The screen flickered black for a moment, nothing visible against the inky darkness that surrounded the screen, it's blank brightness the only lightsource that illuminated the dark room. Suddenly, a tiny icon began to revolve at the corner of the screen. Upon closer inspection, it appeared to be some sort of globe. It flashed a hazy blue, before fading into white, then green, then back. A single letter pulsated at the epicenter of the orb, a dark blue that blended it well with the rest of the screen.

All was quiet, until a familiar jingle rang through the noiseless room. Something stirred in the darkness. A pale hand extended into the air, only visible due to the sudden contrast amidst the total black. A second hand rose slowly to match the height of the first. A low groan rumbled through the room, as finally a head poked out sleepily from among the covers, straining it's eyes against the illumination from the screen. The screen brightened for a moment, causing the person to recoil, withdrawing back into the safety of the bedsheets.

Something beeped, as a blindingly white mini-screen popped onto the monitor. The person rose slowly, shielding their eyes, as she stumbled blindly towards the computer, stepping on several controllers, and disc cases lying throughout the entire floor, grunting in pain and discomfort the entire time. Finally, the person took a seat, blinking, and squinting as his eyes slowly adjusted. He could not read the entire entry, only able to read a word at a time, before he had to blink his eyes closed for a moment, so he "skimmed" through the news report. He managed to read something about update, virtual reality, while the rest he ignored.

Fumbling for one of the controllers he had stepped on earlier, he maneuvered the mouse over an Icon that said "play", as the brightly colored notification disappeared, and was replaced with what seemed to be a newly redesigned login screen for the popular MMORPG "The World"

"Interesting" he muttered, as he connected the control pad, synced it with The World, and donned the Virtual visor, before Logging into The World.


OOC: oky, I hope this intor post doesn't bug anyone, since it was kinda "technical" and I felt lazy enar the end, so I didn't exactly post hwta I was doing in The World, other than logging in.
