Karlos Fanfic, originally appearing on IRC
On a fine july morning a young man named Karlos woke up feeling that something was missing from his life. Karlos looked around his apartment. Nothing was gone. Instead Karlos got the feeling that something that wasn't there, should be there. Karlos pondered over this strange feeling over a breakfast of grapefruit and strangely colored peaches. It was Saturday. Usually Karlos would go out with his friends on Saturday, but all his friends were out of town. Karlos meandered restlessly around his apartment. The object that he needed was so familiar to him, but he couldn't think of what it was. Karlos decided to take a walk, perhaps fresh air would clear his head, or help him remember. Karlos left his apartment, and stopped. He usually turned right here, and went to the park. It was such a fine day, he could have some pick up Frisbee games, or maybe meet a new friend. But, today Karlos went left. He wasn't sure why, but it felt right somehow. Karlos was in deep thought as to what he might be missing when he bumped into a person walking the other way. "Excuse me." Said the stranger, and quickly disapperd into the crowd. Karlos looked down, the stranger had dropped a bag, it was from the local game store. Karlos waded through the swath of people, searching for the stranger. Karlos couldn't find him. 'What an odd day so far,' thought Karlos to himself, he began walking again, not paying attention to where he was going. Karlos heard a sound like wind chimes, and looked up, he was back at his apartment building, the sun looked odd. arlos checked his watch. It was already 13:00! Karlos reentered his apartment, it was lunch time, and he wouldn't find the stranger anyway. Karlos dropped the bag on the table, he didn't feel hungry at all. In fact, Karlos didn't feel good at all, he felt very bad. Karlos remember the peaches he had eaten before. Karlos found the peaches, he remember them being a funny color, but they where covered in mold! "Oh, dear." Said Karlos. He staggered into his room, and slumped on his bed. His computer was on. Karlos couldn't remember turning it on, but Karlos couldn't remember turning it off either. Karlos got up to turn it off, it was just eating power. The bag on the table from the local game store caught his eye. Karlos picked it up, and looked inside. There was a Guild Wars: Prophecies box, unopened. Karlos opened it. He liked the pretty pictures. He had played games before, but nothing like this. Karlos decided to try it anyway. Karlos woke up. Karlos sat up from his bed. Karlos looked around. 'Was that a dream?' thought Karlos. He looked at his computer, it was running Guild Wars, he remembered now. He had been playing it for the last 3 days straight. He hadn't even gone out of the apartment to get food, and had eaten the rest of his moldy peaches out of necessity. 'That probably explains the hallucinations,' thought Karlos. Karlos logged into Guild Wars. But he was at a lose. He couldn't think of what to do next. He was stuck. Where does he go from here? "Maybe the internet will know." murmured Karlos, this was his solution to many of life's problems. Karlos opened google, and typed in Guild Wars help He scrolled down a little, and saw a sight that caught his eye. Guildwiki. 'What an odd name.' thought Karlos. Karlos clicked on the link, found the search box, typed in his quest. And was home. Afterword: /Epilogue GuildWiki was growing. Everyone could feel that. Ever since Skuld, and Karlos had joined, the wiki was getting steadily larger, and had attracted more and more people. One of these was a college girl named Entropy. But that is a story for another day.
