But I opened the door and went on in (I had already figured out that I was being controlled by an outside force, pretty smart for a computer piece huh?). Well I'm in this metal box and I was thinking hard.
Don't disturb these creatures if you value your life I told myself, hoping that whatever was controlling me would hear. And then I went up and stuck my little sword right into one of them; so much for messages to the unknown, I thought, just before it swiveled around and tried to bite me.
That was my first fight and, even though I've been in many others since then, they still horrify me (even though my clothes never seem to rip or get bloody, I can still get hurt. I've never been able to figure out how I can get injured through my clothes, but whatever.). Finally however, I made it to the end of the "tutorial," as all the "people" I met told me it was.
I appeared in a nice place, with fountains and green grass, and then I saw that the other people had yellow letters appearing above their heads. "Buying milk, flour and eggs!" was the most popular one, but there were many others, such as "can sombody take me to a bank?" and "free stuff please!" but I digress.
After the first shock of teleporting I began to pay attention to what the people said, and it was from that that I figured out that I was in a "computer game" and that the girl who controlled me lived in another "world" called "Earth" and that my world was but a copy of hers.
No fair! I thought, she gets the real one and I get the fake one? I'd trade her any day.
But another thing I saw about the people "playing" as they called making US do stuff, was that they didn't think that we were alive at all!
I hate living life by their schedule. And whenever they "log out" our bodies disappear and our minds all go to a "waiting place" until they "log in." I'm getting used to that now, but the very first time it happened I freaked out.
