     Surrounded by a bright white and blue lights, Jack feels as though he's falling at a thousand miles per hour with no end in sight. Not really sure what's going on suddenly hitting the ground though as if he was already standing there. As the light faded he begins to see grass and dirt under his feet. The light now completely gone he looks up to see the vast land of  the Falcorth Plains. The most beautiful sight he's ever seen, even when he just played the game at home on his computer the world never looked this bright.

      After taking it all in for a moment, he couldn't believe he was in his favorite MMO! Jack coming back to himself, looks around him. Seeing all the other player people with their avatars. 

     "Wonder if they're all computer programmed or really here with me" Jack mumbled to himself as he walked threw the village.

       Jack also noticed all the humans had a firran, the cat/human spices of Falcorth, by their side. Jack wondered if they were just friends, but also wondered how this certain situation works. See in any other game you choose your race, face, and make your entire character. He was a little disappointing that he was stuck with his ugly face. well, he thought he was ugly. 

     Jack wandered down the dirt path observing all the people who seemed to be starting their journey. He soon came ac across a man with the name of Kangarr. A average looking firran wearing basic cloth clothing and a fur hat. Jack then noticed him in his Johnny Cash t-shirt and blue jeans didn't really fit in.

     "Hello stranger!" exclaimed Kangarr, "my name is Kangarr, and I'm here to help you get your avatar!", He said with the biggest smile.

     "alright", Jack said with a smile, "where do we start?",he asked.

     "hahaha" Kangarr chuckled, "eager to get your journey started! I see a fire in your eyes, I like you already"! Kangarr said with a smile while waving Jack to follow.

     Jack followed Kangarr wondering if he ever stopped smiling. They walked into a tent that had several different types of kittens inside. Jack looked slightly confused while Kangarr stood to the right wall of the tent with a look of anticipation.

     "well?", Kangarr asked, "pick one out!" he said with a smile.

     Jack slowly walk over to the bed of kittens sitting on the edge of the bed while three kittens immediately jumped on his lap purring and meowing at him. Jack often thought he was a though guy but the sight of a kitten always made him melt. 

     With a big grin on his face he play with the three kittens. One on its back laying in his lap batting at his hand as he tried to pet him. One trying to get her way up to his shoulders with her sharp claws. Jack couldn't help but jump a little each time the kittens claws dug into his back and arm. And the third kitten lay to his left along his leg, just sitting purring every time he'd pet her.

     He was having a hard time deciding which kitten to choose as his soon to be avatar. As Kangarr explained to Jack that once he picks one they'll go into the field and raise it to adult hood. Kinda like a mount one would get in the original game. And how you battle them kinda like Pokemon.  When all of a sudden Jack noticed a fourth kitten, curled up in a far corner, almost under a small red through pillow. 

     Jack carefully removed the other three cats that were swarming him that then continued to play with each other once he stood up.  He then slowly sat next to the shy kitten with her head buried in the crevasse of two pillows. He put out one hand and started to pet her back. When he first touched her she flinched popping her head out of the pillows. Jack got to see her face with her fur sticking out of every direction from being matted from the pillow.
