[Action]

[There's a girl running around Mac Anu this fine day! She also seems to be pretty darn excited over... well, something. Is she a newbie?]Nyahahaaaa! Did they sneak in a patch while I wasn't looking? The graphics are so clear! And it looks like everything got a style upgrade, too

[See Yuukoku. See Yuukoku standing in Mireille's path, unaware of the incoming danger. See Yuukoku fall over when Mireille runs into him.]

W-wah!

[He hadn't been expecting anything to collide into him, so he wasn't prepared for the collision. Now, he was on the floor, rubbing his head, which had hit the floor not too gently.]

Ow...

[Well, Mireille, you just crashed into the resident blind kid.]

[ismellarare]

[Mireille recovers from the spill quickly, and makes her way to the poor guy the instant she realizes just what it was she ran into.]

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! Are you okay?

[ghostrokku]

[He nods slightly, and stands up.]

I'm fine...

[Though he knew the direction the voice was coming from, he was most likely not facing Mireille properly.]

[ismellarare]

[Well that was odd. Maybe he played with the third person POV?]

I'm super sorry! I should have paid more attention to where I was going, but, well... I was just so excited, I couldn't contain it!

[ghostrokku]

Just watch out where you're going next time....

[His head still hurt a little, so he was still rubbing it. His elbow was bleeding, but he hadn't noticed, as there wasn't much pain coming from it.]

[ismellarare]

Yup! I'll be sure to!

[And then she notices the blood. Wait what. Did they make it so you could take damage from running into other characters while she wasn't looking?]

Oh, no! Did you actually get hurt from that?

[ghostrokku]

Hm? What do you mean?

[ismellarare]

Your avatar is bleeding. That means you took damage.

[ghostrokku]

I'm bleeding...?

[Now that he thought about it, there was a minor sting coming from his elbow. He used his other hand to touch the bleeding elbow, and felt the blood. It didn't feel like anything major though, so he dropped his hand, and then gave the other a slight reassuring smile.]

It's nothing much, I've had worse than this.

[Then, he switched the topic, as he had noted something strange with the other's last comment.]

Avatar? ....what do you mean by that....?

[ismellarare]

You know, your character! The person that represents you in the game!

[Also a bit odd, but... maybe he's new to MMOs?]

[ghostrokku]

[When she said that, something clicked in his brain.]

...I think you may have made a mistaken assumption. This isn't a game.

[ismellarare]

...Huh? Excuse me?

[ghostrokku]

...this place works like a game...but it's not really one.

[Now, how to prove this... Oh!]

....try quitting the game...

[ismellarare]

Whaaaaat? But I just logged on..!

[ghostrokku]

...is it that much of a hassle to log out and in again?

[ismellarare]

Well, no, but- Oh, fine!

[She moves her hands to about chest-level, as though she were about to type something.

...Wait, what? Why was her character-]

...Eh?
