[SwordieGuy19:

Hello, Discourse! Please don't mind the dust, guys. It's still a work-in-progress.]

[AirsoftKid has entered the server]

[AirsoftKid:

You do realize that this is just a regular chatroom on Discourse, right? It's not like we see ourselves walking around and fight monsters.]

[SwordieGuy19:

Ever heard of an epic introduction, Jacobs? It's better if the welcome guy introduces the guests in style if this is a public server. Besides, this is my first time heading my server here, so keep your sarcasm on low, will ya?]

[BusyAsHeck:

Hey guys. I got your invite.]

[SwordieGuy19:

And look who showed up for the party! The ever famous and highly indecisive Hayate Palmer! Woo-hoo!]

[BusyAsHeck:

Is that your way of introducing yourself to every girl you meet, Osborne? If it is, then I, for one, am not very impressed.]

[SwordieGuy19:

Hey, give me a break, Palmer! I'm just lightening the mood here. Besides, this is not only a great place for us to discuss any topics, it’s also a good place to hang out when we're not allowed to meet up in person for some reason like rain or curfew.]

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

[AirsoftKid:

Well, we have good reasons for not being able to meet up, so it's actually a good idea to open a private server in this Discourse chat application thing, I think. As long we stick to topics, then I'm okay with this.]

[SwordieGuy19:

Glad to hear, Damon! I worked hard setting this entire thing up and preparing everything.]

[BusyAsHeck:

Is there anything to prepare anyway? It's just a chat app and you can't exactly fight and walk around like in . Then again, you’ve always had that habit of acting like a big shot despite your inability to name this server more appropriately.]

[SwordieGuy19:

I could say the same for your name, Palmer. I mean, "BusyAsHeck"? Just what kind of Discourse name is that? Could try a different name other than that?]

[BusyAsHeck:

Different? It doesn’t sound offensive. Plus, I'm only using this server in Discourse just to chat with you guys.]

[SwordieGuy19:

At least try another name other than that? I'm just saying for your own good. People might get the wrong idea about you even it sounds like a joke.]

[AirsoftKid:

Hey, hey, hey! Before this quarrel escalates into a full-blown online fight, can we move on to our first discussion for the night?]

[BusyAsHeck:

Damon's right. What should we discuss first? The midterms will end Saturday, so we have to avoid any game-related topics for tonight.]

[SwordieGuy19:

To be honest, I have no idea. I just set this server up and that's it. No clue what our first topic will be right now. Plus, Palmer’s brother is still banned from playing the game until his exams are complete.]

[AirsoftKid:

Seriously? You told us that this would be our hub for discussing the game and other stuff going on in our lives and yet, you have no clue of what we're going to talk about first.]

[SwordieGuy19:

Hey, give me a break! I created this channel to organize our chats through related topics, and I just go along with what you guys are discussing right now.]

[AirsoftKid:

Well, to be honest, I'm not supposed to be on any social media right now. You know I'm still studying here.]

[BusyAsHeck:

Same here. I'm practically buried in books on my desk tonight.

But tell you what, we should try to meet here again after the exams. That way, we can discuss what are we're going to tackle for the weekend. However, let’s meet up at our usual hangout ice cream parlor first at the end of the last exam day.]

[SwordieGuy19:

That's true. I better log out for now anyways before my mom catches me on here. Otherwise, she might ban me from using my electronics for a week. Maybe two.]

[AirsoftKid:

Alright. I'll see you two in school tomorrow.]

[SwordieGuy19:

Right, good night, guys!]

[BusyAsHeck:

Night.]
