The Spiritual Realm, huh?  ...Damned empty place.  She'd always imagined such a place, if it existed, would have more going on than just a training area and an endless blank void.  But what did she know?  However, Aika's response made her heart jump.  She couldn't say it any more than Joy was, but she acknowledged being in the game.  Which meant that she was like her!  Him!  He was a him, not a her.  Right?  But they were both here, pulled into the game that was now somehow both real and not real.<br/><br/>"Whoa!"  Joy jerked back at the text that popped up in front of her face.  "It has got to stop doing that."  But it wasn't, and she knew that.  Maybe she'd get used to it.  A reward and advancement, huh?<br/><br/>She followed Aika and gawked at the statues that fell down.  They were pretty wild looking.  There was something about the four-armed figure that was...it tugged at her.  Like it was familiar but she was sure she hadn't seen it before.  "All right.  Let's do this."  She stepped up in front of the statue that had her name on it and then gasped as power surged through her.<br/><br/>Her mind's eye filled with a vision of...a character sheet?<em>Her</em>character sheet.  Holy shit.  There were blinking spots on it for her Techniques and a note off to the side mentioned she could increase any two of them.  "Ookay."  She moved the points into Break The Storm and Earth Splitting Fist, not really quite sure of what either was, and then she gasped as she felt that surging power grow for a moment and then fade away as the feeling dimmed down.  She hoped those were the best choices...she really should have looked more into the game like her friend had.  He would know what all the moves were.  Joy just had to do what felt right.<br/><br/>She then bowed to the statue, another thing that felt right, and stepped back.  "Okay.  I feel stronger, a little.  Now what's going to happen?"
