Hey there everyone. I've been here for... well, quite a while now, but I realized recently that I don't really know a lot of people here. Sorry about not really being around and talkative much, but well... using the internet like this is pretty weird for me. It's always been something my brother did...

... Anyway, I guess I should get to asking something so that there's a point to all of this. How many people here do martial arts and weapons training? I'm pretty into kendo myself, and well, I'm kinda curious to see how many people on the community know this kind of stuff.

[Private to Kirito, Yurippe]

The prototype Amuspheres finally came! It took them long enough, but I have both of them with me at my room now! Yurippe, when do you think you're going to be able to come over to pick yours up or try it out?

And Oniichan, if we have trouble setting this thing up you better walk me through it. We only have these to help you out, you know.

Yeah. Later today is definitely fine! I'm pretty sure my mom won't care, and the sooner we get this all set up and try it out the better.

I just hope we're able to use these to somehow get into Sword Art Online. Not that I'm sure the game we're supposed to be playing is fun, but well, getting all of them out is kinda important.

You can introduce me as a friend from school if you need to. I don't know much about kendo, but I can at least fake it if she's not a trained eye since I know how to use two-handed sword style.

[ Not expertly, but well enough to get away from a ninja assassin with only a lot of injuries and make cool poses. She prefers a knife or a gun. ]

I'm sure we will. We can ask Riley and Jin, they're experts at this kind of stuff.

I don't think we'll need to worry about that. I mean, it's not like the only people I talk to at school are from Kendo practice. I think just saying that you're a friend from school should be enough.

[ Though she might want to ask for a match sometime now that she knew this. See how her style held up against a different one. ]

That's good. Because I really have no idea what I'm doing on the tech end. Though Oniichan said he'd walk us through it if we needed help getting everything set up provided we can get it working to talk to him or somehow worldhop him out of there while staying in the Real World here.

Of course, I don't think he'd be able to help us with the getting into Sword Art Online part... unless I have no idea how good at this stuff he actually is.

[ Yuri would accept, even if it'd be a bad idea for Suguha. Mostly because if Yuri's skill isn't high enough to win, she has no problem with cheating so long as she's the one who stands victorious. ]

Well, I don't think we'd be able to worldhop him out of there unless I can somehow get a worldhop programmed into the game that would take him specifically back to his body.. but even that sounds a little too sci-fi within a sci-fi to be possible. Chances are we're just going to have to help him in-game until someone can beat him.

If we do get in though, let me get in first then try to log out, okay? Just in case the programming for Sword Art Online somehow overrides the Amusphere. [ She's not even sure that's possible, but better safe than sorry and dead girls can survive getting killed a lot more than little sisters. ]

[ ... Well, it's a good thing that Suguha doesn't that Yuri would do that then. Or maybe it's a bad thing? ]

Yeah, I guess so. But we don't really know how the community really works, but even I knew it was a long shot when the idea came up.

... But yeah, if we do manage to get into the game, I guess it makes sense for you to go in first. Even if Sword Art Online overrides the Amusphere though, I don't think it's going to be much of an issue. These things are designed so that they CAN'T kill the person who's wearing it, after all.

Maybe, but think about it this way: If the log out button disappears, someone will have to remove it to get it off still right? So someone sees you not able to log out, thinks you're just like them, and no one even tries because they're too worried about the 'what if' after the NervGear situation.

Better safe than sorry right?

... Okay. Okay. Good point.

[ Last thing that she wanted was to be shoved in a hospital, after all. ]

Kirito would probably be pretty ticked off if that happened, too.

Just a bit. Yeah.

[ Though it wasn't until recently that she was even able to realize that he actually cared. Stupid distant jerk. ]

I'm sure it'll work out either way. [ A brief pause. ] I wonder if we could level up a little in another game before we got into Sword Art Online to give us a bit of an advantage?

I'm... not too sure about that last part. I mean, we'd have to find another game to play to use with the Amusphere, not just the beta of ALFheim Online. Since well, that game doesn't have levels, progression is tied to actual skill.

Or at least that's what I'm getting from reading about it, anyway.

Oh. Hmm. [ She was hoping they could level up. ] Uhg, I guess I'll go back to bugging the boys to see if they can't hack in and skip levels for us then. We're going to be useless if we're stuck grinding at low levels for months and I don't even know if I have that long.

Yeah. I'd hate to be stuck doing nothing in there while trying to get up to the same level as everyone else.

[ She's not sure what Yui means by having that long though, but she won't mention it for now. It... probably wasn't her place anyway. ]

Hopefully they'd be able to make it easier for us.

Hopefully. That other game sounds like more fun, if you have to do it based on actual skill. Your brother should've got stuck in that one instead.

[ She giggles a bit at that. ]

Well, it'd make saving him a little easier once we got in, that's for sure. But he hasn't done kendo in years, so he's probably better off where he is. I mean, for being able to take care of himself.

I guess so. We could've swooped in and saved him ten times as hard though~

[ She's just joking. ]

[ And Suguha's laughing at that. ]

Yep.

[ Sorry Kirito, you're probably going to keep being mocked by both of them for a good, long while. ]

We'll have to settle for still saving him pretty hard though, right~?

Definitely! I'm more than ready to get started with that.

... At least, I will be once we get this set up.

I know what you mean. It's been a pain in the ass waiting to get going on this.

[ She's been worried about Kirito ok ]

Yeah, it really has.

... But I guess I shouldn't keep you on too much longer. I mean, the longer we're talking, the longer it's going to be before you get over here so we can start.

Yeah! I'll come over in a bit, just let me finish up something here.

[ She's making her boyfriend dinner he'll probably cry over it but she's trying. ]

I'll be over there in about 30 minutes!

Alright. I'll see you then!

[ Though if she were really that bad at cooking Suguha might need to try teaching her how to cook sometime after their done saving her brother. Or before that, depending on how long it takes them to get into the game. ]

[ Unfortunately, Yuri wouldn't actually ask anyone for help. Still, she'd definitely take it if it came up on its own somehow.

That said, as promised she worldhops over to Suguha's place in about 29 minutes. ]

Suguha!

[ Suguha gets to the door rather quickly, having been expecting Yuri to show up. ]

Hey Yurippe! When you said that it'd be thirty minutes, you really meant it, didn't you?
