First time playing an OC! ...orz

[pistolsakimbo]

W-wow... mundane, right? You're actually taking me outta VX, and putting me on that 'interweb' thing you always talk about?

...

THIS IS SO COOL!

Wow, wow, wow! I get to be in a game like all those other people you play?! For real?! A-and I'm going to a place that's from before the Great Collapse? With cars and buildings a-and... and...

...you are seriously the best person ever.

Aren't you easy to excite. [Kids--sometimes she'll never get them.]

[pistolsakimbo]

I can't help it! I've never seen a... a... w-what do they call it? Those buildings that scratch at the sky?

[risingshepard]

They call those skyscrapers.

[fratersacrificium]

I fail to see why this excites you so much.

[pistolsakimbo]

That's it!

[So much eeeeeeee!]

I finally get to see one! A real one, and not in a picture in a dusty old book! I bet I could touch the clouds on the top of those things.

[the_tv_is_a_lie]

It's not all fun and games, you know.

[pistolsakimbo]

Because, this is my first time ever off of an idea paper and into a real place!

...w-well, as real as places can get like this... y-you know what I mean.

[pistolsakimbo]

Hunh? It's not? Why's that?

[withthisherringseal]

[Unlike all the others, Minato is more perturbed by something else.] "VX"? What's that?

[pistolsakimbo]

Ah, it's a game making program. RPG Maker VX!

[And... she strikes the corniest pose ever. Seriously, it looks like something straight out of Sailor Moon.]

Someday, I won't just be an original character! I'll have my own canon, and other mundanes will want to apply for my friends!

[...setting her sights a little high, but okay.]

[withthisherringseal]

Ahh.

It sounds fun, having a mun that also made your canon. [Pokerfaced as ever, even as he says that.]

[the_tv_is_a_lie]

Your mun's going to put you through a lot of stressing situations.

I should know, mine's planning terrible things for me in 4 months.

[pistolsakimbo]

Mmhmm!

[...and suddenly, SERIOUS FACE.]

But she needs to get off her butt and work on it already! Those maps aren't going to tile themselves, you know.

[risingshepard]

They don't reach that far. We'd run out of air at the higher floors if they did.

[pistolsakimbo]

Really?

[She pauses, looking thoughtful, before...]

Well, bring it on! What's the point of living life if you don't have some challenge every now and then?

[pistolsakimbo]

Hunh? Really? How come?

[risingshepard]

See, the higher up you are, the harder it'll get to breathe. If you go too far out, you'll even get sucked into space.

Not that that's even possible on foot, but that's why we try to keep skyscrapers from growing too big. [That, and if something that big is ever built? Just imagine the collateral damage that'd be left behind if a storm hits...]

[starofchaos]

If only more people in the world were so easily fascinated. Surely even after the Collapse there must have been some semblance of lodging remaining?

[pistolsakimbo]

Oohhhh...

[...wait. Wait, wait, wait...]

...is it... possible to go to space?

[pistolsakimbo]

Well, yeah, the Domes... but it's boring there. Everyone's the same; it's so... fake.

[starofchaos]

[Hmhmhm...] Then, you will enjoy the variety of a natural world, where humans have flourished unhindered. Of that I am sure. Perhaps, unlike those who reside there unendingly, you will relish it far more knowing what it is to have lost it.

[pistolsakimbo]

I did get kicked out of the Domes... I got to see what the real world was like, but most everything was already dead. It will be great just to see grass growing like it's supposed to.

[starofchaos]

And so you shall! I do hope you enjoy it. The natural world is a beautiful thing and well deserves your admiration.

[pistolsakimbo]

Mmhmm! I will! I totally will!

[starofchaos]

That said... are you willing to risk everything for this chance?
