Ryan smirked at all of the talking, it seemed they would all be good friends soon enough, fighting their way through the game with ease. He accepted the friend request from Raven before suddenly hearing someone shouting nonsense about the log out button being absent. "Of course it's not..." He looked in his menu, getting a confused look as he looked through each section, finding absolutely nothing. "Uh... Log out! Link end! Nothing...?" He glanced to Bacchus for a moment before closing the menu he had opened. "It's just a bug, there's bound to be one or two... As soon as they decide it's best, they'll just boot us all from the game and take the servers down for maintenance..." He smirked, looking around at the group, "Guess we're stuck here, might as well have some fun while we are... Let's go hunting until we're strong enough for the next area!"

Suddenly, Ryan felt the push of a punch, though didn't feel the pain yet, and saw lightning. What the hell!? Suddenly he wasn't where he had been before. He was watching a cloud tell them the about how they would all be trapped until the game was beaten. We'll... Die... If we die in game...? He stepped back, his eyes widening. The confidence that he could take every strike that went his way simply disappeared. What happens when I get hit by an attack too powerful to survive...? What happens when I'm the only one being attacked... The only one risking death!? Can I change roles now... Would I even know how to play a different role than the tank? Oh god... I'm going to die... Suddenly, he felt an impact and pain in his chest. His eyes widened in fear as he put his hand to his chest. Oh god... I'm going to feel my death, too!

Ryan looked around at all of the others around him... Why were they all afraid? Why were they all worried... Who was the one who stood at the front, taking the pain, taking the risk for them? None of them... That's the tank's job. He looked down at his armor, all of it too heavy to avoid hits in. This... this is real life now... How can I... I have to... I have to be the tank... No one else will stand in the front and block the hits for the others... No one else will take the risk... Will... Will I even take the risk? I could... Become a blacksmith... Protect people with armor...? He put his hand to his head, his eyes still wide with fear. No... No... Most people will think like that... If we all do that... None of us will ever escape... Ever... I have to fight... I have to... I have to be strong for once, in real life... "Oh god... this is going to be Hell..."

Ryan nodded to the others joining into the conversation, "I'm Ryan." He saw the invite appear and accepted before hearing someone talking about socks and monsters. Where the heck did he get all that from? He laughed somewhat as he looked to Cash. "Wow, I'm surprised you could tell we were talking about that, it's not something most people would talk about, so you would think that a lip-reading bystander would have thought us saying something else." He glanced to Faeron, smirking. "Right, we'll definitely have no issues with the first boss." He then turned his eyes to Karen, who seemed to have not realized they were invited to a group already before saying something. She seemed to figure it out though, and accept. "Heh, well we don't want to play on our own either, that's what the party's for." Based on the look of the Cash guy... He's the rogue or assassin... And this Raven person... Another speed-based damage...

Ryan hadn't realized before, but now noticed that he was interrupting others that had come to talk to her as well. Then she said she couldn't walk, even before he asked... He instantly felt bad for coming over just to ask about it considering the answer, and the first thing he thought he'd do was trying to make her feel better. "Really? You can't walk? I couldn't tell, considering how easily you destroyed that boar." He smirked, trying to make it seem like this was his intention from the start, "I actually wanted to team up and kill some boar for a little bit considering how well you handled that one."

Ryan then looked over to Faeron, offering his hand to her now as well. "The offer is to both of you, by the way. Games like this are always better with some friends!" He smiled, using his other hand to grab hold of his axe as a way of emphasizing its existence. "If you two are up for making a group, I'm... Basically DPS slash tank, in case either of you have played other MMOs before." He glanced to Karen, "based on your equipment, you look like you want speed and damage..." and then glanced to Faeron "and seems the same for you, so that means I'd be the one taking the damage from the enemy, but we'd all be able to do some great damage."

I guess I was confused by him accepting my app without pointing that out...

No worries, people miss things, I just wanted to catch this before it ended up any worse... And if my earlier post seemed any bit aggressive (looking back, it kind of did, to me) I'm very sorry about that, I didn't intend to seem aggressive
