It is highly recommended to be laying down on a surface low to the ground before putting on the Jumping Frames. User should also be wearing comfortable clothing and the intended area of Nerve Jumping has a comfortable room temperature ranging between (60-90 degrees Fahrenheit) or (15-32 degrees Celsius).

There will be a small pinch when turning on the Frames. This will be normal and signals that the accelerons are connecting with your corporal data chip. If you do not feel a pinch please refer to the troubleshoot section of this manual.

Lightning blue irises steadily took in the text bit by bit. Atra's lean but nubby hands held the pages at half an arms length from his face, "To manually connect the Frames to your data chip please use the provided micro usb cable and make the connection between your Virtual Data port and the port labeled "Output" on the Frames. Manual jumping should only be used if the Auto Drive feature does not commence during the start up process. "

A girl sat across from him nodding in acknowledgment, turning the Frames over and over in her hands. "Joining the PCD rage might just be paid off with this device here." The device's main shape resembled a pair of sunglasses, too square and too thin to actually block out the sun, attachable earpieces on both sides and a small stylish strap for the back of the head.

BAP! Milly let go of the Frames and grasped her head in slight pain. "Ow!" Redness in her cheeks drew out the puffy annoyed look she gave her assailant.

"The acronym is CDC, what do you think of when you say PCD huh?" He let his right hand poised over her head ready to give her another knock on the skull.

"Personal..computer...d..device?" Orange hair bounced free of her shoulders as she flinched away. "I know what CDC means! I just wasn't thinking at the moment..." She closed her eyes ready for the next strike. Instead she felt her nose gently being yanked away from her face. "Ngah!"

"Corporal Data Chip," Atra grinned ear to ear still holding fast to her nose, "now before we begin jumping into the game I would like you to read the instructions at least once. This stuff isn't meant to be played with by silly kids." He handed the one and a half inch thick manual to Milly. She took it from him reluctantly, opened it up to the first page and read through his fingers on her face.

The Corporal Data Chip – the once highly secretive virtual technology – now mass produced by Google's newest driving slave force: Jumper. A game programmer and his twin neurologist joined forces with a group of bio-techs to create a miraculous chip similar to the size of the chips we place on animals to track them. It is surgically added to the skin in the back of the lower neck physically touching the nervous system and the brain at once. It does not interfere with your bodily functions, rather it acts like a new organ – it intercepts your nerve's communication to the brain and distorts their biological language into that of the virtual realm's. CDC then sends the new information to your brain thus tricking your body and mind into perceiving virtual reality.

Milly had to drag Atra to the local hospital to consider getting the chip implanted. Why wouldn't they? It was their dream of course! To live and breathe a different reality! Now its possible with one of their all time favorite games – Guild Wars 2.

Atra raised an eyebrow, released her nose and then patted her on the head. He then turned and took two steps away from her. Suddenly he felt arms around his midriff. "I read it, now lets jump already. I promised I'd meet with my guild this evening," Milly pleaded, burying her head between his shoulder blades.

"Ewwww! That roleplay guild you were so obsessed with?" He reached back wrapping his arms around her and stretched his fingers gripping her sides. "Mwuahah! I rather take you through the Ruins of Orr and greet Zhaitan as soon as we log in. You'll be so scared of the high level Risen that we will aggro and you'll start screaming, waking the death of us all up!" His fingers squeezed one by one unleashing a vicious tickle attack.

Milly squealed trying her best to get away from him as fast as she could. "Y..o..u.." she snorted, "YOU TRAITOR!" She managed to twist free from his grasp, bunny hopped onto the couch and stood dignified with two hands on her hips facing him. "I don't have to answer your whisperings, party invites or virtual poking if you dare to risk my life in such a manner!"

He stared at her, bewildered. "One, its virtual life. Two, even more tempting, its your Asura's life. I'll drag that ugly rat through every aggressive mob in the game if I could! Hell I'll even get the passive monsters to attack her too!" His lips curled into an evil snarl. Atra enjoyed seeing her fret, but the one thing he didn't like about playing with her was the silly race she chose. The Asura were hardly big enough to wield a one handed sword, in his mind of course, and their mostly bald gray heads creep him out even more.

"Oh get over it, you're going to have to put up with my "ugly rat" in a very realistic setting. I can't wait to rub my "ugly rat" farts in your face!" Milly crossed her legs and laughed. She then quieted and placed her head on her palm in a thinking posture, staring dreamily at Atra.

Atra glanced up at the ceiling while putting his hands onto the back of his head, "Wipe that stupid smile off your face, I've got a game to jump into." His tone was a serious one and he grabbed his Frames and the manual off the counter, "At least read the part that says, "Remain calm during setup and Jumping process, manually removing the micro usb cable link could result in mixed bodily signals. This will be natural and will only take a few seconds for the "nerves" to communicate correctly with the brain again. The Frames cannot cause nerve damage and have preventative measures when entering and leaving the virtual data."

Milly cocked her head to the side confused, "You just read it to me. But it was reassuring to hear it..." She rose, snatched her own Frames off the counter and turned to face the dark haired man, "I'm going to jump perfectly for the first time and you're going to fall straight onto your pretty little necromancer face."

Atra looked down like a wolf ready to pounce on its prey, "I'm going to watch you eat your own words, because you always, ALWAYS do." He grabbed all the papers that came with their devices' boxes, organized them by importance of warning labels down to the contact information and pushed them under his arm. "Lets go."

She refused to look at him as they crossed their home into the bedroom together. Thunder rolled in the background and rain tapped on their single window. Their bedroom light portrayed their shadows on the walls, slowly moving about in a romantic dance with the blue-gray figures. Milly shrugged off a deep orange sweater and snuggled under the blankets with just a tank-top and soft pajama pants. She sat up against her pillow, holding the frames close to her face and inspected them one last time.

"What's wrong?" His voice hugged her as he descended into the blanket next to her.

"Just preparing for it mentally is all. Super nervous." She nodded clenching a fist.

He flicked her on the head and handed her a cellphone. "I put it on vibrate, just plug it in next to you. It should go off in about an hour and ten minutes."

Milly bit her lip, eyes narrowed. "Yeah yeah, did you check the wireless portals for each of our computers?"

He nodded a yes and suddenly the thunder outside clapped extremely loud.

"EEK!" She cried diving under the pillow holding her ears.

Atra groaned and yanked Milly out from under the pillow all the meanwhile pulling her arms away from her head. "Stop that! You're suppose to remain calm remember?"

Salty water touched her eyes and then her cheeks, "Stop being so mean to me."

His expression softened and he took a hand and scratched her head with it. "I don't mean to be. You said before you wanted to be brave and be the best you could be, remember?"

She remained quiet for a moment, thinking of several responses all at once. Her emotions tying different meanings to her true thoughts but she cleared her throat and said, "I know... I know too well I said that. I'll feel more confident once I'm 3 feet tall and wield the power of fire and air. Then let a storm scare me!" She giggled at her own words.

"Irony." He said with his mouth twisting a bit.

Together they sat in silence listening to the gentle drumming of the rain. A few minutes passed, they looked at their phones and noted the time. "4:11 pm. I guess I'll be seeing you in game..." She said grasping the blankets between her fingers.

Atra unfolded her clenched fingers and weaved them into his own. "I'll find you and go on with my madness. You can't refuse me."

The corners of her eyes, lips and heartstrings pinched upwards in unison and she whispered to herself, "I don't think I can. I feel kind of bad for my character!"

She took a deep breath and pulled the strap comfortably over her head. She laid down on her side facing him. Atra did the same with his Frames, instead laying on his back in his preferred sleeping posture.

"Just a long freaking awesome dream..." Milly murmured clasping tightly to his hand.

"On 3..." He started the count, pointing a finger over the right side of his Frames.

"2..." She replied imitating him.

"1!"
