A freak accident waiting to happen.
[Sachi never really expected a lot of the things that she experienced leading up to now.
From being returned to life as an NPC within the world of New Aincrad and ALfheim by proxy, to being returned to the world proper from inside a camera that was her former guildmate's doing, to being thrust into one of the capers that he'd gotten tangled with, she felt a strange mixture of being blessed that she could continue on, albeit in an awkward shell of sorts, and being confused that she's still even alive. Not that it kept her from being happy to be back -- especially since she could meet the many people that pushed him to become what he is today.
Nothing could really describe her confusion at what was going on now, though--the fact that she was helping him find, of all things, a stash of... 'unmentionables', so to speak. This was awkward; why was she the only one that could help him with something like this? Isn't it a bit much to ask her of something like that in the first place!? DX ...Though then again, now that she reflects on it, it's not like Kirito has any better choices right now...
...well, best to pull it together for him. She can't let him down...though that might be harder to avoid than she's expecting it to be...
Sachi's lens widen and narrow in bewilderment as she stares into the darkness under Kirito's bed...]
Er...Kirito? Are you sure this is where you left it?

Sachi's lens widen and narrow in bewilderment as she stares into the darkness under Kirito's bed...]
Er...Kirito? Are you sure this is where you left it?
no subject
It doesn't take her long before the realization of what he's thinking of hits her, and said lens widens accordingly...]
If whoever looked through your things was in enough of a rush...there's a chance of it...
[Considering the tone of voice she had, it's probably easy to imagine the sheer nope on Sachi's face right now...]
no subject
[ NOPE. NOPE. N O P E .
He's going where no man has gone before. And he doesn't like it one bit. This is even worse than all the times he either walked in on or saw his fellow gamer girls in varying states of undress... and that's saying a lot...
Eventually, they finish searching the room, with no results, but there's a very obvious traumatized look on his face as he shuts the door behind him as he starts heading back to his own room. ]
Never again... let us never speak of this again...
no subject
[Sob. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOB.
That whole search felt so much like an intrusion into privacy that it physically hurt even though she shouldn't be feeling it... Kirito certainly isn't the only one coming out more mortified than they were moments ago...]
...Yes. Yes, I'd like that. I'd rather not remember that we just went into your aunt's room to find something we need to throw out...
no subject
[ Kirito may be exaggerating, but that's basically how he feels after searching his aunt's room for those... those things...
He frowns, passing by Suguha's room on his way back - and shakes his head. Yeah, no, if someone had hidden them there, of all places, he'd definitely hear of it. As well as feel it, too, if her way with the shinai was any indication...
Eventually he settles on flopping onto his bed, sighing loudly and scratching his head in aggravation as he groans. ]
Where could they have gone? I doubt it's anywhere else in the house, otherwise I'd definitely have heard of it by now...
no subject
Maybe they sold it...? Or they left it outside the house somewhere and forgot it...
no subject
[ Kirito makes a face, though. Who'd even want those magazines aside from fellow perverted schoolmates and other people? ]
And if it's outside, that'd be even worse... unless someone thought it was trash and left them outside... then that's one less thing to worry about...
... aaaaah, what a mess. I should've tossed those out as soon as it was mentioned...
no subject
But considering the usual reaction he'd get, he probably wouldn't consider her at first, would he? :|;]
You don't have to think too hard about it...just relax for now; we could always try again later, right?
no subject
That said, though, Kirito nods, sighing as he glances over at the camera and gives Sachi a lopsided smile. ]
Yeah... sorry about dragging you into this, Sachi. You're really the only one I can ask to help me with this...
no subject
[And that wasn't even going into their new batch of friends. She was pretty sure asking his teacher for help would be an extra special kind of awkward, and then there was the girls from Kibougahana... :|;;;;}
no subject
[ To say nothing of how the others would react... :| !!!
Either way, Kirito eventually sits up, shrugging it off as he pulls himself upright and takes her camera in his hands. ]
Thank you, though. I really do appreciate it, Sachi.
no subject
[She's just happy to be able to spend some more time with him. Being on the other side of reality makes it so easy to start fretting for the people you care about...
A beat later, her lens widens a bit.]
...Oh, that reminds me. Did you have anything else to do today? I remember you wanting me to remind you about something, but...I think I forgot what it was.
[For reasons she won't discuss, because they already agreed to never talk about that trip into his aunt's room again... :|;]
no subject
[ Oh, there was something he wanted to get at the library, now that he thinks of it... especially with how his phone blew up when he woke up this morning... ]
I think one of the mechatronics reference books I requested's in at the library, actually. Should probably pick that up before it closes...
[ Kirito sighs, placing Sachi's camera back on his shelf, before pausing. ]
I should be back soon, all right? Keep an eye on the room for me - we can search for... that... again, when I get back.
no subject
[While she didn't really like being stuck behind a camera (How can she operate a phone when she doesn't have a hand to touch it with... :|), there was at least one thing that she could say was convenient about it -- she won't have to worry about passing out while on watch.
That being said, she widens the lens again so she has a somewhat clear view of things from the shelf.]
no subject
Either way, Kirito smiles, waving at the camera with a lopsided smile and a nod before he heads out. ]
Thanks... I'll see you soon, Sachi.
[ With that he closes the door behind him to leave, though she will be able to hear some muffled wondering from Kirito regarding who'd even want something like that from his room...
Once he leaves the house entirely, the whole room is quiet, save for the quiet hum of his computer, currently in sleep mode. It looks like he could be gone a while... ]
no subject
Seriously...even though she only really has his word to go off of, when the thought that someone keeps filching through his room comes into play, she just can't help but wonder why anyone would... It's not like Kirito's hiding a pile of confidential files under his bed. Or anywhere else, for that matter. The question of 'who' still bothered her, too. And it wasn't like she could really suspect any of his gamer girl friends of being that dirty-handed, either...well, at least, as far as she knew, anyway...
Hopefully she'd have some sort of answer to this soon; this was going to eat away at her for a while, she was sure.
As she continues keeping watch, she finds herself drifting a little, contemplating those thoughts...]
no subject
If that wasn't enough, she'd also be able to pick up what definitely sounds like someone whispering to another person; apparently whomever just came home brought a guest. Either way, the next several minutes are nothing but the sounds of footsteps wandering around downstairs, almost as if they were casing the house... the footsteps soon continue into the upstairs area and outside the room, though tellingly, they don't actually go straight into Kirito's room - rather, it sounds more like they're wandering around upstairs again...
Definitely suspicious.
Eventually, the door opens up; slowly at first, and then in a wide arc as... someone who is definitely NOT Kirito enters the room, a particularly large grin on their face as they look around and walk right in. ]
It's okay! The coast is clear... good for us, it doesn't look like Kirito-kun's gonna be home anytime soon.
[ Liz glances back towards the door as she looks at her accomplice with a slightly annoyed huff, gesturing to her. ]
Seriously, just get in here already! No need to stand around looking lost, Sinonon...
no subject
...of course, nothing quite prepares her for what she sees when the door opens...especially when a certain teal-haired sniper she recognizes -- rather, the brunette behind the sniper -- comes along too. :|;;;;]
It's not so much 'lost' as it is 'why am I even here'...
[The flat-faced archer of their band of gamers steps in, sounding just as irate as she looked. Seriously, Liz? Of all the things, you want to look at what you found under his bed again? Seriously, it's getting a little out of hand...
At least she didn't have her homework to worry about; she'd taken care of that as soon as she could have...but still...]
Do you have some kind of secret love for looking at those, or something?
[...Sachi hushes up for now, trying to keep track of all this as quietly as possible...]
no subject
[ Liz, you sound a little TOO quick to fire back at your accuser there...
Either way, though, she looks seriously as Sinon as she crosses her arms, making a 'tch'ing sound with her teeth as she raises a finger, looking ready to teach Sinon a thing right this moment. ]
It's not a secret love as it is more research! As you already know, Kirito-kun is a mysterious person, wrapped in an enigma, and continually clothed in riddles! To know him deeply is as esteemed a journey as the many Grand Quests we've been on in ALfheim Online!
[ Liz huffs loudly, putting her hands on her hips as she looks at Sinon dead in the eye, a serious expression on her face. ]
I'm offering you an opportunity! To help you understand what Kirito-kun likes in a girl, understand? How else will you get him to notice you otherwise?
no subject
[She tries to resist the urge to just smack her head after hearing that quick retort, but it's no good. Her hand meets squarely with her forehead, and she sighs in exasperation.
And as for her offer? Yeah, no, she's staring right back. :|]
I don't want to make him notice me... didn't I tell you at least once on the way here? He already has Asuna.
[Seriously, Liz, you are not getting her to make him cheat on his girlfriend. :|!!!!!
Meanwhile...Sachi's just staring at all this and taking it in. Because, uh...wow. WOW. So much for not being able to accuse his friends of something like that... What has she gotten herself into NOW...?]
no subject
Well, of course! We already know that much. But you can't honestly tell me that you haven't wondered just what he likes, can you?
[ And then she points dramatically at Sinon, as if to make her point. ]
'But Liz, Kirito-kun already has Asuna for all of that!'
[ . . . did you just seriously imitate Sinon's voice right then and there, Liz? Really? ]
I already know that you're thinking that! But you never know, you could still have a shot! What if he likes things like nekomimi, or glasses-wearing girls? You could have an advantage over her and you might not even know it--!
So come on! Are you going to tell me you wouldn't want to know anyway?
[ . . . this is the problem when one of your main supporters of your relationship with Asuna also has a crush on you. Ridiculous shenanigans like this. ]
no subject
[Liz's vocal imitation gets her the flattest of looks, of course...but there's a flicker of a raise in her brow as she listens to her.
After a moment's consideration, she sighs and nods... :|]
...Okay, I'll admit it. I'm at least a little bit curious...
[Even if she wasn't going to get him in the end, who wouldn't be at least a little curious about what could draw him to them...? Besides, it wasn't like he was here to look anyway. So what's the harm?
Sachi continues to stare awkwardly at all this, making notes for herself to detail out to Kirito when he gets home because oh god. OOOOOOOOH GOD. If she doesn't, she's going to be a nervous wreck just trying to remember... /)_(\]
no subject
[ Too bad Liz doesn't know about the young woman turned NPC spying on them from her camera, though...
Either way, Liz is already making a beeline for... his computer desk? She studies it for a few moments, before sitting down in front of the desk, cross-legged, and reaching for a certain drawer. ]
Right, if I remember, it was... aha! This drawer!
[ As Sachi'll soon notice, Liz tugs on said drawer - one that Kirito himself had broken a while ago in an unfortunate accident and never got fixed - and it moves, sliding across the rail. Liz slowly tugs on it a little more, scooting back as the drawer in question pops out of the desk and slides to the floor with a slight thud.
. . . oh, so there's where all those offending magazines are. But why-- ]
Honestly, Kirito-kun... you're too predictable, hiding them under the bed. If I wasn't concerned with keeping this secret, I'd have you thank me for finding you a better hiding spot for these things...
[ . . . well, THAT explains a lot. :| !!! ]
no subject
[But that's one thing for another time. Sinon nods along and goes over to the table...before promptly stepping away and turning to Liz as soon as she pulls open that drawer. (Sachi, having had her lens adjusted to accommodate for the rest of the room, makes note of it for later. And remembers Liz's little potshot at Kirito's inability to hide things well, because that isn't incriminating at all... :|) Okay, if she had to be honest? That was a new one. Didn't Kirito have a beef with that drawer a few times when she was around? He seemed just a bit miffed that it wouldn't open properly...
Wait, never mind that, why does this feel like something she'd have heard about--?]
So where did you get the idea to use this busted drawer to conceal these, again?
[She's sincerely curious now... :|;]
no subject
I was... actually here when the drawer was busted in the first place...
[ She unconsciously rubbed her knees - the ones she banged against this very computer table when that whole mess with Freddy Fazbear and his loving band of spooks - as she gestured vaguely in the direction of the now drawer-less space. ]
Things... things involving certain animatronics that will not be named happened that left all of us scarred and this poor table taking the worst of it... actually, I think there's still a couple splinters from that mess in the space... as well as some salt from when we tried to exorcise the computer...
[ Shuddering again as she reaches in and grabs the magazines, she lays them out on the floor next to Sinon as she just sighs. ]
Yeah, just... all of the mental scarring happened...
Either way, the important thing is that I was here when the drawer was broken and when I found these a while back, I figured I'd hide them here because I doubt Kirito-kun would want to deal with the reminder of that whole mess.
no subject
...Wait a minute. So this was--
[She immediately stops herself before she finishes that thought. So THIS is where the initial Freddy Fazbear screwball happened -- and it was behind her back, too... Well, of all the luck. Now she kind of regrets asking about it...especially since SHE'S feeling the reminder of certain events that led to them becoming animatronics... :|!!!!!]
Why does that stupid mascot exist again...?
[That's all she has to say on thatmatter, as she peeks over and has a look at those unmentionables...
Sachi, meanwhile, is just hanging her head at all that. Sob. She can't help but try to imagine what Kirito must have felt when that happened... /)_(\ Though she does get snapped out of that by a certain child beginning to stir.
Aw, crap.]
Papa...? Mama? Is that--
[Nope. Before she can babble anymore, she just straight up goes--]
Shhhhhhhhh!
[Sure enough...Sinon perks up at that moment of noise. Welp, crap. Sachi starts praying RIGHT at that moment.
Don't notice, don't notice, don't notice...!]
