Okay, here’s a little thing I came up with myself. It’s like, part one of a ? part series. If anyone wants it on their website, contact me and I will put the rest there. So, I hope you enjoy:
[Session One]
Please allow me to first introduce myself. My username is ichi. No capitals. I am a fairly powerful Wavemaster, along the lines of my friends’ opinions, at least. I have been playing The World for some time now, but there is an event that I will remember for as long as I play.
The virtual sun was brilliantly shining on a hot summer day. I was sitting on a bench, waiting for my friend Zesil, a powerful Heavy Blade despite her strange name. She was, once more, late. I wasn’t surprised, though. She usually got off work late, although she was still going to school with me. I yawned and stood up for a moment in real life, then mimicked my motions in the game.
“5:30… I guess she’s gonna keep me waiting again.” At that moment, another Wavemaster appeared at the nearby Chaos Gate. He looked rather odd, due to the eye patch he wore. The Wavemaster began walking towards me, sparking my curiosity as to why. He obviously attracted a lot of attention.
“Pardon me. Are you… ichi… by any chance? I mean, your PC name?”
“Yes,” I replied, sitting back down. “Why do you ask?”
“Great!” he answered. “We’re gonna have fun together once Zesil gets here! My name’s Phobos. You ready for a dungeon adventure?”
“You mean, you know Zesil?” I inquired, not thinking about the obvious facts. Zesil was only the most popular sophomore in the high school before school was let out for summer.
“Yeah, I am going to be a senior once the summer ends at her school,” He replied before adding a quick, “You go there too, right?”
“Well, yeah…” I began shuffling my feet against the ground. Did this mean Zesil had eyes for someone else? I thought she didn’t go for higher classmen.
“I think… Aren’t you that kid that broke his arm after slipping on a sandwich in the cafeteria once? Zesil said something like that.”
I blushed a deep red in real life. “Did she really tell you that?”
“Yeah, but she didn’t give me your name. She said she wanted me to find out myself if I wanted to know. Is it true?”
I stood up again. “Yeah, but that was in the eighth grade.”
He was quick with another question. “How long have you known each other?”
I obviously knew where the conversation was headed, so I stopped it there. “Isn’t that Zesil? Wait, my bad, it’s someone else.”
A Twin Blade walked up to us while I had my back turned. “She late again?”
I turned to see another good friend of mine, Elepen, a rising freshman at my school.
“Yup, she’s late.” I paused and turned around as Phobos began to start a conversation with Elepen.
Should I try contacting her? I thought.
“Could you try to get hold of Zesil, ichi?” Elepen asked, obviously far into a deep conversation about something else.
Question answered! I quickly tried contacting her. She replied, saying she had logged on a while earlier but had forgotten which field we were to meet in.
“Okay, so she forgot the field. She’ll be here in a second,” I explained. Zesil appeared at the Chaos Gate after a moment.
“Hey!” she yelled. “I was late again, sorry!”
“Let’s just get going,” Elepen replied. He hadn’t wanted to be in a party with Zesil in the first place.
“If you’re going to be sour about it,” I said, rolling my eyes, “Why don’t we just split up and go to different dungeons?”
Zesil, who hadn’t wanted to be anywhere near Elepen, agreed to my idea with some fervor. It was settled then. She and Phobos would go to one dungeon, and Elepen and I would go to another.
“Are you ready?” I asked Elepen as we reached the entrance to the dungeon we decided to go to.
“Yeah, I guess. Hey, what do you think about those rumors? You know, the ones about a Wavemaster who can’t log off?”
I smirked and replied, “Really, you want to know?” We entered the dungeon, him tripping over a staff someone had dropped.
“How’d that get there?” he asked as he began to get up. “Oh…”
A female Wavemaster lay on the ground near the door.
“Could you boys help me? Some Blademaster all but killed me and left me here a minute ago. So much for ‘loyal friend’.”
[End Session One]
Would you like me to continue this story? Otherwise, I’ll trash it.

He's... ALIVE?
... 
I'll do it... once school lets me go free to ravage the world again!... 
Never mind.
I think it's a good story so far! Let me give a little constructive critism though...
For one, I don't think the whole "Oh, hey! Lemme introduce myself thing" in the beginning is all that great. It probably would be better, say, adding in details that ichi is a Wavemaster in the story. Such as, mentioning something like, "I was sitting on the bench, holding/twirling/throwing it halfway accross the field my staff..." which would inform us that, yes, ichi's a Wavemaster. Also, for the name, it could be first mentioned whenever a friend calls you, like, "Oh, hey ichi!", which would tell us that the main character is ichi...
And yah... I dunno. ^_^;
