Floor 001 - Video/Action

[blackwyrm]

[Oh hey, and yet another newcomer! Of course, while he doesn't go 'wtf-is-this-shit' at the phone, he still looks terribly confused at his current predicament, as the man in black coat is stuck on the Dark Hour.]

[Despite his confusion though, he seems to be able to get rid of the incoming Shadows easily. He makes no particular beeline around the town, and after what seemed to be ten minutes or so, he picks up the phone again since he doesn't seems to be able tap the air to open a menu or shits.]

Where am I? Which floor is this?

[Certainly doesn't makes any sense, right? But he'll close the communication for now as he get rid of more roaming Shadows around the town. He'll still pay attention to any message should it reach his phone, though.]

[blackwyrm]

Which floor are we in exactly?

[Sorry, he's... kinda slow at the moment.]

[monohoshizao]

[Oh novel's protag. Never changes.]

I am not entirely sure on how to comprehend that, young man.

[blackwyrm]

[You're just jelly because you are not even remotely important to your series.]

...

Wait, are we still in Sword Art Online?

[Fourthwalling? Lampshade hanging? What is that?]

[monohoshizao]

[To belong in Assassin class you must suffer from that, son.

He chuckles at that.]

Ah, so that's the matter? Apparently, you're not in your original world anymore. [A small pause.] Please do not question on how and why at me for I do not know the answer myself.

[blackwyrm]

[Are you happy now? There's an invisible explosion on his head. His mind is totally blown, pops.]

...How is this even possible?

[Suddenly alternate world. Also screw you, he's asking what he needs to ask.]

[monohoshizao]

I thought I made it very clear not to ask me that kind of question.

[blackwyrm]

Sorry, I mumbled that out loud.

[He really shoulda.]

Then let's see- [He looks around for a bit, pondering.] We're in Japan-- No, America?

[Because in 2022, Japan in animes still looks the same.]

[monohoshizao]

The latter, yes.

And yet another person who is familiar with Japan. What a pleasant night.

[blackwyrm]

[Is that a sarcasm? Kirito couldn't tell, btw.]

I always lived there. I suppose you too?

[monohoshizao]

[Go figure that out yourself, my boy.]

In some way, implying it like that is not wrong. [Kojiro then put his sword away on his back.] Forgive me for not doing this sooner. I am Kojiro Sasaki, or some address me as Assassin. It's a pleasure to meet you, young man.

[blackwyrm]

['Assassin' would make a nice code name in a game online, really!]

[So... how should he introduce himself here? Using his IRL name or just simply...]

Kirito. Nice to meet you, too, Kojiro-san.

[Well, that will works. For now.]

[monohoshizao]

[I see what you did there.]

Kirito-dono, then. [No, shut up. True gentleman use honorifics like a damn boss.] I take you're far from a beginner level in fighting with a sword? You did more than well against those Shadows.

[blackwyrm]

[He hears the challenge from it, but Kirito's not the type to brag about his skill, especially not at this moment.]

Shadows, huh? So we got such company in here as well?

[monohoshizao]

There are Personas as well on our part.

[blackwyrm]

[Okay, he's listening here. Just crossing his arms and tilting his head a bit in curiosity.]

[monohoshizao]

[



Nope. He stays like this, not moving even a muscle here except a smirk or two.]

[blackwyrm]

[You betch.]

So, what's this Persona?

[monohoshizao]

It's rather hard to describe, so see it for yourself.

[He positions himself.]

Yoshitsune.

[And bam! A wild Persona appeared behind Kojiro! And since mun is too lazy to put Yoshitsune's description, google it mofo.]

[blackwyrm]

[Wow rude man. Also, legit surprise.]

Wow.

[Well, there are Beast Tamer in SAO, but never once Kirito seen something that... big.]

[monohoshizao]

That response of yours somehow intrigues me.

[Screw Beast Tamer, we have Purse Owner.]

[blackwyrm]

Kojiro-san, you're easily amused, aren't you?

[monohoshizao]

Perhaps I am, young Kirito. Not to your liking?

[blackwyrm]

Not quite, to be honest.

[monohoshizao]

I suggest you get used to it, then.

[blackwyrm]

Right.

[Wow, he scoffs here.]
