140 Logically, Ash knew he should be panicking. Three people, all seemingly of greater strength than him, and yet the monster hadn't fallen. Yet here, standing with others, heart beating in time as they fought, just like then, just like then... As he charged, the sentry turned his way...

Ash nodded and took the second tankard in response to Hanno grabbing his. He didn't plan on getting drunk - he hated the taste of it in real life, and all the virtual reality in the world wasn't enough to make him like it here. But he could drink another mug for the sake of celebrating...

"You would think, but... well, here we are." Ash shrugs, glancing towards Hanno's shield. No doubting it - that must have been a Titanius drop, which means Hanno was definitely there. Asking if he'd died too feels rude, though. "...I can only wonder what it must been like. Being stuck for four...

Vargold Guess they added it for the reopening, but it makes sense. Having two races just for slightly different types of people with animal ears was always a little silly. (Wish they had it before. I would've made a lizard instead. Now I've got this wolf boy and I'm too attached to change. If...

fa-solid fa-quotesThis Blog is Not a Metaphor I just think gamers don't know what's going on Comments So four years ago, I was part of this West Marches style campaign. A whole bunch of people playing in the same campaign, this huge world that the DM clearly spent way too much time on. It'd...

Why did he log in? Ash blinks, as if the thought had never come to him. He knew the game was dangerous, after all - he'd nearly taken a second death just logging in, and then where would he be? And yet, here he was. "...I guess I just wanted to prove to myself that all this had been real in...

140 "What?" Ash stares as the explanation sinks in. At least he knows now that he didn't log out in some dangerous place, but... "They sure changed up the genre during the downtime, huh? I'll look forward to that explanation. Now that he's around others he can feel the erratic stutter of his...

It's a late night for Aisling. A frantic call from some accountant with too much caffeine, not enough common sense, and an early deadline has trapped her in what has become a long and frustrating online call about the importance of regular backups. It isn't going well. "Sir, if you are going...

140 Hello, we've been trying to contact you about your VR headset's extended warranty... (Spam again...) (Wonder if NuTube still has those 'scamming scammers' videos.)

"Oh, sorry." Why did he say Hanna? That was a weird mistake to make. Maybe he was more scattered from escaping Vintergard than he realized. And then, the shield rumbled, and for a moment Ash's heartbeat stuttered before falling back into calm rhythm. He looked over Hanno's shoulder, at the...

Oh. Oh no. Ash blushes furiously as Hanno's words unlock a memory, looking back towards the mug in a vain attempt to hide it. He did say that, didn't he. In the midst of the chaos of Titania he decided to be a hero, melodramatic speech and all... "I did say that, didn't I..." He looks down at...

Ash doesn't feel particularly great right now. When he was in Vintergard, all he had on his mind was getting out - dodging robots or fighting them when necessary, desperately trying to remember how to use a sword, and trying not to think too hard about the whispers and wails of the spirits...

For all of his focus on avoiding danger, Ash seems remarkably unaware of the approaching people. Perhaps it's because he's listening for something more mechanical - more likely, it's just the fact he's been playing for less than an hour and hasn't gotten used to everything yet. So when one...

A caenis swordsman haunted by spirits and cursed by loneliness. His noble facade exists to protect the player behind it, but there's more truth to it than he cares to admit. Aisling Lane ❮ ??? ❯   A woman compelled to find the truth behind Terrasphere despite the dangers. Deeply cynical, but...

Tha-thump. Tha-thump. It's been years since Ash has been in the game. Since "he" had walked in this body, dealt with its quirks and intricacies, or felt that discordant thrum in his chest that had followed him since that final strike against Titanius. He doesn't remember what he'd been doing...

DisconnectedYear 4 - 7 For a while after Terrasphere was shut down, Aisling kept trying to log in. It failed, of course. She saw the news broadcast, knew it was permanently shut down. Her brief and turbulent time with the game was over - and probably for the best, really. She 'died' once...
