{Sari: Lv. 5 Blademaster/Wavemaster, Sari is a new player in the world, but he's different from all other new players in several ways. Firstly, he doesn't remember ever logging into "The World" and can't log out due to error messages nobody's ever seen before. Second, he has no memory of his past. For all he knows, the game could be a reality. He claims he just woke up one day with his weapon in hand.}
{Crimson Cross: Lv. 99 Blademaster/Wavemaster Weapon, Sari appeared in "The World" holding this item. Even though it has a rediculously high level, it really doesn't do much of anything for Sari's stats. It also has a habit of randomly creating things, such as items or enemies, out of the blue for no apparent reason. Somehow, it also allows Sari to travel to different areas without the use of a Chaos Gate, but Sari really doesn't understand how it lets him do this.}
Sari awoke and glanced around blearily. He was in the church again. He always woke up in the church. Why? He didn't know. The church was where he had awoken when he first appeared in "The World." He got up and stretched briefly. The cross was lying on the floor. As he leaned down to pick it up, he realized what had awoken him: someone was calling his name.
{Rhapsody: Lv. 10 Blademaster/Twinblade/Wavemaster, Rhapsody is a hacked character, but none of the admins want to try deleting her. Her pure insanity scares most people, but Sari can somehow stand it. It's a known fact that Rhapsody's player is, in fact, male, and delights in the fact that he has a skimpily-clad female character to play as. The player behind Rhapsody goes by the name of jrcoms, thus Sari's habit of calling him JR, if only to remind himself that Rhapsody is really a guy.}
Rhapsody: Sari! I know you're in here!
Sari ducked back down. He had just woken up... dealing with JR was too much right now.
Rhapsody: Get out here right now, you lazyass!
Sari sighed. He knew JR wouldn't go away until he came out, and what would happen if he made him wait too long may be worse than just coming out now. He slowly rose to his feet and pretended he had just woken up, which was pretty easy seeing as he just had. He turned to JR and rubbed sleep from his eyes. He yawned.
Sari: What do you want JR?
Rhapsody came bounding up and whacked him across the head with her fist. Sari cried out and rubbed the spot.
Sari: What the hell was that for!?!
Rhapsody: How many times have I told you NOT to call me JR? Huh? How many times?
Sari began to count on his fingers, which earned him another blow. He laughed as he rubbed it.
Sari: Too many times. I don't see what the problem is.
Rhapsody: The problem is this: I want to be called Rhapsody, because that's who you're talking to. Get it?
Sari: No. I'm talking to a pervert that enjoys drooling over his own character. Why should I refer to you by your character's name?
Rhapsody made to hit him again, but didn't. She sighed.
Rhapsody: Nevermind. It's not worth arguing with you about.
Sari: Why'd you wake me up anyway? For that matter... how'd you know I'd be here?
Rhapsody flashed an insane smile and winked at him.
Rhapsody: A little birdie told me you were going to go rest. You always end up here when that happens.
Sari winced at the wink he recieved.
Sari: You know I don't like when you do that.
Rhapsody: Do what?
She was playing innocent. To further prove this, she whirled her back around to him, making her skirt fly up, exposing her panties for a brief moment.
Sari: That! It makes people question they're sexuality when they know you're male.
Rhapsody: Hahaha! Just think of it as the character, and not the player.
Sari: I guess. I'm sure you do crap like that to please yourself, just as much as to arouse others.
Rhapsody laughed some more, then turned back to Sari. Her skirt lifted again, but Sari tried very hard to ignore it this time.
Sari: So why'd you come get me anyway?
Rhapsody: There's a contest I thought you'd like to enter.
Sari: Since when do you care about events?
Rhapsody: Now that's not a nice thing to say.
Rhapsody feigned a sad expression. Sari didn't fall for it.
Sari: Yeah, sure. What's the event about?
Rhapsody: A blade competition!
Sari: Great, but I'm sure there'll be tons of high level players there that won't let people like us get very far.
Rhapsody: Uh-uh. The prize is too small for them. It'll be mostly weak players.
Sari: Like us.
Rhapsody hit him again. Sari was sure this wasn't good for his head, but it hadn't effected him that much yet.
Sari: Jeez. What's the prize then?
Rhapsody: First place gets to choose any weapon or armor under Lv. 20. Second gets to choose any weapon or armor under Lv. 10.
Sari reviewed his and Rhapsody's armor briefly.
Sari: All mine's above 20 anyway. And the only reason your's isn't is because you wear stuff like... that.
He pointed toward the skirt.
Rhapsody: This?
She lifted it away, and this time there wasn't anything Sari could do NOT to see her panties. She let it drop back down after awhile. She grinned evilly at Sari.
Rhapsody: Yeah, but it gets reactions like your's just now.
Sari fumbled for an answer, but, finding none, decided to change the subject.
Sari: So why should I participate if I don't need to?
Rhapsody: For one, your level is pathetic. You could use this chance to level up some.
Sari: Yeah, I guess so.
Rhapsody: Plus, you can enter to improve my chances of getting the armor I want.
Sari: What armor is that?
Sari regretted asking as soon as he finished saying it.
Rhapsody: The infamous "Wet T-shirt Armor!"
Sari: What the hell!?! I seriously want to know who's creating all this armor you keep going after.
Rhapsody: So would I. I think he'd be an interesting guy to meet.
Sari glared at him. Rhapsody's grin widened.
Rhapsody: What?
Sari: Nothing. Nevermind.
Rhapsody: So? Let's go!
Sari: Again, should I really help you get anything with "wet t-shirt" in it's name?
Rhapsody: Of course you should!
Sari: I figured you'd say that.
Rhapsody: One thing though... you might want to get a different weapon. That thing doesn't do anything for you, but it's level alone could get you tons of trades, and even more cash.
Sari: No way in hell. I wouldn't get rid of this thing for anything.
Rhapsody: How do you expect to fight in a blade competition then?
Sari moved with a speed that Rhapsody couldn't see coming. In seconds, the edge of the long end of the cross was pressed against Rhapsody's neck. Rhapsody swallowed nervously, which made her neck push onto the cross. When Sari pulled it away, there was a fine cut on Rhapsody's neck.
Sari: Still think it's not a blade?
Rhapsody punched him in the face, sending him sprawling onto the church's floor. She sprayed some healing potion onto the cut, then stood over him with her hands on her hips.
Rhapsody: If you EVER do anything like that again... I'll have to... I don't know, kiss you or something!
Sari: Oh! Please no! Anything but that!
Rhapsody: Knowing you, you'd forget I was a guy if I did that. Maybe I should do that right now.
Sari scrambled away frantically. A multicolored portal appeared in front of him.
Sari: Heh. See you at the competition then JR!
Without any other words, he jumped into the portal, which swallowed him up, then disappeared itself. Rhapsody was left in the room by herself.
Rhapsody: That asshole! I'll show him!
Rhapsody gated out as another player walked in. The player looked around, then sat in one of the church pews. Her long black hair fell around her face as she bowed her head. She prayed silently, then got up to leave. Someone else entered the church.
Katal Blader: You still come here everyday?
Naraya: It's been 5 years since the trouble with "The World" was resolved. All the coma victims woke up, but Sarius hasn't returned. I come here to pray that even if he doesn't return, that he be safe and happy wherever he is.
Katal Blader: ...
Naraya: So why did you come?
Katal Blader: I was coming to check out a rumor. It doesn't matter though, the person I was looking for isn't here.
Naraya: Then you'll be leaving now.
Katal Blader: Yes.
Naraya: I guess I'll see you later then.
Katal Blader: Yeah. Later.
Katal gates out. Naraya takes a last look around the church. She saves the address, Delta Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground, in her Word List Folder, then gates out herself.
