Whoa. I don't know what this is, where this is, or how in the heck I ended up here. And I'm not all too sure that I like it. Did they give the game a makeover or something? 'Cause if that's the case, I've gotta say, I think I liked the old skins much better. Though, I guess this could grow on me.

[He takes a moment to look around, tapping his chin in thought.]

Know what? Scratch that first bit. I think this is an AIDA server. I thought we got rid of AIDA! But I mean, what else could explain the fact that I'm... actually here? No menu, no shortcuts, no nothing... Damn. Freaky.

... Is that a bar? Near a beach? And a huge... I don't even know what that building is? Awesome. Maybe I could get used to hanging out here. You know, assuming it's even safe. Uhh. Hello? Someone?

You rang?

[binary-ballad.livejournal.com]

Game? What kind of game are you talking about?

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Hu-- Oh! Right. Hi!

.... Where is this?

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

MMORPG. [puzzled look] Aren't you... playing, too?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

AIDA?

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Ah, hi! [So not explaining that. Note to self: make sure you're alone before just talking to the open air, yes?]

What's... going on here?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Oh. This is the Astral Plane. I don't know much about it.

[binary-ballad.livejournal.com]

Ah, I like those. Very nice scenery, though the monsters can be annoying. [ He shakes his head. ] No. This isn't a net game. It's not even a network from what people say, though it's easier to think of it that way.

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

It's not? But I was just playing a second ago! It's not like I took off the helmet. Or moved.

[binary-ballad.livejournal.com]

Ah, so you're still in your avatar? [ This will be KAITO reaching out and giving him a little poke. ] Strange. But I can interact with users here, so I guess it's not that unbelievable.

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Hey, you know more than I do. By far.

Does anyone know much about it? That I can go talk to, or something?

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

[And this will be Kuhn expressing slight surprise at having actually felt that, but he does manage to shrug it off and shake his head.] Yeah, avatar still. ... Wait, "users"? Then, what are you? And where's this?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Some people have been here a long time, apparently, but I don't know who.

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Like... trapped, or something?

[madamemoiselle]

It's not a game at all!

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Not really. You can go home by thinking about it.

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

[deadpans]

If I told you outer space, would you believe me?

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm not that gullible. Nice try, though.

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Just thinking? That's it? Well, that seems pretty anticlimactic. Next you're gonna tell me I'm just dreaming all of this. [Short laugh... and then totally serious:] Am I?

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Well, well! I think I just laid eyes on the prettiest star here. [This would be a rather cheesy grin]

If this isn't a game, at least tell me it isn't a dream!

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Nope.

[lamb_of_gold]

[Kinda watching this new fellow]

[madamemoiselle]

{Giggles} It's neither, of course. It's very real~

[coil-legacy.livejournal.com]

Server...? Oh! Are you another program?

[binary-ballad.livejournal.com]

I'm a program. Normally I live in Maki-sama's computer, or wander around the network. And this is the Astral Plane from what I've been told.
