[ Nothing says good morning like your hairdryer exploding while you're using it! The tips of her hair have been burnt, and that's just a sign of what's to come.

Athena can be found angrily making breakfast (she's gotten slightly better at cooking!), her hair still down and very frizzy. It's not her fault she can't dry her hair and tie it up! It doesn't seem like she's going to be able to cool her head off while cooking, though. When she puts the pan on the stove, the metal starts to melt and all she's left with is the handle.

That's… definitely not right. ]

Si- Simon! The thing! [ Athena, use your words??? ] The stove's broken! [ And she didn't even bother to turn it off. ]

Hurry up and fix it, slowpoke!

[ That was a pretty rude interjection by Widget, and Athena immediately shushes him. Wow??? She didn't even think that.

It looks like technology isn't on Athena's side today.]

[ After the surprise upload into ViViD, Athena's clothes change into something like this! And it seems that she's been uploaded to a different game she's used to, too. The ground's filled with squares. What's up with that? The only good thing (so far) about what's happening is that the monsters are squares away from her. ]

What happened to my gauntlets?! Inventory, inventory— [ She goes through her items, and most of her rare ones have disappeared, too. The only items she has in her inventory are a couple of potions, a low-level staff, and a stepladder??? ] They're not here!

[ She can complain all she likes, but it looks like she's been reclassed as a white mage. At least it looks like she can cast healing magic, and she isn't alone. After all, it seems that she can't exactly make a move until the first player (that's you) does.

A tactical turn-based fight, anyone? ]

[ The blackout is scary enough as it is, but when you suddenly feel like you're being watched and followed, things just take a turn for the worst. You might be walking down the residential district, trying to talk yourself out of being scared. Ghosts aren't real. They're just made of code, just like you.

You hear footsteps, though… you start walking briskly to get to the train station, or to your apartment. (Of course, where else would you go?) But the footsteps get louder as you move faster. It's driving you crazy, and you can't take it anymore. Hoping to lose whoever (or whatever) is chasing you, you open one of the nearby doors and hide behind it. You're indoors now, so you should be safe, right?

Whack!

You either fall to the floor, grab the arm of your assailant, or (insert your action of choice here). Either way, it's just Athena, holding a broom, ready to strike. And at least her necklace is lit up that there's a source of light. It's creepy, though. ]
