The next morning found the Seven in the dining room, confused over what was happening to them and why things were different from what it should be. Still many of them were happy about the changes that had occurred as it meant that they could sustain themselves while in game now too instead of just pretending to enjoy the food to not hurt the hardworking chef's heart. It was still far too early to say anything else about the whole deal and they decided to keep it under the wraps.

They had their regular meetings during which they started to converse what changes had occurred to them. Cecilia's cloud flame turned out to be similar to the ones that the arcobaleno Skull had, healing her constantly. She'd uncovered this during a mission she had decided to take and to put it shortly, she hadn't anticipated the rain happening and causing her hit to turn into her falling off of the roof she was perching on with her trusty rifle and its flame induced bullet, fire a lucky shot that surprisingly enough hit the target before she landed onto her wrist.

She did go to the first available trustworthy doctor that they had hired (a young and somewhat naive fresh out of school man with latent sun flames), who deemed her wrist to be broken only to stop abruptly in middle of this declaration as he felt how the broken bones to grow back together into the position they ought to be. The tiny assassin really had a weird relationship with luck.

Then there had been Casarien, the sun officer, who had noticed soon that his flames actually melted any kind of iron that he held in his hands for too long when he was going through strong emotions. He had assumed that each sun would be stuck with healing properties, as he'd witnessed so multiple times, but now, he was apparently a war sun or something as weirdly named.

Similar changes had happened in all of them starting from odd new abilities or something else being added to their beings, their usual ability of getting invisible subtitle boxes to help them to understand new languages had turned into a feature that somehow enabled them to be able to actually understand and be able to use the foreign languages without the box, heck for the most part the box now only showed up words that had other meanings to them, somewhat similar to having the right page open from a dictionary. And certain abilities seemed to have transferred to the real world too.

The update log showed that there truly had been an update on the day that the spike happened and that explained the changes in the quality of what they saw, but the very same update also came with a feature to be able to communicate and do transactions via mobile phone, something hadn't been working well before. They could also link their surbonidates to the phones and make sure that everything was going well on their missions and within the HQ.

As the leading force of the Paravento, the Seven had their cellphones to be connected to Natalia's device, a fact that made her very happy for a reason or another. Since the Famiglia had a pyramid like power divination, each officer overlooked six under officers, who over looked their own set of six, each troup creating their own report which was then added to the file of the overseeing person, who created a report of their own, while they included the original reports of the previous employees, until they reached the highest officers. The highest officers then made two reports, one based on the information that their underlings had provided them with, and one that included their potential own missions. Those reports then made their way to the Don, who approved the suggestions he deemed to be beneficial to the Famiglia, disapproved ones that seemed to either hold the family back or harmed it and its image. He also often called the Officers for a meeting where he'd gather the thoughts of everyone regarding some of the potential decisions though sometimes they had to talk about potentially kicking a member out.

It was very rare for the people to cause so much harm to the group as a whole that he, she or they had to be disposed off and that was when they'd call in the eighth officer for voting.
