![]() ![]() Megumi: Pancake, chew your food! (-.-); + A young girl watches her four kittens devour their lunch. Pancake was the smallest of the bunch, still in her fuzz-ball stage. Megumi: Pancake! Pancake: Mew! Megumi: Pon, no! STOP BITING HER! + Pon ignores her. He sticks his tail out and walks away, snobbishly. Megumi's cousin busts through the door, holding a disc. Megumi: What's that? Shoji: It's a new online RPG for us to play. + Shoji's lips curve into a wide grin. He hands her the disc, and Megumi accepts out of curiousity. Megumi: Miwaku Online? Is it any good? Shoji: See for yourself! I already made a character. + Megumi inserts the disc into her hard drive. It loads up and she clicks install. The game loads up instantly. Megumi: Woah, What the? Shoji: It loads instantly! Neat, huh? Game Voice: CHOOSE A NAME. Megumi: Name...? Uh..... Shoji: Make it one you won't regret. There's no going back. + Megumi pauses briefly, then types away. Game Voice: Star*Lite. CREATE YOUR CHARACTER CLASS. Megumi: So many choices... Mage... Thief... Dancer... Ninja... + She scrolls down, searching for the classification that best suit her. Game Voice: HEALER. CUSTOMIZE YOUR CHARACTER. Shoji: Noooo, don't pick healer! Healers are useless. Megumi: But I like it... and it's too late, anyway. + Shoji sighs. Megumi stares intensly at the screen, finishing the final steps. She clicks FINISH. Upbeat RPG music echos through her speakers. The screen goes black for half a second, and Megumi's character warps at the City of Mollyia. Shoji: This is the most known city, where all the newbies begin. You got your standard weapons, shields, and health items. Try adding me to your party. I'm YingYang. I'm going to my room to log on. See you inside! Megumi: Okie doke! Hehe. + Megumi was already engulfed into the game. A few minutes later, YingYang logs on. He accepts Star*Lite's party request. YingYang Star, Do you see me? + YingYang moves back and forth, trying to catch her attention. Megumi noticed he was the only other character with an HP and MP bar above them, so she spotted him right away. Star*Lite: I see you. What do I do? YingYang: Follow me closely. Don't get lost in the massive crowd of newbs. Sometimes they make the game lag. + Star*Lite follows closely as YingYang makes way to the items shop. The cheerful music of Mollyia continues to play. There was people chatting, trading, and buying goods. There was even a dancer in their mist. The shop was packed. Star*Lite I'm lagging! Too many people in one place! YingYang Don't worry, I'll help you out. + He buys some basic goods such as potions, ethers, and a few antidotes, and starts a trade with Star*Lite. They continue their journey through the mini shops, stocking up on whatever a Lvl 1 could equipt. Finally, they make their way to the exit portal. The portal that leads to the first battle zone. They warp, making the music transform from cheery to intense. YingYang You're no longer safe here, so Beware. However, the monsters here are pretty simple. They're Mage Skeletons, so you can use your Holy. + Three Mage Skeletons rise from the ground. Star*Lite takes two down with her Holy and YingYang casts Fire on the remaining monsters. A female merchant approaches them with eager eyes. Reo88 Would you like to buy some items? I have one of a kind treasures~♫ YingYang We're kind of low on funds. We're new. Reo88 Ooohhh, I seeee. I've got just the thing! I've got a 'shark' with mysterious qualities. Only 500 points. Star*Lite You mean like a cheat code? We're not interested. YingYang What does it do? Star*Lite Hey! Reo88 It's an Unkown. Heh, heh. YingYang Unkown? Reo88 A shark so powerful, it's description remains 'Unkown'. YingYang We'll take it! Reo88 A wise choice. Heh, heh. Now you can be higher then all the newbs. YingYang What about the experts? Reo88 Heh, heh. + With that, she warps into her conjured time portal. Star*Lite That was all your points! Now you have nothing! YingYang Relax, I can get it back. An all-powerful shark? It's gotta be wicked! Star*Lite But you don't even know what it does! Sharks are for cheaters. It could be a virus, you know... YingYang Since when did you become an expert? If it's like infinant life or something, I'll just sell it to someone, okay? Star*Lite *Siiighhh* Fiiine... YingYang Here we go! + Shoji double clicks on a small icon in his Special Items inventory. Star*Lite's and YingYang's pixels begin fading in and out of the screen. Star*Lite What's happening to our characters??? YingYang I-I'm not sure! + Megumi's and Shoji's bodes become lifeless. Star*Lite and YingYang black out. Star*Lite slowly opens her eyelids, and then YingYang. She could faintly hear the cheers of a very large crowd. They quickly come to their senses. Spokesmen What's this?? To more players have entered the arena! MOUSE♥ Two more?! No matter. I'll hack you both up! + The crowd goes wild with excitement. Megumi and Shoji found themselves INSIDE Miwaku. The audience was gigantic. The seats were at least 10ft taller than the arena. Clear walls towered at least 10ft around them, protecting the audience. In the very center of the crowd was two females and a male in the middle, sitting on a very expensive looking chair. He rises. Ais What is the meaning of this??? + He stares sharply at Star*Lite and YingYang. MOUSE♥ Don't worry, sir. They're just a couple of newbs. I don't mind putting them in their place! Ais This is against the RULES. Are you two prepared to face severe consequences? YingYang What?! What did WE do?! Where are we?! MOUSE♥ The Battle Arena, silly. You warped into the middle of my PvP match! I'm winning! =D Well, I would have already won if you two didn't show up. YingYang What?! We didn't warp here! I don't even know how we GOT here!! >_< MOUSE♥ Calm down, newbie. It happends. ~Aeryis~ Only some sort of shark would allow a player to just waltz in on a PvP tournament. ~Arelyn~ Give us one good reason why you shouldn't be banned from Miwaku forever? MOUSE♥ These are good people! I can teach 'em right from wrong! Promise! Star*Lite You act as though we've me before. ^^; MOUSE♥ Shhh, I'm trying to save your butts. |
