A bright FLASH later...
It's marbled bearings now the backdrop of a memory not to be forgotten, De Ordine Imperii became the last bastion for those who stayed in YGGDRASIL till the end. As ReidyForPleasure the Informant gazed upon the parchment in his hands, a digital representation of the screenshot sent to his account email, a wave of unfarmiliar melancholy washed over him like a dessert breeze. They looked like the cover art of some novel, a ragtag band who become Heroes not to be immortalized in pastel and oils. A force for good, certainly. What with RuiInRed and her angelic visage, blinding light radiating from her wings. A patron ...or even a Guardian of the Heroes who must embark on some world shattering quest, an otherworldly ally who guides them in times of need with divine intervention and healing. The cleric of the party persay, though Reidy knew better what she was capable of though. Healing is NOT her speciality, especially after having seen her fight whole swathes of unholy beings. He liked that she was a creative sort too, Lake Holy Water still stands to this day. The job of gathering all that silver dust to make it though? Not fun. Not at all. He imagined to layman eyes, despite being in completely different guilds, she seemed most affiliated to the knightlike character she hovered over.
Greyedout, as he stood there, sword planted and adorning his most valuable armours. He seemed like the kind who would face danger in that very same pose, come wind or high water that his lips would never tilt up to a smile nor down to a frown. Reliable? Perhaps there was a better word. A Paladin true and true, if there was one thing about roleplayers it was that their personalities are never far from their capabilities. You could always exploit their compulsions to stay in character for better ...or worse, Reidy always prefered to do it for better. GreyedOut was somewhat sympathetic to the Heteromorphic race, sure he had no tolerance of PVPers who lashed out against Humans but he did not condone the camp spawning of new players either. Reidy could get coordinates of 'Monster Hunters' from him, sadly even if some were of his guild. Though Reidy prefered not to fight, he had seen him heal wounds plenty of times even as the defender of the party, Paladins had the ability to heal quickly in the middle of combat and though their medical potencies were far from those of Clerics, Druids or Physicians. A good healer was one that kept himself alive to continue helping others, that was the mantra of the most skilled medicants in YGGDRASIL. Though it prompted Reidy to question, could GreyedOut ressurect others? He had never seen the Paladin bring others back to life before. Did he not know the quest chain to learn the Paladin version of the skill? Ah ...if telling him that now ....would it still serve a purpose?
Then his eyes glanced over to the edge of the photograph.
Billster stood beside GreyedOut, the war mage was most well known for his behaviour. Second only to Pain. Red fabric flowed along his armor, a visible contrast between the jobs he picked. They got along strangely well despite Billster's sometimes awkward speech, perhaps because they shared similar roles within a party from wielding both magic and might - it did not take many words to communicate with someone who walks in one of your shoes. Reidy liked to pick on him for his excercise puns, often replying to his 'Do you even lift?" jokes with 'Nah. I'm naturally like this.'. Likely an outcome of hanging around Painful Manfulness who was not suprisingly, playing a warrior with a very campy avatar. If toxic masculinity had a face, it would be one of Painful's screaming expressions. Reidy was sure the guy played in some sort athelete's center, most likely while at work as he would always hear some loud crashing of metallic objects when Painful turned on voicechat. That, or an asylum. The idea was most amusing. The occasional screams of blue murder did nothing to allay his suspicions though. He would miss those days of scaring Painful by making it seem like someone was about to catch him for playing at work, ah the wonders of voice recording.
...And finally, Reidy looked at an Indiana Jones wannabe character posed for battle like the others. They each took a stance that best represented them and Reidy's stance was a shady one. A broad shouldered, coated man whose face grimaced under the shadows of his brimmed hat. Sturdy fingers now clawed from his racial abilities, tracing violet arcane sigils over a large, savage looking sword as his scowl scanned his opponents for ripe flesh to plant the weapon deep into. Truth be told, Reidy did not know how to evaluate himself. He always did what he thought was best, not only for himself but for others he considered allies as well. He kept the humble guise of a cheery persona while plundering the darkest secrets YGGDRASIL, it was nice to be able to use the skills he had to learn in real life here for something other tha---Reidy's player stifled his musings: He was not going to see the end of YGGDRASIL with thoughts of IRL.
He let out that melancholy in a sighing breath and looked up away from the photograph as he slid it back into an inventory slot, his avatar moved to seat himself on one of the velvet chairs of De Ordine's round table. Ruin's mention of fireworks had him tossing her a bomblike object into her hands, Dragon's Breath. It sizzled. She asked for fireworks didn't she? That's one of the biggest ones around, usually used for blinding and distraction. Reidy was known to be a bit of an item hoarder and now, a prankster ...or maybe soon - 'he who wears rusty cleavers.' Oh well. Looking sideways, he could see the bold letters counting down.

"It's been a trip guys, I'll not forget this."
Hikaruko_Saves_The_World prepared to close his eyes for twenty seconds in the real world, reluctantly, it is his command for logging out of the system afterall. Though it would not make it in time to log him out before the game server crashed ~ He still did not want the shutdown screen's bright, seizure inducing colours to be his transition from YGGDRASIL.
"Ever."
