[There a bunch of grumbling as a figure darts around, their figure hidden by a large cloak. The figure stops and looks at the screen, annoyed.]

Look, I don’t know who you are and how you can do... this. [The figure gestures with their arms, both voice and figure revealing them to be female] But, I’m in no mood to deal with this. Leave me alone right now, okay?

[No screens are shutting down.]

Did you hear me? Go away! Leave me alone!

Pray, I cannot. It will not leave me alone as well.

[This coming from a young man dressed in what appears to be some kind of... subligar? At any rate, he's taking a break in some kind of forest, with a bow set to the side as he's drinking from water.]

I have no idea what is even happening.

Re: Video

[stayed_solo]

You don’t want to know and...

[Hold up...]

...is that a bow?

Re: Video

[derplander]

Hmm? Yes, it is. It's a Walnut Bow, I just got it. It's a little stiff though, but I like it.

[He held it up for her to look at, the polished grain clearly new, and not at all used. But it was quality.]

I just purchased it a few hours ago.

Re: Video

[stayed_solo]

But, how? There’s no bows in this game! Just swords!

Re: Video

[derplander]

Game? I must admit, I am confused. What sort of game are we talking about?

[Confusion is evident on the young Derplander's face. Please enlighten him Asuna, he's just a bitty WoL, he know not what the weirdness will become later.]

Re: Video

[stayed_solo]

Then, you’re..? I..?

This is Sword Art Online. All the classes here are set around blades. There’s not even magic here!

... [Nani the fuck?]

[He turns the menu over to look at the large aetherite behind him.] This is Bentbranch Meadows.

I'm from Eorzea. It seems we are from two different places young miss.

Re: Video

[stayed_solo]

Eorzea? Bentbranch Meadow?

Huh, I... guess we are.

[Others trapped in a different game?]

[moonoveralola]

"Alola! My name's Moon!"

The little girl in the screen can't be more than twelve.

"Are you okay?"

[stayed_solo]

“N-no, I’m not okay! I don’t think I ever will be!”

The girl sighed at that.

“Wait, you look... odd...”

[moonoveralola]

Blink blink.

"Odd how?"

She's inspecting her own hands now.

[stayed_solo]

“You don’t look like you’re a part of the game.”

The figure is surprised before pulling back the hood, revealing herself to be a little older than Moon.

“Wait, are you in the real world?!”

[moonoveralola]

"Um. Yeah?"

Moon pauses.

"Would you...like to come visit? Mom can set an extra place for lunch easy!"

[stayed_solo]

“I... I can’t. I’m stuck here. Haven’t you heard?”

She sighed at that.

“10,000 people trapped in the blasted game and there’s no way out except beating the game. And if we die, that’s it.”

Oh, she doesn’t realize what she’s part of now...

[moonoveralola]

"What?! We gotta get you out of there!"

Moon brings up the Duck's menu, presses a few buttons, and warps over to Asuna.

"Sorry about getting in your personal space!"

Grabbing her hand, Moon activates the menu again and warps back to Alola. Walking over to the door of her room, she opens it up and starts talking.

"Mom! I just saved someone being held hostage, do we have any chocolate for her?"

[stayed_solo]

“What?! Wait! What’s going...?!”

The girl is left stunned and speechless. One moment, she’s being chased by a monster, the next she has an adorable little friend pulling her into a beachside house. And telling her mom about it.

“What?”

[speed_holic]

I would, but I can't. We've got a better chance of surviving together than apart.

(Suguha's face soon appears on the screen, motioning for Asuna to lower her voice when speaking.)

Whatever's chasing you...it knows we're both here, and it's after me too. Besides, you probably haven't eaten in a while right?

(Not that they needed to eat, but even so...)

[stayed_solo]

[She agreed and lowers her voice]

How did you know...?

[speed_holic]

That you haven't eaten? Figured you wouldn't have time with a monster chasing you.

(Suguha gives Asuna a smile before stepping back a bit.)

I'm Leafa, but...you can call me Sugu. It's nice to meet you!

[stayed_solo]

Sugu... Ha... I...

It’s nice to meet you, too... sorry if I seem too... distant.

[speed_holic]

Hehe, I didn't even tell you my full name and you got it right: Suguha!

(She nods reassuringly.) It's okay. It's hard to get along with others in this place, isn't it?

[stayed_solo]

It... it really is.

Are you stuck here, too?

[speed_holic]

I am...but we'll get out together! I promise. You're not gonna die here.

Video

[leafheld]

[Video chat? On her menu?

And wait, Asuna? Wasn't she like... Leafa looked over where Asuna was literally sitting across the room, making fun of Kirito and Lizbeth was fussing over his sword and how dare he break another sword on his stupid Solo questing BS and...]

I'm going to just go on a limb and say something is really weird here.

[For one, this Leafa doesn't have wings, but she is dressed in casual clothing but still looks elvish. But she's in a unfamiliar looking backdrop of a building.]

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Yeah, the Duck's like that sometimes. You'll learn to manipulate it more over time I think?
