Astra

Astra's eyes lit up as Bliss started to approach him, while he was standing outside of Fondante's Inferno. He immediately felt like he had lost his voice and couldn't speak, and his heart skipped a beat before beating to a much faster rhythm. What is this feeling? Why am I feeling like this? Bliss is a beautiful person, and just her presence alone could fill a room full of people with awe. Astra was one of those people, and he just couldn't help it. Just play it cool, find the right words. Play it cool, find the right words. The closer Bliss got Astra tried to move towards her as well, bu

When Astra had woken up at the inn he had been staying at in the Town of Beginnings, something was different. There was this feeling in his stomach that he just couldn't shake. Was he hungry? Usually, but that wasn't it. A morning cup of tea didn't do the trick either. It wasn't necessarily a bad feeling though, it was actually quite the opposite. He was nervous, but he was excited. He had butterflies in his stomach. Today he was going to be surprising Bliss, the girl he had met recently at the beach party, with a picnic on Floor 22. Jeeze, why am I so nervous about this? I'm sure things

As Ciela spun towards him, Astra could tell that her demeanor was infectious. Watching her spin and work around the store was not only inspiring, but also let him know that he was in the right kind of place. The kind of place where a good attitude and friendship meant something. As she expressed her recognition of him, Astra couldn't help but blushed. People had talked about him? Especially Siren and Wulfrin, who he regarded highly. "Hopefully they've said good things," he laughed. "They've been great to me so far. Really helping me find my footing." On the topic of the orphanage,

Astra walked into Fondante's Inferno, sitting quietly on the serene and lush floor 22. Immediately the sensational aroma of sweets and treats filled his nostrils and brought him into some sort of food heaven. He had heard of this shop before, because the owner and the cook extraordinaire was Ciela, who happened to be married to Wulfrin, who happened to be teaching Astra the ropes of SAO. He took in the sights of the adorned walls, and the rustic comforting feeling of the shop. This was a place to buy goods, but it also felt like another home. He hadn't officially met Ciela yet, but the s

"Hi, A-Astra. I'm B-Bliss," the beautiful girl enveloped in the waves said with a shy smile. As Astra looked closely at her blue eyes, he couldn't help but notice a dampness on her face, as if she'd been crying. Bliss patted the water next to her, and expressed that some company wouldn't hurt, so Astra began to sit down in the rolling waves next to her. As he sat down he unbuttoned and took off his linen shirt. Now, with shirt in hand, he was sitting in the water next to the seemingly popular blonde-haired beauty. "Bliss, that's a lovely name! I like it a lot. Seems fitting," he said wit

Naturally like any good quest, there was a part two. Of course the fatigued alchemist Zackariah didn't have Dorian's money, but that was no sweat to Astra. This was still just the start of his journey, and any hurdles were to be expected. Astra followed his companions as they walked through the Town of Beginnings to Lyle's forge, watching an influx of players and NPC's alike as they passed him by. As they crossed through the entrance to the forge, the sound of clanging metal filled Astra's ears. Astra looked towards Wulfrin, as he was leading the charge into the shop, and could hardly be

After watching his pseudo-mentor catch some fish, Astra turned his attention to the others who were walking along the beach. It seemed like a good chunk of the people here were at least somewhat familiar with each other, and were connecting and chatting without a care. His perception and penchant for people watching also gave him that the idea that some of the others here didn't know as many people, just like him. That was reassuring, he wasn't alone in that at least. Maybe it was time to try introducing himself to someone, come out of his shell just a bit. Astra noticed as an astounding

The relief of finding at least one material really settled Astra's nerves. On the brighter side, Oats had seemingly found every material necessary which really helped. At least they had completed this part of the quest without too much issue, though that's not to say that effort wasn't put in. "Good job, darlin’! I’m glad my little good luck charm worked for ya," Siren said to him. He hoisted himself off of his knees and stood up, extending an arm out and flipping his thumb upwards into a thumbs up. "At least it's something! The crown definitely helped. Seems like Oats carried us though.

"Let's just call it a safety net," Wulfrin responded to Astra's question. Curious about the intricacies of having your own shadow become a sort of familiar, but not wanting to pry too much, Astra nodded and continued to search for materials. "I've found one!" Oats being able to find some materials gave him a bit of hope. He smiled at his companion and raised his hand, giving a thumbs up. "Hey, nice! That's something." Even if he ended up finding no materials, at least his companions were. He hadn't spent a lot of time around them but so far he really felt like he could trust them. Relati

The sun beamed down on Astra as he made his way through the soft grass towards the even softer sand. He held one hand over his eyes, almost like a salute, so he could see what was going on ahead of him. Lo and behold, just like the posted message implied, a lot of other people were already here at the beach. It looks like they had begun scavenging for something, and he didn't want to interrupt. So many players that he didn't recognize, which made sense, as he'd only recently started getting his feet wet in the world. Nerves began to creep up as he thought of meeting all of these new people. Ho

Astra continued searching through the grass, with nothing fruitful turning up. "How am I supposed to get these materials back to Zackariah? I can't find a damn thing." Taking a moment to catch his breath, and regain some energy for resuming his search, he noticed a shadow moving quickly through the woods. As his eyes adjusted it seemed upon closer inspection that it was shaped like Wulfrin. Lifting his hands from the patch of shrubbery he was picking through, he turned to the party mentor. "Wulfrin, was that...Was that your shadow?" The inflection in his voice lent itself to his in

Astra followed his party out of Zackariah's shop and out of the Town of Beginnings, into the wild. He maintained a steady pace with the group that Wulfrin was taking the lead of, but made sure to take in all the sights and information he could. As they passed wild mobs who were grazing the area Astra made sure to study them as best as he could. You never know when you could be fighting them. Best to keep a distance though. Eventually they reached a pretty spacious and lush location, where they'd be searching for the materials. Wulfrin began to fish, while Oats and Siren began to search f

Astra stood in shock for a moment when Siren sent that friend request. The notification stood in front of his face and his eyes glazed over. He took a breath and pressed his finger on the "accept" button. "Hell yeah, this is good. This is progress." As Siren took the lead and led the party to the alchemists shop, Astra followed in tow. With a particular pep in his step. He was starting to make some moves, make some friends, start making a dent in the world. As they walked through the town he took in all of the sights and sounds. Players and NPCs alike were going about their business. He w

As Oats sat down next to him Astra offered a smile, and raised a hand in a wave. "A corporal, huh? That experience will probably take her far," he thought. He turned his attention back to Wulfrin, and nodded along as instruction for the quest was provided. The mayor of Tolbana, check. The prospect of new gear from a blacksmith sounded like music to his ears. He's barely swung the sword on his back, but a better sword could be great for moving up the floors. New armor? That would be great. The idea of wearing heavy plate armor, or anything heavier than light or some medium armor, would no

Astra took the player up on his offer and sat down at the seat across. The moment an assortment of meats and cheeses appeared on the table he reached out and took a bite of some cheese and meat together. Astra had a slim frame, but he could eat any time. Thankfully it seems like that appetite made no difference in SAO. As Wulfrin provided his introduction and modus operandi for being there, Astra nodded along. "Wulfrin and Solaris, it's a pleasure to meet you." A warm smile spread on his face. A frontliner DPS who specialized in one-handed straight swords, pretty much everything he wante

It was another day on Floor 1 of Aincrad, where players mostly went about their business and NPCs went about their daily routines. No matter how much time he spent here, especially in this safe zone, Astra couldn't help but feel like he was missing something. Players were out there clearing floors, risking their lives fighting mobs and others to make some headway in this unfamiliar world. Where did he fit into that? He couldn't idle around any longer while everyone else put in the work. It was time to put his sword to use and get stronger. The white haired young man walked through the To
