he just smiled at him and nodded [color=f49ac2]"Yeah you are welcome."[/color]

Strykers enthusiasm shrank a little bit at the sudden realization that he might have offended the other player. Of course that wasn't intentional it was just that he had been so excited to get a start and clear the first hurdle, make a new friend, kick some boss monster ass, and begin the fiery streak to the end of this lousy situation and hell or high water Stryker intended to find Kayaba in the real world and kick the ever living shit out of the man for putting on such a wild and outright crazy god damn stunt like this. Lumping every paying customer in here was criminal!

How were they supposed to buy the god damn armor packs from the DLC shop?!

That was the real outrage. A business model like this was doomed to fail.

"Well, I don't have any friends either. So I'd wager you and me just found our first of many!"

With a dexterous sweep of his hand the menu dropped down, cycled through 3 options, then sent a friend / party request to Thomas. The deed done, he extended his hand out and beamed another bright oblivious smile.

walking over to Thomas and Stryker, he raised his double-bladed weapon in a half-hearted salute.

[color=orange]"I could definitely use a switch in gear. For more protection, obviously."[/color]

Stryker bit back a giggle at the sight of the newcomer. The mirror had clearly caught this one so far off guard it might have killed him. 

[color=f49ac2]"Clearly."[/color]

 Stryker managed to squeak out through gritted teeth as he failed to fully hold back the laughter threatening to escape his mouth. With a strong will he pushed down the urge to mock the thin boys looks and focused on the here and now. Two players, plus himself, made three. More than enough to fight the boss below and escape in one piece! 
Another flick of his fingers across the materialized menu sent another invite / friend request to the new guy. 

[color=f49ac2]"Second verse same as the first; I'm Lagstryker, but folks call me Marcus. Sorry if I was rude! Can't help myself sometimes."[/color]
