Fear. Panic. Desperation to NOT die lend you speed.

Heart a pounding, you find yourself somehow standing before the door, pushing desperately at it. It is strange how you can't recall the flickering moment it took for you to cross the room, just that you did move as you needed to.

Pushing did nothing.

Nor did pounding upon the door and weeping, begging to be let out.

Collapsing to your knees, you could only weep helplessly as you rested your head against the cold metal door.

Which was when you heard the mew and you found Mister Kitty licking your hand, as if to encourage you. Even if you were trapped in this room, you still had him.

You could remember how the door had just swung away from you and the others had wal.... oh.

It couldn't be that simple, could it?

You wiped away the burning tears in your eyes with one hand and stood up. You could do this.

Eyes burning with unshed tears, you wouldn't cry, you placed your hands upon the metal ring on the door and pulled.

The door didn't shift.

Not now. No more tears. You would be strong, like he was.

You leaned away from the door, and added your weight to the momentum... and as you did so, you could feel that sensation as your body glittered with a familiar hue of amber yellow that waft off your body. You knew this... this was <<system assist>>.

And slowly with groaning sound of metal, and door opened... darkness and cold air flowed out from the gap with mist.

There was a flicker of crimson light and you found yourself not where you expected to be.

A field of crimson, leaves your mind absently noted, and from which black trees rose out of. And upon those trees, more leaves of crimson.

There was a solemn silence here in this wood.

Behind you, stood that metal door from which crimson light shone around its edges. No walls, nor doors could you see. But here and there in the distant mist, you noted, there were flickers of light.

Signs of civilization, perhaps.

There was a mew from beneath crimson leaves and a nudging of a cat's head against your leg. It appeared that Mister Kitty didn't like being trapped beneath the leaves.

Without a thought, you pick him up and placed him on your shoulder as held your spear at the ready.

Sachi Perception - 4d10 → [2,7,7,7] = 3 suxx

Looking about, you can see that the woods appeared to be empty and silent.

Worryingly so, in fact. No movement beyond that of the leaves now and then rustling in the wind. The lights stayed still. There was no cry of animals.

Even ins Aincrad, there was some kind of sound or evidence of things here and there. For the sake of realism, there was background noise. Even if it was the sound of rustling grass.

Here, there was absolute silence beyond Mister Kitty on your shoulder and the sound of you walking.

As far as you could determine, there was... well, there wasn't any danger. Or at least any <<mobs>>. It was true that your perceptive skills might not be as great as Kirito or any of the front line clearers, but you had to trust in what you had.

And thus, after looking about, you rest your spear against a tree.

The act of gentle stroking the fur of Mister Kitty was... well, it was comforting. It felt nice. and normal. You could close your eyes and it felt all the better as if you were back in the real world.

Where things made sense, and you could just be you. The purring certainly helped in calming you down. Which was produced by you petting and stroking Mister Kitty.

An eternity later, you placed him back on your shoulder. He wasn't happy about the end of the pats and stroking. But he didn't seem too eager to jump off your shoulder either, and just lay there.

Still, with your spear in hand, you continued away from the door.

No sounds of animals, nor any evidence of previous travelers in the forms of trails were found.

Looking behind you, you could see that you were leaving a clear trail from the door. But you forged onwards.

Eventually after an eternity of crunching leaves beneath your feet, you found yourself standing before one of the sources of light in the mist.

A window.

One that looked out into the outside. You can see the other buildings from the window. The only problem was that you hadn't gone down as far as you would have thought the view from the window showed you.

Looking about, you could see that the window could be opened from the inside, and there was a ledge you could walk on outside with a perilious drop if you made a mistake.

The other curious thing was that there was no hint of the storm winds you heard earlier. Had it died down? Or had an untold time passed?

Sacchi Event - 1d100 → [23]

Looking back, you can sort of see the door. But that was more due to the red glow in the mist than distance than anything else. Looking about you're not too sure about how far you are from the other sources of light...

But, you could guess that they were easily less than a hundred meters away from you based on their relative sizes if they were all windows like this one.

Which brought you up to this window which you were looking out. Walking around it... gave you a headache. No, honestly, it did. What kind of stupid game physics or even real physics would allow such a thing?

From one surface, you could see "out" the window. It had a ledge, sill and everything, including window locks to prevent it from being opened from the outside or accidental opening from the inside if you leaned against it.

Stepping to the side, you could see it simply float in thin air.

It was when you stepped behind it that you realize that things weren't quite right. For one, there was a decided lack of window or anything there.

A faint shimmer in the air as of a heat wave, but there was nothing else to indicate that the window existed at all.

Walking around it, you could see it once more.

You could try to see what happened if something pushed pass the heat wave, you supposed. But was that a good thing?

Sachi Event - 1d100=69

Looking out the window, you had the impression that it wasn't quite right.

For one, there was no movement outside or any sign of damage from the fierce windstorm that you heard roaring and raging earlier at the door.

Perhaps it was painted on the outside? You gave up that notion as you peered here and there. Nope, it appeared to be what it was, a window and one which looked out into the city that the building you were in was a part of.

Which thought up an interesting question, were all the lights like this? Windows outside? If so... the placement didn't quite make sense. Not with what you could interfer of their locations.

Not unless they were scattered about and didn't have a true one on one connection to the windows outside. Which might make going out and then nipping back in a chancy proposition.

That didn't mean you couldn't go and search for another "light".

With mister kitty in hand, you did so!

Across an eerie silent and misty wood, you ventured. Spear at the ready. Cat upon the shoulder.

Eventually, you came across another window. This one facing in the opposite direction and looked out at what you remembered to be another building in the other direction. One of the ones with the spraypainted words.

Only... why was there a shadow cast upon the building as if something was blocking the light. Perhaps it was a rather thick cloud.
