A game has the ability to suck you into it’s own reality… I T ‘ S . P L A Y T I M E
In Tokyo, Japan, a game designer has made what he believes will be one of the best games in the world. One of the first virtual reality games, it comes with goggles and a fashionable suit that allows the player to feel as if he is truly experiencing the things occurring in the game. Illusions in Time. At least, that’s what the demo is being called. Unsure of whether or not the game is yet safe, the company decides to test drive it with ten teenagers, who will act as guinea pigs.
However, the game designer has more in store for the players. A plot has been demised by a secret government agency to slowly take control of the youth through the happenings of the game. They have decided to capture players through use of the "ideal reality", one where they can hide from all of their troubles and be who they want to be. The secret is in the emotional and mental stability of the player. The more they want to escape, the easier it is to enslave them. The more and more addicted to the game they get, the more difficult it is to leave it. And once one finds it better, it is impossible to find one's way back to reality.
And so, ten teenagers, unknowingly, decide to take up the challenge. All had been chosen for a reason, for they are not as different as they may first seem. All ten of them have dark secrets… Dark secrets which they hide away, which they run from, which they want nothing more than to escape from. And so, with that in mind, they each decide to try the game out. Little do they know how realistic the game can get. Little do they know… There is no escape button when the illusion becomes ones reality. When one doesn’t want to go back… And can’t.… What happens when it’s reality becomes yours?

And so we sign our lives away unknowingly… A . B I N D I N G . C O N T R A C T
Rule Number One. Obey all guild and Gaia rules. We don’t want this guild being shut down because we made a silly mistake and disobeyed TOS.
Rule Number Two. With that said, this is a PG-13 role play. There will be no cybering. It’s, frankly, unneeded. Be polite, and if it really must come to that, do a time-skip. I will, however, allow romance. Just think of it this way. If your grandmother saw what you wrote, how would she feel?
Rule Number Three. This isn’t much of a violent game. It’s more of a networking one. Gamers play on servers and meet other players. The way they interact and such with one another is the catch. It is, to say, impossible to beat any monster in this game alone, other than on the Main Server. Therefore, it is almost forced that players create parties in order to do Quests and such. That way, interaction is reinforced.
Rule Number Four. I am the maker of this role play and would like to be treated with respect. And on that note, I’d like players to treat each other with respect. We are all fellow comrades here in Gaia, and as such, we don’t need useless OOC drama and other such things. In character, I can understand… But when you disrespect a fellow player and I get enough PMs about your behavior, I will kick you out of the role play. Three strikes and out.
Rule Number Five. Rules maybe added or changed as I see fit, so keep in touch with them, In ways, it is a guiding light, and will help you successfully role play here. I want every one to have fun and be creative. We are the children of today and tomorrow, and as such, we live up to our names.…And into the abyss we allow ourselves to fall.

We find a place to bury our heads... F I N D . A . P L A C E . T O . H I D EThe In-Game world consists of four different types of land biomes: Grassland, desert, forest, and tundra. In the grassland in the east, you will find easy level monsters which aren't too difficult to defeat, and many big cities and small towns in which you can purchase provisions and other items.
Eventually, the grassland stretches out into a desert area in the south, where the monsters are a bit more difficult, but are still able to be defeated by high-level players. There are no known shops or places to re-stock, so be sure to buy everything needed before disappearing off into the heat and sands. However, it has been rumored that there is a moving structure referred to as the Golden Mass that drifts around the area, always moving. Lastly, there are items found here that are relatively common and can be purchased in stores. Sometimes one will come across something more valuable, but this is a rare finding.
In the west can be found forest area, holding monsters that one cannot defeat without aid of other players. There is one known shop located in the density of this area, where one can stock up on provisions... However, it is very difficult to locate without a good map or tracker. There have also been myths of two more cities lost within the forest, one in the trees and another shrouded in an eerie mist. Items found here are less common, and every so often, one might find something that is rare.
Lastly, in the north, there is a tundra area filled with the most fearsome monsters known in the game. Even with the help of other characters, people must be of sufficient levels in order to fight here. However, some of the rarest items are located in this area and are very difficult to get to. Abandoned castles and buildings lay strewn across the place where one might be able to scrounge up materials. Dangerous, but well-worth it, at times. There are no towns here until you hit the Final Stage... But one must fight through dangerous creatures to get through the gates.

Please be sure to fill out the following character skeleton and PM it to me under the subject title: “We Will Rise From Illusion”. Keep in mind that the information you put down is your In-Game character information. Most of the interaction between characters will only happen in the game. It will be very rare that you will ever meet in Real Life. Therefore, when it says "x x [ L a s t N a m e , F i r s t N a m e ] x x" below, remember that this is your InGame Character's name!!! Also, keep characters to Japanese names and appearances.

I was born a Male
My birthday is June 24th
Which makes me Nineteen
I act like A time bomb. No, I'm not angry all the time, but I am most of it. I come off as a bit of a jerk, and most often rub people the wrong way with my indifference towards them. I don't like to share my emotions, mainly when I am sad or angered. People think I am a bit mysterious, and a little crazy too, because of the way I carry myself and the way I react to different situations. My emotions, for the most part, stay hidden from people, especially if I don't know them because I find it hard to trust people at all. However, don't get me wrong. If the right (or wrong) buttons are pushed (namely, if anyone poses a threat to my sister or makes her cry), I speak my mind, and I'm not afraid of fighting it out, with words or fists. I blame myself if my sister gets hurt, and will do what ever it takes to make her better. So, sure, I'm a bit of a bad a**, but that's because I learned early on in life that you have to be tough to make it.
Because of my past I was naive as a kid. I didn't realize how much my mother was hurting until I turned eight years old and finally saw the numerous bruises and scars my father gave her. He was an alcoholic and got angry and abusive when he was drunk. Because of my father, my mother told me one day that I had to promise to always keep my little sister safe. She was only six at the time, and still lived in a perfect world. I complied.
However, the years went by, and my sister got older... Prettier, even, and one weekend I had to leave to go out on a baseball trip to Osaka. When I arrived home, my sister's door was locked shut, my mother was gone, and there were broken bottles of alcohol all over the floor. My father, unfortunately, was in his room, cursing and saying foul things to my sister through the connecting wall. When I got her to open the door, she was tattered, bruised, and bleeding from numerous spots. It seemed as if she had been through hell and back. She was only fifteen.
Seeing her like that got me angry and I told her to pack her things while I went to my own room to pack mine. While in there, I grabbed a baseball bat, just for safe keeping, and my clothes and such into a duffle bag. I grabbed my sister, and as we were leaving my father grabbed her by the collar, ripping her shirt almost clean off of her, saying she couldn't leave. I had had it. I hit my dad over the head with my baseball bat so many times that I made him bleed and knocked him unconscious.
We ran away that afternoon and found our mother, who was disgusted at what her husband did to her daughter, so much so that she cried whenever she looked at Hikari. She told us to leave her alone because she didn't do enough for us, and so, reluctantly, we did. We live at our grandparents' house on our mother's side now... And we haven't seen our parents since that fateful day. I hate myself for not being there for Hikari. And I hate my parents for being who they are.
I like swinging things around I carry around a large buster sword that measures out to be almost taller than me. Also, although I feel more comfortable using a sword, I carry a Kusari-gama, a sickle on a chain, which I use more often in long-ranged battles. Lastly, I have one small dagger, but I really only use it as a last resort weapon.
I may look weak, but I have power I have the ability to bend and manipulate fire to my liking. However, although I can create it from nothing, it is a dangerous thing to do, and I often have to not only wear gloves while I am manipulating fire, but I can't do it within a close vicinity of people I care about, for fear of hurting them in the process. I'm not all that great at it yet, but they say practice makes perfect. Secondly, I am abnormally fast in the game, and use this speed and agility to my advantage when it coms to escaping or maneuvering in conjunction with using parkour, which I am versed in in real life. Lastly, I can communicate with my sister by use of my mind, and she can do the same.

I was born a [[ Male ]]
My birthday is [[ July 18th ]]
Which makes me [[ Eighteen ]]
I act like [[ To all things not combat-related, I can be a bit slow. Especially romance. I tend to be thick-skulled yet open-minded, almost to the point of naivety. I'm crude, rude, and I have a horrible attitude. When it comes to combat, however, I am quick-witted and almost malicious in my joy for battle. But I'm not blood-thirsty, no, I haven't crossed that line. Yet. ]]
Because of my past [[ For the record, my dad was a great man. Sober, at least. I was born to the oddest couple in the world: a rich conservative businessman, and a liberal arts professor. Except, things weren't all hunky-dory. Once my father got liquor in him, though, he turned into a demon. He would beat my mother, beat me, the whole horrible and over-played nine yards. I was used to these transformations by the age of six. However, while hiding under my parent's bed, my father began to rape my mother, and I couldn't take it anymore. So I grabbed the butcher knife in the kitchen and stuck it into my father's head, down to the hilt. I was nine.
Needless to say, he died. But my mother still loved my father. So after taking care of me for a few years all on her own, she committed suicide, thinking I had left. But I was watching her from the kitchen as she put the gun in her mouth. So, I was soon sent to foster care, being juggled from one to another, never allowed to touch my inheritance until I was eighteen. So, desiring a change, I left Kyushu on my birthday to Tokyo, trying to find a place where no one knew me. ]]
I like swinging things around [[ Since I mainly fight hand-to-hand, my primary weapon is a pair of gauntlets. If I must use a weapon, I wield a scimitar and a tomahawk]]
I may look weak, but I have power [[ I'm a stronger than most, but it's hard for me to come into contact with others because of it as I'm bad at self-control. I also have rudimentary control over the earth, mostly just sending shockwaves through the earth to enemies and making shields of solid rock. Unfortunately, unless my allies are prepared or in the air, they can get hurt also. Also, despite all this and the fact I run horridly slow, my fists are among some of the fastest, but if I overdo it I can rip out my own arms. ]]

I was born a Male
My birthday is January 2nd
Which makes me Eighteen
I act like Why do today, what you could do tomorrow? That's my take on life. It's a lot harder to get hurt if you don't care about anything. Well, almost anything. If ever a good friend were in need, I would help out without thinking twice. I guess that I'm sort of like a modern day hippie without the long hair and the drugs. My worst fears include: fire, death, war, and clothes hangers. Don't ask. It's a long story. Only a select few people have ever seen me mad, and I plan on keeping it that way.
Because of my past When I was younger, around the age of eight, I was kidnapped from a park playground. They beat me several times a day, and I never stopped crying. I wanted to die, and several times I even tried to take my own life. It seemed as though there was no escape. Slowly, I began to be at ease with the fact that this was my life. A barrier was formed between me and the outside world. My thoughts and feelings were at other places even while being beaten or burned. I really didn't care what happened to me.
But one day my captors disappeared. I didn't know where they went or when they'd be coming back. It took me about two days to notice they were gone, and still I didn't even seem to care. I just sort of sat there in my cage all alone. Quiet. But when I was just about to die from malnutrition, I was rescued by a Tokyo policeman. When I was finally reunited with my family, I didn't smile or cry. There was still a barrier between me and them. A barrier that took about eight years to come down.
I like swinging things around I am very skilled with a bow and arrow. I also like to use two daggers when I'm fighting in close combat.
I may look weak, but I have power I am excellent tracker and hunter. Whenever I focus my senses I can hear and see things that are miles away. But due to the drastic change from in my senses, I cannot hear or see for about fifteen minutes after I use that power. Lastly I can conjure arrows using my own life force. And since they are from my own life force, I will die if I overuse this power.

I act like [[ Ryuu is quite laid back and is usually out of it, although he can be smart when he feels like it. He's extremely energetic when it comes to fighting, and will stop at nothing to protect his twin sister, Kaz. He's also perverted with other girls, but is tender and caring when it comes to Kaz. ]]
Because of my past [[ While he grew up in a good home, he grew extremely close with his sister, and never left her side. They slept in the same bed, were always in the same class, and even took baths together. He was always with her, but when he wasn't, he was typically on a date with a girl. He was a player at school, but the girls didn't care and lined up to at least have a chance to kiss his lips. It was all for show, though. In truth, he had no feelings for any of the girls that wanted him. None of them at all. The only girl that he would ever have feelings for was Kaz, and they were more than brotherly feelings. He truly loved her, and even if they were feelings that were looked down upon by society, he couldn't help himself. He would always love Kaz; now and forever. ]]
I like swinging things around [[ Just like my twin, my profession is an assassin as well, but unlike her, I like using a katana instead of a shuriken. I do have small shuriken for my attacks, though, and instead of sai, I carry around hundreds of poisonous senbon needles. ]]
I may look weak, but I have power [[ Much like Kaz, the power I spam the most is Lotus Strike, but even if it gives me high crit, it takes away a lot of my energy, and I am usually left auto attacking afterward. When I don't use Lotus Strike, I typically use dancing shuriken, which allows my shurkin to travel at high speeds, cutting the skin as if it were mere paper. The only problem with this power is the fact that it lowers my health by half and takes a long time to reload. I only use this attack if it's ftw; therefore, it is my last resort. Lastly, to weaken my opponents before I attack them, I have a power called Poison Fangs. With this power, I am able to sprint up to my enemies and use my poisonous sai to slash through their skin and infect them with a disease that lowers their health quickly. It makes it easier to attack and quicker for them to die. One problem with this power is the ability to infect my allies by touching them when they're infected. ]]

I act like [[ I'm a happy guy. Creepily happy. Nothing ever bothers me, nope, and I never become violent. Never. I'm strictly anti-violence, so I won't strike back even if I'm clinging onto my last breaths. In fact, I'll even try to help the people trying to kill me in order not to cause anymore harm. ]]
Because of my past [[ I came from a nice, rich family. With nice status, the whole shebang. I had the lovely girl-next-door, and we grew up like brother and sister. By the time we were fifteen, we began getting intimate. That's when the bomb was dropped on me. Not only was I adopted from a burakumin family of mental illness and a tendency for violence, but also my childhood sweetheart was already spoken for, and she was the one who volunteered to do it. So, confused and distraught, I stabbed everyone in his house, then going next door to slit my 'lover's' throat. To find she beat me to it. I came out of it then, and ran away. For a whole day. I came back to my 'family', who accepted my act of violence as my burakumin blood coming out. Once I turned eighteen, I left my home for a tiny apartment in downtown Tokyo. ]]
I like swinging things around [[ Since I'm purely magical, I don't have weapons. At all. Well, technically I do. I just don't use it. I do have a staff, though. And a wand. Then there's my little scalpel. But I never use that. ]]
I may look weak, but I have power [[ Well, since I'm magical, I have really high magical powers/prowess. But they still wear me out. I can heal and cure anything, but if I do it too much, I'm gone. Finite. Dead. Well, more like unconscious, but still. I'll practically be in a coma. I also have one offensive power, but I refuse to use it due to my non-combative attitude. It's called Surgical Strike, and it essentially cuts my enemies on their weak points, weakening them and letting them bleed out. ]]

I was born a Female
My birthday is April 22nd
Which makes me Seventeen
I act like Nothing ever bothers me. I always seem very happy and chipper, although I am, at first, quiet and to myself. To say simply, I am shy at first, but once I get to know you, I open up more, and you're most likely to experience my childish attitude more so than anything else. I love laughing and smiling, and I enjoy being around people who have a good sense of humor and who can laugh along with me. I can often be caught dancing and singing when I feel comfortable around the company. I like to look on the bright side of everything, and I try my best not to let slip that deep down, I am in a lot of pain.
Because of my past I had led a fairly good life until I realized what my mother went through every night my father came home drunk from work. For a while, I sympathized and was there for both parents equally, trying to ease my father's stress and my mother's pain. Eventually, however, I watched as they both got worse and my father began hitting my mother, abusing her, leaving scars.
When my brother left for Osaka, my parents got in a huge fight. Unable to take it anymore, I stood up for my mother towards my father. Enraged by the things I said, my father started to beat me in front of my mother. She ran away screaming and soon after, he raped me. I locked my self in the room after that and stayed in there until my brother was able to coerce me to open my door. I had been in there for almost three days straight, too afraid to emerge from the confinements. Upon seeing me, my brother told me to pack my things, and as we left, I watched him beat our father's head in with a baseball bat.
Since then, we've lived with my grandparents, who seem to care less about us than anything else in the world... My mother can't look at me without crying and sent us away, but I don't hate her. Nor do I hate my father, even after what he did to me...
I like swinging things around Because I am more of a magical based character, I carry around a staff, quite like the picture, except it is silver in color and is taller than me... Probably at the height of six feet or so, with a pointed bottom end. Through this, I am able to channel my powers. If, however, I am in a situation where my powers do not work, I, like my brother, have a Kusari-gama, a sickle attached to a chain, which I am not all that confident using, and only do so in a last resort situation. Lastly, I carry a blue fan that is made out of very strong metal, which I often use as a type of shield while fighting.
I may look weak, but I have power The first power I have is water manipulation. I can bend and use water as I like, but I cannot make it appear from nothing. I can, however, pull water from things around me, such as plants and clouds (if they're low enough). Secondly, I have the ability to draw energy in from living sources around me, humans, animals, and plants alike. However, I rarely resort to doing this because I could end up killing myself in the process if I were to pull in too much energy. It is, however, pretty, because the energy in large amounts create orbs of golden light, much like the sun. Lastly, I am so in tune with my brother that I am able to communicate with him by use of my mind.

I act like [[ I don't have many friends, but if you asked the ones I do have, they would describe me as an easygoing, though sometimes obnoxious person. I am not afraid to speak my mind. The only problem is: my mind does not function the way most of them do... There is virtually no filter between my thoughts and my words. As a result, I will often end conversations with my foot in my mouth, if I haven't already spaced out or gotten distracted. What I am good at is cheering people up. I'm usually the first one people come to for advice, and having two younger siblings has made me skillful at settling disputes. ]]
Because of my past [[ Unfortunately, they don't take too kindly to people who stand out where I come from. I was bullied viciously throughout high school, and am still shunned by most of my peers today. Hate mail, vandalism, rumors, violence; you name it, I've been through it. Asking for help was out of the question; having my parents stand up for me would only make it harder to show up at school and work... The only real friends I have are over the internet, the only place where my true personality is accepted. The more I see of the real world, the more I start to hate it. Too many limitations, people judging you left and right, anxious to make themselves look better. That's when I was told about a trial for this virtual-world game. Of course I accepted immediately. It sounded almost too good to be true! ]]
I like swinging things around [[ My first pick was this cool scythe. What better weapon to go along with my new appearance? To be honest, though, I don't plan to use it very much. Long-distance combat sounds more like my thing, which is why I chose a whip second. Last of all were these cute snowflake shuriken.]]
I may look weak, but I have power [[ Mobility was my top priority when picking stats. I have nearly superhuman speed and can even fly. Of course, this leaves me with horribly low defense and open to most air attacks. I can also summon demons, but well: controlling them is another matter entirely... ]]

&& One more thing before I go [[ I could care less about fighting monsters unless it's necessary. What I really want to do is just explore (and maybe pick up a few rare items along the way <3)]] x x [ Wakana, Kasumi ] x xo o [ 0oaphroditeo0 ] o o“The dumber people think you are, the more surprised they're going to be when you kill them”Sometimes they call me [[ Kaz ]]
I was born a [[ Female ]]

Which makes me [[ Nineteen ]]
I act like [[ With her small figure comes a small personality. Her speech is highly refined yet barely louder than a squeak of a mouse, and her movements are quick and agile, much like a wild cat. She rarely gets angry at anyone, and is typically looked at as a weak player, but when she is in battle, she can be fierce like a true assassin. It's her unexpected qualities that make her difficult to keep up with and fight against. Her hobbies include killing small things to gain that little experience she needs to reach the next level, and partying up with her twin brother. ]]
Because of my past [[ Kasumi was born after her twin brother on a stormy day, giving her the name that meant mist. While she grew up in a good home, she grew extremely close with her brother, and never left his side. They slept in the same bed, were always in the same class, and even took baths together. She was always with him, but in the times that she wasn't, her father would always creep up on her, and molest her. She didn't know what he was doing at first, but when she finally learned what molestation was at school, she felt herself break apart. Of course her brother grew worried, but she would never tell anyone about what her father did to her, even when he died in a car accident. Her secret keeps itself hidden inside of her mind, and will forever torture her 'till the day she dies. ]]
I like swinging things around [[ Seeing how my profession in the game is an assassin, I like to use a large shuriken in all of my battles. There are times when such a weapon that large isn't smart to use, though, so there are the regular sized shuriken and sai that I keep hidden in my clothes. ]]
I may look weak, but I have power [[ The power I spam the most is Lotus Strike, but even if it gives me high crit, it takes away a lot of my energy, and I am usually left auto attacking afterward. When I don't use Lotus Strike, I typically use dancing shuriken, which allows my shurkin (large and small) to travel at high speeds, cutting the skin as if it were mere paper. The only problem with this power is the fact that it lowers my health by half and takes a long time to reload. I only use this attack if it's ftw; therefore, it is my last resort. Lastly, to weaken my opponents before I attack them, I have a power called Poison Fangs. With this power, I am able to sprint up to my enemies and use my poisonous sai to slash through their skin and infect them with a disease that lowers their health quickly. It makes it easier to attack and quicker for them to die. One problem with this power is the ability to infect my allies by touching them when they're infected. ]]

"A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world." Sometimes they call me [[Kobayashi]]
I was born a [[Female ]]
My birthday is [[August 23]]
Which makes me [[17]]
I act like [[a clumsy fool, tripping over things. I'm loud and obnoxious at times. I have no manners. I'm extremely playful and cheerful most of the time. I do whatever I feel makes me happy at that moment. I can't keep my mouth shut. I'm afraid of facing challenges. Thus, I often go at them blindly, without any thought to the situation. I have quite a temper that cannot be quelled easily. I will take it out on whoever is in the vicinity. I release steam like a kettle. It's mostly just running my mouth. I've never hit anyone. Though, I hold grudges like a sponge holds water. I try my best to be friendly, but my mouth often ruins it. I'm naive and blunt about things that shouldn't be said. I'm a coward. I'm the first to run during a battle. I protect myself before anyone else. ]]
Because of my past [[I've never been liked by anybody. My father once worked for a large corporation. He hungered for a higher position and always seemed to be concerned with appearances. Yet, we were a poor family living in a two room apartment. The stress he experienced daily at work caused problems for me and my mother. He'd often do violent things to us. His moods were erratic and terrifying. My mother would try to shield me from them, so she would get the brunt of every beating. The guilt of the situation ate at my my heart and consumed me. I wanted my mother to escape, the both of us, but my fear kept me in place. At school, I was always silent and never spoke to any one. I could not bring myself to make friends. I felt I could trust no one. Because of this fact, I was bulled and tortured daily. I took it all, realizing what my mother endured for me. An all girl Yakuza eventually took notice of me and made me their slave. I had to do their bidding at every turn, from carrying their books to stealing clothes. I could not escape abuse. I did not tell my mother. She was already burdened with the weight of my father's fist. I felt completely isolated and trapped. Daily, I contemplated suicide. Then, I received a letter in the mail about a game testing. Reluctantly, I decided to participate. If I could get away from my situation for even a little while...]]
I like swinging things around [[I love to wield heavy weapons, so my first choice was naturally theZanbatou. It's known for taking both horse and rider in one fell swoop. I adored the power of this weapon and knew I had to own it. I also like to use trowing needles for quick escape. I use them the most, because I'm always running.]]
I may look weak, but I have power [[My strength is above and beyond. I can crush large boulders with the power of my hands. Sometimes, I get carried away and crush too many of them. The weight and power has a large effect on my body. I become absolutely powerless at times and my body is often in excruciating pain from using this skill. I save it for rainy days. There is this one other thing I can do. It has something to do with energy manipulation. I can create force fields and drain objects of their energy. I use this to power my strength. Though, the power often goes completely berserk and I end up releasing every drop of energy I have. I become completely vulnerable to outside forces and usually faint.]]

a.k.a. [ H i k a r u ]
He had parked the car in a guest stall with the permission of the security guard at the gate. The slip of paper, which was tucked between the dashboard and the windshield, had a number on it that read "114 A", and it signified the fact that his car could not be towed. Which was a comforting fact. He sighed as he turned the key in the ignition, hearing the car come to an off status, and he shifted a little in his seat before turning his gaze to the girl who sat in the passenger's seat... His sister.
"Are you sure about this?" he asked her curiously as the silence seemed to thicken in the car. They had thought about their decision to take part in the demo-run of the game, but now that they were here, there seemed to be more of a realness to it than before. Once they walked into that building, they could not just back out. This was the final check... The final time when they could just say no and drive away.
He had to admit, however, that there was a part of him that could not wait to get into that building. The idea of a virtual reality game excited him and made him antsy. He wanted to try it out... He wanted to see what the world could be like if it were comprised of man-made illusions and ideas. He figured it would be challenging, but fun, all at the same time. He figured it would be the perfect escape away from their grandparents, who didn't really care about them anyways...
But there was that brotherly part of him too. The part that knew that his sister wasn't much for video games... He knew that she was worried... That she always worried a little more than she should at times. This time around, he had heard he talking to herself in the mirror in the joint bathroom they had. He had heard that she was worried about liking the game more so than the reality she lived in... It was supposed to be very realistic, as was described to them over the phone... But he was never one to give it much thought.
His sister, on the other hand, was different... And it worried him how she would take to the game. x x [ A i k o . T a k a h a s h i ] x x
a.k.a. [ H i k a r i ]
She had been sitting in the passenger seat, silently, for the entire car ride that lasted a whole of half an hour. The air conditioner that was blowing at her made her hands and cheeks cold, draining the color even more so from her face than need be. She had to admit to herself that she was a little scared and frightened by what could happen that day. She was agreeing to take part in a demo version of a new virtual reality game. It was a bit intimidating just thinking about it.
She had never been one to enjoy the thrill of video games much. She would have much rather read a book or write a story, or just go outside to the country and take pictures of the beautiful sights. But, her brother seemed excited about it when he first read the invitation, and because of his excitement, she too felt it. And yet, sitting there in the parking lot, she was unsure.
The guard at the gate had been kind enough to let them through without much hassle, which, for some reason, she did not expect. Most grown-ups she met always gave them trouble, asking where their parents were and yada-yada. The same old trouble. It bothered her, at times, but she tried not to let it get to her. She tried to merely smile and laugh and make up excuses. Now that she thought on it, she lived through her excuses... She breathed the lies... She was just that.
She snapped out of her thoughts when her brother spoke, and she blinked, looking at him and smiling. She hoped he would not realize that it was forced, fake... Like everything. "Yes, I'm sure. Let's do this!" she said enthusiastically, and nodded her head, picking up her jacket and exiting the car. Alongside her brother, she walked towards the towering building, entered through the automatic sliding doors, and both of them handed the woman at the front desk their invitation letters.
She noted the that the woman at the front desk had a fake smile and a certain anxiety about her person. Glancing at the pieces of paper, she indicated toward the elevators, and she and her brother walked towards them, taking one of them up to the 27th floor. The time was 9:50 am.

 J u n . M a s a m o r i ... Jun glanced down at his watch and then back at the strange note he had received. It was an invitation. An invitation to virtual world where anything is possible. It could be a new beginning. Somewhere that promised a fresh start for him. He could forget his past and be who he wanted to be. It was very intriguing. But Jun was a little skeptical. He'd been to arcades with so called "virtual reality" games. They were just a sham. They weren't real virtual reality.
Despite all his skepticism, Jun chose to go anyway. He didn't really think this virtual reality game would be any different from the ones in the arcades, but It couldn't hurt to see what it was all about. After all, it wasn't often someone got an opportunity to test out a new game, even if it is a piece of junk.
So Jun stood at the entrance to Gaming Industries and looked back at his watch. The clock read 9:51 am. He walked through the sliding doors and took a look around at the lobby of the huge tower. It was very clean and modern looking. It looked more like a high-end hotel rather than a gaming company. Jun checked the address on the note to make sure he was at the right place before walking up to the secretary at the front desk.
"Hi, um... I got this letter in the mail, and I was just wondering." Jun's voice trailed off as he spoke. Apparently he didn't quite make his point because the secretary looked a little confused. "Are you here for an appointment or something?" She asked. Jun pulled out the slip of paper he had received and she instantly pointed towards an elevator to her right. "Thank you." he said as he stepped inside the elevator and pushed the button for the 27th floor.

 -Hideki|Nakamoto- Hideki was striding down the street, cigarette hanging loosely from his lip and a glare in his eye. He made even most of the local yakuza run in fear. He looked like a high-class thug. His loose black shirt was only buttoned up part of the way, and his black slacks looked quite nice. Then again, he was essentially born with a silver spoon in his mouth, so these were his 'casual' clothes. Upon arriving at Gaming Industries, he looked at his watch. He still had time. Hideki walked up to the building, flicking the butt away as he stepped inside the building and made his way to the secretary. She looked up and instantly grew horrified. He could literally read her thoughts through her eyes.
Oh god. God. I'm dead. I'mdeadI'mdeadI'mdeadI'mdead....
"Oi. I got this letter."
Hideki tossed the letter onto her desk, leaning on it and looking off to the side. After a moment, he heard the secretary clear her throat and turned to her.
"A-ah... y-you want the 27th floor. The elevators-"
"I've got eyes."
Hideki 'coldly' cut the secretary off and went off and into the elevator, holding it open for some dork.  -Naota|Ninamori- Naota scratched his head, confused. Just where was he? He looked around, and only saw a scary yakuza/gangster-looking guy. Naota would have approached him and tried to talk to him, except he looked really angry. Like, the kind of angry that would get his head ripped off if he even said anything close to cheery. Which Naota always was. Naota instead figured this guy kind of knew where he was going, so he'd follow him until he got his bearings. He stayed a good ways back, and little did he know, they were going to the same place. Upon his arrival, Naota just figured him for one of the really high-up executive-type douchebags and not a fellow tester. He saw him talk to the lady at the front desk, who looked just as scared as he was scary, then walk off. Naota then entered the building looking at the clock. Oh, so he did still have good time.
"Hi! I got this..."
Naota beamed an absolutely huge smile at the front lady, who seemed to at least reflect some of his happiness. She took Naota's invitation and pointed him off after the scary guy, who, surprisingly, left the elevator door open for him. Wow. That was a surprise. Naota could feel the burning glare, so Naota kept his gaze away the gangster, hoping not to get caught up in a fight.

 Haruka skidded to a stop at the Gaming Industry building, panting as she caught her breath and straightened out her uniform. Since she didn't have a car, she had been forced to run from the train station. The girl shivered when she thought of how her mom would react when she heard she had skipped school to try some game. Then again, it would be a nice break from being harassed by her classmates. Lately their pranks had gotten a bit more severe, probably because she had stopped reacting to them...
Looking up at the building, Haruka felt butterflies in her stomach. She had never been a part of a big event before, and talking to her friends last night had gotten her even more exited. They had told her how awesome it would be once they started the game and she was already a big shot player... She smiled, then gasped as she saw her watch. It was already 9:45. "Ah! Not good! She cried as she sprinted through the door. The secretary directed her towards the elevator and she quickly jumped on, anxious to see what awaited her at the 27th floor.
