~Data Spell~

[Kagamine]

Zack paid close attention to everything she said as he caught his breath, he was a little puzzled by the fact that no one has even seen Ex! Wouldn't somebody know who he was? at least if not in the game, outside it? He snapped back to focus and decided to try and learn as much as he could in this situation.
"So, I assume he had something to do with you and Ulrick becoming King and Queen? Were there any before you? Hmm..... if there were I would also assume they must've been a few of the first players in Data Spell?" He asked invasively.
"Sorry if I am intruding or anything but this is just a game....." He told her hinting he suspected something else.

"The King and I are what you would call 'Betas'- that is, those who were the first to enter the game, as beta testers." Emerald began to explain. "The beta testing took place a long time ago- I can't tell you how long exactly, since I have almost no sense of time anymore, but it must've been a good number of years ago. Data Spell was rather different back then- there was a rather small number of us, here. I don't remember how many beta testers there were on this small island- 20? 30? Well, too many of us for everyone to really know everyone else, but few enough of us that we were all a pretty close-knit group. Everyone at least vaguely knew of everyone else even if we didn't know everyone personally." The Queen was growing rather fond of this young newcomer, even in the short amount of time that they'd talked. She liked his curiosity about Ex and the game. What she was going to tell him was not something that many members heard, but, she saw no harm in telling the tale. Besides, Emerald figured someone like him would be interested in knowing, and she was talkative enough to tell the whole thing.

"As for Ex, he..." she trailed off, almost laughing nervously. "Where do I begin..." she muttered quietly before continuing. "Yes, he had something to do with our becoming monarchs. In fact, you could almost say he crowned us personally." she began to explain, digging through her old memories in an attempt to recall exactly how such a bizarre turn of events played out. "It was... so out-of-the-blue. An otherwise ordinary day in the game, until this young man- no, this child approached me. Yes, I can quite clearly recall that his avatar looked no older than thirteen, maybe even younger. He was an eccentric little kid with wild dark hair, and one eye that always blazed with this purple flame. I never knew what it was for, in fact it almost looked like it hurt, but he never seemed to mind it. At any rate, it was with little more of an introduction proceeding this that he almost immediately introduced himself as, indeed, Ex. Though bear in mind it seemed impossible to believe- not only that I was actually meeting the real Ex, but that it was this little boy! Given his apparent age, I had a hard time even taking him seriously when he told me his name. I mean, his voice hadn't even changed yet! But, amazingly enough, he really was Ex. I don't remember exactly how he convinced me or proved it to me but he did."

"Anyway, he quickly turned the conversation to a bird named Ulrick- that is, the King, though he wasn't King just yet. By this point, he was just another bird I'd seen around. Actually, the only bird. Aquila didn't exist yet, and in fact, as Ex then explained to me, Ulrick and I were the only two birds within the Betas. And, since it was at this point he was finalizing the species that would be in the game to come, he originally didn't plan on making any more. But Ulrick had done... something. And that's all Ex's ever really described it as, was something. Something worth rewarding. I still don't know what ever happened between those two as, even in all these years, I've never gotten Ulrick to tell me himself what happened back then... but anyway, it was without any further explanation that Ex said to me, 'you're going to be Queen of the birds'. I hadn't the slightest idea what he meant, then. Everything was happening so fast and it all seemed to random. But Ex said that since Ulrick and I were Kahkrah's only birds, at least at the time, then we were practically part of a set, and it was only fitting that if Ulrick's reward was to be a bird kingdom ruled by him, then it only made since that the two of us rule together. He then summoned Ulrick to explain how the monarchy would come about, and it seemed even he was unaware that Ex had plans to practically make us into a couple, but he warmed up to the idea." she giggled. "At any rate, he led us to Screech, or at least the mountain that would soon be named Screech, and said he specifically made it out of soft stone that could easily be mined- and even got us started by adding the first couple tunnels and chambers with so much as a wave of his hand. He really was like God. And like such a creator, he told us that he would, from that point on, create plenty of birds that we would have domain over. And those birds would be players like you!" she cheeped excitedly, quite pleased with how she summed up her little tale. She was nothing if not a talkative creature.

"Though... neither of us have seen Ex since. Or at the very least, I haven't. He said he would step in if Ulrick ever needed help maintaining or even starting his kingdom, in order to keep his promise that Ulrick would be a monarch, but everything went according to plan and his aid was never even needed." she added. Then paused, as if considering something. "Though... it's been so long, he'd have to be nearly twenty by now! Hard to imagine considering the impression he made." she laughed. "It would be interesting to see him again one day, and see how he's matured..." she mused. "But, most members never get the opportunity to meet him even once. I suppose I should just feel lucky that I not only got to meet him, but also received quite the gift from him!"

...
"Hello" John said after a short awkward silence. He looked up at this new character. He was very...purple. Was he friendly? John really hoped that he did not mean harm, not only hours after his on-line hide was nearly roasted by a Dragon. He thought he should say something else.

"Your not the one horn one eyed flying purple people eater, are you?" He asked. Not only hoping for a laugh but hoping this would also answer the question he seeks. If he needs to run for the hills, he needs to know as soon as possible.

"Just started a people-free diet. Besides, you're a bit hairy for my taste." Ragadozo retorted, rolling his eyes. He gazed off into the forest, relieved to see they were likely alone. "I wouldn't recommend standing around without any way to defend yourself though. I may not be interested in eating you any time soon, but there are plenty of things around Kahkrah that will be at your throat without a second thought. Data Spell tends to bring out the worst in some players..."

"Well uh... to be honest, I don't know much about what the game is like outside Aquila..." Free replied nervously. He began to realize just how little he'd experienced during his time in the game, seeing as how he knew about as much as, apparently, any other newbie. "Though I don't think the game has organized 'quests'... I think it's mainly just user-driven. You know, kind of doing what you want..." he began to explain. "But uh, there's still plenty to do, and I think some user-coordinated groups and such, too, though I don't know much about them...." Free gradually became quieter and quieter as he talked, as his lack of knowledge on the game was becoming slightly embarrassing.

"Let's ask around then. Someone around town has got to know where all the excitement is at...or at the very least where we can get some training in." Ryu suggested, looking left and right as he continued down the streets of Droc. The village was so lively and full of such a diversity of people and races, Ryu found it difficult to choose who to question. A tall, scarf-wearing man with a thick Russia accent stood with an odd looking group, and while he looked like the kind of guy who would know where the battle was at. Ryu started towards the group of extremely anime-like characters, but as he got nearer he realized the russian was busy delivering some terribly grave news. While Ryu was tempted to approach them and find out what it was that ailed them, but from the sounds of it, they didn't want to be bothered. Most looked like they were grieving...and one of the girls in the group with hair that resembled a goose's flank looked downright murderous. He continued by without a word, glancing over his shoulder a couple times before he and his feathery bud were down the street. Not long afterwards a large fuzzy white creature carrying a well-endowed fairy woman on it's back. Ryu marveled at the duo, who looked especially weird, even among the crowds of Droc. He picked up the pace, practically sprinting over, when a striped dragon anthro glided down beside her...only to be uncomfortably bear-hugged into her breasts. "Wowjustkidding~" The adventurer thought aloud, instantly changing direction so as not interrupt whatever was going on between those two, which he could only imagine would get flagged for adult images by any mods wandering nearby. He slowed to a stop, glancing left and right for a suitable guide. "I've got this, I swear..." He assured Free...and likely himself...."You'll see. My take on making decisions on such adventures is impeccable." He hesitantly began to wander about the village once more, checking and double checking each side of the street. Just as his doubt in his adventure-seeking abilities were starting to stir, he suddenly froze. "There!" He exclaimed, breaking into a sprint toward the cloaked figure walking their way. So mysterious! So shady! Surely they were destined to cross paths with such an individual, someone who cloaked their experience and wisdom only to reveal his true nature to the most daring and bold. Or not.....though whatever made the hooded man hide his face ignited Ryu's curiosity.

Coming to a sudden halt just a foot before the man in the dragon hide cloak, Ryu bowed his head slightly as he started his spiel. "Hello, sir!" He greeted boisterously, bowing slightly, "You seem like the sort who knows Kahkrah well enough. I don't suppose you could direct us to the best area to train or find quests, could you?" Ryu's excited smile was unwavering, even as he noticed the green, scaley skin of the stranger. He simply hoped that this man...or, lizardman, based on how little he could see under the obsidian hood...could lead them to the risky and action-packed parts of the game Ryu so feverishly awaited.

Elsewhere still, Justice headed out of the forest, having long since parted ways with Sapphire. He yawned as he walked, having experienced quite the long day, especially given his bizarre encounter with that zombie-esque mage girl so early in the morning. The day's events had proven to be draining already... so, while he was tired and not paying as close attention to where he was going as he should've been, it wasn't long before he bumped into a two-tailed red-and-white wolf that he somehow didn't at all see before. "Oh, sorry about that." he spoke up quickly, bringing himself back to reality. Maybe I should log off for a while, I need to be more alert... the thought crossed his mind for a moment, but evidently he didn't give it too much consideration, as, next thing he knew, he was looking over the new wolf curiously. "...I don't recall seeing you around much, at least not in any of the places I frequent, but that could simply be a coincidence. Or are you new?"

Jaeger barely even looked Justice's way. How long had it been since he'd spoken to anyone in Kahkrah other than Zima? Probably not long enough for the anti-social, wingless wolf....

"No." He answered, his tone as void of emotion as his expression. "I just keep to the more isolated areas of the island." He looked to the skies, staring up at the cloudless sky expectedly.

Nathan stood in the doorway, completely silent and out of breath, he was so full of rage just a few brief moments ago, so absolutely furious as he as kicked Simon’s door down shouting at him. He had expected to find him passed out, motionless at his computer and with a Dataspell screen open; but not like this!!! This certainly wasn’t the first time Nathan had to deal with death, or even the first corpse he had found today; but it was the first time it ever hurt this bad. Nathan had tracked him down and come over here just to yell at Simon, to really let the bastard have it, but now all his screams would fall on dead ears. Nathan knew that this day would come; that Ex and this game would be the death of his friend. He had yelled and pleaded to him! He tried to warn him! He tired to save him! But his green ears refused to hear the truth! It was on that day, so long ago, that Simon made it all to clear that things like morality and friendship were less important to him then all the power and toys his sugar daddy gave him, that nothing was more important. Nathan swore this day would come, and that he wouldn’t care when it did, that the two murderous bastards deserved each other!!! And at the time, even he had believed it, but now, looking down at the cold lifeless body of his very worst friend, he fell to the ground sobbing and shouting at him. Nathan, overwhelmed with regret, desperately wished that he could turn back the clock! He should have tried harder to save him from Ex! He should have let Simon in when he showed up at his house the weekend after their falling out, instead of slamming the door in his face and telling him to stay the hell off of his property when he found out he was still with Ex!!! More then anything Nathan just wanted his friend to wake up like all the other times he passed out at his screen! He wanted him to snap out of the Dataspell trance all cranky and groggy like he always was, see him crying and call him or a fag or something!!! He didn’t care if he was still with Ex anymore he just wanted his friend back!!! It hurt to see Simon go so much more then Nathan expected it to, he didn’t get this emotional when his father passed, he didn’t cry like this when he found Simon’s kind and innocent little brother dead at his computer earlier today!!! Nathan claimed to be a virtuous man, a just one, but the fact in the matter was, that he didn’t care about the lost lives of the innocent or just nearly as much as he cared about this one dead mass murderer!!! Nathan swore that he would make Ex pay for this!!!!! That he would bring down the whole fucking game if he had to!!!! Finding his old estranged friend dead like this only strengthened Nathan’s resolve; he would sell his soul to that spider devil if he had to!!!!!! He would bring that bastard to justice and make him pay for all of the lives his game had stolen!!!!!!!!

Once he got home from that whole ordeal, Nobel logged on to Dataspell to search for details about Basilix's death, and talk to Nevermind about the whole thing if she was around...

Rain sprinkled the edges of an open window, just barely dampening the bench inside the posh purple room. The girl leaning her head against the window pane didn't seem to mind as a few stray raindrops trickled down her face. Such peaceful moments were rare and few. If only she could lay here longer, free to enjoy the refreshing breeze and the welcoming warmth of the morning sun. Clearly her time outside was practically nonexistent, as evidenced by her sickly pale skin. But despite her obvious malnutrition, this exceptionally frail body of her's was unarguably the more comfortable one, as opposed to the rotting shell she would inevitably have to return to. Her brow furrowed slightly at the mere thought of the loosely stitched skin and decaying bones she had been forced to live with every goddamn day....all because of...

Clenching her eyes tightly, she tried to keep her memories of the violet monster she so despised at bay. It had been fortunate enough she had lasted this long offline without the withdrawal starting to take it's toll. He had already stolen enough of her life, she wouldn't let him take away this precious moment of serenity. With a yawn, the girl continued to savor this bit of time she had to herself. After a few minutes of gazing down at the lush garden just a couple stories down, a knock at the door pierced the silence. She cooly invited her visitor in. A middle-aged maid opened the door hesitantly, carrying a silver tray with breakfast on it. She wishes the girl a good morning, and expresses how glad she is to see her awake and well. The girl thanks her, and after a brief pleasant exchange the maid offers to help the girl down to the garden...

After a moment of grim silence, the girl puts on her sweetest smile and declines the offer. They both knew she wouldn't take the offer. She insists she needs more rest, and the maid reluctantly nods and bids her adieu, reminding the young woman that she'll be just down the stairs should she change her mind. She chuckles, amused by the suggestion. It must have been months since she last even stepped foot out of her room.

Still smiling slightly, she carefully got to her feet. She noticed her hands shaking at her sides; the more violent symptoms were soon to follow. How limited her time away from the tyrant, the war and the shadows she had been confined to for many a year was...still, she had some insane hope she'd be able to break free....no matter how long it took. No matter who she would have to delude, no matter how many contracts she would have to have signed, no matter how many times she would have to be mutilated and mangled. And maybe....just maybe....when she did win her liberation and take down the heartless bastard behind this digital nightmare...she would be able to track down her hero...the only one among the brainless killers and cult freaks that she could actually care for....and maybe she could share one of these peaceful moments away from all the noise and panic with him.....

It's a nice dream....

After eating half the meal left for her - as per usual, that was all she could stomach - she headed for the bed where her laptop lay. "AH!" She yelped, collapsing on her bed as the pain in her head suddenly intensified. She gripped her head, groaning and cursing out at the empty room. Her breathing became labored and any sign of a stable mind had completely disappeared from her expression. A few minutes passed as she thrashed about the bed before she could finally get a grip on herself. Sneering at her computer, she dragged herself across the bed and began to click away at the touch pad. Even though her hands shook violently, it didn't take long at all for her to sign on to Data Spell. As the game loaded, she curled up at the head of her bed, grabbing the rather large lizard plush and pulling it into her chest.

Rin rose in a shallow cave, her bones creaking and cracking as she lifted herself up. Her left hand lifted shakily to her left eye. There usually was a bit of a lag before she could function properly, and it seemed today wasn't about to give her a break. Concentrating, Rin managed to fire up a spell. A glowing fuchsia haze began emitting from her hand, and when she removed it from her face her eye slipped out of its socket. It twitched on the ground for a second before moist pink butterfly wings unfolded from its back. It fluttered about the air, and was soon joined by others as more buttereyes rolled out of the empty eye socket. "Scatter!" She exclaimed, and a cloud of eyeballs and butterfly wings took to the sky. The dozens of Rin's winged eyes dissipated as they each took their own path, on their way to keep an eye on all of the vast land of Kahkrah. Once they were off, Rin blinked a few times. It took only a second and eight blinks for a new eyeball to roll into place.

The Witch of Kahkrah began her daily ritual of mending to her skin, which was quite literally coming appart at the seams. She lifted her other hand, and with a snap of her fingers needles and thread appeared. She lay back, levitating in the air as she recited the "Cinderella Spell", as she liked to refer to it. All five needles immediately got to work, weaving in and out of the sickly pale and purple skin. Rin bit her lip softly; she never enjoyed being sewn back together. It wasn't quite as painful as being torn appart, but that didn't make it any more pleasing.

Just as the last needle was making its way around her neck, a particular vision caught her interest. One of her fluttering little creations had spotted a familiar face in the woods. The heterochromiac wolf was headed straight for her pocket-sized spy, though it didn't look like he had noticed it. In fact if the eye didn't scurry out of the way he would surely.....

A sharp gasp escaped from Rin's mouth as the vision was ripped from her mind after her butterfly eye had met with a tragic fate under the Wolfspider's foot. Arching her back, the Witch burst into a bout of insane laughter. Her body convulsed in the air as she laughed harder. "I FOUND YOU!" She shouted, before evaporating into a pink mist.

Haazen analysed Equinox's movements as Equinox proved himself a much more difficult opponent for Haazen to hit than he had thought. Though there was something about Equinox's quick thinking and quick reaction time that made Haazen feel like the man had found a way to already call up the powers graciously donated to him by Ex. It wouldn't surprised Haazen to find out that was indeed the case here, after all Equinox had already proven to be a much more skilled Jewel than the others Haazen had helped take care of. But it was still so soon for him to effectively make use of them wasn't it? Haazen realized now that if he didn't put Equinox down here than this Jewel could quickly grow to be more powerful than any of the previous ones. In only a short time as well. Haazen would have to go all out in this battle, he would need to delve deep into the gift given to him by his lord Arachnid if he wanted to come out on top against this opponent. It was time to turn Equinox's analytical mind against him though that would prove to be a bit of a difficult task depending on how quickly Equinox caught on to his tactics. Haazen payed close attention as Equinox's eyes dropped to the ground, he used this momentary break in combat to gather enough magic to counter what next move Equinox would throw at him.

It was obvious from the way Equinox spoke that he was looking down on Haazen for his choice to worship Arachnid. Haazen found Equinox's pity unfounded, Haazen had found a real god in this world that had offered him the power to take his righteous vengeance to Ex. All his lord had asked in return was his devotion and for the power to make a blow to Ex Haazen was without a doubt willing to give himself over to his lord. In the end though Haazen couldn't tell Equinox about his motivation to join Arachnid as he was sure his lord wouldn't want the Jewel knowing anything about the Cult that would be hunting him. He had already provided to much information as it was. Eventually Equinox would learn about the Cult but for now his lack of knowledge was an advantage to Haazen that he intended to make as much use of as he could. Of course that was all under the impression that Equinox managed to survive long enough to get away from the battle, Haazen still had a few tricks up his sleeve.

His thoughts were put aside now as Equinox made his next move. Haazen watched his movements as Equinox dashed forward and grabbed his sword from the ground, in return Haazen took on a defensive stance with his right foot sliding a few inches back and his left foot sliding forward. Suddenly as Haazen prepared to react Equinox started performing a few acrobatics with his sword that caught Haazen off guard, Equinox's moves had become harder for Haazen to analyse as he tried to wait for the inevitable strike. His head and eyes traced Equinox's movements as best they could up until finally the moment had arrived that Haazen had been waiting for. Equinox made his move as the kick was sent flying towards Haazen. Due to Haazen's initial confusion as to what Equinox's moves were leading up to his movements had gotten slower and thus it seemed he didn't have the option of dodging the kick. It was a good thing that Haazen had other moves in mind. Haazen pointed three of his fingers on his right hand towards the ground and quickly his hand motioned upwards as he called upon his magic reserves for his next strike, he spoke a single word as he did. "Raise." With that a slim spike made of earth exploded from the ground in an upward motion towards Equinox's leg well he made the kick towards Haazen. In truth it was a trade off, if Equinox's continued and connected with the kick the skinny spike would impale his leg but if the kick was somehow called off at the last minute the spike would miss. Haazen's attack didn't end there as two more spikes shot from the ground behind Equinox, one aimed towards the arm that held the sword Equinox had impaled into the ground and the other aiming for the center of his back. The spikes all happened to be skinny enough that they would be easily broken with a bit of force but sharp enough to pierce Equinox's unarmoured flesh without much trouble.

"The King and I are what you would call 'Betas'- that is, those who were the first to enter the game, as beta testers." Emerald began to explain.

"Though... neither of us have seen Ex since. Or at the very least, I haven't.

Then paused, as if considering something. "Though... it's been so long, he'd have to be nearly twenty by now! Hard to imagine considering the impression he made." she laughed.

I suppose I should just feel lucky that I not only got to meet him, but also received quite the gift from him!"

Zack listened intently as the queen told him her tale, he was quite surprised at all the information she was giving but a little suspicious when she didn't as for anything in return, especially sine this didn't sound like information that was freely given. But he wasent complaining, quite the opposite in fact, he was excited this was important information, he just didn't know how yet.
He shook his feathered head to clear his thoughts before replying.

"Thank you, but I only have a few more questions..... for you" He nodded at the queen before his eyes started to wander around the room.
"Are all the birds apart of your kingdom? Aren't there any others or are they all here?" His eyes rested upon the kings little group.
"And..... do you think I could speak to the kin- I mean Ulrick? I just have a couple questions for him." He finished curiously planning his questions ahead of time, as he watched the birds as they worked.

[Kagamine]

“Mmm…” Justice hummed, sitting next to the seemingly rather non-conversational wolf. “Isolated areas? Like where?” he questioned, not knowing many places on Kahkrah where a wolf could so easily isolate himself. Then again, he was likely a bit more of a pack wolf than this other individual. “Friozo?”

--

The Queen nodded. “Yes. This kingdom was meant to reign over all the birds, and so we gather all of them into it. That’s the gift that Ex gave to Ulrick.” Emerald answered. “As for Ulrick himself, well… he’s a busy bird. “Not to mention, he was attacked recently!” her feathers puffed up slightly as her thoughts returned to the injured monarch. “Perhaps I should head back and see if he’s ok…” she contemplated aloud, realizing how distracted she’d become talking to this newcomer. “…Did you want to come with me?”

[catlord98765]

"The worst in people, eh" John replied to the purple man, "Doesn't the entire internet do that to people already? Although I think you are right, by what I have seen this place is dangerous and I am too low level or not well enough equipped or whatever mechanic this game uses."

John looked in the direction of the town he spawned in. "I was just heading back to the spawn point. It should be a lot safer there. I think I probably missed the starter quests or something as well."

[OokamiAlyx]

The Queen nodded. “Yes. This kingdom was meant to reign over all the birds, and so we gather all of them into it. That’s the gift that Ex gave to Ulrick.” Emerald answered. “As for Ulrick himself, well… he’s a busy bird. “Not to mention, he was attacked recently!” her feathers puffed up slightly as her thoughts returned to the injured monarch. “Perhaps I should head back and see if he’s ok…” she contemplated aloud, realizing how distracted she’d become talking to this newcomer. “…Did you want to come with me?”

Zack contemplated this for a moment, All the birds are supposed to be apart of this kingdom? He wondered if they were forced to be apart of there strange kingdom against their will or if they let those unwilling alone..... hoping on the former, he looked at the queen and replied kindly.

"Yes, if that would be okay with you?" He made sure to ask seeing as she was a queen and all, even if it was a game she most likely had some control over the rest of the feathery fellows who were flying about.

He looked at the light coming in from outside and remembered something.

"Hey!" He Inquired "Seeing as there is no Heads Up Display, is their a way to tell time? It's kinda important, and I noticed you have no clocks hanging around here." He smiled as he thought of the birds putting up clocks all throughout their caves.....
