[i]"Huh...?"[/i]

It felt like for a moment, he was drifting in thought. [i]"Why does it feel so..."[/i] He felt around his body until he could feel himself blink with a quick shutter of his eyelids. The brightness of the sun was shining directly down into his face, but he couldn't feel any heat. [i]"Ah damn... I feel hungry... Maybe I should've eaten before..."[/i] The HUD menu opens the moment thought about opening it, pushing several holographic buttons until he navigated to the log out button and pressed it once. There was an error sign. [i]"What...?!"[/i] He continued to press it again and again only to be encountered with the same error notification. That's when his head had finally awakened. [i]"I can't log out?!"[/i] Even though the voice inside of his head felt silent, he hears it echo into the abyss.

He tried to walk forward, but felt the awkwardness of his steps-- how its very draggy and rather restrictive in nature until his brain finally functioned properly inside of him and saw the thick and enormous snow that layered the entire town he had appeared in. [i]"What the... Is it the Christmas Event already? It's only..."[/i] He doesn't even remember what month it was. [i]"Oh Aren... How could you forget..."[/i] He brought his own palm to his forehead. The noisy sounds began to finally shred through the deep thoughts of Aren. His eyes looked forward to the crowd. People were confused, some were anticipating something about an outbreak that involved a game. It just sounded so... Absurd to him. That at the same time though did not explain why he couldn't log out of the game. He observed the button and pressed it to no avail and the error notification just keep appearing.

[i]"Gah."[/i] He thought again, moving his feet as much as he could underneath the layer of snow. It hadn't come into mind yet that he was controlling himself, rather than playing the game on the computer.
