[glow=white,3,300]White sparkles swirled around Kitsune as he appeared in front of the Chaos Gate in Mac Anu. Immediately after the area had loaded, he went bug-eyed. The place was so colorful and vibrant, it was hard to believe it was merely virtual. Dozens of other player characters were going about their business, stopping at one of the stalls along the wide river to shop or just chatting it up with their friends.
"Whoa..." breathed Kitsune as he took it all in, earning himself a look and a muttered "noob" from a passing Heavy Blade. Embarrassed, he looked down and suddenly noticed what he looked like. Despite having designed the character beforehand, it was still a shock to be standing there as that character. Kitsune glanced at the spear he was grasping in his left hand, squinting at the white rune engraved in its handle. "So this is... my weapon?" he mumbled, hefting the weapon curiously. It was a strange feeling: he had no real life knowledge of how to use a spear, or any weapon for that matter, yet here in The World he held it acceptably and somehow knew that he'd be able to fight with it. Maybe not particularly well at first, but he wouldn't kill himself, at least.
"Dude," commented a young Wavemaster who had walked up to the Chaos Gate, "is this, like, your first game ever or something? You look so helpless."
"Hey, we were all new once, weren't we?" Kitsune said, frowning. The Wavemaster just laughed and disappeared into the Gate. He sighed, wondering what he should do next.[/glow]
((In case any of you feel like murdering me right now, don't worry, I doubt all my posts will be this long. XD))

[glow=black,2,300]"Hm, but you two can still leave the game though, right? I can't even seem to get out at all. I can't go to standby or anything. It's like I'm stuck in The World. I need to do some thinking. I'm going to Dying Destroyer's Sunny Demon. If any of you want to come, I'll be waiting at the first floor of the dungeon."
Suu-chi went to the Chaos Gate and warped to the area he mentioned earlier.[/glow]

::Tsuki refrains from Standby Mode::
[glow=green,2,300]"W007! I thought my computer wasn't gonna last anymore. Darn and old..." Tsuki looked around. "Ha! I'm going to be random today!" Tsuki skips and whistles her way to the Chaos Gate. [/glow]

[glow=white,3,300] Kitsune realized, after spending a few minutes getting his bearings, that he was actually fairly tired. It was probably getting late; he never was good at keeping track of time. "Maybe I'll just take a look at some of these shops, then log off for the night," he said to himself, walking over the bridge in the center of the town.
He stopped in front of the weapons shop and had begun to take a look at the wide, and somewhat frightening array of blades arranged there, when a small group of players walked by him, chatting loudly. Kitsune blinked in surprise as he heard a few snippets of their conversation:
"...and Maki can't log out either, she told me. What the heck is going on?" "I know, seriously! My friend left her character standing by the Chaos Gate all night, and she came back the next day to all these party invites... it's so annoying." "What kind of a bug makes you unable to log out anyway? Are the game makers that desperate for money...?"
Startled, Kitsune accessed his options menu - sure enough, he was unable to log out. "What...?" he muttered. "Well, I guess I can just... stand here or something..." He sat down next to the weapons stall and put his head down. Maybe people wouldn't bother him if he didn't look ready to talk? [/glow]
Takashi lifted the visor off his head, blinking in the sudden light of his room. Shrugging, he placed the equipment on his desk and started to get ready for bed, the background music of The World still faintly audible through the discarded earphones.

"Hey wait up Tsuki is it??" KisaKan quickly followed Tsuki hearing chatting of people not being able to log out and a boy in the cornor of her eye with his head down in an odd way...She quickly turned back to Tsuki. "Hey Tsuki! Don't you need my member address??" She then notices that Tsuki totally disappeared. "naah??" Her character looked totally confused. "well I didn't catch where she went so what now?" she looked around....she sighed, she was such a noob. "Maybe I should have read a manual on this or something..." Wait wasn't she supposs to meet up with another person who told her about this game?? That right...what was his name?? Then a little mail icon binked on top of her head. "Bonk" "keya??"......."oh its my friend! I tell him where I am!"a few minutes later...(sorry this is so long! Moving the story along) "Hey I've been looking for you.""Eep!" she turns around. "oh its you friend!" "Please its Balmung Thank you very much.""ooh sorry"More coming soon *laughs*

"oh okay!" she called him. she then went up to the chaos gate. "um where to?" "Bursting, Passed Over, Aqua Field. That is usually where orca takes his newbies." "okee dokee!" she put in the keywords (of course after she saved and all) Balmung smacked his head as she entered the word. Log in to BURSTING, PASSED OVER, AQUA FIELD

[glow=black,2,300]:: Mac Anu ::
"Hm, Tsuki left. I know, I'll check the Chaos Gate's warp history to see where she went."
Suu-chi walked to the Chaos Gate and opened up the options window and selected 'warp history.' As he was looking over the list, Tsuki warped back to Mac Anu after clearing a field of magic portalls. Suu-chi waved at her to get her attention.[/glow]

[glow=black,2,300]Logs In "Hey, this is pretty cool. I can't belive how real it looks." He walks around for a bit, buys some items and then goes to Chaos Gate and enters 'Bursting Passed Over Aqua Field' and logs out of Mac Anu. [/glow]

Kisa stumbles back in to mac anu. People look at her strange as she lands on her face instead of how usual people come back in. "ugh..." she gets back up wiping dust off her knees. "um well that was quite unusual." her character showed her thinking a bit. "why did it go all fuzzy then just push me out. There must be something there they don't want me to see, or maybe it was a fluke..." kisa walked down and leaned on the bridge looking out at the water. "I still can't log out either...maybe somebody knows something." she still stood there pondering.

[glow=white,3,300]Kitsune stood up as he logged back in, finding no chat or party requests waiting for him. "I probably look like a total noob, no wonder no one's talking to me. Hmm... speaking of being new, maybe I should actually check out a dungeon at some point this century, huh?"
With that, he began to cross the bridge, intent on reaching the Chaos Gate he could see in the distance. Before he got there, though, out of the corner of his eye he spotted a lone Wavemaster looking out across the river, seemingly lost in thought. It was an odd sight among all the other characters rushing to and fro. "Maybe she's new like I am?" he wondered.
Kitsune hadn't planned to actually walk over to the Wavemaster, but suddenly he found himself next to her. "Um, excuse me... you wouldn't happen to be a new player, would you?"[/glow]

[glow=black,2,300]"Hm, I guess she's in stand-by mode again. Maybe I should just leave her alone for now." Suu-chi put his hand down and looked at his feet. He began to walk off when he saw the two players standing on the bridge talking. He noticed one of them was the person he had talked to before. He decoded to talk to them as he walked over to the bridge. "Um, hello there, Kisakan was it? I never got your member adress. Hey, if both of you aren't doing anything, we can join a party and go to a dungeon together if you want."[/glow]

[glow=black,2,300]Ichigo logs back into Mac Anu and walks to the Item shop and buys a bunch of Health Drinks and some Antidotes just in case. As he is going back to the Chaos Gate he sees a friend from the real world, Kisa-kan, stand on the bridge. But there are a bunch of other people talking to her so he dosen't bother going to talk to her and goes back to the Chaos Gate. He enters the keyword BURSTING, PASSED OVER, AQUA FIELD and returns to the area he just left.[/glow]

"um hi?? who are you??" she says to kitsune next to her and then she sees suu-chi asking her to join a party. "um okay but uh you want to come to cause yes I am new." she says to kitsune "Will it be okay if he comes along too Suu-chi??"she couldn't believe how people are starting to come to her and ask her to join their party. It made her feel good inside and her character grinned at that moment, but then it changed to a little puzzled for she saw a heavy blader with orange hair look like he was going to come up and talk to her but then he left. She wondered what was up with him? and why he looked a little familiar. "yeah suu-chi I would love to join and can we go to BURSTING, PASSED OVER, AQUA FIELD? I went there and was pushed out by a random figure, I was wondering if you could know something about this. Oh yeah here is my member address."she gave Suu-chi her member address then turned and asked kitsune "would you like my member address too??"

[glow=white,3,300]"Sure, I'd like your member address," Kitsune said to Kisa. "Heh, I'm sorry if I bothered you... I just started this game and don't know anyone yet.
"So what's this 'random figure' you mentioned?" he asked, looking at the other two. "Is it a boss?"[/glow]

[glow=black,2,300]"Hm, might it have been a girl? I saw her as well, in a different area. The area itself was starnge, it was like a big church, with much better graphics than anywhere else. Ah, some other stuff happened, but then a strong monster appeared, surrounded in green. It attacked me and, well, then she appeared and I was forced to log out. I logged back in right away to find myself in Mac Anu, then, I was unable to log out anymore. Not just that, I can't seem to stop playing, I can't leave or go in stand-by or anything...other people are having troubles logging out, but they can still leave the game... Well, anyway lets go." Suu-chi gave his member adress to both players, then he began walking to the chaos gate when he got an E-mail.
"Hm, it seems my old friend is here... Hey, is it ok with you if he comes along? I'll call him over, hang on."
Calling Party Member, Please Stand By[/glow]
