First Shot

[tank_sniper]

[There is yet another new and confused face wandering around Mac Anu today. This time, it is a petite Steam Gunner. Currently her attention is split multiple ways; sometimes she is checking her Relic with a look of frustration, others she is looking intently at her surroundings as if it may clue her in on some big secret. And on some occasions, she will stare directly at your character, almost expectantly. At any rate, it is clear she will not be the first to approach, so that will be up to the other to initiate.

However… once approached, she is quick to fire off a question before any pleasantries can so much as begin.]

Where is this place? It isn’t GGO… But it can’t be SAO, either.

…Is it?

[Her voice is calm with only a slight tinge of suppressed fear. Whatever it is she’s saying, it must be some cause for concern. Why else would someone work so hard to control the tremors in their voice?]

Nope, it's neither of those things. I'm afraid we've updated to an entire new edition.

You're new here? I haven't seen you around before.

...Um, sorry, I'm not sure what you're talking about. The city is called Mac Anu, though, and I heard that it and everything connected to it is a game called The World.

Hello! [ Her smile is unguarded, as always. ]

Welcome to Mac Anu!

[Kirino's nearby and decides to pipe up when he hears the girl.]

This place is called Mac Anu. It's part of a game called The World.

[ just passing by, when you catch his attention. after a moment of scrutiny and watching you walk by, he'll speak up-- ]
