"Wh-What the hell!?" Makoto glanced around the foreign environment. Why was it snowing? Last he remembered he was in his room on his computer downloading a series of patches for various gameson his PC. He rubbed his temples to clear his head and gave an long, exasperated sigh. He scanned the environment much more thoroughly this time, taking note of the rather... post-apocalyptic look of the locale. Which was odd.

A brief moment of surprise caused him to recoil backwards a bit, making him fall down in turn due to the snow obstructing his fluid movement.

In fact, there was [i]nobody[/i] on it. It [i]was[/i] his alternate account after all, and anyone who wanted to request him was kindly redirected to his main. That was alright though, he knew all the important usernames anyway. A few clicks later and...
