He wasn’t entirely sure why he was here.
He didn’t really believe the rumour; couldn’t bring himself to believe it, because that hope would quickly turn bitter if it turned out to be false. And yet he found himself here anywhere, pushing his way carefully through the trees and searching for that elusive cave. He’d stumbled over enough players to be secure that he wasn’t the only one searching out the elusive cave.
He pulled open his menu again, just to check, but the log out button remained defiantly grey. Irritating. One hand resting on the hilt of his new sword, he glanced around the clearing, hoping the previous groups of players had cleared most of the mobs out.

Desperation was an easy force to give in to, Genjo had began to understand that the hard way. The decision to set out to find this infamous 'log-out' cave was a hard one, but if it really existed he could never forgive himself if he just ignored the rumor; the very prolific rumor that almost became a set of directions from how wide-spread it was told. He made it to the general vicinity the site was located, but one thing was stopping him from progressing any further.
The sound of leaves crackling underfoot was all it took to spook Genjo, causing him to nearly fall off of the tree branch he'd been using as a sanctuary.

He tensed at the sound of another voice, though relaxed again when he realised it wasn’t a monster. Just another player, perched on a tree branch, looking far more spooked to bump into someone else. Bad experiences with others, maybe.
“Relax, I’m friendly.” Picking fights when he had no gear and little idea about how to use his sword probably struck him as a rather suicidal plan, and being friendly didn’t really cost him anything.
“You out here hunting the cave too? Seen anything promising?”
Even if all he could find out was where the other had looked, it would save him the effort of searching there himself.

Genjo let out a breath of relief, he was lucky to meet someone out here in the middle of nowhere. Finally he might be able to get out of here safely, but after hearing the stranger's words his body tightened up once more.
"I've searched all over besides the most north western parts of this forest, I may not have been perfectly thorough, but.." He spoke with a somewhat nervous tone, peering down at the player below with serious eyes. "It's seriously dangerous out here, I had to hide in this tree to get away from some plant things that spawned practically behind me.." He added, clearly sounding disheartened. The boy took a deep, calming breath, this definitely wasn't the first impression he wanted on any stranger, but he knew continuing deeper into the forest only meant even more trouble. "Are you really willing to risk your life for some mythical cave that doesn't exist?" He asked plainly. GENJO "ONI" NISHIYAMA PHARAOH LEAP.

The other boy had cleared a fair amount of ground searching. Far more than Icarus had, as he’d hardly been looking an hour, and a decent section he could cut out of his own search plan.
He snorted as the boy expressed his fear. “Not exactly risking my life. We’re practically still in town here, and looking for the cave’s better than doing nothing.” Perhaps a little more confident than he actually felt, but he wasn’t overly worried about being out here. Low level mobs were easy, right? Others had managed to get through them, so he would too. “How come you’re up in the tree? Something got you spooked?”
He couldn’t see anything around them, but that didn’t mean something wasn’t lurking in the bushes nearby. Best keep his sword handy just in case.

Genjo couldn't believe what he was hearing, had this foolish person not encountered a single mob? This area was even more dangerous than the forests surrounding Horunka, or at least that's what it felt like from his own experience of getting chased around by giant house plants all day. He clenched his teeth a bit and frowned in response to the strangers questions, this was becoming downright embarrassing.
"I...I heard something spawn so I..." He answered meekly, unable to finish out of shame. Shaking himself out of it he pointed down at the confident man, "You would be up here too if you saw those things!" He accused. He didn't feel much better. After a moment of silence he asked again, "Are you still planning on searching for it?" He asked, sounding partially defeated since he didn't exactly want to risk another spawn while alone.

“Something?” From the sounds of it, the boy hadn’t even seen the things, so the accusation he flung was rather ridiculous. Resisting the urge the roll his eyes at the ridiculousness, he made an obvious show of looking around them. “Whatever it was, I think it’s gone. You can probably come down now.”
Well, he certainly wasn’t giving up on searching for the cave because of one terrified player’s vague description of something bad. “Yeah, why not? Come on, we can look together.”
He pulled down his menu and tossed the boy a group request without even waiting for a response. If there were monsters prowling around, two was better than one, even if the other was only useful as a distraction. “I’m Icarus, by the way. Nice to meet you.”

Feeling humiliated, but calm, he began climbing down the tree. He was annoyed by Icarus' certainty, but it also reassured him somehow, even if he wasn't exactly strong. He didn't like the idea of venturing in further even with another player, but leaving Icarus to go by himself would be irresponsible. Genjo couldn't even find a moment to slip a word in before he was presented with a request notification; his finger hovered over accept, hesitating for a few moments while he had some final thoughts about how dumb this was.
"Oni.." He replied, glancing away from Icarus and finally accepting the invitation. The casual demeanor of Icarus bewildered Genjo, was he some sort of prodigy? Regardless, if he wouldn't turn back willingly he would have to travel to the northwest with him, and search for the cave until he gets bored. "Alright, I'm 90% sure this is north-west." He shakily declared, pointing off to the left of the two players; swiftly Genjo turned to the direction and began walking. "There is a high probability that at least one of us will die." He muttered.

“There, that wasn’t that hard, was it?” He tilted his head and winked, bright and cheerful, apparently unconcerned that they might run into something nasty.
He pulled open his map and double checked before setting off – he wasn’t entirely willing to trust his life to strange players found hiding in trees. Content that the little jaunt in the tree hadn’t confused Oni’s sense of direction too badly, he followed after the younger man, amused that he’d gone from cowering in the branches to leading off their little expedition so quickly.
“At least if it’s big enough to eat us, it probably has decent loot.” Probably not helping, but he’d never really suffered overly much from compassion. “Even if this cave doesn’t let us out of the game, I’m hoping it’ll have a quest or something. The rumour must have started for a reason.”
Although it was likely to be nothing but optimism, he was unwilling to give up on a potential chance to put himself ahead of some of the others.

 <<LITTLE NEPENTS>> APPEAR!
The probability that one of them might die reached a critical mass as, in the path ahead of them, a <<LITTLE NEPENT>> reared its ugly head! Wait, does it have a head?! You have no time to ponder - the mouth opens wide and sprays saliva as it catches your scent and rushes at you! Watch out for those tendrils!

"What makes you think we will reach the cave to begin with?" He questioned Icarus with a collected voice, picking up his pace slightly. "The reason for the rumour was to lure desperate players into this death-trap, unless you're willing to believe that Kayaba messed up in this one part of the world and somehow, someone found out. The chances of the latter is quite slim." He replied, speaking as if it were fact.
He'd spent the entire day lurking in the forest, but Icarus was the only player he'd seen. The young adult lifted his head up, staring through the leafy, uneven canopy above. A sudden commotion in the distance grabbed his attention, recognizing its alien shape and vile color. "It's one of those damn house plants!!" He warned, unsheathing his beat-up sword. He took a few steps forward, adjusting his footing and measuring the distance he would need to cover for a successful strike. He didn't plan on fighting the beast, but if Icarus was as capable as he suspected, softening up the target for him would've been useful. Pushing his right foot down hard on the ground he launched himself into a sprint, attempting to land a Horizontal sword art while he passed the mutant plants side. "I'm giving you your chance, Icarus!!" He yelled a the top of his lungs, hoping that this restricted body could carry him past the agile nepent. GENJO "ONI" NISHIYAMA PHARAOH LEAP.

DANCING
THROUGH LIFE For a moment, Icarus considered leaving the kid to it and scarpering off the other way. The damned plant was nearly as tall as him, and didn’t look particularly friendly. Where were the rabbits and gelatine blobs he’d fought in most other MMOs at low levels? But he wouldn’t be put to shame by a kid who had been hiding up a tree not five minutes earlier. With a sigh, he drew his sword, wondering just where the boy had found this new courage. Hopefully it wouldn’t wane when he realised Icarus was nowhere near as proficient as he was trying to appear. Taking a breath, he charged at the plant, aiming at the other side of the plant. Hopefully the tag team attack would be successful, or at least give it a good chance of fixating on his group member first. His sword flashed as he used UPPERCUT, followed by a second slash of his sword for good measure, and hoped that the momentum of his charge was enough to take him safely past the nepent. Having not fought one before, he’d no idea just how far those vines could reach.

Adrenaline, speed, risk; these were the feelings he sought after most in life, but in SAO these feelings came with a lethality that he'd rarely encountered in the real world. Being face to face with these monsters reminded him of the fragile nature of his life, and even soured the pleasure he received from intense situations. No matter how brave and dignified he wished to appear, death was right there just waiting for him to get too cocky and slip up.
Genjo's luminous blade sliced greedily into the stationary plant's side, eliciting a high-pitched screech from the mob. Aware that the creature would probably attack him he quickened his sprint, but before the blonde-haired boy could flee to a safe distance the nepent swiftly snatched him by the leg. The thorny, vine-like appendage coiled itself tight around his ankle before violently yanking back; the force lifted his leg off the ground mid-sprint, causing him to face-plant into the ground. With its maw copiously salivating a strange, greenish liquid, the nepent dragged the now struggling Genjo towards itself.
With fortunate timing Icarus struck the plant twice, dropping the monster's HP bar far lower than Genjo had; still, it was clear the creature retained over two-thirds of its life. The nepent seemed to lose focus on him, instead turning its eyeless head to Icarus, releasing a malicious hiss. While Icarus sailed past the nepent using his momentum, it began to speedily shamble after him, extending a tendril towards him in anticipation to attack.
With his leg free again he stumbled to his feet, he knew he had to pursue the nepent, but his muscles froze as time seemed to slow to a crawl. Fear's icy claws clutched his heart, his mind begged him to run, telling him he could have died the moment before. He clenched his teeth, his hands were cold, his body trembled all over; but he couldn't run, not after Icarus had saved him. No matter how much his brain told him not to, he had to fight. He tightened his muscles and widened his eyes, breaking into a sprint towards the backside of the giant plant. His heart rattled in his chest and he was beginning to feel lightheaded from all the adrenaline. Closing in on the nepent, he focused on the motion required to use the UPPERCUT sword art before unleashing it skyward at the mob, leaving a blueish trail of light; he prayed that the monster wouldn't anticipate his attack, as he knew the creature's speed could not be underestimated for someone as poorly equipped as himself.

| | The plant, as desired, attacked the other boy, but Icarus didn’t have much time to appreciate his luck before he found himself the focus instead. A vine lashed out, missing him by inches, but it startled him into jumping backwards awkwardly.
Miracle of miracles, the kid attacked again, distracting the monster long enough for Icarus to regain his footing and prepare his own attack. Sword illuminating in a bright flash of light, he charged forward again, aiming a SLANT attack at the plant.
Only to miss entirely. Embarrassing. Not quite able to get out of reach, he was unable to dodge in time and could do nothing as a tendril carved a line into his chest. His breath whistled through his teeth as he concentrated on not letting too much of the pain show. Holding his sword defensively, in a possible fruitless attempt to ward off the next attack, he hoped the kid would have better success on his next attempt.
