21 Vol 1. pt. 21 Patch 5.0: All Your Ship Are Belong To Us (1/2)
Cassiel is excited to work with Fenrir after hearing his new plan. He has to work some of it over with Oleander still, but it should work. For now, Fenrir and Cassiel exchange Fiscord names and head back to their safe spots.
It's late. Fenrir may not have gotten much done, but he's made a new friend – well, he thinks that he can call her that, and has helped Rock evolve into a proper pup! He can't wait to see how the rest of the group reacts when they see her now. Of course, he's also interested to see how they're going to react to Cassiel. He can't imagine them being too kind to her if he lets them know that she almost killed him. Maybe he shouldn't let them know?
Nah. He's definitely going to let them know.
Having crawled back into the small den where Bonekraka and Serra are logged out in, he wakes from the game and heads over to his desktop. He has to add Cassiel to Fiscord before he forgets her username.
Friend request sent to Holy Justice #3498
Her Fiscord username fits her in-game appearance, but as far as matching her personality goes, it's a complete miss.
The request doesn't get accepted right away. Ryouta stares at the screen for a few minutes in waiting. It's only been a day, but he's grown used to Serra's immediate responses. He also sends a message in the group chat letting everybody know that he's found a new friend and has come up with a plan, but that he has to tell them the plan in-game. He figures that telling them the plan outside of game would be pointless since their virtual assistants will just block the memories.
”Time to try sleeping again,” Ryouta says, stretching and yawning. He's fortunately tired enough to sleep now.
His alarm wakes him up at a normal hour, which is unfortunately only a few hours after he was finally able to fall asleep.
Staying awake is going to be rough if he doesn't want to mess up his sleep schedule.
Then again, seeing as how he has nothing to do but gaming, it's not like it matters if his schedule gets messed up.
”Yeah, I'm pathetic,” he says to his ceiling fan. ”I need to get one of those little robots that automatically make and bring you coffee. Hey, fan, go buy me a coffee robot.”
The fan replies by continuously spinning its blades around.
”Fuck you too then.”
Ryouta grumbles and climbs out of bed. After relieving his bladder, the first thing he does is plop into his desktop's chair and open up Fiscord. There are new messages in his direct messages and the group chat. He checks the group chat first.
>Viktor's Favorite Slut: k
>Viktor's Favorite Slut: i'll start heading down 2 u guys after class
>Viktor's Favorite Slut: is the new person a cute boy
Of course, that's all Spencer is worried about.
Ryouta checks his direct messages.
>HushedVoice: Good morning! I just woke up. I hope you slept well! Let me know when you're ready to play more. I hope we have another wonderful day together!
>HushedVoice: Ahhh! I just read the group chat and saw you played more! I told you not to immerse again before me >///Holy Justice: Hey
>Holy Justice: Ready to kick their asses whenever you are
Whereas Spencer is obsessed with cock, Cassiel is apparently obsessed with revenge. He sends a couple of messages to the group chat and Serra before sending Cassiel a response.
>TheMemeStruggle: Your name and looks make me think you're like some sort of paladin roleplayer, but you seem more like the dark knight type.
Ryouta gets some water and a morning snack while waiting for the replies to come in. Surprisingly, Serra isn't the only one to have replied while he was up.
>Holy Justice: I used to be
>Holy Justice: Was one of the Augus Empire's holy knights before I fucking got reset
>Holy Justice: Livia wouldn't take me back since I wanted revenge but she didn't want to hurt relations with their guild
>TheMemeStruggle: Livia?
>Holy Justice: Yeah, she's the Empress of the Augus Empire, sits up in Saint Augus and bosses everybody around from there
>TheMemeStruggle: Remind me of this in-game so I don't forget when I immerse.
>Holy Justice: It's vague enough and common knowledge so it shouldn't get blocked
>TheMemeStruggle: Good to know, thanks. It's going to be a few hours before we can do anything.
>Holy Justice: Immerse to help me pass time, I'm off today
>TheMemeStruggle: So bossy. At least let me finish my breakfast first.
And by breakfast, he means chips.
