[Entrance Exam] Week One

It would seem that it will be... some time before you're released. Two weeks. That may sound like forever, in this situation. But you aren't left with nothing to do. The Administrator has been kind enough to update the Tasks application on your tablet. There are also now several different tasks that you can accept. Who knows... you might get something good out of it. It's worth checking out at least. There are also several other new applications you can toy with, too.

And you won't go hungry. The staff is here to prepare meals three times a day. Breakfast is served from 6AM-8AM, lunch from 11PM-1PM, and dinner from 5PM-7PM. You'd best make sure you're in the cafeteria in time for those meals, because they won't be waiting around all day for you. They have lives, too. Unfortunately, you won't really be able to ask them about any of that. The serving area is separated by a glass wall, through which they serve you. Even if you try asking-- it would seem they have been told not to answer.

The rest... well. You may just have to see for yourself. At least you're not alone.

[??? That's a pretty surprising thing to have shouted across the room at him, but he'll volunteer some clarification.]

No casting for me, my main's a tank!
tiehard: (Oh god I forgot about that part)

[personal profile] tiehard 2018-05-22 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
What is a 'main' and a 'tank?' There is so much context I am missing here.
starswink: (neutral)

[personal profile] starswink 2018-05-22 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... A main is the character I usually play, and a tank means any class wearing heavy armor and fighting at the front of the party so the monster has to get through your defenses before it touches the wizard or the healer.

[After this straight faced explanation, Yoosung chuckles and sums up with less jargon,]

I thought you were asking about roles in a game. I mean, no one's a wizard in real life, right?
tiehard: OH NO? (i don't know what to do)

[personal profile] tiehard 2018-05-22 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
Ohhhh, have I got news for you.

[he throws out his arms to motion at everyone]

A solid 50% of these people are wizards! Note, math is not my strong suit!
starswink: (surprise)

[personal profile] starswink 2018-05-22 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
You mean it's not just pretend?

[There is a distinct nervous edge to that first question, like he may have already met one of these wizards, and it is suddenly more concerning. But then, he does have some genuine bright-eyed curiosity over this, what a time to be a muggle.]

... Did anyone show you their magic?
tiehard: made by <lj user=deathblade> (I am detective right-all-the-time)

[personal profile] tiehard 2018-05-23 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Nope.

But I want to believe. Doesn't this seem like it's straight out of some sort of wacky shenanigans novel?
starswink: (neutral)

[personal profile] starswink 2018-05-23 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
I-I don't read a lot of fiction...

[Which is probably surprising coming from an escapist like him, but he prefers the movie versions.]
supportrole: (and boys i got it)

[ Casually jumping into this conversation from the next table over! ]

It's pretty cool that you're getting this recognition for that! I feel like the ADC types usually end up hogging the spotlight, you know?
starswink: (stars)

[personal profile] starswink 2018-05-22 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
God, so true! But actually, my LOLOL server has a system for ranking players on it, and I'm #2.

...But I take the game way more seriously than the #1 player! And I'm in the best guild. I help newbies and stuff, too.

[HE DESERVES TO BE HERE MORE!! Even if he does not actually want to. Well, getting recognized for his favorite hobby is still tickling him.]
supportrole: (spreadin' it around)

[personal profile] supportrole 2018-05-22 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
It's so annoying! You can totally tell when someone is in it for the glory rather than for the actual game.

[ He gets through one more spoonful of soup before he starts again. ]

And it's like they don't even realize that the only reason they get that far is because their support is setting up all these prime opportunities for them and saving their butts from the dangerous situations they keep throwing themselves into.

[ dramatic re-enactment ]
starswink: (big smile)

[personal profile] starswink 2018-05-23 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Well, the good thing about jerks like that is it's that much more satisfying to beat them in PVP. [Yoosung puffs up a bit, hoping that sounded like cool gamer prospect wisdom.

And then immediately ruins it with more whining.]


It's already been a whole day. I wish we could play... I can tell you'd be fun to team up with!
