[color=ed1c24][b]Ruby[/b][/color] Ruby was standing in a dark back-alley when she received the mail marked as "URGENT". Opening it, the light of her display illuminated her face, revealing a smile. [i]Finally, time for some action[/i] she thought, grabbing her Kunais and exiting the alley. As she looked to either side, it was clear that chaos was spreading all over the starting town. Some players decided to band together and stand their ground, others were running away in panic. To her left, a group was fending off a LV4 and a LV10 monster, their black backs turned towards her. That was the kind of opening Ruby needed to get started. After a few quick and loudless step she was standing behind the monsters, her kunais faintly glowing green from the poison coating. She decided to attack the weaker one first, slashing multiple times at its back. Together with the attacks from the group, the being went down shortly after. The LV10 monster seemed to realize there was something behind him, and decided to turn around while slashing in her direction. [i]Too slow[/i] she thought with a smile, rolling under the clumsy attack and countering with a few quick slashes. The monster's health bar grew a bit smaller, and it seemed to get angrier at the ninja. It charged at her, but Ruby was once again too quick for it. She rolled to the left and threw some stars in its direction. The monster had trouble attacking her, on the other hand its level was too high for Ruby´s attack to do any significant damage. Getting away seemed to be the wiser choice. [color=ec008c]"Okay lads, i think we should get out of here"[/color] she shouted towards the group behind her. The girl threw a pouch on the ground, hiding herself and the others in a wall of smoke. [color=39b54a][b]Alex - 1,5 hrs ago[/b][/color] He finished the last bit of Redbull and let out a loud burp. There was a lonely slice of pizza left on the table, but he decided to leave that one for breakfast, Alex was too full and too excited to keep eating. A quick glance at the clock revealed there were only about 15mins left until SAO went finally online. He had never really played an MMO before, but very article he had came across about the game had managed to hype him more and more. This morning he had gone out and picked up his copy at the local gamestore, now everything was in place to go online. Alex put the trash away and made himself comfortable on his gamer couch. There was another sixpack of Redbull on the floor, an essential component if Alex was to stay awake all night. He also had some snacks ready to grab in case he grew hungy. Another look at the clock: 5mins left! Alex put the VR gear on his head, opened the first can of Redbull and took a big sip. "Here we go!" He exclaimed excited "Link Start!" [color=ed1c24][b]Ruby[/b][/color] The girl hopped from roof to roof like it was nothing. Her athletic build and acrobatic skills made it easy to get over any obstacle. She preferred the roofs to the roads, as it allowed her to watch over anyone and made it harder to be ambushed. The town center could´t be far ahead, judging by the crowded streets below her. [i]I wonder how strong these GMs are[/i] Ruby thought, grinning, as she started to run again.
