The day was dwindling on and the sun fell over the horizon. Stars shined in the night sky and Areto was making his way back into the city with an exhausted yawn. His adventures took him to quite a few places and he met a few people though it didn't last for very long. Vaguely wondering about all of the people that he encountered so far, he wondered whether or not they'd pop up again, did some of them know one another. There weren't many people invited to the closed beta so it wasn't as though it would be hard to meet one another but at the same time it wasn't as if everyone was going to be sociable with one another. People had goals, they weren't just aimless wanderers, he reasoned.

"Hey mister!" A voice called to him. "Watch out!"

Areto looked up in time to see something swooping towards his head. He staggered backwards and fell onto his bum as he watched the object sail into the tree leaves, becoming caught amongst them. A few children ran forward and began talking amongst themselves before seemingly growing irate with one another. One of the children looked in Areto's direction and nodded his head.

"Sorry mister! Hey guys, wait up!"

A few of the other children ran ahead and the child hurried to catch up with them leaving Areto behind.

That's so weird, what was that?

The game is so... so... what's the word? Boring? No, certainly not boring - after all, it's an immersive game with the added revolutionary virtual reality aspect. Restrictive? Quetzal looks down at her attire and weapon and sighs. She wishes that the game wasn't just restricted to just swords. Where are the axes? The bows and arrows? The guns? The tomes? Where's the lore? Where's the diversity at? Well, Quetzal really should've expected this since it's literally the name of the game: Sword Art Online. Whatever, she'll make do with this game since it's pretty cool anyway. She tests out some of the skills and explores the areas.

Which is how she ends up here, witnessing a couple of children NPCs (they look so real holy crap) nearly kill a poor player with their kite. Quetzal watches as the dude lands on his butt and the kite gets stuck in the tree. Oh boy, here are the beginnings of a new quest. She walks up to one of the children NPCs and sees the exclamation mark hovering over their heads.

"Need help?" Quetzal asks.

One of the children, maybe the leader of the pack, nods. "Yeah, our kite got stuck! Can you help us get it down?"

A menu flashes before Quetzal: 《 Would you like to accept this quest? Accept or Decline 》

She decisively taps the "Accept" button and lets the child ramble on about controls and tutorial stuff. And something about having a partner to help out, maybe? She turns to the dude who'd fallen over. Maybe he'd help? Quetzal turns from the NPC and holds out a hand for the guy to take. "Having fun on the ground there?" And she gives him a wry grin. "S'been a long time since I last saw you, Areto."

Scares like that weren't very good for his health. Areto sighed and lowered his head, trying to catch his breath, but also slow down his heartbeat. Kids were even rambunctious in Sword Art Online. Wasn't that a good thing to note? A moment passed before a voice called out to him causing him to lift his head up. A young woman or man stood in front of him, smirking, and their tone of voice seemed so familiar. Areto. They knew him already, how was that even possible, he didn't give his name out to anyone besides.

"Ziva?!" He said. "Er.. I mean.. Quetzal, right?"

He clambered to his feet , though, wanting to at least get off the ground. She seemed rather smug for someone who hadn't been present for the last three days of beta. He crossed his arms over his chest and raised an eyebrow.

"So where have you been?"

The last conversation they had about the game was centered around entering together but it seemed as though one of them was a little late to the party.
