Sayori 0 Posted April 8, 2020 #1 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) Sayori sat on her heels, her head was tilted down as she looked at the grave she made for Kaito. Even with it being about two years ago now, the pain was just as fresh as it was when it happened. Sayori closed her eyes and took a deep breath as she pushed the memories of that day down again. With a frustrated sigh in response to the self guilt and blame just surged back, despite Sayori's attempts at dispelling them, she allowed herself to fall back onto her back as she opened her eyes looking up at the sky overhead. She balled her fists as she angry with herself and with this game, despite knowing the futility of that. It was the sudden shadow being cast over her face that caused Sayori to focus and snap out of her thoughts as her eyes adjusted to try and make out who loomed over her. Part of her was welcoming death as it would provide a release from the turmoil she was dealing with, but a larger part of her quickly squished those thoughts as they arose. The hooded figure casting the shadow over Sayori spoke with a mocking tone at least that's how it sounded to her and the voice sounded like Kaito's for a brief moment "You look pretty strong." Sayori gritted her teeth as it sounded like someone mimicking her dead friend was mocking. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't find the words, so instead she just glared up at the figure. The hooded figure continued "I'm looking to test my skills. If you beat me, I'll teach you a hidden skill. What do you say?" The figure suddenly spoke with a much friendlier tone of voice then earlier, though there Sayori was sure there was a insult of mocking of her hidden in it. With a deep breath she pushed herself up to her feet as she looked at the figure "I'll beat you, if only for the fact that you sullied the memories of a good friend of mine." Jus as sudden as the hooded figure appeared, it disappeared as well. Sayori looked around as she thought the figure wanted to fight her. A brief moment later she saw a ping on her map. Sayori turned towards the grave of Kaito and smiled a little "Even from the grave you know how to kick me out of my stupor Kaito-chan" She chuckled softly before starting the trek to Starting City, so she could get on with this fight.

Sayori 0 Posted April 11, 2020 Author #2 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Sayori had stood a ways away from the entrance to Starting City for a while now, despite wanting to pursue this challenge she still had some difficulties with actually going into the city. It had been close to two years now since she ran out of the city. She shook her head as she took a deep calming breath and pushed herself through the mental barrier she created in the entrance. As she stepped through the gate she felt a mix of emotion welling up consisting of relief and profound sadness that she was quite alone, but as always she showed nothing of the emotional turmoil to the world around her. She crossed the city with a purposeful stride, always looking ahead of herself. Not stopping to greet or interact with the people she came across. She had a singular destination in mind, yet the moment she stood in front of the entry into the City's centre plaza she froze on the spot as she simply stared dead ahead. Her mind was racing as memories of that first day in Aincrad resurfaced. The horrible announcement that was made that day, the mirror items that made their avatars resemble their real selves and then of course the falling out she had with one of her friends. Now a small crack in her otherwise calm facade showed as a few tears silently rolled down her face. It took a shake of her head and another deep breath before Sayori forced herself onto the plaza, she approached the statue to the fallen in the middle and quickly looked up on specific name. When she found it she just stared at it for a while, resting her forehead against the monument as she allowed herself a moment to cry in silence as the memories of the day that Kaito died came back.

Sayori 0 Posted April 12, 2020 Author #3 Share Posted April 12, 2020 With a deep breath Sayori regained her composure again. She pressed one hand against the monument over Kaito's name and the other she held against her chest. She wasn't intending of returning to the monument for a while. After a moment she turned around and left the plaza and headed for the teleporter in the city. Before stepping onto the teleporter she looked around for one last time before stepping onto the platform speaking with a clear and calm voice "Teleport Krycim" Sayori stumbled a bit as she tried to step of the teleporter, simply by the sheer suffocating feeling the sudden damp and hot air gave. She needed a moment to catch her breath, after which she pressed on. She didn't take a lot of time to look around the city, as she was determined and focused on finding the stranger who challenged her to come here. But whilst she wanted to get a move on getting out of the city, she found herself getting lost a little, the silver lining she found in that though was that she did get to explore the city a little bit. If only for a brief moment. "Well as beautiful as it is here, not going to buy a house here.. Way to damn warm for me." She mostly spoke to herself as she looked back over the city from the city gate. Link to post Share on other sites
Sayori 0 Posted April 12, 2020 Author #4 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Sayori unsheathed her blade and looked at it for a moment as she softly whispered under her breath "I won't break our promise Kaito-chan." With those words said she fell into silent determination as she went out of the city of Krycim. She brought the co-ordinates up and started making her way there. She took a fairly slow, but safe approach as she did her best to avoid getting the attention of the floor's monsters as she didn't think she could take them on just yet on her own. As she travelled through the jungle floor she occasionally used her sword to cut her way through some of the undergrowth and she simply allowed herself for the first time since she had realised she was stuck here to simply enjoy the sights Aincrad had to offer. That gave her some inspiration for a song, but she just committed that to memory for now. As now wasn't time to start writing songs or making music. After a few hours of walking she came onto a small clearing dominated by a lake with a island in the middle of it. She could see the figure standing in the distance on the island. Sayori took a moment to look for a way towards the island and started walking there once she found it. Once she got to the small narrow land bridge leading to the island she paused as she mentally prepared herself for what was to come. Link to post Share on other sites
Sayori 0 Posted April 12, 2020 Author #5 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) Sayori took deep calming breaths as she crossed the narrow land bridge towards the island. As she stepped onto the island she looked around as she searched for the figure as she made her way further into the small island's centre. "Hello? Anyone here?" Her voice echoed a little in the clearing formed by the lake. Just as Sayori was about to turn around and leave again she heard something behind her and turned towards the source of it. To her surprise she saw herself charging at her and swinging a blade at her. Sayori tried to dodge out of the way, but she wasn't fast enough to avoid getting hit, luckily for her the fact that she turned around a threw the strike off enough that even as the Gemini tried to change the direction of the blow it struck nothing but air. Sayori shifted her stance as she focused her attention on her opponent which appeared to be herself. She shook her head a little as she kept her mind focused. Gemini smirked as her blow went wide and spoke up "My my, you are a lucky one. We can't say the same of Kaito-san, now can we?" ------------------- Sayori - HP: 20/20 _ En: 2/2 _ DMG: 2 _ Mit: 9 _ Acc: 0 _ Eva: 0 - Gemini - HP: 10/10 _ DMG: 5 _ MIT: 1 _ Acc: 0 _ Eva: 0 Critical Hits: 5 + 1 on a natural MD 9, 5 + 2 on a natural MD 10. <<Disguise>>: +1 ACC to <<The Gemini>>'s first attack.

Sayori 0 Posted April 13, 2020 Author #6 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Sayori growled with barely restrained anger at the jabbing remark the Gemini made and lashed out in anger at her enemy. Both with her sword and her words "You don't get to speak his name!" Of course as Sayori lost her cool, so went just about everything she knew on sword fighting as the blow just sailed through the air harmlessly. The fact that her strike didn't come anywhere close to hitting its target only added to the growing frustration in Sayori. Sayori had a very aggressive stance as she was breathing heavily, her face showing the barely contained rage that burned within her. As the Gemini circled around her, Sayori kept turning to face her opponent. The Gemini feeling a bit overconfident hanged back a little before lashing out with her own strike aimed at Sayori, who simply deflected the blow with her gauntlet. "Did I hit a snare there, you really liked him didn't you? So why did you let him die then Sayori-san." Despite its bow being deflected by Sayori, the Gemini kept up its needling remarks aimed at Sayori, clearly not caring to much if she missed as she kept a calm collected stance, in sharp contrast to the aggressive stance of Sayori, as she circled her opponent. ------------------- Sayori - HP: 20/20 _ En: 2/2 _ DMG: 2 _ Mit: 9 _ Acc: 0 _ Eva: 0 - Gemini - HP: 10/10 _ DMG: 5 _ MIT: 1 _ Acc: 0 _ Eva: 0 Critical Hits: 5 + 1 on a natural MD 9, 5 + 2 on a natural MD 10. <<Disguise>>: +1 ACC to <<The Gemini>>'s first attack.

Sayori 0 Posted April 13, 2020 Author #7 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Sayori let out a roar as she surged forward swinging her blade sideways at the Gemini. As she poured her anger and frustrations into the blow, the Gemini had to act quickly to avoid getting hit and managed to catch the strike on her sword, deflecting it away from itself. Sayori didn't relent as she just turned around to bring her sword around again, hoping to strike the smirk of the Gemini's face. Gemini quickly capitalised on the opening she saw Sayori create with her aggressive blow and side stepped as she parried the blow. As Sayori shot past it the Gemini brought its sword down with a downward strike grazing Sayori over her back. The armour took the worst of the blow, but there was still a long shallow cut left over Sayori's back. Sayori grunted as she turned around to face her opponent again, the fact that she got struck by the Gemini only seemed to aggravate her rising temper more. The Gemini spoke up again "If you can't keep yourself out of harms way, its no wonder you failed to keep him alive." The Gemini chuckled a little as it obviously enjoyed getting a rise out of Sayori. ------------------- Gemini's attack hits.

Sayori 0 Posted April 13, 2020 Author #8 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Sayori her armour glowed for a little as the long shallow cut on her back closed up again as the armour's enhancements activated as Sayori just took damage from the Gemini's attack. Feeling a bit of increase of confidence as she felt the cut on her back healing. Sayori took a deep breath as she recalled the lessons of her Uncle Juroh about not letting her emotions take control of her. Feeling herself to be a bit calmed she waited for the Gemini to strike out first. The Gemini growled as the damage it had done to Sayori got healed away and lunged out with frustration. The attack was easy to spot and Sayori simply stepped aside and slashed her sword horizontally across the stomach of the Gemini. Feeling the blade leaving a cut across her abdomen the Gemini growled in pain and with frustration. Sayori smirked as she felt her blade connect and turned around to face the Gemini again "That one was for Kaito. The next one is for myself." The boost to her confidence helped Sayori slip back into her normal calm demeanour. Sayori lowered herself a bit by sinking through her knees, her free hand was held out in front of her so she could us the gauntlet as a improvised shield and her sword was held horizontally so its point was aimed at the Gemini. ------------------- Sayori hits for 2 DMG, Gemini's MIT of 1 reduces that to 1 Sayori - HP: 20/20 _ En: 2/2 _ DMG: 2 _ Mit: 9 _ Acc: 0 _ Eva: 0 +1 HP as Regen Heals me for 5 - Gemini - HP: 9/10 _ DMG: 5 _ MIT: 1 _ Acc: 0 _ Eva: 0 Critical Hits: 5 + 1 on a natural MD 9, 5 + 2 on a natural MD 10. <<Disguise>>: +1 ACC to <<The Gemini>>'s first attack. -1 HP Dice Rolls Spoiler ID Battle Craft Loot MOB Character Link Purpose Time 141170 6 9 13 1 Sayori Gemini attack vs Sayori and Sayori attack vs Gemini 2020-04-13 08:10:44 Edited April 13, 2020 by Sayori Link to post Share on other sites
Sayori 0 Posted April 16, 2020 Author #9 Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Anger by the facts that both the nick she got on Sayori had healed away, her next attack as avoided and that Sayori managed to land a blow on it the Gemini spun on her heels and lunged out for Sayori. The speed and ferocity of the attack caught Sayori of guard and the blow slipped past her defences, again her armour to the worst of it leaving Sayori with only a small cut on her side to show for it. Sayori feeling more confident with herself now pressed the attack, hoping to capitalise on the opening she saw as the Gemini's back was turned towards her. She shot forward and struck a quick grazing blow aimed the back of the Gemini's shoulders, the blow struck true but instead of connecting with the back it connected with the front of the Gemini's shoulders, as the Gemini's own blow connect with her side. They both grunted and stepped back as they kept probing for a opening to strike again. --------------------------------------------------- Sayori hits Gemini for 2 DMG, Gemini's MIT of 1 reduces that to 1 Gemini hits Sayori for 5 DMG, Sayori's MIT of 9 reduces that to 1 Sayori - HP: 19/20 _ En: 2/2 _ DMG: 2 _ Mit: 9 _ Acc: 0 _ Eva: 0 -1 HP - Gemini - HP: 8/10 _ DMG: 5 _ MIT: 1 _ Acc: 0 _ Eva: 0 Critical Hits: 5 + 1 on a natural MD 9, 5 + 2 on a natural MD 10. <<Disguise>>: +1 ACC to <<The Gemini>>'s first attack. -1 HP Dice Rolls Spoiler ID Battle Craft Loot MOB Character Link Purpose Time 141753 8 5 9 8 Sayori Gemini attack vs Sayori and Sayori attack vs Gemini 2020-04-16 07:52:07 Edited April 16, 2020 by Sayori Link to post Share on other sites
