Always I have wanted something exiting, not till now did I get my wish.

I am yumitoko of durem and I'm damn proud of it.

"Welcome to Gaia, you are currently in the newbie centre",a woman exclaimed, her eyes aglow and her black hair spiky, she had a straight cut bangs, two strands of her hair on each side where tied up and spiked greatly, the rest was hanging down cut straight at shoulder height.

"I am Moira, you have all been assigned soul names."

"Soul names", asked a girl in the corner quietly to herself,

she scanned the room, it was light and spacious.

White.

That's why some called it the 'White Room'.

All of the 'Newbies' were dressed in the same clothing

and no-one was particularly eye catching, all had similar hair styles.

The males dressed in a peasant top, pants and gloves.

The females were dressed in a peasant dress and gloves,

she looked at her own clothes, ran her hands over them,

they had given her the 'Jade' set, her greenish clothes were hardly the most flattering or comfiest, but they'd have to do mean while, but her hair she hadn't noticed, not yet.

The Newbies sat bewildered as Moira explained,"Your soul name is one of three names your soul goes by", she coughed and quickly grabbed a clipboard from the desk,"Here I shall assign you your soul names!"

The girl in the dark corner wrapped her arms around herself and held on tight,

until Moira approached her and pointed, the girl quickly looked up,"yes?"

Moira looked down at her,"Yumitoko", a smile spread on her face, that smile was one she'd soon be very familiar with, she swiftly hurried over to another unnamed newbie.

"Yumitoko, not so bad....Yu-mi-to-ko", she murmured to herself.

"The clothes you wear are yours, you may buy new clothes with the five hundred gold we give you, I will be available on hand with these", Moira held a flat board in her hand," as thin as paper, hard to damage it by accident, flexible, comes in many designs, we'll give you the two standards, the board or the tag, the choice is upto you, to stretch it you hold it round the edges and pull, it's not hard to resize, to minimize, do the opposite."

The newbies formed a line in the white room.

The vast queue soon shortened.

Finally, yumitoko was at the desk.

"Which would you like",It wasn't really a question,"hmmm…maybe the tag? It'll only hurt a bit. Wait one second",she dived into a compartment of her desk,"here is you five hundred gold, but first,"she held up a strange looking stamp, and then she saw the needles on the ends. God only knew how much she hated needles.

"Could I have the board instead",she asked wide eyed, but Moira shook her head, winked, and added the cheesiest of smiles.

"Give me your left wrist",in Yumitoko's mind she was the devil in disguise, but there was no where to run, and she didn't want to make a complete fool of herself, she held it out sheepishly, Moira took this opportunity to yank it towards her.

Shit.

"Wait...",the whole line now stared at her.

"What?", Moira sighed.

"um...well, why am I here, I wasn't here before, I'm sure of it. Tell me", she nodded, convincing her self that she was sure, her voice raised to a stuttering crescendo.

"Calm down, hun, your a Gaian now, Yumi", she didn't answer her question.

"My names not Yumi or Yumitoko, don't call me that. I have a real name! I want out."

Moira stamped her before she had chance to withdraw her arm, the needle seemed to sear and burn into her skin, which was unexpected by her, Yumitoko quickly snatched it back shortly afterwards, giving a slight whimper, holding it away from Moria, but not looking at the consequence of the stamp.

"Okay, look it. You visit Gaia in your dreams, that doesn't mean were not all real people, we are all real, honey. When in Gaia you will be known as Yumitoko. This will give you relief from the real world", Moira rushed her words and swiped her fingers over Yumitoko's newly stamped wrist.

This action made her wince even more, Moira tried to be caring to all Newbies, but Yumitoko found her irritating.

"Hey", she spat as her body started to fade,"that's not fair."

"Tough, you're holding up the line!"

Yumi went to grab for Moria, but she just smirked as Yumitoko passed straight through her, and soon Yumi was falling in the darkness and she had no idea where she was going or if she'd hit the bottom.
