A freak accident waiting to happen.

[tensecondrule]

[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?

Eh? What'd you find, Sinonon?

[ Don't mind Liz as she shuffles over to Sinon as she peers at the pictures that have just fallen out of the magazine... Suguha joins her soon after, grabbing a picture and then balking when she realizes just what she's looking at. ]



Yeah, I wanna see- EEEEEEEEEEEEH!? W-wait, when did he get this picture-?!?! Klein-saaaaaaaaan!!!

SERIOUSLY! This is just wrong--! Besides, I hardly look my best in any of these! Why would you give them to Kirito-kun, they're so unflattering--?!



. . . really? That's what you're more concerned about, Liz-san...?

Well, aren't you, Suguha-chan? How offended would you be if someone gave a terrible picture of you to Kirito-kun?

LIZ-SAAAAAAAAAAN! T-that's not even relevant to this...!

[ At that Suguha turns a dull red and goes incredibly quiet, refusing to answer any more as she tries to will away the redness on her face. Poor Suguha...

Meanwhile, there's another set of footsteps approaching Kirito's room... could it be Kirito himself, perhaps? ]

[tensecondrule]

[.................................................

Sinon drives a palm into her forehead. To say the least of it? Liz's priorities are about as skewed as Kirito's preference for black. And swords. Can't forget swords...]

...I don't think I actually knew what I was expecting...

[Plucking out her pictures to keep as proof of Klein's tomfoolery, she settles onto the bed before looking to Sugu...]

Let's just beat him up on ALO later. As stupid as Kirito may be, Klein looks like he's trying to outdo him on that front...

[Meanwhile, in the corner of horrifically scarred AIs, Sachi's continued noping and Yui's mulling over what's going on are interrupted by the footsteps...]

Oh--! That must be Papa now...! I think...I can't say for sure...

[Nope, even a small chance that it's him is more than enough to have Sachi's breath catch in her throat. SANCTUARY AT LAST...!

Holding both her hands together in a vague prayer from behind the camera, she sends one wish to whatever powers that may be.

Please let that be Kirito; I'm not sure how much more of this I can take...!]

[beasttaming]

--rito-san? Ah... I'm coming in...!

[ You were expecting some idiot swordsderp? Too bad, it was just a cute beast tamer instead!

The door opens to reveal Silica, the girl behind the ALO beast tamer, looking around the room with a curious frown on her face - needless to say, it was empty. Whether or not it was a good or bad thing that she didn't notice that the cameras were on remains to be seen... ]

Oh... he's not here... and he wanted me to give this to him, too... now what?

[ "This" being some of her class notes from today since, like the derp that he was, Kirito had skipped one of his classes to work on some of the mechatronics projects for Sachi and Yui... sighing quietly, Silica ends up flopping onto his bed with a sigh. ]

Mmmmn... I guess I can wait for him to come back...?

[ And quiet possibly take in his room in the process. Silica sits up, taking a few moments to look around - it was surprisingly really tidy for a guy's room! There's a soft giggle as she flops back down and rolls around in his bed a bit - it was really comfy, too! Ah, it would be nice to share in a nap with him right now, wouldn't it...?

. . . then she starts realizing that she's all by herself in Kirito's room, and it doesn't take her long to suddenly break out into a blush, letting out a small squeak as she covered her cheeks. ]

A-ah, wait, this is bad! W-what am I doing--!? I-I'll just leave the notes at his desk and-- EEEEH?!

[ . . . w-whoops. Guess who found the porn stash. Silica yelps, just... staring at the offending magazines with a mixture of disgust, shock, and... is that curiosity? Sachi and Yui are definitely gonna notice the girl hesitating as she looks at the magazines again... ]

S-so even Kirito-san has something like this... e-even though he has Asuna-san, and yet... does he... really like this...?

[ . . . well, she did like Kirito, after all, and she was curious about what he liked, too... there's a nervous laugh from her a sshe soon sits down and opens one of the magazines - the one with all the girls with nekomimi... ]

O-one can't hurt, right? Just... one... a-ah, maybe he'd notice me if I wore something like this...?

[ . . . welp, there goes ANOTHER first impression that Sachi had of one of Kirito's friends... ]

[tensecondrule]

[. . .

How was she supposed to react to this? Was she supposed to react to this? And if she was, what was she even supposed to react to? There were just so many things wrong with this entire picture that she couldn't even think of where to start, and there was something dreadful about the mere act of just thinking about it that she fails--no, maybe even refuses subconsciously--to piece together. Her mind was short circuiting, and fast, and her prayers keep falling on deaf ears...

Suffice to say, there's nothing remotely okay about Sachi at this time.

Yui, on the other hand, is just staring at Silica and what she's doing like there's nothing wrong -- precocious, naive child that she is... at least, until Sachi finally makes a sound...]

Ah... why did it have to be like this...?

Eh? What's wrong...?

N--Nothing...! I'm sure Kirito will be back soon...! [All she can do at this point is reassure Yui and deflect the questions she's posed with... not that it's doing much good for the child she's made impromptu friends with, or even herself, for that matter. The other AI makes a noise of worry that comes out only just a little louder than intended; it's probably enough to make poor Silica jump a little if she hears it...]

[beasttaming]

[ Silica gets a little too absorbed into looking at the contents of the porn stash as a brilliant blush formed on her face - this was a little too much, but... did Kirito really like this?

She's snapped out of it when Yui makes a noise - squeaking loudly as she hurriedly slaps the book closed, looking around in a panic before she relaxes... ]

A-ah... n-no one's here... I think...

[ Her blush returns as she slowly peels open the pages again, eventually opening her eyes and staring again as she gulps, tugging at her collar. Goodness, why was she getting so bothered over this? It was just normal for boys to have this, right? And yet, it's still so strange actually seeing this in Kirito's room than hearing about it... ]

. . . ah, so many pictures of nekomimi... if Kirito-san likes this, maybe I should emphasize my cat ears a little more in ALO...?

Though I think it'd be too much for me if I tried to dress like this... I don't even have the chest for it like Liz-san, Lyfa-san or even Asuna-san do...

[ FIRST WORLD LOLI PROBLEMS...

Poor Sachi, though. . . how is she and Yui are gonna react to this... ]

[tensecondrule]

[If silence was visible, then there would most certainly be a dense, unwavering fog hovering over Sachi's camera right about now. It's like everything is conspiring against her sanity, she swears... To her dismay, though, she can't just shut her lenses and pretend no one's there; she has to see her duties as someone watching over Kirito's room through. Thus, she's forced to chronicle the adventures of people raiding his room for unmentionables...

Yui, on the other hand, remains quizzical and curious... what was so important about the chest, anyway? Why did it matter so much to Silica? So many questions that she still can't get answers to...!]



--the point of keeping all of it if you're going to just take out what you need, anyway? Couldn't you just trash the rest of those magazines?

[Uhp--well, then, there's that. As if there wasn't enough cause for Sachi to panic, there's one of the girls that'd set off for Sugu's room... It'd be a huge understatement to say the poor girl isn't exactly having fun here.

Yui turns her camera in Sachi's general direction.]

Take out... what, exactly?

C--Can I get back to you on that later!? [WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY IS THIS A THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING...]

[beasttaming]

[ So much for this being an unexciting venture... one supposes that Sachi should be glad that she hasn't seen Asuna herself bumbling about Kirito's room looking for the stash. That would have made things a whole new level of awkward right there. Then again, Asuna's definitely not the type to really bumble about unlike the rest of their friends...

Speaking of, though... that sure sounds like Liz and the others leaving Sugu's room for now - and another voice that's clearly dismayed as Sachi hears the door close. It sounds like they have something else in their possession that isn't le unmentionable bits... ]



--no way for me to do that without being noticed! Seriously, it's rare that any of us is home alone, much less myself! Onii-chan in particular does nothing but gaming and tinkering with his mechatronics projects when he's not at school or out with Asuna-san...

Plus, you saw how many that he has, right? It's kinda hard keeping track of all of them...



One of the few times that a RL inventory system would be so useful right now...



But an entire inventory screen for porn, though?



I never said it had to be for porn only! Seriously, weren't you even listening?! Look, I was just saying, that an inventory screen would be useful since we could use it to sort out every-- Silica-chan?

[ During their conversation Liz had casually thrown open the door to Kirito's room again, this time holding a bundle under her arm that definitely didn't look like anything that was out of Kirito's stash - Silica squeaks, yelping in surprise as she quickly hides the nekomimi moe magazine behind her back and sitting on it before she responds to Liz. ]

L-Liz-san! W-what are you all doing here...? I-I'm just here to, er. Deliver some class notes to him! And I'm just shocked that he has, well... these!

[ . . .

Either Liz noticed Silica's horrendous attempt as lying, and chooses not to say anything, or she actually doesn't notice at all... the former's more likely considering her satisfactory yet conniving grin, but she opts to instead change her focus to something else - the package under her arm as she nods. ]



You think that's bad, you should check out what Suguha-chan's got in her underwear drawer!



Hey, I never said that you could show her!? What exactly are you trying to pull!

[ Of course, Liz doesn't say anything and instead lets the package do the talking as she unfurls it-- WOW SUGUHA... WHERE DID YOU EVEN GET THAT UNDERWEAR FROM, EVEN...

Needless to say, even before Silica can let out a scandalized squeak, Liz then decides to make it even worse... ]



Seriously, between this and what we found in Kirito-kun's stash it's definitely giving me ideas!
