The Ones Within: Utaite Version

Chapter 1: Meeting the Let's Players

"Good Morning, everyone. This is the start of the new school semester. Wwwww what a gloomy atmosphere it is here.", Retrodot commented.

"Anyway, we will start with self-introductions so you will get to know the people you will try to achieve this goal. We will start with you by the window. Please state your name and your game genre speciality. Please speak in a loud, clear and cheerful voice.", Retrodot said as the red-haired boy stood up and smiled brightly.

"Yes! My name is Sakata and my specialty is adventure games! It's nice to meet you.", Sakata introduced himself. "I was right... you are an idiot.", a brown-haired guy confirmed it.

"Hey! I'm not! At least I'm not as short as you!", he countered. "Oi!", the short boy shouted.

"Calm down guys.... you bickered since we've met... Anyways, my name is Senra. My specialty are puzzle and maze games. It's nice to meet you.", he introduced himself smiling slightly.

"Those two acted like an old married couple ever since we've arrived.", a purple-haired man informed them. "Oi!", both of them shouted.

"Wwwwww. I'm Shima. I like action games the most. Nice to meet ya!", he saluted in front of them before taking a seat again.

"I am Mafumafu. I like Jump 'n' Run Games as well as RPGs. I hope we can work together to achieve the 100 million views.", Mafumafu introduced himself smiling brightly like Sakata.

"Now then, could you introduce yourself again, Urata-sama?", Retrodot asked. "Tch... I'm Urata. I specialize in Stealth and Escape Games.", he introduced himself reluctantly.

"Good and for your information: Escaping this island is an impossible task no matter how many times you will try.

Do you understand, Urata-sama?", Retrodot looked at Urata who looked outside and Urata just clicked his tongue before looking into his eyes.

"When it comes to escape games and stealth I don't restrict myself to just games.", he said but Retrodot still understood.

"What do you mean with that, Ura-san?", Sakata asked. "You won't understand even if I'll explain it to you. Because you're an idiot.", Urata said as if that was a fact. "Meanie!", Sakata pouted but Urata turned his attention to the outside again.

He muttered something under his breath probably cursing Retrodot. "A-anyway, I am Amatsuki and I specialize in Nurturing Games. Hope we can get along.", he introduced himself.

"Ah! Ama-chan! I'm here as well!", someone raised their voice and Amatsuki turned his attention to them. "My name is Kashitaro and I mostly play Sengoku Games.", he introduced himself.

"Kashi?", Amatsuki asked unsure but Kashitaro nodded in confirmation. "That's me! We played some online games together. Do you remember me?", he asked Amatsuki.

"I do. So you were kidnapped as well?", Amatsuki asked. "Yep! We should use that opportunity and do a video together.", Kashitaro said pulling Amatsuki to the exit already.

"H-hey!", Amatsuki weakly defended himself before Retrodot stopped them. "It's nice that you are having fun but we still have to finish the self-introductions.", Retrodot reminded them.

Soraru looked at him briefly and sighed before introducing himself shortly.

"I'm Soraru. I mostly play mystery games. A question. What is that?", Soraru asked pointing toward a vase with a flower in it. "That will be necessary for the next level. Please do not worry about it for now.", Retrodot answered.

"I wanted to ask a question!", Sakata raised his hand. "What is it, Sakata-sama?", Retrodot asked. "What will happen when we reach 100 million views? What is the purpose of this?", Sakata asked. "That's why you're an idiot...", Urata muttered but Sakata still heard him.
