The reasons Better decided to try The World were many and complex. This was the first time she had ever logged on to any iteration of The World, after hours of fiddling with the FMD to get the pads just so and she could finally stand wearing it. She was suitably impressed. Hell, blown away, even.
How obvious her inexperience must have been, a young Wavemaster roaming the streets of Mac Anu looking at everything at once, occasionally walking into things and other people as she got used to the controls. So many people, and this was just one town in one field in one server! It was honestly a little intimidating. Eventually she faced the question all gamers with limitless freedom are given:
What now?

[ gate in :: ] One of those players that Better had accidentally bumped into was Atoli. Atoli had actually gated in quite a while ago, but since her gate in, she hadn't found anything to do. When she saw someone walk near her, she'd offer a smile and a wave, as well as an offer for support if they wanted to go questing. For the most part, most of them declined or simply ignored her all together. That's why when this player bumped into her, she did not get upset nor angry. In fact, she actually smiled. "Excuse me?" She asked politely as she began to trail the person. "Are you okay?"

Oh hell, someone was following her. Well, it had to happen sooner or later. Just calm down, take a deep breath, and answer. "Yes, it's no trouble, really. I'm sorry for bumping into you like that." Her tone of voice was formal. Was it too formal? Was her accent too heavy? Was she being off-putting? Just act natural. "I'm still getting used to these controls. It's my first time in the World, you see. It's... not at all what I expected," she admitted, staring at the passing gondolas as they turned on to a street running parallel to one of the canals.
Oh, right, introduction time. She turned around, smiled and offered her hand, then looked surprised that she'd actually done it. The gesture menu was ludicrously intuitive. "I'm Better."

So she was a new player. Atoli let her smile grow for but a moment before it faded away. Now was not the time to gush over a new player. That could come later! The Wavemaster bowed first, before taking the girl's hand. "I'm Atoli! I've been playing The World for a while now... I could show you around if you'd like me to." After she took her hand back, she folded it with it's twin, right behind her back. She glanced around for a moment before nodding in agreement to what she had previously said. "The World is amazing, isn't it? It's so detailed and beautiful!"

Atoli, hm? Good name. Hoping she wasn't being presumptuous, Better sent Atoli her member address. "Pleased to meet you, Atoli. I'd love for you to show me the ropes sometime, if that's not too much trouble."
"It's beyond amazing," she said, gawking at a player whose avatar looked like it had just stepped out of Lewis Carroll's Wonderland as interpreted by Salvador Dali on acid. "I was expecting a game. Optimistically I was expecting Skyrim on steroids, not... a world. I guess the stories are true."
In her head the germ of a rhyme was already infecting her thoughts. 'Booting up, logging on, hey welcome to the World / Watch me work a little magic as I splendidly unfurl / stat-sheets, class lists, it's the same old song and dance? / No way hombre, give Mac Anu a chance.'
Or not. Why did English rhymes have to be so complicated?
Just then, Better's display pinged. 2:30PM, Terapi i en halv time! "Oh, wow, I'm very sorry, but I have an appointment with my therapist in half an hour and I have to get going. Aaaand that's probably too much information. If you're still interested I should be at, uh, Bilious Frozen Frogs in three hours," she said hurriedly, grabbing words out of thin air. Fighting her embarrassment, Better sprinted back the way they'd come.

Franticly trying to plug cords into her system, untangling those who unknowingly tied themselves into knots, before finally getting the famous game set up. It had been a hour or something of fiddling with the cords and reading the long manual to get her to this state. Slipping on the FMD over her face a black screen met her until the words faded into focus: Welcome to The World. [gate:in] Seeing the sudden change of scenery took Envy back; she hadn’t imagined The World to be so, realistic. Lifting her head up Envy took a deep breath of artificial air before looking forward at the packed streets of Mac Anu. Moving her hand across the controls Envy took her first steps in The World. Truth be told it wasn’t the best moment. She didn’t know what command she had made but Envy landed on the ground, staying there for a few seconds, before getting up and ramming into a few PC’s and objects. This was going to take some getting used too, especially if she was going to use her class skills to the fullest. Pacing around the streets Envy stared down at her reflection shining back at her from the waterway. Her straight black hair, cat ears, tail, and eyes; everything, other then the school uniform outfit, seemed so out of place. ‘A reflection that isn’t me but is me…’ she thought, before giving a small grin, ‘I think I can get used to this.’ ooc notes_ i'll make a posting table tomorrow Bl

When the soft ting of a notification rang in her ear, Atoli nodded. She knew it was a member address due to the sound it made~ "Great! I'll have to do that some time!" As she spoke, she too sent her member address to Better. But then Better announced that she had to go. Atoli listened, even as she gave her a bit too much information. It didn't bother Atoli. Perhaps someday she could help Better by letting her vent to her as well or something. Who knew. It was always nice to have friends in The World. Atoli waved as Better left. "Okay, I'll try to be there!"Just as Better had left, it seemed another new player had arrived. Atoli could tell because this one was falling and walking into things as well. With a shake of her head, she smiled softly and walked over to the kitty girl. "Do you need any help?" She asked with a friendly smile to show she meant no harm. Even though it was a safe zone, that didn't mean there wouldn't be bullies! If this player was new, Atoli wanted her first experience to be a nice one, and not one where some PKs lured a newbie into a field to kill them. How awful that would be.

With them came her head, the grin of approval fleeting away from her expression as she looked at the approaching girl. Her character model reminded Envy of a fairy, one from those children movies and bedtime stories. Envy kept her mouth closed, scanning her features with her red eyes before giving the girl a small smile.
Leaning forward Envy tilted her head, peering up at the girls eyes, “Oh no I’m fine~ I was just having trouble getting used to the commands.” She spoke as she leaned back and stood up straight. With a small flick of the cattail behind her Envy’s grin widened, “Are you… a veteran of some sorts in The World? How long have you played this game? What level are you?” Envy asked, each question coming right after the other with zero chance of fitting in an answer after them.

Booted up, ready to, cords all in and untangled as always. A perfect shrine, and a perfect choice of entertainment right after a hot shower.
[gate: in]
Manria entered the town and immediately caught the females bombardment of questions. Being new to the game, he was going to take awhile to get used to the controls, but once he did he figured he would be fine.
"Hey...this thing working? Yeah, there go. Whats kicking ladies?" He let out a small laugh and moved forth a little bit, joining the pair. Puella and Zodiac. Interesting names. He wondered if his name was perhaps in ill choice, but it had a long history with some of the forums.

It seemed new players were abundant today! The sound of yet another newcomer distracted Atoli for a moment, which led her to hesitate on answering Envy's quetions. "Hello. Your microphone seems to be working just fine. Come and join us if you'd like." Atoli then bowed politely to him. When she came up, she smiled softly at Envy and inhaled, readying herself to answer those questions. "My name is Atoli, and I have been playing The World for about a month... which is kind of sad because I'm only level fourteen." Atoli smiled nervously and glanced away. It seemed like such a small level compared to how long she had been playing. Then again, she wasn't on 24/7...

From the way he asked if his mic was working it was easy to assume he was a newbie like Envy. Turning her gaze from the female to the new male of the bunch Envy looked at his avatar. Was he of the same class she was? Shaking off the question Envy looked back at the girl as she answered her many questions with a deep breath.
So her name is Atoli huh? Original sounding and it add to the whole fairy image she had in her mind. Envy stared at the girl, “Y-your level fourteen?! No fair, I’m just level one still.” She exclaimed, giving a small pout in annoyance to her starter level. She wanted to be strong, not weak and running into things in a crowded root town. Taking a second to keep pouting at her status Envy gave a small fake cough before turning to the two players, “Ahem, anyways, my name’s Envy~! ~(=^・ω・^) ノ” she began before giving the boy a glance, “Now you know Atoli and my name, what’s yours? (=・ェ・=?)”

Atoli offered for him to join them, and accordingly to her offer, he did just that. Joining in on the small group, he himself returned a bow of sorts as greeting to the two. As they introduced themselves, Envy asked him his. It was natural to give the in game character name he had, so he figured real life names were unimportant here. This was the online world after all.
"Manria! Like Man, then Ree-uh." He laughed and observed her character avatar as well. Most avatars in The World were pretty distinct. Everynow and then, you came across ones that were almost identical except for slight variations, and sometimes exactly identical. It had its own sense of uniqueness about it. "Your a Kick Boxer?" He asked Envy, then directed to Atoli. "And you are....?"

*Gate in*
The three gold rings lazily deposited the level 1 player character.
They were extremely tired from working all day, warping players in and out, in and out. How monotonous, right? Please feel sorry for them.
The three gold rings vanished, wondering if it was possible for them to unionize. The Gold Ring union?
Please be advised. Nothing written in narration should be taken seriously.
His dark purple cape wrapped around his back, traveling through the digital wind. The Wavemaster observed the water city of Mac Anu from the vantage point of the Chaos Gate tower.
If he could take a breath of fresh air, he would. Of course, even if there was a command for that, it would be pretty useless.
Instead, the 20 year old living in his one-room apartment took in a breath of apartment-room air. It smelled like lasagna.
"So, so. I've returned to The World, after such a long time."
The level 1 Wavemaster named Gallifrey walked through the streets of Mac Anu, until he found his old favorite spot near the railing, overlooking the river and the boats.
"I guess it's fine to relax like this, once in awhile" he said to himself.

It was just like any other day I had been living for the past two years now. Get up early in the morning, get ready with my uniform, eat, then drive off to the one thing that's keeping me financially stable, before returning back for dinner and sleep. Ever since that day, my life had simply became dull and redundant, and endless cycle of things that had simply become a routine for me. It was only now though that I had gotten my hands back on the one thing that had had my life fun back then...at least before that incident. Though my hands were sweating as anxiety welled within me, I strangely felt more excited than the fear I had back then. I took one deep breath as I put down my log-in details, later seeing the loading screen before a sudden flash of light.
DELTA SERVER: Eternal Aqua City, Mac Anu. Gating In.
It was exactly how he remembered it back in the day. Three gold rings acted as a portal to teleport him, or his character rather, into the root town of the server before fading away to allow him movement. It had been way too many years since he had last gone into this game, a game which he was so addicted to back then before THAT event happened to him. And as he adjusted the brand new headset he bought just for this occasion, he watched this new 'The World' as if staring from his own two eyes, the male initially setting his view to first person to make this experience even more realistic, despite holding a game controller in his hands. And though there were much more grander structures around him where he stood, he had never forgotten the impact the place made on him when he first played the games.
Mac Anu...No matter how long, its still just the same as back then.
The real male smiled as he looked around, later playing around with his controller a bit to get a feel of the menus, browsing each command individually while his character stood in front of the Chaos Gate. Though he may had been a very old player to the game, he couldn't help but feel rather 'newbish' at the moment. He kept focus on adjusting his controls, not yet minding any of those that were also coming and going from the area.
He took another moment to temporarily change his POV, putting the third person view toggled as he tried to admire the looks of his avatar, the very character he tried to design for this game. It was hard bringing back the old look he had from back then, instead altering the style from the knightly look he used before. Rather than armor, he went with a more stylish and maneuverable look, yet why he chose to keep his attire all black was beyond him. After a few camera rotations around his guy, he switched back to the view he was using previously, ready to move himself out. He took one deep breath to blow out the insecurities he still had in his chest, pressing down on the left joystick as his character started to move.
Might as well try seeing what's in town first.
