[IC] Sword Art Online: Reboot II (Private once spots are filled)

[manapool1]

Sebastian jabs as fast and smoothly at the stomach of the beast, making sure his stabs stay shallow but plentiful, his shield hand dropping slightly as the monster was practically prone for the rest of the battle. He Gave a bright, cocky smirks before his weapon began to glow and he thrust with all his might into the beast hopping to do as much damage as possible. "this thing's a peice of cake" he spoke as he remembered fighting them on his own. To be fair his skill against npcs and others was doubled when he held the grudge but he no longer feared hurting her as he knew well he would go all out on her next time, however he was no longer as skilled in single evenhandedly taking on monsters.

Since Mason had been on her own all the time in the wilds she had become stronger against all wild mobs. Even if she had no combat against people she was still great at combating against monsters.

Kadzu walked through the forest her ornate cloak flowing behind her as she placed one foot in front of the other. It hadn't been long since her lover had died, and the wound was still fresh, although the riches had adorned her with new armor and clothing.

It wasn't enough, and she had taken up a few hobbies. The result being an orange marker above her head. The sounds of fighting attracted her interest and she turned direction. Hoping to investigate the commotion, it was only a brisk walk before she ended up on the outskirts of the battle. Two people fighting a rather large enemy.

[manapool1]

Sebastian smiled as his weapon slashed into the monster and it's health seemed to go blue and begin to dissolve. as he turned to cheer mason on his eyes lit on the orange diamond in the shrubbery that was followed by a woman. Knowing well they had both had attempts on there life he moved to guard mason and starred the new lady competently with his spear slightly positioned into an attack. His smile still light up his face despite this, and despite his defensive demeanor in his stance he had a homely and welcoming way to him.

[J2]

Kadzu was alarmed by the reactions of the man, even though he saw her orange diamond, he still had a smile on his face. She tried to give a smile back, but it was a weak one, and would probably seem fake. "I come in peace, my name is Kadzu." She stepped forward, walking towards the duo, she drew her Rapier, but held it in a nonthreatening-manner. "I'm sorry to have startled you."

[manapool1]

Sebastian looked her over before slightly dropping his guard and tilted his head. "oh, no harm done, what's a nice lady such as yourself doing out if the wilderness?" he curiously asked as he looked to mason and walked forward, he was sure he could tank a hit if she attacked. "more importantly why is an red player sneaking up on others?" he asked in a bittersweet voice that contradicted his appearance. "oh but were are my manors, my name is sebastian, and who might you be?"

[J2]

"I'm.. Well wandering to be honest." She admitted, letting him get a little bit closer before she took a few steps back. She knew her flash step would be good for clearing the distance between them if she decided on the need to strike, and it would also be good for a quick dodge if the other player decided to try a sneak attack. She was interupted in her thoughts when the man asked her about her red marker. "Well it's quite obvious, I'm a pker." She said levelling the Rapier with Sebastian. "But I'm not here to fight you, or gank or anything really." She said with a shrug. She figured the male was the tank, but that meant the girl must have been a DPS, or something like that. "Just some company right now. I'm very lonely y'know." She said with an innocent sweetheart voice, the kind that suggested all sorts of things. "Kadzu by the way. In-game, not IRL."

Mason stared at the woman from behind Sebastian. "I'm Mason." She said crossing her arms but not before casting a glance at her dart shooter to make sure it was loaded. She would not let this Kadzu woman harm Sebastian.

Sol shook himself awake and looked at his now ruined concoction in horror. He had ruined his potion and all that hard work, all that time spent gathering reagents, for nothing! He sighed, nothing to it but to get more, only pixels and light after all right. He left the guild hall and ran out to the nearest spot where some of the reagents he was no missing grew. To his surprise most of the monsters along the way had already been cleared out. Finally his eye's alit upon one of the rarer reagents he needed, it seemed to be between a two player party and currently solo player. Oh wait the group of two was Mason and Sebastian, which explained the cleared out monsters they were probably going on an exp run, WITHOUT HIM! Sol sniffed internally, then looked at the other player he didn't know, her name tag read Kadzu, weird name, though he wasn't one to talk. He carefully lay down on the ground and wriggled to the flower standing between them attempting to remain unnoticed.

[J2]

They were friendly enough, she thought to herself. "Would you two mind if I partied with you for a floor or two?" She really didn't want to impose herself on the group, but she figured making some friends would help her get out of the game quicker. She was waiting for a reply when a third player, came wriggling across the dirt and grass. "What are you doing?" She asked the man who seemed to be heavily armored, and at-least slightly skilled.

[Eklispe]

Sol covered his head and face with his hands and contiuned to wriggle towards the flower inch-worm style while chanting a mantra,"I can't see them they can't seem me, I can't see them they can't seem me."

[J2]

The well armored boy continued to move forward, although now he was spouting some nursery nonsense. "OMG, He's gone!" She cried out, playing along. But she spotted what he was going after. stepping forward and reaching down, she plucked the flower off the ground and examined it for a second. Hoping that Sol wouldn't notice her actions quite yet.

[booksmusicanime]

Mason rolled her eyes and poked Sol in the side with her foot. "I can still see you."

[Eklispe]

Sol briefly considered what to do in this situation, his target had been acquired by the enemy and now his cover was being blown by one of his allies. It seemed he only had one choice, to use his Alchemist powers! Sol sprung up from the ground and reached into this pocket pulling out a handful of small bulbous objects, as he raised his hand to prepare to dash them upon the ground, some of them slipped out of the back of his hand falling to the ground and misfired. Sol quickly recovered grabbing more of the objects from his pocket and hurtled them at the ground. A massive plume of rainbow colored smoke obscured the area, and when it vanished so had Sol, accompanied by the loud sound of tramping through the nearby underbrush. However Sol had obtained his goal, the flower had vanished from Kadzu's grasp.

[manapool1]

Sebastian looked around the place as if a circus had bust it's way through there small meet, as sol had done well and made a distraction of Sebastian to look the girl over, he was sure she'd do well, better than the scrubs he had as lower members. Still, she looked displeased by the world, something that made rushing a guild acceptance dangerous. This would either add to or vanish his odds if he asked now, and he knew not to take his chances. "sure, your welcome to join our party" he spoke as he sent her an invite. "I guess mason here wont be the only girl after all" he joked despite how he knew she would not be fond of another girl between them.

[J2]

Kadzu accepted the invitation as soon as the notification popped up. 'this was a nice change of pace.' She thought to herself, 'Maybe I can make some friends.' "Did you guys, know that guy?" She said motioning to the person who had crawled inbetween them, and somehow managed to drop a multi-colored smoke bomb and then escape into the brush.

[manapool1]

Sebastian nodded to the question with a pained expression, "I'm afraid so, he's a good fighter, but I don't know much more about than that" he grimly replied before equipping to his shield and spear and preparing at the area they had been traveling in hopes of finding more monsters. "shall we? Oh mind if I tank for this one?" he asked with his smile.

[booksmusicanime]

"Fine." Mason said rolling her eyes and crossing her arms. She could easily tank but she was still a little weaker than Sebastian.

[Flood]

Flood had been wandering the zones when he saw a bright flash of... rainbow smoke? "What? This is gonna be interesting, I can already tell." He walked towards the rainbow smoke and stopped when he saw a group of players. He looked at their cursors and they didn't seem to be hostile but it was better to make sure. He began sneaking around them and observed them closely. He shook his head and exited sneaking mode. "You guys ok? I saw an explosion and decided to check it out. It's not often I see explosions in a fantasy game and all." Flood asked as he got into their field of vision.
