I think you're all gonna enjoy what's coming next. Gonna be quite a lengthy post when I get to writing it. Gotta head out soon for some errands, but when I return, It begins!
@KatherinWinter Not from what I'm aware. Simple Unicycle has already moved himself ahead to the next morning. There is an "event" planned for the next evening/night but I can't initiate that until everyone's ready (AKA, until night falls in the RP)

"Well here goes nothing" David said as he stepped through the gate. There was a moment of pitch darkness, followed by a strange crackling sound as the world began to re-render in front of his eyes, having played all the games to near-completion, David knew something had gone wrong. He was standing in a dark stone chamber, dilapidated and worn down with time. An ancient room with a bonfire lazily casting shadows on the wall, mixing with the dim moonlight shining through the cracks and holes in the high-vaulted ceiling. A doorway to his right led out into the night, on his left, a stairway leading down. This was the final bonfire of Farron Keep, a short run away from where the Abyss Watchers, a core boss of Dark Souls 3, waged their everlasting battle. Looking behind him, he saw that Jaz, Sam, and Alex had loaded in behind him, but the others were nowhere to be found.
"Navi, what happened? Where's Aliron and the others? And why are we here?"
"It appears that the corruption is much greater than anticipated. The attempt to transfer you all en masse was more than the system could bear. I am logging this data for future reference. Scanning. It appears the others arrived at the correct data shard, they will shortly enter combat with the Skeleton Lords and their army of the dead, upon victory, they will receive the orb, and be able to invade the Default. I suggest you push forward. Defeatng the Abyss Watchers and taking their souls will provide enough energy to power a jump to the final boss, the keeper of the first Datacore Key. Additional scans show the route forward is clear, a fortunate side effect of the game corription...... oh."
"What's 'oh' Navi?"
"It appears the overwhelming corruption on these data shards have infected the background programs I have been running, your abilities will be blocked, and avatar protection has been disabled"
"What are you saying Navi, what avatar protection"
"In most of these digital realms, avatar protection is a failsafe program that prevents data from falling through a crack in programming, such as a failed loading state. I reverse engineered it, and applied it to each of you to ensure a continuation of data, a respawn if you will. However with the infection of that program, I fear player death in this corrupted stage may be permanent"
The words hit David like a ton of bricks. Up until now this game world had been all fun, sure they had some setbacks, and everyone was wondering how the hell this had happened and how they were getting home, but it was enjoyable to physically experience their favorite games. Now, faced with the possibility of real death, David was paralyzed. He hardly heard Navi's next words.
"I will relay this message to the other players and attempt to repair the program, however, the data shard's corruption may prevent me from restoring it until all avatar's have been removed. Please do try not to perish"

Kinda slap-dashed together but we're good to go!
The commanding officer of Task Force Zero walked in and sized up his recruits.
"No salutes please, we gotta get down to it. Kinda runnin late. So, welcome everyone, I'm Captain Upton, though you can call me J.B. if you want. You're all here because you each possess exceptional skills, handpicked for this mission. The main objective of our squad is to quell the terrorist organization known as the Valkyrie Network. Seemingly popping up out of nowhere in recent months, they are nationless, faceless, and ruthless. They were responsible for the sudden bombing in Rome 2 months back. We have no intel on where they came from, or what they want. What we do know is that they appear to have an unlimited supply of resources, and their operatives tend to explode if you attempt to take them alive. Even dead, they're completely un-identifiable. The popular theory right now for as why they're untraceable is because they hide in plain site, operating out of allied nations. Hence, us. We will be completely deniable assets. As far as the Joint Chiefs, NATO, hell, even your mothers are concerned, we do not exist as of this moment. On the ground, we'll be communicating strictly off of codenames, which I believe many of you have already provided for yourselves, or have had one assigned to you. Wish there was more time to go into things, get to know each other a bit, but we've got to move, right now. We're heading into Indonesia, there's a compound in the jungle that may be a staging area for these bastards. Head on down to the armory and load up. Wheels up in 25, let's move!"
