[Guy Crimson]"Wait... What happened?" I asked in confusion looking around at the confused looks of my friends.

[Guy Crimson]"Did the shutdown get delayed... why weren't we informed?" I asked bewildered at the situation.

It was only now I realized everyone was staring at me with wide eyes and mouths agape, catching on to what they are so interested in startled me.

[Guy Crimson]"I AM TALKING, HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!!" I shouted with some fear lacing my voice, whatever was happening was pretty scary from our point of view.

[Testarossa]"Were we transported?... everything feels like real life, " she said pinching her arm, recoiling after feeling the pain.

[Diablo]"W-We need to check the continent for intruders, there could be other players here, and if this is all really real we have to secure our own safety," he said, his voice slightly betraying him with some cracks of nervousness.

[Carrera]"I-I-I will n-never see my f-father again..." she said with tears dripping down her face, all of us feel bad for her, she is the only one out of all of us that still has a parent, a parent she may never see again.

[Rain]"Brother... what do we do now?" as she said that they all looked at me, even though all of us made our own choices they all looked to me when group choices were made, I think this was because I was the eldest in the group.

[Guy Crimson]"I say we should follow... Ma- Diablo's decision? Also, how should we refer to each other... by our real names or these characters?" I asked, it could end up confusing mixing the names up at least if it's established early there will be fewer mix-ups.

[Misery]"I-I say we should refer to each other as these characters, we seem to have become them in their entirety like even now I feel leagues stronger than before... I just feel generally more healthy, " she says making a valid point.

[Everyone]"Agreed!" we all said simultaneously.

[Ultima]"I-I will take Carrera to another room to allow her to cool off, " she says leading Carrera out of the room presumably to an adjacent room.

[Guy Crimson]"I think Diablo's idea is the most sound for the moment, we have no idea if this is YGGDRASIL or something completely foreign. For precautions take a World Item that suits your build before searching outside. When we know it's safe in the area around the palace, training and using spells should be the priority, we need to be able to defend ourselves, " I said to see everyone collectively nod their head in agreement.

[Guy Crimson]"Our best defense is all of us staying together, if there are other players or something more dangerous, staying with each other will keep us here among friends, " again everyone nods at my exclamation.

Over the next few days, it has been a very emotional time for some like Carrera who has not taken kindly to being transported. She shut herself in one of the many rooms available to us, I have seen her once since what we dubbed "The Anomaly", may sound stupid but here we are. Carrera when I saw her last had bright puffy red eyes, I imagine she had been crying herself to sleep.

Some of us have been unaffected and are thriving in this new environment like Testarossa and Rain, they are the ones who have ventured further than the rest of us.
