The weather setting was premium. He had a brilliant little wind to catch his scarf as he sat of the roof, watching people. It had been a while since he’d left Stoutfat. He wasn’t sure what the hilarious Dwarf was up to, but he was sure there was a bunch of little pancakes involved. He joked in his mind as he made the same gesture his friend had so long ago.


He had just about finished his people watching when he spotted a familiar face. What was the kid doing in town? Where was the princess at without her knight? So many questions, he needed answers. Deciding to pay his old buddy a visit he jumped from roof, to lower level roof until he had landed behind Mihoko as the boy approached the gathering mass.

“Long time no see Kid.”

He said with a smirk as he saluted the boy. He was wearing a light armor, dark grey in color. A leather pauldron on his left shoulder, and a tasset piece hanging down in right leg. A faded blue scarf hid his mouth as he looked Mihoko over.


[@Atlin@Anorak]

Mihoko paused, one eye raising with surprise, a soft smile arousing his lips as he instantly recognized Atlin's voice. "Hey." He said, his feet scuffing upon the ground as he turned around somewhat slowly, not sure if a returned salute would be necessary. His eyes glanced up at the roofs, unsure if he had jumped from them or had snuck up behind him. Either way, he was glad to see someone amidst the confusion with what was happening with the crowds.

He gave a whistle as he looked up at the roofs with Mihoko, using his hand to shield his eyes from the sun.

“Be some trick gettin’ down from there.”

He stared for a moment longer as he listened to the people around him before lowering his hand and looking back to Mihoko. It had been some time since he’d seen the kid, and he was genuinely curious about Three. Her and Mihoko should have been able to take care of eachother. She couldn’t be dead.

“So...”

He said as he looked around, everyone gathering, the building, the general sense of hurried lives.

“This is happening.”

He continued as he looked back at Mihoko with a serious look in his eyes.

“Why?”

"That's what I'm trying to find out." He fidgeted with his hands, finding the hilt of his sword and using it as a distraction. He felt a strange nervousness overwhelm him each time he saw this man; he seemed so perfect in this world, perfectly executing every move, yet a strage aura of mystery surrounded him. His mind then went to Three, he'd need to message her so they could meet up, but he assumed she would be following the crowd, so they could possibly meet up there. "I have no idea what's going on." He said after a few seconds of awkward silence, removing his hand from the hilt of his sword and placing them behind his back.

Atlin smiled behind his scarf has he put his hand on Mihoko’s head. The crowd just kept getting bigger. If it was an event, it must have been meant as a low key deal, otherwise an event message would have gone out to every player.  He looked back down to Mihoko with wide eyes.

“Maybe they beat the game.”

He said as he looked around, removing his hand from the boys head. No. They couldn’t have, not yet. There was to much in the way for them to have won. He shook his head for a moment after watching still more people gather.

“That’d kinda suck. I’m just about to level up.”

He belonged here. Everything about him shouted his love of the situation. He’d been in several dozen brawls because of it, and had seen players die for it. He didn’t know what to do with himself in the real world. His values and ideas were far to outdated to be of any use, but here, where strength of character meant something, he was at peace.

“No, whatever this is, we’ve got a ways to go before we beat SAO. So...How‘s about we do some of this?“

He snapped his fingers as he drew his large dagger and held it in the face of the next player to run by, his free hand rest of the hilt of his sword.

“What is this? Why the massive crowd? Did someone clear the 100th floor?”

His eyes narrowed as he spoke, the thought of losing what he considered to be, his world, infuriated him.

Sasuke smiled. "You're quite smart. I like how you think Topaz. Alright, the forest it is then." Sasuke smiled and started to walk towards the forest. She had always enjoyed walking. It never ceased to excite her.

"mn." She said and began walking. She had always heated walking. It bored her to death. Not smart just knowledgeable.

(Hey quick question: Where the heck are Andor and Atlin?)

Sasuke walked in silence. She didn't have anything to talk about. It didn't take them long to get to the forest. "How's your stealth?" (I can't spell XD)

(not a clue.)
(goes to check OC sheet)
....
"If-y but I can manage." she said.

(bump. I'm looking at you Demyx)

(bump. I'm looking at you Demyx)

"Good. Use it."

"What for?"
