Interacting With: Kirito [@BlueSky44] [/center][hr][hr]Kyasarin smirked, already knowing Kirito's answer. If he didn't want to team up with her, then he wouldn't have asked her to meet him tomorrow. Agreeing upon a time with him, Kyasarin locked the door after Kirito left, and walked over to the bed. She sat down and pulled out the sword once more, admiring all of its virtual beauty and grace. 

[color=33ccff]"I know this world isn't real..."[/color] Kyasarin sighed, taking off the pads of her armor in order to sleep. [color=33ccff]"But I wish that it was."[/color]

Clothed for bed, Kyasarin rested her head on the pillow, searching through the options of the menu. The log-out button remained gone, with a skill menu not nearly as extensive as the one she had in the beta. Eventually, she noticed the message icon, clicking on it to open it up. 

Two hundred eighty seven players had died. 

Her heart clenched slightly, and she shut off the menu, mulling over the information. It wasn't that she was afraid of dying in the game. She was afraid of dying so soon. She'd only been able to walk again for a month, and the thought that she might die within a day or so....

A few tears fell from her eyes, and Kyasarin, for the first time in ages, cried herself to sleep.

Interacting With: [@BlueSky44] [@sMoKe] [@Jedly][/center][hr][hr]Starkette coughed a bit, thoroughly exhausted as she trudged her way into Tolbana Town. The health bar above her was dangerously low, and she let out a sigh of relief once she entered the safe zone of the town. Death wouldn't be coming for her just yet, then. She glanced around, looking for somewhere where she could restore her health. Truthfully, Starkette knew that this perhaps hadn't been her best plan. She would've done better if she spent some time establishing herself as an info broker, with the inner workings of the game being something she discussed with her father over lunch just the day before. 

Only healing crystals and potions were able to restore health. Glancing around, she figured there'd have to be an NPC somewhere with some available. Games like this didn't try to make things too impossible for new players. If she was incredibly lucky, there'd be an NPC giving them away for free, almost like a tutorial phase as to how healing works. 

[color=cc33ff]"We need to heal up,"[/color] Starkette said. [color=cc33ff]"We're dead out there if we don't do that. But we got some decent XP--so it wasn't a wasted effort. If I remember the mechanics of the game correctly...and I haven't been wrong yet...we should be able to heal and rest up here in safety. The game tries to be fair. No one can die in here -- unless someone pulls the plug on their nervegear, that is."[/color]
