Mac was still dazed from the latern impact but managed to say.

"I`m fine mommy board..."

A lone figure could be seen flying away from the group toward the heart of this new system.

Ping sighed, "I hate when games do this to me....least i hadn't moved in or anything yet"


Posted by Author X on 12.05.2003 at 10:55 PM:

 

Kenneth fell into a slightly stunned sitting position and looked around, "What the... I'm... outside the game...? Where the hell am I?"
He noticed the others still around, but no longer game enemies. And then, they started to speak, although he had no idea what they were talking about. "And who... what the hell are you?"


Posted by William Dojinn on 13.05.2003 at 04:30 AM:

 

Ping looked somewhat worried as he approached Kenneth, "Take it easy. Take a few deep breaths." He was a few feet from Kenneth when he stopped, "What's the last thing you remember?"


Posted by Author X on 13.05.2003 at 05:25 PM:

 

"I... I was at my computer, and I was trying to put my mind in a game... and I woke up, and I was there, and I found a portal to Zelda, and when I won... I was here, and the game sprites, and you, and... and... what the hell is this?" he seemed to only just notice the silver gauntlet on his arm.


Posted by Corvus on 13.05.2003 at 06:13 PM:

 

"wait wait wait..your...a....user!?"

Macs jaw dropped to as far as it could go,he couldn`t beleive what he was seeing and hearing,mind you he expected a bit more.


Posted by Author X on 13.05.2003 at 07:29 PM:

 

He blinked, "Yes...?"


Posted by William Dojinn on 13.05.2003 at 08:49 PM:

 

Ping looked a bit taken aback, "A...a....Us-Oh C'mon you have GOT to be kidding me. How gullible do I look?! That's no more a User than I am a Virus." He glared to Kenneth, "Do we look that stupid to you?"


Posted by Author X on 13.05.2003 at 09:17 PM:

 

He furrowed his brow in confusion. "No...?" he offered pathetically.


Posted by William Dojinn on 13.05.2003 at 09:43 PM:

 

Ping glares, "If you're a User, prove it."

"I don't think that's such a-"

"I didn't ask you," He rounded on the passing binome, "What's the worst that could happen?"

"He gets angry at you not believing him and deletes you?"

"......"


Posted by Author X on 13.05.2003 at 10:25 PM:

 

"Delete...?"
His gauntlet glowed for a moment, and a small, rectangular delete command materialized in that hand. There was a readout with the number 5, which began counting down with a rythmic beep. Even to him, it was fairly obvious what it was for. On pure geek reflex, he shouted "Ah! Undo! Undo!" and the process happened in reverse.


Posted by William Dojinn on 13.05.2003 at 11:04 PM:

 

Ping blinked, "What....just happened?" He curiousely took a glance at the wrist gauntlet.


Posted by Author X on 13.05.2003 at 11:54 PM:

 

"I... I actually don't know myself..."


((for the record, it's actually the kind of gauntlet that goes up to [and on the outside, a little past] the elbow. Also, here's what his icon looks like))


Posted by William Dojinn on 14.05.2003 at 05:19 AM:

 

Ping sighed and took another look around, "I think I know what system we've landed in."


Posted by Corvus on 14.05.2003 at 08:48 AM:

 

"....."

Mac was slowly taking everything in from the past few moments before sighing.

"I needs whiskey,that`ll solve all my problems"


Posted by William Dojinn on 14.05.2003 at 09:50 AM:

 

"no it won't, but its a good place to start running from them with." Ping echoed the other man's sigh. "Anyway if this is where I think we are then the nearest boozer is down that way," he gestures to a nearby road, "after the third left go straight till you reach the seconed intersection and turn right, Mick's Place, can't miss it."


Posted by Sanik on 14.05.2003 at 08:11 PM:

 

No one was really sure why the mod had decided to stay silent until someone took a head count.

"Er... Where's Mr. Font?" That person said, looking around.

"Think it was a litte too much for him." Mac replied in his thick accent. Even though he was shaken up, he leaned over Click's fainted form and whispered in a high voice: "Dearie, it's time for proccessing school... come on, get up, you're gonna be late."

Click pushed the chuckling renegade aside and stood up.

"Okay, I have assesed the situation." He began, "That's a user alright. Trust me, I can tell. Users are a type of technology that maintain the net. They're kinda like artificial intelligence. The catch is, we have to keep them entertained with things like games and messaging systems."

"Well that makes sense," Ping rubbed his chin, "I think I heard somewhere that Users are like janitors."

"'Janitor' is a good word for a user, except they are really really powerful janitors. Something must have went wrong in the system, because their actions sometimes appear to happen in the interest of entertainment or even just whims." Click replied gibly.


Posted by Author X on 14.05.2003 at 08:48 PM:

 

((psst... remember, if scanned or anythin', he'd show up as an AI game sprite, like AndrAIa... Macro, however, is connected to the system, which game him a system icon, similar to how AndrAIa was pulled out with Enzo's icon))
Kenneth stood up, and turned to Click, who (now) seemed the most sure of himself. "Okay... it's obvious 'user' means something different to me than it does for you... but I don't think I can tell you what I am unless I know what you are, or where I am. I mean, I know what I am, but I can't relate that to what you are unless I know both."


Posted by William Dojinn on 15.05.2003 at 10:23 AM:

 

Ping sighed, "I never was good at lessons but..." He shrugged. "There are millions of systems spread across the net. Each system is supposed to have one or more Guardians," He motions to Click, "Or mods, for the moment the difference is a moot point however so I won't go into further detail," Mostly because he didn't know." Every so often GAmes will drop in from On High. If we win everything's cool, life goes on. However if the User wins the whole sector is nullified...and everyone in it." He looks a bit unfocused for a seconed there, "There are...ways...to avoid this but...moving on. However there are also System upgrades that drop down from time to time at the User's discression." he see's the look on Kennith's face, "None of this is making sense to you is it?"


Posted by Author X on 15.05.2003 at 05:42 PM:

 

Incredible...
"Er... I think I sort of do... but I don't really get how it works, it really shouldn't be possible... but, anyway, the world I come from is much different... for one thing, people have skin tones like mine, or some far darker. There's pretty much one whole world, though large parts are divided by oceans into continents. Er... but the world is a sphere, called a planet, and it orbits around a sun, along with several others, and that sun is one of many billions in space that also have planets around them, though we've never visited them, and... eh... I bet this makes even less sense to you..."
"Actually, that sounds like quite a lot of games"
"...oh... I guess that makes sense. Anyway, our computers have nothing like this... mostly fairly simple programs, and the interface is just a screen, with text or a GUI, and a mouse or keyboard. Noone had any idea something like this... even could exist."


Posted by Corvus on 15.05.2003 at 05:46 PM:

 

"yea well..sum people doubted Users even exsisted,I`m gonna go make my final decision after crawling into a bottle for a few hours,later"

Shifting the weight of his giant Claymore onto his other shoulder Mac headed off to the pub,skidding to a halt at the bar.

"whiskey....ello ain`t got all day"

"I`m sorry sir but last call has passed"

Closing his eyes slowly Mac leans forward and drags the Bartender by the throat up close to his face.

"Now,listen here mate,if you don`t give me,a bottle of whiskey,I`ll punch yer fucking head in"

"y-y-yes sir"


Posted by Sanik on 15.05.2003 at 07:14 PM:

 

(Click can't scan his way out af a paper bag. He recognized Kenneth's icon. They teach you a lot more in Moderation Training than at the Gaurdian Academy, including some theory and philosophy regarding the mysterious users.)

Click ran a hand through his hair thoughtfully. "Well, one trainee in my class beleived that instead of we being the ones who created the users, they created us. Of course, he went crazy and went on a rampage, but.."

Ping and Kenneth exchanged looks.

Click became more involed with his story; getting increasingly dramatic:
"He said strange things.. Crazy... even. The kind of things that woke you up in a cold sweat in the night, when their meaning finally dawns on you...." He paused for a moment. Kenneth motioned to Ping for an explination, but Ping just shrugged. Click continued. "I.. I was the one who had to kill him. You know what the last thing he said to me was? It was--"

Click was cut off by blaring sirens from the right.


Posted by William Dojinn on 15.05.2003 at 08:34 PM:

 

"Typical, when it gets importaint the speaker gets cut off by an emergancy..or dying." Ping started walking in a seemingly random direction, "Well, standing here is getting us nowhere. I know where we are, my place is open for the moment."


Posted by Sanik on 17.05.2003 at 08:37 PM:

 

"Aren't we going to investigate?" Click pointed in the direction of the sirens.


Posted by William Dojinn on 17.05.2003 at 09:34 PM:

 

"Why bother? Its just another bust. You do as you wish Moderator, but I'm going to collect a few things I was forced to leave behind then I'm gone." Ping keeps walking.


Posted by G24 on 18.05.2003 at 08:17 AM:

 

It never failed. As soon as trouble was spotted Kilobyte appeared on the scene. Several binome cops were surrounding two virii that had been causing a ruckus. Kilobyte took down a few of the cops, providing a distraction that allowed the two cornered virii to take down the others.

"You two!" Kilobyte called out. "Follow me unless you want to be captured by a mod."

The two virii hesitated amoment and then followed Kilobyte into the shadows.

(OOC: The two virii look like Slash and Flea from Chrono Trigger and their names are Legato and Allegro respectively.)


Posted by Corvus on 18.05.2003 at 08:42 AM:

 

"IF YOUSE TAKE DE IGH ROAD,DEN I`LL TAKE DA LOW,AN I`LL BE IN SCOTLAND,AFORE,YOU!!"

Several of the bar patrons holding their hands over their head,one of them looking at the bar man as Mac sung swinging a bottle of whiskey on top of the bar top along with swinging his claymore madly.

"can`t you do anything about him?"

"I would but he hasn`t let go of that sword"


Posted by William Dojinn on 18.05.2003 at 08:49 AM:

 

Ping stopped and frowned at the scene in front of him. "Naturally..." The route he had to take just so happened to be blocked by the commotion.

"Legato, Allegro..."

The female looking Virii looked right at Ping.

"What have we here....long time no see MPEG, back for more?"

Ping gulped before grabbing his zip board and running for the hills.

ooc: Allegro and Ping have something of a history.


Posted by Sanik on 21.05.2003 at 12:54 PM:

 

Click's hand reached out of a portal and grabbed Legato by the throat, and pulled the virus through.

Disoriented, Legato could only blink before getting his face punched in.

"I am sick-" *Wack!* "-and tired-" *Smack!* "-of all these God. Damn. Viruses."

Click reached back for another blow but by that time Allegro caught up with him. She let him know with the heel of her boot.

Click rolled foreward and brought Legato in between himself and the other virus. Allegro leapt onto the side of a building and aimed a click for the moderator's gut, but ended up smacking Legato upside the head.

Click disposed of his sheild and landed a left hook on Allegro. She backflipped, bringing her feet up in a swift kick, but Click slid under her and smashed his fist in the middle of her spine. She went limp, and Click tossed her aside. Legato recovered and screamed in rage, charging at Click. Suddenly, he was 50 feet up, a white portal of static closing behined him.

"I'm doing a little spring cleaning." Click said coldy, "No virus will be spared."

As soon as the game landed and he changed back, Pixel immediately fled the system, he never liked to linger after being sighted. However, upon arriving at the new system, he started to wander down a street and was greeted by a... less than encouraging sight.

Kenneth stood off to the side, having followed Click. He still wasn't sure what to do, though he was getting an idea of what a virus was. A sprite walked up and watched the battle, entranced and somewhat horrified.


Posted by William Dojinn on 25.05.2003 at 06:21 AM:

 

After realizing his presuer had in fact chosen not to Ping puttered back to where he saw Allegro. Spotting Kennith and another sprite he frowned at what else he saw.

"Damnit, knew this'd happen." He saw Allegro laying face first on the ground.


Posted by G24 on 25.05.2003 at 03:49 PM:

 

Kilobyte appeared stealthily and plunged his sword into Click. Instead of deleting the moderator it simply drained him of some energy. The virus then helped up his compatriots and the three of them faced their opponents.


Posted by William Dojinn on 25.05.2003 at 04:33 PM:

 

Ping looked to the mod and nodded, standing just behind Click's righthand side. "For what it's worth, I'm here moderator." his left hand's hovering right at one of the many pockets on his belt.


Posted by Sanik on 25.05.2003 at 08:54 PM:

 

Click recovered from the blow and rubbed his back where he had been stabbed. Then he gave ping a quick nod.

"Good. I've only got two eyes." He said, then clenched and unclenched his fists. "Let's get to work."

He charged, holding out his gauntlet and opening a portal. But instead of going through it he ducked under it and used his momentum to slide under the enemies and get behind them.


Posted by William Dojinn on 29.05.2003 at 08:33 AM:

 

Ping threw the object from his belt at the three, causing a very bright flash allowing him to cut to their left before circling around behind Allegro.


Posted by Sanik on 29.05.2003 at 10:12 AM:

 

Click leaned back and kicked Legato in the face, then spun around and backhanded Kilobyte. Hard.


Posted by Author X on 18.08.2003 at 12:24 AM:

 

Kennith turned to the sprite beside him, "Um, hi, could you tell me-"
"HWAAAA!!" Pixel immediately panicced, turned, and ran screaming from the fight.
Kennith sighed, this is gonna be a looong day.


Posted by William Dojinn on 18.08.2003 at 06:37 AM:

 

"Miss me?" Ping had the lady virus in a headlock briefly before she, with very little effort, threw him to the ground.

"No, but i bet wished you'd never left."

"Perhaps, Ping stood, "C'mon, i know you've got more than this, why hold back? Why not go for the throat?" a welding torch was in his left hand as a hammer sprang into his left.

<lame but...feh...>


Posted by Sanik on 18.08.2003 at 01:17 PM:

 

Click swung again but Kilobyte had dissapeared. He searched the area, but to no avail.
