Ready Ch. 0009 Mrs. Bly Eng 4

Art3mis p. 87 “She had raven hair, styled Joan-of-Arc short, and appeared to be in her late teens or early twenties” “’She wore a suit of scaled gunmetal-blue armor that looked more like sci-fi than fantasy” “Twin blaster pistols were slung low on her hips in quick-draw holsters, and there was a long, curved elvish sword in a scabbard across her back” “…mid-80s post apocalyptic cyberpunk girl-next- door look” (87).

Dying with a Key p. 89 “I wouldn’t learn until later that the keys were nontransferable. You couldn’t drop one of them, or give them to another avatar. And if you were killed while holding one, it vanished right along with your body” (89).

If I win….. Parzival will….”The usual, I guess. Move into a mansion. Buy a bunch of cool shit. Not be poor” (97). And then….”I’d have a nuclear-powered interstellar spacecraft constructed in Earth’s orbit…I’d stock it with a lifetime supply of food and water, a self-sustaining biosphere, and a supercomputer loaded with every movie, book, song, videogame, and piece of artwork that human civilization has ever created, along with a stand-alone copy of the OASIS…leave the solar system and start looking for an extrasolar Earthlike planet” (97- 98). Art3mis will…”make sure everyone on this planet has enough to eat. Once we tackle world hunger, then we can figure out how to fix the environment and solve the energy crisis” (98)

Wade helps Art3mis “Hey, Art3mis…. Try playing on the left side. That’s how I won. I think he might be easier to beat if he’s playing the stork” ( 99).
