Experiment 249

Sword Art Online: Neon Colossus

"Queeny, don't worry your spoiled little head, watch this." Pterrophos said, pointing to the duel about to happen. He hopped onto the table, swiping through his menu to quickly equip his rapier. "Hey hey hey hey! No fighting the best warrior in this place without me announcing it." He turned around to face the room once more, still standing on the table. He began walking to where Repageroy was sitting and kicked his chair over, riding it down to the ground muttering "People might like you more if you didn't steal things" quiet enough so only he heard. The chair landed with a thud. "PLLLLLLLACE YOUR BETS!" He shouted, walking up to the boys rapier in hand. He brushed their swords away with ease, each time his rapier touched their swords it would flash green fro the duration of contact. He pointed to the boy. "And in this corner we have... Uh, who are you?"

"I'm Zeth, I was the best fighter in the Aincrad Liberation Force and soon to be Neon Colossus! Now back off and let us fight weirdo." The boy shouted, ready to go.

"And in THIS corner we have Mez! The ACTUAL best fighter in Neon Colossus! Now I want this to be a first strike duel. First clean hit wins, and no, we're not actually betting." he bellowed. "By the way, Zeth, I'm Pterrophos. You're new boss, leader of Neon Colossus." he winked at the boy and raised his rapier while stepping back, tripping over the downed Repageroy, and now sitting on his chest with no sign of caring. Pterro wasn't gay but he was comfortably straight enough to mess with the Russian thief.

2 scouting groups of 4 have returned

OK NOW I CAN DO THINGS like roleplay n shit. Will get those NPC's up and advance plot a little. I didn't add 27 NPC's for no reason!

[Gm note: before doing what I did to Repageroy, PM the user like I did so it's ok to control their character for a moment]

[Gm note 2: NPC's are all free game unless they evolve into real characters]

Yeah that'll be great actually. Wouldn't need to make an intro post, just make it with the new character sheet (Max of 2 characters per person)

Also I got a job, so that's sweet. I get to put things between bagels

Last bump in this int check

Sword Art Online: Neon Colossus

Just a little bit more time in the guild hall, then it'll drop into mostly just our characters interacting so you don't have to make up more NPC's to deal with. These new people can remain faceless if you want.

With a firm grip on Khârn's wrist, he lead the man to the front of the hall, to the guild's entrance doors. "Khârn, as you may know, most people in the guild tend to deal with you, almost as much as the deal with me or Laurent. People like you, and well, I like you a lot too. And because of this love for people you have, I thought I'd put you right here for what's about to happen." Pterrophos spun on his toes to face the doors. He gripped the handles and shouted "What's a party without guests!"

He tore the door open, and outside stood maybe 30 new guild members, some armed to the teeth and wanting to fight, some were shifting through menus and others had food in their hands (nothing even close to Mez or Sasha's cooking, though.) All of them were there, however, to see two people (and sadly neither of those were Pterrophos.) They had heard of the heavy losses on the front lines and our guild was represented well by Mez and Khârn's looks of pure indomitable levels willpower. The way those two looked was apparently far more inspiring than anything Pterrophos ever did to try and attract new members.

"I know how much you love to get to know new members, so I got you 27 of them all at once. And Mez, you have to make sure they're good enough to fight with us." He raised his arms and faced the table of food as the new members all walked, ran, or pushed their way into the guild hall around the two. 75 members made them almost as big as the Divine Dragon Alliance, but Neon Colossus wasn't an all warrior guild. Pterrophos pat Khârn on the back and disappeared leaving him surrounded by admirers, and dragging a few toward Mez ass well. Only three stayed following him as he returned to his seat, asking about the two they were too nervous to speak to personally. "Now THIS is a party!" The mood of the 46 saddened members was getting coated in the joys of the 27 new members who were overjoyed to see these heroes and share stories of battle. "You three, grab a seat and... uh stand there and dig in to this food, best you'll find around here." He clapped after giving them the order, smiling at the growing crowds around Mez and Khârn.

A message popped up confirming one pair of scouts had returned, awaiting three other pairs before the meeting would start.
