted to do by herself, but without Kooh... who knows how long that would have taken.

Ruby had spent a little time relaxing on the first floor, she figured while she was here that she would get herself a profession, and without a doubt in her mind does she know the profession that she has in mind... she REALLY wants to be a tailor, she loves clothing and she can't really urge herself to be anything else other than it. However, to even become this profession... she's gonna need materials, and... well, she doesn't really have the skills for that sort of thing. She stood up from the bench she was sitting on and fixed her clothing that she had on to be straight, so no one would get any ideas... not like players don't already have such a thing. And she began to walk forward, she doesn't expect to find anyone quick like she had done yesterday with Kooh, but you never know, this world is full of mysteries and things you just cannot explain. Other than that, she was extremely excited to become a tailor and would do anything to get to that point.

@Itzal @Kasier

Thus the battle had begun and she had watched the spiratic movements of the Wasp Queen as she had flown through the air here and there and everywhere... much like a bug in the real world except more... small than this. This bug was exceptionally HUGE and it even gave Ruby the creeps... however she shook her head, she was not going to let something like this get to the best of her. While in her thoughts she was stung by the Wasp Queen... and while she would say it did hurt, more so to her HP she didn't get to feel a thing due the pain restrictions. Ruby's arms had glowed a darker red as she had jumped up and punched the Wasp Queen as hard as she could at the weak points... and wouldn't you know it... she had one shot the poor creature. Ruby blinked twice, then stood from her victory and said "Well. That was easy."
