Beater

[dual_wield_hax]

[Once Kirito was out of sight, he hightailed it out of the dungeon into the next town, and its there that he brings up his access, having noticed the recording duck icon in the corner.]

You all saw that, right?

I don't know what to do anymore, except walk this road I've made for myself.

Suguha, sorry. Your brother made an enemy out of the whole game for the sake of the many.

"Beater"!? What the hell kind of name is that? If you're going to fake being a bad guy at least insist on a cooler name!

Hey... c'mon Yurippe, I didn't give myself that name. But now it's stuck on me.

You could've come up with something better on the spot and been all "No, I'm a blank, fool!" all dramatically, since you were playing the part anyway.

I'm really bad at ad-libbing. And I had to do something to keep the raid from self-destructing on itself.

I guess so.. it's hard to tell what kinds of stupid things people will or won't do under that kind of stress. If you can make yourself out to be a bad guy and make sure no one gets hurt, that's nothing I'm going to insult you for.

You know, unless you're calling yourself a Beater.

I'm thinking it should just sort of, well, follow me around. I don't think I'm going to be actually called a Beater to my face unless people really hate me for withholding info.

For the record, I only got up to floor 8.

[seasaltzombie]

[ ... wow. uh. that was. that sure was something. ]

You're... stuck inside a game?

[dual_wield_hax]

Yeah I am. Been in it for about a month now.

[seasaltzombie]

A month?! Man... I'm sorry. I think I can actually relate.

How'd that happen, anyway? And - are you gonna be okay?

[dual_wield_hax]

Really? Huh. Yeah it's been a month and it keeps going.

A man engineered a game and device that would trap players in the game, with no logout system. I was stuck in this game because of it. My actual body has been moved to a hospital, thanks to Sugu and mom.

[seasaltzombie]

Yeah. I... was sort of in a similar situation, once. But not for anything as long as a month.

Why would anyone wanna trap all the players inside a game? That doesn't even make any sense.

[unknownrival]

That was noble. Melodramatic. But stupidly noble.

[dual_wield_hax]

It honestly could have been a lot worse if I hadn't done so.

[unknownrival]

That doesn't mean it was easy for you.

[dual_wield_hax]

That is true. I just... ugh. It was probably one of the worst ideas I've had in a long time.

[unknownrival]

For you... I can't imagine it turning out well, but at least your moral integrity is preserved?

[kendoleaf]

... Oniichan.

[Geez, did you have to be such a dick about it back there.]

You're a moron, you know that, right?

[dual_wield_hax]

I'm starting to realize that fact, Sugu. That was not my most brilliant moment ever.

[kendoleaf]

[She sighs.]

Why would you do something like that? Any moron should've been able to tell after a few seconds that you didn't mention what skills it had because you didn't know it'd have it.

[dual_wield_hax]

I wasn't thinking. And the raid was already tensed up by the idea that beta testers weren't even trying their hardest to share information. The one who started it all, he was accusing the testers of abandoning everyone even before we formed up.

[kendoleaf]

... Still.

You better not get yourself killed.

wow threadhopping hi

[tenminutes]

If you're his little sister, can you get me one of the headset things? I should be able move in and out of there or even get killed in the game without a problem, so I might be able to help if I can get in.

[kendoleaf]

Good luck with that. Even if I manage to find a place that's still selling them, if it was that easy to get into the game just by getting another one of the headsets and hacking in the whole thing would be over by now.

[tenminutes]

I'm not planning on hacking or anything, I'm already dead. If I log into the game and someone takes my headset off it won't matter. It'll just take me an hour or two to recover from getting offed. It's worth a try, isn't it?

[kendoleaf]

... You're already dead?

[She really shouldn't be surprised at what she found out about people here.]

But either way, I don't think you're going to be able to get in. I think the servers are completely locked.

... But if I can find one, I'll let you know.
