First day of work for those who had applied and were accepted to the workforce of VeNM-KC, a five story building that sat within the downtown sector of Hyakuji. It was a modest sized building that connected to a two story building across the street using a skywalk, buying the property up in case in ever needs to build up. Being the size it was, it didn't compare to the other major tech companies that had formed within Hyakuji, although it did specialize in space efficiency.

Nonetheless, it was a little after four, generous time for those who might have extra curricular activities at the local high school. The testers had already been given an orientation as to where they will be located during the testing as well as how to get there once arrived. If not, they could seek help by asking one of the customer service representatives that walked around either building.

The testers would meet within the neighboring building across the street, Valentine already in the scheduled location and awaiting the testers. She sat in a large, white room with about four recliner-like seats, intended for the testers. The room would lightly echo with each noise that was made within the room, the floor was made of black tiled granite and it'd amplify any sort of footsteps if the proper footwear were worn.

Valentine herself was sitting behind some sort of computer system and desk, multiple monitors were stationed in mid-air using some sort technology. The technology would be the same kind that was used within the hover skates, another fine product of VeNM-KC. There was enough space between the monitors for her to see the entrance of the room as well as those who sat in the seats.

It was about after four when Kaito went to the building he was supposed to go to for his first job! He couldn't believe it! He actually go t a job! Finally he can get some money and afford some decent food! No more ramen cups for him every night!~

After a bit of walking and asking around since he had forgotten where the building was, he finally found the building! Walking in he noticed the room was pure white and large. It also had black tiled floors that looked like obsidian. He saw some seats as well as Valentine sitting behind her desk. He decided to just sit in a chair and wait.

"Er....This is the place where the testers meet right?...Or am I in a place i am not supposed to be in?...Cause thats happened before."

The pair that came in was really on bad terms. John and Kell walked in, glaring daggers at each other as they sat on the sofas. Cariot tried to soothe her friend's anger and to convince her to reconcile with the swordsman, but to no avail. They were close to coming to blows even in such a location.

After much cajoling, at least the blob managed to convince Kell to close her eyes and turn away, thus ending the stalemate. With one last frown, John looked over and addressed the woman who undoubtedly served as the brains of this operation.

"How do you do, Miss Valentine?" His voice was surprisingly calm for somebody who was sitting next to his mortal enemy. "I heard many good things about you from dear Kalvera, but I never had the pleasure of meeting you before."

He had to admit, she was rather attractive. Then again, she was also an incredibly old being who hailed from a place far beyond Earth. She would most likely not be interested in the things he thought about, unless she was fine with him being made of jelly.

Aaand the last arrival of the day would be none other than Seth himself, making his entrance into the room with the biggest yawn that he could muster it's hard not to think that he's doing it on purpose.

Which he probably is, just because it would hopefully irritate the owner of this establishment. "Oh dear god, this place looks so plain and boring I'm yawning," He added as he looked around the room, expecting to actually see some very lavish kind of decoration with mahogany table and leather chair with a chandelier that would usually be in a CEO office. His imagination may be a bit stereotypical of rich ones, but he's actually used to it only because he frequents a certain Frostfire's office so much.

But nope, it's all white and white and the only thing that's interesting are the four seats sitting in the middle of the room with three other people and Valentine herself at the other end of the room and doing some work on the several monitors hovering around her.

Seth Ryouga felt at odds with this very futuristic looking enclosed room. After spending so much time in his own dinky room AND a certain dinky detective office with a very old school noir style to it and actually having it grown on him... yeah, that's probably the reason why he's got so little nice things to say about this room.

...It's simplistic I guess, and simplicity is king...?

"This is the testing area for the testers. If you are a tester then you are in the correct location," Valentine informed him, looking at him through the gaps between the monitors. It didn't take long for the rest to join them, John and Kell entering and arguing about something that Valentine didn't care to hear about or watch unfold. John then asked Valentine how she was doing, looking to him and shaking her head. "You are not supposed to be here, John," Valentine informed him, "You are with the delivery team, not the testing team. Please leave immediately." Valentine watched him, waiting for him to leave before she continued on.

Last but not least, Seth made his way in yawning. He then began blaming his yawning on the style of the room, Valentine shooting him a glare. "The room is not meant to entertain you," Valentine informed him as she continued to glare, "Now have a seat so we may begin. Once you are all seated, I will have you place the devices onto your heads. After you have finished that, you will be immediately brought into the digital layer." For those who were looking for the devices, they'd appear next to them from a stand that rose up from the floor. "If you have any questions, ask them now or hold onto them until you enter the layer."

Once the group entered the digital layer, they'd find themselves sitting in the lobby of VeNM-KC's building. It almost seemed as if they had taken a nap and simply woken up in the lobby, their clothes even being the same as well. Valentine was no where in sight but at least there were people walking around. The lobby looked its usual active self with people looking over various devices and a couple asking the front desk for information. If one were to look outside, they'd see civilians walking around and doing their usual thing. "Oh good, you are all awake," the three would hear Valentine in their ear as if they had some sort of hearing device on, "As you can see everything looks and feels real but how close is it to reality? I will begin testing by introducing content; prepare yourselves."

An explosion was suddenly felt and heard, coming from some area within the downtown area. It wouldn't take long to find the source since everyone was running away from it.

As soon as he put on the device and entered the digital layer he woke up in the lobby. His first thought was that he probably passed out and it was a all a dream right now. Though he knew that wasnt the case though. He knew he had put on a weird thing on his head and then he ended up here. It must have been the layer Valentine was talking about.

"As you can see everything looks and feels real but how close is it to reality? I will begin testing by introducing content; prepare yourselves."

Soon he felt and heard an explosion and screams of terror could be heard.

"Wow. First day on the job and already there are explosions. Now...if this isnt reality that means we wont get hurt...right?" said Kaito kinda skeptical. He felt that explosion earlier so ....it may be that they can feel pain in this place. Regardless he didnt have time to be standing around asking questions. He immediately ran outside and towards the direction of the explosion.

"W- what?" John was flabbergasted for a moment, before Kell grinned at him and waved him off. His look of shock gave way to resignment as he nodded.

"Very well, then. Have a good night, Miss Valentine." He lowered his head in respect, then decided to leave before he caused more problems.

The luchadora laughed as she clapped. "Yeah, go back to your fucking hole. I win this round!" She even stood up from her seat and turned around, flipping him off with both hands as he left.

"Get some, Wellington! YEAH!" She crowed. Even Cariot wasn't pleased with her conduct, but Kell didn't care. Even if this virtual reality thing turned out bad, her night was practically guaranteed to be great. Returning to her seat, the luchadora slid the device onto her head with a grin.

"Huh. This is pretty neat." She immediately grew alert at the sound of the explosion, but went back to her more casual state afterwards. "Heh. Better be careful with that. Pain's probably still a thing in virtual land."

Oh, huh. So John's actually not a part of this, then what's the one extra chair actually for then?

Not that he's going to question it, the young man just gave a shrug as he stepped aside, letting the jelly man walk out of the room while being jeered at by Kell. Unfortunately for him Seth doesn't feel like taking anyone's side so, tough luck.

In any case, the young man was actually surprisingly obedient despite his earlier snark, taking the device as he took a seat on one of the empty chairs, flipping the device over in the air once before putting it on while making himself quite comfortable. Which is odd considering they're practically putting themselves in the hands of Vale of all people, so any sense of wariness should be warranted.

No actually, he doesn't think so. Not since that last time he had to deal with her last crazy world changing experiment. Or stopping her, rather. He's actually putting his trust on her now.



~Digital Layer~

"...Are you sure this thing is working?" The young man said skeptically, tapping his device-less head as he looked around... the same room as he had been in before he put on that thing. It was the same boring, white room, with the same four chairs and the same desk Vale had been sitting behind. The other two people, Kell and the guy he will never be able to remember his name was there too. Though Vale herself wasn't there, it's a bit too little of a difference to make him doubt that he had really went anywhere at all.

Supposedly this is... the 'digital' world...?

It... doesn't seem all that different to be honest. So much so he doubted they really were inside a computer. That is, until a voice inside his head made him jump in surprise. "W-what... Vale?" The young man questioned warily, glancing around in hopes he could find Vale hiding somewhere in the empty and boring white room speaking through a megaphone or something, to no avail, at the same time digging his ears to make sure there's no bug attached to him there. Or anywhere else really. "...Oh... ...huh, so we really are inside a computer...?" While probably not something to be disbelieving about considering the city itself, it still came as quite a surprise to him. ...Actually wait a minute, this isn't the first time he'd been inside a computer, isn't it...? It was some games too.

Though last time when he did he never realized he was in a computer. So technically this one counts as a first time...?

And then there's an explosion. Which startled him, then he moved to look out the window to the street down below, where everyone was running away from presumably the source of the explosion. Unlike the others though, he wasn't really in quite a rush, instead looking partly curious and interested, partly a bit at loss. "...Er. Vale, you sure you didn't do that on purpose...?"

I mean if she did then he doubted he would have anything to really worry about. After all, this is just a computer program.

Actually if she really did that on purpose then shouldn't that be more worrisome than if someone else was responsible for the currently ongoing chaos...?

Kaito would be confronted with a flood of people as they ran in the opposite direction, a rumbling could be heard as well after the main explosion. Approaching the the source, Kaito would find a large crater with some object inside. It was safe to say that whatever it was, it was the source of the explosion. It didn't seem like much of a threat, until a mechanical noise was heard from the large object. Clearly the object was powering up, lights on it turning on as the sound increased. Seconds later, it began raising up using legs the projected out of the side of it, easily towering over Kaito if he were nearby. It became apparent that this wouldn't end nicely, the metallic creature coming up about five stories high. The creature looked like some sort of spider, eight legs in total, much like a spider.

After a moment, Seth had asked if she had done that on purpose, a bit of silence for a couple seconds before she spoke. "...So what if I did? This is a test after all. I could make this harder by disabling your powers if you would like, there is always that option." Valentine said as another rumble was felt from the source of the original explosion. "I recommend helping out Kaito if I were you two."

"Huh....This is the danger?" said Kaito looking into the crater. "Doesnt look lik-"

Before he finished his sentence ii seemed to have been activating. Soon he was confronted with a giant 5 story tall metal spider!

"Aww come on! Your kidding me right?! Why did it have to be a giant metal spider!? Why cant it ever be an ice cream monster?!" said Kaito a little irritated at that fact it was a metal spider. His powers would really be that effective against it but he had to try and do some damage. He ran around the giant metal spider thing and tried to look for any weak spot he could exploit and try to bring this thing down.

"Fuck that, it's a giant spider! I can't wrestle a giant spider. El Santo could, bless his soul. But I ain't fit to lick his boots." Kell grumbled, kicking the virtual ground with a deep frown as she crossed her arms. "You go ahead first, Kaito. Give me an opening and maybe I'll start trying."

It was a giant mecha-spider. It had to have some really strong parts to not break under the sheer weight placed on the structure and the stress of moving around. She wasn't going to waste effort on an enemy that she couldn't even hurt.

She just shot a grumpy look at the aquamancer, not bothering to lift a finger to help him. Maybe it was because she knew that it wasn't an actual threat to civilians right now.

"...I am pretty sure threatening your workers is not what an employer should do..." The young man said warily, though he was clearly not actually worried about the so-called threat. For all he knew whatever dangers that could happen to them here is probably just Valentine exaggerating. This is just the digital world after all, what's so bad that could happen, really? "Alright alright, I'll go..."

And he lazily slouched out of the white room to join up with Kaito and Kell versus the giant robotic spider.

He needs motivation, that's what he needs.

The giant metal spider was fully activated, ready to cause a rampage. This was quite obvious once it began moving, one of its legs piercing a nearby car. Looking over the eight-legged behemoth, it would appear that its joints weren't smooth and with each movement, the joints would visibly bend. Where it's mouth was seemed to be some sort of barrel with a small flame in front of it, a bit of a dangerous sign if anyone ever saw one. Its eight mechanical eyes tracked separate movement, analyzing as seconds went on. Once it found its targets, it began moving more and towards the three testers. The emergency klaxon siren went off once it began moving, alerting anyone in the area to evacuate.

The giant spider began taking aim at the testers, specifically Kaito who seemed to be investigating it. The spider began backing up, turning as well to follow Kaito who had caught its attention. With each step a light rumble could be felt, destroying the road below and causing small craters to appear in its place.

(OOC: Giant like this but sorta looks like this)

"Wait, What?! Give you an opening?! Are you kidding me!? How am I supposed to give you an opening when this spider is the size of a building and made of metal! Thats like asking a chicken the secret of the universe!" said Kaito stopping to yell at Kell.

Unfortunately not long after he had stopped the giant spider moved and seemed to be targeting him....greeaaaat.

"Wait why is after me!?" said Kaito running away from the spider. Looking at the spider a bit more he noticed its eyes. They seemed to be a vulnerable spot. If he could shoot the eyes with a couple of ice spears at its eyes he could blind it. But then there was the chance of it going on a rampage from it going blind. Well...what did he have to lose?

"Alright! Here goes nothing!"

While running he got some water from his gourd and formed a spear in both hands. They werent perfect but the would work. He started freezing the two spears while running and when he got a good distance from the spider he stopped. As soon as he could see the eyes clearly he would launch the spears with a great force at the eyes, hoping that it would hit them.

"Kaito, either you do something or I'm leaving you to solo this damned spider." Kell growled. "Same goes for you, Ryoga. Big man on campus can't handle a giant robot?"

At least they had options beyond 'touch the giant metal spider'. Shit, she was going to get flattened at this rate, and she had no clue if things would go wrong and lead to her get pasted for real. VR tech was very dodgy, especially stuff as advanced as this. Wait, had she already thought that? Well, screw it. It was still a valid concern.

As the aquamancer moved to blind the metal spider, Kell began running towards the robot's side. It was probably going to open up with that flamethrower, or whatever that fire was. And when it did, she didn't want to get caught by it.
