Aliya slipped her glasses off, setting them on the corner table next to her.  Ever since the first time she'd immersed during the beta testing, when she'd almost broken them because they'd slid off her face and under her, she'd taken them off before immersing.  She sighed, closing her eyes, feeling the real world slip away, the world around her vanishing in a swirl of mist as she sank into the game world once more, for the first time on her new character.  It had taken her some time to choose the character and the background, but now....<br/><br/>She shook her head, moving her arms around and examining them to make sure there was full immersion.  They both moved at her mental command, and looked completely normal.  She took a moment, her finger flicking this way and that, before settling down, a glow of light surrounding her in a wide circle, several blue marks appearing on her face as a large masculine figure with a large blade on his back appeared in a kneeling position before her.<br/><br/>Rising slowly to her feet, she rested a hand on his shoulder with an affectionate smile.  "C'mon, Kaneyoshi, let's go see what kind of trouble we can get into," she said with a smile, and turned toward the inn, knowing that was going to be the best place to start.
