"We'll accept your offer, but with one condition." Dan said. Everyone's heads turned, wondering why these two fellows would accept the offer so readily.
"Well, what are the conditions," Andrea kept her calm facade, but was actually very nervous since she did not want the request to be very demanding.
"Just let us form a guild together and to let us be on the same continent when we get in the game. That is all we want. You can even let the rest of them pair up as well. It won't bother us." Shaun answered in a lax tone. He looked like a man on a beach in Hawaii. Not concerned about anything else other than the sun on his back
"That is easily doable! Hahaha, I thought you were going to-" Cloud was jumping for joy. He was about to run his mouth until Andrea cut him off, " That's enough Cloud. As Cloud said, we can easily do that but to make the playing field fair, everyone else will be allowed to pick one person on this table. That should be fair. Of course it is voluntary." Andrea smoothly offered more benefits.
"Very well, if that is the case then I shall request Gabriel to partner up with me, which of course means that I agree with terms." Alaric said as calmly as ever.
According to his calculative nature, he would have better chance of doing 'that' in the future with the help of a lot of money and a workforce. There for he wanted to be one of the first to ask for a team mate.
Gabriel seemed compatible with his personality as she acted very submissive but he could tell that she was clever by her stature. Her submissiveness could just be a façade but he was willing to take that risk.
"mmh" Gabriel grunted. She accepted his request but still did not speak any words. She had her own personal motives for this decision but ultimately she just needed someone to speak for her due to her circumstances.
"Then, Mazet, are you willing to pare with me?," Astor, seeing no other choice accepted the proposal and asked Mazet. The reason for that was because he knew that if he didn't get a partner he would be at an extreme disadvantage.
"If you don't get in my way it would not be a problem." Mazet said in a gruff tone. She still was not happy with the whole drawing of blood situation but she was mature enough to know when to put her pride down.
"Well that settles it. If no-one else has any special requests we can start to sin the contracts. Just voce your consent and this shall be written down." Cloud concluded the conversation and told them the procedures.
"Well now we just need to talk about one thing. Your in-game names. You need to know this so that you can Identify each other in the game." Andrea said. She wanted them to integrate into society properly so they needed to clarify these thing now.
"To create your character close enough to NPC's so that you aren't found out too quickly we have to raise your character up from a baby. Your personality test and belief test will help us define your characters quirks so that people don't find the difference between you and the simulated you." Andrea dropped another bombshell. This was beyond crazy but she needed to let the game character integrate into society properly and not disturb the game as it is currently running tough with no players.
Soon after Andrea finished speaking a blue hovering interface appeared in front of all of them. It read:
=====
Choose your usernames:
Nickname(in gamer terms, username):
Name:
=====
"As you can see you will have access to two usernames. Only you will have accses to these tw names, everyone else will only have 1.Your nickname and name. Your nickname is a name that all those that don't know your actual name call you, like a title. You will have to publicise the name for example if you killed someone and ran away, but once you were fleeing someone asked for your name, you wouldn't give them your 'name' but your 'nickname'.
Your 'name' is the name that your simulated character will be given at birth and you can give it to those close to you but not the world. It is supposed to be very personal. You may use your real life name but you can pick something different. Once you have chosen both names, please tell everyone on the table your username." Cloud finished. He had spontaneously put on a mini professor suit and harry potter glasses whilst explaining this as to lighten up the mood and it worked.
Everyone wore a smile whilst choosing there names.
Once all the names had been chosen, Andrea told everyone to tell everyone there nicknames in the order the came in from sixth. She also explained the reason for doing it. This telling of names would allow everyone to know of the deeds of the others so that they don't get left behind.
Gabriel- SilentWords
Astor-ThunderJudge
Alaric-VengefulSilence
Mazet- Warmonger
Shaun- TranquilStorm
Dan- SteelBerserker
Shaun's name in this had changed. It was was originally Bright Shadow, but he changed it.
It wasn't for a very important reason, he just felt like it. It wasn't like anyone would notice this change anyway.
"You have all chosen very mighty and strong nicknames, I'd hope you can live up to them hehe~" Cloud sniggered, teasing everyone on their name choices.
"Ok, that shall be all, I'll send you out and you will get your rewards on the specified date." Andrea, without waiting around, promptly forcibly sent everyone to the real world.
