The fan blades above her head beat a steady rhythm, the slightest of breezes reaching Eloise as she sat in a curled bundle in the cushions of her favorite chair. Head resting on its back lazily, she stared at the blades mindlessly, relishing the adrenaline that already pumped through her system. In her hands rested her nerve gear, fingers curled around it impatiently as she first tried to calm her nerves. She had been so anxious about getting back into the game that she felt as if she'd burst if she didn't let herself at least try to cool down beforehand. This all for no avail. Sword Art Online was only a few words away, and she couldn't take the waiting-- not with a whole world to finish exploring resting in her fingertips.
