[hr][color=chocolate]"Wow..."[/color] Raymond said for the nth time as he stood there with Minerva. Gawking at the foreign sky above him with a child-like wonder in his eyes. He was unsure how long he had stood there in character creation with the AI administrator, but even before he had started the game, his expectations had well gone above and beyond his expectations. Francis wasn't kidding when he said this game was nothing like any game ever before. [color=chocolate]"This is gonna be loads of fun. I'm sure of it."[/color] he said to nobody in particular.

[color=chocolate]"Yes, I googled the instructions...no, there are no lights that indicate if the helmet is on or not...ugh, fine. I'll see if the wires are connected well."[/color] A tall man spoke onto the smartphone he held between his ear and shoulder while tinkering with the strange-looking helmet device. It had been closing time and for the diner and the package his brother insisted on him getting had been delivered sometime in the morning while the morning rush of customers was at full swing. Now after the last customer had left the premises and Ray had helped his parents and grandparents perform the closing routine, he was off to the second floor. Straight to his room so that he could unbox the Full Dive Device and the game card containing his copy of Cacophony Concord he bought along with it. 

After wiggling some loose wires into place and clamping them secure to the FDD and plugging its power cord into the socket once again, the helmet came to life. [color=chocolate]"There we go. Now we can get down to business. Yeah, I'm sure. It'll be fun trying to find you in-game. Like a treasure hunt but with people...Yeah yeah. Take care little bro. And for God's sake, take a bath more often. There's practically a second skin of filth on you last time you visited, buddy."[/color] Ray laughed as his little brother tried to defend himself. They soon dropped the call and Ray was sitting on his bed before he loaded the FDD with the game card before placing the helmet on.

He was immediately sent to the main hub of the FDD console where, after making his profile and customizing the main hub to his liking, he began running the game.

[color=chocolate]"Oh sorry. Right making a character."[/color] Ray finally snapped back to virtual reality and began making his character avatar for the game. He wasn't sure what to do when it prompted him if he wanted to upload a picture or not, so he opted not to. Instead, the game gave him a character with a strikingly similar look to what he looked like in real life. [color=chocolate]"Woah. That's amazing. It's like looking at a mirror...but I'm naked in the reflection. Uhh...user name is Raime Braun. Race is Human. Height is 189 cm. Weight is 90kg. Voice pitching is zero. No decorations. Just give me some starting clothes for appearance."[/color] With that the window containing his naked avatar, switched out to an ability screen where he could allocate 80 points to whatever he so pleases him. [color=chocolate]"Uhh, just put ten points in everything. I'll decide on a build later."[/color]
