.:Welcome to the World:.

Tally Youngblood freed the world of its bubbleheadedness,
and Aya Fuse continued giving the world it’s freedom by becoming one of the
most famous kickers of all times; kicking about the new way of living in orbit
of the earth.


Times of the bubbleheads are over.

You have millions of choices.

Which one do you choose?


.:What if I haven’t read the series?:.

If you haven’t read the series, Uglies, by Scott Westerfield, you still can join. If you don’t want to read the books but need a reference point, you could get the book Bogus to Bubbly, which is written by him. If you don’t want it, I’ll give you a quick run-though.

Surge – This is short for surgery. The surgery is done in a surge tank, which has nanos in it. These help the body stay safe. Surges can be all different things; they can enable you to always tell the truth or to respect authorities, they can let you communicate with a skintennas or allow you to have a screen (eyescreen) in your eye.

Nanos – These are teeny tiny particles which can basically hold anything. They are put in surge tanks as they help the body in it repair quickly. They were also used for the cure, which turned bubbleheads into thinking people.

Eyescreen – This is a small screen which allows you to see pings, the city interface, or feeds. It also allows you to kick. It displays your face rank, too.

Skintenna – A skintenna is a device (which is part of the person) which allows you to hear/speak to the people around you.

Pings – Pings are small alerts from other people, they have messages in them. They show up on your eyescreen.

Feeds – Feeds are where people kick their stories to. They show a mixture of photos, videos, sound, and, of course, text. They are used to entertain people yet also to convey stories and messages.

Kicking – Kicking is when you convey messages on the network so everyone can see. These can boost your face rank. Also see: Feeds.

Face Rank – The face rank is how “popular” you are. Out of 1 million people in a city, everyone is given a number from 1 to 1 million. These are constantly changing, as your face rank increases with every mention of your name, use of your design, or interest in your feed.

Hoverboards – Are flying boards which float above the ground, and they are controlled by crash bracelets, which allow you to steer. They need metal under them to fly, which is why most of them only work well in the city.

Hovercams – These are cameras which fly above the ground. Like Hoverboards, they require metal. Their footage can be used on your feed.

((Thanks for joining! Wanna RP?))

((Sure! Who starts?))

((I will ))
Flare walked out of her dorm, her purple eyes glistening as she checked her eyescreen. 292,432. She sighed. Why does my face rank have to be so low? Tama's face rank is 6 times as low as mine and she's hardly done anything! Another day in her life. Another day to watch her face rank as it hovered just over 293,000, begging that it would rise; even if it was only ever so slightly.
Who knows? She thought. I'm twelve now. That means I can finally kick about better things than my new merits!

As Flare walked into the garden of her dorm, she noticed a brunette standing there. Curious, she walked up to her. "Hello" she said, politely "I'm Flare." Her green eyes must have been surges, and she smiled. "Are your eyes surges too? They look really awesome!" she said. Hopefully she hadn't said anything wrong.

((Sorry for taking so long to respond, I'm working on a story ))

((I'm so sorry Shadow, I have to go. Can we continue this later?))

((That's fine - or we could just do an on-and-off? Well, either way I'll reply, and you can do whatever when you're back.))

Kallie looked up at girl, and met her eyes which were - surprisingly - purple. Her own green ones widened a bit, but she smiled. "Um, hi. I'm Kallie. Yeah, they are; thanks! Yours are surges too, right?" She took in the rest of the girl quickly; average-looking, and not gorgeous, but kinda pretty all the same. Using her eyescreen, she checked the girl's rank. Flare Daring, facerank of - whoa. 293,262.

((Hope you don't mind the random numbers in there? XD))

((Okay, sorry about the on-and-off-ness about this. I'm just a friend's house right now, so I'll reply quickly))

"Yep, they're surges too" Flare said "Your eyes are cool. My favorite color's purple. I'm assuming your favorite color is green?" she asked. She wondered about Kallie's face rank. After 2 seconds on her eyescreen, she gasped. Whoa. Her face rank is really low. She's in the top 10th percent!

((That's fine! I don't mind on-and-off RPs.))

"Thanks," she said smiling. "Yeah, it is. And I just hate the 'normal' color of green eyes, so this is one of the few surges my parents actually let me get." Kallie laughed. "It was a birthday present." As she went on, she was oblivious to the fact that Flare had just checked her face rank.

((Okay, that's good. My time zone is not so good for not on-and-off RPs ))
"Wow, lucky you!" Flare exclaimed "I had to buy these with my own merits" she sighed "I wish that my parents wouldn't always be experimenting with new kinds of food, it gets so annoying sometimes" she rolled her eyes "At least when I'm here in the dorms they're not always telling me to eat my pasta flavored ice cream." She shuddered "And I can tell you; it's not good."

((Lol, and I get on too early. XD))

"Eww," she said, wrinkling her nose. "It doesn't sound good." Pasta-flavored ice cream sounded like some gunky, bland bowl of cold stuff. It didn't even seem like ice cream in her head.

((Nah, you're on at pretty good times, actually. Only problem is I'm usually at the computer...doing something else xP))
"It sure isn't," Flare rolled her eyes "But they thought that I'd eat healthy stuffif they infused it into ice cream." She shook her head. "The food here isn't that good either, though. Is it usual for the hole in the wall to only give you ultra-nutritious and disgusting stuff?" She shuddered, remembering the tasteless gunk she'd had the night before.

((Really? XD Lol, well, same here. Like I'm usually on WI.))
"Disgusting." Kallie shuddered at the thought of eating it. "But I have no clue. I just got here, so . . . So far, it's been disgusting, though." She laughed.

((Yeah, I'm usually either on WI or trying to sort out kinks (or extra super gigantic problems) on my work-in-progress website ))
((I'm stumped. Is there some kind of plot line needed here? Because otherwise we'll just end up talking about pasta ice cream until the end of time ))
"Yep" said Flare. Her purple eyes were wary. "I get so bored here, though." She shook her head "Haven't even been here two days, and I'm already bored out of my mind."

((Hmm . . . that's a good question. xD Maybe we should come up with a plot.))

She smiled apologetically. "That stinks. It can be boring; I don't know how long I've been here, but I never do a lot. And already I'm forgetting what it was like before . . ."

((Okay.. Um. So, should I have sirens go off? The building around them start burning? Have them get a ping from some random stalker? xD))

((How about all three? The random stalker sends them the ping, and when they totally blow him off, the sirens go off, and building starts burning.))

((Awesome! I'll keep going, then!))
"Oh, I'm sorry," Flare said, meaning it honestly. Suddenly, her eyescreen flashed. New ping! Her eyes stared at it. Who could it be? As she opened it, she gasped. Oh no. She'd gotten a ping. From someone she didn't know. Who wanted to kill her.

((Wait - does Kallie get the same ping? XD))

((Yep, let's have them both get it ))

((Thanks, Shadow ))
"Yep?" Flare said. Her voice was far away,thinking about her ping. "What is it Kallie?" she said, but she couldn't hear her own voice. Just the sound of her heart beating in her ears and the slow-motion like way everything was moving could get to her brain. Everything else was lost as she stared at the ping.
Suddenly, a loud alarm went off.
