Rainer watched as the 'Messenger of Gaia' disappeared before staring in awe as the world started to crack and shatter around them, placing them back in a mall filled with lights and people. At this point everyone, including the new girl, Sasha, appeared keen to find out more about their situation. Rainer, however, couldn't help but rub his eyes. The entire affair was confusing and, for the most part, they were left with more questions than answers. He felt that such a thing needed to be pointed out.

[b]"I don't know about you guys, but maybe we should approach this with a level of caution..."[/b] he said, addressing the other Gamers equally, [b]"I mean, we got pretty lucky with those creatures. If I were in an actual video game, taking on higher level opponents mostly unarmed seems pretty risky, not to mention we don't know what kind of 'game' we're playing."[/b] he said, making the obligatory rabbit ear quote marks with his fingers as he said 'game'.
[b]"I mean, is this PvP? Co-Op? Are we playing a Final Fantasy game centered around an adventuring party or are we in a Halo-style Deathmatch? Whoever this other Gamer is, he's been around longer and knows more. This isn't a Level 4 AI Imp NPC we're talking about, this is another Gamer! I don't know about you guys, but I've been unlocking 'Skills' whenever I do certain actions, how do we know this guy isn't unlocking new Skills by defeating or even killing other Gamers?"[/b]

Rainer stopped for a moment, looking up at the mall ceiling, linking his hands behind his head and sighing. [b]"I'm all for finding this other Gamer and getting some answers, but I just want to make sure we're smart about it and prepared for things if they go south."[/b]
