Fire. To begin whipping dance of the dead. Blackened 'til the end.
To begin whipping dance of the dead. Colour the world blackened. Blackened.
Damn, Metallica's so good. Listening to the surround sound of the stereo system at home is sweet. I shut it off, and sat down in front of my laptop.
I just installed the Altimit OS, and I must say that it's even better than what I saw on the official website. Of course, the only reason I use this is to play The World. I haven't played it yet, but from what Mathew and Bobby told me, it seems to be fun.
Sounds perfect. Mathew told me yesterday that we should play on the weekend. It's almost 1 pm now so I better log in.
I put on the visor, and grab the controller. User name and player name? Hmmm...
User name: Jennard
Player name: Jenocide
I confirmed the action, and I logged in. I'll check the BBS later.
Surroundings change. The black screen in front of me gradually changed to some computer generated buildings. I look up to see the blue sky. Damn. I never knew that computer graphics could be this good. I look behind me to see a floating circle rotating slowly. That must be the chaos gate, based on the picture on the manual.
I chose to be a Twin Blade, since Mathew already chose Heavy Blade and Bobby chose Wavemaster. I also know that the legendary .hacker named Kite was also a Twin Blade. So I thought that you can't go wrong with a Twin Blade.
I decided to be fashionable (in a sense). I picked short blue hair and brown eyes. I decided to keep the colour of my skin: dark brown. I kept my height and stature the same, as well. I picked a brown vest worn over a light blue shirt. I have also have light blue pants and brown boots to match my upper garments. I also have two black holsters on my side for my blades. No helmet; one gold earring on my right ear and a wooden crucifix on my chest. I kept my face with no glasses. Why bother changing them?
Mathew mailed me to meet Bobby and him near the bridge at Delta Server Mac Anu, also known as the Aqua Capital.
I walked a few steps to the river, and I bumped into a girl slightly shorter than me.
"Oops...sorry," I apologized.
"Why don't you watch where you're going?" she snarled. She turned away in a hurry toward the chaos gate.
I stood there for a minute. I can't forget those piercing blue eyes that seemed to penetrate mine. She looks beautiful...then I remember that this is all virtual. She might look entirely different in real life (IRL), but still...
Shrugging, I continued to the bridge. Lots of people are here. People were chatting. Some were buying stuff from the stores. Finally I saw them: Mathew and Bobby.
They look exactly like what they told me. Mathew with red paint on his face, bare chest and legs, and wearing red shorts. He tied his long, black hair in a ponytail. He also propped up his huge sword on his shoulder. Bobby's clothing is just interesting. Seeing him in his green robes made me grin a bit. He held a weird-looking staff in his right hand, silver with a red orb on top, adorned with a pattern.
"I know Mathew is Chairman Bond, so who the hell are you supposed to be?" I asked Bobby, pointing a finger at him.
"I'm Ocean Doctor." He replied softly, with his Chinese accent. I burst out laughing.
"All right. I'm Jenocide; Genocide spelled with a J." I said.
"Cool name." Chairman Bond commented, putting his sword in its scabbard.
"So, what are we doing?" I asked. "I don't know anything about this game yet, so you guys better teach me."
Now, Chairman Bond and Ocean Doctor were grinning from ear to ear. Now what?
"What's up with those stupid grins? Is it my hair?" I asked impatiently.
"Jennard, huh? Standing there and staring at a girl." Ocean Doctor said, his robes over his mouth like a sneak.
"Jennard's in love." Chairman Bond said, dancing a little jig.
I blushed a bit, though I didn't think they'd notice because of my dark skin. "S-shut up!" I shouted, "and call me Jenocide!"
"Geez, you're no fun," Chairman Bond shrugged. Then he raised an eyebrow. "You ready?"
"Come on. Let's go." I grinned. I want some action
