need practice for forestcovered pls halp

[avantguard]

Hmmmmmm, if it's for fun I don't understand why you need to practice. Nobody is forcing you to do it and your life isn't at stake. It can't be done professionally for money either like some of those other VRMMO's.

But... I can understand the desire to do the best you can for people you like.

Keep working hard, mun-neesan──

- Ah!? Usually I'm the older one!

[ well, her explanation manages to get him to shut his mouth, even for a little while. he was probably never going to touch a video game in his life, but the information was interesting to a degree all the same. he was pretty savvy with technology given he was...you know, a scientist...at some point...

but he had never heard of anything like this. or never cared to look into silly games like the kind she's explaining. he simply nods and smiles. ooookie dokie then! that was informative. ]

Aha, how interesting. However did you get into these sort of things? ☆

[avantguard]

[he'd prob like it you can play the bad guy without regrets

not that he prob had any

there's a pause and she looks shy again]

It was an accident... but it's how I met Kirito-kun so I don't regret anything anymore.

[there's your fancy love talk toto]

[lovephobe]

[ oh definitely! he's already playing the big bad in his own game, why not shoot for the stars in the virtual realm as well... ]

You regretted playing before meeting the famed Kirito-kun? ☆ And why is that? It sounds suuuper fun! [ not really but he's a nosy asshole who likes to dig into people psyches, so ]

[avantguard]

[FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS TOTO

small smile]

It was fun at times but-

[froooownssss

2000 out of 10000 players died in the real world because of that game. they had been stuck for two years trying to beat Aincrad to go back home because that was the only way]

A game like that shouldn't exist again. [BACK TO CHEERFUL]

Kirito-kun was pretty famous though, now that you mention it. His nickname was The Black Swordsman because that's the only color he wore.

[lovephobe]

[ if she would have voiced that, his interest probably would have spiked by at least fifty percent. death is kinda his thing, so to know it wasn't just an innocent little computer game...

ah well... he only nods. ]

Aha, wearing only black? That's kinda morbid. ☆ Plus, my nickname is waaay better than his! It's simple, but it's cute. Wanna hear it?

[ no time for yes or no! only answers. ]

It's 'Mockingbird'! That's the nickname I have in my favorite game. And I'm pretty famous, too.

[avantguard]

[WHOS TALKING ABOUT MORBID??

she would say yes anyway

it's cuter that's for sure]

Mockingbird? Why?

[lovephobe]

[ BLACK IS A MORBID COLOR!!!! THE COLOR OF DEATH ]

Aha, who knows. ☆ Everyone who plays the game is given a special bird name. I just got the best one!

[avantguard]

[WHO LIKES BLOOD AND BEING CREEPY??

he does have a mocking tone...? but she keeps this to herself]

Mn, mockingbirds are cute...

Ah! Except I know your nickname and not even your real name! I'm sorry. I'm Asuna, nice to meet you.

[HEADBOW]

[lovephobe]

[ uhhhh definitely not toto! he's but an innocent child with a heart of gold. ]

Aha! That's true. It's nice to meet you too, Asuna, I'm... [ there's a pause, as though he's trying to remember his name before -- ] -- Ah! Toto. Sakigami Toto. ☆ Just Toto or Mockingbird works, though.

[ he sticks his hand out for her to shake. ] Treat me real nicely, okay?

[avantguard]

[takes that hand with a smile]

Toto?

[and then suddenly giggles]

Wah! Even your real name is cute!

[lovephobe]

Aha! You really think so? That's super nice of you, Asuna-chan. ☆

[ yeah. thanks!! he stole it from a kid he killed. also he stole this body too. awesome. ]

So basically I'm as cute as a baby animal, right? Or even cuter?

[avantguard]

A-Ahhh...

[NO COMMENT because she looks nervous

and she should be if she knew what was in those brackets jfc]

Actually, it reminds me of an NPC I met. A really cute dog.

[lovephobe]

A dog? ☆

[ like from that one diddly darn western movie?? ]

I'm more of a cat person, but dogs are cute enough. They're so full of love, y'know?

[avantguard]

[yer dern tootin'

there was also a lion, tinman, and scarecrow and they had to rescue their friend dorothy from the wicked witch of the west lol]

And they're always so happy and friendly too. I've always wanted one.

[lovephobe]

Aha, I guess so!

[ he's never been one for pets, for reasons that are probably obvious... woopsies ]

Dogs may be cute, but I prefer the attitudes of cats more. They make you work for their love, so that's really appealing. ☆

[avantguard]

[if he ever killed a dog istg]

Hmmm, I guess so. I wouldn't know but... you have the same name as a famous dog so──

[wait that sounds kind of rude

is kirito rubbing off on her]

Sorry! What I mean is! It would make more sense if you liked dogs more, but I guess the world works strangely like that. Not everything is what it seems. Even if you share a name, you prefer cats.

[lovephobe]

[ woopsies ]

Famous dog?

[ is that why she thinks he should like dogs more. his hands are frozen in a clapping motion as he takes a minute to think over her simplistic way of thought before he laughs and nods. okiiie dokie then! ]

That's true, but it's just like you said, isn't it? Not everything is as it seems. ☆

[avantguard]

[HOW DARE YOU?????

she raises a finger to make a point]

I'm still not an old woman though.

[lovephobe]

Aha, I'm still not so sure about that. ☆

[avantguard]

[>:T

so rude!!!
