Amelia couldn't say that Horogi was her first choice, but it's the starting area the rest of her group had decided on. She hadn't known many of them for very long, it seemed their little corners of the internet overlapped and the group came together kind of haphazardly. Still, between trading game recommendations and memes - [i]my God they sent so many memes[/i] - it was nice to have some sort of party from the get go. Between one blink and the next, Amelia (under her less than creative alias of [i]Ames[/i]) found herself in a beautifully vibrant city.

[color=C94153]"Oh wow,"[/color] she laughed, gazing around at the lanterns, streamers, all of the people gathered in the area, and the huge decorated stone in the center of it all. Moments ago Amelia had settled her graphics display to [i]fantastic[/i], and even while the city had certain glow to it, a certain charm that could only be found in that disconnect between fantasy and reality, it still looked so life-like. Needless to say, the girl was excited.

[color=C94153]"This is so awesome!"[/color] Amelia thrust her fists into the air in delight, chattering to herself as she spun in a circle to take in as much of the view in the busy area as she could. [color=C94153]"Is it festival time or something? Everything looks [i]soooo[/i] good! And! And... aaaaand where's my avatar?"[/color]

She blinked and looked around at all the fantastic player and NPC models, then opened up the game settings again. After a few moments of silence the menu closed and the red headed avatar she was currently in the guise of facepalmed hard. [color=C94153]"Oooooh my God I'm an idiot,"[/color] she mumbled, noticing her deeper voice for the first time. She'd been so caught up in making her character and getting used to the city that she'd forgotten it was a [i]VR game[/i], as in [i]Virtual Reality[/i], as in [i]first person.[/i] [color=C94153]"Fuck."[/color]

Oh well, nothing could be done about it now. Minerva said everything was final pretty much, barring "realistic" methods to change one's appearance. She'd have to find a mirror ASAP. Well, maybe finding a mirror was step two. Step one should be finding the rest of the group...

[i][color=gray]"Snakes have no arms and that bothers me!"[/color][/i]

...good timing! That was the code phrase, right? Or something like that. She turned to spot where the voice had come from, seeing a few new accounts and - someone on the ground?!

Amelia rushed over to the ailing player, passing Ari and Lugh by with a quick [i][color=C94153]"Hi Lew Hi Theresa you look really cute"[/color][/i] and stood a bit animatedly by Raime and Kriz, eyes looking back and forth between the two.

[color=C94153]"Are you okay? Do you still need a healer? Not that I am one but - "[/color] she paused, getting a good look at these two and their usernames. They seemed kind of familiar... [color=C94153]" - um. This'll be embarrassing if I'm wrong but aren't you guys part of [-our discord-]...?"[/color]
