[Edward is, on the first level, sitting on her bed in her room in Paternoster House on Noble Street, with her legs crossed. She looks like she's meditating.

On the second level, however, she's doing something entirely different. Over the past few weeks, as she's played around with the second level, Ed has begun to discover the nifty trick of controlling how immersed you are in the level. So she's practicing that right now. On the second level she can be seen sitting, and even though it might not be immediately recognizable, upon closer inspection it can be seen that she's getting more... solidified. More real on the second level. Like it's not a projection.

She's not all the way there, yet, but if you take a look at her body on the first level, you can see that she almost seems to be fading from one existence into another.

When Edward puts her mind to something, there is nothing that will stop her. And this is one of those cases. Approach, if you dare. She may or may not respond, she is so fully concentrating on her task.]

((OOC: Yes, this is Edward practicing full immersion into the second level. She hasn't gotten there yet, but, as I hope the above narration describes, she is awfully close. :3))

[She knoooows you're theeeeeere but she'll pretend she doesn't. 'Cause, you know. CONCENTRATION.]

[deviousintent.livejournal.com]

[Well this is exciting. :|]

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

[Isn't it? She's almost there, she knows it. Concentrating very very hard.]

[He is going to start amusing himself by making faces at the oblivious person now.]

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

[Doesn't really notice because she's SO CLOSE.]

[Which is swiftly getting boring, RESISTING THE URGE TO POKE.]

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

[There's an almost visible shift as suddenly SHE GETS IT. Her eyes snap open and she looks around ecstatically.]

I DID IT!

[gothicreverie.livejournal.com]

[Watching. With CURIOUSITY.]

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

[Twitch. Don't break concentration. She's so close she can taaaste it...]

[gothicreverie.livejournal.com]

You know, as no doubt fascinating as this is, what exactly are you doing?

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

[fjskdlf CRAP. She snaps up her head and gives a death glare. If looks could kill, he'd probably have spontaneously exploded.]

I almost had it!

[gothicreverie.livejournal.com]

[COWERS?]

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

[GROWLS and pulls her hair 'cause she doesn't want to take it out on him.]

I was soooo close!

[gothicreverie.livejournal.com]

[Moar cautiously.] Close to what, might I ask?

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

[RAWRGRAWRAAAARG]

BEING here. ALL THE WAY. In the second level without being on the first level! I was SOOO CLOSE.

[OOC: you know that the more you immerse yourself, the more you start getting sensory overload and whatnot, right? It's not a pleasant thing. Or did the mods say she wasn't affected?]

[Mostly just watching. He knows what she's trying to do and wants to see how she gets effected by it.]

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

((Yeah I know, I'm working on it. The way I worked it out with the mods is that she's not immune to the effects, she's just able to stand them for longer. But since it's her first time, it'll hit her pretty quickly. I'm just figuring out how to describe it, since it's my first time with this situation, too.))

[She doesn't move, except perhaps a slight twitch every now and then. She can't stay completely still, after all. But she doesn't notice her visitor.]

[surpraizepitaph.livejournal.com]

[Continues to observe. Data is data, after all.]

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

[HA GOT IT. Opens her eyes and HOLY CRAP.]

[surpraizepitaph.livejournal.com]

[Waiting...]

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

[HOLY CRAP.]

[surpraizepitaph.livejournal.com]

[FOR SCIENCE! GO ON BRAVE GUINEA PIG!]

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

[YEAH HEY THERE. DON'T YOU LOOK INSUBSTANTIAL.]

You look weird.
