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!

Contact:
Invite: I have milky amb and lav on plurk I think?
Considerations: definitely not Barry he just happened to be the account I was on
But if I decide to do smth I think I’ll go with either Saber (classic) from Fate/Stay Night, Shirou Emiya also from FSN, Constance von Nuvelle (less likely option for cap reasons) or Arataka Reigen of mp100 fame. If I get struck with inspiration maybe Pippin LOTR or my Higurashi girls Rika or Rena
AU planning:
Saber: A slightly stiff British prep school student (Insert Name Here) who’s going through it a bit with her family irl takes on the identity of Arturia Pendragon in an MMO bc she’s a massive mythology nerd.
Shirou: A reliable and heroism-obsessed young man accidentally ends up with a beta key and decides why not try this in his spare time. Sword Art Online with even more swords ensues?
Constance: A shut-in who lost her entire family is trying to rebuild what she once had through hard work and business classes, but having a rare condition that puts her through extreme depression in the presence of sunlight is making the networking aspect of rebuilding her family a bit difficult. However, the dawn of the worldwide web just might make her life easier!
Reigen: A down on his luck ex-salaryman and phony psychic got a bizarre amount of knowledge about MMOs after he claims to have been able to exorcize a ghost residing in one famous one decides that the money he can get from beta testing is worth taking some time out of his life.
Questions: I am very dumb and don’t fully understand mmos. I will probably have questions later
Anything else? hi have fun guys

Your encouragement is so sweet, Saber has been a character I've loved for a very long time and hope to do justice. At this point her and Reigen are top-runners for who I'd app so I'm in the puzzling things out mines
