Scarlet Firefly

Firefly(Her, not the bug) nodded along as Morningstar confirmed that they had to be available to see at some point now in the areas that the players have unlocked. Her eyes would move up to him, though, in a small amount of surprise. "You've never seen them either? My mom always talked about how many there were. I just assumed they were everywhere..." Would it be difficult to find them? Were there none in Aincrad if even someone as strong as Morningstar hadn't seen them before. Before she could ask a follow-up question he continued. Her ears were open, the potential question set on the back-bu

Of all the curve ball horror segments paled in comparison to the vision of her own room that she was probably wasting away in right now. Could NerveGear scan more than just the body? Or is it tearing into her memory? But... She didn't have that image. All of this shit was really starting to freak her out. Footsteps would start to approach from the other side of the door. She immediately went to reach for her sword and found nothing. It's missing. "Stay away! I wont hesitate-!" The door opened slowly, and a woman walked into the room, slowly approaching Firefly. "I-I mean it - stay back!"

Firefly took a moment to absorb Pollux's words. Having a pet was completely new to the blind woman and she was somewhat surprised that she was doing as good as she was up to this point. Myst moved to aid her confidence which brought Firefly some comfort. "Yeah... This is very nice. I've never had pets before because my mother is allergic to most of them." The girl reached down and grabbed her little kitty, coddling her in her arms. The cat purred in response. "A toy?" She looks down at the cat and noticing an item missing from her belt. "Oh, I dropped my Witch Light! That's important. Mys

Silence. All around me was utter silence. I could not fathom what was coming next. The game was doing so well at picking me apart. Praying upon my new photo-memory, using the light to force me not to see my own fears and mocking my best friends to coax me into fealty. Yuki wouldn't allow this to stop her. It was time I followed her example. The girl would grab hold of the fabric bound to her face to regain her sight. She was in a bedroom unfamiliar to her. Though it didn't take long for it to become familiar at all. When she pieced together the layout in her head from her memory it w

Amongst the mess of fear that was overwhelming her from all angles, Firefly felt like she could barely catch herself up. Sight was becoming just as much a bane as it was a boon. Several times she attempted to remove the blinder from her face -- Her arm specifically -- but every time it ended up back where it was. "My eyes!" Tears streamed down her face from the stress and strain they were suffering. "Agh-! Please make it stop!" In desperation, Firefly grabbed the clothed headband from her hair and used it to cover her vision. She panted relentlessly in desperation to calm herself. "Y

Quickly, Firefly grabbed hold of the door knob closest to her and began to panic as she fumbled with the immovable door. "Let me out! I don't wanna be here anymore! Cancel the quest, please!" The girl cried.

In the darkness, I fumble my hands on the dirty, moldy wall desperately searching for one of the several door knobs I had seen just seconds ago. The fear was making the image I attempted to recall like acid dissolving through steel. The scratching of nails against the wall accelerated my heart-rate to a very uncomfortable pace. My mouth was beginning to feel dry as I gasped for air in desperation to escape this creature's domain. The posterized image of the creature's hand caressing the light bulb in it's hands was the only thing my mind could show me. I needed to run. "̶̣̟̣̳̃̈́͋̽W̵̮̭̚h̴̀͑

When Samantha opened her eyes she was in a dingy hallway with moldy yellow wallpaper. The black spots upon the wall ushered in the churning of her stomach. One singular light-bulb lit up the hallway allowing her to barely make out the silhouettes of door-frames and knobs. "Hello? ...?" The girl called out timidly to no response. Her footsteps quickly became the loudest sound just above the creaking under her feet and the soft pattering of rain against the roof. Suddenly a bolt of lightning flashed leaving the girl stunned. Flashing lights sent her into a panic. She felt blessed to be able

Today Firefly decided to leave Myst at home. She had researched the quest she was going on beforehand but it was confusing. It talked of demons and fears but couldn't clarify an exact type. That these entities are known to change depending on the person who did it. It wouldn't be weird to believe that the models were simply randomized. The journey to the location was difficult. Without pathways or simple modes of transportation as a result of that, Firefly was left entirely with her own two feet. It took some time to travel. It was as quick as possible thanks to the map proved with the in

Myst watched carefully for Pollux to open her arms in welcome but it never came. Thankfully the feline was smart enough to understand its own plight and refrained from forcing Yue Hua to catch her, especially when the girl made it clear that jumping was not going to end up in her favor. Firefly took little time in snatching up the ladder anyways. Pollux would mention that her crafting was finished for the day and she was simply looking for a way to fill the rest of her day. “Man I should really unlock crafting myself. I hear it takes some time to level up with the daily limits imposed on

As Firefly attempted to get the training done she sighed in a bit of defeat. Today might be a bust for her. Maybe Morningstar could enlighten her on the proper way to train a little pet since he had one of his own. Oddly enough, the bird would not be the first to hear Yue Hua's approach though. Even in the digital world with her sight restored, she retained that ability to pick up on the smallest of sounds -- Footsteps especially. She would turn just in time to see the winged creature escape the loud noises around it now, somehow it wasn't her. "O-Oh Pollux... Well, this embarrassing." He

On the sidelines of the incident before them, Firefly was merely witnessing. Of course she was able to hit some attacks here and there, and it wasn't even doing that much. So when Acanthus decided to go the other direction to attack the boss she had to wonder for the girl's sanity for a moment. She wasn't a doctor, nor would she put some judgement on this woman without justification, but she wasn't sure if Acanthus was on the mark for this one. 3ulogy assured her that she simply was having a moment. "Oh, I see!" She chuckled, realizing with that the girl might just be a bit ditzy. "I'm blind i

The water that Morningstar gifted her was great. She took a quick sip of it for herself before putting some small amount in her free hand to let Myst take some. She would then put it away under shawl to save it for later. Myst herself was clung happily to her owner, making sure to stay close and not get lost. "Don't worry Myst, we're getting these quests done so we don't have to come back here... hopefully." The cat mewed in annoyance, having to suffer through it no matter what their owner decided. Perhaps next time she would just leave Myst at home. Some time would go by as the three con

The paladin struck an amazing pose like the hero of a fictional story landing the final blow on the greatest evil to save the kingdom. Did she always take things so seriously? It was a little refreshing to see when she had constantly been thinking about protecting her life. Yuki's voice would wake her up from her own thoughts, though. "R-Right!" The Butterfly Cross-Blade glowed softly and pulsated with a sword art armed and deadly. It kicked up sand as it tore through the scales of the beast leaving an extremely small cut in it's wake. The HP of the monster reflected the mark she left. "W

Yuki was quick to get things across, that was something Firefly was learning very quickly. She reminded herself of how terrified she was to go outside of the safe zones… Comparing herself to Yuki, the paladin’s confidence was insanely impressive. It was almost contagious. Once Yuki had introduced herself, Firefly would wave to the two strangers. “H-Hey there! I’m Firefly. I’m, uh- a bit of a weakling but-“ The Paladin would interrupt her by throwing her arm around her guild mate. “Oi oi! Senpai, you can’t say things like that! You’re learning and growing!” Yuki smiled to the others.
