1st Word: Greeting [video]

[There is a blond woman with a poofy-looking hat on the display. She speaks, however, in a voice that sounds a bit too high-pitched for the speaker.]

Hello, everyone!

I got here a few days ago, and I'm not really sure what happened. Somehow I got here in the body of my online game character, so please call me Atoli.

I hope we can all be great friends!

Ah - yeah, nice to meet you too.

[The thought occurs to him that maybe he should ask her if she could even consider this a meeting; since it's not clear whether 'meeting' someone online counts as meeting them for real.

He thinks better of it, though, for now. He'll probably save it until they're in a life threatening situation or something in true Nonary Game style.]

So this online game thing, was it virtual reality or something? Sounds like some advanced shit to me, if that is the case.

It is! You still had to use a controller, but the game itself was displayed on a visor meant to go over your eyes.

[She'd have used its name, but it was already apparent that he wouldn't have understood from that.]

Seems like a migraine waiting to kick your teeth in.

What year are you from? The year 3000?!

No, I'm not that far ahead... Where I'm from it was 2017.
