WHO: Renju, Toru, and Keiichi
WHAT: Teaching Renju how to play Matsuri Online
WHERE: THE INTERNETZ
WHEN: Post-Obon
WHY: Because Renju's a n00blet.

Sitting in his room, Keiichi found himself logging into Matsuri Online. He had sent Renju an email with the basics of character creation, so ideally, he'd be able to find her in game. Checking his character list, he found one of his level one Templars who hadn't been leveled (or had much done beyond creating) yet. "Why not this one," he mused, double-clicking the character.

Now, to see if either Renju or Toru were about.

On the other side of the internet, Toru smiled almost condescendingly. He couldn't be cruel to a newbie. Perhaps someday she'd be as good as he was. They all deserved a fair chance.

[Kurama Tengu: He means attracting the attacks of monsters. Depending on your level and where you are, monsters will behave differently. Some will go ahead and attack you without provocation, some will only fight if you attack first, and some will even run from you if you're powerful enough. If you're in a group like this, the goal is to keep it attacking the toughest one around. Y'know, the "tank." We'll be careful so you don't get mauled or anything.]

Taking the lead, he began to walk out towards the first field area in the game.

[Kurama Tengu: I'll start us up a team to all be in. Please accept the invitation!]

Keiichi clicked on the "join" button, and Toru's avatar appeared on the top of the screen, in a head portrait.

[Chairman Gaga: Sonozaki-san, I'll stay back and heal you in case the creatures come after you. I'm in heavy armor, so I can take damage better than you. Try to kill the stray ones if you can, if I die I've got to go run back, and it'll probably mean you're dead too.]

Talking about death in videogames took on a whole new meaning now that they were living through Paradise.

[Hasudama Akane: Understood.]

It seemed that Renju was quite possibly less talkative here than in real life--quite a feat, really. She looked at her inventory screen, looked at her shortcut bar, looked at her inventory screen, swapped a few things around more or less arbitrarily, remembered that she actually had to do something to join a party, accepted the invitation, and started reading over her command list again. There was so much to try and remember in such a short period of time...
