Welcome to Gaia! ::

XXXCrashing to the ground and throwing up a dust screen, he disappeared in the town skillfully from the other players marveling at his speed. He stopped running in the alley, unequipping his bow and arrows and reequipping his aviators, walking slowly through the town back to his favorite vendor's cart. Upon arrival, she handed him two different cloth items, accepting the trade for half of his gold before he walked off. He also bought a teleportation crystal, and antidote crystal, and a full-heal crystal just in case. He also bought upgraded armor, and he bought more stylized casual clothes just to be frivolous with his money. Sighing, he walked through the town in his basic gear as people were talking about the glitch that occurred earlier in the morning, and they were all lucky no one got killed. THANK THE GODS. He exclaimed mentally, rounding the corner as he reached the end of Salamander spawn territory, looking straight onward at the First floor Dungeon tower in the distance. He took off running, before he took off in the fastest flight he could muster; it was time for him to start clearing the dungeon, even if it was by himself.

((Exit))

Koku looked around, it was like nothing he had ever seen before. one moment he was in his game chair with Chacho and the next he was in a busy city full of different races of humans and creatures. All of them some form of humanoid dressed in some form of armor, whether it be leather, iron, or even some with chain mail. He looked down at himself, Leather... "This wont do... Not with how Taki stacked the mob's stats..." He walked into the armorer's shop. "Plate mail, that's what I'm talking about." He selected the metallic armor, but an alert "armor locked" popped up in front of him. "Well that's annoying... Let's check potions then..." He eventually found the potions master, "I need health potions." He threw down 50 coal and took his potions. as he grabbed them they disappeared with another alert that prompted, "potions sent to inventory". "That will do for now... Now I have to find Chacho!" He went back outside and started scurrying the city. On one of the main roads he saw a Cait Sith with fiery red hair and was shoving her way through the crowds. "Found her..." and he excitedly rushed to greet her.

Koku was overjoyed when he was acknowledged. He now had a cat-like creature on top of his head and his girlfriend right in front of him. The only thing that could make him happier is if he were on the same playing field as her. He knew he had a very powerful unique ability, but that wouldn't be enough with how Taki set up the game. He gave Chacho a hug and a kiss, and returned her pet to her shoulder. "Chacho! Sorry I'm late, I had to go to work before I could log. I got leave from work so no more issues. What's going on in game? Where's Taki? Have we found a good grind spot yet? I really need to level if I want to keep up..." He deeply inhaled after his assault of questions, fixed his tie, and continued doting on his girlfriend.

XXXAppearing in the plaza from teleportation, we unequipped his weaponry, jacket, armor, and bow in a matter of seconds so he could blend in easily with the other players. Sighing lightly, he looked around the area to see if he could locate Chacho. He began to aimlessly walk around the town, having players ask him whether or not he has heard about the announcement before he could take a few steps. He acted surprised, and took the fifteen minute time to act as though he really was a newb. So the players seemed to be truly helping each other out now; this was a nice change of pace from the original SAO game. After they told him everything, they parted ways as he began to search for Chacho and Koku. Whilst walking around, he also began to wonder where his "brother" was. Taki knew he logged in first, but he should have also logged in by now. He would have to wait until later on in the game to find him, for his priorities were with his angsty female BFF at this point in time.

He eventually gave up, searching at least five of the nine spawn areas with no results. Sending her a message, he then retreated back to the tavern where they first ate lunch. Ordering the same meal, he ordered two more for when Chacho would arrive with Koku, if they were to arrive at all. During the half-an-hour he was waiting, he was approached by two people inquiring about Chacho's skill from the day before. Taki claimed he knew nothing of what the skill could actually do, and that he was sure it was a bug that would work itself out when the moderators found the problem. They seemed appeased with this answer, and soon enough he was left alone. And, as impatient as he normally was, he decided to wait.

Chacho

Meet me at the tavern we went to yesterday.
Hopefully you're well, and I hope Koku is too.

See you soon.
~Taki

Chacho giggled tucking the rose into her hair, as her own menu popped up in front of her. New message...She mumbled, opening it and scanning it quickly. Change of plans, Koku. Time to go. Within seconds she grabbed his hand and began dragging him through the town towards the tavern. As she shouldered her way in, she instantly noticed Taki sitting at the same table they convened at yeterday. Well, theres Taki..Chacho let go of Koku and made her way to the seat, sliding onto the bench across from him.

XXXSmiling as the two entered the tavern, he returned Koku's hug before he sat down. "I've been alright, other than almost dying repeatedly." He said, chuckling lightly. He opened up his menu, and expertly navigated in a few seconds so that a window popped up in front of each of them. "Once we get you to the appropriate level, and once we get to the second floor, we can then form a guild or whatever." He said, sighing lightly as he looked at the two."But as it stands right now, you might want to duel with Chacho. While she was gone, i leveled considerably more than she did and began to work on clearing the dungeon. As of now, you're sitting with the two strongest players in the game as of now." He said barely above a whisper, knowing that the other players' listening skills weren't high enough to eavesdrop on their conversation. "Oh, and before i forget..." he said, navigating through his menu once more, selecting an item and gifting it to Chacho. It was a bow with bells at the end, black in color with silver bells, that enhanced magic and defense by 15%. "Hopefully, this will be enough for you to forgive me ... Anywho, we should work on getting you leveled, Koku. Plus, you need more Col so we can get you more crystals." He said, laughing lightly before he stood up, stretching before looking back to Chacho. "Back to the island we go?" He asked, smiling lightly. He truly did feel bad for his actions, because he understood completely where she was coming from. What she didn't understand, though, was that he didn't edit his death algorithm, so if he died ... he died in the real world as well.

Chacho smiled, equipping the bows. They looked adorable on her. I've long forgiven you. I got to thinking about it last night and...She shrugged, her sentence trailing away. I was planning on going to the higher level mobs in the hunting area, but it would probably be a better idea if we just returned to the island. Chacho finished her meal, stretching, and resting her arms on the table.We can just fly there but you...She turned to Koku. I'm too small to carry you...She cocked her head to Taki.We could ju- Her voice was cut off by a surprised shriek as water spilled all over the table and onto her dress. Lola bounced up onto the table lashing her tail and hissing in surprise as her master's alarmed shout. Chacho's wide eyes found the source of the accident, bowing before them, apologizing extensively. It took a minute for the beast tamer to get over the cold shock, her cat ears were flattened against her head and her tail lashed in surprise.She barely registered the apology. She turned to the imp. I-it's okay...She squeaked. She hated water, but this was obviously just an accident. It's really no p-problem...
