I... think I understand? She's make-believe.

[The idea of an 'avatar' is a strange one, but she's doing her best to follow LLENN's words regardless.]

Roleplayer... it's like acting, isn't it? Playing the role of someone other than yourself?

[pinkdevilmunchkin]

Yup. It's like casual acting than anything professional. I get to be the role of a little kid! I didn't get to be like one much when I was at a young age, but now I get the chance to be a real kid again.

[It's hard not to feel ostracized being the only tall female in any age group.]

The kind of game LLENN's from was a ruthless, post-apocalyptic wasteland where monsters roam everywhere and everyone outside the hub world is out to get you. [Well, that was her perception at first because she was a player killer.] I came up with her personality and adjusted it accordingly to the environment and experience I had there.

[She's a smol polite murder machine.]

Getting to be a kid again...

[Terra can certainly understand the appeal. She never had a real childhood to speak of, herself. The world Karen speaks of makes something in her run cold; it sounds so much like the kind of world she expects to return to when she leaves this place, except in her case, it would be very, very real— not a simulation.]

So LLENN is a child, but one who has to fight to survive in the world she lives in. But... you can stop at any time, is that it?
