...so how'd you get here, anyway? Died and woke up in the lake? Fell out of an airplane? Abducted by aliens? Actually sent to summer camp? I'm an inquiring mind and I want to know.

Also, I'm bored.

((ooc: we haven't had this one in awhile, right? i'll be in and out, but help me avoid schoolwork. also, mingle!))

The simulation stopped being a simulation.

[my_name_now]

Heh, that's what happened to my best friend. I know people who got out that way, too.

[gottabeatemall]

Yeah? It didn't get hjacked while it was running though, right?

. . . You're kidding.

[my_name_now]

No, she was in a VR machine at the arcade and when she took off the helmet, she was actually here.

My friend Chloe. Same story.

[gottabeatemall]

Wow, that is pretty weird! Kind of similar though; you're right!

I can't really stick any closer to the simulators than I do already, but I'll keep that in mind.

[my_name_now]

Other people have played in the machine Chloe was in and it didn't work, but there must be something to it.

[gottabeatemall]

So you're looking for a way out?

[my_name_now]

I'm not throwing myself at the barrier or anything, but doesn't everyone here want to go home?

[gottabeatemall]

Yeah, I think so! But you have to go home sometime, right? So does it help to keep looking for a way or to just wait it out?

[my_name_now]

I don't know. Most of the time people leave when they're not expecting to, though.

[gottabeatemall]

Then just go around like you normally do and you'll end up back home quicker that way.

[my_name_now]

I'm not stressing, really. I've been here for almost two years.

[gottabeatemall]

T-Two years? That's really long!

[my_name_now]

Yeah, I'm worried I'll have forgotten everything we were doing in school. Not that I'm a good student to start with.

[gottabeatemall]

You could study! With your friend! But that's still kind of crazy. You'll probably have to make a lot up. I know I'm going to at this rate.

[my_name_now]

I doubt time has actually passed... if we studied here we'd be ahead.
