Chapter 8 Sneak Peek! Stormweaver II
Added 2022-02-03 17:44:47 +0000 UTCChapter 8 (probably) coming Friday! Bryce is having to rework an issue regarding a missing character, so the promised chapter may be delayed by a day or two! Working not to let that happen, though!
The moment they crossed the silver line that marked the edge of it—spreading out a bit as they headed for the far end of the 30-yard circle and the scattered line of six distinct starting rings waiting for them there—a notification popped up across Rei’s frame, bright in the red text that only displayed in combat circumstances.
Team communications established.
Though he’d expected it, Rei couldn’t help but wince as Aria’s voice—as concerned as it was angry—rang clear over his NOED.
“I’m assuming I don’t need to ask for an explanation.”
Rei almost sighed as they crossed the halfway mark of the field.
“We’ll talk about it later. Let’s just focus on the match right now.”
Unsurprisingly, that didn’t sit well.
“Nuh-uh. You go missing for the better part of the morning without a word, then Viv sends us all off looking for only to go AWOL too. An hour later, here you both are, together and late. Again: I’m assuming I don’t need to ask for an explanation.”
Rei did sigh this time, making sure to bring two fingers up to press to the spot where his neuro-optic was implanted as he did.
“Muting yourself won’t help, Rei. I’m looking at you.”
