Greetings, travelers. This is Nutkins the squirrel-vagabond. Please standby, story will be updated shortly. Lots of thanks to anyone who actually reads this! Okay, here we go.... Nubuhiro_Watsukio (or Wat, for short, lol) was sweating bullets, if game characters can do that. A member for a year now, and his mining was still just a mere 1. Not even Level 2, a small, itsy-bitsy 1. his friends always got a good laugh outta asking him about it on mining trips. Well, no longer! He was going to go straight to the Dwarfen Mines and lvl-up like nobody's business! ...Now where were they again? He was sure they were somewhere around here. He stood next to the Ice Mountain Oracle and ""ed. He'd looked all over rs, but no luck. And when he asked Player Characters, they called him a n00b and left. He moved south aways, only to find another Player. The strange thing was, when Wat moved the mouse over him, his name wasn't reveiled. All it said was "Captive" in yellow lettering, and then "Lvl 101" next to it, as if he were an NPC. But the dot on Wat's map was white, like a PC. "Holy cow!" thought Wat's Real-Life player. Wat was only lvl 50, so he was just thankful this wasn't the wild (where ever that was, lol). He decided to ask "Captive" where the mines were. "Hello there! U wouldnt happen to no were the drawf mines r?" The player said nothing. "Hey! R u even at ur comp?!" Suddenly, the player moved in a way Wat had never seen. He grabbed his head and fell to his knees, and the sound of crying poured from the speakers on Wat's terminal (computer). Wat figured this was just a new emote animation, so he clicked "Dance," and began the silly motion. For some reason, the weeping sound only increased. Then, a strange BGM (background music) started playing. It was very, very much unlike the normal RuneScape music. It was random, unconnected, repeating. And just hearing it sent a chill running down Wat's virtual spine. Why was he getting this worked up about a game? Maybe it was just that he hadn't had any dinner yet...yeah, that was it. "Well, if ur not gonna tell me, i'm leaving." Wat clicked on his map to move down to that small area down there, near the NPCs. ...What? Why wasn't he moving?! He clicked rapidly, despite his state of inaction. The Player picked herself up. Wait a minute..."her"?! She was a guy a minute ago! What was going on?! Slowly, she started walking over to Wat, and that's when he noticed something. On her left side, a Dragon Longsword lay sheathed. On the right, a Dragon Battle Axe. Her body was decorated in Samurai's armor, and instead of a cape, white, feathery wings appeared to be growing from her back. If this was a Player, she or he was a major hacker! These were all ideas that numorous players had suggested. Wat was really getting worried now. A major hacker like that was nothing to laugh about, and if this was an NPC, he lacked the courage to face it. Then and idea hit him like a brick. Courage! What if this was some sort of new quest? That made him feel a little better. But only a LITTLE. "Captive" moved closer, still moving veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery slowly... On second thought, Wat began to feel very worried. Why make such a high lvl monster for a quest attack him? He hadn't even started it yet! The meet face to face. Captive had reached him. Yet, it didn't strike. But then, both captive and Wat were covered by a strange, black, pixelated glow. it completely covered them, and soon, the entire screen was black. A tiny message appeared: "Loading...Prepare to be Deleted..."
