[nospaces] [break] sweet dreams are made of you Canary remembers once, when mmorpgs hadn't been important to her. [break][break] Shooting games, arcade games were her ball game. She was a slayer at DDR - and she made sure noobs got it in CoD. But she had never been the type to fall for the shit like World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy XIV. Or some of the many clones of said games, even if she played them a little bit. Just enough to understand base mechanics - and by a little bit she means getting to full level, but come on, she finishes what she starts - and to have an idea of the terms. But ever since the beta for SAO, she had become much more curious. Played a few in her off time, even joined a guild or two. What had surprised her, was the knowledge that these people - from all corners of the world - would share, and the rumours even among them. [break][break] Like say, a really popular cross-game guild or some such. She wasn't an expert - far from it - but she listened when people talked. [break][break] So hearing that said guild would probably be in here was one thing. The other thing is that she was actively searching for someone to help this morning - she'd spent some time with a few familiar faces, but she had enough time to squeeze another thing before noon and the inn stop to fill her slowly grumbling stomach. But that would mean she'd have to find the person and be forward about it. She noticed that most people seem to be on the reactive foot - which is fine, until they get gutted. Shaking her head to clear her thoughts from the silliness of people wasting their respawns or their abilities, she spotted someone. A name she didn't know - which admittedly, there were many around right now - but someone that niggled something in the back of her mind. She kind of looked like a girl she used to know. [break][break] ''Hey, girlie, I wanna talk to ya really quick if that's cool?'' she called out to said person - she assumed it was a girl, but watch her be very wrong. [break][break] It happens more often then not if you can believe it. [break][break] SAINT[googlefont="Muli|Pavanam"]

Oh this game was just marvelous!
Saint hummed happily as she strolled through the game. Her long wavy green hair hung behind her, swaying with each bounce. The young woman clearly enjoyed the environment she was in. It was like nothing she had ever experienced! It was wonderful! It was beautiful.
Saint had always played MMORPGs, they had always been her favorite thing ever. The ability to live in another world- even if only through a screen and for short periods of time- was amazing! She adored the escapism. Sword Art Online would prove to be the ultimate escapism for her! Oh she couldn't wait for Tiecoon to log in and see everything! It would be amazing! This was going to be the best Knife of Day branch yet!
She crossed her arms in thought, wondering about the possibility of competitive play in Sword Art Online. However, her thoughts were interrupted by a voice. Saint turned to see a blond asking if she could b spoken to. Saint smiled in respond as she gave a soft wave.

[nospaces] [break] sweet dreams are made of you It seemed her question went off without any sort of hitch, or awkwardness. [break][break] ''Ya, sorry for stoppin' ya like that, it's not somethin' I normally do. But you remind me of a friend back in highschool - well the way ya look. Figured I'd be honest, considering long green hair is weird outside of video games. That and your name, but hey, it's nothin' bad I swear. But I was mostly wonderin' if you were new to the game. Name's Canary, by the way.'' she said. She kept her cool attitude, but the girl's nice, almost soft like excitment of the game made the blonde smile back at her. It was indeed rather nice to see someone that was just as excited as she had been on entering the game. The reasons mattered not - it was that pure joy that Canary associated with. [break][break] ''If ya are new, then I'll offer ya a tour 'round town. I ain't doin' anythin' right now so that sounds like a fun thing to do, ya?'' she said. Sure, it might feel weird to most people to suddenly get someone to give them a tour or something, but Canary was curious. And she wanted to know about this girl that made her feel things from highschool, with the name that bothered her. She was sure she'd seen it somewhere before - well other then history classes, maps and religious lists - but she couldn't put her finger on it. She'd just assume it's a common name honestly at this point. But it seems like she found the person she wanted to help before breaking for lunch and spending time with herself. [break][break] She was a beta tester, you see, so spending her first few hours helping others as she refamiliarized herself with the game? It was perfect. This afternoon was going to be the time she'd do her best to get ahead, whilst others would just take it slowly. Her hand went up to adjust her sunglasses, before realizing she wasn't wearing any. Instead, she just ruffled her hair, pushing her bangs out of her eyes a bit. Seriously, she needed to get a cap and a pair of sunglasses asap. It was still so weird to be without them.

”Eh? It's fine! I dont mind being stopped!”
Saint beamed brightly as she spoke, clearly fine with the woman approaching her. It was an MMO after all! People were bound to want to speak to each other. It was a game where socializing was key to victory! Right? As the woman spoke of Saint reminding her of a friend from high school, her grin turned coy. That was interesting! She wondered if it was true~ Hmm~
”Ah, well my hair isnt green in real life! It's just brown, but green hair sounded fun so I picked it!” she explained. A soft giggle escaped her lips at the reassurance that whatever her name and hair reminded the woman of wasn't bad. ”Well I'm happy to know it isnt anything bad!” Her eyes shifted to the scenery around them for a brief moment before looking back to the blond.
”Ah, my name is Saint! It's lovely to meet you Canary!”
As she spoke, Saint reached out for a handshake. If Canary didn't give one, the green haired young adult would keep speaking happily, unphased. ”And, yes I'm pretty new to the game! I didn't get to play the beta, so here I am! All fresh and new on launch day!” When the offer of being shown around the town was given, her eyes widened with pure excitement.
”Oh! I'd love that! If you wouldn't mind, that is!” | BECAUSE I'M SLEEPLESS WITHOUT YOU |

[nospaces] [break] sweet dreams are made of you This girl was very cheerful. [break][break] Good. [break][break] Canary just smiled, and watched the woman carefully - in her own way that is. Yes, she reminded of that friend in highschool, but with a lot more enthusiasm. She let out a breath, and easily took the girl's hand. Canary wasn't stupid you see, she had looked up foreigner greetings. But she didn't think this one was a foreigner, maybe just a habit picked up? Like her own of saluting when she was turning in a quest, as a mission complete wasn't really complete without a salute you see. Nodding at the woman, she smiled because look, they could see each other's name if they targetted each other - which Canary did out of habit to everything honestly - but it was still nice to introduce one's self. [break][break] Well not nice so much as polite. [break][break] ''Fresh and new uh? Perfect. And I'd be glad to show ya 'round. I do like helpin' people, particularly the newbies. Can't say that I care about bein' elitist or somethin' really, it's just nice to let people love the game, and to help 'em out.'' she said, shrugging slightly. But with a few taps of her fingers, she sent the girl a friend request, mainly because first she needed to rebuild her list, and also she had a feeling to keep an eye on this one. Canary rarely doubted her gut feelings, it helped her very much with her siblings, so she just followed along with it. This girl was trustworthy, she was pretty sure of that. [break][break] The excitement she had was genuine, that's for sure. [break][break] ''Anything in particular ya wanna know 'bout first? Better get the things ya need out of the way first. I can even tell ya 'bout the systems a bit if ya want.'' she said. There was no reason to pretend she wasn't a beta player for one, or that she knew the game very well. She had played a lot during the beta test actually, which was the whole point of it. So she was armed with knowledge - things that others might not remember, but that she kept in mind. Like how strong the starting pigs were, or how difficult some quests could be. Sure there were probably balance changes, but she figures learning about those would be the fun part. [break][break] But she had to concentrate on the girl, and not her own prattling thoughts, at least for the moment. [break][break] SAINT[googlefont="Muli|Pavanam"]

Saint smiled broadly as Canary took her hand. As they shook, Saint looked over the other woman more carefully. Her cheerful face didn't drop one bit as she studied the other. When the hands were released from one another, Saint brought hers together to gently clasp them together in front of her chest.
”Yep! I'm really thankful for you taking the time to show me around! It's wonderful that you like helping people. More games need people like you!” she hummed happily, practically beaming. It was obvious to Saint that this woman was a beta tester, but that didn't really matter. Even Saint had read over several of the reviews and in depth guides the beta testers put out after the NDA was released.
”Hrm... Oh! I'd like to get to know the layout of the town! The town seems pretty large- like an actual city! It's so daunting! I'd love to get a tour of it.” | BECAUSE I'M SLEEPLESS WITHOUT YOU |

[nospaces] [break] sweet dreams are made of you The blonde laughed softly. [break][break] Yeah, this was the reason she had been happy to be a beta tester. Her natural tendacy to be a big sister led her often to trying to learn things before everyone else, if only to be able to help others. She waved a hand, shaking her head. ''Naw, I'm not that special, there's plenty like me, probably just hidin' tho. And yeah, tour it is. I mean, I've got a feelin' ya read everythin' ya could, but readin' ain't the same as livin' it.'' she said. She should know, it'd happened before with some of the shooter games. But this was a totally different beast, as the blonde made a motion, starting to walk along the canal, pointing out various player buildings - like the inn, and the places where one could craft easily. [break][break] The whole tour itself wasn't that long per say, although Canary would take the main roads first, and then bring the woman through the twisting side roads and back alleys. After it was all said and done, the blonde would sit down on a bench after hitting up a cart for some food, handing some to the woman. ''Gotta eat to keep your stamina up. Kinda like real life honestly, which is funny.'' she said, before biting into the food. It wasn't the most tasty of things, in fact it seemed to lack flavour, but it was filling. She gave out a large breath, leaning back slightly, taking a moment to gather her thoughts. [break][break] ''Hopefully I got ya settled in with the town. If anythin' you'll be able to find yourself at the square real easy. It takes some gettin' used to, and the best way to do that is to wander 'round.'' she said, shifting her position. ''Anythin' else I can help with? Or would ya rather just chat a bit?'' she asked. The blonde woman was not usually this considerate, but she found this player rather interesting. She could pick up on things, and noticed things - neither of the women were stupid, and Canary had the feeling that this one knew she was a beta tester. It didn't bother her either, but maybe it was just a sense of familiarity that made her so relaxed around this woman. [break][break] Whatever it was, it was easy to just be herself, for a rare few moments. [break][break] SAINT[googlefont="Muli|Pavanam"]
