Neko Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 [size=1][I]The day I entered "the World", my friend Kiara and I went off to a desert area, where we had heard lied the powerful Crimson Raid weapon could be found in the dungeon. Little did we know that this game would change our lives forever...[/I] [I]when we reached the bottom of the dungeon (it was tough...five floors), the game bugged out, and suddenly, a strange, horrible monster confronted us. It immediately directed it's attention towards Kiara, the system bugged out again, and she was gone... Stunned in horror, I could only look on as the powerful creature turned to face me. A small leaf fell from it's body, and as it hit the ground, a small, white number appeared over it: 15.[/I] [I]Seeing this timer, I was quickly torn from my awe. I knew for sure that if that if that counter reached 0, something terrible would surely happen. Yet the horrible monster was between me and the "leaf", and I was too frightened to try to get past it. So...[/I] I ran. [I]Not fast enough, I reached the door. Looking back, I saw a massive explosion heading straight for me. It was right there that I died.[/I] [I]I was too spooked to play again, so I decided to call up Kiara. I called her fifteen times, but she still wouldn't pick up the phone...and later, I found out that she had fallen into a coma.[/I] ------------------------------------------ -----=====Board Post=====----- ------------------------------------------ My name is Kia Tohama. I am 13 years old. And I need help. I know that thing put Kiara in her coma, but I can't fight it alone... my character is only at level 1. Won't someone please help me on my quest? Anyone willing to help, please meet me in Aqua Capital Mac Anu. Be looking for this character: [B]Name:[/B] Kia [B]Class:[/B] Twinblade [B]Level:[/B] 1 [B]Height:[/B] 4' 9" [B]Build:[/B] Slim [B]Skin Color[/B] Very Pale [B]Eyes:[/B] Pale Green [B]Main Element:[/B] Lightning (Rai) [B]Clothes:[/B] Subaru-style wings, short skirt (blue), short sleeve shirt (White) [B]Hair Color:[/B] Painful-to-look-at-Pink ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -----====="the World", Aqua Capital Mac Anu=====----- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Kia, looking out over the river from the bridge, waited for hours to see if someone would answer her plea on the post. Finally, she decided that no one was coming, and realized that she should probably do some training before the long journey ahead... Not particularly caring where she went, she entered a random keyword at the gate. Unfortunatly, she accidentally warped to a level 13 field. Of course she didn't realize this, as she was entirely new to "the World". As she approached a magic portal, chills ran down her spine: she had a feeling something horrible would arrive before her. Indeed, out emerged a Tetra Armor. "Bring it on!"she shouted. It wasn't even a battle. The Tetra Armor smashed Kia into the ground. Stunned from this initial attack, she looked up just in time to see that horrible spiked ball brutally crush her head back into the ground. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\GAME OVER/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Minutes later, Kia was standing on the bridge once again. Now begining to despair for her friend, she began to cry, praying that someone would answer her post on the board...[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDG Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 [color=navy][size=1]Kayla had read the post on the board. She hadn't took it too seriously but decided to check it out anyhow. She logged into "The World" and looked around the peaceful Root Town of Aqua Capital Mac Anu. She stood in front of the Chaos Gate for a few minutes just taking in the glory and wonder of the Root Town. She watched as other players ran around and bought, traded, and sold their items. She finally left the Chaos Gate and walked down the stone steps past the Recorder, past the steps to the Item Shop on her right, and past the steps to Elf's Haven on her left. She walked up the bridge to the very middle when she spotted the girl, Kia, from the description in her post, looking out over the water, crying. Kayla walked up to her. Kia looked up. "I came to find you after I read the post on the board. I am willing to help if what you said was true." Kayla said smiling at Kia. Kia wiped tears from her eyes. She slowly told the story of what happened to her friend and herself. Kayla frowned. "In all my time of playing this game, I've never heard of anything like that happening. It still sounds a little far-fetched but I will help you, Kia." she said and smiled. Kia smiled also. "Ok, thank you, um," Kayla laughed. "Right, sorry, my name's Kayla." Kia thanked her again. "So, what should we do next?" she asked. Kayla thought for a moment. "We should probably check the board. Someone might post something that might help us out." Kayla said after a few minutes thought. ----------------------------------------------------- OOC- Ok, I think this is a pretty good starting post. ^_^[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neko Posted January 11, 2004 Author Share Posted January 11, 2004 [size=1][i]Kia began to cry again, this time because she was so happy that someone had believed her. She had already done some asking around Mac Anu, but had mostly just recieved disapproving stares. After a few moments she agreed to Kayla's idea, and briefly checked the board.[/i] ------------------------------------------ -----=====Board Post=====----- ------------------------------------------ [b]Author:[/b]Quatro [b]Subject:[/b]Strange Castle I went off to a level 6 field, hoping to find some decent monsters, but all I could find was this huge castle. The inside looked a bit like a church, there was strange music playing, and in the center there was a big statue of a young girl. I couldn't see any monsters, though, so I decided to leave. I think the keywords were: Delta-Hidden-Forbidden-Holy Ground But I can pretty much guarantee that you'll think it pretty much blows. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -----====="The World", Aqua Capital Mac Anu=====----- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- [i]Kia logged back in, and met up with Kayla on the bridge. On her way, she couldn't help but admire the beautiful river, and the way it perfectly reflected the sun.[/i] "So, what did you find?"[i]asked Kayla.[/i] [i]Kia told Kayla about the mysterious castle, and asked whether or not they should go check it out.[/i][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDG Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 [color=navy][size=1]OOC- Heh, guess we're kind of starting out like in .hack//Infection. That's cool though. BTW, you're an awesome poster. ---------------------------------------------------------- IC- Kayla Nodded. "Yeah, we should definitely check it out. It sounds interesting." Kayla and Kia walked over the bridge, admiring the how the sun beautifully reflected off the water, past the shops and to the Chaos Gate. Kia input the keywords [b]Delta Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground[/b]. Kayla and Kia both disappeared in a whirl of golden light. They reappeared in the same golden light at [b]Delta Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground[/b]. "Wow, it's eery here." Kia said looking around. The castle ahead of them was dark and gloomy. It was casted in shadow and very creepy looking. Kayla started to walk toward the castle. Kia quickly ran to keep up. They both walked up the steps, hearing echos of every step as they stepped inside the castle. Kayla looked back at Kia who was following closely behind her. She looked terrified. Kayla understood why. She was just a Newbie, she hadn't expierienced as many things as Kayla had, to not be scared when going into an area such as this one. Suddenly, a goblin jumped out of nowhere. Kia jumped backwards and Kayla cast a spell on it. "Juk Rom!" a tornado of leaves surrounded the goblin. The leaves hit the goblin. It fell over and disappeared. Kia quickly ran up to Kayla incase there were any more monsters. She suddenly looked ahead. "Oh wow!" Kayla looked ahead also to see what Kia had seen. It was a statue of a beautiful young girl.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neko Posted January 11, 2004 Author Share Posted January 11, 2004 [size=1][i]Kia's heart was still pounding furiously. She cursed at herself under her breath for her cowardice against that little goblin. Then she saw the statue.[/i] [i]the statue, which explained the eerieness of the castle in it's mere presence there, was huge. There on the pedestal it stood, fifteen feet high! The statue depicted a girl, and yet, it seemed almost as if this girl was a ghost, for although the pedestal did, the girl cast no shadow upon the marble floor.[/i] [i]As Kia's pulse returned to normal, she suddenly realized that the music playing here was...sad. The voices calling to her seemed both near and far, and Kia heard children and angels, both.[/i] "Oh, look at this statue!"[i]Kia gasped,[/i]"It looks so...sad." "yes, and look at these chains that are bound to her!"[i]Exclaimed Kayla.[/i] [i]Kia was once again overwhelmed by emotions...unable to control herself, she walked slowly up to the pedestal. Kayla followed her closely. At the base of the pedestal was an inscription.[/i] [i]The first few lines were illegable. But then, as Kayla read:[/i] "Riding the Wave is: Skeith, the shadow of death, to drown all that stands. Mirage of deceit, Innis, betrayed all with the flawed image, and did aid the Wave, and by the power of magus, a drop from the Wave doth reach the heavens, and creates a new Wave. With that Wave, Fidchell, the power to tell the dark future. Hope darkens, misery and despair rule. Gorre schemes when consumed by the cursed Wave. Macha seduces with the sweet trap. Wave reaches pinnacle, and escape none can. Tarvos still remains with more cruelty to punish and destroy. After the turbulance that is the Wave, only a void remains, and from that void arrives Corbenic" [i]The rest is completely faded.[/i] "Oh, it's so sad!"[i]Breathed Kia.[/i] "Yeah...but what is it supposed to mean?"[i]pondered Kayla[/i] "I'm not sure, but...but this place is creeping me OUT!"[i]wailed Kia.[/i][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDG Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 [color=navy][size=1]Kayla and Kia slowly walked from the inside of the castle, there footsteps echoing through the great hall. They walked outside of the castle and looked at each. "Well, I guess we should Gate Out." Kayla said. Kia nodded and they both disappeared from the area in a golden swirl. Once back in Aqua Capital Mac Anu, they went to the Recorder. Kayla saved today's work and so did Kia. "Well, I think I'm going to Log Out. I've had enough adventure for today." Kia said good bye and logged out. Kayla watched other people trade trade, buy, and sell items for a little while. She soon grew tired and logged out to check the board. [b][u][i]The Board[/b][/u][/i] [i]Subject: Strange Ghostly Girl Author: Usagi I have seen this strange ghostly girl in an area I went to. Is she a secret in the game? Who is she? What is she? Has anyone else seen this strange girl? The area I saw her in was [b]Delta Hidden Expansive Sea of Sand[/b].[/i] Kayla decided to reply. [i]I have also seen a ghostly girl. I only saw a statue of her though. I know no more than you do about her though. I saw the statue of her at [b]Delta Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground[/b].[/i] She posted the reply and completely exited "The World".[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neko Posted January 11, 2004 Author Share Posted January 11, 2004 [size=1][i]The first thing that Kia did as she logged out was check the boards. She saw an interesting post about a ghostly girl. She noticed that Kayla had replied to the message, depicting the scene in Delta-Hidden-Forbidden-Holy Ground. Kia firmly told herself that she was never going back to that horribe place again. It creeped her out.[/i] ------------------------------------------ -----=====Real World=====----- ------------------------------------------ "Hey there, what's wrong?"[i]asked a passing boy, coming across Kia on the stairs to the museum.[/i] "Oh...I, um...it's nothing,"[i]she replied.[/i] "Are you sure?" "Yes. Well...no," "What happened? Oh, is it none of my business?" "No, it's alright."[i]Kia told the boy what had happened to her friend.[/i] [i]After a long pause, the boy studdered,[/i] "Hey...Th-That's like the...the time when Yasuhiko..." "Excuse me?" "Oh, it's nothing...Tell you what: meet me in Aqua Capital Mac Anu. We can talk there, okay?"[i]the boy said.[/i] "Oh yes, I'd love to!"[i]replied Kia.[/i] "Okay, then, see you there! Oh, and before I forget, my name's Kite." ------------------------------------ -----=====E-Mail=====----- ------------------------------------ [b]To:[/b]Kalya [b]Author:[/b]Kia [b]Subject:[/b]New Friend? Hello, Kayla, it's me, Kia. I met a strange kid just now who seems to know what's going on. He told me to wait for him in Aqua Capital Mac Anu, but he didn't say where. If your interested in coming, please meet my on the bridge again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----====="The World", Aqua Capital Mac Anu=====----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [i]Kia gated in to Mac Anu. It wasn't very busy, as most people were at work or school. She paused for a moment, viewing the beautiful port, where all the boats were docked. Kia noticed a small Twinblade was sitting in one of the boats.[/i] "Hey, you!"[i]said a man, suddenly appearing behind Kia,[/i] "You wanna fight? I'll bet you all my gold that I can beat you!" "no,"[i]Kia replied,[/i]"I don't wish to fight. Please leave me alone." "Oh, no, I don't think I want to do that,"[i]and with that the man drew his blade, and threw a furious swing at her.[/i] [i]Being a Twinblade, Kia easily dodged the blow, but she was frightened, knowing that this man was a serious threat. The silent Twinblade looked up, and as he saw the two, Kia and this man, a smirk found it's way across his face.[/i] "Get away from me, please!"[i]Kia wailed, dodging blow after blow from this stranger. He chased her into the long ally by the magic shop. Dead end, nowhere to run. The man pushed Kia into a corner, pinned her up by the throat, and growled, "Say goodbye, miss." Kia's eyes widened as he directed his blade at her heart. And, for a brief moment, she saw the mysterious Twinblade creep up behind the man. His lips parted...[/i] "Sir, you are a very sick man,"[i]he said,[/i]"and I don't think I like you." [i]And with that, he jumped onto the Heavyblade's shoulders and rammed both of his daggers through the man's skull. As the evil Heavyblade's body slumped, lifeless, to the ground, the Twinblade spoke to Kia:[/i]"Was this guy troubling you, miss?" [i]Kia could only remember one other time she had been more grateful: when Kayla had shown up to help her find the horrid monster.[/i] "Thank you...for saving my life..." "Hey, no problem. I told you to meet me here, right?" "You meen you're...?" "Yeah, my name's kite,"[i] he said, escorting Kia back to the bridge. As they walked, he whispered:[/i] "So...about this friend of yours..."[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDG Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 [color=navy][size=1]OOC- We really need more people. The story can't go on us two alone! Where's Ryu_Sakura? ---------------------------------------------------------- IC- Kayla checked the board before she logged into "The World". She didn't see anything interesting so she logged in. She looked around Aqua Capital Mac Anu. Not too many people today. The normally bustling, busy town was quieter than usual. Kayla slowly walked down the steps and past the recorder looking for Kia. She walked over the bridge and was almost past the magic shop when she saw a boy Twin Blade run down an alley. She decided to follow him. She wanted to know what was going on. She slowly followed behind him. He ran to the end of an alley where Kayla saw Kia being beat up by a Heavy Blade. The Twin Blade boy suddenly attacked the man. He rammed both of his swords into the man's skull. The man dropped to the ground. Kia thanked the boy, still quivering in fear from almost being killed. Kayla slowly approached the two. Kia saw her and ran up to her with the boy following. "Kayla, this is Kite. He may know something about that statue of that ghostly girl we saw." she said looking over at Kite. Kite and Kayla exchanged friendly greetings. "So, what about the girl, Kite?" Kia asked. Kite explained how his friend, Yasuhiko a.k.a. Orca, had been attacked by a monster with a large red wand and that a ghostly girl had given him a bracelet after the monster had killed Orca. Kite also told them that Yasuhiko, in the real world, had gone into a coma. Kia gasped. "That's what happened to my friend, Kiara." Kia retold the story to Kite. "I wonder what that thing is..." Kayla pondered out loud. The three of them decided that they needed to research a little more about "The World" and parted from each other. OOC-Heh, Kite, Kia, and Kayla, all start with a K, lol.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neko Posted January 12, 2004 Author Share Posted January 12, 2004 [size=1][i]Kite was very intrigued about this young Twinblade and her comatose friend. He had finally found another person experiencing the same problems as he was. He realized that these girls would be needing his help in the near future; he had seen it before. The very power he held on his right arm was the thing that had placed his friend in a coma...[/i] [i]Quickly, he checked the board. Interested in the post about a strange girl at Delta-Hidden-Expansive-Sea of Sand, he decided perhaps they should investigate.[/i] ------------------------------------ -----=====E-Mail=====----- ------------------------------------ [b]To:[/b]Kia, Kayla [b]Author:[/b]Kite [b]Subject:[/b]Strange Girl Hey, girls, you up for a dungeon adventure? Meet me in...Kia's ally(^_~). I'll explain there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----====="the World", Aqua Capital Mac Anu=====----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [i]Kia wasn't in "the World" for any particular reason. She was in the mood to just?get away from things. After all, who didn't enjoy a good ride down the harbors of Mac Anu? All of a sudden, a tiny voice cheerfully told her, in her head:[/i] "Hello, you've got mail!" [i]Logging out from "the World", Kia was all of a sudden very happy: there were, for once, people out there who actually cared for her. Maybe she could find a way to stay in "the World" forever...[/i] [i]In Kia's inbox was an e-mail to her and Kayla, from this strange Kite person. No sooner had she read it than she was off to "the World".[/i] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----====="the World", Aqua Capital Mac Anu=====----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "So,"[i]Kia thought,[/i]"That place where I almost died yesterday is now 'Kia's Ally'?"[i]For the first time in a while, she began to laugh, as she walked down the ally behind the Magic Shop...[/i] [I]Yuki, a Heavy Axe, logged into ?the World?, barely noticing the beauty of the bustling root town, Mac Anu. As she began walking down the steps to the city, she noticed a vague red figure running off into the distance. This struck her as kind of strange, as red wasn?t a valid color for clothes in ?the World?.[/I] ?Excuse me!?[I]Yuki barely had time to turn around and see what was happening before Kia, running full-speed, slammed directly into her.[/I] [i]As they were falling down, Yuki yelled out something that got blocked out, because obscene language isn?t generally allowed in ?the World?.[/i] ?What the *deleted* do you think you?re doing?!?[I]shouted Yuki as they both slammed into the concrete.[/I] ?I?m?terribly sorry, I didn-? ?Terribly sorry my *deleted*!? ?But I-? ?Just shut up and get off me!? ?Oh, ok??[I]mumbled Kia, slightly put off by Yuki?s attitude.[/I] [I]As Kia ran off in the direction of the red player, Yuki thought, ?Stupid newbies. Why are they always in such a hurry?!? In reality, it wasn?t the actual crash that angered her?but she had lost a whole hit point because of it! THAT was what angered her so much.[/I] [I]Still, that character in red intrigued her. She decided to find this player, and headed off to the ally behind the Magic Shop, yelling at a bunch of newbies on her way.[/I][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDG Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 [color=navy][size=1]After reading the email Kite had sent to her and Kia, Kayla logged into "The World" without even thinking about it. It had become a daily thing for her now, she used to just come whenever she needed to get away from home but now she had a purpose to come, to help Kia. Kayla smelled the clean fresh air and watched the glimmering water reflect the sunlight and with boats moving steadily through the water. She was taking her time, as she usually did with most things when she saw a Heavy Axeman run down the alley where Kite was meeting Kia and her. [i]I wonder who that is...[/i] Kayla thought to herself. She finally stopped leaning on the edge of the bridge and walked slowly down the bridge and the steps, past the magic shop and she began heading down the alley. The Heavy Axeman was already talking to Kia and Kite. Kayla approached the three. Yuki looked at her strangely. "Oh great, let me guess, another newbie." she said seeming to not care for anyone's feelings. Kayla slyly smiled. "No, I am not a newbie and I do not like how you speak to me. It is mean and unkind." Kayla frowned after she finished speaking and looked at Kia and Kite. Yuki glared at her and spoke to Kia and Kite. "Well, I don't really think that you two newbies will be able to do anything on your own. Later, n00bs..." Yuki began walking away when Kayla grabbed Yuki's collar and pulled her up. Kayla was exceptionally strong for a Wavemaster. "Listen here, they can do whatever they want as long as they believe that they can! And they're not doing this alone, I am helping them and with my help they can most definitely achieve their goal!" Kayla let Yuki down. Yuki frightenedly backed away from Kayla, Yuki continued to stare at her before turning around and running from the alley. "Wow, Kayla, you really showed her." Kite said.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryu_Sakura Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 [SIZE=1][color=deeppink][I]Yuki gave them a cold glare, ?What is your problem? Are you mental or something? Or is the vacuum in your head finally crushing your skull?? Yuki loved to make comebacks, she loved smart mouthing, but when someone picked on her it wasn?t her problem it was theirs. She was a low profile player killer, or rather she used to be before she got banned. She used to be Trilogy, but was banned because she killed several moderators and many players in her rage, though they knew they couldn?t keep her out, she was an experienced hacker after all. But this time she was over her head, she had just restarted after 3 times being banned, so she was at a low level and skill, thankfully she knew exactly where hidden rare items are. She ran towards the nearest one, it was right in front of their eyes, and they went thru it at least once during their time in the world, she walked up to the chaos gate, and muttered ?Transportation gate be mine!? and held out her hand, almost immediately a mini chaos gate appeared in her hand, now where ever she was she could teleport to this gate. ?I love these little bugs I planted here when I first started playing.? She smirked and walked back toward the ally, right above them sat an annoying little bird that when you got a feather from it gave you 10 levels, it was a hack a previous player put there, now if only she could lure them away long enough for her to get the feather.[/SIZE][/color][/I] *** I hope all the ?hacks? I put in are ok, ?cause in the world there are hacks, and cheats, so why can?t I put some in? Pm me if something?s wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neko Posted January 13, 2004 Author Share Posted January 13, 2004 [size=1][i]Yuki decided the only way she would be able to get to that feather without anyone noticing would be to hack again. This time, she used the newbie Twinblade as her diversion. She patiently hacked into the games core...altering here, adding there, messing with the very data that held this town together. After all, it was quite a complex hack.[/i] "so, what did you call us here for, Kite?"[i]Kia was just starting to ask, when all of a sudden, the music shifted to battle mode. All was confusion at first, but slowly, oh, so slowly, Kia realised the false truth: this was battle music![/i] [i]Shrieking horribly, Kia tried to take cover behind Kayla, but then completely lost it, and ran, wailing, to the Chaos Gate.[/i] "Kia, wait!"[i]yelled Kayla, but Kia couldn't hear her, so she ran off after her.[/i] [i]Only Kite remained. Briefly, he lingered, knowing this hoax. Then, he said to Yuki:[/i] "Fine, have your fun with the bird. We'll meet again here tomorrow, and I'll tell all of you about the new area." [i]Slightly embarrassed that she had been caught by, seemingly, a fellow hacker, Yuki quickly grabbed the feather, installed it on her character, and logged out.[/i][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryu_Sakura Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 [SIZE=1][color=deeppink][I]Well, she attempted to log out. Like she always does she shut her eyes so she wouldn?t see the flicker of pure white light that signals the shut off of the system, but she say no red on her eyelids, so she wearily opened her eyes only to be staring at the alley which she altered, and in flashing red text at the bottom it said, ?Logout Denied?? She was stunned this had never happened before. She wandered toward the chaos gate, she glanced around then entered, ?alone, change, me? the passwords to her place in the world, a place she had made herself. She missed Kite.[/SIZE][/color][/I] [SIZE=1][color=silver][I][To: Kite] [From: Yuki] The passwords are: alone, change, me. Come find me. Hurry. [end][/SIZE][/color][/I] *** I hope this is ok.

DDG Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 [color=navy][size=1]OOC- I'm a bit confused now, but I'll post anyway. IC- Kayla tracked down Kia. She had down by the Weapon Shop. "Kia, it was only a trick. Only a trick by a Hacker. Trust me, I've had my expieriences with them." Kia was still afraid as the battle music faded away. "Yuki must be some kind of a Hacker. I know I've seen similar character data before. She must have been a Hacker who has been banned multiple times." Kayla explained and Kia followed her back to Kia's Alley where they thought Kite would still be. They walked to the end and saw him nowhere. "Where'd he go?" Kia asked. "I don't know. Maybe he's going to meet us tomorrow or something." Kayla answered. Kia nodded. "Maybe.." she then got an email. "Well, I better go check that. I'll see you tomorrow, I don't think I'm going to log back in later." Kia said bye and logged out. Kayla heard in her head that she had new mail but she didn't want to check it just yet. She slowly walked to the Chaos Gate and entered the Keywords [b]Delta Expansive Gluttonous White Devil[/b] and was intstantly transported. This was her favorite area. She loved to come here to calm down after everyday. She slowly walked around for a little while, fighting any monsters coming out of portals she came too near and finally Gated Out back to Aqua Capital Mac Anu where she logged out and checked her mail. [b][u]Email[/b][/u] [i]To: Kayla From: Kite Subject: Tomorrow Kayla, meet me tomorrow at Kia's Alley. Hopefully, I can tell you and Kia where we need to go this time.[/i] Kayla sent a reply saying Ok and then completely exited "The World".[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neko Posted January 14, 2004 Author Share Posted January 14, 2004 [size=1][i]Strangely enough, Kite wasn't in the mood for logging out quite yet...after all, he was stil trying to help his friend, Yasuhiko. But, with so little information, he didn't know how he would be able to save him.[/i] "I should get some more virus cores..."[i]he muttered to himself, so no one else would hear him.[/i] [i]As he approached the Chaos Gate, he recieved an e-mail from Yuki, stating that she wanted to meet up with him at delta-alone-change-me.[/i] "That's odd,"[i]he muttered,[/i]"I've never heard of any of those keywords before..." [i]He decided he needed some time to think about recent events. He muttered something to himself, and his right arm began to shine. Though no one else could see it, a bracelet of data formed around his wrist. It added pieces to itsself as it grew bigger. Finally, Kite shouted[/i]"Bursting Passed Over Aqua Field!" [i]And, with a brilliant flash of blue light, he warped to the area he had first played "the World". Of course, this level was pathetic to Kite's power, but he liked to come here to think...it put him at ease.[/i] [i]A few hours later, Kite emerged into Mac Anu, and, directing his bracelet towards the Chaos Gate, muttered[/i]"Lock Bursting Passed Over Aqua Field."[i]Now nobody would be able to get into that area. Then, once again pointing his hand skyward, Kite said[/i]"Alone Change Me!" ---------------------------------------------------------- -----=====Delta-Alone-Change-Me=====----- ---------------------------------------------------------- "Huh?!"[i]Kite gasped as he entered the strange area. There were holes in the ground all over. As Kite looked down into one of them he saw endless strands of binary codes, the very laws that kept "the World" in one piece. Amazed at what he was witnessing, Kite stepped backwards, only to nearly fall into another hole.[/i] "Welcome, Kite,"[i]said Yuki from behind him,[/i]"I was hoping you'd come to see me." "What did you want to talk about, Yuki?" "well, I have a problem I was hoping you might help me with..."[i]replied Yuki.[/i][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryu_Sakura Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 [SIZE=1][color=deeppink][I]"well, let's get to the point, I can't log out." she pauses seeing what happend to her little place, she sighed, "Darn those dam virus destroyers! hold on a moment." She quickly does a little trick and suddenly the area is covered in grass with trees surrounding the area in a circle, it seems real enough until you glance at the sky to find it's not blue, but an evil shade of purple-red. "Sorry about the alkward colors, they change when my mood changes, funny before early today it didn't do that." she sighs, because Kite is still looking around, not paying any mind to her. she coughs, "As I was saying I can't log out, and you being a good player, and me being a hacker, who has just hacked back into the system with almost no power, I need your help, If I contact the system administragtor I will get booted, and since I can't log out, I might become deleted data, and you wouldn't want me to get removed would you?" she gave him a sad face, and then cluched her right side oh her face, "ow, sorry it feels like somthing just hit me." there is a crash in the background, "Shi- Come on let's go! they found this server and are deleting it! come on!"she grabs Kite's hand and pulls out her mini chaos gate, "Go!" she yells at it and they are instantly back in the hometown.[/SIZE][/color][/I] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDG Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 [color=navy][size=1]After coming home from a long day at school, Kayla walked into her room and put on her visor(I don't know what else to call it, oh well). She picked up her control paddle and logged into "The World" to cool down after her horrible day at school. She quickly checked her email. [b][u]Email[/b][/u] [i]From: Kite To: Kayla Kayla, I'm not sure if I'll be able to meet you in Kia's Alley today. I'm trying to help someone out who's in danger.[/i] Kayla deleted the message and logged into Aqua Capital Mac Anu. She looked around. It was now crowded with people, most likely kids just getting out of school. Not wanting to talk to anyone in case there was someone from her school logged in, she turned to the Chaos Gate and input the keywords [b]Delta Expansive Gluttonous White Devil[/b]. She looked around the marvelous, sparkling white, snowy area and then saw footprints. Two sets of footprints. She followed them to find another Wavemaster and a cat-like Blademaster fighting monsters from a portal. "Revolver!" The cat-like Blademaster shouted and swung at the monster(I can't remember what kind of monsters are in the area). The last monster fell over and disappeared. Kayla took a step and the cat-like Blademaster twitched her ears and turned to face Kayla. The Blademaster and the Wavemaster ran up to her. Kayla greeted them. She wasn't always so shy and silent when in her favorite area. "Hi, what brings you to my favorite area?" she asked. The Blademaster laughed. "Oh nothing, Elk and I were just inputting random keywords and then we just went here. So, what is your name?" The Blademaster asked. Kayla smiled. "My name's Kayla. What's yours?" The Blademaster smiled cattishly. "I'm Mia and he's Elk." she said, pointing to the Wavemaster standing behind her. Elk said hi and Mia continued talking to her. "By the looks of it, you're not new to "The World" are you? Elk and I are not either so would you like to join us?" Mia asked still with that cattish smile on her face. Kayla nodded. "Sure, I'd love too." what she didn't know was that Mia had been watching her, Kia and Kite ever since they had started to try and uncover the mysteries of their friends' comatose. Mia wanted to know more about it and she didn't mind making a friend in the process of trying to know. Mia looked toward the dungeon. "C'mon, lets go down!" she said and ran towards the dungeon. Elk blushed at Kayla and ran after Mia. Kayla stood awestruck that she had just made two new friends in "The World" before following after the two. OOC-Hehe, I've been planning on meeting Mia and Elk somewhere in the story...[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neko Posted January 15, 2004 Author Share Posted January 15, 2004 [size=1]---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----====="the World", Aqua Capital Mac Anu=====----- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [i]Kia was growing more and more anxious about saving her friend. Obviously, as soon as she got Kite's message, she rushed over to "her" ally. She was somewhat surprized and highly disturbed when she found no one there. She sat down on one of the boxes, and began to cry (again).[/i] "Kiara's gone, at the hands of that monster,"[i]she wept,[/i]"and now I can't even find my own friends...where are they?Where's... Kayla?"[i]To anyone happening to pass by, she must've looked pretty pathetic. A Heavy Axeman spotted her and teased,[/i]"Hey, stop crying like that, or we might get a flood here!"[i]Laughing, the man walked away.[/i] [i]"This world wasn't built for people like...for people like me,"Kia thought. "This place is for people like Kayla, and Yuki, and Kite. Not stupid idiots like poor, whimpering, pathetic, crybaby Kia!"She continued thinking, taunting herself more, until finally, when she was just about ready to commit "the World"s equivilant of suicide, a great commotion at the Chaos Gate caught her attention. Apparently, a heavy Axeman and a Twinblade had just warped in to Mac Anu. Obviously, they'd done something wrong, because they were standing upside down, suspended about twenty feet in the air.[/i] "Ummm...this may sound like a stupid observation,"[i]Kite said,[/i]"but we seem to be upside down,"[i]he finished, glancing over at Yuki.[/i] "*deleted* warp hack...this hasn't ever happened before..."[i]muttered Yuki.[/i] "Uh, we're in the air..."[i]repeated Kite. "Yes, well, it's possible that my warp hack caused a glitch that sent us up here,"[i]explained Yuki.[/i] "We...are...upside...down...floating...in...mid...AIR!"[i]Kite said, his voice quavering. He clearly wasn't understanding the current situation, so the situation decided to sort things out for him. He fell. Yuki fell as well (*deleted* this *deleted* *deleted* *deleted* piece of *deleted* game!), and after a rather lengthy fall, landed directly on top of Kite.[/i] "Well..."[i]pointed out Kite,[/i]"We [i]are[/i] at least on the ground now..." "Yeah, shut the *deleted* up. I actually [i]felt[/i] that!"[i]screamed Yuki, her voice breaking in pain here and there.[/i] "Hey, isn't that Kia over there?...!!! Oh, my meeting!"[i]realized Kite.[/i] "hey, where's Kayla?"[i]Kia asked, still snifling back tears from her sorrow a few moments ago.[/i] "Well, I thought she'd be here with you," replied Kite. "We can't start without Kayla!"[i]protested Kia,[/i]"We'll have to wait for her."[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryu_Sakura Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 [SIZE=1][color=deeppink][I]Yuki glanced around, ?holy ____, I?m in trouble, let?s go to a different area so I can?t erase something.? She grabs their hands and wisps them of through the chaos gate and into Hacker Hideaway, Kia looks around, ?How did you get in here? You didn?t say any words.? She looks puzzled. ?It was easy, all I had to do was hack into our location and replace us here, no passwords necessary.? Yuki looks at her palms, they are covered in blood, she flips her hands over to see more blood. ?What the? the? something is wrong with this game!? she quickly enters a code in the fabric of the world, now they no longer see a heavy axe with a blue dress but a heavy axe with a red dress. Sorry for the short post, I have to go do somthing.[/SIZE][/color][/I] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neko Posted January 15, 2004 Author Share Posted January 15, 2004 [size=1]OOC-this hacker hideaway of yours is called "Net Slum", but hackers call it "Paradise". (.hack//MUTATION) IC-"Wait, no! This is all wrong!"[i]Kia suddenly cried,[/i]"We were supposed to wait for Kayla!"[i]She raised her hand.[/i]"Aqua Capital Mac Anu!"[i]Nothing happened.[/i]"What the...Aqua Capital Mac Anu! Aqua Capital Mac Anu! Aqua Capital Mac Anu!" "Save your breath, Kia."[i]Yuki said.[/i]"This is a protected area. No one can either get in or out." "No! I have to get back to Kayla! She might be out there right now!" "Yuki,"[i]Kite calmly said,[/i]"I sent e-mails to them that I'd meet them in the ally. Kia has to go back, and tell Kayla where we are." "But this area is protected! No one can get in or out! I just said that!"[i]Yuki protested.[/i] "You're a hacker, Yuki."[i]replied Kite. His arm began to glow, just as before, and as his bracelet began to shine, he passed a challenging look to Yuki, and said but one word.[/i] "Fool." [i]Before him, a gate opened up to Mac Anu.[/i] "Go on, Kia. Tell Kayla we'll be right there." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----====="the World", Aqua Capital Mac Anu=====----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [i]Kia warped in to the ally. She glanced around briefly, but couldn't find Kayla anywhere.[/i] "Kia, this is Kite. I found Kayla's pin number. It seems she's wandering around in Delta-Expansive-Gluttonous-White Devil. I'm afraid we're still locked in over here, so you'll have to go get her on your own. Understand?" "Okay,"[i]Kia said, wondering if Kite could hear her.[/i] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----=====Delta-Expansive-Gluttonous-White Devil=====----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Great. This place is a high-level area, and I'm all alone,"[i]Kia muttered to herself. After standing amidst all the snow, she finally set out on her quest to find Kayla.[/i] OOC-Please don't make Kia do anything in future posts for now... I have...special plans for her(^_~).[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDG Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 [color=navy][size=1]OOC-Wave_of_Death has told me she will be absent from the story for a few days and she has put me in charge of it. Make sure not to do anything with Kia until Wave_of_Death gets back! IC-Kayla, Mia, and Elk entered the dungeon and looked around. It was just a normal Castle Wall dungeon with high towering ceilings and banisters. Mia looked at me. "Well, lets get going then." She ran ahead of Elk and Kayla into the next room. Elk looked at me and blushed. He ran ahead after Mia and Kayla quickly followed. In the next room, a portal whirled and three monsters appeared. A Magical Goblin, a Water Witch, and a Rock Head appeared(I'm still not sure about the monsters in the area, this weekend I'll go the area in .hack//Mutation and see what the monsters are and edit my post). Mia ran up to the Rock Head and began slashing at it with her sword. Elk and Kayla stood at a distance from the monsters. Elk used Juk Rom to easily kill the Magical Goblin. Kayla's main element was Fire, so she was a perfect match against the Water Witch. "Vak Kruz!" she yelled and fireballs converged upon the Water Witch. An elemental hit appeared above the Water Witch's head and it fell over, and disappeared. Mia shouted out one of her skills, struggling to kill the Rock Head. "Revolver!" She slashed at the Rock Head a few more times before it finally died. It vanished and Mia, Kayla, and Elk all recieved 3 experience points. "Only 3 experience points? This sure is a weak dungeon, Mia." Elk said. "Yes, but it is very beautiful, is it not?" Mia said in her mysterious tone of voice. Elk nodded in agreeance as did Kayla. Mia started walking to the next room. Elk and Kayla quickly followed. Once in the next room they looked around. There were no monster portals and it was a very large room. "Mia, why aren't there any monsters?" Elk asked. "Hmm..." Mia thought to herself for a moment. "I don't know Elk." Kayla looked around and then began walking into the next room. Mia and Elk followed. "Where're we going, Kayla?" Elk asked. Kayla looked back at him. "To the bottom of this dungeon." Elk nodded and continued following her and Mia. OOC-I'm going to stretch Kayla, Elk, and Mia's time in the dungeon out for awhile, until Wave_of_Death gets back.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neko Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 [size=1]OOC-Yay I'm back! Thanks for keeping everything in order! IC-[i]Avoiding magic portals completely, Kia searched the snow-ridden twilight for Kayla. For several hours, she trounced around in the white blizzard, barely even able to see her hands in front of her. Suddenly, she ran into something big, head on. As she looked up, she recognized the red eyeball of the Tetra Armor, a huge purple hulk with iron spike balls for hands. In her terror, she had a vague, horrifying flashback of her first encounter with a Tetra Armor: a sudden kick, followed by a crushing fist, and GAME OVER on the screen. If it noticed her, it paid little mind. Presently, Kia backed away from it, slowly, oh so slowly, and the moment her shoe crushed the snow underfoot, the eye of the massive armor snapped quickly to her, the blood red color sending chills down Kia's spine. Eyes wide in fear, she immediately ran off in the other direction with all the speed and agility one can expect from a Twinblade. The huge suit of armor lumbered after her, but it stood no chance against the sheer speed with which Kia was running. Soon, it bacame apparent to Kia that the Tetra Armor had given up the chase, and she skidded to a stop, toppled over into the snow, and inhaled rapidly to catch her breath. Suddenly, a massive chill rocked Kia's spine. Confused and worried, Kia got up, and once again violently shivered in the wind.[/i] "Wha-what's...happen-ning?"[i]Kia screamed, her teeth chattering in the ever opressing cold,[/i]"I can't be cold...the game blocks out the ability to feel!" [i]Far, far too cold, Kia warped out of the field.[/i]"I'm sorry, Kite...I failed..."[i]she whimpered as she was transported to the beautiful root town, Mac Anu.[/i] ---------------------------------------------------------- -----=====7h3_W0rl|),_N37_§lum=====----- ---------------------------------------------------------- [i]Hearing Kia's voice (through highly-advanced hacking), Kite searched her character data...[/i] [b]User Name:[/b] Kia [b]User Class:[/b] Twinblade [b]User Level:[/b] 1 [b]User Status:[/b] <^>[color=deeppink]PROTECTED[/color]<^> [b]User Character Status:[/b] [color=blue]Locked[/color], [color=crimson]Bleed[/color] [b]User Deaths:[/b] 2 "Huh?!"[i]Kite puzzled , gawking at several bits of data flying before him,[/i]"Locked? Bleed? Protected? What's going on here?!" [i]Back in Mac Anu, Kia took a step down the stairs from the portal. Still shivering, she felt a trickle of warmth run from her mouth, down her neck. She touched her hand to her lips, and, drawing her hand back away, gasped in horror at the liquid red stain washed onto her hand. Indeed she beheld blood then, as she realized that the biting cold had deeply cracked her lips. She ran, screaming, to her little box in the ally...[/i] OOC-Please don't make any assumptions at this point-all the details will become clear in future posts.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDG Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 [color=navy][size=1]OOC-Now the story is getting very interesting... IC-Kayla, Mia, and Elk continued through the dungeon. Discovering no more monster portals to be found. They reached the end of the dungeon where the Gott Statue should have been and there was only an empty room. "Where are all the monsters? Why is the dungeon empty?" Elk asked. Kayla shook her head. "I don't know. But this is freaking me out, let's leave." Mia and Elk nodded. Kayla used a Sprite Ocarina and they were teleported out of the dungeon. Kayla looked around. She saw footprints in the snow. They looked like a Twin Blade's. "Oh no, Kia must have been here looking for me." she sighed. "Well, let's Gate Out then." Kayla, Mia, and Elk nodded in agreement. They gated out and appeared in Aqua Capital Mac Anu. Kayla quickly looked around and ran off to Kia's Alley.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Che Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 OOC: I'm gonna make it so Kayla and Kana know each other. Hope it's ok. -------------------- Real World -------------------- [I][COLOR=royalblue]"Hi Kayla." Kana said as she passed Kayla on the streets. "Kana! We haven't talked for a while now. But I'm actually pretty busy. Oh! Meet me at Mac Anu on "The World." I'll be on in about an hour or so. I'll be on the bridge." She said and rushed off. Kana blinked, shrugged, and walked home. It had been about an hour already so she put on her pair of Neuro Goggles and logged on.[/I][/color] --------------------------- Aqua Capital Mac Anu --------------------------- [I][color=royalblue]In a few rings of light, a twinblade appeared. She looked around, surveying the town and it's beauty.[/I] "It's been ages since I last signed on. I hope I don't forget the controls." [I]She walked over to the bridge and leaned on the railing. There wasn't a wavemaster waiting. [/I] "Oh well. She'll have to wait. Maybe she was on before and got tired of waiting for me. That's it! I bet she's at Expansive-Gluttonous-White Devil!"[I] She said to herself. She got a few stares from passer-byers but she didn't care. She ran up to the Chaos Gate when the yellow rings appeared. A wavemastrer emarged and looked at her. [/I]"Kana? It's been so long, I forgot what your character looked like!"[I] She said. It was apparently Kayla. The two girls started talking as they walked to the bridge and stared at the water. [/I]"You should meet some of my friends. We trying to help someone, but we've got no leads. You'd really help, you're good at mysteries."[I] Kayla said.[/color][/I] -------------- That's all I have time for now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDG Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 [color=navy][size=1]OOC- Oh my. Now I am confused. I thought I was running towards Kia's Alley, well, I guess I'll just have changed course when I saw you. IC- Kana[oh my, another K name..] looked at Kayla happily. "I would love to help! It would really give me something to do!" she smiled and Kayla forced a half smile. Kana looked around at people passing. "So, what're we going to do first?" she asked. I leaned over the railing and looked into the crystal blue water. "We should find Kia first. I believe she was looking for me at [b]Expansive Gluttonous White Devil[/b]." Kayla looked up into the dazzling light blue sky before looking back at Kana. Kana was still smiling. "Let's get going then!" Kana said and began to run towards the Item Shop. Kayla stopped her. "No, wait. She's probably in her alley." she informed Kana. Kana came back and followed Kayla past the Magic Shop and into Kia's Alley. OOC-That's all I got for now.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
