It felt liberating being able to speak to someone. "Where are you from miss? you don't look like you came from Yokaimon" He lifted the brim of his hat just enough for his eyes to be visible. He looked around, seeing if anyone else was approaching before he turns his attention back down to her, and smiled.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>"What!? Are you saying I dont belong there?!" May exclaimed angrily, "That other boy from your game said I didn't belong there!" She crossed her arms. "I'm..an Avatar, that means I'm stuck here.....they wont wont let me into any of the games..." She said sadly....you're lucky....Pivolt is a real cutie, I wish I could get one....but all I have is this..." she held up a broken doll that was impossible to tell what kind of animal it was. Mostly an assortment of broken toy parts she had found that had been disgarded by various characters.<br/><br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=167208.msg7827080#msg7827080">Quote from: Major Major on 05-03-2013, 07:19:51</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><strong>James Copper<br/>Desktop</strong><br/><br/>Once he was cleared through the gate, Jimmy strolled out into the main concourse, slipping a toothpick into the corner of his mouth to chew on, mostly do give him the expected 'Cowboy Drawl'. It looked pretty busy today, he mused, as he slowly strolled along the path towards his favourite drinking establishment. About halfway there, he noticed a young girl seated on a bench outside that <em>Yokaimon</em> game, talking with that Player Character from the same game; Jim could never remember his name.<br/><br/>He then also noticed that the girl looked like she'd been crying, which tugged at his heartstrings - Jimmy had a feeling that he knew what had been going on, and it made him seethe inside. If there was one thing he hated, it was gutless yellow-bellied curs that pushed people around, and that went double if kids were the ones being pushed around. He pushed his hat back to clear his eyes and unfastened the strap on one of his holsters as he walked over. "Well, howdy there, lil' lady." he drawled to the young girl. "So, what's all this commotion all about here then, if I might ask, that is?"<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>"Just the usual mistreatment of Avatars....not uncommon here on the desktop. Neither is the graffiti display from the guys and girls of that Sky King Game, the security is having a usual fit over cleanup" May smiled a bit thinking about the choas that had ensued. She could always count on that ragtag bunch to throw off the monotony of the desktop.<br/><br/>As they conversed she felt a little better, glad to have some game characters who seemed not to care about her lack of achievments or Avatar status, but then the trio felt a cold chill pass behind them. A dark figure walked past, casting a powerful evil Aura about him. He was at least 8 feet tall and wore black armor with evil faces patterned throughout, his sword was even more bone-chillingly frightning than the man himself, he did not speak, but the sword did, a whisper enimated from the blade that spread through the wind. "Destiny........." It hissed before the whisper was broken up within the breeze.<br/>In the blink of an eye he had made his way into the nearby alleyway behind the train station.<br/><br/><strong>Bad-Anon----</strong><br/>"Alright, that was a good meeting, same time next week guys, Bob-Omb said he's bringing cake for us, they're celebrating the release of Mario Bakery"  Clyde Ghost stated.<br/>"Just please....don't let Pyramidhead  cut it this time...last month was a fiasco." Dracula stated.<br/>"I keep telling you, it wasn't my fault!" Pyramidhead groaned.<br/>"Guys...remember to keep that anger under control, we dont want those stereotypes creeping up on us now do we?"  Clyde said as he butted in before an arguement started.<br/>Suddenly the power flickered before going out. There was an evil laugh in the darkness .<br/>"You've all gone soft....such a disappointment..." The voice echoed from the dark.<br/>"I'd ask you to show yourself so we can speak." Clyde ordered.<br/>"Show myself? so soon? The plot hasn't even begun to unfold.....look at you all, so much potential.....wasted...so much violent.....energy amongst you....haven't any of you wanted.....more? Do any of you wake up wishing you weren't reviled....hated? You're villains....always goign to be held back by the hero....it's time to step up.....and take back our worlds!" the voice hissed.<br/>"You're lying...trying to tempt these good game characters from a constructive and productive path!" Clyde shouted into the dark void.<br/>"Productive? Not when you were all programmed to destroy....." the voice taunted.<br/>"We were programmed to fulfill a role in the plot, what we do outside our game is our own choice." Clyde replied.<br/>Suddenly a light shot through the void.<br/>"Get back...whatever you are....your words ring hollow here!" the old man hissed.<br/>"Ah....Seraph....you use the light as if you know it well....but your heart is the darkest of anyone here......in time you'll see my friend....in time you'll see..." The voice said before the shadow vanished and the room returned to normal.<br/><br/><strong>The Desktop----</strong><br/>The security suddenly finished their squabble and made a break for the large confrerence hall. The alarm light was flashing causing concern among some of the game characters.<br/>"Don't worry, just a threat, no harm was done folks, return to business." one of the guards ordered.<br/><br/>Jeanette's multi-tool beeped to warn her of an incoming message.<br/>-Col. We have just recieved word of an online-multiplayer Beta being released, we're sorry for the short notice but it's a surprise release from the company and not widespread release, it will be available tommorrow, more information to come when it has been aquired.   Signed  - Captain Jarvis
