[sup][/sup][cell][right][color=A9A9A9]Party 2 contacted[/color][/right][hr]After an eventful day of studying, family interactions, meeting up with friends, part time work, and the drudgery of completing various chores, Juliane was more than ready to fall asleep – and more importantly, to log into Thalam Online. It was releasing worldwide today, and though she was excited to try out something so new and promising, she thankfully didn’t have much trouble falling asleep. She’d already created an account under the user name of ‘Queue’, so she simply entered her password, and hit play.

…And she got hit with the loading screen, but that was to be expected. The background was beyond pretty though, and madly detailed, not to mention the sublime orchestra music playing. Sooner than expected, she was at the character creation screen. Ahh, now this would be a challenge. Juliane thought she’d prefer one of the fantasy races…but not a dwarf, as those tended to be either short, burly, or lolitas, no, not the Greenskins either, she thought, though they could be fascinating to try and make as visually appealing as an elf. The Beastmen were perhaps better to be left aside as well; she’d prefer to avoid a virtual encounter with a furry, of all things. Since she intended to create a female-gendered character, there was already a higher possibility of attracting that occasional desperate pervert (usually male, but who could really say in this day and age) – or an immature teen; sometimes the two were difficult to distinguish. Such pitiful behavior was simply a part of human nature, unfortunately.

Breaking out of her reverie, Juliane finally selected the Fae race, and spent the next hour or two creating her in-game avatar. There were truly many options, and so, so many ideas she wanted to see realized. A dark skinned, busty beauty, an Asian-esque slender woman of elegance, a petite sparkly rainbow of a muffin-doll…In the end, she went for the aloof, mature look, the Fae’s skin a dazzling ivory white, her eyes red as the richest of wines and as brilliant as a ruby, hair stretching to her thighs and coloured a toned-down green. Her Fae-exclusive appendages were a set of dragonfly wings, all four transparent, though glimmering in a dark violet to light green gradient, with splashes of reddish yellow present at the very base of them. When folded, the wings were hardly visible from the front, and even from the back, they were mainly covered by her long hair. Spread out however, they were…simply enchanting. Juliane changed one of the basic sets of clothes provided in the character creation screen to match her chosen avatar as best as she could, though she suspected there were even more intricate possibilities to unlock within the game. When it came to the class, she mostly picked on a whim, since each of the basic ones had some appeal.

In the end, Juliane ended up with a pretty Fey ranger avatar. The name she wrote in before confirming her choices was one she had already decided on previously. [color=9966CC][i]Alright, then, in-game I'm Vesper.[/i][/color] She clicked confirm, and after another brief loading screen – it was a different one, which was certainly appreciated – Vesper appeared in the beginning area, Bellview, a paradise-esque beachside location. There was a town in view, and they even had a quaint little port. How adorable! Vesper took flight, stretching her new appendages, and made several loops in the air, descending just before her stamina burned out and she would be forced to crash. [color=9966CC][i]Less than a minute of flight, huh. A bit disappointing, but I just need to level to get more stamina, so shouldn’t be too much of a problem.[/i][/color] Next, she familiarized herself with an UI, which was simple enough, as it was fairly similar to any other MMORPG, with just enough of that ‘this is a new, fresh, and trendy system!’ flavor that she could easily accept it.

Vesper saw the quest, and, since doing so was standard practice in games, decided to go out and find those slimes to kill. She followed the noise to the north – on foot – and was not too surprised to see the utterly crowded environment. There were hundreds upon hundreds of players, each tackling a lvl 1 slime, though as she ventured further north, parties became more common. [color=9966CC][i]Parties of three to five level 1 player for a level 3 slime, huh? These things must be more tanky and harmful than expected.[/i][/color] Vesper would frankly prefer soloing, to be honest, but she wanted to raise her level from this abysmal [i]1[/i] number, and get to the more exciting stuff as soon as she could. And for that, a party was simply the more sensible choice. She took ahold of her bow, looked around…and found the perfect party! There was a four-person party, and by the looks of it, they were a warrior, healer, mage, and rogue. If she joined, they’d have each of one class, which should be optimal. Blinking at every one of them, Vesper sent each player a party request, then drew an arrow out of thin air, notched it onto the bow, and aimed at the slime they were facing. As soon as she got the notification that they accepted her request, she would unleash her charged Aimed Shot.
