It's a nice detail that this guy, Nuada, is just investigating these things on his own. because of course there are people who noticed weird shit is going on and want to get to the bottom of it.

Avatar
Shaiapouf 13-Mar-22 09:48 PM
The gang has a good time fighting uh...these robots who look like if the mass produced eva series put on some pounds
21:48
they fuse into a single, bigger robot
21:49
everyone goes off without incident. Good for Gaspard, imo
21:50
this is like, an in-setting game quest, if that wasn't clear
21:51
Good gaming, friends
21:51
as Haseo walked around town he is accosted
21:51
21:52
In fact, Alkaid is having a fight with her guildmate, Sirius
21:52
who is acting....very odd
21:52
21:52
21:52
21:53
21:53
and Sirius leaves the area
21:53
21:53
Haseo: the fuck was that?
21:53
21:53
And then she runs off too
21:53
Haseo: Wat
Avatar
Shaiapouf 13-Mar-22 10:04 PM
so, there is a mini game I do here which is basically about chasing these weird gold goblin guys on your motorcycle
22:04
I wasn't gonna bother even bringing it up
22:05
but the music they use for this is...wild
22:06
It needs to be listened to at least
22:07
this happened, don't worry about it
22:09
Anyways, the plot continues once you check your e-mails
22:10
So, there are three "Palaces" of the PVP arena. Haseo replaced Endrance as emperor of the "demon palace" which is the low level player arena
22:10
There are two more, for intermediate and high level players. Coincidentally, that will match perfectly with the level ranges we'll be in for Vol 2 and 3 respectively šŸ™ƒ
22:11
Alkaid, as you may recall, was emperor of the demon palace before Endrance beat her with his Avatar. Sirius, the weird dog guy, is Emperor of the holy palace. Given how weird he's acting, it's fairly reasonable to assume he somehow got infected with AIDA, like Endrance was.
22:12
when we log in, Alkaid is standing right there
22:13
Haseo: Oh, perfect, I had a question for y-
22:13
Alkaid joins your party without your consent.
22:13
22:14
We're going on an adventure with Alkaid(?)
22:15
you can pick the third member, so I'll grab gaspard
22:15
Adventure time?
22:15
Haseo: yo what's this about?
22:16
she simply ignores him
Avatar
Shaiapouf 13-Mar-22 10:28 PM
one fairly tedious dungeon later
22:28
Haseo: Okay enough already, what's this about
22:29
22:29
22:29
22:29
22:29
22:29
22:29
22:30
22:30
Sirius has teamed up with uh, the weird guys who rescued Haseo when the server was being restart
22:31
blue guy and winged guy, who are on team Tri-edge
22:31
I'm just gonna call them the Azure Knights, collectively, cause that's what they're called
22:31
22:32
Alkaid reminisces on her friendship with Sirius, which mostly seemed to be composed of them arguing
22:32
22:32
22:33
Alkaid admits, somewhat surprisingly, that all her bluster and anger was because the idea of fighting Haseo again terrified her
22:33
22:34
Alkaid says because of this, she quit Icolo
22:34
22:34
22:34
22:34
22:34
22:34
22:35
22:35
22:35
Sirius and Alkaid appear to have been something of an item
22:36
which is funny because he's mostly talking about WARRIORS SPIRIT AND PRIDE
22:36
But I guess she's into that
22:36
22:36
22:36
...oh god, I know where this is going
22:37
YEP
22:37
Yep, we're doing it again
22:37
22:38
She actually gets really embarrassed about requesting this and basically says "never mind, don't worry about it, it was just a prank bro ahahah"
22:38
22:38
Feel pretty bad for her, honestly
22:39
22:39
22:40
Haseo has his own reasons for investigating this anyways
22:41
22:41
in order to move on to a new arena, Haseo has to give up his designation as the arena emperor of the demon palace
22:42
he does this extremely casually, which is funny, because of what a big deal was made of being an emperor, even of the low level arena, in the previous game
22:42
Alkaid, who tried so hard to retake her throne as emperor, is kinda gobsmacked
22:43
Haseo: I literally didn't even care about that, I just wanted to beat endrance
22:43
22:43
And Alkaid joins the party, properly
22:43
22:44

I feel like I lucked out with pronouns that don’t bother me and everyone uses because of society, so I’m cool with whatever anyone else wants
