IRL Time: Friday, March 17th 2018, 8:30 PM Aurastia Time: -3:30 hours to launch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Today is friday, a day long awaited by a majority of the population on earth. The day that symbolizes a break from work and school, a chance to chill and have fun. But this friday is a big day for some, including a small group of friends. Agents Temporalis, a new VMMORPG is launching tonight at midnight. A select few were selected as beta testers, and this group of friends had all gained access. Because of this, the game was pre-loaded into their dive gear, the equipment used to enter the virtual world. Even though their characters would be reset to level 1, they would gain a special title, "Chrono Trigger". They had all decided to gather at their favorite burger joint in order to Celebrate the launch and kill some time until it happened. College classes were over for the day, leaving them ready and raring for the game.
Entering Persefoni's father's joint, Wolfgang got his black leather jacket off, wrapped it around his arm and pushed himself in the groups' booth at which they always sat. It was a shame he had to start Blizzard Wolf all over again, but then again, it would be nice to see the game in it's complete state from the start on - the way it was supposed to be. He drummed a bit on the table with his palms, being rather excited and usually expressing it this way. "Where are the others? I hope they ain't intend to study all night..." He leaned to the side to pull his smartphone out of his pocket and open a group chat, there he texted the rest of the group (@lord-watchman @Maleth @Casavay ). "Where are you guys? Waiting at Perseys place." He made the 'e' of 'Persey' as the greek 'eta' symbol to tease her.
<Persefoni Franklin> The very same moment, Persey left the kitchen, the black apron she needed to wear for work over her arm, spotting her friend quite easily in the not too large burger place. It helped that he sat where they always sat. Quickly (and ignoring her co-workers), she walked over to him and took a seat across him, wearing the usual washed-out jeans and band T-shirt (Ozzy Osbourne this time). Free of all obligations today, the tall woman leaned back in the booth, playing with her lip ring subconsciously and offering her friend a slight, but nevertheless very sincere, smile. "Dad decided to let me out earlier", she said warmly in spite of Wolfgang already knowing this. "And also, you're an ass. And I'm hungry, so're we gonna order now or wait for the rest?" She didn't have to check the menu to know what she wanted - after all, she regularly made and/or delivered them here, and she knew what she liked, how long it took to make it, and how much it would cost, not that they wouldn't get a slight but pleasant discount on virtue of being family and friends. "So we're still going to do like before, in Agents, right? You with Allie doing the Deeps, and Lucy as the big lug of steel between us and the horrible death? I'm still kinda excited, even if it isn't all that new to us."
~~Wolfgang Steinmeyer~~ "At least I don't eat bat-heads." He grinned across the table. "Let's wait for them, but let's get some Onion Rings as appetizers at least!" Wolfgang always needed the onion rings. He wore one of his simple polo-shirts from American Eagle, dark blue with the 'American Eagles Outfitter' logo on the left side of his chest and black jeans. "As for the plan... I suppose? Can't let go of that dragonhunter-style crossbow now, can I? Like the legends of Siegfried! I mean.... Well he had a sword, but you get the idee." His german showed for a moment! True sign of excitement! "Can't wait either. Even going to try that Iron-Man out, so I can outlevel you all!" The german immigrant boasted with huge pride.
<Persefoni Franklin> "I am Iron Man", she replied melodiously, continuing the reference. "By which I mean, yes, me too. I mean, we're kind of familiar with the system at least, so why not. And, speaking of crossbows, wasn't this Siegfried person killed by a crossbow bolt to his heart or something?" Persey decided to leave the onion ring thing uncommented and just waited for an opportunity to order them, her stomach already rumbling in protest at a day of work with only a meagre breakfast. "You know, non-burger dad is still unconvinced that these gaming implements won't eat my soul and fry my brain. It's kind of funny, the way he worries." But then again, he had been the one to convince his husband to allow Persey to take up the offer to get an eyebrow piercing 'super cheap'. Parents and their priorities could be funny, she mused.
"da da, da da da!" He tuned into the song, making the air guitar fit to it. She knew he loved Guitar Hero and Rockband. He would propose to play some tunes, but then again, nothing would bring him joy, game-wise, except a certain time-traveller, monster-slaying, super crazy MMO. Those guys from Mythic Dragon Entertainment sure outdid themselves with that... "Not sure... I think it was actually a spear to his neck? ... Kind of like with Achiless, weakspot, etcetera, etcetera." He shrugged, not knowing that much about history, nor caring. Siegfried from Warhammer 40k was much cooler anyway than the Nibelungen one. "Just be glad you are worried about. And I bet he wasted all his money when he was young on Mr and Mrs. Pac-Man." He made a gesture going from left to right, eating with his hand. "Waka waka waka." OOC: HAH! References for the Reference gawd! And even more inceptions!
lucy walked in to the resturant slowely laptop bag at her side and long coat slung over it to keep the coat from trailing but not on her as it was to warm for it with black bags under her eyes as she walked to the table with the others "evening" with that she sat down
"I doubt he-" "Lucy!", Persey exclaimed, waving at her other friend. "Get here quick, we were just about to get some appetisers! Holy hell, you look tired. Tough day?" The question really wasn't neccessary, but she wanted to get Lucy talking. Persey knew from her own experience that a whole day of classes could kill your energy faster than you could look. But today, she hoped that Lucy still had some reservoirs left, because they had plans to stay up all night gaming. This was the game of the decade right here, just waiting for them.
Wolfgang slid to the end of the booth to make space for Lucy, sitting on top of his jacket now. "Yeah, you look like crap." He said straight-out but with a smile. "You need some Moutain Dews if you want to keep up with us tonight!" Then his stomach roared with the power of over 9000 thunderstrikes! "Food, ladies. Wolfy needs food."
