SETTING TWO: THE LOG HORIZON UNIVERSE, SOMEWHERE NORTH ("HOKKAIDO")
(situation: stuck in a generic fantasy mmo.)
(prose or brackets)

Two things are on her mind as she noiselessly strides between shallow pools in a cave system. Firstly, the white blazer she has on makes quite the statement but it's no lab coat. Last but not least, here somewhere are robots fighting giants and she isn't resting until she finds one.

It isn't quite pitch dark.

Preoccupied, Nakamura edges her way forward against the cave wall, which is rough and pitted with ice. She stops when she almost walks into something. Ice protrudes from the wall like icicles jammed in with force, and she can see the "icicles" spiral up into the darkness, wrapped around a column? She lightly grabs one, and it's ice, but ice encasing iron.

Is she looking at a way up? Did she stumble on an abandoned watch post? She pauses breathlessly, on the verge of springing ... somewhere.

Alright, she'll go. Maybe there's something.


SETTING ONE: AN OVERGROWN FIELD NEAR AN ABANDONED BASEBALL PITCH, TOKISADAME(?), JAPAN
(situation: closer to canon.)
(prose or brackets)

She's running.

Maybe in circles -- it isn't like she has satellite imagery to look at! She can't confirm her position. She isn't one of those giant mechs in Aldnoah Zero, she's a science teacher running as fast as she can -- on foot! Away from an unidentified flying object of her own creation. The remote of which is in her hands, quite useless.

She fights the tall grass, which parts with such ease for her pursuer. To think that a homing device, designed to return the craft to its controller, would be so effective!

[[Minor spoilers all the way from Ch2/S2/Vol2 and is set sometime after the anime's finale.]]

Setting: A forest in between towns, in the middle of the night


Alba awakens to the memory of Ross' (... or should it be Creasion's?) disappearance.
 
It was all crisp and clear to him still; the way the sun beat down on them, the way the wind picked up bits of sand and got it into his mouth whenever he so much as opened it, and that smile... oh god, that smile. It was the first time Alba's ever seen the soldier give him something so pure and genuine, and whenever his mind returned to it, Alba's chest began to ache.
 
He rubbed his tired eyes; it's still a long ways away until sunrise, the fire he had set up continuing to dance brilliantly in front of him. This was becoming a problem, these nightmares that plagued him. Granted, they weren't anything serious, but if he continued to have sleepless nights like this, he was gonna end up being monster fodder.
 
"If I could, just one more time..." He murmured, staring into the flames for a moment before pulling his blanket closer; closing his eyes as the night's bitter chill nipped at his nose. He needed to sleep if he wanted to make it to the city by nightfall the next day, but with his head bustling about like this there was no way he was going to fall asleep anytime soon.
 
Suddenly, he heard a rustling in the distance. Huh. The fire should be keeping the monsters and animals away. Could it be one of the twelve demons? He swallowed, shoving his blanket to the side as he quietly picked his sword up.
 
"... H... Hello?" He spoke into the darkness, knees trembling.

[Game Start!]

[You know how it goes. Everyone wakes up to find themselves trapped in some new location, with only vague details of the hows and whys. After a day or two the initial shock wears off, but few have really gotten their feet under them as of yet. Apparently there are strange events that may happen from time to time, but so far no one's been witness to any - an air of uncertainty clouds the newcomers.

Not that you'd be able to tell by this kid's wide grin.
]

Hey, hey! Yes, you there! Wait up!

[He's waving happily as he jogs to catch up. Have you even seen this guy before...?]

[Friendship]

[Whether you like it or not, Asuma seems to have decided that you are now his friend. Which means that every time he sees you, without fail, you will be greeted with a cheerful:]

Heeeeeeey! Over here! Hi!

[...Right before he dashes up to your side like an overeager puppy. Still, he's a nice kid, even if he's silly at times. Hopefully he doesn't annoy you too much.]

[Event]

[One of those wacky jamjar events has come into play. The effects? Are totally up to you! Body swaps, compulsive honesty, cupcakes that make you behave erratically - anything PG is fair game. Although if you want to bump it to PG-13 at the highest, that's fine too. Just let me know first!

Either way, Asuma doesn't seem to be all that concerned for now at least. Does this kid
ever worry about anything?]

[You can't quite place it, but there's something slightly intimidating about the giant, secluded, Mary Shelly-esque manor. Maybe it's just something about the light. Either way, it's the only shelter for miles, and you're not going to let any sort of pop-cultural preconceptions keep you out here in the storm.

After a few solid seconds of knocking, the doors creak open to reveal a girl, probably no older than her late teens, covered in a network of stitches and surgical scars and flanked by a pair of monstrous manservants. Literally monstrous. One of them has a dog's head, for Christ's sake.

Maybe you should've just kept walking.

Ah, hello! Can I help you?
