Mantam smiled at Prince's jape. "If only." She said sarcastically to the thought of Cynthia naked. Mantam found the joking to end rather quickly as her vision was consumed by an unfamiliar face. Her first thought was that she had been hacked. Due to the uniqueness of Paradise hacking could have some pretty disastrous effects, and although the security was supposed to be very tight, people always found a way. However, she quickly found out to her horror that this wasn't the case. The man spoke of tantalizing riches, but the words hardly registered in her mind. What did register was "However, there is a high price to pay for failing. Die in the game, and you'll find you won't be waking up any time soon. If your family members decide to try and remove you from your game device, you will die. If you attempt to leave the game in anyway, via hacks or other means, you will die."

Mantam's face quickly turned to shock. "This is some kind of practical joke, right?" She said, with a forced laugh tailing her sentence. She quickly tore open the menu, and moved for the logout button to find that there was no such thing. Her head began to swim, This can't be real, there's no way this is actually happening. But she could feel it. The way that man spoke, he was telling the truth. No ordinary hack would have the ability to project a message like that, let alone remove the logout button. I could... die? I can't leave? I don't want to die... I don't want any of this. "There's no way this is..." She felt the words caught in her throat. She couldn't handle this. This was no joke. No game company would make a joke like this, there would be too much backlash.

This was real. She knew it. And she couldn't handle it. She closed her eyes, and when they opened again she found herself advancing rapidly towards the ground. Mantam passed out.

Mantam sighed as Cynthia appeared in full regalia. She played the part of the drill sergeant perfectly. She gave a sympathetic look to the girl, who she now knew as 'Cherry'. She strode over to the girl and placed a hand on her shoulder. Mantam smiled at the girl and whispered to her, "Don't worry, we're not as crazy as we seem. Cynthia comes on a little strong, but she means well." Mantam disengaged from her and next walked to Cynthia. She leaned into her, putting her mouth to her ear, whispering to her next, "Cynth, girl, you know I love you, but please tone it down next time. Remember, this girl's a Pilot, and you know we still need a Pilot." Mantam smiled at her, and moved on, next heading back towards the mouth of The Cave, towards Marinette and Hazard. Mantam let out an audible sigh as she reached them. "Another happy day at The Cave. We finally find a Pilot, and Cynthia has to do this." Mantam smiled at Hazard, and placed a hand on his shoulder, "You know Cynthia means well, right? I'm sure the ways she sees it we need someone to crack the whip, Prince being lazy as he is. If it weren't for her, we probably wouldn't get anything done." Mantam said with a small giggle at the end. "Come get me when we get moving, alright? I've hand enough of whatever's going on out here."

Mantam advanced into The Cave, waving back at the pair before leaving their sight. She saw Prince, napping as usual. She sighed. How typical. Mantam hit him lightly on the chest, "You better wake up or Cynthia may have a few choice words for you. Or you can nap, up to you." She thought for a moment and added hastily, "She's in drill sergeant mode, so you should be careful."

God, Guild is down for a few hours, come up for a few minutes, goes back down, comes back up, repeat a few times.

This is really frustrating.

Paradise

Wow, that may have been the longest outage yet. Almost six* hours.

*Probably not, but still a few hours.

Control freak Mantam owns the situation.

Mantam saw people slowly starting to leave The Cave. First went Raijin, then Cat, then Hazard, and by the Mantam's interest was surely piqued. She turned to break off her conversation with Cynthia, "It looks like somethings afoot. I'm going to go investigate." Mantam said with a wink, before jumping up from the crafting table, leaving her work for another day. She found those that departed, along with Grey and Marinette, who had left earlier. They were all crowded around something, and as she approached, she found what appeared to be a girl. You can never be too sure in MMOs. The girl seemed young, and innocent, and perhaps a bit flustered by the group that was forming around her, or whatever caused them to take interest. Mantam quickly spoke up, "Who's this? A friend of ours?" She said, smiling at the girl.

As Mantam scanned the girl, something clicked in her head. Goggles, gun, wrench, tacky looking military attire... she was a Pilot. Mantam quickly took control of the situation, grabbing the girls hand and gently but forcibly leading her out of the crowd. "Group conference!" Mantam declared happily, giving no one a chance for retort. She rejoined the circle, and whispered to the group, "I don't know who she is, but she looks like she's a friend of yours, Raijin, if I'm reading the situation right. I don't know if you guys have been keeping track, but the only class our group needs is a Pilot, and she's pretty clearly a pilot... we should invite her in, if she can be trusted."
