Cirra Constantine     Alfhiem Online. Cirra's heard of it before, but had no impetuos to attempt it until recently when she heard of Elite actually originating from the game. Peculier as that was, she wanted to learn about how this affected their ability to fight, and there was no greater way then attempting it herself.

    She bought the hardware aand the game, and with a few promotion codes to not have blatently awfull starting equipment. But to get there, she'll need a guide, like Yuuki - getting back might be harder though.

    The Imp woman lands at the edge of town, purple/maroon hair held back in a ponytail folded up and held into place by a hair clip. She's dressed simply since she hasn't had the time to grind up any better gear. A blouse and a pair of brown pants, with a maroon and brown coat over top, and a pair of calf hieght riding boots.

Palmira stares up at the world tree. "That is certainly larger then I had expected." she says alloud for anyone to hear.
Alden There was a crowd of players mumbling about 'rare npc' and 'unique pet' and other names for rather out of place, ai/npc character, and apparently, the source of those rumours was in the outskirts just outside the city!. There is a group of players surrounding a large wolflike, cream colored with blue stripes, "Please, I am not an event pet... don't offer me f..." he sniffs the offered thing, "That does smell good... but no, I am not a game pet." he says, as he approaches the town, obviously a bti distracted.
Yuuki Konno     Yuuki's one of those elites that came from the game itself, though of course it's not like she hangs a sign around her neck or anything. She's not even a member of the Union, so there's no way she could've heard the conversations leading up to Cirra's decision to join. She seems like any other player character. Younger perhaps than most, but not particularly outstanding in that way either.

    She's literally a product of VR, hoever, with absolutely no fighting experience outside VR. Ironic... Palmira didn't have to go very far at all to find the sort of person she was looking for. If only she knew the truth. "I hear you had to fight your way to the top of it to win the game." Yuuki comments casually. "That was before my time here though. Now, we're trying to fight our way to the top of THAT." she says, pointing upwards and outwards. Casual observation might mistake it for a cloud hanging around off the side of Yggdrasil, the world tree. Any real looking however will reveal it's not just a cloud... there's an entire mountain within the clouds... and judging by scale the whole thing's even bigger than the world tree. Ten kilometers across at the base and many times that in height, it's a world in its own right. "We've got a waaays to go yet!" she adds, grinning.
Alexis Maaka     Alexis has not been having a good time starting out here.

    She's been pretty busy not dying in real life to worry about a game, but she HAS been curious about ALO Online. The Salamander's just out of the newbie zone, fresh-faced and kind of new to the whole experience as a whole as reflected by her gear, a skirt, thigh-high greaves and boots, leather cuirass, and steel plate pauldrons and gauntlets, clings to her avatar's curvy but toned physique, and a mid-quality shield going with a war axe that she's spent a good amount of grinding time getting. This makes getting information from fellow players kind of difficult when everybody is insulting her for her inexperience with sword-n-sorcery stuff.

    Like so;
    "What do you MEAN you won't take this thing? I just busted my ass fighting and bleeding for this stupid shield just so it can take up space in my inventory 'cause you're too good for dealing with someone new to this game? This is [BLOCKED]! Bloody Hell, what do I need to do to get some extra gold on this stupid server?" The Salamander with sun-kissed skin, red hair, and yellow eyes is SCREAMING into the chat window at some obstinate player on the other end, having elected to get some crafting materials and gold from the trade channel.

    It is not going well for her. She'll be at this, publicly screaming at what seems like nobody in sight in the midst of the zone, not really paying attention where she's going. One can tell she's been at this sort of 'negotiation' for a good while now, long enough that she's not paying much attention to the recommended levels for the zone.
Nagato     There was a peculiar looking Cait Sith in the town, next to her is some sort of large beast that looks like it could take a lot of blows and there's an axe as large as she is upon her back. She's in front of a few vendors, mostly Leprecaun looking around, tapping her foot with some pondering. "So, heavy armor... a new axe... new light armor..." she mutters some and sighs. To those who know her here, the hairstyle she's sporting is quite unique.

    "So, this should help my defense, right, at the expense of my agility? This is what's called tanking, right?" Tana ponders, looking between a few vendors... "And this axe is a lot better than the one I have? It looks the same..."
Cirra Constantine     Palmira looks up at the floating tower of Aincid, clearly impressed by it's size. "And despite all the players, you haven't finished it yet. Thats rather fascinating actually." she hums. There are several things going on around the pair of Imps that draw her attention though. The creature, the shouting Salamander, and the familiar sounding Cait Sith.

    "Let's begin by-" she pauses as Alden moves past, "-Finding a-" she pauses again as people follow the Digimon. "-Place to-" Alexis bellows.

    "HEAR MYSELF THINK!" she accidently raises her voice and puts a hand to her forehead.

    "I'm sorry, I'm not used to this much noise at once."
Alden The digimon earsplays, and eventually accepts a couple of the treats, at least, the ones that seem edible, "Nope, not a pet see?" he says, and that finally seems to convince a couple of the players, but seem a couple seem just curious and keep following him just for the sake of it. So we have a rather tall wolf, about as tall as the average player character, periwinkle, with blue stripes, and a long, thin tail moving into town, with a small group of curious players. He stops a bit when he hears the screaming and looks towards Alexis. He tries to approach the vendors, even if he had little of the currency, "Wonder if I have an inventory here... not even sure how that works." he mumbles as he pads around.
Alexis Maaka     Alexis, or her alias here, Desdemona Russo, makes a gesture to her chat window that's enough to give off her final sentiment before signing off her conversation with the other barter. She growls angrily just in time to hear Palmira shouting something, and the Salamander jumps in surprise.

    She happens to be pretty close to where Palmira is, and she immediately goes scarlet in shame. "Oh, shit, I'm so sorry about that, really I am. Just this jackass on the private trade channel was ripping me off on something I wanted to sell, you know?" She chuckles sheepishly, before glancing over at the Cat Sith over at the markets. "Maybe she's got better luck with shopping right now."
Yuuki Konno     Yuuki recognizes Tana's voice, and now has a face to put to it. She waves enthusiastically at the odd Cait Sith, trying to catch her attention. She pauses though, looking around when Desdemona shouts. She blinks a few times. Noise doesn't bother her all that much, but she can certainly see Palmira's point.

    Looking the Salamander up and down, Yuuki assesses the problem quickly and decides to move in, both for the sake of helping out a newbie and because peace is a good thing, and she's perhaps a bit less temperamental than your typical merchant at dealing with BS. "Hey there." she greets Desdemona brightly. "I'll buy the shield if you want." she says, naming a price. It's about what a NPC vendor might buy it for, or maybe slightly higher. "That, or I'll buy any gear you want of that tier from a merchant here, and trade you for it." she offers after another moment's consideration. She has plenty of Yrd, and plenty of banked items for that matter. It seems to her having a nice shield to practice classic tanking with might not be a terrible thing either, even if she wouldn't go on raids with it.
Nagato     Just before she completes the purchase, something catches her eyes, an imp that's waving at her. A pause is given and she turns back to the vendor, "One moment." she bids her new pet to follow along, walking towards the waving imp, but as she heads towards a Salamander, she taps her foot... hmm. A shrug is given and she continues her advance, "Heeeeeey!" she shouts out towards the pair of Imps... and the Salamander!

    "Wait, shield? What kind of shield and can I use a single handed axe with it?" there seems to be a theme going on with this Cait Sith... "I might have enough for it if... she doesn't need it..."
Cirra Constantine     Palmira holds up one hand towards Desdemona, "It's fine." she shakes her head, "I'm still getting used to this FullDive experience. I think I need to make some adjustments." her fingers touch her hair briefly and she looks up, "It's still odd being in a different body-"

    Looking at the Digimon, again. She purses her lips, not sure what to make of it.

    Tana hoever pulls her attention away again and the taller Imp looks at the Cait Sith. She's heard that voice before.. "N-" she pauses. One of the advisories was to not use real life names as it was both rude, and security of a real life body was of high importance in the game literature she's read.
Alexis Maaka     Just as she finds herself a lost cause with one vendor, two come up. It's almost serendipitous as Des' sees people offering up yrd for the shield. "Really? Wow, uh, thanks. I've been meaning to get rid of this for ages." She brings up the shield in question, a pretty high-quality one that's only matched by the custom crafted one worn on her avatar.

    Des purses her lips, looking between Tana and Yuuki curiously for a moment as if determining who's gonna be the lucky lady today. "Uhh, I admit I don't know if you guys could share or not myself. Gonna be hard splitting it between you two." She says with a laugh, her eye glancing to Alden for a brief moment before focusing back on the other players. Alden sticks out mildly, but Digimon tend to be electronic in nature anyways, chances are this isn't the first time one of their kind has jumped from one digital world to another.
Yuuki Konno     Hey now, this seems serendipitous! Yuuki looks between Tana and Desdemona, boggling slightly at the timing but not upset by it. "Go ahead!" she gestures to the two. "I prefer finding my own anyways. Gives me an excuse to get out and get the heart pumping!" she grins brightly. She's wearing Ancient gear after all. Not that any of the people here would recognize it... but the people of Aarun certainly would. The gear she's wearing now is the gear they're all here to group up for. Anyone higher-geared, and there are few enough of those, would already be in the flying city. Still, it's not about the gear. It's about the journey! At least, so Yuuki would claim.
Nagato     Tana perks up a bit, looking at the offered shield, turning towards Yuuki with a curious tilt. "Are you sure? I'll back away from it if you need, I'm... actually not sure how much money I have here nor do I have the skill set for it yet.... I'm still trying to practice this... tanking thing." she turns back to Desdemona and ponders, "If she's okay with it, then, how much do you want for it?"

    In her ear though, she hears a specific voice on her radio calling for her... responding, she looks at the two Imps... "I know one of you..." she whispered, "You asked for me on the radio...."
Cirra Constantine     Palmira coughs into her hand and raises it as Tana asks for someone to identify themselves. "P-Palmira." as if she were unused to saying her name. "I only just started."
Alexis Maaka     Desdemona is thankfully nice enough to give a more reasonable price than expected, just enough to get her some new crafting components. She seems interested in that system, if only to get herself better gear than she could haggle for.

    "Desdemona's the name, good to meet you guys. I guess I got lost and took a wrong turn while I was caught up in negotiation."
Yuuki Konno     Yuuki steps back, not wanting to loom over the transaction. Figuratively speaking, at least; she's kind of small, easily dwarfed by any Salamander and most other races besides. That's not to say she's completely uninterested or uninvolved. "Always good to see new people." she says with a smile.
Nagato     The coughing gets her attention and she turns towards Palmira, smirking. "Palmira, huh?" ... a pause, "You're taller than me." she proceeds to turn back towards Desdemona and nod, opening up a trade window to put in the requested price and a slight bit more and makes it so. "I will put this shield to good use then." she waits for the process to complete before she opens her menu to change equipments, a one handed axe and the new shield are put on.

    "So what brings everyone here today?"
Cirra Constantine     "I wanted to see ALO for myself, after hearing... about it." she skirts around 'Elites' "From someone on the radio." she nods her head slightly at Yuuki, "I don't know if I'll stick with it just yet. It's mostly to satisfy my curiosity."
Yuuki Konno     "I'm just hanging out before my guild logs in." Yuuki replies. She, of course, is logged in literally all the time. They have lives, work, school, and treatments too. Still, they all make time to get together whenever possible.

    She pauses, giving a funny look. "Speaking of which. Hello Siune." she says, smiling fondly. Siune isn't actually present though, or at least Yuuki's looking at no one in particular when offering the greeting. "Listen, I gotta go! Add me if you want to talk later, okay? Name's Yuuki!" she says, before she literally jumps into the air, wings popping out and taking off before gravity can catch up with her.
Alexis Maaka     "Curiosity." Des doesn't bring up the idea of GGO yet, instead opting to just speak vaguely. She nods to Tana before handing over the shield to the cat with. Yuuki gets a raised eyebrow, "Guild? What guild is it by chance?" She asks, just in time for the girl to fly away.

    Desdemona's wings twitch a little bit, and the Salamander frowns. "Well, I guess I'll have to find my own way."
Nagato     A smile is given and she turns to Yuuki, "We should get together for a dungeon run, Yuuki. Would be fun to do. And I want to practice this thing called tanking." she gives a wave as she leaves before turning to Palmira and Desdemona. "So, you're just here to try it out and... you're here for curiosity..." a pause, "And I'm just here to get new gear..." she shakes her head a bit and looks around, "Are you two doing anything fun?"
Alexis Maaka     Desdemona shrugs, "I dunno, I'm still kind of new. Got out of the newbie zone a few minutes ago and tried my hand at haggling." She does send Yuuki a friend request, just to be safe. Same goes to Tana and Palina. "Guess I might have to dig a bit deeper."
Cirra Constantine     Palmira looks back at Tana as she mentions being the taller one. "...And you have cat ears."

    Lifting her eyes to Yuuki she nods, "I will. Thank you." she opens up the menu, and despite in experience manges to follow the logic of social-> friends and adds Yuuki's name.

    "I only started a few days ago. I probably wouldn't have made it here without Yuuki's help."
Nagato     "Well, that means I'm your senior then." Tana gets a grin on her face and a gleam in her eyes. "And.. what's wrong with cat ears?" this is definately NOT the Admiral Cirra's probably used to. "Anyways.." she moves to send friend requests to both Desdemona and Palmira.. "So you're both checking it out? Ah... perhaps I should introduce myself."

    She bows slightly, "I'm Tana, the Cait Sith, part of the Gatecrashers. A pleasure to mee you both!"
Alexis Maaka     "That so?" Desdemona accepts the invite pretty quickly once she sends one to Palina as well. "Desdemona Russo. What's this Gatecrashers outfit, then?" She plays dumb for now, knowing she was part of the group before...things involving a hacked account happened, necessitating a new start. Might as well play it safe.
Cirra Constantine     Palmira accepts both invites, but blinks at Tana. Thats not much like Nagato at all. "I suppose it does make you our senior." she says slightly puzzeled.

    "Yes, what are the gatecrashers?" she says, interest drawn.
Nagato     "From what I remember, it's a group led by Kirito due to previous events happening before even I joined in." she comments, "I can see if Kirito would invite you two but I'm not sure what his... restrictions are. Then again, he did take me, an utter newbie to this game..." she shrugs, looking around, "So, do you two need equipment or anything?"
Alexis Maaka     Des grins, "Nah, I'm good for the time being. I may not be high level," She pulls out her axe, beautifully engraved with Nordic-runes and well balanced as she deftly twirls the one-handed axe in her hand. It's a nice, choppy weapon that offers enough elegance to its rugged design to give it some style. "But I do got myself a pretty solid weapon to carry me."
Cirra Constantine "Equipment would be usefull." Palmira says, "I have a heavy spear, but it's only a promotional item I got for buying the hardware. But I'm wearing mostly beginer armor." she looks down at herself.
Nagato     "Well, there's a Leprechaun that does great equipment over here, I can front some of the cost for you two." as she grabs both of their hands and starts tugging them along, "Come on, let's go!" Okay, what happened to the Admiral, who replaced her with this happy little cat...
Cirra Constantine     Palmira is about to say something when Tana grabs her hand and pulls her along "Wha-?!" she stumbles half a step before catching up. "Are you.. sure?" she struggles to find wording. "I don't mean to impose on you."
Alexis Maaka     Desdemona's too caught off-guard by Tana grabbing her to protest, instead just going along with the flow. "Well, I could go with some new gear, yeah...maybe something with pants. I don't think I know how to work with a skirt, to be honest." She remarks, glancing down at herself as they head along.
