Pulling the girl up, the girl stumbled into Umichi. Being so close to her, he could feel like she felt so fragile. However, in a game, that could be quite deceptive, since she could go for a strength build if she chose to. Nonetheless, being so close to her, he blushed, ever so slightly. As she stepped back, he noticed her blush a little as well. Her name was Suki. She spoke about teaming up with the two of them.
Two? he thought.
Turning to the side, he noticed there was another guy, plus someone walking behind him coming around. Suki continued to speak,
"Then I guess it's a good thing that there aren't any lions nearby, isn't it? And have you actually thought that maybe Kayaba doesn't even know what's happened?" She then swallow, followed by a sigh.
"I'm Suki. I guess all of us teaming up would be good"Then one of the guys spoke up,
"I guess we're a party, then? If you guys-" He then motioned towards Suki courteously,
"-And girl, want, then I can lead the way. I was a beta tester, and know a bit about the area." Umichi was unable to catch a name at all in that. He mentally sighed. As he was about to speak, the other person came spoke up.
"So that means you know things about the game that we don't know about. My friends explained to to me that you had to either 'grind' or quest to get experience to level up. If that's the way we get stronger here, then I'm all for it... but first, we need to form an actual party, don't we? Lets see if I can remember what they told me... also, we should also friend each other just in case we get cut off and may need anothers assistance. Since you know more about this place than us, you should be the one to lead for now... Also, I only caught Sukis name, mind giving me yours beta-tester guy, and yours too black-haired guy? We need to begin our journey postehaste, otherwise we might not be able to escape."
"Well..." Umichi was just about to speak, when the person who came in at the end spoke up again.
"Also, beta-tester guy, don't do anything reckless. Same goes for you two, unless it is completely necessary and you know you can live through it... and please explain everything we need to know while were moving please as we need all the help we can get... Heh, funny how this is the first game I play in my life and its a life or death one. The irony stings me so brutally, but not as in a volatile manner as others who are sadly drowning under this information by the creator... erm, anyways, names please!"
Taking in a deep breath, Umichi calmed himself down. It was a little irritating, having people speak before getting a chance to.
"As I was about to say, you should know, it is rude to ask for another's name before introducing yourself. The name's Umichi. Yoroshiku. Anyway, um... sorry, beta-guy, but I don't think you introduced yourself either, so I got no name at the moment. If you want to lead, go ahead." Umichi could feel some tension. The beta-tester seems like he was annoyed about being ignored earlier, and Suki seemed a little hostile as well. Maybe he had a bad choice of words, or was it the contact from before. Either way, he realized he's personal training was lacking, and wondered how he would continue it appropriately.
"I think we should start heading out though. There's bound to be a rush of people to train in the nearby fields. Also, about what you said about Kayaba ..." Umichi turned to Suki.
"You pose an interesting question. Can I ask why you thought that might be the case?" He was curious as to what she was thinking. The different points of view of the situation, and hers was a curious one.
While waiting for a reply, he added her to his friend's list and waited for a party request from the beta tester, whom he assumed would create and lead the party.
"So, what's the best route to take?" Umichi asked.
