“Thank you all for coming today. For some of you, this has been a long journey, and for others the journey is still just beginning. But for everyone, today is an important day. Today, I am announcing the opening of the space station X-1, the first official space station in Qu’Lopti territory. At the same time, I am announcing the start of the new guild which will be stationed here.”
Taking a deep breath, I tried my best to keep a straight face as I said the next part. Really, I just couldn’t come up with a good name, so I went with one of the names for an old gaming guild. “As of today, the LEET NEETs will be acting as diplomatic envoys of the Qu’Lopti.”
Silently, I navigated the game menus, and chose to establish my guild with that name.
Are you SURE you wish to establish a guild with this name? Y/N
I shook my head, selecting yes, and streams of golden light shot out from my body, flowing through the entire room. Everyone looked on in shock as windows appeared in front of them asking to join the LEET NEETs. By the time the scene was over, a screen appeared in front of me as well.
The LEET NEETs guild has been established by John Hulett, and 1,337 members have chosen to join the guild.
New Guild Options are now available.
I decided to check those options later, and continued speaking. “I would like to thank everyone that joined. And now, I would like to welcome two special guests up to the stage for their own little celebration. Two girls that I’ve known since the very beginning. Please give a hand for Celeste and Yang.”
I smiled back to the stage before walking off the side. The Qu’Lopti, not knowing what to do, all raised one hand in the air, while the rest of the audience clapped. Meanwhile, the two girls walked out on stage.
Celeste was wearing her magical girl outfit, with her metal wings fully extended and her microphone in hand. Yang had apparently been dressed to match her, with a similar tight fitting green outfit on her own body. In her hand was another microphone.
“Alright, Chelsea, let’s get this started!” Celeste called out, lifting her microphone to the sky. Suddenly, a soothing music began to play out of it, while the lights dimmed around the room. Two spotlights appeared on the stage, one focused on each girl.
Celeste stepped up to the front of the stage, bringing the microphone to her mouth. As she sang, her light voice resounded throughout the entire room. “Moving on, is the hardest thing. Is the hardest choice, you’ll ever make.”
Looking over, she winked at me, then turned back to Yang, holding an arm out for her. “Keep yourself in line, find a cause to live… Find a reason to stay, and a reason to leave.” As Celeste sang, Yang walked up next to her with a smile, before singing her own part.
“Looking past the loss, looking past the sorrow. Find yourself an answer to your biggest doubts.” The two girls took each other’s hand and began singing in unison.
“Healing all the shock, all the pain. Making yourself whole again. Have you ever wondered, why am I the one? Why am I the one to suffer this.” Their voices harmonized as the lights gently spun around them. “Just look right around you, look at every face. They’re all standing, ready to help you.”
“Fight your way right through all the doubt, thought, and fear as you carve a path of your own, towards your happiness.” The two girls separated, one walking to either end of the stage, before turning to look at each other again. This time, it was Yang that sang the next part first.
“Make it so that you make use of everything you got from this, as you build a dream, of your own today.” After singing those lines, she extended an arm out for Celeste, who picked up the next part.
“Move along, make sure to live your life like a song. Call upon your friends, and we’re here for you.” Now, the two girls began slowly walking towards each other at the center of the stage, both singing the final parts of the song.
“Walk your path, just never forget. You’re not alone, and those beside you, walk with you every day.” When they reached the center, they stood side by side, leaning against each other and wrapping an arm around the other’s waist. The music slowed down as the last lines were sung. “We walk with you every day. We stand with you every day. We stand with you… every day.”
