SFL 0 Posted March 10, 2014 #1 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 SFL is not the type of person who likes children. In fact, she is afraid of them. However, she cannot find it in her heart to simply ignore them and leave them alone to their own devices, especially in a world as dangerous as SAO. Thankfully, there were older player in the Starter City who had decided to take them in and take care of them for the time being. However, that would only be a temporary measure. What they really needed in the long run was a place to stay in, preferably in one of the houses in the Safe Zones. She looked around the fields and checked the partial map that she had. Looking at her inventory, she made a quick mental calculation. Adding the donations and the contributions of other volunteer players, it would take ten days' worth of grinding, and living frugally to gather half the amount needed for a medium-sized house. She sighed. Not an easy task, but doable. The only problem now is this: WHY ARE THE FIELDS SO EMPTY? (OOC: Should've made this a OP thread. *sigh* I'm no good at this.)

Daeron 1 Posted March 10, 2014 #2 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Swift had always cared for the to young since always. In the real world she would help at the youth center s. She saw a player several feet from her that seemed to be thinking. She went over to the female player. Can I help you? she hopes that she didn't mess up the player's train of thought.

SFL 0 Posted March 10, 2014 Author #3 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 SFL was so lost in her thoughts of the "Case of the Missing Mobs" that when she heard the voice of another player, she nearly jumped out of her skin and blurted out something that was thankfully censored by the profanity filters. She turned around and saw another player, a female player, beside her. "Erm, pardon?" SFL said. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Daeron 1 Posted March 10, 2014 #4 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 She seemed to have scared the player. I'm sorry I said do you need help. this girl seemed to be really sweet, but jumpy. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
SFL 0 Posted March 10, 2014 Author #5 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 "Ah. I see. Well..." SFL trailed off and looked at the fields. "I want to grind for Col for an orphanage, but this is the only area I'm most familiar with and well, see for yourself." She said and gestured at the area. No mobs at all. "Truth be told, I have no idea how this happened." Then, she paused in thought. "Anyways, I haven't introduced myself yet." She held out her hand, as if in a handshake. "I'm SFL. And you are?"

Daeron 1 Posted March 10, 2014 #6 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 She was so curious and profound she forgot to introduce herself. The names Swift, Claire Swift. Please call me Swift though. Anyways, why don't you just go to the forest there's usually tons of mobs to grind there. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
SFL 0 Posted March 10, 2014 Author #7 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 SFL forced herself to associate the name to her face and voice. Ah, she was never really good at names and faces. "The forest?" She quickly opened her menu and looked at the painfully partial map of the forest. Memories of killer wasps and giant bugs came to her mind. Poison. She had to deal with poison back there. Gott, she hated that status effect. Now, she remembered why she avoided that area like the plague. Gazing at the empty field, she sighed. She had not much of a choice now, did she? After checking her inventory if she had any antidotes - she does - he looked up to the other player sheepishly. "Erm, do you have a more complete map of the forest?" Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Daeron 1 Posted March 10, 2014 #8 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Listening to the girl's voice she reached into her inventory and gave her a full map of floor 1. keep it, I can always get another. she seemed to look in her bag in hopes of finding something. She remembered that the forest had monsters with poison. Don't worry about antidotes, I'll come with you. Swift had just volunteered herself to help the fellow player.

SFL 0 Posted March 10, 2014 Author #9 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 She accepted the map, promising to herself to pay back Swift once she was finished with her current task. Then, when Swift said that she was coming along, her eyes widened a little, surprised. People are not usually that kind and volunteering, especially back in the reality outside the NerveGear. "Thank you." Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Daeron 1 Posted March 10, 2014 #10 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Swift sent a party invite and watched the HUD in the top left if her vision. Lead the way, you're the map bearer she followed behind the other player. Swift made sure that nobody was going to die with her, she was too valiant like that Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
SFL 0 Posted March 10, 2014 Author #11 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 (OOC: Skipping straight to the forest, if you don't mind.) SFL marked a potential grinding spot an the map. As they walked towards the forest, she made quick notes, placing markers on landmarks and other notable areas, carefully looking back at it whenever unsure of where to go next. It was too easy to get lost in SAO, far too easy. As soon as they have arrived in her spot of choice, she placed the map back in the inventory. It was a clearing surrounded by trees, small enough to that it only allowed only a few mobs to come at them at a time, but large enough to let the players move freely. A few feet away were a group of wasps. "Is this a good enough spot?" She asked, then unsheathed her sword with her left hand. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Daeron 1 Posted March 10, 2014 #12 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Swift pulled out her sword, Perfect she smiled as if she was glad to fight. She ran in at the three wasps there. They were outnumbered, but wasn't the first time this has happened. Swift 11/11 SFL 9/9 Wasp 1 5/5 Wasp 2 5/5 Wasp 3 5/5 Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
SFL 0 Posted March 10, 2014 Author #13 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 SFL ran to one of the wasps. She shifted her weight and lunged, activating a <>. She just hoped she wouldn't miss. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Daeron 1 Posted March 10, 2014 #14 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Swift watched as the other's first hit hurt the wasp badly. Instantly, swift ran in for an attack on wasp 1 as well. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Daeron 1 Posted March 10, 2014 #15 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 (Wasp 1) The wasp took the first hit, but was quick enough to dodge the other player. It began to act as a distraction for the other two wasps to attack Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Daeron 1 Posted March 10, 2014 #16 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Wasp 2 Attack The second wasp honed in on SFL because it just attacked the other wasp. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
SFL 0 Posted March 10, 2014 Author #17 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 SFL's hopes were not in vain. Her <> made contact. She looked at Swift, but the second wasp took her moment of distraction and attacked, stinger aimed at her face. Battle Dice Roll: 3 1: Critical hit plus poison 2: Critical hit 3-5: Hit 6 and above: SFL dodges She was not fast enough. The stinger grazed her shoulder. On the bright side, she doesn't have to deal with poison. Yet. Swift: 11/11 SFL: 8/9 Wasp1: 5/5 Wasp2: 5/5 Wasp3: 3/5 (OOC: Sorry it took me so long to post.)
