001 [] Video :: Arrival

[swordsaintseta]

-ah!

[The feed shows nothing more than the street, but whomever the user is, they seem to have stopped abruptly from their walk. A hand lingers at the edge of the image, then hesitantly pokes at the air.]

Oh, this isn't like the regular status menus at all... I guess it really isn't the same. ...then that must not have been a dream either.

[His finger continues to swipe and prod at the air in front of him, Soujirou himself being oblivious as to how silly he might appear by either perspective. Finally his hand withdraws, the view shifting downwards as he lowers his head with a thoughtful sigh, and one can now catch a glimpse of folded arms and the length of a violet-brown hakama. Someone seems to be dressed a bit traditionally, in any case.]

Hmmm.....

Comments

[swordsaintseta]

Is that so? [He chuckles, amused.]

Soujirou Seta- it's nice to meet you, Teddie!

[teddious]

Yes, I can move very smoothly. [Or at least he likes to think that.]

Ohhh, that sounds like a real samurai name. It's nice to meet you as well.

[swordsaintseta]

Oh, okay... [He's not sure what that has to do with anything.]

I thought it fitting too!

Ah, so do you know much about this place, Teddie?

[teddious]

[Nothing, really. He's just being him.]

Unfortunately, I just arrived here. I am a knowledgeable bear, but I don't know anything about this place. [And he feels lonely!]

[swordsaintseta]

Really? I just found myself here not too long ago as well. It's a little disorienting!

[Aw, don't look sad, bear-thing!]

[teddious]

You tell me, this place is made of confusion, rawwwr.

[Don't worry, Soujiro, it won't last too long.]

[swordsaintseta]

Well that's no good. At least I knew where I was back in Elder Tale.

Hmm...

[Oh, that was quick!]

[teddious]

Elder Tale? What's that? Is that some kind of food?

[But when he was in it.. wouldn't that be just weird?]

[swordsaintseta]

It's an online game! An MMORPG- have you heard of it before?

[teddious]

An Mmor- ouch. [He totally didn't bit his tongue now, nope.]

I don't think I've heard about it before.

[swordsaintseta]

[And that isn't Soujirou trying to stifle a laugh, no sir!]

MMORPG - Massive multiplayer online role-playing game. Elder Tale's quite popular back home, especially in Japan! Although...well, I'm not sure what happened exactly, but a lot of us were somehow brought into that game world. Oh, but it's really amazing!

[teddious]

[Inwardly, it gets him perhaps a little down, but it weighs out seeing someone happy. He is willing to be a clown, after all!]

Massive multiplayer... wow that word is so long. I don't think I can remember that.

[His eyes widen a bit.]

You were brought into the game world.. like.. you entered the internet? [He knew at least what online means!]

[swordsaintseta]

Well, that's why we shorten it to MMORPG. I'm surprised I even remember what it stands for since it's usually abbreviated!

...hmm, kind of? But it's like we woke up in an entirely realistic world based off of the game we played. You can feel and taste and smell things!

[teddious]

I'm not surprised people abbearivate it. This is really hard to remember. [Both of it! He'll find a way to remember it, though.]

Holy moly, that sounds bad. [But it sounded a bit different than his own world. It didn't look... or perhaps the world has formed itself because all the players thought of the game world?] Were you attacked?

[swordsaintseta]

Attacked? Well, no, but we had to go rescue some new Adventurers. There are monsters around, after all. The cities are generally safe zones, but going out and around the lands beyond, you can run into anything!

But my guildmates and I are all level 90, so at least we can handle most of the monsters in the area, no problem!

[teddious]

This... [Didn't really make sense. Not with his world, anyways. Perhaps they landed in another world and his world was really just related to the people of Inaba?]

L-level 90? That's extremely high.

[swordsaintseta]

It is! It was the level cap for the game, or at least it was until the latest expansion. Maybe it's possible to get to level 100 now.

[teddious]

So you were basically maxed out? You must really like that game.

[swordsaintseta]

Mn, that's right. I guess it's obvious from that.

[He laughs.]

[teddious]

Too bad this game doesn't exist here. [He's all curious now!]

[swordsaintseta]

Wherever here is...

[teddious]

Yes. [Teddie sniffs internally. He hasn't seen anyone he knows around yet, which leads him to the question...]

Have you seen anyone you know?

[swordsaintseta]

....no, not a one. Maybe they weren't called here.

[teddious]

Hmm. Why us, though? [Was there any meaning behind it? Something he just couldn't grasp?]

[swordsaintseta]

I don't know...

Hey Teddie-san, do you remember anything before you found yourself here?
