Business as usual.

SecretBlonde: So, how are you doing now that Jimmie is in the hospital?

Jeehan: If I tell you, you will just sell it with a big headline ‘The Gamer is Sad today!’

SecretBlonde: You know me so well~

John clicked his tongue in annoyance as he closed the private conversation on his phone. “Just ignore him.” Rave said at his side. They were currently on their way to school. It was a pretty nice morning and Rave had stayed over at his place for the night, so they had decided to walk the whole way today.

Three days had passed since the accident and it was now Thursday. They hadn’t seen Travolta since then, he holed himself up in his room upstairs doing…something. John had no idea he only sometimes heard something move up there when he and Rave visited the Arcade to maybe speak to Victoria, who had vanished completely since the accident. They were slightly worried but disappearing wasn’t exactly unusual for her.

“I wish I could but….” His phone vibrated and he looked into the group chat about him.

SecretBlonde: Hey, Y’All, just got the information that the Gamer is Sad today!

Princess_of_Steel: To think that I paid for this.

Blood: Please only write when you have something of substance.

Minerva: I wonder why he is sad? Do you have any information on that?

SecretBlonde: Somebody in his circle of affiliates got hurt.

GravityKing: Well, sounds weak but also understandable.

He **** himself to put his phone away. “…but it’s pretty hard to ignore people talking about you all the time.” “Well, yeah, but it’s not like you can do anything about it.” Rave said and pulled out her phone as well. “So, you might as well have fun with it.

Rave: So how are you guys doing today?

Princess_of_Steel: Small talk? Have we arrived at this pit already? Well, I sadly have nothing better to do so I might as well humour you. I am currently in a meeting.

GrimPatron: Drinking. Very drubk.

GravityKing: Unless you are someone influential I see no reason to answer you.

Rave: Well, maybe I am? ^^

GravityKing: Then I should be able to find SOMETHING about you on the auction.

Jeehan: Don’t you think that somebody really influential should be able to hide details of their life from the auction. @GravityKing.

Rave smiled at John. “Yeah, okay.” He admitted. “Maybe this is more fun than just taking it all in.” He was rewarded with a quick kiss to the cheek.

GravityKing:...I would like to say nobody important hangs out here buuuut @Romulus is here soooo. Okay, I am doing fine.

Anathema: Currently in New Zealand. I don’t like the weather.

Rave: What are you doing there?

Anathema: High-Fateweaver Stuff. My NDA says I can’t tell you more, sorry.

Minerva: Sounds like what the Gamer would say in order to get attention of himself.

Anathema: OH in the God-Emperor’s name I AM NOT THE GAMER OKAY?!

GravityKing: Yeah, right, Lol.

Anathema: Just tell them @SecretBlonde.

SecretBlonde: And lose the one advantage if have over you guys? I think not :O

Minerva: To answer the question though I am doing not so hot. Mostly because I am going through these old WW2 Files and the loss of life makes me sick. Get this though: Apparently the Germans had an Abyss strengthened Unit stationed in Normandy.

Princess_of_Steel: And?

Minerva: You don’t find an elite **** strengthened by some Abyssal **** weird? I mean Gaia would normally lose her shit.

Princess_of_Steel: If you dilute the stuff strong enough it isn’t different from a normal ****. Probably Mengele’s doing the madman made a lot of sick stuff…. which the Russian’s then stole. @Blood can probably tell you all about it.

Blood: The Soviets only did what was necessary to remove the threat of Nazi Germany from the Slavic lands.

KingGravity: Yeah right. You NEEDED his experiments to win the SURFACE war. Alright. /s

Princess_of_Steel: What Maximillian said.

“These two can agree on something?” Rave was surprised. “Probably only when they need to defend their country.” John mused and tugged his phone away as the school gate came into view. “I find it much more interesting how much of the Abyss gets over into the real world.” “Mhm, nah, can’t say it’s the same for me.” Rave said and was about to put her phone away when she got a call.

“What does Baldy want now?” She asked and raised the phone to her brunette hair. “Y’ello….What? Slow down Travy, what has…?” They stepped through the school gate and a window appeared in front of John.
