[PP-F4] Chasing Avalanche

[Saix 0]

Dressed for warmth, with a removable fur lining in his stylish leather coat; Saix surveyed his snowy surroundings with a critical eye. What was this crap, tundra? He couldn't think of the proper name the snow fields, and shook his head in annoyance, his long dark hair in fashionable disarray. If he had known that all that geography stuff would be important he might have actually paid attention in school, but he had never honestly thought to find himself in a situation where he would be in a tundraish snowfield preparing to fight for his life against giant Ice Elementals with a rapier... So, maybe that had been an oversight on his part.

Flicking his eyes to the upper right, he studied the chronometer that was displayed on what in a normal video game would be the HUD. Unfortunately SAO was no normal video game, it was a Fulldive video game, the first of it's kind. Saix thought their was a high chance it might be the last of it's kind as well, what with the whole law suits from the 10,000 players trapped inside a death game by a maniac thing. It sounded like the plot of a manga, but it was the truth of the situation he found himself in now. Saix had never been one to sit back and hope for the best, so he had found himself in the thick of things, creating a Guild and doing his best to fight back against the game.

That was sorta the reason he was here today, Guild Business. Lisbeth, their promising new recruit who had shown her stuff in their battle with the giant Snow Monkey; was due to meet up with him at any time for what Saix had jokingly referred to as their 'violent date'. As she was going to be taking part as a key member of the offense in her first Floor Boss Battle, Saix was doing his best to be 'responsible' as a Guild Leader. That meant ensuring her equipment would be able to stand up against the dangerous attacks that a boss could deliver. He had that covered, as he had received the boss drop by landing the last hit against the previous boss.

High Quality Armor went a long way towards ensuring that she would be able to survive this dangerous test, and the Alchemical Concoction that today's boss could drop would go even further, as it would reduce damage that they would take from Fire Damage. Upon reading up on this new quest, he had invited her along, hoping to give her the new armor to use, and make sure they had the <> potion to fix her up so that she could safely break into the whole "Frontline" thing. Any minute he was expecting her arrival, and they could get to business.
