ok, not to sound like an idiot or anything but... i'm confused.
i know you're all gonna tell me to listen to the schnee girl but i already did!
i get this is a different place where wacky hijinks happen and blah blah blah.
but i have to ask so don't make fun of me if i'm way off.
is this a game?
i'm gonna be kinda annoyed either way but i sort of need to know if it is or not because of stuff i don't really wanna explain because it's SUPER complicated!
and because of all that stuff i don't wanna explain i kind of need to find my friends if they're here.
so if you've seen anyone named dave, rose or jade that would be really good!!!
or any of the trolls except the crazy ones!!!
unless none of them are here.
which would honestly really fucking blow. :(
uh... who's even reading this anyway?
are you guys really actual people or are you fake people?
can fake people even read?
oh man... i confused myself even more!!!!!!

I feel very real, if that's any consolation. Welcome to Genessia, whoever you are. We've many Dave's and one Rose, though those names are very common. We've had one Jade, no longer with us. I knew one troll by the name of Porrim Maryam.

As for your question, it depends on what you mean by "game". Literally or poetically? The latter is a very defensible view.

john honestly wtf man
you have some nerve
its the fucking 14th
youre breaking tradition now
what kind of asshole rebel are you trying to be right now bro
asking dumb fucking questions
is this a game
no man this is real fucking life
and you cant just ask people if theyre fake
jfc
what if they dont know theyre fake
and you went and broke their reality on them
going to set off a bunch of npc ais so they go all hal 9000 on us
thousands of robots set to kill
and none of them willing to negotiate with will smith
theyre not saying theyre not guilty
they meant to murder that innocent son of a bitch
no framing here
were going to have to deal with the robot uprising because of you
i hope youre happy

[Did someone order a crazy troll? No? Too bad.]

Well. I think I'm real. Is that an actual question or an excuse to make people let you grope them to find out?

It's not a ridiculous question. If this is a game no one has been able to tell, but that doesn't mean it isn't one.

But if it is, you may be able to tell who's real and who's fake. The pamphlets do say that only the people with these necklaces are "real people," after all.

A lot of people are probably reading this.

I'm also an actual person.

It's kind of rude to assume everyone isn't real. I'm Aira and I'm certainly a real person.

I'm Ted, at your service. Thank you for giving your own, even if, in my experience, both the real and unreal is named.

If it's the Dave I'm thinking of, with Strider for a surname, he would certainly say so. Blonde hair, similar diction, fond of red text?

Said Rose--surname Tyler--is very intelligent, but too sincere to use sarcasm much. Oh, don't worry about Jade. Leaving this world is like leaving a house: nothing morbid, just tragic. They may return again.

A pity you've no Porrim to know, she is very funny. With luck we may both have the pleasure.

That's certainly very strange. What constitutes a "real" game? A comparison might be made that'd enlighten.

[Ada has never used such a device before so the first text that comes is simply:]

Ignrn sornwnd but I hahwns sejen yoend fdienrm siend i arricnejd

[Translation: 'I'm sorry, but I haven't seen your friends since I arrived.' It might take her a moment to figure out how this works. But instead, she wonders if figuring out that later and instead switches to voice.]

Ah, sorry. I've never used such a device before, so I will be using voice, myself. But you can stick to text if you want. I just wanted to say I haven't seen your friends and that I'm sorry.

He's hale and whole, last I checked. His location remains mysterious, but I'm confident he'll answer your call in 24 hours. He's nothing if not timely.
You're welcome. Sometimes new arrivals of the same world come in rapid succession, so patience might avail.
That's certainly a possibility here; much like Weiss, this world has certain holographic qualities. The nearest I know of that in literature would be The Veldt, which ended very gruesomely. What's "fan fiction"?
Though it sounds like you have experience with such a phenomenon that's anything but fictitious.

Weeeeeeeeeell you say that. But! Maybe you're just freaking out so badly because you got caught. I mean it's possible, riiiiiiiiiiight?

No, I was trying to figure out how to text. But I could have been potentially doing a spell or something without meaning to.

Or contacting ghosts. [She knew that wasn't the case, but still.] But I wasn't. That wouldn't be a very good idea.

But I am glad that you have a friend here. As for my name. I'm Ada.
