[Looking a bit groggy still and trying to get some of her larger Pokemon to quit loving on her, Jane greets the feed with a little half wave, forcing a smile on her face. Her outfit looks a bit grayer than when she first went to sleep, but from how Jane is holding the camera, it's impossible to see much more than her shoulders.]
Good morning, or evening, or whatever time it is; I haven't even looked at a clock and my sense of time is all messed up anyway, but I just wanted to say that I am awake, and I hope no one was trying to contact me. Uh, can anyone catch me up to speed on things I may have missed while being.. asleep, I guess is what it was? Pretty lousy sleep if you ask me.
[Rubbing her face and sitting back a bit from the gear, Jane ends up leaning to let Ricky and Cid climb into her lap, both Vaporeon and Charmander trying to snuggle all up at the same time. Giving a weak smile, she gives the screen another little wave as she turns off the feed, then sends out a quick couple of texts.]
Jake, Dirk
We need to talk.
Immediately.
Please message me when you see this.
We've been in the game for four months.
[Putting that last sentence in should hurry them along, hopefully thinking it's less about.. well, the awkward orange and green elephant in all of their conversations lately, and more about what is going on in their session. Rubbing her face and flopping back, Jane huffs out a sigh and stares down past her Pokemon at her god tier clothing. How did she even wake up with all this on? Weirdo clothing fairy decided to let her have this nonsense, ughhh.]

In my world, my friends and I started playing a game.
We all thought we would get to meet people,
I meeting my Poppop,
Roxy meeting her mother,
Dirk meeting his brother,
and Jake meeting his grandmother.
The game is called Sburb,
and it sucks the players in and gives them classes and aspects.
Mine happens to be a Maid of Life.
Anyway, going "god tier" means to die on your quest bed.
We somehow all wound up on our quest beds and died at the same time.
Being god tier means we are under a ruling of only dying from a just or heroic death.
[TEXT]
Death wasn't necessarily permanent to begin with, then.
What do classes and aspects have to do with anything?
I'm getting the idea this really is one of those things best talked about in person.
[TEXT]
You get a second life in Sburb in that there is you,
and then there is your dream self
who resides on either Derse or Prospit.
For our session, Jake and myself were on Prospit,
while Dirk and Roxy were on Derse.
If you die, one of the other players is to kiss you,
and you revive as your dream self.
Jake is the only one who did not have a dream self to start with.
I woke up on Prospit once and came across the Prospitians having a funeral for him.
Classes and aspects are somewhat necessary to the game,
as facets to beat and create the new universe.
I don't know all the mechanics so well though.
Roxy and Dirk both understood it better than Jake or I.
