Sleeping and eating is boring. And weird. Why do I have to do it?

It doesn't make sense.

[Having physical needs like this again is super strange.]

A Lost One. That's the name given to people who have fallen into a Coma in the real world after having played The World. People would talk about that sort of thing all over the forums like they were rumors. After all, no one could prove it.

...You don't know? Really? You know, there was an instance were people's consciousness were separated from their bodies en masse. I was involved in it, had to stop it. Not once did I forget anything like that.

But maybe it's different for you. Who's to say, really?

I can't read the forums... Bear told me about some of the rumors floating around there, but I'm the only person I know of who got stuck in The World.

My memories were... messed with, though. I can't remember much about the world offline.

That's... [Really messed up, scary] strange. Who would do something like that?

[aurathread]

It's a long story.

[Attempt to change the subject a bit goooo -]

What class do you play?

[not_that_scary]

Hm... Well, I play The World Revision 2, which got released in 2017, so the classes are a little different. I'm what's known as an Adept Rogue. They're a sort of hybrid class, and can use weapons and abilities from three different classes. I picked Twin Blade, Edge Punisher, and Flick Reaper. I can switch between weapons during battle on the fly, which is incredibly useful. Of course, most people tend to be dismissive of the Adept Rogue because they take stat penalties to balance out the versatility, and they actually take longer to level up, but I enjoy it a lot.

Wait what? It's 2009. Or maybe it's 2010 now, I don't know.

[Still, he listens to the class description. Twin Blade he knows. Edge Punisher sounds like the Heavy Blade... and Flick Reapers... maybe like Heavy Axemen but with scythes?]

Mm. I play a Wavemaster. I only recognize Twin Blades from that list.

[not_that_scary]

Time is kind of funky in this place. I'm from 7 years in your future, I think. I have a friend who's a month behind me.

Well, Edge Punishers deal in giant swords. Flick Reapers use scythes to get the job done.

Wavemaster, that was the definitive magic class back in the original version, right?

[aurathread]

Yeah, it is. Most people either go for an offensive style or focus on weapons with healing. I go for attack magic - mostly fire, electric, and dark.
