"Put those toys down 'fore I put you down," Abaddon warned, threat emphasized with the sound of his gun's hammer being cocked back. The silvery barrel of his weapon of choice glinted in the sunlight peeking inside the temple. It was light in Abby's practiced hands, and his body showed no signs of dropping his aim any time soon. His other hand was placed securely on another revolver on his hip, this one dark in color, with a chamber that seemed to hold larger bullets. "No hard feelin's," he said, eyes narrowing, as the young lady put her fancy-schmancy throwing knife away.

Following suit, Abbadon bent his arm, pointing the barrel of the gun up at the ceiling, but still not holstering his piece. His arm moved back into aiming position as the silver-haired swordswoman came closer. "Stop right there," he commanded, tilting his head a bit to the side and glancing over at Yaozu. He flexed the fingers of the hand hovering over his other firearm, "I don' care much for pleasantries, ma'am. Name's Abbadon."
'Well... at least it isn't an almost-full party,' Yukimura sighed mentally, both in relief and frustration before continuing on with his little trek. "Fine then. C'mon. I heard from a friend that the next village up has better mobs to farm for EXP and some decent quests. ...He was a <<Beta Tester>>, so I trust his judgement," he explained with a single half-truth. Having a 'friend' would be a decent excuse. Unnecessary attention was definitely one of the things he wished to avoid here. "Besides. That field'll be swarming with <<Newbies>> soon enough, and I don't want to waste time getting my kills stolen."

Upon arrival in his desired area, he stopped in his tracks and, with a few swipes of his hands, brought up the Party Menu to send the request. He looked back to Lily, "Are you absolutely sure you want to leave your friends behind? I can always escort you back or go sifting around for one of those teleport crystal things."
Two... No, four players following after him. The two lady friends from earlier, and two young men who were presumably party members of theirs. Or perhaps they were all just following suit and were completely unrelated. He couldn't blame them for that after all. Taking initiative for the EXP was important in this 'death game'. The more efficient you were at it, the more powerful you were. Simple as that. He couldn't afford to manage the problems and levelling of four or five people. So he just dashed in silence, the people following after or leaving or whatever.

...Still, he was a <<Beta Tester>>. He had the ability- No, had the obligation, to pass his knowledge, if not sacrifice his EXP. Besides, he had both high speed and the <<Sprint>> skill, so if push came to shove he could easily outrun any player and go his own way. So he slowed how fast he was moving in order to allow the others to catch up before starting back up on an easier pace.

"...<<Ikusaba>>," Yukimura answered, voice coarse as usual, "as for your offer... I'll have to decline. I'm sorry, but I'm not sticking around in these fields."

real quick, 3. things.1. what is dps in the fight class?2. i noticed that you put short bio instead, does it have to be a short bio? i like to plan my characters out in depth.3. you stated that there are no one-liners. how long are your preferred posts, 2-3 lines, or 4-5 lines?


1. Damage per second. How much pain they can put out in a short time, either from sheer speed or pure, physical strength. My fighter is of the former variety.
2. Not-short bios are fine, I think. Mine is hardly as short as I think short is.
3. Can't answer that.

I'm still in classes but I'll try to get something up.
Yukimura's blood ran cold upon Akihiko Kayaba's declaration. It was as if time slowed down to nothing more than a snail-like crawl. This virtual paradise was nothing more than a gilded cage, trapping all 10,000 unlucky souls within it's gates until a party to cleared all 100 Floors. Looking around, everyone else seemed to be scared, angry, sad, in denial, or perhaps some combination of the four. However...

Yukimura couldn't help but smile peacefully, as if it were all some bad joke with a terrible punchline.

Finally, a second declaration. It seemed that the <<Game Master>> had left them all a present. With a few swipes of his hand, the young man glided through the inventory screens and saw the addition: a <<Hand Mirror>>. Not one to waste any time looking at it oddly, Yukimura decided to inspect the object. Suddenly, like all the other players, he was engulfed in a bright light.

When the light-show ended, Yukimura found himself not staring at the avatar of <<Ikusaba>>, but rather, his own true, ghostly-looking appearance. He recoiled back a bit, before realizing that Kayaba was finished dropping bombs and he was wasting time standing there like a fool. A few mobs wasn't much to go around for 10,000 players, and he had absolutely no time to waste. He had to get out in the field and pull some more level ups.

...Even so...

Yukimura glanced around at the other players. All of those were healthy young men and women with their futures ahead of them. He couldn't just hog all the EXP and leave them to fend for themselves. He just couldn't. However, letting them put themselves in danger fighting bosses with their hypothetically superior levels while he sat on his ass, twiddling his thumbs wasn't an option either.

The sickly teen clenched his fist and snarled. He turned on his heel and rushed past what seemed to be two friends, both females. Pink-haired and black-haired. Not that it mattered.

There was no time to waste. They all had a long journey ahead of them.
Ah right, forgot to ask. Do Kirito and Asuna exist in this RP? And by that I don't mean 'are they playing', but 'are they doing the stuff they do in canon'?

Also i'm a bit curious, but Grey, what's up with your sig changing every other hour or so? I've seen it change like 10 to 15 times in the past day or two. Not that it's a big deal, just curious.


I have a sig rotator.
Suddenly, a flash of light and he was back in the plaza in the Starting City. For the second time today, Yukimura deadpanned: "What." It was very unexpected, and ended up having robbed him of some EXP from a kill. Oh well, hopefully this'd be addressing the little Log Off issue...

It seemed he wasn't the only one either, what with many others looking about in confusion.
"Well James, you never told me you had an evil ex," Kiri joked after reaching his travelling companion's position, "So shall do we have to wait for the other six, or...?" The edge of his lips perked up a bit. "I'm surprised though, and here I thought that you'd be the first nut case to be attack on DC grounds," he remarked before his sort-of-smile fell, "...But... the situation still doesn't sit right with me."

Kiri shrugged before walking away and saying, "Best be on our guard, I guess. No telling what shit's going to be going down in the next few days... As for me, I'm going home." As he passed by Elu on his way home, he mumbled a quick-but-audible: "Good job out there, kid."
TL;DR post up.
