Log In

Everyone remain calm...

The voice was that of a woman and all around them.

This is an emergency restart of The Game following a massive system crash...you will be logged out and unable to log back in until repairs to the system are made...

Ukeru relaxed a little. "Good, he's using a system log out to force them to go, not just disconnecting them..."

"What does disconnecting do?" Arashi continued to ask.

"They added a fail safe some time ago when logging players out and when their games crash or internet goes out," Ukeru explained. "Because sudden crashing can cause brain damage."

Suddenly Arashi flickered and he felt a tug before he rolled off his bed in his own dorm room.

"Wyatt-?" He gasped, scrambling on the floor before he sat up, the entire world feeling numb and dark. "Oh gosh, oh gosh!"

The boy grabbed his TGS and attempted to log back in. "Please let me in, please! I need to help Wyatt!"

We are experiencing technical difficulties...please try again later...

The text flashed in front of him like an impenetrable barrier.

"Gosh darn it!" Haru groaned. "Please- I'm Wyatt's friend-! And I'm begging a gosh darn system message..."

He groaned and flopped onto the floor, burring his face into his arms.

Suddenly, he felt his pocket start to vibrate.

Jumping in surprise, he reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone.

There was a text there, but the words took a moment to sink in.

It's Chris

Nervously, Haru dialed the number and put the phone against his ear.

There was one ring...the a second...just as the third was sounding, someone picked up.

"Arashi?" Came a calm voice on the other side.

"Voss?" Haru asked - although with his heavy accent, it sounded more like 'Boss'.

The Game had a translating system that filtered out his accent, making it sound as if he spoke perfect English. But outside of it, his English wasn't too great.

There was a laughed.

"Yes, it's 'Voss'." The other person replied. "Are you okay?"

"I was logged out," Haru explained, frowning as he got up and took a seat in front of his laptop. "And this is no time to make fun of my accent. I am worried about Saipuress [He means Cy xD]! Something happened between he and Pin and then systems went down!"

"I know you are and that's why I'm calling you." Chris said. "Okay, I'm going to tell you something I shouldn't know, but do. You need to find Cy, his real name is Ben and he's on your campus."

"Benshamin Kurisuti?" Haru asked.

There was a pause before he heard Kris snort.

"Yes dear, Benjamin Kristy," She informed. "That is what he said. Forgive him, Haru. His ability to comprehend accents is very poor."

"Daijoubu," ["Its alright"] Haru assured. "Is okay. I understand. I know Benshamin. He is in my classes... you are telling me that this is Cy?"

"Tall, dark, handsome, and cold?" Kris inquired.

Haru's cheeks turned a little pink. "I would say so... yes..."

"That's him," Kris snorted.
