.hack//Pluto's Kiss

Alright, you're playing The World one day. The game goes nuts and you decide to bail, you end up with a coma along with a bunch of other people.

Pluto's Kiss (the world-wide power outage) has struck again. Without warning and whoever tries to escape ends up in a coma. Your goal is to find out what's wrong with it.

One thing is for sure: Whatever the answer is, it's within "The World".

To add more: The World is a MMORPG in the future. I'll try not to spoil it for the ones who want to play it, but members end up in coma's in mysterious ways that even leave the administrators baffled.

There's 20 million units out there and being used around the world, and people skip work and their whole lives to play it. It's in the record books for about everything. It is also a virtual reality, headphones and everything.

When you're in a coma, you are still trapped in the game. The game becomes your reality. You can feel, smell, taste and all the other senses like it's your reality, when everyone else thinks it's a game.

I won't go into spoilers again, so I won't tell you what happens to the victums. PM me if you want to know.

Pluto's Kiss is a virus that basically hit several years before The World was opened. It basically crashed everything based on electricity. Computers, televisions, phones, cell phones, games, lights, alarms, smoke dectectors...

For 72 minutes, you virtually lived back in the middle ages.

Afterwards, the computers in the Pentagon thought it was a nuclear attack and nearly launched all their missles.

They never caught the person who did it, and they actually banned all computers shortly afterwards for two years until the corporation that made the world promised a stop to all the viruses.

It happened in a city for about 12 hours in the game. It was hell on Earth afterwards.

What the story is about is it happening again, worldwide, for a longer time.

And there's still people trapped inside the game...

 

"Roxalyn! Look out!"

The Wavemaster barely had time to whip her head around as one of the feral lupine monsters tackled her hard, her face and body rubbing painfully into the stone and dirt ground as she slid across it. She held out her staff hand and called, "GiRai Don!" A shower of lightning rained down from above and sizzled across the monster's back, forcing it to jump off her, whining in pain.

"Ow! Dammit, you're dead!" Roxalyn's Blademaster teammate yelled, charging at the leader of the pack and slicing it neatly in half, which then faded away in a distortion of pixels and noise.

Picking herself up, Roxalyn chanted, "Ola Repth!" healing herself and her single teammate from the battle, as the lackies of the field boss disappeared along with the leader.

"Oh, now you heal me!" the Blademaster remarked sarcastically, sheathing his weapon and making his way to Roxalyn. "What happened back there? You had plenty of time to be giving me back up, but you just kept freezing! You have a slow processor or something?"

Roxalyn swallowed hard, shaking her head slightly in the negative, her free hand straying up to her cheek where a few scrapes had started to bleed, despite her healing spell moments before. "Maybe I just need to restart," she murmured the excuse.

"Yeah, maybe you should," Yojim agreed. His whole body seemed to pause on the spot before he then just shook his head. "Ah, looks like it's time to go to the movies with the 'rents. I'll catch you later, Roxalyn!" With that, he left the party, gated out, and logged off.

Roxalyn bit her bottom lip, unable to bid her friend farewell as he left. Instead, she waited for a beat or two, and then gated out of the Theta server field herself, back to the Root Town, Dun Loireag.

"I might as well go see if anyone else... would want to join my party..." Roxalyn spoke to herself, walking away from the Chaos Gate, her normally upbeat personality muted as she rubbed her injured cheek, the reminder of her what seemed as if it would be eternal imprisonment.

 

(Is anyone going to join? :( )

*wanders around the world, spear on her shoulder* It's been quiet lately. *runs hand through her hair, feeling every strand*

 

Pausing along the edge of one of the smaller areas of Dun Loireag, Roxalyn sat down and let her legs dangle over the mist enshrouded cliff. Holding her staff our horizontally in front of her, she chanted, "Ola Repth" a few times, but her physical wound would not heal.

Whimpering, she pulled her legs up to her chest, setting her staff behind her and wrapped her arms around her knees. She looked up and watched the other players go by. "Why am I the only one stuck here?" she asked herself. And then said a little louder, "It's not fair!"

She managed to attract a small bit of attention for a moment, but no one seemed inclined to speak with the n00b who was apparently having trouble with the not-very-friendly-to-beginners server.

Roxalyn made a small keening noise and turned back to watch the mist as it slowly washed over the city of stone spires, feeling incredibly alone.

 

*spots Roxalyn* You're trapped here, too? *leans against a wall, rubbing the hideous scar through her shoulder*

 

Roxalyn jumped, letting out a slight squeak before slowly turning her head to Sara. "When did you get there?" she asked, slightly breathless and embarrassed.

 

*shrugs, sitting down and stretching lazily, offering her some food from her pack* I'm a wanderer, basically. *simply*

 

Frowning, Roxalyn reached out slowly for the food, breaking a bit off and saying, "That's not what I meant," before popping the piece of food in her mouth.

A stray hand reached up to toy with her ruby earring as she watched the Long Arm cautiously.

 

*wraps arms around her legs, looking at the sky* I've probably been trapped here longer than you ever imagined.

 

"Trapped here?" Roxalyn asked, naively. It wasn't as if she didn't know what the player beside her meant, but to be honest, she did wonder why the Long Arm suddenly assumed that Roxalyn herself was in the same boat.

She turned her gaze in the same direction as her new companion, tilting her head to the side. "What do you mean?"

 

You can feel everything. Smell everything... *breathes in, taking the scent of roses in* It smells like roses here.

 

Roxalyn suddenly jerked back to get a better look at this stranger, wincing as the hand around her earring yanked, pulling the silver down hard, biting into her flesh.

She made no noise however, only took a minute to look the newcomer over better. After a moment, she breathed inward through her nostrils and smiled slightly, letting her head tilt to the side again. "Really? It smells more like pine trees and lillies to me. Clean; fresh..."

 

*chuckles, leaning back* Each to their own... How long have you been trapped here?

 

A shiver ran through the Wavemaster's spine as she was reminded of the event that led to this new existance. "A week... or so... it's hard to tell. I think I spent an entire eighteen hours in a field once, but I couldn't tell because it was always day there and it was day when I left here, and when I came back... my sense of time is so screwed up," Roxalyn shook her head, putting her uninjured cheek to rest on her knees. "What about you?"

 

*sighs* I don't even remember... It's been years since I got trapped here.

 

"Years?!" Roxalyn asked, suddenly sitting straight. She continued in a panicked voice, "But I can't be stuck here for years! I've got little sisters, and my parents and my pets..! No..." She whimpered, burrying her forehead into her arms and knees, closing up as tight as she could.

 

*puts an arm around her comfortingly* It won't happen... *soothingly* I've seen others wake up before. Just I haven't.
