Chapter 1

My name is Cinmas Limari, and I'm 6 sweeps old, which is about 13 in human years. I think, I'm not even sure. Humans are so confusing. I really could never understand them, what with their silly pink skin, their silly colored hair, and their silly red blood. They don't even have gray skin. I doubt I'll ever understand them. They play silly games, too, and then they die so early into life. 80, 90 years old, is that when humans die? I'm going to live for much, much longer. It's silly.

I'm done with humans, for now. A friend of mine had given me a gift, a silly game labeled Troll Art Online. I didn't usually play these kind of things, as it was another game you would get yourself sucked into, like SGURB. (A/N: I know in Sword Art Online, they have the headgear, but I thought it'd be more fun if they actually got pulled into it, with their own selves!) I opened up Trollian, trolling my moirail, Kanaya, about the game, to see if she was fishy about this, too. It turned out that it was just me, as after the conversation, Kanaya was perfectly fine with it and was going to play it. Sighing, I inserted the Troll Art Online disk into my computer.

My computer went totally black for a minute, until a pop-up window came up saying, "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to your computer?" Seeing as it was just a silly game, I clicked "yes". For a minute or so, I was left staring at a screen, unchanged. Letting out a little laugh, I rolled my eyes. "This is dumb." I muttered. However, almost right after I said that, a log-in screen came up. I clicked the "register" button, following all the instructions. After I filled out everything, a little box said, "Please check outside for a box." Moving away from my computer, I walked outside my hive, only to see a box right outside.

I opened it, and what was inside surprised me. There was a white sleeveless shirt with my symbol on it in my blood color, a green long sleeved shirt, a teal ribbon sort of thing that looked like it was supposed to tie to the white shirt, green skin-tight pants, a skirt in my blood color, and green-and-white shoes. For a moment I thought this was a nice outfit given to me by Kanaya, but when I looked on the box, it was, for one, labeled "Troll Art Online", and it wasn't in her handwriting either. I brought the box inside, seeing that the screen that was telling me to get the box was now replaced with new directions. I placed the box next to my computer and looked at the message.

This time, it was telling me to change into the outfit, then go outside again. Though I felt extremely silly listening to a game, I did what I was told. When I stepped outside, there was nothing. However, a voice in my head told me to go to the transportilizer near my hive and that it would only be active for a few minutes. I hated those stupid voices. Even though I hated it, I did what I was told again. On the other side was a place I had never seen. The first thing I heard was a lady-like voice saying, "Please be at the Town of Beginnings in 20 minutes." It repeated itself a few times before it stopped talking. I was starting to get creeped out, wanting to go back home. When I stepped on the transportlizer, though, nothing happened. I assumed that it must have been deactivated. Sighing, I left my transportlizer behind. Looks like I had 20 minutes to explore this crazy place.

I didn't want to go too far, because at the moment it appeared I was already in the Town of Beginnings, what with all the other trolls and very few humans talking. The first recognizable troll I could find was Eridan. I let out a huff, seeing as I hated that fishface. A lot. However, I couldn't help but feel bad to see him all alone in a corner, pretty much hiding. I was actually surprised he decided to play Troll Art Online. I walked over to him, and I guess he was surprised to see me, because he stared at me for a moment before saying, "Er...Hi, Cin." I huffed, looking at him. "Hi, Fishface." I muttered. "I guess you decided to play Troll Art Online." He nodded. "Yeah, I'm surprised you decided to play, too." I rolled my eyes at him. "Whatever, I'm only playing because Kanaya is." I lied. To be honest, though I was scared, I was kind of excited. "Please be at the Town of Beginnings in 15 minutes." I heard the voice say again. That wasn't a problem, I was already here.
