"What do you mean, you've never been in V.R before?" John demanded as he slid next to Xander at the lunch table. Xander chuckled lightly as he looked over at John, which required looking up a bit, since he was 6 ft 5" tall, as opposed to Xander's 5 ft 7". Brushing his dirty blonde hair behind his ear, Xander explained "My parents kept me out of V.R gaming since I was a kid, saying that they didn't want me getting so attached to it that I forgot the real world." Taking a swig of root beer, Xander almost choked on it from John's expression of utter confusion.
John's bewilderment was no surprise to Xander. Ever since a Russian scientist integrated the Nesla "coils" power source with video games, creating the first virtual reality (V.R) drive, the gaming community has dived into to V.R role-playing games, as the rest of the world has with V.R in general. Hence John's expression, since Xander was like any other teenager, with grey blue eyes, glasses & a small smile usually twitching his lips. Except that he had never been in a V.R dive before.
"Man!" John exclaimed, "That sucks big time for you. You totally need to try it, it's right up your alley, what, with your massive library," John continued, pointing at the pile of fantasy/fiction books next to Xander, "You'll absolutely dig this new game Genaco released Live No Evil." Xander grinned at his enthusiasm, "I've seen some of the ads for it, looks awesome. Problem is, I don't even have a drive, so I can't dive, let alone get into the servers."
John pondered it for a minute, stroking his chin that got him poked at by Xander whenever he got the chance. Before he could send out his standard wizard beard joke, John smacked his hand on the table in triumph. "I've got it!" he exclaimed "My cousin James is a big wig over at Genaco's Japan offices, let me shoot him a message, see if he can loan a hand somehow." Xander felt his smile grow to match John's, along with his excitement. "Bud, if he can, that will be absolutely EPIC!"
