Nicholi was standing in the back of the square, where few would notice him and he could notice everything.  As he stood there, likely looking like some being of unholy intent with his extreme stature and skull mask on, he was approached by a smaller masked man, his mask resembling a hockey mask.<br/>"So Reaper, what do you think will happen today.  I kept having nightmares of the first day in SAO, but considering how the new consoles are designed to make frying our brains possible, I was able to get on.  Same thoughts?"  The man glanced over at the imposing figure named Reaper, and the skull masked man responded in a thick Russian accent.<br/>"I do not know what happen today, Boxer, but whatever it may be, I bet it will be grand."<br/><br/>The Reaper looked over to his left, nodding as yet another masked man, his resembling a welding mask, approached.<br/>"Good morning, Blacksmith," Reaper said, "any grand creations to show today?"<br/>The Blacksmith opened his menu, and summoned a scythe.  It looked like a rather large scythe head with a equally large sword stuck through it in place of the usual staff.  It looked just like the original.<br/>"I've been working hard to replicate the Blood Reaper I created in the first game, and this is the closest one so far.  It's lighter and weaker, to accommodate your lower level and stats, but overall it should feel and handle the same, and it is still a very fine weapon."  Handing the weapon to Reaper, Nicholi gave a rather shaken breath before grabbing the weapon.  It felt so familiar in his hands.<br/>"Thank you friend, I will remember this."  Sheathing the weapon, Nicholi emptied his materials inventory to The Blacksmith, just like they did every time they met.<br/><br/>Turning back to the square, Reaper looked up to the sky and smiled under his mask.<br/>"The show begins soon."
