Hey everyone. Merry Christmas. Happy New Year. After being heart broken, nearly losing my job, and almost dying in a propane related accident, I'm trying to make 2021 a recovery year. Time to hit it off right. 

We got someone Miku can relate to for a bit and help her with her growing confidence. 

Enjoy.

Merry Christmas. This is on Christmas Eve instead of my New Year's Day drop. Enjoy people.

The beauty of MMOs is a number of reasons. It goes more than just gaming. The story that someone invested hundreds or maybe even thousands of hours into. The weaponry whether it is any firearm to a slingshot to a various amount of melee or range weapons old or modern. Maybe even magic. Creativity is one of the best features of the human brain. 

What also is the magic part of it, is the fact that you don't know who around you is a player. Someone that plays a popular MMO is right around someone's school or office. Then some of different tastes such as your Dungeons and Dragons or Middle Ages types can be around too. Only difference is you may or may not know it.

There are some that don't make it out in the open as it may seem. There are kids that love it, teenagers that skip school on release day, and some that dream of competing for earnings. Then others are casuals, in spare time, and others where you wouldn't call them an otaku at all. Or in fact a gamer. Someone in a suit can enjoy a Saturday to a glass of wine until 3 AM and sleep Sunday to recover for a full week Monday.

It does happen. And more than what people may think. Though when MMOs have guilds, conversation can go freely at times. There is always the stay online versus IRL, but too a point there is that barrier for some of not caring.

Though for everyone, encounters are different. Not all gamers are outgoing or shy. There is plenty of different blends. Although, sometimes you just don't know it until that moment arrives.

This was right at the final bell. School was out, clubs were starting, and teams gathering together. A teenage boy at school was getting a matcha tea from a vending machine. A girl with pink hair was waiting behind him. He put in a coin and got himself a cold can of matcha.

Remember, the sisters all have the same color hair in canon. The series has it different to help tell them apart.

"Excuse me." He said stepping aside so she can have her turn. Doing his best to be polite.

She put in a coin and pushed what she wanted. "Dang. Out of stock."

"Wasn't matcha was it?" He asked.

"Unfortunately."

"Here." He offered over the can of matcha. "Don't worry. I don't need the 200 HP."

"You sure?" She asked hesitantly. Blushing and all. It was rather adorable.

"Do I look poisoned, burned, or in armor? Yours. I'm not sweating a few yen. Go for it."

"Thank you." She took the can. "What game?"

"Horagai." (It's the conch shell that is used for battle calls)

"Really?" She smiled. "What guild?"

"Mettle Matter."

"Me too. Wow. I didn't think there was a player at school. I kinda," She held her head down. "Don't tell people I game. It's kind of embarrassing."

"Trust me I get it. Valor99. But IRL you can call me (FN). Senior. Want to meet me in the guildhall whenever you get on?"

"Sure thing. I'm Miku. Senior... I'm Raikiri5 on there."
