Ah.
[ A boy of an almost adolescent age (12 to be exact) peers down at his sleek new contraption looking rather bored, but unperturbed by the blustering winds around him. Aside from his blowing head of wavy silver hair, he looks rather normal as kids go, though first impressions can most definitely be deceiving. Oh yes. ]

Normally she ignored people's first transmissions, but something caught her interest.]
...you've been in another game? Eheh? [She tilts her head.] What kind?

Yes. It was a Hunter game called Greed Island, though it was a lot more interesting since it was adapted similar to a MMORPG.
[ And his best friend was with him, but shhh. ] But this place? It's more like a cliche horror movie, don't you think? There's not a lot of appeal to it.

What's a MMORPG? Eheh?
I haven't really seen any horror movies to know the cliche, but I guess I hear about them enough from -- uh -- a "homie". But even then, all I know is that they're usually made by "douchebags". And I think there was something about subliminal messaging too, heheh...

To put it simply, it's a kind of game where people from anywhere can play all at once. Just like this game sucked us all into one playing session.
But "douchebags"? [ Pff. ] I think I can agree with that. Only deranged people would be able to make a crazy game like this.

[That's all Relius heard once he saw this live feed. For a few hours now, the masked alchemist has been lurking within the shadows of the network studying the other players of this mock game. He hadn't gone through the trouble of making his presence known to the populace of this island and planned on never doing so.
However, what this white haired boy said interested him enough to speak.]
Is this your second time at a game like this one?

[ In all honesty, it wasn't really his intention to pique the interest of players through his experience of playing virtual reality games. Killua had thought it would be best to investigate all of the individual players by asking for their names, but this worked out too. People were always eager to complete their session. The players in the previous game was no different. ]

[Despite all of his knowledge, Relius couldn't phantom how it could be possible for a single organization to construct such an elaborate ploy as this one.
Pulling various strangers from various dimensions into one single world? Now that sounds something that only a so-called "god" should be capable of doing.]

[ Almost freakishly so. Life threatening RPGs certainly were the popular fad these days. ]
Anyone who enters the game, cannot leave. Not until it's been completed.
[ He tilts his head towards the screen. ] Right?

Rewards. Anyone who finished the game would get get something in return. That's how games usually go, don't they? You rack up experience and win prizes for it.
I played the game willingly because someone offered money for the winner. That, and it seemed pretty interesting so I went for it.
[ Well. That, and he was helping a friend find his dad. But personal details weren't something he was going to reveal so easily. ]

Gotcha, I-pin. But I'm not an old man, so just Killua is fine.
