Character: Konata Izumi
Fandom: Lucky Star
Player Name: Shannon

[Huh. She was wet, wasn't she?

She had gotten a towel easily enough, and was drying her obnoxiously long hair before she stares at her surroundings.]

Is it like that one game where the people were stuck inside the game? [Because she had been playing video games before this, right? But this wasn't anything like her game, either--] Maybe it's a super rare event! Or maybe I was chosen as a beta tester for something, and it glitched and now I'm in the game world!

[Yup, that sounds right. Or something.

She keeps walking, wrapping herself in the towel as she was on her way to get something dry.]

...The background music could use a little work, though. Maybe the lack of background music is part of the glitch.

[She'll probably just be talking to herself for a while. Does anyone want to help her?]

((ooc: warning! Since Konata is big into anime and video games, she might recognize your character if it's from 2007 I'm just going by the year the anime was released and earlier. If you'd rather her not do that, though, just let me know! :) ))

[What about a game? That reminded her of Mitsuo's dungeon inside the television world, it truly felt like stepping out of reality and into a video game. Chie decided to approach the girl and give her a greeting to Vatheon, even if the blue-haired girl continued to talk to herself aloud.]

Welcome to Vatheon! But, I overheard you talking..this isn't a game, you're sort of actually stuck here. It's a city sort of like Atlantis, we're under the ocean and everything..

Anyway, my name's Chie Satonaka, what's yours?

[gameplays]

[Oh, she didn't really expect to be talked to. But...]

Not a game? [She's not completely sure if she believes that or not. She's still bent and determined to think that it's a game.] I don't know, it looks like it is to me. It's a little realistic, but that's what will get it the good ratings.

Konata Izumi - it's nice to meet you.

[yellowglasses]

[This girl didn't believe her, just like everyone else that arrived at Vatheon. Welp. Time for explaining, then. But where to start..?]

Nice to meet you, too! Do you have any questions about Vatheon? If not I can just give you the general information the welcoming committee usually gives new arrivals, if you'd like. It's sort of confusing here at first.

[gameplays]

What kind of equipment do you start with? I looked around, but I can't really tell if we're supposed to get a bonus when we first get here or something.

[Maybe balance it out a little bit with those realistic graphics...the new player information could use some work.]

wow I need all of chie's icons back THIS IS CLOSE ENOUGH TO CONFUSED

[yellowglasses]

Uhh...Whatever you have on you? There isn't much need for equipment here. Like I said, this isn't a game that your in, it's a completely real city.

[Chie wasn't really sure how she could prove to this girl it wasn't a game. She hoped Konata just took her word for it sooner or later.]

what what what are you doing

[fake]

[ I GUESS AKISE WANTS TO HELP or rather, whatever she's going on about in front of him is catching his interest. is vatheon actually a game...? it's a theory that might fit, so he's putting some legitimate thought into this... until he hears the bit about the beta testing and background music.

alright, time to help her. he picks up his pace slightly until he's walking next to her and gives a light laugh. ]

It isn't a game world.

i don't know, i'm making all the wrong decisions or something

[gameplays]

[Wow Akise, stop with your gay laughing--

I mean.

She turns to look up at him, and wrinkles her nose at his response. She didn't like that response, thank you very much.]

Nice try. Are you an NPC or something to try to keep me in the environment?

[fake]

[ finding the misunderstanding on the more amusing side, he'll simply smile back down at her. ]

Not at all. I'd rather people be outside of this environment than trapped within it, honestly. [ noting the towel— ] You've just arrived, correct?

[gameplays]

Well I guess being stuck in a game would get pretty old after a while to some people. [She nods when he speaks up again, wrapping the towel around her. like a cape!] Guess towels mark it, huh? At least I was able to find that pretty fast. I don't know if this is going to be close to real life, where you can get different status ailments if you don't take care of yourself!

[fake]

[ HAHA YOU WEIRDO.. this is coming from akise so that's saying something. ]

That's correct, at least. You'll get sick just as easily... [ his eyes wander down to her soaked apparel with discernment. ] Which is why you miiight want to change into a dry set of clothes.

[ there's a pause as he pulls out a really fucking clunky looking starfish shape from his coat pocket, lifting it up so that konata can see it clearly. ]

You should have one of these.

Yes, I am prepared to be 4th walled

[saiyan_prince]

Background music?

[He looks at her like she's the alien. What a strange little human.]

awesome. here we go, then!

[gameplays]

[...She does a double take.

Once. Twice.]

Ah, man! I didn't know they had cosplayers here too! [She's going to get a liiittle closer, to look up at him.] Pretty good cosplay, if you ask me. If I had known it was this type of game, I'd have put one of my cosplays on too.

[saiyan_prince]

What is a "cosplay"?

[He sees no reason to feel threatened by the girl that's even shorter than he is. Still, Vegeta is a remarkably accurate cosplay... for the teenage version, at least. His widow's peak isn't quite as pronounced as it became later in the show. Not to mention the tail he has that is now waving curiously.]

[gameplays]

...You're cosplaying and you don't even know what it is?

[That's a little weird, isn't it?]

[saiyan_prince]

I am not doing any sort of play.

[Usually he would be more irritated, but Vegeta does have a bit of a weakness for small, cute girls. He doesn't want to hurt her, though he does have the urge to shake information out of her.]

Here, have another otaku

[otaku_hitman]

[ A cute, Japanese school girl, talking about games? This is like heaven for Travis. ]

It is like being stuck in a fucking video game without the perks of being in one. No epic background music. No quests. It is like it's bugged as shit.

awesome! B)

[gameplays]

[This might be the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

NOW this is someone who is able to speak on her level. Sort of.]

So you're the rough and tough guy of this place, right? Next you're going to tell me that this place is cursed and I can't leave, right?

[Because...she still kinda thinks she's in a game. OOPS?]

:3

[otaku_hitman]

[ an amazing one, at least. ]

Well shit. You guessed the catch of this place. There goes my big speech. [ not that he had one... ]

[gameplays]

They're all the same after a while. At least in anime, they are. It's not that hard to figure out, if you watch enough of it.

[It makes sense!]

[otaku_hitman]

This one's just missing all the mecha and magical girls.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

... Uh...

What?

*Have a Rita Mordio, Konata!*

[gameplays]

[She's just going to keep rambling.]

What're you having trouble understanding? We're in a video game!

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Wait, one of those weird things from Nam Cobanda?

Aren't those just mechanical toys?

[gameplays]

I don't know about Nam Cobanda--which sounds like something out of a video game, by the way--but they're only the best mechanical toys ever! There was even a game about you getting sucked into the game, so why couldn't it have happened in real life? I mean, the technology's not all there yet but I can't exactly log out, can I?

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

... Log out? And uh, getting sucked in like that is sorta impossible with mechanical toys.

I think.
