THIS SHINDIG LOOKS LIKE THE BOMB DIGGITY.
It’s the year 2000 and no aspect of life has been left untouched by the rapid advancement of technology. Wherever you are on Earth, you’ve lived a life where connection through digital spaces is the optimal way to stay involved with friends and family all around the world. Terminally online? That’s you and everyone you know.
In a world dominated by virtual reality and cutting edge digital experiences, people are always on the lookout for new ways to push their real lives further and further out of mind. One such opportunity comes in the latest offering from the notorious CyberConnect Corporation: Fragment, an MMORPG that promises full one-to-one synchronization of one’s consciousness with a vibrant and expansive fantasy world.
The privilege of participating in the testing of such cutting edge technology is one only a select group of randomly selected people from across the world will get to experience. You’re one of those lucky few... but is lucky really the right word? For better or worse, the experience promises to change you forever, and if you’re particularly blessed, you may even survive it.
The World is a short-run, panfandom alternate universe game inspired by the .Hack series. With elements of horror and mystery, The World is a plot-centric game wherein characters will participate in the beta test of Fragment, a mysterious MMORPG that transfers their consciousness from an increasingly dull reality into a flourishing fantasy world where nothing is quite as innocent as it first seems. Player choices play a critical role in shaping the plot and determining the final outcome of the game.
Welcome to The World! This is a short-term game set to run for a period of four months from July 29th to December 2nd. Welcome! This is a private game open to those on milky's (shitpost), Amb's (stellazzio), and Lavender's (revelries) plurk lists and those directly invited by the rest of the mod team.
If you aren't a friend of either head mod but are interested in checking out the game, feel free to request an invitation via the mod contact page. Friends and +1s are given first priority when processing and accepting applications, but if the concept interests you, don't hesitate to let us know!

Invite: fawn's +1!!
Considerations: tighnari from genshin impact!!
AU planning: tighnari will be a botanist with a phd who works as a college professor while trying to move out of the city to get a job as a forest ranger. he'll have gotten an invite to play the mmo from his best friend cyno who is most likely a giant mmo nerd, but if anyone decides to app cyno i am happy to work with you!! he's also into archery and making his own skin and hair products from plant extracts. as far as the game goes, he'll likely be a steam gunner, but harvest cleric is also a possibility.
Questions: what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
Anything else?

I think Tighnari making skin + hair care products is cute and I loved their vibe in canon so maybe he and Dehya know each other and Dehya likes to buy his blends off of him.
