10 Creating an Avatar (1/2)

Having double checked to ensure that both Leif and Angus were indeed still alive and planning to stay that way, as well as having devoured sufficient water and nourishment to last him a couple hours. Eric returned to the FateGear.

Hauling himself off of the now familiar couch, he turned to observe the righthand wall.

”0d 0h 5m 32s” it read.

Just in time, Eric thought to himself, connecting quickly to the Strife call.

<Kyp> has reconnected.

<Bogs>: Alright we're all here now. The plan stays the same as it's been for the last few days.

<Kyp>: Level like demons and group up as quickly as possible?

<Boreik>: While learning as much as we can about the game.

<Bogs>: Pretty much. Also try to find some strong players who would be willing to join the guild once we create it. While seven people should be enough for a team we have no idea what the rules for the tournament are going to be. If it turns out we need ten, twenty, or even a hundred people we're in trouble with just us. You don't need to recruit them immediately but try to make friends.

<Nelo>: Should we try infiltrating other guilds to draw members away?

<Bogs>: Nah, that would just get us targeted. Making friends with members of other guilds is fine though.

<Shinvincible>: Can we PK people we don't like? Not a question, I'm doing it anyways.

<Bogs>: Just try not to be a dick Jun. All I ask.

<Kyp>: lol not a chance.

<Shinvincible>: Suck my dick Eric.

<Kyp>: Does the FateGear have a magnify feature? Maybe I can actually find it for you.

<OMGio>: lol

<Bogs>: Alright focus guys. Two minutes to launch. Power your way through the tutorial, I'm not sure if Strife will work in game or not. There were rumours on the net that only Hurricane's partychat voice system will work ingame to increase immersion. Also there's a chance we won't be able to select our starting zones. I'm not sure if that's true or not but be prepared to meet back here in three hours to discuss.

<Sweet_Temptation>: Will do.

<Boreik>: Gotcha.

<Kyp>: Will do.

<Bogs>: Alright the game is launching in one minute. Let's get ready.

<You have been disconnected from the call>

<Reason given: Conflict with Fate PartyChat System>

Eric smirked, looks like Mark was right. At least he wouldn't have to deal with Jun for a couple hours. As the last grains of sand fell from the giant hourglass, the hourglass' figure suddenly blurred, morphing back into the enormous Fate logo.

”Welcome to Fate.” A disembodied voice echoed through the chamber. ”Synchronizing with player's FateGear. Synchronization complete. Loading Fairy Guide.”
