"My avatar doesn't look anything like me," Ganesh warned JT as he held the holoband in his finger. "So don't be surprised when you jack in, if you see someone who's a lot... taller."

He'd modeled himself off what he'd thought Americans would find attractive. Tall, blond hair, blue eyes, pale skin... and absolutely nothing like himself. He frowned as he thought about that. It still didn't quite work, even with all the hours of practice he'd put in since he'd gone in with Matt.

With his comment, "See you in a minute," he slipped the band over his eyes, white light flooding towards him suddenly until he reached the end of the tunnel and found himself in the small, dark room in which he'd last jacked in. As he waited, he practiced his walk, stepping casually back and forth, barely keeping from tripping over his own muscles.

	"Do they do this a lot?" Ganesh ventured. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The man rolled his eyes, "Nightly, it seems. I don't think I know you. I'm Turk." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Turk," Ganesh repeated. Bloody hell, what was he going by? "I'm Carter, this is-" He paused. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Gray," JT added, smiling. "Nice to meet you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You too." Turk hooked a thumb at the arguing pair. "You two jokers then? Nice avatars." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	JT nodded noncommitedly, "Thanks, you too." He had noted the whipping tail poking out from under Turk's trench coat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"No one here keeps their joker," Turk growled. "And we all sit around bitching about how we can't get any respect in the real world." His head whipped around to Ganesh. "What's your joker, Carter?"

"I was born with a detachable penis." Ganesh answered with a completely straight face.

"Hell, boy, that's an ace."

"Not when you've no bloody control over it." He barely managed to look uncomfortable. He had known a joker like that once. "So what is it you people do here?"

"Complain, sometimes plot," Turk replied, shrugging. " There are more active groups out there, ones that accomplishore things but teqire invites. But we aren't completely usesless. What about you Gray?"

JT jerks his head at Genesh, "Boyfrind." At Turks glance at Genesh's croach JT defends himself with "When he's at work I still have something to keep me company."

	"What-" Ganesh opened his mouth, then closed it. He hadn't realized that avatars could blush. "You weren't supposed to say that. Honey." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	JT smirked and patted Genesh's butt, "Sorry babe, but honesty is the best policy when we are trying to make new friends, right?" He smiled at Turk in indication. Turk chuckled quietly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ganesh shrugged. Might as well enjoy it. "So, is this a regular meeting?" He gave JT's arm a friendly squeeze in return. "Or just one of those places people wander into? That blo- man over there sounds as if he's got an agenda." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sparkleboi 2010-07-06 05:19 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, he's a loud one," Turk commented, "but I guess we all have an agenda. The hard part is getting everyone to agree on what to do. You guys just stumble in, or someone send you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	itsticking 2010-07-06 06:19 pm UTC (link)
	"We just stumbled in," Ganesh said quietly. "It's- all the stuff about wild cards lately. We don't want to just stand by." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The arguing had continued through their conversation, but now seemed to be breaking up. Turk nodded after the girl that had been doing the yelling, "Come on, I'll introduce you around a bit." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"We'd like that," Ganesh answered, grabbing JT's hand so that they didn't separate. It was odd, he thought, how warm his fingers were in the virtual world- Ganesh was so used to anything associated with computers being cold. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sparkleboi 2010-07-06 06:57 pm UTC (link)
	"I don't know what you were worried about," JT whispered, hanging back a step or two while Turk greeted his friends, "They seem fine." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"They're not the ones Matt and I met," Ganesh whispered. "That was- some different part of the internet entirely. These are jokers." He said that as if jokers represented security which, to him, they did. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sparkleboi 2010-07-06 09:16 pm UTC (link)
	"And the ones with Matt were..?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	itsticking 2010-07-06 09:19 pm UTC (link)
	"Not anything. Jaded. They came here to kill, to do everything you can't in a real universe." Ganesh looked ill. "Sacrifice. Murder. I.. It wasn't like this." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sparkleboi 2010-07-06 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	"Ah, no wonder you were cautious. I'm not in to that, is Matt?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	itsticking 2010-07-06 09:46 pm UTC (link)
	"I don't think so," Ganesh said quietly. "Wrong place, wrong time. Or perhaps the right place. It doesn't seem so farfetched that they might take that kind of behavior into the real world. It still doesn't make the idea of going back in any easier." His eyes followed Turk, wondering if there was more possibility in what they were doing here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Turk waved them over and introduced JT and Genesh to two other people, Belladona and Thyme, both sporting their own joker avatar mods. JT shurgged at Genesh and said, "Time to network, I guess." (Reply to this) (Parent)
