Tyler shook his head, "No,"
I crossed my arms, "And why not?!"
"Its way to risky! You could-" I interrupted him and stood up, "-get hurt?!"
"Or worse! Dead!" He stood up abruptly and slammed his hands on the table, startling me with the sudden hight difference, "You could get stuck and we wouldn't know what happened! For all we know, if you got stuck while the game finished you could still stay here."
I tried to hold myself up, not letting him take over and intimidate me, "Then we just have to try," we stared at eachother in intense silence. We could hear the traffic outside our base, "Ehem~" Nogla broke the silence, "What was it you were wanting to tell us earlier?"

Tyler and I never broke eye contact as I nonchalantly broke the ice about Dixon, "They were behind the attack on Del and Ohm." Tyler's eyes softened at my statement, making it easier for me to look away and back at the others, "Dixon and his men are trying to eliminate you guys. Including me now."
Lui findled with his fingers, turning off his squeaker voice, "Why would a NPC be directly attacking another player when it isnt part of the campaign?"
Tyler's gaze fell from me as he sat down, the chair giving a life-like squeak, "Who says he is an actual NPC?"
"Its not Dixon who isn't an NPC," I sat back in my seat, "Its his head officers, while we were escaping I noticed that EVERYBODY who was ordering the others were normal players."

Nogla scratched his beard, something that had to be a habit seeing as how I havent felt a single itch, "So we have to start looking out for players?"
"We should have a long time ago, that crazy lunatic from their base told me he wanted to stay!"
"So that's their plan?" Lui asked more to himself, only to answer straight away, "To destroy the main chance to get out... You know what that tells us though?" Delirious nodded, "We are the farthest ones from beating the game,"
"So we are a threat," Lui finished.
I sighed and nodded, "Hence why they came after me and Ohmie," the nickname sent a wave of redness over his face. The mention if our near-death experience sent shivers down my spine. Evan crossed his arms, standing up to leave the room, "So we need to be careful, meeting over," he exited the room before any of us could say anything.

I sighed and pushed in my chair, rubbing my eyes, "Dont worry Blue, you will be fine," Lui reasured me, his hand resting on my shoulder.
"I am not the one that I am worried about, I'm worried for you guys. We got one of the top after us..." Lui sighed and squeezed my shoulder, "I got shit they can't handle," he brought the mic to his mouth, "watch this kid kick ass,"
I couldn't help but giggle as I stood up, walkimg out with Lui whos arm was around my shoulders.

~a week later~
I walked down the silent hallway, passing small plants that never needed watering. I quickly knocked on one of the doors, Tyler letting me inside. "Better be what I asked fooor~"
I rolled my eyes, "Dont be an aaaasss~"
He looked up from his screen, "It may be a digital world but you still need the skills of order taking." I grit my teeth and slapped down a flavorless soda that brought up your health by 2 points, it sported a bright orange cover that had green letters screaming "SQUIRT!"

"A squirt, just as you asked," the condensation that dripped down the can looked all too real. "My straw?" He looked at me unamused, one hand on his keyboard and the other holding his knee, "Blue?" I crossed my arms, "I need help coading, not being a waitress,"
"So I take that the straw is a nope?"
I sighed and rolled my eyes hard enough that I thought I saw the 0's and 1's. "Are you sure that you didnt access the ability of mind reading?"
He shrugged, "Then no coading classes,"
"Tyler there are literally straws right there!" I said, pointing at the paper wrapping on the desk. He shook hid head, "You didn't take my simple instructions, try again next time."
I growled, "Fuck off Tyler," I left the room, making sure to slam the door hard enough to lower its strength percentage.

Tyler's Door Strength went from 50 lvl. Protection to a weak 23 lvl. Protection

Panda was leaving his room as I did so, "Holy Shit, what did the door do to you?"
"Tyler," I said, fuming with anger.
He sucked on his teeth, "Turn you down again?"
"Why is he being such a fucking hard ass?! Ever since the last meeting he has been a dick!"
Anthony shrugged and walked with me down the stairs, "Maybe he is just worried about you, you guys got into it the other day."
I crossed my arms, "That doesn't explain why he wont teach me some coading! If anything he should teach me it if he is so worried, it would probably help me understand my blips!"
He raised an eyebrow, "Blips?"
I pointed at the bottom stair that I skipped over, "Blip," I reared my foot back and kicked it as hard as possible, my foot going through. "I gave my condition a name."
He nodded, "Some would say thats unhealthy."
I shrugged, "I say creative."
