s2e10x2

"Sleeping Knights" guild?

color-coded for our convenience

red one, Nori (dark), Tal (shy guy), Siune (blue), Tecchi (other guy), Yuuki (Zekken)

yeah I'm not gonna remember them

they want to defeat boss with only their members, so they're trying to recruit Asuna?

is this arc *only* Asuna? huh

Jun! now that I'm paying attention to the OP

and most of them seem pretty young

boss raids are normally 7x7, so 49 people

they already tried floors 25/26 bosses

while they were working on their strategy, another big guild beat them to it

they met together in another game?

can only play together until spring, want to make a memory of it

names recorded in Monument of Swordsmen in floor 1 town for beating a boss

if single party, all player names get inscribed, if multiple parties then only leaders' names

max 7 per party, so they wanted one more to join

Asuna declines payment, only wants a boss item in theory

different from old Aincrad, but she was still thinking of safety margins and playing it safe

Asuna inquiring about her duel with Kirito

"he just wasn't the right person".. found out what her secret is

what he said about her being fully integrated and all?

mmmaaayyyybe Yuuki's an AI?

asuna wandering around town, then..

disconnected!

mom not happy, late again

will confiscate device if she shirks responsibilities again because of it

Asuna wandering outside.. brings up phone but doesn't call Kirito

Jun and Tecchi in front, Asuna as rear guard, other tactics too

clearing their way to the boss, she's not doing much so far

labyrinth like on 74th floor of old SAO

other players hiding out there, unfriendlies

they haven't PvPd before, Siune excited

other group was hiding and waiting for friends, didn't want to get targeted by mobs..

seem suspicious still, but they walk on past anyway

learning session, don't waste expensive recovery stuff

even if they die, don't depart right away, watch boss patterns

all good tactics

flames! rings of fire

ettin, basically? two giant mauls

aaand they wiped

Asuna immediately gathers them, mentions the others waiting were scouting for others going to fight bosses

using their earlier attempts, figure out boss patterns and such

door was closed?

familiar was in the room with them, attached to their sight, dark magic

other guild watched attack pattern from there

2:30 IRL, should take even big guild time to round up enough for a raid

they're gonna get back by 3.. and wanna bet Asuna gets disconnected in the middle of it?

nope, big group already waiting, only about 20 people so far though

Asuna asks to come through, guy tells her it's off-limits until they go in.. an hour or so

Yuuki challenges him to a fight

got after him pretty quickly

"sometimes you have to fight to get the point across"

Asuna recalling her mom there

pulls out her sword too

bunch of reinforcements coming

Yuuki liked seeing ASuna's smile

Kirito running in from behind the other group, tells them it's off-limits now
