"We've already shutdown"
To these words, the executives seated around the desk mumbled and sighed.
They had already known this was going to happen, but to hear those words from the Chief's own mouth meant a great loss to them all.

For years they had worked to perfect Kaoru, and for months it had blossomed more than anyone had expected.
They had created artificial intelligence capable of being called "human". Artifical intelligence that, if placed in a human body, would emulate it brilliantly, almost without flaw.
The company at first only had idea in plan for this intelligence, their upcoming game, Kaoru Online.
But they, and the media, as well as scientists and big names worldwide, realised that with further research this kind of artificial intelligence could change the world as they knew it.

And so Kaoru was going to be their guineapig.
Millions of players worldwide created their avatars and began play, their avatars taking on characterists and adopting habits of their player, almost becoming real in-game, interacting with the other almost-real avatars, and the almost-real NPCs that seemlessly populated the world.
But something happened...
Without explaination, what could only be describe as a deadly virus swept through the servers of Kaoru, and one day, within minutes, it was gone.
The servers stopped responding, the company distraught.

And so now, months later, they revealed their cancellation of the project.
The media snapped at this opportunity, and in the real world, it caused quite a commotion for a while.

But, imagine this...
What if those avatars were to continue living in their infected world?
What if, to them, life went on?

Strange occurences were becoming known in Ilea.
Around the world, people were disappearing and strange, dark fogs were looming over certain locations without explaination.
The higher-levels sought to investigate the matter, whilst the rest of Ilea's population grew increasingly more confused...
"Are you sure?"
The NPC sighed, leaning against the pole that held up the roof of his food stall, "I told ye, oi've nivvah seen anything loik it me loif."
The player groaned and turned to his party mates, "It can't be a quest, the NPCs know nothing..."
"Then what is it? There's no explaination for this..."
The mage shrugged, "Who cares? We can stay in the city and make some money anyway."
"Money? Got something valuable, whitey?"
She winked, "Nope, but I can dance!"
"Hey, who'd pay to see you dance?"
They party laughed and set off.

[Farrelei]

Blood stained the crystal-white snow of the mountain, and with a dramatic screech, the pig tumbled down the slope.
"Tedious..."
He still ached, his body hurt from the wounds he had faced in battle, even when cicatriced with mana.
The sky grew ever-darker, more rapidly than it should have. At first he thought it to be signalling rain.

"The monsters in the Mountain get vicious when it rains..."
The city was a long way away, and fog and darkness were hastening their growth in the area around him.
And it wasn't a regular fog, either; it was stained with a disgusting colour that was almost ashen.
If this was an Event, he hadn't listened out for it, and he didn't want to stick around if it were going to be dangerous.

[Silverlining]

((I assume we can post now ;D also, what level do we get mounts?))

Karinath pulled his swords out of the ogre, discharging dark energy in to the monster as he did so... He groaned, and just before the beast counter-attacked, unleashed and icy elemental blast, slowing the monster. He sheathed he swords and unslung his axe, delivering a killing blow.
"Ugh..."
He drank a healing potion, and continued towards the city, staying away from the mist...

[Biomanic]

Karrieth was on the outskirts of the city, as the clouds drew over.
"Wonderful" He thought, Perfect cover to enter a city, where he was not welcome.
Karrieth was given a quest by a local NPC, to eliminate another NPC named, "Barterex Aims", who worked as the blacksmith in the buisness district of the city.

[Farrelei]

((It's non-restrictable, so mounts can be acquired whenever))

As the fog grew thicker, it burnt as he waded through, so much that on several occasions his HP was almost completely depleted.
Only due to his class skills was he able to continue to struggle through, the fog choking him until all light became invisible, as if he were standing in complete, living darkness.
He felt it eating away at his mana, and in a desperate act of confusion, he used up the last of his power to shed some light around him, and for a moment he thought he could see it, but this light was, too, quickly devoured by the fog.
That's odd... That was a high-level... Spell...

Unable to continue on, he felt himself collapse, before realising that he was still on the mountain.
With his last ounce of strength, he pulled himself in the direction he thought he remembered as the edge, and pushed himself forward.
The polluted stench of the fog was immediately accompanied by the familiar one of the fresh mountain air as he fell down the side of the mountain.
Looking up, he could see the fog rapidly spreading, infecting everything it got to, before he fell with a crack onto the side of the mountain, losing consciousness as his body began to roll back down the mountainside.

[Silverlining]

((AWESOME =D and what characters can fly? You mentioned that earlier...))

Karinath looked over his shoulder, and realised that the fog was gaining on him.... He quickly summoned his Death Strider mount, jumped up, and rode towards the city as hard as he could... The fog arriving would cause confusion, and perfect opportunities for looking for rare artefacts... He could wait for months if he had to... He grinned...

[Biomanic]

Karrieth sat on the church steeple, looking over the city. All around him, the sky grew dark. A cool shiver ran down his spine, as he unsheathed his dagger, and raised his right hand to his heart. With a flick of his right wrist, and a blur of light, Karrieth was invisible and on the move. With great speed, that distorted the darkened light around him, he jumped from the roof of the church, to a balcony two stories above the busy district below. He placed one hand on the balcony fence and jumped to the corresponding balcony, one story below on the building opposite to the previous. He made his way to the ground and began to run as fast as he could towards the Blacksmiths. He could feel his Magica fading fast. With his right hand, he pulled a small potion from his small back pack. As he drank, his spead increased, as did his Magica.
"I hope this lasts." He though to himself, as he dodged passing predestrians.

In a matter of moments he was at the door to the Black Smith. He looked around him, It seemed like night had come early. He gave it not a second thought, as he entered the blacksmiths home.

[Silverlining]

Karinath passed under the gates of the city, and looked at an inn... Hmmm... I can rest later... I'll head back out soon...

[Shwoozar]
