"Feels like forever. That coding was from someone tampering with the game. I'm sure word spread like fire, but SAO had another mass glitch before it crashed. We're pretty sure whoever is tampering with this game is seeking out specific people. You won't be caught in the crossfire unless you find others with targets or travel with us. Derek and Garroth got caught in the second wave of SAO's glitch. As for horses, there's some at the stables if you have enough. If not, Windsoar Plains isn't too far."

"Stables,'' Konkoshi mutters checking his coin, "Yeah Windsoar Plains it is or maybe the mountain for a bat horse if I can't find a horse that both likes me and I like it.''
"Would you like to come with us,'' Akimi invites, "we're new around here and it'd be nice to catch up Kirito.''
Dachi nods once giving his concent.

"Sure, if the other two agree. Derek? Garroth?"
"I don't see why not. Just know that the target on our backs will cause trouble," Garroth cautions.
"Let's try not to expand the travel group after this, the less people we have with us the less people Glitch might decide to target just for being with us," Derek neutrally doesn't agree or disagree, further expanding on the fact that there was bound to he trouble.

"Can't be much worse than what we went through after floor 79 when Konkoshi had to save us from a player killer by killing the player and his icon turned orange. Players wanted revenge big time.''
"I missed the boss battle because of it,'' Konkoshi muttered, "yeah tried explaining only to get attacked worse.''
"Then we had to teleport of of there to our house which was surronded.''
"Let's go if we're going,'' Konkoshi walks towards Windsoar Plains.

"Sounds like they had a better handle on the first," Derek mutters.
"Keep in mind that the skill of the recent tormentors isn't something to dismiss," Garroth reminds.
"Only because the speed demon was cheating his speed... now, I don't know about you two, but I'd rather put that behind us as best as we can," Kirito follows, keeping pretty high guard.

(And I'm going to call it a night. Night)

(good night)

Akimi nods once keeping her guard up.
The other two did so naturally even though Dachi was more peaceful than Konkoshi.
"So who is targeting you anyways," Dachi asks hoping for information, "And who are you two anyways?"
