-Makoto Aiko/Aikoto-

The boy slightly frowned as he felt she absent mindedly said in a rather awkwardly cheerful voice that there were no lions around. However, he also decided to stare at it from a positive angle and assumed she just wanted to lighten the mood. He shook his head slightly and me out a brief sigh as he pushed his glasses upwards before focusing his attention on the girl. Eventually his interest waned as eyebrows cocked up. The boys eyes lazily drifted about the group, blinking as he analyzed each of them for the most part. Even though they didn't look particularly outstanding, he had a slight hunch that they might understand this place better than him. With that little act out of the way, he returned his gaze to the girl as he silently spoke to her in a mundane voice.

"It was a figure of speech as being tense makes you liable to myriads of pitfalls, however you're probably trying to sort of lighten the mood a bit because of what we heard. Thanks... and yes, I have thought this all out completely. When my sister was helping me set this whole stuff up, she explained how this all works out and what I want supposed to do. I'm sure you remember that you had to perform one intricate feat before logging on completely or something. Add that in with the fact that we all look like what I assume is our real forms and what we saw, I'm not taking his words for granted. Until someone can find substantiated claims against our concurrent knowledge, the things he explained and showed, I have to sort of believe his words. I'm not taking any chances here... Er, apologies if I was rather rude with my assertions, not a great way to make friends. It's a pleasure to meet you Suki, I look forward to working alongside you guys."

As he responds to the girl, he gave her a pleasant smile, one which didn't further exhibit his pride. Even though he held himself with an arrogant air at first, he was quick to drop the partial act for now as it would probably be disconcerting travelling with a person who made the air thicker just by being in their presence. He wasn't going to distort their views of him so quickly, and further discerned that the levels of panic attacks wern't going to subside for the first day. It would probably increase over time if naught was completed. Even though it was selfish, he knew it also gave them leeway to getting ahead of the groups that were ensnared in a trance of life and death. He opened up his guide book and began reading over it so he could further procure unknown information about the game, as well as studying the menus. Eventually one of the few in the group piped up just as he was learning about how the inventory system properly worked along with the currency this realm used. He eventually pocketed the book and temporarily closed the menu to listen to what he had to say. Aikoto quietly contemplated on this and soaked up the information he gave them, which meant he knew the best ways to level up, the best places to grind, the best places to get stronger and finish this whole thing. One way or another, he needed to get to floor one-hundred, he had to.

"So that means you know things about the game that we don't know about. My friends explained to to me that you had to either 'grind' or quest to get experience to level up. If that's the way we get stronger here, then I'm all for it... but first, we need to form an actual party, don't we? Lets see if I can remember what they told me... also, we should also friend each other just in case we get cut off and may need anothers assistance. Since you know more about this place than us, you should be the one to lead for now... Also, I only caught Sukis name, mind giving me yours beta-tester guy, and yours too black-haired guy? We need to begin our journey postehaste, otherwise we might not be able to escape."

As he spoke to each of them, he pulled up his menu and set himself onto the menu in which he can add friends he can chat with or invite to a party. Immediately he punched in Sukis name into the console, sending her a friend request. He patiently awaited the two to give give their names to prepare for the ordeals ahead. As he did so, he thought about how many people from his school were affected, how many around Japan were affected. This was absolute pandemonium as people were being crushed metaphorically by this world. He only do what he could to stay calm, but he felt that maybe it was inevitable that his mind, along with the others would be crushed if something horrid happened. Something was pounding into his head, telling him not to fall to this world.

"Also, beta-tester guy, don't do anything reckless. Same goes for you two, unless it is completely necessary and you know you can live through it... and please explain everything we need to know while were moving please as we need all the help we can get... Heh, funny how this is the first game I play in my life and its a life or death one. The irony stings me so brutally, but not as in a volatile manner as others who are sadly drowning under this information by the creator... erm, anyways, names please!"
