Stories of Aincrad; The Last Mile [OOC][OPEN]

[Castle Crashers]

I know how you feel, hun.

Well, I don't know how it feels, but it's safe to say that we all understand it. And no matter what happens, it's okay. We'll be patient, and we'll understand if you do or say anything wrong, so don't worry!

Indeed, you're always accepted and safe with us, Charli.

[Parcia]

Posted, Aterro moved in and drew aggro.
Enemy power attacked.
Aterro Blocked.
Aterro Power bashed.
Enemy staggered.
Aterro disarmed it with a heavy attack. Literally.
Enemy disarmed and staggered.
Enemy Open for fallow up attack.
Aterro ready to pass out.

I'm not exactly good at writing motivational things, but what she says is true!

Ditto.

[Sky-TheLandOfNekos]

So, what's going on in this?

[Parcia]

So, what's going on in this?

FLoor 99

Floor boss.

The skrubs rushed the Boss with out having a tank to draw aggro. Still managed to battle ax one of it's arms off. Aterro (me) surfaces again, having stalked shadowed the group after becoming red player.

Aterro blocked a power attack and staggered, while liberating it of its other arm. Its a 9 foot tall statue that can control these flying ping pong balls of death.

[Tracian Empire]

So, what's going on in this?

Difficult to explain.

We're in SAO, at least.

Currently, we're doing a small arc that Charlia really wanted to do, which includes a boss fight on Floor 99, where the characters currently are.

But we are thinking about rebooting, and the question is what to do after this small arc ends.

The options as of now are to remain in Aincrad, and have plots and fun and stuff, or to try to move to a new story arc of SAO.

I say we go to GGO, imagine Aterro with a Minigun, or Noble with a pair of proton swords.

Interesting, but judging from the explanation provided above yours, it doesn't seem like the greatest environment to introduce a new character.

Haha...

Like that'll stop me.

Well Parcia.. usually acts as if he is in a MMORPG.

Which is true, but the rest of us tend to forget that from time

Well, you can certainly bring a character in, at any time you want.

GGO is dark, gritty, and has provided very little information on the full extent of what's possible in that world.

I think Alfheim would be better.

I've just shown up, though, so my opinion doesn't have much sway. XD

Aterro was an E sports gamer and game reviewer in a past life, things like the classic "Stagger-n-stab" are more muscle memory then thought.

And Imp Master race.

Well, we are kinda stuck on this, so any opinions would be helpful XD

Yeah, it's true. But Alfheim would lack a main plot. Like, in Aincrad it was to beat all floors and to escape the game. In GGO, it would probably be to catch Death Gun.

But in Alfheim.. I'm not sure how we'd be able to put in place the story arc's plot.

Well, we could certainly use some ideas. Because adapting the main plot with Sugou as its antagonist would be difficult.. because of Sugou.

But if we think about it, we can certainly find some main plot.

The other (small) problem is what our characters would do in real life, in the short time between Aincrad and Alfheim.

Because I don't know, I would like to roleplay that.

[Sky-TheLandOfNekos]

Born in Colorado with a number of siblings, he is currently 20. Throughout the majority of people signature earlier years, he had a number of interests raging from both the physical and mental sides of the spectrum. But, above all else, the idea of a virtual world, a place of infinite possibility as though you were in a state of lucid dreaming, had always been something to leave him in a state of wonder.

Picture Appearance:

(Straight forward. Gives you and the other players a way to visualize the character. If image is too large, find a smaller sample or URL text link it. Please do not spoiler it. Remeber that they look the same in game as in the “real” world due to the Mirror Image iten given to all when the death game began)

We could all agree to meet up at some one's house, have an orgy and celebrate those we lost.

For the characters, they probably would remain in the hospital for a few days to do some medical examination, then be released back to their families to begin physical and psychological therapy.

But they might not want to jump back in.

That's my best guess.

That is one of the issues. Without something to drag them back in, I don't see the characters directly jumping into ALO.

But then, I don't think that any of us, the old players, will be dropping their old characters. I mean, I hope not, at least. We've had those characters for quite a lot of time. So we need to find a way around that. We need something in the plot to force them to enter ALO.

And in terms of what they'll do in real life, that's the thing, we have characters with special situations. We have characters that might be in dangerous situations once the game ends. And things like that. And besides from that, the SAO characters did meet in real life.

So before starting ALO, even if it is in this thread, before we reboot, I'd like all characters to meet in real life, one way or another.

They could have a "Survivor Reunion" or something similar to that where they could have tossed around the idea of jumping once more into the virtual world to honor their lost.

I'm just imagining Noblemind finding out about Sugou and angrily calling everyone else and screaming at them over the phone that they will find this guy, and they will kill him.

XD



Thanks for what you said, guys. Means a lot.

That could be a really, really good way to begin it.

And then once they get in ALO, the actual plot will start.

Are they still traumatized by being caught in SAO for more than two years? Noblemind doesn't care! They need to find Sugou!

No problem!

"You guys think you know what 'traumatized' means?! You have no idea what 'traumatized' means! And we're going to kill this guy before anyone else gets a hands-on lesson in the definition of 'traumatized', got it?!"

"Yes, Noblemind..."

"You're just saying that because you're scared of me, not because you actually care, am I right?"

"Yes, Noblemind..."

"...I thought as much."

[Parcia]

I had the idea of Aterro dropping a hint about offing him self, figure it would make some interesting plot.
