Please buck canon here with the not working item.

I don't think my void could take it.

IIRC, canon doesn't actually say whether or not it works. Just that it has a time limit, which makes it essentially useless for what Kirito wants to do with it.

Argo having a guild and Kirito working for her is really off the rails though.

I don't think Argo was ever a guild leader in canon.

You just don't like, get it, man. It's not off the rails enough! He's just taking it from like, one set of rails to like, the other, man! That's not hardcore enough! No, we gotta like, do something extreme, something edgy and new. We gotta make this train airborne, man! We gotta weld on a pair of wings and make this train fly the fuck off the tracks! We'll call it a plane train and the only rails we'll have are the rails in our own minds man!

You gotta believe!

It makes sense, though. Argo seemed to have her finger on the pulse of society and gather massive amounts of disparate information in canon. This just gives her a plausible way to do it, particularly given the wide-open sandbox nature of of this Aincrad as opposed to the series of self-contained floors in canon.
 
This is going interesting places. I wonder what the revival item will be like this time.

Also, it still sucks to be Kirito.

I want to believe. :p :V

However, being familiar with the... source material only via Shockz's Let's Watch ensures that I don't complain about "stations of the canon". I'm still not sure about what people expect from "rebuilds".

I started rambling, I guess.

It worked but it was like 'If somebody dies, use this within sixty seconds'. Considering that Kirito's friend died like a while ago via having her brain fried by the NervGear, its really hard to have an in game item rehook her body up to the system and reconstruct her brain.

He gave the item to Klein IIRC.

Yeah, but it's never said whether or not it ever actually gets used so it's unclear on if the item functions or if that's just a left over tooltip from before Kayaba turned off respawns.
 
I wonder how Argo would react to learning that Scout asked Kirito to slaughter some dudes for interrupting his sales pitch.

I'd like to think she'd be pissed. Even if it was only meant as a bluff, I'd like to think Argo is concerned with how badly Kirito's reputation already is.
 
This was nice. I keep forgetting this SAO is sandboxed instead of the canon 100 floors...
 
Here's a horrifying thought. Suppose... it's a revival item. It works. He revives Sachi... but how long has she been in limbo?

You know, I really think people are overestimating the SAN-loss effects of sensory-deprivation limbo. I mean I'm not saying there won't be any negative effects; in fact, from the research on sensory deprivation that's been done, they could be quite severe. I just don't think it would lead to permanent, irrecoverable insanity; perhaps a month or two for the brain to get used to the idea that it's receiving normal input again. And yes, sensory deprivation has been used for torture, but almost always in combination with other factors used to put stress on the subject, which presumably aren't a factor here unless Kayaba is much more sadistic than he seems to be.
 
I'd think the issue with this from a meta perspective is that I'm fairly certain we have never been able to prevent someone from having any sensory input, for any length of time. However you play it is going to be conjecture, and as a result there's probably always going to be a decent amount of people who see it and think "That's not how it would work," or something to that effect.
