altimit | POST-GAME IRL PARTY LOG

Who: All the living players
What: Reunion party
When: Post-game
Where: ?
Warnings: none for now

[ It has been several months since the incident. Recovering from your body being in disuse for around two months must have been hefty, as well as your other commitments as well. Hopefully, everyone has recovered to an extent, because no matter where you are, the living players will receive the following in their mailbox: an invitation to a reunion party at a location near the beach between the ex-beta testers of Fragment, a bank card, and a 4-digit pin to said card from "Oriade". The invitation card will mention the following:

- A very convenient location nearby you with access to a small, private plane. For security purposes, you'll be told to list your in-game name, real name, and class before boarding.

- The bank card contains $10,000 as some sort of "compensation" for everything that happened because of the Fragment incident. He knows it can't replace everything (like lost lives), but he hopes this will help some people (because some people live paycheck to paycheck and he understands that). Access will be revoked in a month, so you better withdraw it all while you still can. Any unused funds will be returned. The bank will not question you withdrawing all the money from that account nor exchanging it all with foreign currency. (But-- no buts)

- The servers have been located and he knows how much you guys want to destroy these, so the server bash (literally) will happen some time during the party.

Being rich has its benefits, surely. When the plane lands with their luggage and all (if you brought any. please bring some), they'll be taken to a house that doesn't seem like much, but once they walk inside, it is actually very big! There are numerous rooms inside the house. The kitchen is stocked with everything you can think of with some dude(?) preparing all the food (he's the chef. don't worry about him). There is sure to be loads of different kinds of food that can cater to everyone's tastes. Yes, there is alcohol. Get some free rich ass liquor. No, you cannot smuggle any. That dude(?) will be keeping tabs. Sometimes there's a maid or two(? or is that the same one) running around and cleaning up after everyone. If you want something, go get it yourself. Self-service only.

There's a walkway in the backyard that's also wheelchair-accessible that leads to the beach! Enjoy that too.

But for the main attraction, the server burning. ]

Pretty sure taking away our memories was all part of the plan to convince us to stay in that so-called "perfect world."

Did you ever think it was perfect?

Hell no. It could literally kill people from like, week 2 at least.

[ well, he didn’t know that. still… ]

Why did you stay for as long as you did?

Because a certain idiot wouldn't quit.

[ he looks around like which idiot - because there are many ]

And then you ended up stuck with all of us for life.

[There are SO many.]

Ugh. Don't remind me.

You say that, but you showed up anyway. Honestly, I’m relieved though.

[ that last death was understandably rough on a lot of people, including her, so he’d been wondering if she was doing alright, if she had company while grieving ]

And turn down a free ride and a free party?

Might as well get something out of all this.

[ she gets him. started fragment for the free computer setup. free is free ]

Just say you miss being surrounded by chaos.

Um, yeah, no. I like not having to risk my life all the time, thanks.

I mean the stuff we got up to, minus the battles. That’s just, yeah, too… wild… I guess. I don’t know how to describe it? Doesn’t feel like that part was real.

[ even though the consequences are very much still felt ]

Got some bad news for you about the last month or two we were there.

You mean the only two months I was actually there? Well, I don’t regret all of it or anything. [ he can’t ] … Do you?

I mean, it'd be cool if I didn't have some literal trauma thanks to all of that.

And the rest?

What do you expect me to say? "Making friends was totally worth getting tortured over!"?

I’m not expecting anything. I’m just asking ‘cause I wanna get to know you.

Kind of late for that, isn't it? After this we're all going our separate ways again.

You wish. Look at this.

[ he pulls out his new phone!! ]

[Looks at it. Looks back to him.]

Okaaaay. And?

Gimme your number.

...

You can't be seriously considering calling me from Japan.

Is there a problem with that? Can’t we text?

[ this is his first phone… ]

But my fiancé also made this social net… working… thing and you should sign up for it.

That's going to count as long distance, dummy! And- wait a sec, fiancé?
