It’s a blueberry kind of day. The Gale is, as usual, flooded with people, with me being one of the faceless in a crowd of many. But things like that don’t really get to you after a while. Not when you have people to meet, places to be…parties to start.
Life, after all, is full of entertainment. Regardless of being a virtual system, the Gale aims to imitate life to its extremities and beyond…and it succeeded. The entire layout of Ninjago City stands as the center of this imaginative realm: a replica of its real-world counterpart down to the tiniest pebble. IGR has done well to repress the bleak memory of reality. Now entertainment will never cease. Now life will never end.
And who am I to resist its call?
Players and NPCs alike join me on the main street of the coded city, illuminated with lines of decorative lanterns dangling above. Blue-green lights shimmer and flicker from one corner to the next, and within a blink of my eyes, they fade away to a brilliant purple then vibrant shades of red, reminiscent of the days before. Under their guidance, I leave the road and step into my destination: Yang Tavern
The fight club is jam-packed, filled with more than its typical regulars. Looks like everyone got wind of my message. Normally I would just drop into the conversations and chat away without a second thought. But today’s not that kind of day. Even the party-starter has his blue days.
The blueberry lollipop tastes sharp and tangy, yet its sugars remain strong. I bite down hard on the stick and escape into a lesser crowd before anyone else recognizes me. I want to throw up.
The bar is empty ‘cept for me, the bartender, and another player. The coast seems clear. I wave goodbye to the other party and take a seat at the bar. "Hey. Want me to buy you a drink?"
"Huh?" The young man beside me looks up. His username is xxFIGHTERxx. "Nah, I'm good."
"A friend brought me a bunch of money to spend and I have a bit of excess," I answered. "Like they say, I'm not flirting but it is what it is. What's your favorite?"
"He's totally flirting," Meimei whispered with a giggle.
"Am not!" I replied. "I'm not into relationships and if I was it'd be a girl and that's that!"
Meimei kept laughing.
"Stop laughing, I'm not flirting!"
"Oh, am I ruining your image? I'm sorry."

{JAMMERS! -all writers- ONLY!} Alright. Something is holding my story posts hostage. It's not being moderated or rejected, so idk how to go from there. ._. {JAMMERS! -all writers- ONLY!} Well, that's no good. Maybe you could message a mod about it, if this goes on for any longer. {JAMMERS! -all writers- ONLY!} I got it all sorted out now. We're good to go.

Nick raises an eyebrow but continues without further questions. While he’s busy, I sneak a look to the other player at the counter. Dude’s having a drink and looks mad. He’s wearing a dashing leather jacket with fire emblems with a matching white top to the black overlay. Streaks of his sharp brown hair messily trail off to his side while his eyes are shield by a cool pair of sunglasses. Who wears that to a pub?
Nick passes the drink over, and the guy finally notices me.
“Whatcha lookin' at?” He snaps. “Chill, man. Nothin’ much.” I shrug and glance at his username. ElFuego. Fiery indeed. He looks away, clearly unsatisfied with the answer, before continuing: “What are you—some kind of cheap rip-off?” I take off my cap and study my hair. Is it really as bad as his? “I dunno, bro. You’re the one covering your face. Not me.”
There’s literal fume comin’ off that dude. He doesn’t deny this though and lets the comment slip by.
…I wonder how many more times I can poke the tiger.
Okay, that was the 2nd part of my post. My original plan was to introduce Kai, but since our amazing Red Ninja can't be in two places at the same time, I've decided trash this bit. @electricsunset1217 we will go with your newest part and continue from there. ^_^ (This post is solely for demonstrating Kane's personality. He's a fun guy. xD)

I cock my head and shrug. "It's fine, no harm done." Despite the fact that we can all see our usernames, a habit from the real world makes me introduce myself. "I'm 101DarkSandwichLord, but you can call me Lord Sandwich. Or Sandwich. Or whatever suits your fancy. . . Mochi-Panda."
"Alright....Sandwich." I grinned a bit. "You can call me Panda, or Emo Panda... that's what my best friend calls me." I chuckled.
"You can call me Bluebell, but since everyone knows the Ninja, I think it's alright if we go by first-name terms. I'm Jay."
"I'm Nya," Waterl1ly added.
"I'm Cole," DangerBuff, who was looking for avatar parts in his interface, said. The others began to change their appearances as well. (Let's just say they look like fantasy versions of their movie selves. )
"I would comment on that, but you're famous IRL so it's cool," I said. "So...are you guys gonna ally with us or..."
"If you want us to," Nya replied, shrugging. "I mean, you're one of the good guys, right?"
"Pretty much yeah," I replied. "My friends and I are pretty much just trying to stay safe right now, get some supplies."
"We know a guy," Cole replied, pointing to Jay, who chuckled.
"I am a guy," Jay clarified. "I've got tons of stuff in my inventory...tools, weapons, armor...mainly stuff to build with though."
"Sweet," I replied. "You're a useful asset to your team, arent'cha?"
"Don't you have a team?" he asked.
"Nah, I play it solo," I replied. "No team, no love interest, I'm independent and I'm good. Wait, are you guys all one team or..."
"There are a few more," Nya replied. "They're out training, they should be back in a few- oh, never mind!"
Three other teens joined the server; one, SJaguar, was a titanium robot with a flattop; another, ElFuego, was a good-looking Asian guy with wild hair; and the last one, EN3RG1ZE, was a guy who looked both European and Japanese, with wavy hair and bright green eyes.
"So...DangerBuff and SJaguar...? Is this a matching-name thing or...?" I chuckled. "Rocky DangerBuff and Snake Jaguar, huh?"
"Yes," SJ replied with a chuckle. "However, you can call me Zane."
"I thought we weren't supposed to state our names...?" EN3RG1ZE said, tilting his head.
"I analyze that everyone would know our names nonetheless," Zane answered. "Stating your name would do nothing to hinder your safety, Lloyd."
"This is a lotta people," I mutter to myself.

He's a fun guy. xD) (Nah, your introduction was too awesome. Let's just say Kai sort of went to the bar afterwards. LordTigress I'm gonna be over here, okay?)
I head over to the bar, a bit tired after some time of shopping and looking to get a nice drink to cool down. Unfortunately, I wasn't going to be doing any cooling down at the moment.
Kai took off his sunglasses, revealing his dark crimson eyes, and looked at me. I looked at him.
He looked at me.
And I looked at him.
And he looked at me.
And I looked at him.
And he said, "What do you want?"
I said, "Do you work here?"
"Nope, but I can buy you a drink."
"How ironic, I just bought that guy a drink, why would you want to buy me a drink?"
"This is my way of getting to know a friend." He smiled. "What do you want?"
"Um, a marble soda, please," I replied.
"One marble soda coming up," Kai replied, handing the barman some cash. "So tell me...where ya from?"
"Busan," I replied. "South Korea."
"Cool," Kai replied. "I'm from Canada, but I've got a little bit of Vietnamese, Japanese, and Filipino with a pinch of Mexican."
"Um...so," I sighed. "You were being kind of mean to the other guy, but you're being so nice to me. What's up?"
"Well, I...know you better, I guess," he replied with a shrug.
"We've known each other for three hours, Fuego," I replied.
"Longer than this guy," Kai said. "So...tell me more about yourself. Your type? Favorite foods? Ooh, what's it like in Korea?"
"Um...crowded," I replied, "very crowded. My favorite food is mochi ice cream. And...my type? I don't do romance, buddy."
"Then why were you flirting with that guy earlier?" Kai pointed to Kane.
"I wasn't trying flirt, I was just being nice!" I yelled. "I'm sorry if I don't know the difference! I'm absolutely aromantic!"
"Hm," Kai muttered.
"I'm serious! I don't like people! I mean- I don't have any interest in romance! Why- why are you laughing?"
"I've seen some chemistry between you and other players," Kai replied teasingly. "I know you think Lord Sandwich is handsome."
"Do not!"
"And Meimei is a cutie too, isn't she?"
"Maybe to you! Look- I don't do ships- as is relationships, and that's final!"
(Two references in one chapter. Wow. )

"Cool," Kai replied. "I'm from Canada, but I've got a little bit of Vietnamese, Japanese, and Filipino with a pinch of Mexican."
"Um...so," I sighed. "You were being kind of mean to the other guy, but you're being so nice to me. What's up?"
"Well, I...know you better, I guess," he replied with a shrug.
"We've known each other for three hours, Fuego," I replied.
"Longer than this guy," Kai said. "So...tell me more about yourself. Your type? Favorite foods? Ooh, what's it like in Korea?"
"Um...crowded," I replied, "very crowded. My favorite food is mochi ice cream. And...my type? I don't do romance, buddy."
"Then why were you flirting with that guy earlier?" Kai pointed to Kane.
"I wasn't trying flirt, I was just being nice!" I yelled. "I'm sorry if I don't know the difference! I'm absolutely aromantic!"
"Hm," Kai muttered.
"I'm serious! I don't like people! I mean- I don't have any interest in romance! Why- why are you laughing?"
"I've seen some chemistry between you and other players," Kai replied teasingly. "I know you think Lord Sandwich is handsome."
"Do not!"
"And Meimei is a cutie too, isn't she?"
"Maybe to you! Look- I don't do ships- as is relationships, and that's final!"
(Two references in one chapter. Wow. )
(Alrighty then! )Taking out the lollipop stick, I give Nick a small nod of thanks as he returns with our orders. A bottle of sparkling water slides into my open hand while the new arrival grabs his marble soda off the countertop, sipping on the liquid between breaks of his conversation with the angry dude. Fuego looks a lot more relaxed than he was earlier. Maybe he and Mochipanda are good friends…close enough to joke about relationships, anyways.
“Weirdos,” I mumble as I take a gulp of my own drink, only to spit it out as soon as I taste it. Blueberry. It’s blueberry. I shoot Nick a glare. He shrugs.
“Be careful what you say about ‘em, Kane.” “Why?” I push the bottle away, annoyed.
Nick lowers his voice. “They don’t look much, but they’re experts. That guy right there?” He directs my gaze toward Fuego. “He’s the top player of them fightin’ rings. Champion for about six months now. No one can take him down.”
“Really now?” I place the candy stick back into my mouth, readjusting my hat as I study the duo from a distance.
This just got more interesting.
(Man, now I wish I know more references. )

OoC: Now that Con's gone, this basically just became a Girl's Club in here. Now I'm laughing because three out of four girls' characters are guys, and we're all trying to do guy-talk to each other.

I think I'm gonna have to drop out here, sorry. I'm having problems keeping up, and honestly, I'm bogged down with lots of writing projects. Keep writings, amigos! Ok, understandable.

Oh yeah you're right!
