[hider=Writing Sample]In the midst pandemonium the girl looked exceptionally calm, to a disconcerting extent. But upon scrutiny one would note not the presence of composure, but its complete absence. As people sped by on aimless tangents Marionette remained completely rigid, as if the hooded figure in the sky was the originally bearer of her strings and had just discarded them with his departure. Now void of any higher control, her figure was ultimately motionless, indifferent to the progressively worsening scene around her.

But the girl was not stagnating. Even though he had just received a life-changing revelation, her body was not stilled due to incomparable fear. Her glassy eyes rested upon a patch of grass stomped out during the tumult. Even gravely wounded, the greenery still clung unto dear life. It was quite evident that she too could just as easily fall into such a precarious state.

With the revelation (quite literally) left up in the air that all of Aether Online's playerbase would be trapped in the bindings of ones and zeroes indefinitely, Marionette, much like many others were doing at this very moment, began to way the pros and cons. Well, it's not like she had much of a life to return to. Gamers game to seek a world beyond the boundaries of their own, an alternate reality in which they can don an identity that starkly contrasts with their own. Minami had also followed this directive. To escape from the shackles of what lies within the [s](log)[/s] horizon and to cross over it. But all gamers unanimously were given the implicit privilege of being able to return to "real" life. Home is where the heart is, no matter how cold that heart may be. Because of this fact, Marionette could not simply discard Minami. That would the equivalent to leaving a book unfinished. Once started, she would do everything in her power to complete it. 

Marionette needed to survive to return to her original life. Granted, she already regarded the notion that a way out may not even exist and that everybody's been collectively jipped. But to find a tangible silver lining in this discord, she would need to rely on her own abilities, and dare she even say it... [i]others[/i]. Teamwork was something Marionette was not accustomed to despite the numerous titles she has plunged hours into. But with what lies beyond the respawn screen obscured, relying on others was now a means of survival.
