 I don't know what to do
Something is inside my chest

❧ Esper found her way to Horunka, which was a nice place... she was exploring but it soon turned into her doing a quick little quest. The test seemed like it would be simple and be completed within a few hours. She deiced that this would a relaxing quest where she would not have to fight anything. The quest was called Night Lights. Where she would walk around the place and light the lanterns, before it gets to dark outside. She did want to explore the town and this was good way to get some money while exploring and she even invited her two friend Ghost. She sent him a message. --- Esper: Hey, Ghost do you wanna do a quick quest with me.. all we are going to be doing is walking around and lighting lanterns. --- She then swiped down to close out the message tab, she really did want to see her two friends. They seemed to have ran off and gotten ahead of her which is what she kinda wanted but she wanted to also check up on them. What better way to check up on them than to see them in person and inspect all their new gear. She found herself waiting at the quest sign it was a basic place and it seemed the most reasonable. The time was about 1:30 so they only had a few hours before the monsters came out. ●, ghost ● Made by Val of WW

Today was one of those days that Shiro rarely had. A relax day. He has been running all around the fist floor for the pass few days so he told himself that today he would take an easy. Most of his day was spent inside the room that he rented the night before. He still have twelve more hours of usage in it so he would going over his material and working on his crafting and fixing up any weapons that he had.That was until he received a message. Esper: Hey, Ghost do you wanna do a quick quest with me.. all we are going to be doing is walking around and lighting lanterns.Ghost: Yeah, sure. That's the mission in Horunka, right? I'll meet you there in a few hours.
2:20 PM Shiro arrived to Horunka a little over an hour later. That gave him enough time to shower and get dressed. He had his basic clothing equipped to him, with his weapon. In his hand he held a sandwich that he bought on his way to Horunka. It was a ham and cheese grilled sandwich, which was Shiro's favorite sandwich from the Sandwich stand he bought it from.
Ghost: I'm in Horunka now. Where should we meet? |

❧ Esper waited around and looked at the time, she was trying to find ghost who was late. That was until she got a message about where they should meet. She smiled and never said where they should meet, she re-read what she sent and noticed that in fact she did not say where she would be in Horunka. She opened up the message to reply.
Esper: I'm so sorry ghost I forgot to give to meeting location, I'm at the quest board.
She deiced that she need to get a start on the and she also wanted to walk around and see things before it become to dark. She started to walk off from the board, that was when she noticed Ghost. She was dressed in common clothing, which was a nice pink dress that she bought. She smiled and started to walk in the direction of Ghost pulling out the map of where the location of the lanterns where. She also pulled out a tour map and handed it to him.
"This is a tour map, it has a lot of locations that we can maybe visit. It all depends on how much time we have and if we can get done before everything thing starts to close."
She looked down at the lantern map. She looked up and saw that it was telling her to head east and that she was only a few feet away from the first one.
"Ok, I think we should start heading east. The first lantern or should I say the closet is about 200 feet away from where are standing."

Before long Shiro and Esper both met at the request board.
"How many lanterns was there again, I forgot. This is one of the mission I actually haven't done yet.." He allowed his hands to rest in his pockets as he began to walk. The cooling breeze from the wind causing his hair to cascade with the flow of the wind.
Walking with his equipment off actually felt weird for some reason. While he didn't wear very heavy equipment, somehow he could still feel that his pads and perks weren't equipped. Not that it would matter much, he would equip his additives soon enough.
\\
"It's strange. This is the first time since we started the game that I walked around with no equipment on. I think I got too used to how they feel when equipped already," he laughed, lacing his fingers behind his head and grinning.

❧ "Well, Shiro the quest stated that there was about 10. I however know that this quest would take about three to five hours if we are in the rush even two if we split up. I however really did not plan to rush this quest, I however want to get this quest done before nightfall."
She started to walk off following the direction the map was leading her. They walked about two hundred feet and noticed a red lantern, that was un illumined. She pulled two stones and started to create a spark to that she could light the lantern. It was taking her a while but she decided to use this time to ask Ghost a few questions.
"So... Shiro how have you been? I know it's not been easy for a lot of people to adapt."
She kept trying to light the lantern while talking to him. She did not know if Shiro was doing well, from her perspective he was doing alright but it may be a front. She soon managed to get the lantern to light, and it burned a beautiful orange yellow blaze. It was warming to see and it was perfect timing because it seemed as if they sun would be setting soon. She put the stone back into her bag and returned to Shiro's side. She now pulled out the tour guide and said
"We should visit this one armor shop, it on the way to the second lantern. It's also only 500 feet way."

So their objective was to light up ten lanterns. That should be easy enough, he didn't really see a reason for that to take too long, really. Then again, they were in Horunka, and at night all types of creatures and players came out so it wouldn't be the smartest idea to be open then.Recently Shiro heard about player killers. Supposedly, there are players who go around and actually kill other PC's. However, their names turn into an orange hue when they did so enough times - or so he heard. Ever since hearing about that, Shiro has been trying to stay on his guard. "How have I been?" he said, repeating her question back to himself as he thought about it for a second. For the most part, he has been doing well. He'd been going on missions and completing each task pretty smoothly, so his ascension power-wise seemed promising, in his eyes. However, he figured that's not what she was asking about. She wanted to know about how he felt about being trapped.
"I'm fine. Being here, in this game, it doesn't really bother me." he admitted. And to be honest, it didn't bother him one bit. For the last four years Shiro had been living in the game world, it was his escape from reality; so being here, in SAO, was like a dream almost.
"I like it." He spoke honestly, despite however Esper would react. It didn't matter because for him that was his truth. "How are things going for you? Are you okay?" |

❧ She looked up and pointed in the direction she was going to walk, she smiled and looked at the map. Well, I don't wanna sound like a cry baby. I would say that I miss talking to may mother and my little brother. It's only been a few weeks but I miss doing normal things, this game everything but normal so we have adapt fast. She smiled as she was looking at the map, they managed to have walked 350 of the total 500 so they where really close to where they needed to be. She soon heard what seemed to be the sound of music. Esper could not help but to start dancing a little bit, while walking. "This song is by that new pop group. I did't think they would play live music from the real world." - The SongShe started to sing along, while walking. She also noticed they where standing next to the Armor shop, she told Shiro about. She walked towards the door and opened it and walked inside; she noticed a set of plate that was on a armor stand. It was really incredible, they had all types of armor she really liked this one set of armor that looked like what a samurai would wear. "This armor is epic!!!" ●, ghost ● Made by Val of WW

He wasn't surprised to hear any of what Esper said. She always seemed happy, even in real life. He could only imagine that she had what many called a happy home. That was something Shiro didn't really have. His home life was the furtherest thing for happy/, which is funny really. His dad was a game developer. and he his family was wealthy, but somehow Shiro never really had friends or anyone to hang with. He was alone. Always alone.Just the thought of real life made him cringe just a bit. Fortunately enough for him tho, they entered the armory shop. Just the sight of everything brought his mind to ease."Yeah, there's a lot of cool stuff in here." He said, looking around with a half-hearted smile. "You should look around some. You might find something you want to buy. I'm sure you can afford a few things." At the same time, Shiro began to look around as well. There was all types of stuff in the shop. It looked like a lot more items had been crafted since the last time he visited the shop. After a little inspection, he opened up his character interface and looked through his inventory.
"I need gloves."

❧ Upon walking around the Armory Shop, Esper noticed a few items that she liked. She already planned to come back to the shop once she had enough money to purchase all of the items she wanted. She planned to by some gloves, and white cloak. This white cloak was adorable and she just had to get it, so coming back and buying it was a must. She looked at the time and it was now 3:30, it seemed as if time was going to fast in this game but it was supposed to be linked up to real world time. She also noticed a few weapons one happened to be a Rapier. It was a beautiful sword and it seemed to do a lot of damage.
She clapped her hands and said
" I'm going to have to come back, I don't wanna run into any Red players. I'm ready to go Shiro, we don't wanna be doing this all day."
She walked out and opened the door to the shop and walked outside. Esper opened the map and ran off the direction of the lantern she took out the two stones and tried to light the lantern. It only took her about three tries and finally managed to light it.
"I don't wanna be here all damn day, this is two of ten done... and I think it starts to get dark around 6:30."

The purchase of the gloves didn't take but a couple moments. He dropped hos Col on the counter and put the gloves in the inventory. He didn't even need to equip them right now. "Where is the next lantern?" asked Shiro as he headed towards the exit of the shop. They had killed enough time just wandering and browsing shops, so Shiro was happy when he saw that Esper was ready to head back to their quest. To tell the truth, he never did much shopping. Or rather, when he did he did so quickly as possible. Shiro wasn't really a fan of being around others, nonetheless allowing them to see him while he shopped and collected his items. Once they were walking across the silver bricks that lead around the area, he scratch the back of his head as he tried to figure out which way to go. Or kinda, it's more accurate to say he stood to the side and looked at Esper:"You lead the way." |

❧ She looked at him and smiled, but this smile was a fake one. She showed him the map which displayed blue markers as to where the location of the lanterns are. It also showed how many feet away they where from the lantern, she grabbed his hand and started to jog. I think there are two on this bridge. Which is in the middle of the small town, it also was a nice fishing spot for players who maybe wanted to watch the blue sky while catching diner or for catching for sport. While running Esper noticed a few more shops, she also noticed a npc who had a hood over his head covering himself or themselves from being seen. She found it strange that a person would be covering their face, it's not even cold outside. She decided that it would be best to just keep doing the quest and leave that person alone.
"Shiro look at ten o'clock, do you see that man? I don't know why but I get bad vibes from him."
She did not want to point at him out of fear due, to the fact that it may cause a bad reaction. It was also rude to point at someone who was minding there own business. She let go of Ghost hand and approached the bridge, she ran up on the left side of the bridge and pulled out the two stones and started to light the lantern. This time it did not take as long, she was getting used to using the stones to light the lantern. This quest was turning into a fun little adventure
"Shiro do you wanna light the right side lantern?"

Through the town they went. Judging by the way Esper grabbed his hand and ran off, he could tell that Esper was having fun. That was good. That would make everything smoother, so with that Shiro nodded and raced off with her.
Based on the coordinates that he saw from the map Esper had there was a lot of shops and buildings in the area. Shiro actually got lost in the scenery, although the moment she beckoned for his attention he snapped back.
"Huh?" he looked to the west from his peripheral vision. That is weird. That NPC does look suspicious. I'll keep my eyes on them, they don't seem to be interfering with us so far so there's no need to be alarmed.
"Yeah," he answered, "I'll light the next one." He scurried over to the other side of the bridge and lit the lantern.
"That's four, isn't it?" |

❧ She nodded then re opened up the map and shared it with Shiro again. They had walked to the other side of the bridge past the guy in the hood. However as they walked, she looked over her shoulder and noticed that the man in the hood had started to move again. It seemed as if he was following them as they walked away, Esper was not trying to worry Shiro but it did seem out of place for him to be following them. She noticed that they where about to pass another lantern, and she wanted to turn that four into five and so she did. She walked up to the lantern and started to light it, this time it took almost to no effort.
She looked at the time and it was now around 5:00, she noticed that sun was going down. It was getting late and the lanterns they had already lit where glowing and illuminating the town. She loved it but she did not have time to stand around. She opened up her map and tried to locate the next one, which was only a few feet from them.
"Shiro, It's getting late I think we should try and wrap things up. I also think we should keep an eye out for mobs that may want to attack."

Traveling with Esper like this was actually kinda fun, especially since they were able to actually see the real person they were playing with. All her reactions, tells, gestures, emotions were just up for display. With that said, he noticed a little bit of worry in her aura."You're right." He nodded his head, placing his hands in his equipped jacket pocket. "We should probably split up and go after as many of the remaining lanterns as we can. Just send me the coordinates for the next five and we can each go after them."If they wanted to speed things up the best thing for them was to split up, neither of them could refute this. Night was on the horizon. They could tell by the change in the music in the area, if not anything else. The music the game was playing earlier was more cheerful and full of upbeat spirits, now the music was more sober feeling,
"Be careful. If you get attacked or scared, message me and I'll come right away. I promise." |

❧ Laughing at the last part of what Ghost said she pulled out the map and showed him it. "Ok... the last few are around here. It should not be that hard to locate." She then gave him the map, she really did not need it anymore she had looked at the map enough times to locate the rest or the last few by memory. She waved at Ghost and turned and made her way towards the last few. She did not know what to expect but the music that was playing was soft and she started to sing along to the song Shiki No Uta. It was a song that she would sing to herself at night. It even inspired her to want to become a singer, she loved the women who sang it and the soft tone and beats of the song it was perfect for her to walk around at night and light lanterns to. It just reminded her of the days back in the real world. She soon found herself at a lantern and started to light it, it blazed in the darkness. It was beautiful to see all of the lights of the small town. "This town is like a Small Old Edo." ●, ghost ● Made by Val of WW [/quote]
