The final bell rang and all the students went rushing out of the door in a massive burst, on their way home or to hang out with friends. Lorylie didn't even bother getting up from her desk, the homework she was working on was nearly finished and she didn't feel like getting crushed in the hallways full of students.
Once everything seemed to quiet down she finally packed up her stuff and stole out into the hallway. Her destination clear in her mind as she made her way down to the first floor. On the way she past several students talking about various subjects such as sports but she blew past them until she reached the door she was looking for. There were few people around as she opened the door into the computer room that was devoid of life. With relief she moved towards one of the computers, wriggling the mouse a bit to awaken it from its slumber. She was thankful the room was empty because she would hate to explain to a teacher that she was going to do some research on a video game. That would probably get her kicked out of the room faster than she could blink.
The computer finally groaned as it turned on, the older screen slowly coming into focus. Already on it was a search bar for the internet and Lorylie sat down at the station and paused, tapping her fingers gently on the keys without actually pressing them.
What was she going to search? It wasn't like she knew the name of the game, just something about digimon. With a skeptic look, she typed in 'digimon' into the search bar and hit enter, waiting for something to pop up. Multiple listings greeted her eyes but nothing about a game. Returning to the search bar she tried a couple of different searches like 'Monster game', 'MMO's', and even 'Digimon Game', yet still nothing showed up.
Lorylie huffed as she leaned back in her chair, arms folding across her chest. After thinking about it for a while longer she rolled up her sweater sleeves, and tried a couple more times until she typed in the words 'digital monsters'. Suddenly the screen flashed and a window popped up showing a fuzzy image of what looked like a little island. In it strange creatures seemed to roam around, they were rough housing with one another, what looked like training with equipment and even just chatting.
The red head was both stunned and fascinated, but before she could delve any further, the image vanished, the window closing itself.
"Wait, come back!" She found herself calling as she did a quick command to re-open the last closed tab. However she was only greeted with an error noise that left her confused. What was that? Was that the game? Just as she was about to search for it again a letter popped up on screen. Hesitantly Loryie glanced around the room, she didn't have her e-mail open on this computer... As she wondered weather to open it or not she found the mouse moving towards it.
Finally she gave in and clicked it, the letter opening with a flourish to reveal a note, "Greetings potential tamer, you have seen your first glimpse of the digital world!"
Potential tamer? Digital world? Has she accidentally activated the game already? As she wondered about it, she lifted her hand and touched the screen. She wasn't entirely sure why but she felt a strong curious desire to do so. The instant she did the lights in the room went out. Her neck snapped up towards the ceiling but her eyes immediately moved back towards the computer as a bright blue light was shining at her so bright that she had to cover her eyes.
It almost felt as if the light was going to engulf her and she started to feel a tug as she was pulled in. What the hell was happening? She jumped up from her chair and tried to take a couple of steps back but the pull was too strong and in and instant she was swept off her feet and pulled into the computer screen.
