[Intro!]

[magiciansarcana]

[Just a standard chat room for Kaito. He hasn't quite figured out how all the mechanics of this weird virtual reality website work yet. But give him some time and he'll master it, of course. Right now, he has one hand in the pockets of his jeans as he inspects the fairly empty and plain room curiously

[Bother!]

Are you new as well?

[magiciansarcana]

[blink, and he glances over his shoulder]

Yeah! It's kinda neat, isn't it?

[onlyacasson]

I've never even heard of this sort of technology before.

[magiciansarcana]

Virtual reality equipment? [another blink] It's existed for a while.

[flowerfancy]

[And Plantman sticks his head into the room curiously, taking a sec to look around before walking in.]

This place is weird... [Insert noticing other presences with a blink.]

[magiciansarcana]

[Oooh, another person! Turns around to face him and stops short. Bliiiiinks]

... what's with the costume? [peers at] Did you get the network to change your clothing when you logged in or something?

[flowerfancy]

Costume? [Hands go to hips that may have a slight cock to them. Or that's just how he stands, hard to tell.] This is what I always look like~

[magiciansarcana]

[blank stare] ... why?

[dontfeartreaper]

[Ey, you're the boy he met before. ]

Not really, but I saw worse things.

[magiciansarcana]

It is awesome! I didn't know virtual reality equipment was this advanced!

[dontfeartreaper]

Me either. I wonder who sent me that strange email. Not my superiors, that's for sure.

[magiciansarcana]

It was probably some company picking out random people to test their new products.

[machine_purist]

[ Gives a bit of a smile, it's nice to see someone having so much fun. ]

New to this?

[magiciansarcana]

[still inspecting the room]

A bit. But it can't be that difficult to understand.

[machine_purist]

Nah, it's pretty easy to get the hang of.

[magiciansarcana]

You've already figured it out?

[soldierpride]

[Zack's had plenty of experience with crazy realistic VR before, but never just for... socializing. It's weird, and he's still trying to figure out the purpose to this place and what places to connect. He doesn't think Rufus is up to something, but he wouldn't put it past the President to send him something like this just to mess with him.

In any case, have a tall ex-SOLDIER approaching you, sword and all]

Never been in a VR sim before?

[magiciansarcana]

[Glances over his shoulder and blinks at the newcomer]

Er. Well, I've play virtual reality video games before. But never been in a virtual chat room!

[soldierpride]

Didn't know many people could afford video games right now.

[It's an idle observation, not accusing in any way, and he wanders over to a wall and presses a hand against it. It's surprisingly solid, no warp or flicker at all]

More used to combat sims myself. But this is pretty high-quality stuff.

[magiciansarcana]

[He just shrugs. The comment seems a little out of place to him, but not so bad that he'll point it out]

This is the first time I've been in a virtual reality thing that was so complex though. You're usually still somewhat aware of what's going on around you when you're playing the video games.
