"Hia!" And the call was disconnected. The first greeting he got was an abrupt 'Hi' that ended in less than a fraction of a second. The sharp intonation of Aurora's face pierced deep into Aren's ears causing his head to flinch the other way close to busting his eardrums open and bleed. Luckily that wasn't the case though.

[i]"Well at least Aurora's okay."[/i] The open HUD in front of him appeared to look frozen and suspended-- Aren looked so excited to be observing the surrealism of what he's looking at right now and felt like his eyes were fitted with some cybernetic technology. [i]"It's possible! It's a dream after all, right?"[/i] He feels the wind blowing directly into him, pushing his leg down into the snow. That felt way too real. He looked to the HUD again this time with a notification appearing over the top of all the menus which read;

[center]Touma requests you to be added to your Friendlist.
Accept.
Decline.[/center]

"Ah. Makoto. I wonder what he's doing on his alt--" He pushed the accept tab and quickly realised. "Oh yeah. Can't log out." He stopped for a moment, taking in to the entire surroundings as he looked around Akihabra that was covered in snow and several people running in armor with weapons and canes and inspecting his own self at that matter that he steadily came to a staggering realisation. [i]"Not being able to log out, weapons and armors being worn everywhere… Friend requests and everything…"[/i] He connected the dots, before groaning onto the ground. [i]"Goddammit! I'm stuck in this game!"[/i] He rolled around on the snow for several moments before looking ot the clear blue sky above. [i]"This place looks damn real to me."[/i] The sky couldn't be seen rotating. He didn't know if it was just still image or a real thing.

The people in the middle of the town were becoming restless. It felt like they've seen something or something's happened all of a sudden and it got their attention. A crowd was building up surrounding someone or something in the middle. Aren stood to his feet and approached the pooling crowd. "Hey, hey what's going on?" He asked one of the bystanders near the crowd, to which she answered;

"Somebody's dead on the floor!" What? That couldn't be. Aren looked towards the center of the crowd, feet and bodies covering the view that he couldn't see at the center of the group. Aren took control of them by speaking as loud as possible.

"Alright everyone make way! Coming through!" Aren pushed and shoved the group of people. After realising that it was him whom had shouted, they finally gave way and saw the person lying the ground with their hand on their stomach, seemingly bleeding. As his HUD checks out Aren was pulled into a surprise. "Lily? What happened to you?" He held her up to a seated position, moving her hand away from the wound and inspecting it. The people were still around looking and becoming curious. "I got this! You guys can go about your business." He noticed that Lily was suffering from a Bleed debuff and so removed a Cure-All Potion from his inventory and fed the liquid to Lily with his hand. "Here this'll make it better."
