Jason was trying to get some homework done, when Najimi an energetic ginger-haired kid he befriended a few days ago started to pester him. It was about a new game that was going to come out.
That game was of course, Worlds of wonder the VRMMO that would soon take the world in storm, and it had just been recently announced. Jason had around a week left before it was released, during his little preparation time, he had already pre-ordered the capsules and had already invested all the money he, Perseus, and Arjuna made. The two got their money with their model work and Jason by helping the tall cats in winning a few tournaments. Currently Jason was completely broke and everything was pumped into the investment of the MH company the company behind the game WOW.
But Jason could endure Najimi sticking his face into everything including his homework, after all it would be completely worth it if he brought him to his side, he had made a few other friends besides Jones, Najimi, and the tall cats. But they were not very close and they didn't hang out as often as the first group mentioned before.
Najimi was a friendly person who had the natural trait of being friendly. He gave off an aura that would make you comfortable and make you want to expose your most base self in front of. When he talked he made people want to be his friend. But he was also the most chaotic person Jason had ever seen, sometimes be an absolute brat like now.
It was because of him that Jones and the tall cats were able to get along so well the moment they met.
Jason didn't really do much to become his friend. They just talked and hit it off and Jason didn't even need to look at his status to know he had an innate talent that had to do with his ability to make friends.
As the two went to lunch, they met Jones on the way who Najimi had also badgered. He jumped up in front of Jones and started to chatter quickly

"Hey hey hey Jones you know about the knew game that's coming out?! The one that's VR and promises total body sensations, including smell, touch, and even taste will be transmitted."
Jones lazily replied
"oh yes I have heard of that, but I think it's just a lie"
Najimi threw back his head
"awwww come on its by the MH company, they have some really smart people in there. I'm sure they can invent everything."
'it's not the scientist and developers in the MH company, it's the AI who developed it'
Jason secretly thought
Najimi turned around to Jason and addressed him
"anyways we should take this to the cats, after all, they are the experts, right Jason?"
Jason who was suddenly included into the conversation replied while slightly stuttering.
"uh, yes we should talk to them."
Najimi clasped Jason's back and said in a cheerful tone
"aww Jason your so serious and quiet all the time, you should liven up some times!!"
Najimi jumped around when he was talking sometimes he appeared in the middle of Jones and Jason and other times he would be walking next to one of them. But when Najimi was around everything was lively and there were sometimes when Jason let of a grin and laughed a bit.
They had reached the cafeteria and got their food. Masuda, Mika, Aiden, Gabriel, and Luna were waving them over. The food was again a tuna sandwich and miso soup.
Everyone dug in and it was just eating noises for the first 5 minutes. Even Najimi knew better than to intrude on this group's precious eating time. When they had finished eating everyone started to talk again like normal.
The first topic was the new game and Jason was waiting for a way to get them all to consider playing.
Najimi started talking about how great the game was going to be and how it would be world-changing while Jones refuted what he said along with Masuda and Aiden.
Masuda kept on saying how it was impossible for tech like that to come out with out grabbing everyone's attention beforehand.
"and even if it did"
he continued
"shouldn't they use it for better things then just a game?"
The group started to get into a heavy conversation but Najimi was able to divert their conversation to if they were going to play the game.
Luna thought and said "well I think its good if we all try it, just to see if it's worth it. If it is worth it we should try and focus on WOW and make it our main game."
Jason sighed to himself in relief
'oh thank god I don't have to say anything anymore.'
Najimi suddenly got hit by a sudden realization and shouted "Wait Luna you aren't going to name the guild Tall Cats right !?"
Luna frowned "I don't see anything wrong with it?"
Everyone simultaneously sighed as they thought of waving a giant flag in the game with a tall cat on it.
