You can't feel your body?

Have you tried gripping onto something on your desk? Counting down slowly from ten?

I can't even feel myself laying on my bed.

I'll try to force you to log out on my end.

[ Give him a minute or two...

When nothing changes on Shoka's end, she can probably predict the next message from Zelkova: ]

I can't get the system to cooperate with me. Just hang tight while I work on figuring this out.

[Cool cool cool cool cool cool]

Thx

[This is the most cordial she can get about this right now.]

You will be okay.

Let's keep emailing while we wait.

[ But if she leaves him on read, he'll understand. ]

Someone offered to PK me and see if that resets anything.

I don't know if that will reset anything, but it might be worth trying.

Let me know how it goes.

[TIME TO MAKE BAD LIFE CHOICES.]

[ GO SHOKA GO

Zelkova will be waiting patiently for an update. ]

[Like an hour and a half later:]

PKing is a bad idea.

You'll have to ask the head admin if you want to know any of the details, though.

Hien? I'll ask him, then.

[ about ten seconds later: ]

How are you feeling?

Oh, you know.

Just stuck in a game without any way of logging out or moving my real life body.

So, just peachy.

You still can't log out...?

I'm limited in what I can do for you, but if you want somewhere safe to stay and wait this out, come to my @ home.

Thanks, but someone beat you to the punch. I'm going to hang out in a different @ home and keep trying the log out button in case it magically starts working sometime.

Let me know when you can finally log out.

Take care.

[And then about half an hour after that:]

I was able to log out.

That's a relief.

[ He sends her a friend request. ]

If anything like that happens again, invite me to your party so you won't be alone.

[It takes a bit because she does actually pause to think it over before finally accepting.]

Is that all you can do when things go wrong? Keep me company?

It is.

[ He said as much on the forum, so: ]

I can't contact anyone outside of this game unless they are a current player. I wouldn't be able to call 911 for you. But what I can do is keep you safe.

Can it really be considered safe if someone gets stuck in here?

Not that your head admin seems to care about it.

[ She brings up a good point, one that Zelkova has to think about. ]

No, I guess it really wouldn't be safe. You'd only be as safe as you can be in that situation.

[ As for the head admin—well, Zelkova isn't sure what to think about all of that. ]

Especially since you guys can't do anything about my physical body's safety, apparently.

I can't.

I do think the company could, but I'm restricted in what I can do.

[ But hm. Maybe he should look into what else he can do, the things he can bypass. ]

Yeeeeah, might be a good idea to have SOME kind of contingency plan for it next time.

[She's just assuming there will be a next time.]

I'll work on one. Promise.
