With nothing better to do than wait for Brakeel to report back on progress with the little goblin mugger Chuck went to sit down at the desk only to change his mind. Turning back to the panel he quickly selected a telephone, as there didn't appear to be one anywhere in the room. As he made his way over to the desk he wasn't at all surprised to see the phone sitting there waiting for him.

Picking up the receiver Chuck tapped the star button on the keypad and waited until a member of staff answered. Quickly giving his room number he asked about room service, fully aware that it had been several hours now since his arrival and he'd not even eaten anything in the real world, let alone here in the simulated one.

"We have the widest selection possible, Sir." The concierge assured him and so Chuck ordered a foot-long sandwich made with whichever was the freshest meat in the kitchen along with a breadknife so he could cut it himself, three bottles of energy drink served in a bucket of ice, a chocolate fudge sundae with plenty of ice cream and a selection of cold meats with dipping sauces to be delivered to his room as soon as possible.

With that done Chuck turned to the computer and pulled open several windows for Internet Explorer.[list][*]In the first he quickly googled whether it was possible to download Chrome onto the machine rather that the piece of s*it software he'd been provided with;
[*]In the second began a search for all references to 'the Great Wizard of the Ring';
[*]The third he dedicated to searching for information on the city, including street maps and lists of important buildings and individuals;
[*]The fourth he dedicated to searching for information on Macheel and Mateel, to see if he could learn exactly who he was allying himself with;
[*]The fifth was more difficult, as he wasn't entirely certain what to look for, so he simply began a search for 'freezing glass eye' to see if there was anything useful to be found about his little trinket;
[*]And finally in the sixth window he began an international search for reports of strange people appearing out of nowhere within the last few hours, giving the specific time of his own arrival as a search parameter. Hopefully that should be enough to try and locate his fellow players, or at least give him a clue to their whereabouts.[/list]
While the system was running, and with his food on its way, Chuck loaded up the pinball game, more out of idle curiosity more than anything else.
