Alana was just at the warp gate when she was nearly bumped into by someone. She noticed the side-step however, and knew just by that the man before her had been a beta. It was the only way he would have known to move like that. She shook her head at him though. "It's no problem, really...Wait..Ry-" she cut herself off since he was gone. But that voice...it sounded like Ryou's. She blinked a bit, slightly confused. Why would he just act like he didn't know her! Her name should be obvious. Or was he...wait, he wasn't seriously too busy looking at her rack to realize it was he?!?

With a sigh, she shrugged it off and stepped to the warp gate. Might as well train and see if she could find him. Of course, her mind was so on this she didn't realize there were two people following her. She just wanted to grind and find out where Ryou went, so she could get on to him for doing what he had done. Now at the field, she looked out. Plenty of spots open right now. She was level one, so she knew her hits weren't going to down the boars entirely. Nevertheless, she got ready to get to work.

Eyeing the first one, she started to get its attention, and practically had to insult it before the porker charged. Pulling out her rapier, she let it charge, striking once it got close. Of course, it didn't kill in one hit, but a couple more and it was down. She turned to the other two that were with it, now angry that their brethren had been felled.

Alana took the lead on this one, charging again and striking to fell another after a few hits, keeping just out of the third boar's reach. Once the second had been reduced to pixels, she moved on to it. Again, a few strikes, and dead. She looked at the drops she got. Not anything too good, but that was to be expected. "Eh, I can always sell them.." she said to herself. Now on to more important matters.

The girl had teleported to the right place after all, so Ryou couldn't be too far off. The spiky white hair was a dead giveaway once she spotted him. When she did, she strode over towards him, coming up while he was looking the other way. Now close enough she crossed her arms under her chest and put a pout on. "Ya know, Ryou-kun, I didn't think you were that into pixels...especially when they're smaller than my regular ones.." she stated, a bit teasingly just to add affect. Her voice wasn't changed, so she would sound the same to him as she always did. If he played dumb, she'd hit him though.

'Its almost time', he thought to himself and finished with the last detail of his avatar. "Success!", he exclaimed feeling satisfied he removed the Nervegear from his head to take a last look around his room. "alright room, I'm gonna be gone for a few hours so try to miss me too much, haha!" Smiling, he proceeded to put his Nervegear back on his head until he heard his mother call, "Yuki! Can you come here a second!" Stopping he turned to look towards the door oh his room, "Coming mom!", and placed the Nervegear down on his desk and strode over to his door. Opening the door he looked back to the Nervegear on the desk chiming, "don't go anywhere I'll be right back!", and walked out.

Yuki skipped over to the kitchen where his mother what waiting for him, "yeah mom whats up?" His mother turned to look at him with a smile and handed him an apple, "you're father, brother, and I are heading out tonight so remember to eat your dinner after you're finished with your little game okay?" Yuki nodded, his smile still plastered on his face. "Alright mom.", he answered before taking a bite from his apple. He then added while he chewed, "You know I love eating more than playing so you don't have to worry." Swallow. "Have a good time!" His mother patted him on the head before returning to her kitchen duties. Yuki decided to stay in the kitchen until he finished his apple, tossing the core away then headed back to his room.

Arriving back to his room he noticed his little brother, Yuu, was sitting on his desk chair and wearing his Nervegear giggling to himself. "What are you doing?!" Yuki exclaimed and hurried over taking the Nervegear off his brother's head. With that his brother only laughed and ran out of the room, Yuki about to follow suit until he saw what time it was. 1:29 pm. He decided to get his brother later and dropped onto his chair putting the Nervegear back on. The start screen was there waiting for him so he figured his brother must have only saved his avatar before Yuki had come back. With a sigh his smile returned to his face and proceeded to start the game.

Game start to Sword Art Online.

The character began to spawn in town just as the other players were. "Wooooooaaaaahhhhh..." Yukiko looked around in awe at the sight of this realistic virtual world. 'Her' smile turned into a grin, extremely impressed by how real everything was. 'She' saw other players having the same reaction as 'she' was only meaning that they must be feeling exactly how 'she' was feeling. 'Her' excitement began to to build up within 'her' and 'she' couldn't help but shout, "this is awesome!!!" 'She' jumped up with his arms in the air as a lock of gold hair came onto 'her' face. 'Her' smile disappeared. "uhh.." 'She' grabbed onto the lock of gold hair and held it in front of 'her' face to inspect. Was this...'her' hair?! 'No..way..' 'She' didn't want to but slowly lowered 'her' eyes to see a set of melons on 'her' chest. 'She' couldn't even see past them with out bending 'her' body over to see the rest of 'her' outfit. A skirt?! "Y...Yuu I'm so going to get you..", 'she' muttered. A female with blonde hair and big melons, 'her' brother had to be kidding! What bummed 'her' out the most was how much time 'she' spent to get 'her' male character to look exactly like 'her' had been all for nothing. Yukiko hanged 'her' head in gloom but had forced a smile to come onto 'her' face, "No big deal this is just a game anyway..I've played female roles before. I can make this work!" With a sigh 'she' held 'her' head up high and began to explore the town. The first step to any game was to make some friends, something 'she' was already good at. This was going to be a piece of cake! 'She' came by a pretty looking fountain and looked into the water at 'her' reflection having to bend 'her' body over to get a good look at 'her' face. A few moments later 'her' smile turned into a little frown again. "All that time...hmmm..."

Another boar fell and vanished before him. Looking up at his experience bar, it was almost there and he was going to level soon. Being by himself was a better decision after all. It allowed him to focus only on his own movements and not the 'switching' mode that was used in groups. That mode had gotten quite annoying in the beta, which made him PK his first person ever. In this game too, it was frustrating. If you had a home, you would appear at the gate of that place, no big deal. If you didn't, back to the town of beginning. It was just a hit on the level of proud one may have. And it also puts an target on the PKer. Which was usually Ryou. His voice back then was a deeper tone using a voice changer and the avatar he ran was that of a shorter male with darker hair. Not his color in real life though. His was straight and black. Ryou had used a male avatar with dark brown hair with blond streaks. That was the fad back about a year ago. Shaking his head in the game, Sai just went through the same old movements that was his own while thinking.

Since the boars were only level 1, Sai didn't really have to think when he fought. It was when he got to the higher level ones that it really became an issue. He chuckled lightly as the experience bar was going up. Very close now to level 2, but not just yet. It was as another boar disappeared that a voice appeared behind him. He would have ignored it and used his home crystal to bring him back to the fountain if not for the use of his real name. "What the hell..?" He said questioningly as he stopped. He placed the blade back in the sheath on his waist and looked back to see that blue haired girl again. The one with the chest and that was just heading to the portals. "Who the hell do you think you are using that name?!" He said a little annoyed to her.

Once he had raised his voice, his character targeted her and the name popped up. Matching the voice with the name, his eyes widened. "Oh god, excuse me for my earlier rage...Did not think I'd see you here Alana..or maybe, this quickly." He said with a small laugh and his hand running through his hair. "Please don't use my real name here Alana, which I see that you did....It's Sai in here." He said to her lightly. Ryou had used his own name in the beta. He didn't need to be known everywhere. Plus, he was a PK then. The past needed to stay away. Ryou also knew that Alana hated Pk'ers. Ryou liked this girl and didn't want anything to happen to that trust. He would tell her later in life though, that's for sure. Maybe in the real world.

Sai thought for a second and realized what she had said too. "I was passing you faster than I should have been going. Maybe all you wanted me to see was your chest." He said with a grin. Sai wasn't going to stand still for too long. He needed to get back to leveling. So close to level 2!

If there was one thing better than a nice warm shower on a chilly day, it was a nice hot, steamy bath. Oleksandra Moto, the itty-bitty girl from Ukraine had been in the bath long enough to turn into a prune and was nearly asleep when her phone went off. At first she ignored it and continued to relax as best as she could, but a second and very shortly after a third text prompted her to sit up some and give the suddenly-noisy device a thousand yard stare. It remained silent up until she looked away, though once again started going off as soon as her head began turning away. Okay! Fine! Reaching to the closest towel to dry her hand so she could pick up the phone, Oleksandra lifted the small touch-screen smartphone up to her eye level and turned the screen on, seeing she had missed a call and three texts. The call was from her teacher at school, likely looking for her report on population distribution, though the texts were from her friend and her mother. Skimming over the one from her mother, she discovered there was a box of donuts sitting in the oven that were for her, though was to leave at least one for her father. "And one you shall ha~ve." With a bit of a child-like snicker, Oleksandra continued on to the texts from her friend, the first asking if she wanted to bring the Nervegear and SAO over so they could take turns playing it, though the second one was to cancel that plan, but left an extra bit that got her attention. 'Heard there was a bonus item for logging in at 1pm. Don't miss it Oleks!' A bonus item? That was just too tempting to pass up! With a tidal wave of water and a streak of stark-naked booty zipping out of the bathroom and across the hall, Oleksandra quickly got herself semi-dressed and dried her hair as quick as she could, all the while digging out her Nervegear from her closet. The poor thing hadn't been used since the summer, and it was getting pretty dusty at this point. There was still ten minutes before 1pm hit, so she hurried off towards the kitchen to claim her pick of donuts that were waiting to be picked up and eaten only to find the donuts were a lie. Crumbs and sprinkles were all that remained of what looked like six that SHOULD be in the box, but weren't.

Next time though. Next time. Slowly trodding back to her room with the biggest b***h face one could manage, Oleks flopped down into her hair and quickly checked the time, seeing she still had another five minutes. To pass some time, she wrote a note to her parents to remind them that removing her Nervegear while she was wearing it was a huge no-no as it could cause her to lose save-data, and that she was very betrayed by being lead to believe there were donuts waiting for her. By the time she was done writing the note, it was time to tun on her game and get started. "That bonus item better be worth it, I'm craving sweets now... Link Start!"

Smell, check. Sight, check. Hearing, check. Taste, check. Touch, check. Language, Ukrainian. Load Beta data? ... No. She didn't want to be her friend's character, she wanted to be her own imaginary person. Plus being known as "DoobleDug" wasn't going to fly at all, so she opted to go with Pasternak; a name she got hooked on while living in Ukraine, as it was the surname of a soldier she used to have a crush on be friends with before he suddenly disappeared. With the new username and password set, it was on to her appearance. Tall, for sure, but also a male. She didn't want to be bothered by guys asking if she was single or the other usual questions they annoyingly asked every girl they spoke to, plus males were taken more seriously. Slightly darker skin-tone, hazel eyes, average build ... but the hair was a tricky one. There were so many options to choose from, a lot of them being great while others not so much. Unable to choose, Oleksandra left that detail up to a random choice and went on to choose clothing style and colouring. Not much for styles, but she opted for brown shorts, a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a tan waistband. Ready, set, go! Accepting the avatar before it had a chance to load with the randomly selected hair, Oleksandra's mind was transported into the game and once more found herself in the fictional land known as Aincrad. ”Holy frig there's a lot of people." As "his" vision become clearer, it became evident that there were many other people joining the game all at once. Neat! Turning "himself" around to look at things, Pasternak's eyes singled out a large fountain that was nearby, and a few players standing around it looking into the water. No hurt in seeing how the avatar looked fully rendered, right? Making "his" way over to the water, Pasternak almost immediately let out a defeated howl upon seeing the palm-tree or a hairdo that was on "his" head. How utterly disgusting and obnoxious! This avatar was supposed to be cool looking, not some beach bum from California!

You want a Romantic life a Fairytale that's full of Charm


♕ ▬ Nira


The two followed behind the woman that Kite as had his eyes for. This was cute to see her little brother go for romance. Just had to be careful, since that girl could easily be a fifty-five year old man looking for some attention. She smiled weakly at the thought. But as the followed the blueberry woman, Nira could tell they were leaving the safety of the town. A smirk appear on her face, wanting to get to the action now. She wanted to see the realism of the fighting mechanics. Though Kite was probably interested in get some chicks number. Wouldn't her brother look so much cutes if her picked a girl or something, but you know how he gets if she were to say that. Still it made her grin.

Now out in the fields, breaking away from the crowed city. Nira ran around, stretching her legs and warming up by doing so. With her weapon equipped, she was ready to kick some butt. "Wooo! Alright. Let's kill some monsters!" she said before looking at Kite. His eyes were still on the girl, which Nira looked over to her as well, seeing her fight the boars in the area. Kite started to slow his pace, very noticeably. Seeing his eyes leave the woman and come to Nira, she sighed, "You are nervous? Just be yourself. Chances are you are not going to meet her in real life so just talk to her." he told her sibling as she looked away, seeing boars that weren't in combat. "As for, me. I'm making bacon!" she screamed and took off running at the boar. Though she never played the beta(lucky bastards), she read up and studied every detail the was realized on the internet. Now she finally got to play the game for herself, knowing what she had to do.

Kite on the other hand saw that the girl met with a guy who was nearby and totally killed any courage he had to speak to the girl. He sighed and turned away to follow his sister yet slowly. Porky the pig charged at her, but she knew that if she used her skill, it would take off a lot but wouldn't kill it. So instead, she evaded the charge at the last possible second and strikes the pig a few times. As it tries to retaliate, Nira jumped back with a smirk as her blade started to glow, feeding energy to it before letting it explode in a strike, killing the hog. Seeing the experience points and loot on screen she cheered. "Haha! One down, five billion to go!" she said as she spun the sword in her hand.

"Nice, is it really that easy?" Kite asked her. Of course he never looked that much into the game. Even though Nira wasn't a beta tester, she got a lot of pre information from beta testers, no living the information that was give and to her surprised it worked. She had free reign over her body, so could move and fight anyway she wanted to. "It's totally easy. You try, and remember what I taught you about the skills yesterday?"

Kite shrugged and looked at a nearby boar and charged at it. The boar looked at Kite and charged at Kite. "Ahh!" he screamed out, disappointing Nira, already missing her brother's cute screams. The boar tackled him and sent Kite flying onto his butt. Nira giggled before helping Kite up. "Do think of this like a game. This should be easier to do that since we are in the game. Didn't you learn karate? Use forms like that to help you." she explained. Kite blinked and smirked.

"Alright Mr. Pig. Time to get wrecked!" Kite yelled out and saw the boar charging at him again, he laughed as he quickly sidestepped. Which surprised her, a beta tester movement. She got excited that the pig was wide open to attack. Her eyes with the Kite's blade as it.... did move and Kite did and round house kick, kicking the boar in the but, not doing much damage. Nira's eye twitched. "What Are You Doing?!" she yelled at him. Kite blinked as the boar turned and rammed Kite to the ground again. "Oww. You told me to use Karate!" he yelled back at Nira. "No idiot! Use the stances but use the dagger! Common sense!"

Kite sighed and stood up. "Okay, okay." he muttered before getting ready for the next attack. Once the boar got close, Kite moved out the way and slashed the pig, before getting in another kick, just to push it back. "Okay, charging....." he muttered to himself as his blade started to glow. Feeling like it was about to explode, he unleashed the the blade's skill and destroyed the boar. He tossed the dagger up in the air and pointed it at Nira. "Piece of cake."

"Yeah... right"

Alana raised an eyebrow at Ryou as he blew up on her a bit, and would have torn into him had he not excused himself. She sighed a bit, looking at him. "Yeah well, it's a good thing you nearly walked right into me then, huh?" she stated, giving him a small smile. When he told her not to call him by his real name, she nodded. "Yeah well, how else were you gonna recognize little ol' me, hmm? But trust me, I won't use it again..." she promised. She didn't plan on it, not unless they were in private. She merely had to get him to recognize her with blue hair.

The girl grinned slightly as he spoke. "Maybe, but hey, the real thing is better." she told him, stepping forward a bit and leaning against him slightly, a hand against his chest. With a little smirk, she stepped back a bit, purposefully letting her hand slide down his torso before going back to her side. Of course, she already had an attraction to him, and teasing him was her way of showing it. "So, I take it you're gonna go solo?" she asked him.

Alana knew that Sai was a solo player, had known that part for a bit. She didn't know about his past as a PK'er though. She didn't agree with it, as it seemed close to bloodsport, if they were shedding real blood. Pushing one of her blue pigtails back, she looked out at the fields. "The fields are probably gonna get heavier use soon...not like when it's just 1,000 beta testers..." she commented. Looking back at him, she waited for his response.

❝ The time was about an few hours after sunset when Kasumi had just finished preparing the Nerve Gear. She wasn't surprised at how simple it all was, all she needed was the manual and a warm cup of coffee to set it up. Already she felt anxious to experience this entire new world Nobu had kept going on and on about. She felt her lips smirk, eager to show up her cocky partner what she could really do in the game. But first thing's first..

"Link start!"

There really wasn't much to tell about Kasumi's choice in character design. She didn't bother changing much since she was fairly happy with how she looked. The only significant difference she added in was the fact that she didn't need to wear her dorky looking glasses. Augh. Those nerdy looking things.. she snickered in her thoughts. Looks like I'm going in with perfect 20/20 vision then.. It felt sensational being materialized into completely different surroundings, but what astonished Kasumi the most was how real everything felt. One could actually feel the wind blowing. "Huh, wow. He wasn't kidding.." she said softly, seeing several other players come alive in the Town of Beginnings. Most players looked just as amazed as she was. Opening her menu, she took a brief moment to check all her settings. She was precise when it came to these things, and after spending nearly over week reading through various tutorials and wikis about the game, she was certain she had everything set on point. Her weapon choice was, of course, a bow and arrow. She was skilled at the art of archery, and she thought similar mechanics would apply in game. "Right! Adventurer Kosta, ready for action!" she exclaimed proudly, striking her fist in the air.

From what she remembered from her readings, it was best to start leveling as soon as you logged on. Professions could be put off 'til later, so Kosta headed out to the plains in search for some fairly leveled beasts. This fit in perfectly with her desire to be a huntress anyway. She immediately spotted several other players attempting the same thing. "Well, this looks fun," she said, placing her hands on her hips as she observed. A few players seemed clumsy and took on some unnecessary damage, but she noticed others were pretty much on their toes and knew every move. "Beta-testers," she whispered, impressed with their natural skill. Kosta was cautious though, despite the benefits of partying up with a beta-tester, she knew that most of them didn't like to tolerate noobs.

Panning out the area, she noticed a solo player had just slain a boar. The player wielded a two-handed axe which meant she was in for some serious damage and close-combat defence. Kosta smiled, hoping she was kind enough to accept the archer's oncoming request. "Excuse me, hi! I was wondering if you wanted to party up?" she asked politely, waving at the white haired girl as she approached her. "I know that we'll have to share experience, but if we combine forces we'll be able to take on boars in groups of two or three!" Kosta waited patiently for a response, wondering if this player was in fact a beta-tester, or even a real female. You can never really be sure with these types of things. She mentally kicked herself as she imagined a male voice come out of such a pretty avatar's mouth. That would be quite hilarious..

Hugh finally caught a break and barely escaped a huge party that almost trampled him in the commotion around the fountain. He took a few steps back and suddenly bumped into something. It was weird... it felt as if he had backed up into something incredibly fuzzy, had he hit a bush or something? Hugh turned around and suddenly jumped back a bit after seeing the large mess of hair the player he had bumped into had. He went back over to the guy and gave him a blank stare. "Bro... that's some awesome hair style!" He then told the guy with a big grin. "I wish I had seen that in the creation, hehe." He continued, taking a minute to stop looking at the guy's hair. "Oh sorry for bumping into you like that by the way, I'm kinda new to all of this." Hugh went on to explain while crossing his arms and taking a look at his own avatar in the water's reflection as well. "Hey, you wouldn't happen to know your way around here would you? There's so many people." Hugh asked while turning his back to the fountain and sitting on the edge. While taking another look around he noticed a blonde girl nearby looking down at the water too, probably checking out her avatar too. 'Mmmm, characters really do look good in this game...' Hugh thought with a sly grin.

Yukiko had just finished inspecting 'her' brother's idea of a joke of a female avatar when suddenly 'she' was startled by a nearby player with outrageous hair made quite a loud noise that sounded like a cry of horror. Probably is was because of the hair? It was actually pretty cool. 'She' was about to say something to compliment the other player when another male player beat 'her' to it.

Yukiko then noticed that the player with the dark hair was looking around and stopped when 'she' came into view. 'She' smiled and waved a little with the thought, 'Thanks a lot Yuu.' Though the avatar didn't remotely look anything like 'her', 'she' had to admit that this typical look could possibly help make friends quicker. Maybe these guys wouldn't mind partnering up with 'her' and who knows maybe one of them could end up being 'her' husband. The thought almost made 'her' laugh since 'she' was really male but 'she' had no problem with it. It was a game after all.

Yukiko lifted 'herself' from the fountain and looked over to the gate that was nearby before making 'her' towards the two men. Once 'she' had properly confronted them she held her hand out towards them and said, "Hello, my name is Yukiko. I'm new to this game.I hope you don't mind me interrupting its a pleasure." 'She' was using every knowledge from past life stimulation games to make friends.

'She' was smiling and kept 'her' hand outstretched for them to shake 'her' hand but then looked up at the male avatar with the crazy hair and decided to go on ahead with the compliment. "Nice hair." It really was cool. Just out there and making the male an individual above everyone else. If 'she' were ever looking for him in a crowd 'she' would be able to find him with no problem. How cool was that?!

Gamagoori hadn't made it too far away from the central plaza that he had spawned in, as countless other players were appearing around him and blocking him in. Most of them weren't moving around a whole lot, many that he ended up watching were taking some time and swiping at the air in front of them, checking their personal menus and inventory screens. Had he not experienced it beforehand, he too would be doing the same thing, though as luck would have it, he already knew the ins and outs of things so could bypass the need to explore the menu. For him, it wasn't hard to pick out a Beta player when one spawned, as they left the area as quickly as they could, likely to go out of the town limit's and start leveling up before the plains and various other hunting grounds got swarmed with newbs and n00bs. Were he a die-hard gamer he would already be gone and in the wild, but Gamagoori was rather enjoying seeing all the new faces the game was bringing in. Tough kids, sissy kids, kids who tried too hard to be what they probably weren't... but many seemed rather normal.

He had his fill of people watching and began making for the central plaza's exit to the West, though along the way he ended up passing by the fountain in the center, just in time to hear someone shriek. It was enough to bring him to an immediate halt, along with a good twenty or so other players that were standing nearby. Seeking out the source of the yell, Gamagoori pegged it to have come from the guy with the palm tree for a head. While he wanted to chuckle, he wanted to make sure it wasn't something else and that his cry wasn't for something serious. Stepping closer, the not-so-gigantic man leaned forward a bit, using the reflection of the water to get a better look at this guy's face and see what the expression was.
"You guys alright? That was quite the yell just now."
Gamagoori leaned back and stood straight again, taking a moment to get a good look at this guy's hair now that he was seeing it in full rendering. He had seen it once before during the Beta, though the person sporting it was quite a distance away and was amongst trees, making it that much harder to see it. It was interesting to say the least, as was the name of the person. Pasternak, huh? Before he could inquire the origins of such a name, he picked up on a girl's voice that was directly on the other side of Huge Erection ... wait, what? Taking another look, Gamagoori quietly hummed in relief once he confirmed to himself that he had read this player's name wrong. Good thing he hadn't said anything, that was a close one. Once he leaned back some more, he could see the source of the female's voice and have her a slight bow and a raise of the hand, waving without waving.
"The pleasure is ours, Yukiko, welcome. I am Gamagoori."
Were he closer he would have shaken the girl's hand, but unfortunately there were two people between him and her. None of their faces seemed to ring any bells with him, meaning they either hadn't been part of the Beta, or had changed their appearances from then and now. Of course, there was the possibility he hadn't crossed paths with them before, which would make the most sense as he had only met a handful of players. Either way, it was a pleasure to be meeting these people for the first or second time, and wouldn't mind helping them out if they needed it. Being a Beta, he felt that he was partially obligated to help the newcomers if they needed or wanted it, rather than ditch them and hog all the experience for himself.

███ ` GAMER TAG: KAZU



Kazu was pleased with her first defeated monster, however, being only a level one creature, it wasn’t much. She felt invigorated, ready to level up as much as possible and get a good start.

“Excuse me, hi!”

“Hm?” Kazu’s head turned towards the feminine voice, although unsure if it was even meant to address her. A girl with short hair approached her, asking her if she wanted to party up. She blinked a couple of times, somewhat surprised at the random offer. Never going into games with any friends beforehand, it always took her a while until she ever partied up with anyone. She was usually solo for at least a good fifteen levels for most games she played. Although it gave her a lot more experience and a quicker time leveling up at first, whenever she did party up, she noticed her slight disadvantage with being unfamiliar with party fighting later on in the game. Kazu listened to her support that they would be able to make up for the lack of experience each with taking on more boars. Kazu liked the idea of handling multiple boars at once. Her eyes flickered to take note of the kind of weapon she had chosen. She had a bow on her, which contrasted nicely to her close-range weapon. Although that may not have mattered too much yet, strategically it was a good thing. Weighing it out, she didn’t see much of a reason to decline her offer. If all went wrong, she could simply disband the party anyways.

She set the front of her axe to rest on the ground, since she was unable to hold it with one hand yet. “Sure,” The girl replied briefly. With that, she pulled open the menu in front of her. With just a few clicks, she sent a party request to the girl in front of her. After her acceptance, Kazu reached out her free hand for the girl to shake. “I’m Kazu.”

Nia Mikisugi was so, so late. She'd been busy arguing with the neighbor over whether or not the car was parked wrong, and after stomping the older boy's foot with her own, received a very stern talking to from her mother. She had stared impatiently at the clock, the woman's voice beginning to sound like that teacher from Charlie Brown, when finally, she finished. With that, the dark haired girl had made a quick race to her room and began setting everything up. Now, finally, it was here. Setting the Nervegear over her head, she spoke the magic words. "Link Start!"

She was in. First, the calibration. That was a bit embarrassing even if it was a machine. Her short stature at five foot and 115 pounds wasn't a laughing matter to her, though it was to some. She could feel her face reddening at the thought. Thankfully she had a big chest area to make up for it. Once the calibration was over, she set about creating her character. Short hair, but red, smaller chest to not be too noticeable, and a bit taller frame. Then her name. She chose a simple one. Kari. Once that was done,she grinned.

Welcome to Sword Art Online.

Materializing in the Town of Beginnings, the overconfident girl started moving through the crowd, very uncarefully at that. So it was no surprise that as soon as she squeezed out from the crowd by the fountain that she tripped right into a tall guy. She fell back with an 'oof,' rubbing her backside as she looked up at him. The player, who's name she now saw as 'Grahm,' looked at her with a glare. Hey, watch were ya going girlie!" he said, two people that were possibly his friends looking at her as well. She glared up at him. "I'm not the one standing in the middle of an obviously crowded place, ya big idiot!" she said, clearly not taking to kindly to being called 'girlie.'

And obviously, the guy didn't take too kindly to being called an idiot. He yanked her up, grinning at her. "You got some nerve, girl. I'm already a level five! I could cut a wimp like you down....alls I gotta do is take ya out to the field.....not a damn thing you could do.." he said, laughing a bit. Nia kicked at his shin, making him drop her. "Like I'd go anywhere with you, ya smelly ape!" That served to make him angrier. "Why you...get back here!" He shouted, making a grab for her. She dodged him and ran, bumping into anyone nearby as she did so. Desperate to lose the loser chasing her. She'd already screwed up big time, and with a guy that was possibly a PKer from the way he talked.

Why this hair? It was the absolute worst thing ever! Pasternak reached up and grabbed handfuls of hair and gave it a bit of a yank, though was stopped from yanking it out by someone bumping into "him". First the horrid hair, and now people bumping into "him"?! What the hell! In an attempt to play things off in a good way, Pasternak slowly turned to face whoever it was that brushed up against "him", and found that they were staring "him" in the face. Uh oh, this couldn't be leading to anywhere good. "...Eh?" Well that was the most unexpected thing ever. Being called bro started the confusion, but the enthusiastic compliment of the hair absolutely blew "his" mind and rendered him stupid for a moment. "If I could trade you hair I would, I can't stand this. I ... I feel like a furry cactus!" Pasternak gave the hair on "his" head another bit of a pull before letting "his" hands drop back down to "his" sides, "his" head following suit. It remained like this even though Hugh G. Rection was talking to "him" still, Pasternak shaking "his" head a little to answer the guy's question. ”There's too many people here, getting bumped into's going to be a problem, I think. And sadly I don't know the area, it's my first time here." Which technically wasn't a lie, as Pasternak's previous venture into Aincrad was up on the second floor of the game, when "he" played on "his" friend's account. Had "he" continued past the point when "he" logged out, "he" would have been here as the gigantic cow that ended up killing "him" would have forced a respawn in the Room of Resurrection which was within the Iron Black Palace to their north.

"Eh? Who.. when did? Er, thanks." Pasternak was torn between who to look at, as another guy had joined them from one side, and a girl had spoken up with an introduction from the other side where Hugh G. Rection was. With a sheepish, almost child-like laugh, "Palm-Top Pasternak" rubbed the back of "his" head and reached out to take Yukiko's hand to give it a shake. "My name's Ol.. er, Pasternak. Nice meeting you guys. And, uh, thanks, for the hair compliments." After letting go of Yukiko's hand, Pasternak turned and gave Gamagoori's hand a quick shake too, though held it a bit longer than intended as "he" got a bit caught up looking this guy over. He was sort of cute, in a rugged badass sort of way. Damn, why did she have to be a guy for this game!? "Things are alright, yeah! Just wasn't expecting to have this much hair on my head. I did that random picker thing in the customize menu, and didn't give it time to load before accepting it. Hah~a." Taking "his" hand back, Pasternak looked back to Yukiko and Hugh G. Rection and flashed them both a big toothy grin, though was partially distracted by the booming voice of a guy behind them. With a quick turn to see what was going on, "he" saw that some big oaf was chasing a girl with red hair and violet eyes. "S~o ... anyone here know anything about where to go from here?"

Sai knew that she was teasing him and thought for a moment on that subject. "Maybe I'll come by later and actually leave my house for once. See how you're doing out there." He said coyly. He grinned and looked as she backed off and went onto another subject pretty quickly. Everyone couldn't be flirtatious forever, then again, he had seen a few different people in the beta, that's for sure. Sighing, he looked around as more people began to spawn into the area. He needed at least to be level 3 before trekking out to the outer fields where the higher level beginner types were. He was already close to 2 so it would only be a little longer. He'd get to it sooner or later, just depended on how long their conversation was going to go.

She had asked him if he was going solo and Sai nodded. "Well yeah, you know as well as anyone else that knows me that I don't like groups. Maybe when I'm a higher level or boss battles, but right now, it would just get in the way. I'll fight near someone and help them if they get into a bind, but that's the farthest I'll go for a group thing." He said to her as a boar materialized out of nowhere. Sai grinned and unsheathed his sword on reflex, the skill screeching out, and a quick step to attack. He then combo'd about three hits together, and finally swung down for the last skill hit. The boar disappeared and a glow was seen around him. "There's that level that was so close...Finally." He said as he placed the skill points into the areas that he wanted. Sai was heading down the katana route and knew that he needed strength and speed. The consequence would be that his defense would be severely low other than the points that are added in just for the leveling process. It will be a base stat.

Sai sheathed his blade again and looked back at Alana. She said something about the fields were going to fill up and the beta test. She bringing that up meant that she was in it too. "Oh s**t...." He thought to himself. If she was in the beta test, she might have heard about him. It just took a little word of mouth to get to her about the beta. Hopefully no one would. "Once I hit level 3, and you hit around where I am, I'll take you off to a farther field. Just make sure you get some crystals so we can teleport back instead of running. It's easier that way." He said lightly. She should know if he was talking about leveling first meant that the creatures out there would be stronger. He grinned as a heard of boar appeared. "Still rusty or can you take the left?" He asked her with a smirk.

Sai slid his sword out of the sheath again and began on his attack on the right. Three boars attacked him at once, and with quick parrying, the battle raged on. If any onlookers saw the fight, it would be clear that he was used to fighting multiple enemies. Side stepping and quickly slashes even though he only used a sword at the moment said that he was heading down a certain skill set. Luckily, with some of the extra points in speed and strength, Sai was moving faster and his attacks were doing much more. It only took about four hits now with one skill to take down a boar. As he finished up the three, he looked over to Alana to watch her on the two.

Kite smiled a bit before looking back at the girl he had followed out her. Nira looked at Kite before grinning and patting him on the back. "Go ahead and talk to them. What's the harm in getting to know the person?" she told him. Kite rubbed the back of his head before nodded, "Alright, here goes nothing." he said with confidence. He then made his way towards the two players, just catching the man killing another boar. Three hits then bam! Kite practice swinging his dagger as he walked. Seeing boars were stating to spawn around him, he took off to a jog.

"Hey what's up!" he called out to them when he gotten into range of them noticing. Or loud enough for anyone to hear. He kept a smirk on his fast as he came within feet of them. "This game is pretty sick right?" he said to them. Oh geez, was that all he had to say? He cleared his throat. "My name's Kite. Just saw you guys out here and i was like, Hey might as well." he said and rubbed the back of his neck before looking at the girl's chest. "How do you guys like the battle system, pretty cool right?" another grin appeared on his fast. He was really nervous, doing a failing job of trying to hide it. He looked at their choice of weapons. Sword and Rapier, his eye going to his dagger. He was pretty okay with it, definitely the lightest of the three, but also the weakest.

Kite wondered if the two already knew each other. Were they already dating? Which would be fine. A bummer, but still fine. Maybe at least he can make some friends though. The more friends the better. Teamwork gets you far in life. His eyes went back to Kira, seeing that she was back to fighting the boars in the distance. She was really good at the game. Well, she was always better than him at most fighting games and shooters. He turned back to them and to give them his full attention.
