[F23-PP-PT] The Forgotten

[Eruda 0]

Sitting in the garden of a large empty house. A variety of floral and plants filling her senses. Being here day after day had made those smells bearable and actually pleasant. Little cherry blossoms leaves flutter to the ground as birds could be heard chirping just above her.  A soft breeze against her skin as she was wearing a purple t-shirt and shorts, wrapped in a blank with 2 books next to her and another sitting on her lap. Raidou had once told her that the only reading content that was available was guide manuals on how to play the game. She had decided that sense she had all this free time that she would start writing some of her favorite books. They wouldn't be perfect because they are from another's point of view but it should be more interesting than what they had. The first book read the title of Romeo and Juliet. The other was the poem's that the very same author had written.

The book that sat on her lap was a memory journal. Raidou had been gone for almost 2 days, it made her worry so she started writing down all the memories that she had in this place and out. She didn't want her or the people she loved to be forgotten. She sits there with a pen moving on the paper facing the glass door hoping that Raidou was okay.

[Raidou 1]

A thicker red robe sat motionless on a rack near the front doors. Hung up on the days it was not needed, which were quite numerous these days. The simple bound book in his hand was matched with a simple cup of porcelain. The regal and expensive looking interior was still rather uncomfortable, a fact that the man couldn't quite shake but it did a fair job of giving back to the community that needed it most. Even the simple act of being a resident of the city did wonders, the taxes and the revenue from simple shopping helping bolster their squandering streets. He'd contemplated cutting the building down and building something a bit more frugal, but it felt almost wrong to erase what was here before and its history.

Steam billowed from that cup as it sat filled with a murky green liquid, a bit of a melding of cultures. The softest turn of pages closed as he'd move in through the walkway and find his future wife nursing a book of her own. "Good morning." he'd offer the chipper response as he'd tap the bit of crab shell from his left shoulder. The man turns and steals a glance at the book in her hands. "A classic." Spoken in regards to her book as he'd steal one of the many pastries sat upon a platter, the elven sweet bread with its slightly burnt texture as the NPC was getting better despite the odds. He'd chew and lean forward to offer her a peck on the cheek before sliding out a seat, helping himself to a cup and pouring it out.

"Hmm" smiling feeling that soft warmth against her cheek. "It's not as good as the original, I'm sure I made a few mistakes but it's better than the autobiography's on SAO," giving a small chuckle as she gets off the ground. Picking the books up, she sets them on the table and prepares water for the kettle. "So I have been thinking," grabbing a cup of her own from the dish drain. "We have a bunch of empty spots in our garden. I noticed when I was observing the plant life." Pulling two metal tea balls out and starts filling them with green tea leaves. "I was going to explore the other floors to fill the holes in." The kettle steams out the top making a whistling sound. She pours the water in both cups with the tea containers set in to soak.

Taking one of those pastries, it was almost like a cinnamon roll but it was replaced with raspberry filling instead of sugar. It was very weird and different tasting. "If your not busy with crab today, come with me." Taking the metal containers from the cups, she empties them and rinses. "There was a few flowers in the forest of floor 1, and I wanted to check out a few of the newer floors too," calling out a little louder as she was walking up the stairs to get something more on. Coming downstairs after a few minutes in a knee length light purple dress. Tying up her hair with a soft blue ribbon. Taking her cup in hand, sitting on one of the chairs as she bites into the dessert. She waits to swallow before saying, "So you up for some sight seeing and unique flower finding?"

[Raidou 1]

Taking a sip of the tea to help wash down the thicker dryness and bitterness of the bread, it was most certainly burnt this time around. "Sure, been a while since we've been to floor 1 just to actually see the scenery." The irony in that it was where their journey began years ago, back when things were so much simpler. "Your thinking those empty planters? As long as we don't try and plant any nepents. Pretty sure they'd up destroying half the city if we were gone and they want water." The man chuckles helping himself from his chair and lifting it to push it underneath the white stone table. "Oh, as for crab smashing. She" the emphasis where needed, given he wasn't really sure what to refer to her as. "She said she's done collecting things. Hopefully that means a much deserved break for all of us. Also hopefully means she'll finally share a little bit soon so we aren't in the dark. Also one of those things was a horse." The strange look Eruda would return would receive the response "Right?"

Adjusting his fingerless gloves, he'd push his glasses up his nose as he'd shuffle to the sliding drawers underneath the back bay window. Second from the top, he opens it up with the brass nob and plucks out the little book with all manner of records regarding plant life. The guy shoves it into his right pocket, running his hand on his pant leg to make it flat. "I don't know about the newer floors, at least 29." His voice would take to volume so he was still audible. "Place is dark and dangerous. and its basically a swamp. Again...." a pause to confirm the truth of that statement before continuing "Aincrad loves swamps and churches." Raising his voice to have it carry, helping move dishes to the sink and washing the sugar off his hands.

Elda came down the stairs and clearly dwarfed him in appearance, the man had just went through hair and probably even had crab shell still stuck in his hair. "You look... divine. So where to first?"

Nodding her head in agreement as she starts to gather some of the planters. "We can plant them in the garden when we get back and yea lets not. " Agreeing what not to do. A confusing look paints across her brows with the mention of a new animal in the game. She wasn't even aware that horses could existed here. Hearing his compliment, she smiles lifting herself from the chair to walk in front of him. Reaching toward his hair pulling out something hard, "Thank you," pressing her lips softly to his for only a moment before slowly pulling away. She could have stayed there forever but then nothing would get done around the garden. There was so much more that she wanted to say but nothing was actually coming out. Inhaling deep, trying to break the locked gaze, "Floor 1, its obvious that the puppet master got lazy on the higher floors," saying as she finally turns away. Grabbing a jean jacket from the coat rack by the front door.  "Also if we find a horse I want to ride it. This game is all about new experiences and I have never ridden a pony," as they start heading toward the warp gate. Eruda would stop a few times and help the elves carry something or help pick something up that was dropped. It felt good to get smiles instead of glares.

Eventually getting to the forest on floor 1, it was about 6 pm and the flower she was looking for was nocturnal. Glancing back to Raidou, "I don't know what it is called but the bud, stem, and leaves are this really dark green. When it blooms the petals are dark blue with a white and purple middle." She was smiling just thinking about it. "It sprouts open at night and I've only seen it once before, sorta hoping it is still here," saying as she carefully pushes branched out of the way. Maybe a dress wasn't so smart...
