  1. Silver looked at the vile briefly grabbing it and inspecting the fluid. Giving it back to the woman, Silver spoke. “So you make these strange substances as an occupation, huh? How intriguing! You must be quite the mistress of chemistry to be able to create such things!” Silver thought for a moment before speaking again. “How did you obtain such an occupation?” In his original realm, Silver had been a resonance man, having picked up many different trades whilst traveling with his father. He constantly studied various aspects of Science, Math, English, and Engineering. This was all so new to him however, such a different sort of process that he would have to completely reeducate himself in order to succeed in any occupation. 
    He noted now quiet Koal who was with them. Silver turned to the man and spoke with a warm smile. “What do you think of such things, Master Koal? The wonders in occupation in this world. For someone who seems to have such confidence, you surly must know something about it yourself!”

  2. Silver did not find himself at the edge of the river long before his friend approached. Silver looked hag her with a warm smile, he was sitting with knee up and the other leg so that the foot pointed at the first. “Greetings, how hath the day faired thee?” He chuckled at her mention of having been in bed. “That is not uncommon for you, it’s good to know you haven’t lost yourself. No need to be apologetic, I have no problem waiting for you." With the last sentence Silver gave Katherine a wink, closong his blue eye, before he looked back at the water, waiting for her to sit down beside him. There was a large amount of nostalgia in this place, and he intended to take it in stride. 
    Silver thought back to all the places he had been, his dad oft traveled with his work and Silver would tag along. Moving from one town to another, even from country to country from time to time. Silver hadn't been in the location where he met Katherine long before he actually met her. After they became friends he made a deal with his father to allow Silver to stay in that town whilst his father continued on with business.  Katherine had never met Silvers father, Silver had always made an excuse for his father’s absence when she came over.

  3. Silver assumed that something like this would happened, he felt the tingle in his leg and his smile widened. Soon he hit the ground, his eyes were alight with joy as he laughed. It was innocent laughter, something of a long chuckle, nothing particularly odd about it, save the circumstance could make him seem like a madman, depending on their outlook. Something had clicked in Silvers mind, quickly he searched for the right memory like he was going through files, photographic memory was amazing when it was needed. He had kept a journal in the real world that had a lock on it that Silver forged  himself. He had a page for everyone he met, that recorded every aspect of them that Silver knew. No one new about this, Silver didn’t even think Katherine did unless she had seen him writing in it while she was at his house during the incident. Though to Silver's knowledge she was always sleeping while he wrote.
    “I thought I recognized you” Silver said to Stryder, unable to move his head to look at the man. “Stryder, born in Australia, Sixteen years ago. Eager gamer, dabbling in videogames and forums alike. Resides from wealth, never trusted anyone he met face to face. Confided his life to a small group, or even one person online, primarily to a forum user half the world around him the he knew as Thorsten. He saw Thorsten as a brother. Stryder blamed himself for his many faults, went through a vast amount of trials. Warned that he would be inactive on the forum and the chat for a few weeks because he was visiting Japan. Stryder's personality is caring and defensive, unsure and untrusting. Cautious and timid. Careful with the potential of becoming leaderly. Most of all protective. I remember the tales we shared vividly, our conversations as well. I remember the advice I gave you. Most of all I remember telling you to not give in to the horrors inside you, I told you to open your heart without wearing it on your sleeve. I wonder if you have accepted this advice yet. ” Silver smiled. “Mind giving me a hand up, friend?”
    @Eatos

  4. Silver received word from a man he had met once before in the cold. The man, his guild leader, had invited him to join something on the fifth floor. Lucky for Silver, he was already on the floor. The problem was he didn’t know how to operate the coordinates. So, he stood up on the building which he was perched and ran across the top of the surrounding buildings until he found the lovely bunch of people. He then ran around them as to be behind Stryder and walked up softly as if to sneak up on Stry and placed his hand on Stryder's shoulder from behind. “Greetings, I hope I am not tardy in my appearance.” He then approached every guild member there and gave them a greeting.

    He startes with @Stryder, extending a hand for a handshake. "Good day, my valued friend!" He then walked to @Saphira, also offering a hand to her. "I hope the day fairs thee well!" 

    He then walked to @Fae, placing his hand on Fae’s head, and bending to her level whilst giving her a warm smile, "Be strong Fae, I may be relying on you for pretection if we run into trouble" he didnt actually intend for her to defend him, but instead to boost her confidence and allow for some excitement.

    He the approached Katherine and offered her a hug, after giving her a respectful bow. "It is wonderful to see you today, mistress."

    He then stepped beside @Eatos, and slightly in front of her as if to be in the way if emergency struck, and looked at Stryder “So, what is our product today, Mr. Stryder?"

  5. Silver observed how Fae acted, smiling as she did so. He wondered if she had the same intrinsic ability to embrace the unchanging happiness of life. It was a quality that children had and not many kept a bold on. Fae asked Silver if he had a caretaker, he walked up to her and smiled, leaning down so that he was on her level of height, “No, I don’t have a caretaker. In fact, much the opposite. I, myself, am a caretaker. Everyone needs a caretaker every now and then. It has nothing to do with strength.” He placed his hand on her head. “That said if you need anything, feel free to ask me. I may not bee much in the means of money but I have been called a sage by some, an advisor by most, and a friend by few. No matter the cost to me, if I can help you I will.” Silver then scared a circle around Fae and continued to walk forward. 
    “So, Mademoiselle Fae, what is it the youth of today does for fun? And what of it do you enjoy?”
    @Fae

  6. Silver found himself in Lazaro. He was observing the fish in the river water and reminisced on how advantageous it was for him to fish and calm his mind doing so in the realm in which he came from. He wondered how Kathrine was holding up and remembered the times that she would find him on the lakeside when she needed help. Silver sent her a message.
    “My dearest Kathrine,
    I find myself today on the twelfth floor of the Castle Aincrad. I have observed this place to have some striking resemblances to the woods near our hometown. It would be fantastically wondrous for you to join me here. Perhaps we can talk about the times long passed or begin to create new journeys in the present. You may find me on the shore of the river, 500 meters south of the transport.
    Best wishes,
    Silver”

    With that, he made his way to the location and sat down, happily awaiting the arrival of his friend.

    @Eatos
     

  7. Silver shook his head at the statement of being overly sentimental. “While it is true that you have a tendency to be caught up in the past. I will say not to forget about it, while yes things can’t be changed and it is best not to focus on the things long gone, if you fail to hold onto the past then you will find yourself unable to discern who you are and where you came from.”


    After Silver had his attention grabbed by the man in the tree, Kathrine had gotten behind him as they had in times long sense passed. Silver adjusted his footing after she did this, not raising his hands. He was a master of many martial arts styles and preferred to be at the ready with his hands at his sides instead of locating them in front of him as though to threaten the potential opponent. He knew Kathrine would recognize the stance, it was the stance he took for using styles of ‘Empty Gie Judo’ -though it was his personal variation of it- he had used it to best her on the mat whenever she got overly presumptuous. He was able to throw someone to the ground with what seemed like the flick of his wrist, all he needed was a place to get a firm grip on someone, even a handshake could lead to the opponent being thrown to the ground. To an outsider, and someone not trained to notice the variation of the style Silver had crafted over the years, it didn’t seem like a fighting stance. Instead, it gave an open, welcoming aura.


    The man Silver had yelled at fell out of the tree after having been spotted. It seemed that the man had taken quite a hard fall but still got up appearing undamaged. Silver waited for Stryder, as the man introduced himself to be, to finish talking before speaking up himself. “Hello there, I am Silver ‘Thorsten’ Zevulum. I am a long time adviser and friend to Kathrine, or as you know here Eatos.” Silver said a warm smile on his face and the sun light glistening off his heterochromatic eyes. He then gave a respectful bow. “It truly is an honor to meet someone willing to assist in the protection of Kathrine's well being and the cultivation of her abilities.” Silver then put his hand out and grabbed Stryder’s outstretched arm. Silver instead of getting a grip on Stryder’s hand, however, grabbed Stryders forearm. Silver's grip was gental but unmoving and with a lighthearted smile, and the flick of Silvers wrist, Stryder was on the ground having been thrown a few feet away. It did no damage to Stryder, just throwing him back. Silver approached Stryder in a calm and welcoming way.


    “Let me make myself very clear” Silver said with a warm, calm voice. “If you ever hurt Kathrine, I will be the last person you will ever see. So, please, try to keep that in mind” Silver gave Stryder a warm smile and offered a hand to help him up.
    @Eatos

  8. The first person Silver was approached by was Saphira. She seemed either shy or skeptical in her approach. Silver smiled at her, the light glistening off of his heterochromatic eyes. “Indeed I am Silver ‘Thorsten’ Zevulum. You must be Saphira, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance! I have the intention of getting to know you as best I can. I am the head of the Advisors in the guild and thus it is in my best interest to get to know each member to the best of my ability. That said, I also implore you to join me on a quest so that we may gain some much needed resources in the process. I have directed an inquiry to a man of legend, said to be cloaked in the vail of shadows. I plan to ask this man for his assistance in the quest both for our protection and to better gain an understanding for his power’s and the strange ability he holds.” 
    After he finished, Silver heard another voice. Silver looked to the man and gave a warm smile before standing up and giving a respectful bow. “I am Silver ‘Thorsten’ Zevulum, The Guiding Aroura of the Guardians of the New Dawn. I called you here, as I mentioned, to inquire about your talents and the strange ability that I had heard about through those who spread rumors. If you would oblige, I wish to have you accompany myself and my guild mate, Saphira” Silver motions to the cloaked woman beside him, “In the quest known as ‘Long live the queen’. This way I can pick at your mind about some of the most magnificent things that I am sure you have witnessed and I can assess the strange power set that you do so possess.”
    @Saphira

  9. Silver nodded “I appreciate the information, Mr. Pinball and I appreciate the reassurance Mr. Spencer. I do very much hope to get to her, for what is an adviser without someone to give advice to. Not to mention that I made a promise to her a long time ago, and I never go back on my word.” He smiled at Spencer’s ambitions. “I have no doubt that you will make your goal. Back when I started martial arts, I told myself that I would achieve the rank of black belt within the cycle in which I started. After much determination, training, and effort. I successfully accomplished my goal in half the time. If you have the drive and determination, which it indubitably appears you do, you will have no trouble obtaining your goal in a quick fashion. 
    Pinball then asked what the group had been up to before they had greeted each other. “I had been observing the beauty of this land in order to calm my every stirring nerves. The time I have waisted in distain for my inability to find my friend has cost me dearly and I knew that if I did not adjust my outlook and method of thought I would lose even more time. Thus I came here to see what the day doth bring, to allow the wind to carry my thoughts, and to allow the sunlight to wash away my troubles.”
    @Spencer

  10. Silver noted the girl’s childish demeanor and method of speech. It was queer to listen to someone speaking in the third person but Silver judged that the girl in front of him may be an actual child and not just a childish adult. He smiled at her, his heterochromatic eyes continuing to glisten.  Once she had explained her reasoning for being out on this floor Silver chuckled and proceeded to walk onto the ice. “I came here to think and observe what the day had in store for me. Whilst I had not expected this, I am happy to oblige whatever caused you to be directed my direction.” He started to skate around the lake, altering the volume of his voice depending on where he was on the lake. This caused any listener to hear a constant volume instead of the normal sound of a person getting closer or farther away. “I do not wish to insult you but I wonder why you are out here alone. Not many are brave enough to do so, the fear of death looms overhead in every circumstance. Furthermore, I must inquire, Do you have a caretaker? I have no doubt that you can care for yourself, however it is a most cherished thing to have, someone to take care of you, at the age in which you seem to be.” Silver hoped he hadn’t offended the girl in any way, though he would be unsure as to why he had if she became offended.

    @Fae

  11. Silver sat atop a building in the town of Urbus. He observed the rising sun and marveled in its beauty. He began to think of the strange things he had heard and witnessed in the strange realm he currently resided in. One thing came to mind, a strange man  named ‘Hikoru The Master of Shadows’. He decided that he should contact this man and inquire about the strange rumors. Whilst he was opening his messenger he also noticed another strange aspect. Someone he had yet to meet, a player named Saphira who was in his guild. He elected to contact them both.
    Silver building hopped for a bit until he found a tree he could use to swing down. He landed harder then he would have liked. 
    Finding a bench to sit upon he sent a message to @Saphira “Greetings my guild mate, I am Silver ‘Thorsten’ Zevulum. The Guiding Aroura of the Guardians of the New Dawn. I wish to speak with you if you find yourself with the time. I am on the second floor in Urbus close to the center of town on a bench. Please come if you can”
    Next he sent a message to @Hikoru “Good morning Master of Shadows. I am Silver ‘Thorsten’ Zevulum, I am absolutely inriuged by the rumors of you abilities and would like to make your aquantance as to potentially inquire further as to their origin and their function. If you find the time I am on the second floor near the center of the city of Urbus. You will be able to identify me by my heterochromatic eyes and pinkish hair. I sincerely thank you for your time.”
     

  12. It was pleasantly surprising to observe the openness Spencer shoes to the game and making new friends. However, Silver was curious to Pinballs reasoning behind his caution, though felt it would be a question for the future. Spencer said something about growing higher in level. “The time will come for you to show the world what you are made of.” He said with joy to Spencer. “Perhaps on day you will surpass the most powerful of frontliners. All you have to do is decide to do so, make your path and the world will follow!” 
    He then heard Pinball speak to respond to Silvers inquiries about Kathrine. “I must say, I do not know who she has become, nor any hobbies or pets she has acquired after entering this realm. Only what she looked like and who she was before this game. I severed her loyally as an advisor and a friend through our relationship in the world we came from. I need to finder her, and nothing I have tried thus far has succeeded.” Silver looked back to the field swallowing his tears and anger from his inability to find his lost companion. He clenched his fists which were hanging at his side and took a deep breath before regaining his content composure and turning back to the group.

  13. The calm air and gentle sounds around Silver were magnificent. Suddenly he heard a voice call for him from the distance. Turning to see whom it was that would be attempting to secure his attention he saw a girl, not yet a woman. She was small, a little over half Silvers own height. Her hair was bright pink and she had turquoise green eyes that spoke of the innocence of youth.
    Silver had not met this player before and greeted her with a kind smile before standing up, his heterochromatic eyes still glistening in the light of the sun. “Greetings, my friend! I am Silver ‘Thorsten’ Zevulum.” Silver said, his thick northern English accent showing through his speech and his voice booming around, echoing slightly. “To whom do I owe the pleasure this fine day? And what brings you to the wondrous land of ice and snow that glistens in the sun around us?” 
    Silver was not the best when it came to talking to people, he tended to words that most people would not know and some had thought he was roleplaying as he was in the game. This however was far from the truth. This was, instead the normal way he talked to people.
    @Fae

  14. Silver found himself on the fourth floor once again, he sat at Frostbite Lake observing the area around him. The light of the sun glistened off his heterochromatic eyes. He wondered what was new in this world, though he was not one to attempt to learn these things first, instead he would wait for when the time was right to figure out about the strange world. He listened to the birds chirp around him and watched as the sun seemed to shimmer on the frozen water. He observed his surrounding with happiness. Resistance had treated him in a very fair manner thus far and he was sure that it would continue to treat him this way. 
    “I wonder, what it is like to be a bird in the skies. How free they are such vigorous freedom that they experience, such wonder they get to see. What knowledge must they have from the things they observe, perched on their branches and flying through the sky.” He said
    Silver was content with life, it could be heard in his voice how majestic he found the world. He knew that He could be happy if he so chose to be and was always eager to learn about the experiences of those he meets and the wonders of the world.
    @Fae

  15. I think that the integration is well done, though there are some ambiguities as to what happens if caught by a guard. I am glad to finally see that orange players can enter safe zones however. I do, however, think the <<Redemption>> quest should be available past the 4th infraction personally. This would allow for people who have had more than 4 to change their ways down the line. I.E. someone is a chronic thief and they want to change

    I disagree with Jomei however. While I agree there should be some notice, especially if it is an OP, it would be near pointless to have a PK system and not have an element of surprise to it. 

  16. Silver found himself on the first floor, sitting atop a building. He was observing the magnificence of his surroundings and noticed a small gathering of beings nearby. Curious, he jumped from building top to building top before he found a tree that he could use to climb down. Landing gracefully, he noticed that one of the people in the congregation was a man he knew. Approaching them, Silver gave the group a friendly and excited smile, his heterochromatic eyes glistening in the sunlight. “Hello there Stryder, how does the day fair thee?” As he spoke Silver’s thick northern English accent came through strong. “I hope that you find yourself well.” He then turned to the other two standing before him. “My apologies for my interruption. I am Silver ‘Thorsten’ Zevulum. It is my sincere pleasure to make your acquaintance. You may call me Silver or Thorsten, whichever you prefer. If you wish to call me a name derived of ether one, that is welcomed as well.” Silver bowed at the group as he introduced himself. He then returned to his relaxed figure and awaited the responses of those around him.

    @Jomei @Stryder @Krysta

  17. Silver looked at the two, pleased with the turn of the tides. “Marvelous, lead the way my friends.” He then heard Aster once again mention Alchemy. “What is this ‘Alchemy’ you refer to? And, furthermore, what purpose does it serve? I haven’t known of such things and they seem to be quite intriguing.” Such strange things had he seen and learned about in this strange Castle. He wondered about the origin of such strangeness. It seemed that these two had good intentions and perhaps he had something in common with the shy Aster. While he wasn’t quite sure about this ‘Koal’ character, Silver was happy to believe he was of good intention. 
    Silver then looked around to see the fields before them. “Isn’t it marvelous?” he asked, a sparkle in his eye, “The world around me amazes me everywhere I look. The detail is exquisite and the nature is so lush and vibrant. It makes me wonder how real this land really is, even those who are psutopeople have some sort of personality to them, perhaps even a mind of their own! It is quite intriguing to think that such a place could exist. The vast amount of intellect necessary to accomplish such a task would be quite fantastic as well I would assume.”
    @Aster

  18. Silver nodded smiling. “I find myself in this Castle Aincrad out of friendship. A woman with blue hair, amber eyes, and is about five feet-eight inches tall, that I knew from the life we came from. I had intended to surprise her with my being here, though I never was able to find her I am sad to say. I spent my time thus far attempting to cope with my inability to find my companion to no avail. If either of you know of someone that matches that description, I would appreciate the information. I made a promise to her that I plan to keep. As for my being here, I have decided that I am no longer in need of anger and will start making life better for myself and explore the strange world around us.” Silver opened his arms “Just looked at the field in front of us! The nature here is simply amazing, the expertly crafted greenery, from the grass to the bugs, even the psutopeople have personalities of their own! This really is its own world.” Silver attempted to make out what Pinball had said but couldn’t make it out. Silver then turned to the man, and with a friendly smile and a glisten in his eyes said “I’m sorry, my friend, I was unable to pick up on what you said, would you be willing to speak up a bit? Perhaps my some of my rounds in the ring have slightly damaged my ability to understand what you said.”

    (Thorsten is describing Eatos btw @Pinball)

    @Spencer

  19. Silver was pleased to have such a prompt and cheery response. It was simply marvelous how kind people could be. Not to mention that Silver was curious as to the origins of the woman’s catlike being. He wondered if it would be rude of him to ask, though he figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask, surely the worst response would be for her to express that she didn’t wish to speak about it. With haste he used the rooftops to jump around Inti until he found a tree to climb down. Gracefully he used the branches to swing to the ground, landing slightly harder than usual, before making his way to the gate. He noted that he had gotten there before Vale though he felt that was to be expected. It was uncommon for someone on a lower floor to beat someone else to the gates of a town if the second person was already in the town, and Silver tended to be swift. He decided to climb to the top of the gates where he perched and observed, watching and waiting for Vale, and wondering if he would find any goings on that would peek his interest.Silver was pleased to have such a prompt and cheery response.

  20. Silver smiled “I am very proud to hear that, Kathrine. I always told you that you had potential for greatness and look how far you have come.” he said as he put his hand on her head and ruffled her hair slightly. “Unfortunately I have made no such progress. What is this guild you lead and what is the essence of the grouping? I assume it works in many ways the same as it did back home.” He trailed off, excitement still clear in his voice as to the goings on of the day. He was very much happy to have found his lifelong friend in the mess of events that led up to this point. “Unfortunately, you will probably never find an exact copy but with as close as you have gotten, you should consider yourself very lucky. It is good that you have something to give you a sense of homeliness in this strange world we walk, however don’t allow that connection to home consume you. You are here, the time is now. This new life is yours to live, free of the vices that held you back. Your tree is blossoming, the fruit is ripening, pick it now while you can and claim your future.” Silver then heard the sound of a being in the trees around him. He looked around, observing with a smile, before his gaze landed on a black haired man. Silver waved and shouted “HELLO THEIR FRIEND. I DO NOT MEAN TO BE A BOTHER BUT IT IS IMPOLITE TO EVESDROP ON OTHER, I IMPLOR YOU TO COME AND JOIN THE LUSH CONVERSATION INSTEAD OF HIDING AWAY.”

  21. Spoiler

    Floor 20 Description: Floor 20 is a very sunny and relaxing floor. The brightly lit mountains that surround the floor have been terraced on the interior facing slope to provide farmland above the large but dangerous clearings that lie in the valleys such as the deceptively named Sunshine Forest, a dungeon within the floor known to be inhabited by giant insects. These terraces provide safe places for the NPC farmers of the floor to harvest their crops and adventurer's to find their rest.

    At the top of many of these terraced mountains lay small villages, home mostly to the NPCs of the floor, rather than any larger, secondary settlements as found on other floors. In the center of this ring of mountains lies one peak taller than the others, with the settlement built of stone that rises high above the others.

    While the terraces are free of land based giant insects that plague the plains and forests that need to be traversed between the peaks, flying giant insects and brigands prowl the higher levels, stalking the stairs and terraces themselves. The trees of the forest below are wider than a man with his arms stretched out, and reach dozens of meters into the air without any branches until the very top, though the canopy is not thick enough to block out the sunlight.

    Main Settlements: 

    Inti- The main settlement of the floor, Inti rests at the top of the peak in the very center where it commands a panoramic view of the entire floor. All roads on floor 20 run towards Inti. The stone settlement itself is built up in tiers, with smaller, more modest buildings and homes at the lower levels around the perimeter of the floor, and the largest and most grand homes and guild houses near the very peak, with the church itself at the apex, and the teleport plaza being towards the top on the northern side of the city. Access between each tier of Inti is restricted to a handful of gates at cardinal directions, and to the highest tier by two gates, one which lines up with the sunrise, and the second which lines up with the sunset. The human NPCs of the city dress in a vaguely ancient south american style, wearing bowl shaped hats and very brightly colored shawls, robes, and dresses.

    Sub-Settlements:

    Puma: The remote village of Puma is on the western most slope of the western most mountain, and as such it gets very little sunlight until the very end of the day, leaving the village almost hidden in the mists until the afternoon sun arrives to burn it off. The city of Puma has both animal themes that give it its name, but also seems to be aligned with the setting sun and the moon. It is a modest size village as far as sub-settlements go, but the only way in or out of the village is via a rope bridge across a steep valley. It is not for the faint of heart.

    Condor: The village of Condor lies Puma, on the eastern most side of the eastern most mountain. It gets bright sunlight in the morning that warms the city and its inhabitants, and they worship the dawn and the sun, along with the Condor motif. The village, while being much smaller than Inti, is also heavily decorate with gold, and thus has the appearance of being incredibly rich and fancy. The people of Condor also appear to be religious than the other villages, and each dawn they villagers will ascend the mountain to the peak for a daily ritual. 

    Notable Locations:

    Sunshine Forest: The forest is filled with giant trees and giant insects, though it is sparse enough to not develop a canopy blocking out the sunlight, thus giving it its name. Players who venture into the forest find that it is inhabited by monsters more powerful than that reflected by the rest of the floor.

    Edge of the world: One of the curiosities of the floor is a mountain which has been cut in half at the very edge. It is one of the few places that give some kind of clue as to the genesis of the floating castle. The mountain, cut in half, faces inwards, while walking up to the cut you could see the floor below, and beyond that the world which Aincrad floats above.

    The Great Compass: At each primary cardinal point of the compass, there appears to be a giant stone sun dial. The largest one lies in Inti, but smaller and still impressive ones exist in both Puma and Condor. If there is one at the north and south points, then adventurers would have to find them the hard way.

    Mobs:

    Giant Insects: The valley and forests below the mountains are filled with giant insects of all kinds, such a beetles, praying mantis, ants, and centipedes. 

    Giant Flying Insects: Flying giant insects, such as bees, flies, mosquitos, etc... infest the areas above the treeline.

    Giant Predators: Giant Puma, Condors, and other such predators stalk the high mountain passes and the peaks, many of which only come out at night.

    Standard Wildlife:

    Typical forest and mountain critters unburdened by size populate the floor.

    Silver sat atop a building on the twentieth floor of the strange new world of Aincrad. He watched as the psutoplayers farmed their land and observed how they did so. Taking a second to thing he reconciled the things he had done to bring him to the point he sat. The wondrous time he had with the group of players that lead him to explore the land and the wondrous things he had seen. As he sat, a thought began to glow in the back of his mind. Perhaps he would be wise to contact the wonderful neko woman he had met that day. Though he was unsure of how messaging worked fully, he never had the privilege of doing so in the real world, his only friend was Katherine and she was always unannounced in her showing up to his presence, as he was with her. A slight breeze brushed past his person, ruffiling the cloth he wore. He opened his HUD and picked Vale from his friend list, accidently pressing a button it transfer coin that he did not have. An Error message popped up, he dismissed it laughing slightly, bdeofr opening the messanger. 

    “Good Morning my catlike friend,
     I hope this marvelous day fares thee well. I ask with joy if you find yourself with the time to come and explore this fantastical world with me once more. I find myself on the twentieth floor of the land our minds call home. 
    Sincerely yours,
    Silver “Thorsten” Zevulum”

    He sent the message before closing his HUD and looking to the sky. He hoped today would be a magnificent day and was eager to find out more about the world.

  22. Silver sat looking into the distance, it was soon that he heard the sound of voices in the distance. He couldn’t make out what they were saying, though the discussion seemed to be quite heated and unsavory. He looked over at the two walking in his general direction. It was wonderful to see such people wall toward him, though he had no doubt they would pass him by like most did. That is not to say he was not content to be passed by, it was however an observation of the life that graced itself upon him. He was, however, surprised by the man’s call to Silver. Upon seeing the man wave, Silver stood to greet them. “Hello there good sir and m'lady.” He said through a thick northern English accent. He hesitated as he though about the strange thing that was mentioned to him. Though when he did speak, his warm smile reappeared, “ I must offer you my sincerest apologies, I haven’t an idea as to what you mean by ‘junk about potions’, nor had I seen anyone come by with reading material of any sort. Though, if you are finding yourselves in need of another companion to assist your search I would be wondrously happy to offer that assistance.” While some of the things he said may have came across as potentially passive aggressive or as if they had the intent to poke fun at them, his face shown that everything was said with complete sincerity. The soft smile on his face, combine with his angle in respect to the sun accentuate the strangeness of his eyes, one violet one blue. “I am Silver Zevulum, though I am unsure if it is proper to call people by the name given to them at birth so if you would feel more comfortable calling me by my username, Thorsten, then by all means do that.”

    Thorsten stood once again at the edge of the town of beginnings. He looked out at the newly rising sun over the vast field, ever green. He wondered once again as to the origin of the basis of thought this place would have been built to replicate. It was wondrous in nature and beauty much like the forests and fields of the world which he came from was. He enjoyed every moment of his being, content with the way his life had taken him. Here he was no longer looked at as if he was some misshapen toy, left in the rain to rust. His strange way of speech, his talents, his wisdom, these were things that no matter where he found himself in the strange world his mind was in, nor who he was with, would force upon him to end. He knew that one day this all would end but such was how life was. Silver was content knowing that regardless as to the outcome of the strange game he played, he could be content with the choices he made, the things he experienced and the wonders he had seen. 
    Silver sat down against a nearby tree, his heterochromatic eyes seeming to shimmer in the warm light of the sun. His face showed a smile of contentment, his legs crossed, his toned arms from years of martial art training lay in his lap. He was not waiting for anything but the day to come and go. That was all he needed to be happy.

  24. A new person joined the group of wondering adventurers. Whilst apparently unfamiliar to the rest, this man was not unfamiliar to Silver. After the man finished explaining, what he was to be called and the woman had explained her plan. Silver looked to Spencer with a warm smile. “How wonderful to meet you once again Spencer. It is truly a pleasure to be graced with your presence once more. I must ask, my sandy haired friend, what brings you to this world of winter?” Silver looked to the woman whilst he awaited a response. “I would be honored to join you. I only ask that you be okay with me asking questions along the way. I wish to learn as much about life and the world, both this one and the one our bodies reside in, as possible so that I may pass down that knowledge to younger generations and better their understanding through the experiences of others. With that I bid you, lead the way Madam” Silver fell back in the group, allowing the cat girl to take lead. He was excited to see where this journey would take him, and he had not a fear in the world.
