  Greetings hackers, I am Trisste.
As you're probably wondering about why you feel rather sluggish lately (or simply ready to shut down in some cases), allow me to explain the situation to you in a simple manner.
You have been infected by a virus known only as CHESHIRE. Little information is known about this virus, only that it takes the shape of a hacker and has no known full cure.
However, there is an anti-virus loose in the main systems of .NET headquarters, an anti-virus by the name of WHITE RABBIT. This anti-virus also takes the shape of a hacker, but its full appearance is unknown, much like CHESHIRE.
There is a way for you to be cured, don't worry and follow my instructions. We can find WHITE RABBIT. We can all be saved.

Here are the basics of how play will occur, and how to possibly attract WHITE RABBIT
- * - At initial log-on, the player's hacker is infected at 20%
- * - On their initial turn, players have the option of starting a manual search for WHITE RABBIT or can ask Trisste for help.
- * - On their second turn, players will roll and 20-sided die. If the number that comes up is even, WHITE RABBIT will appear on the next turn
- * - On their turn, players will interact with WHITE RABBIT in any way they choose except for trying to grab it, catch it, etc.
- * - On its turn, WHITE RABBIT will roll a 12-sided die. If a multiple of 2 or 3 comes up, on the next turn WHITE RABBIT will flee and the hacker will only be healed 5%. If it comes up any other number, on the next turn WHITE RABBIT will stay and heal the hacker 10%
- * - On their turn, players will interact with WHITE RABBIT in any way they choose except for trying to grab it, catch it, etc.
- * - If it stayed to heal, on its turn WHITE RABBIT will roll a 20-sided die. If a multiple of 2, 3, or 5 comes up, on the next turn there is a high chance CHESHIRE will appear. If this occurs, WHITE RABBIT will flee

Here are the basics of how play will occur, and how to interact with CHESHIRE
- * - CHESHIRE may appear at random, or following a roll by WHITE RABBIT
- * -On their turn, playsers will have the choice to interact with CHESHIRE or try and flee
- * - On its turn, CHESHIRE will either interact or roll a 20-sided die. If a multiple of 2, 3, or 5 comes up, on its next turn all interacting hackers will have their infection rate increase 5%. If it comes up any other number, there is no increase in infection and on its next turn CHESHIRE will roll again.
- * - CHESHIRE will repeat its infection attempts 2-3 more times before it will leave
- * - On their turn, plays have the option to flee with no chances of being followed by CHESHIRE, as Trisste (and Sionce) will aid in escape
- * - If the player has chosen to flee, their infection rate will increase 2% for every turn that they do not try to seek out aid of WHITE RABBIT
- * - If the player has chosen to flee, after their intial contact there isd always a 10% chance that CHESHIRE may show up at random, increasing their infection rate 10% each round (or until their escape)

His footsteps left no sound as he walked amongst the data trails of the main cyber highway, his icy eyes scanning back and forth as he tried to gain a general location of where he was.
When Sionce had injected him into the server behind White Rabbit, Trisste had sped in without really paying attention to where he was, but now that he's gotten over the moments of dizziness that accompanied re-entering the headquarters mother frame, he was doing his best to make his way to an initial point of starting.
< According to this program...White Rabbit is near here...but.... >
He paused as he took in more of his surroundings, and after a few seconds he felt a ping of data let him know where he was exactly, and how to get back to where he should be. Many of the hackers he was going to be assisting where very young, hardly children, and they wouldn't know this area too well.
An area they would know, he thought, would be the entrance point. I'll wait for them there.
With that he slowly made his way to the access point of the mother frame, and he crossed his arms as he waited for the first of the infected hackers to arrive - as their guide through this Wonderland.

Yawning silently as he strutted through the data, he quietly searched for his friend Trisste. I don't get him, Li'tae pondered as he moved about, I just don't get him. He'd been feeling a little off since the encounter with Chesire, and since Trisste had said he was in search of the White Rabbit, Li'tae figured that if he stuck with one, he'd be sure to find the other.
Now, where would Trisste be at?
His lips curled into a frown as he thought about what his friend had been talking about, as he made a fake light bulb flash above his head. Aha! The entrance point! If he were to be going to help new hackers, he'd want to be where they'd find him the quickest.
Picking up his pace, he quickly came in sight of the entrance point - and Trisste. Giving a wave, he settled down next to his friend, before giving a slightly less cheery than normal greeting.

Aiko rolled through he entrance, the level of her hyperactivity at an all time high with the thought of getting to go to a new place and look for a cute little bunny. Terra followed lethargically behind the purple and black hacker, not amused in the slightest. They were infected with a virus and would meet an untimely end if they didn't manage to cath this elusive white rabbit- how on earth could the stupid child be so excited over that?
Taking a quick look around, the elemental hacker quickly noticed two elders standing close to the entrance. Keeping his distance- he did not like creatures that were bigger than him- Terra pondered over what they were doing here.
Terra's comment brought Aiko to attention, and she finally noticed the two big hackers standing over by the entrance. One of them sure did look familiar...
That's right, she new him! But not the other, who was big, just like Trisste was. Rolling over to the two, she greeted them,
Terra stayed off toward the entrance, a little annoyed at the child's over enthusiastic actions in general.

Trisste looked up as someone warped into the area, and he felt his heart drop down into his stomach as a familiar character made its way over towards him. It wasn't that he was upset to see Li'tae, it was more like...
< Hello....Li'tae. >
He returned the same watered greeting and turned his glance back down towards his feet, his wings dropping against his back as his whole body seemed to try and turn away from his companion. He was spared from further conversation, however, as he felt the presence of two newcomers into the area.
< It's...Aiko, isn't it? It has been a while since I've last seen you. >
Trisste smiled down at the child hacker, actually taking a moment to reach over and pat her atop the head before pulling his hand quickly back. His gaze turned up towards the young adult that hovered a distance away from the small trio, and his brow creased as he tried to place a name.
< You're called Terra. >
He and Sionce had found Terra together, though at the time he was just 'elemental male hacker' and spent most of the time in a reserved bin until he was released out to a computer, so it had taken a moment for the Elder to recognize him.
< Yes, I am here for White Rabbit. You could call me your guide through here, if you'd like. >
He placed a hand over his chest and gave a mild bow, his wings splayed widely behind his body and his back turned towards Li'tae. Although it was unintentional, it felt better for Trisste to not...look at at him so closely.

Terra gave a slot nod, feeling slightly recognizing the two- they were from the shop. That stupid shop where he had gotten infected at.
While Terra brooded, Aiko bounced happily, delighted by her little pat on the head, and gave a little bow to Li'tae when he introduced himself, thinking of "resident trouble maker" as some kind important title. She watched as Li'tae sat himself down, taking this more as a sign of laziness then cluelessness.
Not sharing in Aiko's joy, Terra observed the actions between the two elders. Compeletely ignoring her comment- he did that a lot- he looked over towards Li'tae,
He let his sentence run off, not sure what word to end with. Not that it matter, they could fill in the blank themselves.

As Terra spoke, Trisste felt the hair on the back of his neck stand up and his cheeks turned a bit of a darker shade of brown at the question and sort of crude language.
. .. ..Is it that obvious? What am I going to do?
His mind paniced as he thought about how to fix his actions, but to suddenly change and act overly friendyl would be a dead give-away that something was uneasy. Oh well.
< Never mind him, what can I do for you both? You're obviously here to find White Rabbit, so do you want to do a manual look for him or have me aid you? I'm not charging for my services on this go around, so don't worry about if you have enough to pay. >
Not that Trisste wouldn't have liked to be taking data packets. He really wasn't the type to do things for free, but given the situation he had no choice.
< Actually, why don't we try looking together as the first group? I've got a general idea of where he is, so - >
His conversation stopped as loud PING filled the air, a sound that echoed in his ears and made him wince slightly. The sound seeme to be coming from an area just a bit in front of them, as the space warped a figure stepped out and into view.

Li'tae's face was brushed with the faintest traces of pink at Terra's question. Standing up in response to the implication that he was lazy, he shrugged before shooting a slight glare Trisste.
Ignore me, will ya?
Stepping closer to the trio, he sullenly responded.
At the White Rabbit's appearance; however, Li'tae quickly stepped back again. He didn't really want to deal with that thing again until it was absolutely necessary to - especially not after it had tricked him into becoming infected!
He glowered out at the Rabbit from his position behind Trisste, secretly glad that the other hacker stood between him and the Rabbit. He didn't really trust himself to not try to attack the Rabbit at this point in time.

Aiko looked from Terra to Trisste to Li'tae, not really understanding Terra's question. She didn't have much time to think about it though, for a few moment later a loud PING filled the air, causing her to jump in surprise and then duck down, covering her large head with her little hands.
The answer came quickly enough, and she slowly turned around to see the white rabbit, verbalizing her first thoughts while a little "?" appeared above her head.
Not that she was complaining or anything- it may not have looked like the bunny she was expecting, but it was still very pretty. Plus, it was suppose to make her and Terra better, too. Looking up towards Trisste, she asked,
Terra on the other hand, who had been quite amused at the response to his question and made mental note to bring up the topic again when his life wasn't at stake, didn't bother to ask questions. At the sound of the PING he had swiftly turned around, and quickly looked over the white rabbit. The white part was obviously accurate, and Terra was a tad curious about the cure's left eye- this curiosity, he decided, would make a great conversation starter. Taking a few steps towards the white elder, he asked,
Really, he wasn't sure if he should expect a response or not, seeing as the rabbit was suppose to be an anit-virus in hacker form. Did anti-viruses talk?

White Rabbit turned its head as it noticed a group of hackers standing nearby, and as one slowly started to approach and speak, it took a few steps back and opened its eyes a little wider.
< . .. .. .... >
No sound came from the figure as it took a few steps forward this time, its left eye glowing oddly as it reached only a few feet away from Terra. The glow deepened as it raised its head towards the other three hackers, and as it laid eyes on Trisste and Li'tae its jaw dropped open as well, like it was going to speak.
< .. ... ... >
The mouth moved as no sounds came out, and it motioned with its hands for Trisste or Li'tae to come closer, though it stopped as its head suddenly swung to the left.

Regretfully having caught the gesture of the Rabbit, Li'tae moves stiffly towards the anti-virus. As he walked past Trisste, Li'tae shot a small glare in his direction and continued on his way towards the Rabbit. His fists were clenched tightly at his side, and he tightened the muscles in his jaw as he reminded himself that he couldn't hurt the anti-virus. Yet.
Stopping just in front of the Rabbit, he tilted his head, "What do you want?"
The Rabbit's fears about Chesire showing up were slightly catching, having experienced the Chesire full force just the night before, Li'tae found himself glancing around periodically to ensure it wasn't coming up on them unexpected.
Damn it. I hate not having all the answers! Even as he thought it, he didn't know if the thought was frustration at Trisste, the Rabbit, or even at himself. This entire situation was just aggravating and out of his control. Something he didn't like.

Both the Hackers arrived in the Cyberspace. Thyra looked around for a while when Enya kept a cautious eye on the Ice Hacker.
< So. I'm stuck up with you to find the White Bunny? >
< It's Rabbit. >
< Whatever. I wished I could find Terra in here somewhere >
< Aren't we supposed to search the White Rabbit? >
Thyra glared at Enya, though had to admit in the end that she was right. For once. Delaying the search would defenatly worsen the infection, and she didn't wanted to know what would happen if it fully took over.
< Yeah. We are. Where's that white furball? >
< Maybe we should ask the guide Mr.Fiach spoke too >
< Go ahead. I'll be fine on my own. It can't be that hard to find a bunny. >
Enya looked defeated to the ground and left. Though she was nervous and unsure, quite afraid to meet the 'Cheshire-cat' Thyra had spoken so bad about, she was also happy to be seperated from the older Hacker. She felt much better without her, and quickly gathered all her courage to search for Tresste
