Chapter Text

=Admin has added 12 people to the chat=  

 

Admin: I humbly welcome you, individuals from various worlds. I know you are very confused by this, but I assure you that my reasons for doing this are benevolent. The purpose of this group chat is to share your experiences in your own worlds to learn from them. And perhaps when the time comes, you will receive an opportunity to change the fates that lay in your worlds. 

 

User 1: Sounds rather dramatic of you to say, mate. Why not tone it down a little? 

 

User 2: I agree. These theatrics are rather pointless. 

 

User 3: They didn't seem that dramatic to me.  

 

User 4: They weren't being dramatic to me either. 

 

User 5: The dramatics are not the issue. I wish to know the true intentions of our host. 

 

User 6: They did say did they their reasons were benevolent. Do you think they're being dishonest? 

 

User 7: If they had ill intentions, then they would know the repercussions for such deceit. 

 

User 8: On that, I can agree. 

 

User 9: Okay, maybe we're all too tense. We should try breaking the ice. 

 

User 10: Come on, bro. Let's revel in the chaos a bit more. 

 

User 5: Chaos is never a good thing to revel in. 

 

User 10: Boo~ 

 

User 11: I'm with 11. A little chaos never hurt anyone.

 

User 12: Enough talk about chaos. Let's get to breaking the ice.

 

User 1: I agree. Let's do some icebreaking by introducing ourselves. I'll go first. 

 

=User 1 changed their name to Zagreus=  

 

Zagreus: My name is Zagreus, prince of the underworld and son of Hades, god of the dead. 

 

User 2: Nice to meet you, Zagreus. I shall introduce myself as well. 

 

=User 2 changed their name to Amiya=  

 

Amiya: My name is Amiya, one of the leaders of Rhodes Island. We are a pharmaceutical company based in Terra dedicated researching and finding a cure to Oripathy. 

 

User 3: A pleasure, Amiya. Now it's time I introduced myself. 

 

=User 3 changed their name to Brimstone=  

 

Brimstone: My name is Brimstone. Well, it's actually my codename. No offense to anyone here, but I want to be able to trust all of you before I give my real name. Anyway, I'm the commander of the VALORANT Protocol. We're tasks with protecting our world from disasters caused by Radianite. 

 

User 4: We understand completely, Brimstone. We barely know each other, so it's fine to keep some secrets. Anyway, I'm next. 

 

=User 4 changed their name to Aether=  

 

Aether: I'm Aether. I was seperated from my sister while we were travelling worlds, and I landed in this world called Teyvat. I'm hoping to find her somehow.

=User 5 changed their name to Cao Cao=  

 

Cao Cao: My name is Cao Cao, a military leader and chancellor of the Han Dynasty. However, I fear unrest will tear the kingdom apart.

Rapi: My name is Rapi. I am a Nikke and a member of the Counters. Pleasure to meet all of you. 

 

User 7: Nice meeting you Rapi. My turn. 

 

=User 7 changed their name to Retr0=  

 

Retr0: My user name is Retr0. Much like Brimstone, I'm not ready to reveal my real name yet. All you need to know is that I'm a hacker. A good one, I might add. 

 

User 8: Good to meet you, Retr0. Looks like I'm next. 

 

=User 8 changed their name to Tari=  

 

Tari: My name is Tari, and... look, to be completely honest, I have no idea what's going on. I woke up in a lab and find myself wandering in a city... forgive me, this is a lot to take in. 

 

User 9: No problem, Tari. We'll give you some time to adjust. Anyway, it's my turn. 

 

=User 9 changed their name to Wise=  

 

Wise: I'm Wise, one of the owners of Random Play, a video rental shop. And my sister is here. Say hello, you little gremlin. 

 

User 10: Wow, way to put a girl on the spot. 

 

=User 10 changed their name to Belle=  

 

Belle: I'm Belle, the co-owner of Random Play. And as you already know, I'm the adorable younger sister of Wise. 

 

Wise: And a gremlin. 

 

Belle: Hush. 

 

Retr0: Damn, you two really are siblings, going back and forth like that. 

 

Aether: Reminds me of me and my sister. 

 

User 11: Alright, guess it's my turn to reveal myself.

 

=User 11 changed their name to Lepic=

 

Lepic: My name is Lepic, and I'm a Descendant. I, along with several others defend the world of Ignis from otherworldly threats such as the Vulgus and Colossi.

 

User 12: Wow, that sounds really cool! And it looks like I'm the last one to introduce myself.

 

=User 12 changed their name to Gudako=

 

Gudako: My name is Gudako, a Master for the Chaldea Security Organization. Nice to meet all of you.

 

Aether: Nice to meet you too, Gudako.

 

Admin: Wonderful to see that you are all getting along so well. I have high hopes that this chat room will lead to great things in the future. 

 

Brimstone: Sounds to me like you have a plan for us. 

 

Admin: I would be lying if I said I didn't. But rest assured, I have everyone's best interest at heart. 

 

Cao Cao: We shall hold you to that, administrator. 

Notes:

Edit: I forgot to add Lepic from First Descendant and Gudako from FGO.
