Chapter 2: The Hub

"This is a place where Prototypers, people who have obtained the prototype of a Robot Master, are summoned to in their dreams." the girl continued.  Curtis wondered out loud, "What is this Prototype stuff? Robot Master? THIS IS CONFUSING!".  "You ever play MMRPG?" "Isn't that game supposed to be in development?" "Yes, but now it's bleeding into our world." Curtis wondered what this "bleeding" stuff was about.

"You happen to possess the Tengu Prototype.  A tengu is like a japaneese goblin.  My name's Irine, the holder of the Bright Prototype. When you wake up, you'll be back in the real world."

When Curtis woke up, he was in the real world.  He decided to don different clothes, deactivated his prototype for now, and headed to his school.  In 6th Hour, Math, he got to sit RIGHT next to Irene in class.  In real life, Irene had gorgeous, long red hair going straight.  She was wearing a black dress at the time.  After school, they would walk eith each other on their way out.  One day after the first school day, a mysterious voice popped into Curtis' head: "A̡ ̧̢̕͘B̨̛Ų̕͜G̶͡ ҉̷̧͏Ą̨͝͡P͞͏̀͜P̸͏̴R̶̨O̕͠͏Á̴̧͠C̶̴H́E͏̕͞Ś̡̕͡,̨͡͏ ̷̢͝C̸̡A͏̢̛͝U̧̢͜͞S̢̕͞͞I̷̸̧҉N͏̀̕Ǵ̢ ̷̶͜͝͡R̨̢͘͢Ę̴̢̀A̢͟͟͡Ĺ̸̀͜͡I̕҉͞T̶̶̨͜Ý̶̨͜ ̴́́T̵́̕Ǫ̵͟ ҉͏G҉̢̛L̸̢̡͜͠I̵̡̛̛T̡̕͢͞C͏H̷̡̨́͞ ̸U̸̡̢̨͜P̴̧.̸̸̢̢͞ ͠͞ ͏̵͟͠Ǫ̷̧͞Ŕ̶͝͞ ̛͝S̵̵̢̡̀O҉̢M̴͡͝E̸̕͞͏Ţ̴͘͘҉H̵̀͘̕I̷̧͞͝͠N̨͡͠͝Ǵ̸̡ ̷̢L̸̵̢̧͟I͘͟͡͏͢K̢̛͟͢E͠͠ ̸͘͘͝T̴̢͢͟H̸͞A̛T̸̵͟͝.̛͘҉͡  "Curtis couldn't understand it because of all the static in his head when the voice was heard.  Whatever this was, it would be revealed later.  Freaking plot devices.
