  1. Kataware was surprised to see a sudden expression of worriness on the boy. After all, it wasn't him who was in danger here. Kataware accepted all the risks and wasn't willing to come back without any sort of reward. At any time, Kataware could've been killed, but she wasn't. Kataware whispered under her breath, barely audible to even herself. "I knew and know there's still some hope for you." Kataware got off of Pinball and lend her hand to help the boy up. "I'm doing whatever it takes."

    Kataware took out the notebook and thumbed through the pages until she found the page on Pinball. She held reservations against Pinball, of course, after all the Monument of Life spoke bounds.Pinball had killed Sugutsuya, but Kataware didn’t know the circumstances. There were no documentation on what the Reason for Death is when a green player killed an orange player. Until then, Kataware held out all reservations. And if Pinball was a player killer and thus his cursor turned orange, then so be it. “More now than ever, people need to work together.”

    @Pinball

  2. Kataware was already unequipping her armor to chase after Pinball. Her plan was always to be right behind Pinball and she could barely just keep up the pace alongside Pinball's charge skill. Kataware wasn't going to let go of the orange player already. She pushed aside the guards and actually used them to propel herself forward bit by bit. Each guard yelled out the same thing in the same voice. "What are you doing? Get out of the way!" I hate this game...

    Kataware kept running, trying to chase after Pinball. After all, if they wanted to clear this game, it would have to take every single one of them. Only those who never wanted to leave could be imprisoned. Kataware rushed towards Pinball and tackled the boy. They rolled down the mountain, Kataware wasn't going to let go of Pinball. As they stopped, Kataware inned down Pinball (although she wasn't strong enough to stop him from getting up) and stared him into the eye. "Congratulations! Everyone's made mistakes. Now, if you're not going to listen to me, at least try to avoid floors 5, 9, 14, and 16. I can at least try to distract the people chasing you." Kataware took one hand off of Pinball's arm and sent the boy a friend request. "Now accept it. If you're gonna leave again, you can at least message me."

    @Pinball

  3. Kataware smiled gently to Ayano and gave a soft touch to her forearm to reassure her. ”You’re fine. It’s fine.” Kataware was a patient woman, enough so that a simple mistake like that wouldn’t get her to act any different towards someone. After all, Kataware recognized that it must have taken Ayano some time to prepare her greetings.

    Kataware stood up from the bench and walked towards the nondescript shopfront. There wasn’t much other than a few vials and also a purple-ish gas coming from underneath the door. Kataware grabbed the handle on the door, getting herself ready to breath in the noxious fumes that she had already experienced once. However, it didn’t seem like the effect would never go away. After all, Kayaba seemed enough like a sadist that he would ever add a sliding scale for tolerance to these types of useless sensory attacks. ”Shall we?”

    @Ayano Tateyama

  4. After many failed attempts to attempt to start the tutorial questline, Kataware had enough and wanted to get more serious applicants she trusted. On the list, she had found person with an apparent narcisstic behavior, two twins who never did anything apart from each other, and also a very shy, timid girl. Of course, she decided to go with the last one, believing that the others would prove to be more troublesome. She waited patiently clad in her armor, waiting on a bench nearby the shop they were to enter and undertake the quest.

    Kataware wondered if the girl was going to be a good fit. After all, there personalities had such a stark contrast like they were the embodiment of night and day. However, she seemed dependable and more willing to learn. In a sense, Kataware wanted to take this new girl under her wing. Hopefully, their partnership would last long and be strong.

  5. Kataware rushed to the doorway and pushed Pinball back to the interior, not letting him outside of the shack. Not letting him out of her sights. Not just yet. "Pinball, when I said no one. I meant no one. Not even you. At least, not yet." Kataware intended to use up all of the time they both had. Sooner or later the guards were going to reach here, seeing as Pinball was still inside of a safezone.

    Kataware equipped her armor to give her the appearance of being stronger than she really was. Although, her eyes probably told everything. She was afraid. This was her only opportunity to help Pinball, and she didn't want it to go away. The guards would have to go through her to get to Pinball. And she was willing to do everything for that. Even if it meant becoming orange.

    "Let's start over, " Kataware relaxed, her figure and armor blocking the doorway. It'll be easier to protect him too. "My name's Kataware." She soon realized that Pinball might not recognize her, mainly from their short interaction. She was one of the few people who easily recalled faces and names. "Let me help." The sound of the guards running around began getting louder and louder. Escape was going to become impossible, she took out her dagger and her back now faced Pinball ready to face any guards that came through the alley.

    The sky grew darker as clouds passed over and it began to pour. Kataware gripped the dagger in her right hand. For the first time, she was afraid for what was going to happen. It frightened the small girl. "Please."

    @Pinball

  6. Katware turned her head towards Pinball with a blank expression. Her first time receiving a death threat in SAO, but not necessarily the first time in her life, each time baseless. The thought though that she could die without anyone knowing her exact cause of death (as she knew no one in the game) made her think, but it didn’t bother her much. After all, a death was a death. “I’m as safe as you are right now.”

    Kataware headed towards the shack and opened the door, inside was enough space for one person’s living quarters, two if you tried hard enough. There was some drawings on the walls from past inhabitants, and there was a makeshift nightstand from a log, but nothing that could be considered furniture. Kataware motioned for Pinball. “Come.”

    Kataware pulled down her hood on her green parka and unzipped the front revealing a white blouse. Wearing the parka for her more casual outfit has become a habit of hers now, ever since she visited the Fourth Floor more recently. It just feels more comfy. Kataware sat down on the ground inside of the shack, expecting Pinball to enter as well, and spoke absentmindedly. “My name’s Kataware, I’ve been looking for you for a long time. Same with a player known as Shark.” Kataware wasn’t going to divulge much information outside of this situation, but she wanted to ensure that Pinball didn’t think she was hunting orange players or, more specifically, him.

    Kataware’s usual, courteous smile was no where on her face. It was time for business, not customer service, and that meant being blunt about things. “You’ll have to explain everything to me if you want any chance of going anywhere. I can also provide protection for you.” Kataware stood up and put her back against the wall and bent her leg, resting it against the wall. “I’ll throw some people off, give them a set amount of floors it’ll take them lengths of time to check for you.” A bit less than the normal kindness she had, but she had some information she needed to extract and make sure that they each had enough time. After all, Kataware could still hear the guards looking for them. It wasn’t a matter of if they were found, it was a matter of when. And when it came down to it, she was more than willing to take her last resort and execute it.

    @Pinball

  7. Kataware led Pinball down the empty street, checking around the corners to make sure there were no guards. Her time was going to start running out as the guards were probably going to be barreling at them any second. She had a plan, but how willing was she to risk it?

    Kataware was aware of what she would be implicated with if she was found with Pinball. However, that didn’t matter to her. She kept turning around to make sure Pinball never left her. To Kataware, making sure Pinball was safe was the priority at this moment.

    A storm was coming. The low rumble of metal clinking against each other as the guards moved up and down. It was only a matter of time before the guards were to reach their location. Kataware looked around, and disconnected herself from her body for a second. She thought about every possibility. She almost had no choice.

    Kataware didn’t have time to explain again, and instinctively grabbed Pinball’s hand and led him down yet another alleyway. The only flooring was mud and at the end of the alley was a shack. It looked like someone’s attempt to create a makeshift housing, a poor one at that. But it would suffice. Kataware stayed at the entrance of the alley, making sure no guards came through. “Pinball, you’ll be safe. No one’s coming through here while I’m here with you. Just tell me what happened since the floor boss.”

    @Pinball

  8. “Sort of, if you can call someone who gathers information and is willing to give it out, then I guess you can sort of call me an info broker,” Kataware replied back to Kirbs. “Although my primary profession is being a Merchant although my shop’s not set up yet.” Kataware flips back to her notebook, checking the amount of days until completion and found a big checkmark with a single dot underneath. Low priority.

    “To be honest, I want to join the frontlines too, get them off of their butts and start getting them moving to clear out Aincrad. At this point, we’re all going to have been in here for a decade or longer.” Kataware walked in silence checking her notes, seeing if her plans were feasible. After all, she was barely effective in the first place today.

    When they reached Tolbana, the entirety the town was bustling with merchants and good food to eat. Kataware was partial to eating some ramen from a cart and motioned Kirbs to eat it. Kataware paid the shopkeep the required ramen and began to slurp the noodles. The warmth wasn’t quite as warm and the flavor was dulled but hey, she’d take it after that whole debacle. Wiping her mouth with her forearm, she motioned Kirbs to come over. “It’s pretty good, you should try some.”

    @Kirbs

  9. Kataware turned around and walked backwards like a sort of tour guide for Kirbs, occasionally checking behind her to make sure she wouldn’t end up crashing into an object. Although Katware wasn’t going to talk about the surroundings or the history of Aincrad, it was more about herself.

    “I just recently started getting into combat, gathering as much information that I could gather, no matter where the sources came. Confirming them is a bit more difficult, but I’m used to it.” Kataware looked back at her times of job hunting which no one prepared her for. Especially as someone who wanted to become a civil service worker, this made it more difficult for her to find ways to get into a job that most people would never want in the first place.

    “How about you?” Kataware eyed Kirbs up and down, from her demeanor she couldn’t be more than a young teenager. Often irritable and very hyper. Not that I mind working with her. She seems enthusiastic.

    @Kirbs

  10. Kataware teleported to the First Floor, after the debacle on the Second. However, the day wasn’t ending there. She saw the group of players gathering around the bulletin board, and she was surprised at the speed that the players involved have done. Of course, there was no surprise that a lot of people would be curious, but Kataware had a feeling that she would know one name up there. Walking up, Kataware politely asked players to move aside and shoved at times when necessary. She stopped in front of the bulletin board and looked at the poster. To no surprise, she saw Pinball’s name.

    Although it took Kataware a lot less time to read the entire board, she intended on acting as if she was analyzing the poster. After being satisfied Kataware turned towards the self-proclaimed chief of the APD. “I got some information on Pinball. Word is he’s planning to retreat to and consistently switch between floors 5, 9, 14, and 16.” Telling this lie and losing the trust of the players around her would be worth it. All of this seemed like it was done on impulses, Pinball turning orange, Pinball attacking a player, and especially the creation of the APD. Kataware was all for laws and order, but this wasn’t the moment for it. “Kataware, investigator, attempting to become a renown info-broker. It may be in the best interest to split up into parties to see which one he bounced to first.” Kataware transitioned into an at-ease stance.

    (( It is my assumption that this thread is after After All This Time )).

    @Hestia

  11. After all this time searching for the player that's been described to her, Kataware saw the player pop right in front of her. The black hair, the somewhat gentle face, and the light blue eyes, it didn't appear the same as people have described it. The frontliner that's recently gone missing, the guild member that's recently gone missing too, the player with the black cat who went missing after they defeated the minotaur. And the only explanation of why it happened appeared right in front of Kataware. The orange cursor.

    Kataware looked at Pinball, noticing the situation he might have just drawn himself into. Urbus was considered a safe zone, and Kataware planned a mental map on how to make sure Pinball didn't get into trouble. After all, this time Kataware wouldn't lose one of the players she's been hunting down. Kataware grabbed Pinball’s wrist and said in a hushed tone, ”Don’t draw attention and avoid guards for now. Questions later. You’ll be safe.”

    @Pinball

  12. Kataware opened her notebook and flipped through the pages as she tried to find some place nearby which would possibly server some decent food. The food from Horunka is probably not that great but... “Tolbana.” Kataware snapped her notebook shut and started walking in the direction of the settlement. She offered no explanation as to what she might, believing that Kirbs would catch her drift.

    Walking along, Kataware never unequipped her armor, making sure that a surprise ambush my a mob would be less risky. Her life was nearly taken over a single quest which got the cogs in her brain working, She was trying to figure out where she messed up, a nearly fatal mistake. Kataware took a look at the properties of her armor and dissected them. However, her efforts were to no avail. Kataware seemed to explain it entirely based off of luck and, as Kirbs said, they had none to begin with.

    @Kirbs

  13. Kataware finished pasting up the posters that she had created, very plain, straight to the point. A call to action. Kataware needed to find a party for what she was planning on doing. After all, there’s been rumors circulating of a player from long ago called “Shark” being newly sighted on Floor 5 after disappearing so many months ago. Apparently, the man was somewhat strong for his time and had made a legend for himself. Kataware wanted to bring the man back into the spotlight. But that would take some time.

    Kataware needed to prepare if the rumor was true. Get the man up to date with what’s been happening, and also make sure that no one got hurt on this excursion. She’d need a party as the Fifth Floor was uncharted territory for her, and apparently the mobs were a bit too strong for her to handle by herself. She turned away from the bulletin board, walking away, the poster behind her.

    Spoiler

    Looking for an old frontliner to bring into the spotlight once more.

    Need a party of four, discussion can be had at future site of “The Horizon” located on the First Floor.

     

    When the players would arrive to the Horizon, they would find a shop within the business district with an unfinished exterior. The visual effect of being able to walk through the wall forever was far from finished, seeing as how it there appeared to be artisan tape to guide the paint. The interior was no better, in fact, they would only see Kataware wearing a white blouse, black blazer, and black slacks waiting with three empty seats around her. Within the middle of the seats, there was a table with some elaborate plans laid out.

    @Akariah@Kirbs@tricolor_mina

  14. Kataware nodded to Kirbs. They didn’t seem like they were going to be doing any combat anytime soon, which means she was mostly out of danger. “That’s fine with me. Things were getting a bit hairy there anyways.” Kataware sheathed her dagger and began to open up the menu. At the very least, she wanted to friend Kirbs so they’ll be able to try this quest out later again. There was a little voice in Kataware’s head though, doubting her own ability. If you can’t even do this one quest, how do you think you can make it to the frontlines?

    Kataware sent a friend request to Kirbs. “I’ll get stronger as well. So we can do this quest together in the future.” Kataware returned Kirbs’ smile and asked her a question out of the blue. “Would you like to go back to town together? Maybe grab something to drink or eat?”

    @Kirbs

  15. “It’s okay,” Kataware wanted to reassure Kirbs. She could get a bit closer to death without having to worry about her life. After all, she could take on at least one more really bad hit before she was in danger of actually dying. She wasn’t afraid of dying, she knew how to take her risks.

    Kataware decided to feint an attack against the Nepent Variant before putting her guard up. She wanted to make sure the Nepent Variant would get punished for his next attack. Kataware held her gauntlets up to protect her after dropping the knife halfway through her slash. She felt the contact of the Nepent Variant’s vines against her armor, and soon heard the sound of the mob bursting into crystals. However, there was no notification that she had received a drop. She looked towards Kirbs and gave her the bad news. “We didn’t get the drop.”

  16. Kataware went towards the Nepent Variant once more trying to slash her dagger at its plant-like flesh. However, her dagger and her arm sailed past Nepent Variant, missing the mob completely. On the other hand, though, Kataware braced herself for the incoming attack.

    Once more, it hit hard and Kataware watched her health bar turn yellow as her health points dropped below the 50% mark. In her mind, this was unfavorable. After all, she was unable to determine if this an unlucky string of the so-called RNG, or was it caused by her mistakes? If it was the latter, she would be able to improve herself, but the former simply meant that she had run out of luck.

    After getting hit, Kataware dug her feet into the ground. She stopped herself and stood upright, preparing herself for the next attack. “I’ll be fine. Sooner or later, that thing’s gotta run out of its luck too.”

  17. Kataware was soon hug-tackled by a girl she’s seen before. With the accent and the dress, how could Kataware ever forget her? Although she felt as if she would be crushed by the the girl’s grip, she felt assured that she wouldn’t actually suffocate from the bear hug.“Hey Kirbs, I’m doing fine. How are you?”

    Although her actions could be seen as impolite, Kataware kept her eyes glued to the male player on the ground. After all, he seemed skittish, looking for a place to hide, and Kataware wanted to make sure that he was alright. The amber-eyed girl walked over to male player and smiled once more while offering a hand to help him up. “I was just about to ask him myself. So, what is your name?” She took the green hood off of her head, and revealed that her chestnut brown hair was in a ponytail. “Come on, I don’t bite.”

    @Spencer @Kirbs @Huginn

  18. Kataware frowned a bit as she noticed her partner was getting frustrated at their lack of progress at killing the Nepent Variant. Kataware blamed herself, seeing as how most of the damage can be attributed to the Kirbs. It’s only natural she’d be frustrated given the circumstances. I haven’t been able to do much.

    Kataware walked up to the Nepent Variant and sliced into it, once again, a shallow cut based off of the red, grid-like crystals that appeared on the mob’s body. Kataware tried to make herself as wide open as possible, sooner or later her « Thorns » would activate, as long as she kept getting hit. However, the Nepent Variant still messed her, despite her best attempts to make herself as big a target as possible. Kataware stared down the mob, realizing that the game wasn’t giving her a break at all. “Stay calm, focused. Frustration turns to anger and anger causes mistakes.”

  19. Kataware didn't want this fight to drag on. She wanted this to be efficient as possible. So, she was thankful when she finally landed an attack on the Nepent Variant and even more so that they were able to complete the switch. Although it was not as effective as she hoped, it was another chip damage against the mob. As she tried to get away from the Nepent Variant, she felt the pressure of a vine slapping against her armor.

    Kataware saw her health bar deplete as she was pushed across the ground, stopping in front of a tree. Oh. Katware picked herself up, noticing that if this was real life that she would be in massive pain. She brushed herself off nonchalantly, recognizing that letting any nerves ( as if there were any to begin with ) getting to her could be detrimental. Especially since that would cause more trouble to her and Kirbs than the Nepent Variant itself. "I'm fine, let's do this."

  20. Kataware’s plan, however, didn’t go as she thought it would. As she attempted to attack the Nepent Variant, the dagger sunk into the mob without any effect whatsoever. Even worse, the Nepent Variant was still focused on Kirbs. She stood her ground, trying to keep a firm grip on the dagger, not letting it move forward to even attempt an attack on Kirbs. She looked back towards Kirbs, her expression becoming more stoic and flat as the situation grew more dire. She was trying to process everything, figure out how these odds were being put up against her.

    “I just need to get it to hit me. My armor’ll be able to kill it like how it done so against the Nepents it worked against.” Kataware felt ineffectual, unable to fulfill the job that she had set out for herself. Usually, she would have enough of the skillset in order to pick up most jobs, but she didn’t understand that she needed to spec into the skill tree correctly. After all, this was her first video game that she’s pretty much played.

  21. Kataware slowly blinked towards the Nepent Variant who was standing still after Kirbs’ attack. It was obvious that the Nepent Variant had just been stunned, seeing as how it didn’t react to Kataware’s pathetic attack, stumbling and missing a still target. I thought that the plan was try to get the mob to hit me.

    Kataware focused her thoughts on what she needed to do next. Her mind raced, looking for a solution to change the chance of death from nearly impossible to a chance for nothing. At this point, Kataware knew that the Nepent Variant would start wailing on Kirbs and her chances to prevent that from Kirbs being the Nepent Variant’s target started diminishing before her eyes. Although she thought that Kirbs could take it, luck could and would eventually run out for the both of them within the game, especially since Kirbs’ attacks have more or less the same effectiveness as her own.

    Kataware needed to perform a « Switch » with the girl. “Kirbs, do a switch with me!” Her voice was cool, yet urgent. She found her way to get the two of them out of this situation. She was ready to take on the next attack if the game allowed her to. “Let’s do it!”

  22. Kataware first noticed its more distinctive vine that it had. It appeared as if there was some type of cherry-like object hanging from it, and hopefully they would be able to obtain that item. However, the RNG this game has been a cruel mistress seeing as how more than 2,000 players have already died from miscellaneous causes. She wouldn’t be surprised if they had to go through this combat a few more times before they would actually be able to complete the quest.

    Kataware saw Kirbs try to attack it, but its health bar barely decreased. Kirbs encouraged Kataware to take the the frontline and act as an actual tank, to which Kataware obliged. She approached the Nepent Variant with her dagger and slashed out, barely doing any damage much like Kirbs. However, when the Nepent Variant retaliated, she felt as if that would have done a more substantial damage if it had gotten just a bit luckier, or if she wasn’t wearing this much protection. “Let’s try to get it to hit me.”

  23. “No problem,” Kataware replied back as Kirbs seemed to have her own nervous breakdown, going from nervousness to mania and confidence. After this was one was killed, they should be able to encounter a Nepent Variant as the spawning conditions of that particular mob were well-documented. Something that people have left breadcrumbs for behind people who have been trying to catch up. However, whether they would be finished with this quest is a different matter. After all, there was a bit of a luck component.

    Kataware charged towards the last Nepent, hoping to intercept any attacks that might be thrown. After all, that was her current specialty. Seeing as her main source of damage was getting hit by mobs (and now it was unsure if that was even the case, seeing as there was some exceptions to that rule). In the end, she sunk a dagger into the Nepent and when the Nepent’s retaliation landed against Kataware’s armor, the mob burst into blue crystals.

  24. Already? Kataware rushed after Kirbs, delivering a weaker blow to the Nepent, but at least making a scratch with the mob’s HP bar. Sinking her knife into the dagger she felt the Nepent retaliate against her, slamming a vine against her side, knocking her to the side, only displacing her and doing another negligible (but at the same time non-negligible) damage to her HP. A follow-up attack happened by the other Nepent and Kataware saw the mob burst into blue crystals.

    Kataware made a mental note later on to research the reasons why she couldn’t be at her full effectiveness. All I really need to do is need to get hit, so why haven’t they been taking damage? After all, these mobs should have been easy enough to deal with by herself. It’s just even easier when there’s someone else who can deal consistent damage. The blue crystals disappeared in thin air.

  25. Kataware was ready for the second Nepent to try to attack her, making sure she keeps up her guard. When the Nepent came towards her and tried to attack her, she was ready for it, able to make sure that the Nepent would not disengage unharmed. When she tried to return the attack, Kataware stumbled through the blue crystals that took the Nepent’s place. She quickly gained her footing again and looked back to Kirbs. “Huh, I guess this finally had some usage.” Kataware pointed at her body armor, especially the spikes on either sides of her shoulders.

    Kataware checked her Kirbs and her energy and health bars, making sure they were kept high enough that they could be fully efficient. They were close enough to full, but Kataware had a bit of sneaking suspicion that the mobs would a bit of time before the Nepents would end up spawning again.
