ELECTRICAL FUZZ!

I GOT 'EM. VISUAL ON 7 BRIER WEASELS.

WATCH YOUR THREE, SHIROE.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

GET SOME!

YEAH, THESE LITTLE NUT JOBS CAN HIT.

TIME TO CALL UP A SHIELD SMASH.

WHAT THE‐? THESE CONTROLS SUCK!

NAOTSUGU, TWO ON YOUR NINE!

DUDE, THESE THINGS STINK!

GET THE HELL OFF! UGH!

AH!

THIS'D BE EASIER AT MY DESK.

AKATSUKI!

NOT ANY EASIER HERE, MY LORD.

I'M BARELY HOLDING THEM OFF MYSELF.

NAOTSUGU, AKATSUKI, FALL BACK FOR NOW!

ROGER!

DUDE, THIS IS SO NOT LIKE THE GAME.

BECAUSE IT'S NOT.

THIS IS... OUR NEW REALITY.

YEAH, WELL, REALITY IS KIND OF SUCKY.

MY LORD! WAIT!

I'VE GOT A NIGHTMARE SPHERE ON THE WAY.

OHH!

THAT'S A TRIFFID! WHERE THE HELL DID THAT COME FROM?!

SHIROE! MY LORD!

UGH?

WHOA.

ALL OF A SUDDEN, THERE I WAS.

OHH.

WHERE AM I?

I CAN SMELL MOISTURE IN THE AIR AND SEE HOW BRIGHT THE SUNLIGHT IS.

AH.

OHH.

THE WHITE‐BEAM TREE.

IS THIS REALLY... AKIHABARA?

OH.

AH! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!

IS THIS AKIHABARA? THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING.

THIS ISN'T REAL.

I NEED YOU TO GET ME THE GM RIGHT NOW.

WHAT, ARE YOU DEAF? LET'S GO!

CALM DOWN, SON. I JUST SELL FOOD.

WHOA!

UGH!

HUH?

WHA‐? WAIT A MINUTE.

IS THIS... IS THIS THE MENU?

NO, IT'S THE STATUS SCREEN.

I WONDER, CAN I TAP IT, MAYBE?

YEAH, HA HA.

SHOW ME THE WAY OUT.

HM?

YOU'RE KIDDING. SERIOUSLY?

OH, WHAT'S THIS?

OH!

MY FRIEND LIST!

WHO'S PLAYING TODAY?

LIT UP MEANS THEY'RE HERE, RIGHT?

EVEN TOYA AND MINORI ARE HERE.

NAOTSUGU? VOICE CHAT.

LET'S SEE IF THE TELEPATHIC LINK IS UP.

SHIROE? DUDE, IS THAT YOU?!

NAOTSUGU!

HEY, SHIROE!

NAOTSUGU! HMM?

WHAT IS IT?

WELL, UH, I ACTUALLY EXPECTED YOU TO LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

WELL, YOU LOOK ABOUT RIGHT...

A SMARTY‐PANTS DORK WEARING GLASSES.

THEY'RE HIDING A PAIR OF CREEPY BEADY EYES.

MY CHARACTER IN THE GAME IS SUPPOSED TO BE A HALF‐ALV.

MAN, CHECK IT OUT.

THIS IS, LIKE, THE FIRST TIME I'VE LOGGED IN IN, LIKE, TWO YEARS.

I MEAN, THIS IS SERIOUSLY MESSED UP, SHIROE.

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.

HOWEVER, IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE INSIDE THE ELDER TALES WORLD.

DIDN'T THEY ADD THE NEW EXPANSION PACK TODAY?

YEAH, THE NOVASPHERE PIONEERS OR SOMETHING.

I CAN REMEMBER EVERYTHING UP UNTIL THE SECOND THEY EXECUTED THE UPDATE,

AND THEN THE NEXT THING I KNOW, I'M HERE.

ME, TOO.

IT'S DEFINITELY AKIHABARA.

I MEAN, LOOK AT IT.

I'VE SEEN IT TOO MANY TIMES TO MISTAKE IT.

YEAH, BUT...

SEE, THE SKY... WELL, IT'S IN THE SKY.

YEAH.

THESE AREN'T PIXELS.

I CAN REALLY FEEL IT.

YEAH...

WE DON'T SEEM TO BE DREAMING.

SO WE'RE STUCK IN OUR FAVORITE MMO?

WHAT A BUNCH OF FANTASY NOVEL CRAP.

OK, SO HOW DO WE FIND OUR WAY BACK HOME?

I HAVE NO IDEA.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW WE GOT HERE TO BEGIN WITH.

OK...

SO THERE'S NO WAY TO KNOW HOW TO GET BACK OUT,

AND THAT MEANS...

HMM?

WE SHOULD PROBABLY TREAT THIS LIKE IT'S HOME FOR A WHILE.

AND HOW DO WE DO THAT?

DON'T TREAT IT LIKE A GAME.

WE MAY KNOW HOW TO PLAY IN THIS WORLD,

BUT WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO LIVE IN IT.

SOUNDS GOOD.

GLAD YOU'RE KEEPING YOUR HEAD STRAIGHT IN ALL THIS...

BETTER THAN ME ANYWAY.

SO WHAT'S THE BIG PLAN?

I KNOW YOU'VE GOT ONE.

NAH, I WOULDN'T EXACTLY SAY I HAVE A PLAN YET.

I KNOW THIS ISN'T WHAT YOU EXPECTED,

BUT WELCOME BACK TO THE ELDER TALES, NAOTSUGU.

YEAH! GLAD TO BE HERE.

BUILDINGS AND ROADS LOOK THE SAME.

NOT A LOT OF SURPRISES THERE, I GUESS.

LOOKS LIKE I CAN USE MY ITEMS,

AND MY SKILLS AND MAGIC ARE USABLE.

SO HAVE YOU TRIED TO LOG OUT YET?

YEAH. DIDN'T WORK.

WANT TO SEE WHAT IT'S LIKE IN THE OUTSIDE ZONE?

NO.

LET'S HOLD OFF ON THAT FOR NOW.

HUH? OH.

IT'S GOT MONSTERS OUT THERE.

HMM?

GIVE ME A BREAK.

NO, SERIOUSLY, GO CHECK IT OUT.

YOUR FUNERAL, MAN. SHUT UP!

HELP ME! SOMEONE HELP ME!

SO YOU MADE IT BACK. I GUESS THINGS ARE BACK TO NORMAL AT WORK?

YEAH, BUT SADLY, THE BOSS DIDN'T GET ANY NEW

CUTE OFFICE HOTTIES FOR ME TO LOOK AT, THOUGH.

MAN, IS THAT EVEN A PROBLEM?

COME ON, DUDE!

I GOT TO HAVE SOMETHING TO DISTRACT ME FROM WORK.

IS THAT ALL YOU THINK ABOUT?

TWO TYPES OF MEN IN THIS WORLD, FOUR‐EYES!

REAL MEN WHO DIG ON THE LOVELY LADY FOLK,

AND GENTLEMEN, LIKE YOU, TOO SCARED TO ADMIT IT!

I LOVE THE LADIES, AND PANTIES ARE MY TREASURE!

YOU'RE THE SECOND KIND OF GUY.

THANKS FOR YOUR ANALYSIS.

WHATEVER, DUDE.

ADMITTING YOUR PROBLEM IS THE FIRST STEP‐

OH! WOAH! ARE YOU OK?

UH, YEP.

BUT I'VE BEEN WONDERING, NAOTSUGU, HOW TALL ARE YOU?

I USE THE SAME HEIGHT WHEN I ASSIGN FOR THE...

I JUST REMEMBER, I MADE MY CHARACTER TALLER THAN I REALLY AM.

I GUESS THAT'S WHY I'M FEELING A LITTLE BIT AWKWARD IN THIS BODY.

SHOULDN'T WANT MORE THAN YOU ALREADY HAVE.

THAT MIGHT BE TRUE, BUT THERE'S STILL A LOT OF OUR TRUE SELVES IN OUR AVATARS.

UH... WHOA!

UH, WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR DAMAGE, MAN?!

WHAT IF YOU HIT US?!

YOU WANT A PUNCH IN THE PETER?!

YOU'RE... AKATSUKI!

WHAT, YOU KNOW HIM?

WE'VE BEEN IN A COUPLE OF RAIDING PARTIES TOGETHER BEFORE.

I'VE NEVER HEARD HIM SAY A THING, BUT HE'S GREAT AT WHAT HE DOES.

TOP‐NOTCH ASSASSIN.

WELL, WELL. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT STUCK HERE WITH US, AKATSUKI.

I'M NAOTSUGU, A GUARDIAN.

I'VE GOT A THING FOR THE LADIES AND I'M NOT ASHAMED TO ADMIT IT.

ONE CHANCE TO MAKE A FIRST IMPRESSION...

HELL, YEAH.

SIR SHIROE, I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU.

HUH?

I NEED YOUR HELP.

I NEED SOMETHING TO FIX THIS BODY I'M IN.

SELL ME A POTION.

UH, YOU SOUND LIKE A...

WHOA. ALL THIS TIME...

YOU WEREN'T A DUDE?

GUESS THAT'S WHY YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN SO QUIET.

IT'S A REAL METAMORPHIC.

THOSE WERE ONLY AVAILABLE WHEN THE GAME FIRST STARTED.

I REMEMBERED SIR SHIROE GOT ONE.

HEY, LET GO OF ME!

I THOUGHT YOU DIDN'T USE THE VOICE CHAT TO FEEL MORE LIKE AN ACTUAL ASSASSIN.

UH, YOU DOING OK?

AAH!

OHH!

UHH...

MUCH BETTER, THANK YOU.

OH, YEAH!

'SUP, GIRL! BABE CITY, SERIOUSLY!
