Thread: A New Life (Sword Art Online-based RP) [Yuna & Malin's 1x1]

Suki Kimura Online UserName Tsukihime A few more blinks was all it took for Suki to feel her vision finally adjust. She panicked for a few brief moments, hardly able to see. But when her hands moved up, she 'felt' the reason her hair in front of her eyes had merely blocked the scenery. ...Well duh. Ugh, gotta get used to this new body I suppose ... A smirk crossed her face as more scoldings echoed in her mind for a while. Her right hand took a portion of the new blonde hair and pulled it away, enough to see all that was now before her. The smirk almost instantly faded away as her mouth opened, her breath taken away even. ... Holy .. wow .... It was all she could muster and verbally say aloud. She loved her hometown of Nagasaki, Japan, and had deemed it one of the most beautiful things she'd seen in her life. But this .... had a new aura and beauty about it. She couldn't fully explain it or place it to herself. Then again, sometimes it was the reactions that was all one needed to make any verdict of sorts too. Her head gazed around, Suki's right hand continuing to keep her hair held away before an idea came to her. All first level characters were given basic equipment, yes? So .... where was hers now? No backpack over her shoulders ... and for a bit, there seemed to be no hints on where to find her gear. ... You're fucking kidding, right? The seventeen year old murmured, panic trying to take over once again. Curiosity dominated her mindset though as she found a device similar to a PDA or iPhone at her side. After a few manipulations and navigations, she found the 'backpack', seeing even that was more of a virtual thing as opposed to having to carry every single thing around. In it's own way, it was honestly a bit of a blessing. She thought back on other games which didn't have any system even close to this ... and inwardly cringed. One likely could become easily overburdened with far too much weight if this were any other MMO. But alas, it wasn't. Scrolling down through the list, Suki found a few basic pieces of armor and the item she had been seeking out at first for her idea a dagger. The pride of all assassin-like characters. Pressing each item on the list, they slowly appeared on her, the blade literally in her hands within seconds. She swallowed softly, gazing and admiring down at the weapon. Seeing such a thing on television shows and similar media methods was one thing. But to have one? That was something so very new. It held a sense of power and danger simultaneously. Her head shook no as she managed to mentally convince herself her hands were much more stable at least enough to avoid being stupid and wounding herself. Exhaling softly, she lifted the dagger up towards her face. With a deft, graceful movement, she cut a bit of the bangs away, letting them fall upon the grass. There .. she murmured, grateful to now have an easier view of ... well, everything. The grass, land, sky ... any and everything. Her hand rested near her side, the blade remaining grasped firmly within it. A genuine smile replaced the more typical smirk that she tended to have upon her face. Kneeling before a nearby pond, she noted Suki had cut off the exact amount of bangs she'd wanted. While it did allow her to see everything, it still kept her eyes somewhat concealed, enough to keep the 'mysterious' feel around her. Good ... She murmured, standing up as she began going through the quest list. It was basic, of course. Then again, most MMOs didn't have anything overly fancy at the start. Besides, drop items and equipment would no doubt show up later on. A small chuckle passed her lips as the word 'pigs' caught her eyes. Cliche but ... ah well. Any starting point was better than none. Clicking on the tracker, she began to follow the map, passing several other figures along the way. It was selfish ... but she hardly paid heed to any. Most other MMOs Suki played, she did solo -- for the most part, anyways. She did dungeons with others but that was generally the most. Besides, in her mind, it seemed more fitting for an assassin ... didn't it? She nodded slowly to herself. Of course it does, especially the 'freelancer' types. No shame in doing things without help .... Her anxiety began to kick in slightly as she counted past ten in the amount of individuals she walked by. Without thinking, her hands reached back and carefully pulled the hood attached to her cloak up, concealing most of her face from the sides. One would have to be directly in front of her by this point to see the Aryan-looking female. Soon enough, she arrived in front of the pigs. It was gathering their skins to turn into an NPC. Pulling the PDA up back again, she began scanning around to look at the section on how to do Skills. There appeared to be no hotkey. Well ... this would definitely be a productive day, if nothing else. The thought made her smile. It hadn't been more than five minutes of being within Sword Art Online but already, Suki was loving this life much more than her 'old' one.
