Disclaimer: I do not own anything of Gundam Wing. I don't make a profit off of it or anything.
I do not own Trisphee! I may be a mod, I may design some items but I don't own it. I get nothing out of this.. except maybe a few new friends.
Authors Note: I'm surprised at how well every one likes this fic. I am going to continue it! Well.. that was somewhat decided last chapter when I put a small summery for chapter 2 down.
Remember Trisphee is a REAL site and this is my way of spreading word about it. It's a fun and cute way of getting word out!
In my last chapter I sort of made it a small manual of getting started but I left out how to make an avatar. I did that for a reason. And you'll find out later in the fic.
Summary: While playing an MMO, Duo finds out about a new avatar site. Intrigued by this site he checks it out and joins only to have his life turned upside down by a few other users. 1x2, 3x4, 5x6. Yaoi. You have been warned.
Dedicated to – Saiyouri, Lauv Keiko, Lucid, #FFFFFF, and Coda! And also to the 2 people from that joined the site. I thank you, and I hope you enjoy the fanfic and the site.
This chapter is for the two of you. You know who you are. :heart:
Thank you Lucid for looking over the fic and watching out for my mistakes.
Chapter 2
Cracking
The next day found Duo during free period. He sat in the computer room that was built for free period students who didn't have computers at home, but a lot of students used the computers to play around online instead of doing homework. The room itself was a dull green color, windows were present but the shades were always closed. The teacher that supervised this room was Duo's first period teacher, and one of his favorite teachers, Mr. Trieze Khushrenada. His sandy blond hair was always combed back, he wore neatly pressed suits, and his eyebrows were just as well groomed as the rest of the man.
Next to Duo was his friend Quatre. He had platinum blond hair that tended to shine more then any other hair color out there, Aqua blue eyes that could make anyone give into the boy's whims, pale porcelain like skin that made him look like some sort of china doll that was meant for display only. He wore light pinks and blue shirts with bourbon colored vests and khaki pants. The colors really complimented his skin tone.
"I just took notice that your hair isn't in its usual braid; why is that?" The aqua eyes watched the chestnut hair in wonder. Duo always had his hair in a braid. It was a weird day when it wasn't.
"One of the foster kids hit puberty recently and thinks it's a good idea to hog the bathroom in the morning even though he knows I need to shower before school." Duo replied. "Seriously, you'd think he'd listen to me when I tell him his hand would work much better than freezing his ass off in a cold shower. Anyway I didn't have time to dry or braid my hair this morning because of him and so I just put it up in a pony tail and ran." Duo shrugged. He'd braid it later when there weren't many people around. Letting someone see his hair not pulled back in some way made him feel naked and anxious.
"Ah, I see. It's weird seeing it out of its braid. Too bad you don't let it hang completely. It's so beautiful when it's down." Quatre stated. He got to see Duo's hair down a few times, and got to brush it once. The benefits of friendship. "Earlier you said you had something to show me. Well show me, show me!"
Duo smiled. In first period he had asked his friend if he had ever heard of avatar sites. Surprisingly to the violet eyed boy, Quatre was a huge fan of the pixel people. He turned to the computer in front of him and brought up the browser the school used. Typing into the address bar "www . Trisphee . com" he brought up the home page. It talked about the new monthly items and the Taskal War event that was going on. It was then he noticed, on the screen there was a crack on the white part of the page. The teal boarders weren't affected but the white had cracks on it.
"This is.. Trisphee.. I am not one hundred percent sure how it's pronounced but I'm sure it's Tris-fee.. with that ph sounding like an f. I'll ask that chick I met last night." Duo clicked on the tab that led to the forums, and showed his blond friend his sucky avatar and how nice everyone was to him. It was there he saw a few more people had posted to welcome him.
"Hello there and welcome to Trisphee! It looks like Nikko and DK got to you before I could. I'm Lucid. I hope you enjoy it here and I hope you stay a long long time."
Lucid's post seemed warm and welcoming and it made him smile. Her avatar had a mixture of many of the common store items, most of them bright and colorful. A pink item stuck on her chest while a orange-ish color was underneath. Sky blue items over top orange bottoms brought out some sort of flavor. Her avatar reminded him of a pack of starbursts.
A few of the other posts where pretty much the same thing, Welcome to Trisphee, enjoy your stay, so on. He showed Quatre how to make a avatar, talking about layering and making it look wicked cool.
"I love how the avatar and items are pixeled. I'm gonna join!" Quatre turned to his own computer and went to the site. Filling out the registration page, using Deathscythe as his referrer. And soon enough he was a member, surfing the site and posting.
While Quatre got a hang of the site, Duo went in to the helping hand and asked about the cracks on the white part of the page. Demonskid popped up almost instantly and answered him. This time, her avatar didn't look like a whore or anything. She had the blond hair she had on the night before. A black tank top covered with a dark red coat, Black pants with red boots. Her ears were the Fenrir ears and same with the tail. They too were red and black. Demonskid's eyes were two different colors. One was blue the other was red.
"The cracks are from the war. The worlds are falling apart! It's awesome. :3"
Well that made sense. The war destroying the worlds.. especially if the leaders of this war are very powerful beings. Duo replied to the girl.
"Ah thanks.. your stalking me aren't you! XD" and just as fast as before, DK replied.
"Not at all! As a baby mod I only really get to move posts, answer questions, and close threads.. I can ban spam bots with my spam bot ban hammer.. anything other then that I can't do yet. I'm so new at being a mod I am scared I'm gonna screw up. Haha! That and I said I was always on." Her reply was light and heartfelt. Seconds later he got a message at the top of his screen saying he had a message on his profile.
Clicking on his name, he was taken to the profile page. It was pretty obvious this site was new. The profile pages were plain and you couldn't customize them or add much of anything to them. Under his name was a bar with tabs on them. "Visitor Messages, About Me, Statistics, Friends, and Contact Info," He scrolled down to see the message left on his profile. It was Quatre's Sandrock.
"Hehe Popped your Profile Comment cherry!" Duo was in awe.. He didn't even know they could leave messages on profiles. He clicked on Quatre's name and saw that he already had 15 posts.
"You're a natural at this site.. already posting like crazy.. I'm still trying to find my way around!" Duo whined.
"I actually really love avatar sites. They give me a way to escape reality for a while. That and I find the little pixel dolls adorable and fun to dress up in." the aqua eyed boy replied.
On the other side of the row, another person was watching the two play around on the avatar site, fussing about hair, and clothing. Frowning he typed in the address on his own computer to see what the fuss was about. It was an avatar site, something his sister would seem to love. Dressing up dolls and talking about some type of fashion.
Normally he wouldn't be caught dead on something like this site, but he figured boredom was more deadly than this site. Onyx colored eyes glared at the color of the page. Teal.. normally the worst color to ever use in his opinion, was brought out pretty well on the site. Eyebrows shot up almost touching his hair when he saw how detailed the avatar bases were.. a bit more detailed they would have looked more like little porn figures. Add nipples here.. a package there.. a crack there and yea.. they would have been too detailed.
He read the announcement about the event and then went to join. Maybe this site will take away his boredom.
Duo then let out a small growl which caught the listeners attention.
"Feathers are so hard to get! I want a Fenrir bundle.. the ears and tail are awesome lookin. Red and black are defiantly me." Duo ranted on and on about feathers and swords, the eavesdropper tuned him out so he could concentrate on the website. He found Duo's welcome post and decided to play with the boy's head.
"Hello, I'm Shenlong and I'm new too. How do I make a avatar?" The onyx eyed boy sighed and played with his short tight ponytail. His name was Wufei Chang. He had tan skin, and raven black hair. Wufei was part of the school's basketball team, and one of the teams best members. The boy refreshed the page to find that 'Deathscythe' had replied, following a 'Sandrock.' Both told him to go up to the avatar tab and make a base, then to go shopping for the free items located in 'Threads' and 'Trinkets and Tresses.'
When his avatar refused to save he got a bit pissed. Wufei directed himself to the Error Report forum and posted about his problem. Seconds later someone called 'Coda' answered him. Coda's avatar had short brown hair and green clothes. It also had this weird bird thing on his head and had blue cyber looking lines running over his body. It reminded him a bit of the Tron movies.
"Try clearing your cache, then refreshing your browser. If that doesn't work try logging off then back in. Tell me if neither of those work and I'll look into it further, but normally one of those will solve the problem."
After clearing his catch as Coda said and tried once more. Finally his avatar saved and he thanked the person who helped him.
The bell rang signaling the period was over. As everyone shuffled out, Wufei logged out of the site after writing down his information and the site name. Duo and Quatre were in front of him as he exited the computer room.
"Haha I really find myself in love with the NPC Azeil. His relationship with Asura is very amusing." Duo remarked through giggles.
"I am gonna save up feathers for a Zephyr bundle. I want the kitty ears and tail. How long is the event again?" Quatre asked. Wufei suspected Quatre to be the user Sandrock.
"I don't know.. Um sometime at the end of this month I think. I'll ask that Demonskid chick or Lucid tonight after I finish my homework." Duo answered. The two split to go to their next class.
Wufei followed Duo, since his next class happened to be science with Mrs. Une, and Duo happened to be in this class. Luckily Heero and Trowa were in this class as well. Maybe they could kill some time and poke fun at the braided boy, who didn't have his signature braid today.
Sorry its so short. I tried to make it longer. The first time around I started it.. I got to about.. half way through Duo's morning, reread what I wrote and I nearly fell asleep. So I changed it to where he's in his 6th period class with Quatre and stuff..
The schools where I live had 7 periods plus lunch so that is what I am going by.
I tried to make coda sound like coda.. Coda is super smart and its hard for me to mimic him.
Lucid Note:I totally fixed your Coda-post for you. :3
Lucid is always changing her Avatar so I just went with something I feel she either wore at one point.. or will eventually wear.
Lucid Note:I would totally wear an avatar like that sometime, but during the war I dressed as a gunblade master with mostly neutral colors.
Quatre is Sandrock
Duo is Deathscythe
Wufei is Shenlong
I'm going after their Gundam's names if you haven't noticed.
Next chapter is going to take place at the beginning of January.. right now they are about.. December 12th. (not long after I became staff) Heero and Trowa catch Wufei on Trisphee and poke fun at him before he gets them to join. Quatre donates a crap load to the site and gives half of his runes to Duo. (I really wish Q was real and donated to the site ;-; ) Wufei doesn't tell his friends Duo and Quatre are on the site.
