She blinked at the mention of Virtual Reality. Was it too existential a concept? Or was it because VR wasn't, strictly speaking, a place? The twisted metal cried out. Something else did, too...

[Ryan Naismith]

He blinked, looking to the girl "what...what was that? What the hell was that!?"

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

"Do not be alarmed. Please tell me where you would like to go ne - ." an impossibly fast and ragged black shape leapt and dodged around the debris flying straight for the girl. It reached out with an impossibly long black claw and -- !

[Ryan Naismith]

"Can we-" the thing, and he barely registered it was there, sped across his field of view. His hand unconsciously drawn to his hip, as if he had something there. But he was only grasping at empty air. He had a brief flash of himself holding a black, squarish object glock 41. .45 ACP 13 round magazine How did he... He had to kill that thing. He lunged forward, snarling, with fangs bared

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

She drew her right arm up and waved in a grand gesture, backhanding the thing. It vanished in a puff of black smoke as an insane amount of wind and pressure followed the blow. The colour, like confetti in a leafblower, of that reality blew away, leaving the two once more in the white room. Then, several yards away from Barrett, the girl collapsed.

[Ryan Naismith]

Barrett quickly rushed to the girl's side, kneeling by her and uttering various assurances."you're gonna be okay" being the chief among them though in truth, he had no real idea what just happened, though he would make sure not to mention VR anymore. computers either, just in case.

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

"I know that," she said faintly, rolling over to watch Barrett with a faint smile on her face. "Thank you, Barrett."
After a while she sat up and blinked.
"What would you like to do now?"

[Ryan Naismith]

He sighed, giving her hand a soft squeeze, returning her smile "Well first... I wanna know what that was." For a brief moment, he wondered if she would actually answer him at all.

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

"That was...a testament to solitude. In other words...it can be referred to as shame." She stood up and moved to the centre of the plain white area, sitting on the rectangular pedestal that sat there.

[Ryan Naismith]

"shame?" he asked, confused "well... Could I get a gun? I think I used to carry one a lot... and I want one. a... uh... glock 41 I think."

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

"You need to figure out your own way of making things. I upload them into reality via computers. There is a toshiva in the school reality I quite enjoy using." She said blankly. "It has Tetris."

[Ryan Naismith]

"mm." he nodded "well... could you teach me? that would be great."
He chuckled lightly as she mentioned tetris, it was a personal favorite of his.

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

"Alright." Reality bled into a school computer room. They computers were all grand except for the beat up laptop on the teacher's desk.

[Ryan Naismith]

barrett was immediately attracted to the beat up computer. It wasn't for it being notable, more for it being different.

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

She noticed his attraction and watched him gravitate towards the computer. She looked over all the other ones and sat at one by the window, logging on and occasionally glancing out at the trees below. They were in a third floor at least.
