[video|action for Mikasa and others in the virus town]

[ifbymyhands]

*Kano has ducked into some building with a working computer and is accessing the community from there. She keeps looking over her shoulder for the clown monsters to burst in.*

Okay, I guess this month the community decided to throw us into this city and try to kill us. Is anyone out there still alive? I'll be really disappointed if those things ate you all, you know.

[ifbymyhands]

Virus. Aside from that, I have no idea.

I'm with someone, and we're both okay so far. Even if I didn't get a sword, I've at least got... whatever's going on with Marceline here.

[ifbymyhands]

That's the vampire girl, right?

[text]

[onlysanechimera]

Yes, that's her. Though she's apparently also a guitar-battleaxe girl right now. I suppose you've had something similar happen?

[text]

[ifbymyhands]

I'm with this girl I actually haven't run into before, but we resonated pretty well.

[text]

[onlysanechimera]

Huh. Well, that's good, I suppose. Being stuck with someone you can't stand couldn't be fun.

Are you all right? These clowns look like trouble.

[text]

[ifbymyhands]

For now. I'm basically just looking for anyone still around.

[onlysanechimera]

Mm. Well, I guess this is a virus? So a fair few of us should be here. Probably in pairs like we are.

What concerns me is that I don't seem to be able to use magic. So presumably the virus removes abilities as well as disarming us and dropping us here, which is... worrying.

[ifbymyhands]

Yeah, at least the last time it did this, we got to be magical girls.

[text]

[onlysanechimera]

Magical girls? I must not have been paying attention to that one...

[text]

[ifbymyhands]

Yup. And I was in a boy band.

[dual_wield_hax]

A virus? Nothing strange in my neck of the woods, but I guess it's not affecting SAO...

[ifbymyhands]

Different kind of virus. I guess if you're not affected, though. You'd know if you were.

[dual_wield_hax]

Certainly sounds like it. I don't know how much good a level 10 is good in a situation that sounds too much for me to handle solo at the moment.

[ifbymyhands]

I can't fight at all, so you've got me there. Are you in some kind of game?

[dual_wield_hax]

Yeah, SAO - Sword Art Online. It's a bit of a story, but basically I'm stuck in it.

[ifbymyhands]

Stuck in a game? I've heard weirder by now.

[dual_wield_hax]

I guess in this place, people have. But yeah, stuck in a game, can't get out, and if anyone dies, they die for real.

[ifbymyhands]

That is just plain creepy.

[dual_wield_hax]

It really is. And horrible. Too many people are dying.

[ifbymyhands]

Do you know why?

[dual_wield_hax]

New players panicking, depression, taking their own lives in-game, player killing, traps and trap monsters... it's a mess, and the beta testers are being blamed for the bad stuff going down.

[ifbymyhands]

But it's not your fault you're there!

[dual_wield_hax]

They blame the testers for not sharing hunting spots, and taking all the good quests. There's only a limited amount of quests in this build and I honestly don't think everyone will get a crack at even five percent of the content.
