Nikki Styx 0 Posted March 18, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Dear Haine In preparation for Swifts upcoming wedding, I would like to extend a hand of friendship and get to know you better. I would love if you would join me for a Picnic under the shady tree in the south end of town on floor two. Ill bring everything we need including Dessert. Hope to see you soon Nikki Nikki kept going over the letter in her mind. She had written it the day prior and had it delivered today to the younger blue haired girl called Haine. She was keen to know the girl who would also be a bridesmaid at Swifts wedding. That unto itself was a strange thought, Swift getting married, in game. While it was not uncommon for things like this to happen, she had just never really seen these kinds of marriages. She smiled now dismissing her own thoughts and tilting her head back to take in the warm sun as she sat on a red and white checkered blanket. Nikki had chosen to wear a breezy blue dress out today. It was far more conservative as it was a full topped dress with half sleeves, as well as coming down to just below her knees. She completed the ensemble with a simple pair of sandals and by putting her long blue hair into a single braid. Beside her sat a large wicker basket. All that she needed now was the guest of honor so to speak. Link to post Share on other sites
Haine 0 Posted March 18, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Haine had been running A FEW minutes late. "AH!! Oh no! Yue!! YOU SHOULD'VE REMINDED ME!!" the bluenette wailed as she scurried over to her destination. She then saw another girl laying on the grass. That had to be her! The rustling teenager trampled her way over to Nikki. "A-Ah gomene! I am always late I'M SO SORRY!!!" she apologized, bowing over a million times frantically. Haine wore clothes that she found comfortable for her. She wore a teal plaited skirt and a light blue shirt. Over it was a simple white cardigan and her hair was 'half and half'. (Like Asuna's hairstyle except the end thingy is long and a bit curly.) She wore simple white flats. She was in a rush and put on just about any random clothing that she found in her inventories list. She was quite unusual in many ways.. Link to post Share on other sites
Nikki Styx 0 Posted March 18, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Nikki Looked up and smiled at the other blue haired girl, clearly this was Haine. She stood up politely and held out her hand for Haine to shake. "Don't worry about it, this is supposed to be a relaxing day, its no matter if yer a few minutes late." Her voice was soft and sweet, and she smiled very pleasantly as she spoke. "I see you have a familiar. Im sure I have some extra sandwiches packed for just such an event." Nikki sat back down on the grass, and gestured for Haine to do the same. "Its a wonderful day out, I'm so glad we were able to get this spot. I was almost certain it would already have been picked up." Link to post Share on other sites
Haine 0 Posted March 18, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 18, 2014 "Okiee! Yeah and my familiars name is Yue!" she exclaimed as she plopped down beside Nikki childishly. "And really? I guess today is super ultra lucky!" Haine giggled as she looked around, taking in the pleasant scenery before her. Link to post Share on other sites
Nikki Styx 0 Posted March 19, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted March 19, 2014 "Its a pleasure to meet you Yue" Nikki said gently as Haine sat down beside her. She herself had not managed to find a familiar yet, in truth things were far too hectic, and she just did not have the time. She reached over touching the basket gently before lifting the lid and reaching a hand inside. She had many yummy treats in their, A few types of sandwich, and several bottles filled with various drinks she had learned about. After a few moments of digging around all the while trying to make sure Haine could not see the Dessert, Nikki produced a pair of red bottles. Everything had been color coded so that she could find it easier, after all she didn't want to accidentally drink one of the bottles of sandwich sauce. "Today is a great day... You like strawberries?" She spoke with a pleasant smile as she handed one of the bottles to Haine. "Its flavored like Strawberry juice." Link to post Share on other sites
Haine 0 Posted March 21, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Yue silently watched Nikki. This wolf was a very quiet and observant one. Whenever she opened her mouth, it was to correct you or insult you. Haine gratefully accepted the bottle with sparkly eyes. "I LOVE STRAWBERRIEEEEEEES!!!!!" she squealed enthusiastically as she bounced up and down a little. Link to post Share on other sites
Nikki Styx 0 Posted March 21, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Nikki smiled as Haine took the strawberry drink. She turned her gaze now to the wolf. "Im sorry Yue, I didn't know you were coming, I don't think I have any drinks that you would like."She sounded almost regretful. In truth she was unsure if the animal could understand her at all, she hadn't gotten any familiar tactics, so she figured that communication might be at a standstill. Still she hoped that both would appreciate her trying anyways. "So Haine, How did you meet Swift?" Link to post Share on other sites
Haine 0 Posted March 22, 2014 #8 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Yue nodded as if she knew what Nikki was saying. Truth be told.. Yue actually had the ability to talk.. she just didn't talk much and whatever came out of her mouth was a sarcastic joke or an insult. "How did I meet 'sis'? Oh! You see I was exploring one day! There were so many new places that popped up in Aincrad. Then by fate I ended up bumping into Swift! She was really lost. Oh yeah! It was on the first day of the official launch of SAO!" the golden eyed girl nodded proudly as she smiled. Link to post Share on other sites
Nikki Styx 0 Posted March 22, 2014 Author #9 Share Posted March 22, 2014 The confusion that occurred, the despair, and the great loss of life as players "opted out" for good. It had been a very bad day for many people, that's what Nikki remembered of that day, and the week to follow, but to think that good had come on that was a comforting thought. She was also glad that Haine had managed to get so far into the game, despite her impulsive nature, Nikki had seen many dedicated players get destroyed each one more focused than the last. "You know I met Swift while I was out hunting wasps..." Nikki quickly flashed a smile as she thought of that day. "Ya know she stole one of my kills, and then lectured me for not being safe." She still couldn't get over the irony of it, telling a random person they weren't being safe after stealing a groups kill. In this game kill thieves wound up getting hurt.

Haine 0 Posted March 22, 2014 #10 Share Posted March 22, 2014 "Haha! That does sound like her! She loves to criticize but I still wuv her!" the bluenette giggled happily. "So.. how's SAO going for you? Any fun adventures?" the long haired girl asked nosily with a sparkle in her eyes. Link to post Share on other sites
Nikki Styx 0 Posted March 22, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Nikki smiled thoughtfully for a moment. She had been doing well In SAO. Finding a guild, advancing through its ranks, even finding... Axel. Her thoughts stayed with him a moment, their first date, which had not started as one, the time after, he was coming to the wedding. It was a pretty clear indication that she was quite taken with him. She stopped for a second realizing that she had simply stared off into space for a bit. She gave her head a little shake and smiled blushing a bit. "I've been doing well... Im a Sargent with the Ebon Vanguard. And I'm going to the front lines soon." She leaned back taking a sip of the strawberry drink before putting the flask it was in down. still smiling she looked over at Haine. "How have you been making out?" Link to post Share on other sites
Haine 0 Posted March 22, 2014 #12 Share Posted March 22, 2014 "Me? Well.. I was kinda lonely at first.. but a friend taught me about the good sides of SAO! And now I'm a fellow member of the Phoenix Signers! I'm also planning to be a performer!" she stated as she munched down a bit on a sandwich as she rocked back and forth pleasantly.

Nikki Styx 0 Posted March 22, 2014 Author #13 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Nikki couldn't help but smile at Haines answer. She was just so... innocent to say the least. There were not many people like that in the real world, and even fewer in SAO. She must have had some wonderful friends to have survived like this in the Death Game. Even Nikki had had some problems and nearly been beaten a few times. She took a second to lean back and reach into the basket looking for the sandwiches. She had a few types not knowing what Haine liked. "A performer eh? What ya gonna perform?" Link to post Share on other sites
Haine 0 Posted March 22, 2014 #14 Share Posted March 22, 2014 "You see.. I am not very sure if the type of music I'm looking to perform is available in SAO... I like electro! You know the thingies you mix loops on? It would be a dream come true because I'm actually in a school in training for being an idol in the real world! So.. I'm gonna sing and play the violin.. and maybe if the piano is nearby I can use that! I want to share my talent with others.." she gasped in awe as a tint of pink formed on her cheeks. Music was her life.. and it was how she coped with everything... without it, she'd simply break down! Link to post Share on other sites
Nikki Styx 0 Posted March 22, 2014 Author #15 Share Posted March 22, 2014 It was nice to hear the young girl speak so fondly of music. Nikki was like that, though her passion was video games. Anything to do with them really, playing, testing, beating... she loved it all. She looked back at Haine and smiled. "I bet yer great at it" She said before turning back to the basket. "What would you like to eat? I have Cheese, or Ham, or roast beef sandwiches." As she spoke she began pulling out a few jars of sauces and a plate with several wrapped sandwiches on it. Don't take this the wrong way But I couldn't picture a girl like you playing a game like this. What made you want to play SAO?" Link to post Share on other sites
Haine 0 Posted March 22, 2014 #16 Share Posted March 22, 2014 "Thanks! And.. BEEEFFF!!!" she exclaimed with sparkling eyes. "Well... I was not much of a gamer, more of a mixer.. but on a website I watched a preview of the launch of SAO.. and I just had to buy a copy! So first thing I raced to the store and was lucky enough to buy a copy with a nervegear and all that jazz.. not so lucky you would say.. but at least I'm not lonely like I was in the real world!' she giggled with a shrug.

Nikki Styx 0 Posted March 22, 2014 Author #17 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Nikki chuckled at Haines excitement as she handed her a wrapped sandwich with a red bot on the wrap. She then took a blue one for ham, and a yell one for cheese and unwrapped them both. it took her a second but she soon had both sandwiches put together to make a ham and cheese. As Nikki took a bite she couldn't help but sympathize with Haines statement about not being lonely here. There were a lot of nights back in the real world that she spent alone wishing for companionship, but that was no problem here in Aincrad. "I used to be alone too... all the time. People said I wasn't very friendly." She stopped thinking that this was too sad a topic for a day like this. After all here they were, the weather was gorgeous and they were getting to know each other on the eve of a friends wedding. Nothing should bring them down. "Hey.. wanna know a secret" She asked now attempting to re lighten the mood. Link to post Share on other sites
Haine 0 Posted March 22, 2014 #18 Share Posted March 22, 2014 She nodded in an understanding manner. But when she heard what Nikki had said, she gasped as her eyes lit up in excitement. She loved secrets! She didn't really tell secret but she sure did love hearing them!! "I wanna know! Secrets are fun!" she shouted as she bounced up and down. Link to post Share on other sites
Nikki Styx 0 Posted March 22, 2014 Author #19 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Nikki laughed again a little louder this time, she actually had to cover her mouth to keep bits of sandwich from flying out. This was definitely a better way to go mood wise. "Ok... But you have to promise not to tell anyone." As she spoke she gave Haine a little wink."So.. I think I have a boyfriend" She quickly took another bite of her sandwich to try and hide the excitement that she herself now felt. It was the first time she had said the words out loud and they made her heart race. Link to post Share on other sites
Haine 0 Posted March 22, 2014 #20 Share Posted March 22, 2014 "You do? That's awesome! I can tell you a secret in return! I am bipolar.. I know that's why I'm hyper and all over the place!" she confessed. "A-And I wish I could have a boyfriend.. I do like someone.. but he will NEVER like me at all.." she said as she tried not cry. She would never love again. Immediately she diverted her attention to the beautiful weather, her happiness coming back bit by bit. Link to post Share on other sites
