Setting: It's 2009, two years into the release of the online game "The World". Ranma is 14, Akane
is 14, Nabiki is 15, and Kasumi is 17. The events
of .Hack//Sign have just started.

:September 21, 2009:
Ranma kept pace behind his father, Genma, as
they walked down a street in Juuban. School had
already started for the year, but Genma figured
it wouldn't be much trouble to catch up a few
weeks of work.
It didn't really matter to Ranma, he just
wanted to get connected to the internet again. It
had been over four years since he was able to get
a connection to the internet. For some reason,
when he tried to connect again in 2006 all he got
was an error message. Now that they'd be staying
in one place, he might be able to solve the
problem.
He missed the information highway, and the
little war between the WNC and internet hackers.
He sometimes dreamed of being like those hackers,
and escaping what some would say is inescapable.
==============================================
:September 21, 2:14PM:
After a short wait, Genma and Ranma were let
into the Principals office. Ranma wasn't really
paying any attention, he was too busy thinking of
two things. How he was going to beat oyaji one
day, and how he could by-pass the connection
error.
He was awoken from his thoughts when Genma
nudged him and told him to go check out room 2A.
He blinked for a second, then figured that the
rest was boring paperwork anyway. He left the
office and made his way up the stairs.
As he approached the top of the stairs, Ranma
paused to think for a second. Genma had been
acting strange lately, he seemed a little nicer.
It was unnerving, and Ranma suspected he had
something planned. Shrugging, he continued, sure
of his ability to take whatever his father could
throw at him.
2A was the first room from the stairs, not that
hard to find. He gave the door a cursory glance
before knocking. The response from inside bid him
to enter, so he opened the door and looked
around. The desks were all empty, and small sleek
computers lay atop each, except the large
teacher's desk, wich had a teacher behind it.
The man with rounded glasses and a business
suit looked at Ranma suriously, before motioning
him over. As Ranma approached he introduced
himself as Takamura and asked what Ranma was
doing here. Introducing himself, Ranma also
answered that he came to check out this room
because he was told to, figuring it was his new
homeroom.
Takamura, now understanding that Ranma must be
a new student, looked the boy over. He noticed
that he carried beside him an old laptop, one
with quite the history by the look of wear on the
outter casing. It was rough featured, and a bit
thicker than normal laptops, so he guessed it to
be some antique.
Standing from his desk, Takamura led Ranma over
to one of the desks, and showed him the computer
on it. This was a great opportunity to show the
new student the in-school equipement and ask about the old computer he had with him. Ranma
didn't feel like telling him anywthing right now,
however and immediately asked if there was an internet connection.
The answer was yes, and that's all he wanted to
know, so he booted up the computer while ignoring
the teachers boring explaination. It started
amazingly fast, as if it barely had anything to
slow it down. When it launched the operating
system, he was going to ask the teacher what the
heck 'Altimit' was, but came up with a more
important question, how do you log onto the
internet?
Giving a slightly confused glance, the teacher
wondered just how ancient the laptop the boy
carried with him was. He actually had to stop to
think about how he was going to answer. He
finally decided to tell him that there were two
basic was to reach the internet, that was the
Mailer, and through The World.
Ranma, not really wanting to look at someone
elses mail, and really just wanting to see what
happened with the WNC, clicked on The World
assuming it was a browser. Takamura was a little
shocked that the boy would just go into somebody
elses account, but then remembered he didn't
seem to know his way around the net.
Staring blankly at the screen, Ranma sat in
mild confusion, the current display not what he
expected of a browser, when the teacher told him
to wait and rushed off to his desk. He pulled out
some kinda headset while saying something about
someone not minding a short tutorial.
The man quickly plugged the headset into the
back of the computer and plopped the fancy hat
upon the boy's unwary head. Without giving the
proper amount of warning, Takamura logged Ranma
into the game, and went off to set-up another
computer for his use. He'd show Ranma around soon
enough, but he did start worrying about sending
him in alone. Too late now though, time to catch
up.

:September 21, 2:32PM:
A man in white robes with red stripes appeared
holding a short staff near what looked like a
small dock inside a rather large city. He looked
around a bit in panic and confusion before
running off in a random direction. He stopped in
front of a lady and man apparently having some
kind of arguement.
"Umm... hello?" Panic, and a bit of hysteria
bled from his voice, "Where am I?"
The agrueing couple, hardly in the best of
moods both retort sharply, "Get lost!"
The man stalked off, muttering, "I am lost..."
under his breath. However, his antics and strange behavior unwittingly caught the eye of someone,
and she started to approach the fellow, intent on
finding out what was going on.

The next chapter is Persona.
AN: If anybody wants to inform me of the real
timing for school semesters, please do so.
And sorry for the somewhat abrupt end to this
chapter, but this was actually the planned
ending.
For those wondering, the laptop is a P4
1.3Ghz, 20Gb HD, 256 Mb RAM, 30x DVD Rom,
implanted general purpose sound and graphics card
and a mouse.(no pad) Remember, Genma got a
discount... But it hardly matter how good it was
at the time, it's like clockwork compared to the
stuff of 2009. Don't think for a second Ranma
will leave the old clunker however.
