To: Eria
From: Odin
I have no idea what's going on with this PC at all. It could be a bug, or a virus, or something altogether different.
If you know anyone who's good at analyzing these sorts of things, could you give me their member address?
He then sat on the floor of the room, looking up at the monster,'Docile? Harmless? Unwilling to fight? That's an outright fallacy. There's evidently something wrong with that creature.' Odin glared at the beast for a few seconds, before he heard someone else speak,[/color]'I agree.' Turning around rapidly in an attempt to spot the person who'd said that, he saw no-one. A hacker? Penetrating his thoughts? No way. He was probably daydreaming. He then turned back to the monster, the hexagon on his head still glowing a soft yellow, yet now pulsating, almost like the beating of a heart.
(Well, it looks like Gamerkale is going to miss out on the big event. Too bad for him.)
"Who I am and what I do is none of your business!" Avantha yelled to the others, ignoring all of their questions. "Just get out of here! He does not deserve to be harassed by people like you!"
"Are you kidding?" said Kali. "That thing tried to murder us. How could you be defending it?"
"He would never do that," said Avantha. "He's not that kind of person. The only reason he would attack you is if you attacked him first. You're the ones who tried to commit murder."
"Are you kidding me?" said Kali. "This is just a game. Are you seriously going to overreact like that? It's a monster and we kill it. That's what you're supposed to do in a game. It's not like that thing is actually alive."
Kali waved her staff towards Lveathn as if to give emphasis to her point, but the beast jumped back at once as if believing the girl was going to attack it again. It thrust its arms forward again, knocking all the players back into the opposite wall. Kali cast another spell as soon as she could, repelling the flaying tentacles with a wall of fire.
"Stop it!" Avantha yelled as Kali prepared to attack again. "Just stop it right now!" She looked back and forth between the beast and the group, unsure of what to do. "I said stop!" she yelled, raising both hands towards the group. A large purple barrier appeared around them at once, trapping them in place--a skill nobody should have been able to possess. Kali ran forward and banged on the wall, but was not able to get through it.
"Hey, what the hell did you do?" asked Kali.
But Avantha didn't answer. Her attention had turned to Lveathn, he had turned around and was walking away. "Wait!" she cried after it. "Don't go. It's okay. Nobody's going to hurt you."
The beast ignored her cries, and after a few seconds it had walked through a wall and disappeared. Avantha looked back at the group, hesitated, and then gated out. As soon as she was gone the barrier around the group vanished.
Eria chuckled as she watched the barrier vanish along side Lveathn and Avantha. "Well, it's not every day you get to see a skill like that. Our mystery thickens..." Eria said semi-jokingly with a laugh as she looked toward her team mates. "I know this is going to sound weird, but would you two be willing to stay quiet above that girl and monster? I.... have a bad feeling.... And I don't like getting people banned, either. Would you both mind too much? I'll take responsibility if we get in trouble for not telling, okay?"

"I told you that she was a hacker.... Guys, let's invite that girl to our party as an eye witness, then use the item to go back to that room, we can get that other player banned and get her fined IRL, we can also give her a free pass to the phycologist" he then walked to Kali "The name's Seige, nice to meet ya', don't worry about this stuff, it happens to us a lot.... Nah just kidding" he smiled playfully, then turned to odin and Eria "So?, do we tell her?"
No one can escape time, it delivers us all to the same end. You can't plug your ears and cover your eyes.
Odin was about to send another flash message, but then realized it would be pointless if all he was going to do was reply to a yes or no question. He shook his head from side to side, indicating that he was obviously against the extortion of other PCs for no apparent reason. Plus, he felt that-given that he himself was using an apparently bugged PC-there was absolutely no justification whatsoever for getting someone into trouble with the admins. He stood up, then gestured to Eria and Seige, holding the house key up in front of him as he did so.
Kali was silent for a moment, unable to form any words after what she had just witnessed. Then everything the others had said clicked in her mind, and she turned to them with a suspicious look. "Tell me what?" she said, and eyed the key in Odin's hand. "And what exactly is that for? What are you guys up to...?"
But before anyone could answer the room flashed with a bright light. When the light faded, a man had appeared in the center of the room. It was obvious he was an admin by the fact that he was floating in midair. "I am Zambwa," he said, his voice echoing through the room as if it came from the walls. "We have recently received information regarding the illegal manipulation of core game mechanics. Explain your actions now or risk having action taken against your accounts."
"Ok, i'll tell you the truth" he walked to the admin and looked at him with a challengin' look on his face "Two admins called us, taked us to a hidden room in mac anu, told us to investigate a 'Secret door' in this area, a bug appeared, then a player with it, the bug tryied to kill us all, the player-who is actually a girl- defended the bug with a shield-like skill then dissappeared along with the monster, is it ok with you?" he got closer grinning

((Sorry for not posting. I passing out and have been sleeping for the last 12-16 hours.))
Eria sighed. It was said. But then, it couldn't be helped since it had been either Avantha or them and survival-not to mention their wallets-dictated to preserve themselves first. But this did pose a problem for her. Unlike Seige, who seemed all about getting Avantha and Lveathn banned and erased respectively, Eria was actually curious about them. She wanted to know more about them, meaning that she kinda needed them walking and talking. Not pursued by the System Administration, making finding them difficult if not impossible. This would be a problem indeed.

Toshiro logged into the world with a yawn. He arrived in mac Anu noticing that he had a new message. "....Hmmm is that so...well I suppose it wouldn't hurt if I met up with him for a little while today.." Toshiro wandered over to the chaos gate and put in the words Delta: Quiet Eternal Nothingness. ERROR PROTECTED AREA!!!!Toshiro stood the silently for a moment thinking. He seems like a regular player so how did he get into a protected area? Or perhaps this is the dealings of the Admins again...They can block any area when ever they choose stopping players from leaving or entering...This doesn't look good... Then interupting his train of thought was Avantha the twin blade Toshiro had met before. She had just warped into Mac Anu. The girl didn't take her time to say any rude coments though Toshiro was prepared if she did.She seemed hurt and upset for some reason. Toshiro immediatley stopped what he was doing and grabed her arm before she could take off. "Well what do you know I was just looking for you." He said with a goofy grin on his face. " Why don't you come with me to an area? I promise you wont regret it. Its the best place ever no one else knows about it, but me." he said seeming slightly sad with the last words.
"Welcome to Dullsville-Bigger than a cave, but small enough to feel claustrophobic! A population of 8,000 look-alikes, that's Dullsville."
((Yeah, sorry about that guys. Thanks for trying to wait on me.))
D-=Scythe had managed to slip into the room almost immediately after Avantha had erected the barrier. She kept to the back of the room, watching from the doorway the others were all too distracted with each other to notice little old her. James muted his mic, "Lveathn. Never seen one of those before, but why does that name bug me? Didn't much look like any leviathan I've ever heard of and Avantha seemed quite desperate for it to stay. I wonder wh- No. Could it? The coincidence is just too convenient. Blast, if only I'd arrived sooner maybe I could have asked Avantha about... Actually, it's probably better that I had to work." Around the time he finished talking to himself the sys. admin showed up. Talking ensues... This group was brought together by admins to investigate this? I'm not sure if I should be insulted they didn't contact me since I openly said I was investigating something on the forums or relieved they weren't keeping tabs on me. Well, that's probably about to change.
He turned his mic back on and she walked into the room proper, there was no point in trying to avoid notice now, that admin would certainly know she was there. "Hey, Kali." D-=Scythe looked around the room. "Looks like I'm a tad late to the party. I take it I've missed her? And all of this" She gestured to the mass of people, "is because of her?"
"We are not jumping off this roof to our deaths!
We're jumping off that roof to our deaths. It's got a tree."-Thaco
Odin looked at D-=Scythe with a calm expression, gesturing to her that it would be best if she didn't get involved, but judging by how Zambwa reacted to her appearance within the dungeon, enough had been said for her to become tangled in the same rope that he-and everyone else in the room-had been ensnared with. He was about to address the admin out of habit, but then remembered his position and changed his gesture into something less suspicious. He held up the House Key again, glaring at Zambwa with a stern expression. He was hoping that he wouldn't have to justify himself after what Seige had said, but just to be sure he had decided that giving some proof of everyone's situation would be the best option. He placed his free hand behind his back, making gestures to Eria with the intent to say,'If he asks about Kali and The other one, tell them we just forgot to add them to our party when we originally left Mac Anu.'
Waiting for a response, Gibken continued into Mac Anu walking around. Upon arrival he was face to face with two certain PCs. A female Twin Blade and a really female looking Heavy Blade. Walking past them, he noticed that the Heavy Blade seemed to be muttering about an area.
Well what do you know I was just looking for you. Why don't you come with me to an area? I promise you wont regret it. Its the best place ever no one else knows about it, but me."
Turning around half a glance he managed to catch the Twin Blade's name on the status bar.
Av..Avantha?! That's the PC the forum's all over right now right?
He walked up to the pair and spoke out, "Hey you're Avantha right?"
(Been busy the past few days with work, school, setting up my deviantart account, and still trying to get this damn book published. Don't worry, I'm not forgetting about this, but I won't be able to post until tomorrow since I don't have the time right now. Yay for so-called holiday weekends...)
Voltic, still in search of a party happened to notice a heavy blade and twin blade standing together. Together the three of them could most likely power through any obstacle; he wouldn't miss this chance. Minerva was now easily within his reach. However, he was too slow and another Long Arm reached the duo. "Damn!" Voltic pressed forward regardless, "Hey guys!" Voltic now said addressing any or all three of the group he stood before. "Listen, I-I'm kinda looking for someone to party up with for a dungeon, any of ya interested?" Chiaki didn't talk so well with others, he wasn't anti social; he did, however, hate not knowing that someone knew him offline, and it caught him off guard more than once.
((Twin-Blade is Avantha, Heavy Blade, Toshiro and Long Arm - Gibken.))
No matter how high the wall. No matter how thick. My love surmounts them all. Like a bird. Flying to you. Forever and ever.
Zambwa's eyes opened wide at the sight of the House Key. "Where did you get a universal teleporter?" he said. "I am one of the lead administrators, and I do not recall any plans to assign normal unqualified players with the task of debugging an area. We usually only assign players to test our in-development encounters and nothing more. And according to my logs, everyone who has been in this room during the event is still present a this time. Your story does not look very promising. If you wish to convince me I require some names."
Avantha staggered back in surprise at the sudden approach of three people. She was silent for a moment, her shocked face unable to form any words. "Why won't you people just leave me alone?" she said. She sighed and turned to Toshiro. "Is it so hard to see that I don't want to talk to anyone? Fine then. If I go with you to this stupid area will you promise to just leave me alone after?"
Toshiro smiled the same cheesey smile again, "Ok then lets go! Here send me your member adress so that we can be in the same party and go together that way." He smiled "Here's mine." Toshiro gave her his member address. "The area name is delta Hidden Eternal Melody. I promise you won't regret it besideds I don't think you really want to be bothered by those guys right now." He grinned looking at the other pc 's. "Come on lets hurry up and get out of here." he said while leading her hastily to the chaos gate.
"Welcome to Dullsville-Bigger than a cave, but small enough to feel claustrophobic! A population of 8,000 look-alikes, that's Dullsville."
Great, this it going just perfect. We've been had... Eria thought to herself as she tried to keep her carefree smile going. It wasn't working very well. "You already can see our names, so I won't waste your time with introducing ourselves. A little while ago in Mac Anu, We were approached by two Admins that asked for our help in discovering a white room in this area," Eria explained before pausing to think. "I... think they said their names were... Halford and... Halfus?" she finished, hoping this would work.

Voltic's character wore his helmet, but offline Chiaki stuck his tongue out at the screen. 'Stupid Heavy Blade...' He glanced towards the man to his side, his player name read Gibken. "Well doesn't that suck?" Voltic shrugged his shoulders and turned to the side, "If you really want her that bad I suggest you chase after her." A heavy axemen lady appeared behind Voltic, giving him a hard shove."Move it armor freak!"Voltic tried to remain calm, this was his sister after all, she was just trying to get him bothered. "I didn't think I was in your way." He turned to face a player named Crystel 3gg. "It's a pleasure to see you again.""Wanna party-""No. Go away."
No matter how high the wall. No matter how thick. My love surmounts them all. Like a bird. Flying to you. Forever and ever.
D-=Scythe stood quietly next to Kali. There wasn't really much she could do right now. Whether he believes it or not, doesn't matter. Avantha was here, I saw her. Wait, I saw her. James checked his computer, the recording program was going. If things get serious I do have that footage to back up the story. Good thing I wanted to have the ability to review what happened. Still, these folks have that universal teleporter thingamabob and they just named a couple of admins. While that isn't hard to do he should just need to ask them to get confirmation, assuming of course they want to corroborate the story. Or check the item's history, they do have that ability, don't they? Deathscythe wandered over to where Lveathn had appeared. Nothing seemed out of place. It seemed unlikely that he would use the same trick twice, but assides from listening to the others debate with Zambwa she didn't have anything more interesting or pressing to do. She activated a fairy's orb and was unsurprised when nothing happened. Wish there were a locked door to try a fortune wire on.
