Worm Art Online Week 1, Day 0 (Merry Christmas)
You woke up, and looked around your room, today should be a day of cheer and joy, but even with things going better in school you can't help but worry that the other shoe is waiting to drop. But you try to push down the unpleasant thoughts, and get changed hoping that maybe they did give up that finally the bulling has ended. Pulling on your clothes and a forced smile you wander down stairs to meet with your dad. When you get there you see several boxes under the old plastic tree. You remember going out with your mom to get that tree, she wanted to get another one, but you kept pulling her over to this one. You some how got her to give in through sheer stubbornness.
Your dad, patting you on the back saying marry Christmas breaks you out of you memories. and you both dig into some flapjacks. After breakfast you sit around the tree opening up presents, little things, that didn't cost to much. You got him a new tie, and he got you a new case for your glasses, those kinds of things. It was lunch time when you were done, and your dad's good mood fixed you morning melancholy. After lunch you helped dad base the ham, and get it ready to cook. "Taylor?" You look up from the pineapple you were cutting. "I know that something has been troubling you in school." And like a switch you good mood vanished. "I'm not going to push the issue, but I noticed you don't have as many friends a you use to." As many, you think face souring as you bitterly think about your almost non-existent social life. "And Gary at work was telling me about this think-tech game, some sort of online thing. And I thought that you could play some of it, make some friends." You look at him.
"Dad, how much did this cost?" He slams his fist into the table.
"Taylor, Taylor that doesn't matter, no cost is too high for you happiness Taylor." Except the fact that you are poor, and can barely afford the cost of living you might have found this heart warming. "I know you don't normally do things like this but Taylor please. I can't stand to see you wilt like you are."
Dinner prep is a lot more tense after that, and even by the time you're eating you still are tense. After dinner and desert you fallow you dad into the basement were a computer is set up, with a bed, and advanced looking helmet next to it. "This is it, something called nerve gear. The game is all ready to play, it goes live at midnight so please Taylor, at least try to have some fun, make some friends."
You dad leaves after that and you decide to...
[]Humor you dad and try the game.
[]Play the game you dad went through all the trouble to get it.
[]Dad has some points, play the game try to meet new people.
With that in mind you sit down and read the manual, fallowing the instructions to calibrate the helmet, and sit down at about five till midnight. At midnight on the dot you see a flash of light and are brought up to a character creation screen. You...
[]Make your avatar exactly like you, no point in hiding who you are even over the internet.
[]Make the avatar kind of like you expect more ideal.
[]Make the avatar an perfected image of yourself.
[Title is terrible, if anyone can come up with a better one please help me. At the end of each in story week will be an interlude during the week a pool will be up for which interlude will be written.]

There will be Worm characters, there will be SAO characters, and there will be some OC's I will try my best to mix the two words reasonably, but there will be changes from Cannon, SAO more then Worm, but changes in both.

Considering that we won't be able to escape SAO the only change to canon Worm that will matter is if he destroys Earth Bet except for the servers.

Not sure what exactly the choices will affect, so I'll try vote for how I assume Taylor will think.
Humor dad seems too harsh on Danny and while make new friends sounds like it should make it more likely for her to try team play/guilds, it feels OOC for her to actively want to make friends from the start.

Same look feels stupid and I'm not sure Taylor even has a perfect image of herself so it must be,

Well, this is an interesting concept. I don't know much about SAO beyond it's general concept, but considering how someone would trigger in response to that...well, that presents some interesting questions. Immediate physical danger is the sort of thing that typically prompts Brute triggers, and while they're unlikely to transfer over to the game, being able to survive whatever mechanism the game uses to "punish" dying could have some interesting affects. Though I'm not sure she'd be able to jack back in if that were to happen.
Of course, a more mental trigger from the general stress is also quite possible, in which case we might see some sort of thinker or tinker power. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see.
As for the choices, might as well get Taylor in the mood to make friends as she's going to need them. As for the Avatar, I support taking the most divergent one on the theory that it might make her slightly less recognizable if Emma/Sophia/Madison/Greg are present.
