Chapter 2- Enter Password, Kawaiikunee03

It was a beautiful Saturday in November, with the sky clear with only a few puffy clouds visible. As the birds chirped, Nerima became alive with people going to school, to work, to play. It was the beginning of a new day, with new adventures and new friends, in a way.

As the sound of Kasumi's "Hai" and Ranma's departure floated past the duck guarding Akane's room, she woke up groggily. She opened her bleary eyes as her mind noted that she had homework to do as well. Of course, all thoughts of homework and Ranma disappeared as the scent of breakfast permeated the room.

Quickly changing out of her pajamas, she rushed down the stairs, eager to eat Kasumi's cooking. At the same time, the rest of the Tendo's came down for breakfast as well.

With a loud itadakimasu, the family dug into the food. Nabiki was the first to look up, and notice Ranma's disappearance. Eyeing the room, she inquired, "Where's Ranma, shouldn't he be here eating the lion's share of the food?" The others looked around, wondering the same thing.

"Oh, he said that he needed to do something at the library, he might be back later", Kasumi answered.

The family nodded, in the last couple of months Ranma had actually started paying attention to school, and was taking it seriously. Being at the library wasn't really a surprise, as he had taken these trips every few weekends for a while.

At the mention of the library, Akane stood up, her plate empty. Remembering she had her own stuff to do, she excused herself from the table, and went upstairs to her room. It hadn't changed much over the years, with various weapons and instruments of bakabashing as well as some plushies and other items she owned. The only noticable change was the computer on a corner of her desk, for schoolwork and fun.

Breezing though the pages of her textbook, and finishing up her essays, Akane relaxed. Now that that work was taken care of, she could do a different kind of work. Getting up from the computer, she packed her homework away and locked the door. No use having unwelcome intrusions while she was playing, especially since she wasn't sure how those she knew would react to her playing.

Password: Kawaiikunee03

Password correct, logging in.

Smiling happily, Akane opened her eyes to see the crowd of people scattered around the area, as the virtual sun shone, easily matching the real world she had escaped.

Two more Enter Password chapters to go, at least (Ukyo and Ryoga). Yes, they will start and end very similar, you might want to wait until a chapter without Enter Password before reading it carefully, or you might go crazy and try to get me...Leaving out big details on purpose, will be filled later, if they aren't yell at me and poof they will be edited in.

The plotline after the EP chapters are over isn't really set. Here's some notes, ideas:

-Ranma/Akane/Ukyo/Ryoga will be in, and will sometime meet and...do something :P, not gonna outline everything, just major details...

-May add side story about how each of them discovered and started to play in The World. In fact, I will do these, in between somewhere, they'd be fun to write.

-They will be strong, not lv1 Ranko, they will be at least double digits. Not that it matters, lv1 Ranko could probably wreck loads without benefits game gives. Will try not to uberize everyone and make them indestructable. Prologue gave me a lot of leeway with loads of things, I did that for a reason.

-May add in Shampoo,Mousse,Cologne,Happosai,etc (rest of NWC, major characters) but don't count on it.

-Yes, passwords ARE stupid, didn't really think of good ones. Remember, the stupid passwords can't be hacked in real life :D

-Thinking of online names for them, might just use their real names, except for Ranko. Reasons later...

-Personalites will be different than normal, but not much. (thus the name, Online Personalities, duh)

Anyone have any suggestions for the plotline, tell me, but I have a general idea. May post more specific info next chapter.

As always, comment if you wish, will try to get past boring EP chaps fast. (stupid school, using up my precious mental abilities) Bear with me, every chapter so far written and posted after 10:30...
