9:00pm
Square Central slightly resembles the Shibuya crossing in Tokyo; there are many nicely lit neon skyscrapers as the night begins to bloom; it is decorated for the event.
Rin lands, stands up, and notices Toki isn't with him, he econds later he gets noticed and gets stared at by multiple people as if his name were legend.
They notice his guild tag and name.
They mutter.
Rin let go of Toki about 200 feet in the air on the descent unknowingly due to excitement.
Toki, dizzy from the whole flight falls, smacks the ground, doesn't perfect land, and loses 250 points of hp.
Rin nervously notices he made a mistake
Rin: Uh, Toki...I..umm..I; Is it too late for a sorry, heh?
Toki gets up almost demonic like with hate in her eyes; her eyes switch to resemble slits; she walks up to Rin then knocks him hard on the head.
Toki: YOU IDIOT!!! At least let me know you were gonna pull off that whole stunt from beginning to end! Also you know the window for perfect landing is small plus I was dizzy from the flight, but man Square Central looks nice as ever.
Everyone watching gets a drop of sweat behind their heads.
Rin loses 150 points of health.
Rin(Holding head in pain and looks around) OW! Sorry Toki, I was just worked up, I swear...Hmm. Yeah, Square Central does look nicer than usual, that's how "Square" usually is; they still care about the game.
Toki gets up to look around at the setting, she notices people gathering and staring at them.
Toki(Whispering): Say, why are these guys staring and "yooing" at us?
Rin(Whispers while rubbing head): I guess it has something to do with our guild as a whole being the 2nd to beat the game and something about our very hard path road, or at least that's what I've overheard...this is some reception though, even for being 2nd though, it almost doesn't seem real....being cheered by this many people when I'm nothing like this irl..tch-
Toki(Cheerful and places hand on Rin's head): Aww, don't let the fame get to you like that also, please don't make unrealistic comparisons like that, we earned this title didn't we? You're still a hero to some of these people after all and a hero to me most importantly, here I'll heal us.
Rin(Grins): Thank you Toki, you're really an amazing friend to have around, Shall we get a spot to watch the announcement? We don't want a bad view do we?
Toki(Nods no slowly then grabs his hand): Uh no buutt...c'mon let's explore, we have 25 minutes to spare, I promise it'll be quick.
They explore some of the stores and it's exotic items and goods, they take silly photos all through some of the city, and Rin buys Toki a beast cat keychain at a kiosk, Toki loves and admires it and puts the keychain on her sword. After that they head back to the media area of Square Central with 5 minutes left. (Resembles monstercat.)
Rin(Looking for a spot): Wow, even the air space is tight to fly around through.
Toki(Also looking): Don't worry, we'll find a good spot soon.
Rin(Pointing): There! Let's go.
Mid level player: Hey man stop shoving, if you didn't get here earlier that's your problem man like... Oh..my god! You two, you're f-from the Celestial guild right?! U-uh..um here's a big enough spot about a few feet to the left of me! Uh big fan by the way (Talks about all their various achievements and big battles) (Bowing) I also know this is sudden and you don't know who I am but....may I join your party please?! I really want to know how improve hand to hand combat and learn how to wield dual swords like you, sir!
Rin(Awkward laugh): Haha, you know us a lot better than we do, thank you but please you don't have to be all formal. Umm our party is 5/5 and we haven't recruited in about 4 years so there's that haha. Not sure Akira would be happy either now that I think about it.
Mid level player(Glass shattering background)(Lowers head in sadness): Oh...right haha I got carried away, sorry...uh enjoy the presentation.
Rin(Places hand on his shoulder): Look, dude, I am not saying you are a bad player by any means; I want everyone to be the best possible, plus it's actually very bold of you to request to join, maybe if we meet in the next game I'll consider. We just don't want more especially this late in the game's life you know, just have integrity man there's no need to beat yourself up, just be happy and listen to what I just told you. We thank you for giving us a spot to watch the presentation.
Mid level player(Raising head up with slight grin): You really mean it too, thanks for listening to me.
Rin(Smiling with eyes closed): No problem!
They fist bump.
Toki: Are you seriously considering new recruits? Sure more depth is good, but we have good bonds with each other, then I feel Akira would give him flak on the field as well and I honestly don't feel like teaching more at this point either.
Rin: We'll see, he seemed genuine. Anyway the presentation starts in 20 seconds, any predictions?
Toki: Nope, I just hope the waiting was worth it.
Rin: Can you imagine if they announced just to delay the game more and this decoration was a ploy to make us feel like something big was gonna happen?
Toki(Punches Rin in the arm): Knowing Square, they would pull a stunt like that, that's a horrible thing to say and jinx.
Rin(Pain) Ow! You punch so hard that if the game felt any more real my pain receptors would fire.
Toki(Grinning): Shhh, the presentation is starting.
Rin: Hmph...
