The Simulation [Inactive]

Atlas nodded sighing,


"Alright, What time do you believe it is in the real world?" He knew that his father had a surgery to attend that night but would be home around 11 that night and if Atlas wasn't asleep or working when he came back...Atlas lifted a hand to his mask which hid his old and new scars absently lost in his thoughts.
 
"I dunno," said Archer, shrugging, "Maybe 7 or 8?"


He watched Fluffy try to climb up Rakia's lap.

Rakia watched and played with it. She frowned. "I need to sign out then.. Im supposed to have taken my meds at like.. 6. And already be in bed." She said unhappily. "Or I can pretend otherwise and Continue on an Adventure!"
 
Atlas stared at the boy,


"What's your time zone?" He could easily live on the other end of the world from Atlas.
 
"Dunno about the GMT and stuff but I live in the Philippines." said Archer.


The hologram appeared on top of Fluffy's head again except with Rakia's name added.

Rakia blushed. "...cat.. our fluffy." She said, adoring it and playing with its paws happily. "Same.. US. Whats the time..?"
 
A flying clock appeared out of nowhere.


"What on Earth..." muttered Archer.

Atlas' eyes widened,


"I must sign off, how do I log out. Rakia you know what you're doing...can you show me?" He lived pretty far from these people now didnt he.
 
Rakia yawned and announced "player managment."


As soon as she did, a set of blue type floated before her as though on a screen. In the corner said log out but as she went to press it, the type turned grey, then black. The entire virtual world shook and pixels disapeared and reappeared. "Type... log out." She said cautiously, but as soon as her body turned to blue pixels, as it looks before your body disapears, it looked like electricity was emmitted and she droppedto the ground, normal again.
 
Atlas was following her instructions but halted and ran to her side when he heard her thump onto the ground. He grabbed her shoulder and shook it lightly,


"Rakia, you okay..."
 
Archer was instantly on Rakia's side for some reason. Probably his speed.


Fluffy pawed Rakia's arm.


"What happened?" he asked.

She sat up and stared at her hand. "..it.. didit glitch..?" She was moments away from freaking out. What if she got stuck.. Died without her goodbyes in here? She nodded, frantic. "Type log off!" Same result,, frying her again. She bit her lip. She wanted to be a hero somewhere before her end. but she didnt want to leave her family. Calm down.. you wont have to, she told herself. "Its not working for me.."
 
Atlas muttered,


"Player management..." the same screen appeared and he spoke once more, "Type Log out." He was suddenly shocked but didn't fall instead shut his eyes a moment his teeth clenched as the pain subsided.


"Type Log out." He spoke again, double checking like Rakia had. And had the same result, he cursed under his breath staring at the ground his bangs hiding his face.


"not working..."
 
"I don't wanna try to get shocked. I already get hit by the iPad because of my brother. And books. He throws books at me too." said Archer.


He held his hand out for Rakia to take and let Fluffy climb up his boot.
 
Rakia shakily held out a hand but then retracted and curled into herself, sniffling and trying to keep calm. She knew what could happen without her meds. How vital every minute was, even if she didnt always pay attention. "It... its just temporary.. right?"
 
Atlas scooted closer to Rakia,


"it has to be temporary, others have tried to leave I'm sure. The developers and technicians are most likely trying to fix the problem now." He stated setting a gentle hand on her shoulder, you couldn't see it but he was happy. Truly glad to perhaps be out of that hell hole which was his home.
 
Rakia looked up, attempting an extra shaky but appreciative smile to Atlas. He was very comforting, despite his closed up-ness. He had a cool and gentle manner. "Th..thanks.. i really hope it wont be long though.. it really cant."
 
Atlas quickly stopped Archon,


"Don't, if there's a glitch with logging out other mechanisms may go hay wire like the whole map. And you shouldn't be running around alone when that happens.." He spoke, hoping he'd see him as the voice of reason.
 
Atlas turned to Rakia,


"But..." He stopped himself, "Let me correct myself, of course let's do that." He remembered the angry Rakia from before and preferred it if she would be on his side.
