Nana was carefully set into her cradle, with much help from Hideyaki-san and a few other employees of the Echo Game corporation. Before pulling the visor down on it, she gave her butler a smile, which he returned and gave her hand a squeeze. [color=#007777][b]“I love you Hideyaki.”[/b][/color] Nana whispered as she held his hand tight. [b]“I love you too, little bee.”[/b] She heard his deep and somber voice reply before she was swept away in a blur of colors.

The intense amount of white was the first thing that threw Nana off-guard and caused her to stumble a bit, the second thing was she realized she was standing. Standing! Her long, slender legs tapered off into hooves, shocking her initially even though she had asked for this race. She tried to move her left leg forward and wobbled on the first step, but soon she was prancing around in the corner of the room excitedly, her dusky gray hair flowing behind her. She didn't care who saw, blast them all!

She reflexively ducked down when a female voice shouted across the enclosed space, slightly echoing off of the sterile white walls. Nana had no idea who the lady at the other end was, but Nana hoped she never got on [i]her[/i] bad side while in the game. That was when Nana noticed everyone clustered around the backpacks, and a bright pink fabric caught her eye. It wasn't her favorite color, but it reminded her of something...

Coming closer, carefully moving through the throng, Nana found herself at [color=#f6569f][b]9. The Pink Backpack[/b][/color], and she had been right. One of her favorite cartoon characters faces was plastered on it, and Nana picked it up, mouthing under her breath, [color=#007777][b]“Swiper no Swiping!”[/b][/color] She couldn't suppress a small giggle as she hugged the backpack to her. This was the perfect backpack for her, or so she thought. [i]Adventures! Fun! Possibly a talking map...[/i] Nana tried to peer through one of the flaps but to no avail. It was securely shut for now, and the rest of the people were milling about choosing, and sometimes nudging each other out of the way of backpacks.
