"Mom! I'm not gonna get involved with complete strangers!" Sarah whined as her mother teased her about getting the new Soul Story Online game. "Everyone else said they were going to get it soon, so I figured I might as well get it now and get some practice time." It pained her to admit this, but she knew she was obviously bad at any and all games.

"Just make sure to bring home a real boy, not a virtual one" her mom quirked quickly before scurrying off to make dinner and leaving Sarah in her own room to feel the heat of her own embarrassment radiating from her skin. Sarah's mom has been on her case about boys for a couple of years, but, to her dad's pleasure, Sarah has been living a pure, safe end of school life away from those testosterone filled freaks. 

First thing was to install the game, which wasn't a big deal. Sarah didn't own enough games to fill a breadbox, so disk space wasn't an issue. As the game downloaded and all the other nerdy stuff games do when you first try to play, Sarah dug out the included visor apparently needed to play the game. It just seemed like a syfi pair of high-tech sunglasses to her, though she knew that this is what allowed her to apparently feel the game world around her. She climbed onto her bed and relaxed, waiting for the game to install. [i]-Hmm... I wonder if I should put a poster above my bed....-[/i],she thought to herself, [i]-I'm sure I wouldn't mind staring at a Morgan Addison poster when I revisit the land of the living~-[/i] Just then, a message appeared on the visor screen. *Press Start* It was always a bit funny to her that they still had that message, as there wasn't really a start button and there hasn't been in decades. It didn't appear to be much more than a timed message, or did she press a button by accident? She couldn't tell as her world began to succumb to darkness, losing one sense at a time to the game of the new age before it took her consciousness.[/hider]

Sarah, or rather, Sarebii had no idea what shape or even what day it was. Both her body and mind were exhausted after flipping out from reading that horrid message from this so-called "Ra." She didn't know where she was or what happened. She could, however, remember bits and pieces of her time here so far, though she wished she would forget most of it. She remembered that she received the message not long after just starting the game, saying that there was no escape for the living unless they played his stupid game to the end. This killed any chance she had and she knew it. After a bit screaming in horror and deleting the message on the spot, she remembers running around town until she met a group of poor unfortunate souls who have given up on ever living again, finding it easier to kill themselves than to continue on. Sarah tried staying with the group, convincing themselves there was no point and way out, but in the end she couldn't do it. She ended up flailing madly into the streets until exhaustion took over and she finally conked out on the edge of the street.

Sarebii looked around her, trying to figure out her location. She was still in the starting town, more specifically the town square by the looks of it. It was a bit more lively than she last remembered it. Maybe people found a way out? One could only hope, but now was a time for food and gathering back her strength and composure. Worse comes to worse, she could always sell herself as a healer to a group and maybe get by that way. She checked the first food stand she could find. Thankfully it was all cheep, and obviously run by a npc. She bought the most attractive thing she could with one gold piece and tried to look somewhat like a lady as she scarfed it down. It wasn't bad, but the calming of doing something as normal as eating really seemed to help her nerves. She continued her walk around town and could tell something was going down. Either a festival or a celebration. It would be hard to believe if this wasn't an in game event, but she both couldn't tell the difference and didn't care to begin with. Sarah let out a long sigh as she stopped in front of a small inn. She didn't plan to stay the night, but it was at least a place to hang for now as she watched the people go to and fro.
