[Midori is bouncing on the balls of her feet. She really likes this holiday - any holiday where you dress up is good for her!]

Just reminding you to get your Halloween costumes before the stores are out of all the good ones and you have to be a ghost with a sheet over your head! Not that it's bad to be a spooky ghost, but you can be so much more interesting.

If you don't have Halloween in your world, I'll explain what it is if you want!

[Locked to Agatha]
Are you going trick-or-treating?

Huh? Oh, no, not that kind of avatar... I mean, he had a special ability; I should have asked whether you were an "Epitaph User" or something like that instead, I'm sorry...

[aurathread]

... I have no idea what that means, so...

They did want to know how I knew Macha, though.

[virtualbirdwatching]

An Epitaph User is... it's hard to explain. There's a thing called AIDA that's kind of like a bug in The World, and only an Epitaph User can defeat AIDA. I'm one, or... will be, I guess... Haseo said Macha was the name of one of the Epitaphs, though, so I guess that would make the admins interested in you.

[aurathread]

There's a bunch of bugs in The World, but I've never heard of AIDA or Epitaphs. I know about Macha and Aura and the AI who tried to keep me trapped in The World and keep Aura asleep.

[virtualbirdwatching]

AIDA must just be in Revision 2, then...

Still, that's no good if an AI is keeping you from logging out. I have to go through that when I get back, thanks to AIDA.

Helba shut down the server, but I woke up here.

[And he's still not sure what he'd wake up to in the real world, anyway.]

[virtualbirdwatching]

Then maybe you got out! That's great!

[aurathread]

Maybe. Even if I am, it... hasn't really changed much.

[virtualbirdwatching]

I guess not, if you won't remember anything that happened here... but why do you think that?

[aurathread]

Because... well. I don't... remember what things are like for me in the real world... aside from a few flashes of memory. Things are supposed to get better...

[It's just kind of hard to believe.]

[virtualbirdwatching]

...but you're not completely sure of it, are you?

[aurathread]

No. I'm not.

[virtualbirdwatching]

Then maybe you should start at what you know and make it better.
