Summer had begun and it was a extremely hot day. A finger trails through the pages of what seems to be a yearbook. "Its already been one day and I'm already bored of summer and want to go back to school." A loud ring is heard echoing off the walls of the room to the ears of the young boy, he stands and walks to the kitchen reaching around the wall instantly grabbing the phone. He brings the phone to his ear and as soon as the cool plastic touches his ear a voice is instantly heard. "Marc you there? I heard you pick up the phone?! Right...?" Marc's eyes role to the side and breathes into the phone acknowledging he's there. "Yeah Shen, I'm here. What did you want? It's only been one day after school ended don't tell me you already miss hanging out with me?" A small chuckle is heard from Marc as he sighs and leans against the wall keeping the phone to his ear. Though he seemed not really interested in the call, in all honesty he was. It was just Marc's way of showing his personality. "Marc I know your probably bored cause I am and I know it's just the first day of summer but I have something that'll keep you busy all summer. And we can do it together. Just come over right now." Shrugs his shoulders and puts the phone back on the hook hanging up the phone knowing Shen would understand that he was coming over. "I bet it's some kind of two-player game he plans on us playing till the end of time...heh heh.." Marc grabs his bag and walks out the door heading down the stairs and walking down the street over to Shen's place. His eyes adjust slightly from the sun hitting his eyes, they wince at first and then he lowers his head eventually making it to Shen's. He bangs on the door loudly wanting to get away from the heat, wanting to get inside quickly. "Shen open the door...open the damned door it's so hot ouside I need air conditioning badly." The door opens and Marc literally rushes in shutting the door behind him panting heavily. He drops his bag down and takes of his shoes immediately walking to Shen's bedroom. "So Shen what kind of boring game did you want to show me today? And what makes this game any specialer then any other ones you showed me before? Shen walks into his room grabbing some weird glasses type things and hands one to Marc holding onto his as he swipes the mouse to kick the computer out of sleep mode. "This game is the latest in all technology, and I've played it once and I've been hooked since then." Marc looks at the computer screen as it illuminates, then watches Shen shut the blinds to make it darker in the room so it's not so hot and the screen shows more. Marc shakes his head and looks back at the screen adjusting reading the words that flash across it. "Altimit.....What is this?....WAIT!? I heard about this. It's all over the news as one of the hottest new games to hit the stores. Come on Shen you don't expect to play this game all summer, we'll play it and beat it and then we'll be bored again." Shen types some few things one the computer and then hits enter. Marc looks at the screen reading the words... "Registration..." Marc looks at Shen and shakes his head. "I didn't agree to playing this game with you. I don't want to right now. We'll just beat it later so we have all summer don't worry about it." Shen shakes his head and points to the screen. "Sign up now. Come on Marc. Here I'll make a deal. You play it with me now and when we beat it I won't bug you ever again about a game...ok?" Marc sighs and nods his head slowly. "Fine Shen, fine...what do I do." Shen points to the computer screen once more and then Marc sits down in the chair reading slowly. "Hmm...My name....Well that's easy." Marc types quickly, his name appears across the screen. "Marc...ok that's done, now a character name....hmm...what should I call myself?" Shen points to one of the old games he had played with Marc. "That's right....Tsurugi....The main character of that game. I'll use it for now seeing as I'll beat it in a couple of days." Marc begins to type again, the words Tsurugi appear across the screen beside the box for Character Name. "Class....What kind of class should I be...Twin Blade, Blade Master, Long Arm....Shen what is all this?" Shen leans over and blinks. "It's the type of weapon class your person is going to be. Twin blade uses two small blades. A Blade master is a sword person..long arm is a large bladed staff user. Like in a game, there's wizards and so on." Marc looks back and nods his head. "So people can't be everything to be cool, that's pretty cool. Well I'm sure everyone picks a sword because it's popular on cartoons these days. Lets go back to the good ol' days." Marc clicks on one of the the selections and hits enter the screen then goes to a body description page.

Clothing:White baggy pants that are cupped at the ankles with cuplings, a large red sash hangs down a long way from his back. A white shirt which tucks into his pants around the sash area. A large red jacket with black markings swirl around the sleeves and collar. The Jacket hangs over his shirt.

Marc turns and looks to Shen after his character was created. "Ok Shen your turn to make one... Shen points to the viser and puts it on motioning for Marc to do so. Marc puts on his slowly and kind of looks around aimlessly. "I guess you made a character...now what do we do....What's with the visers?" Shen presses the button and it takes them to another page with giant letters the read.. "The World" Shen presses the log in button and Marc jumps as the visor reacts and lights up almost blinding him from the light. Marc steps back some but Shen holds it foward so he doesn't trip. Shen standing still being used to this from an earlier round. Marc's lips curve into a smile as he begins the game. "Welcome to the world.... Shen says this as the game begins...
