Mario: Bored already huh?
Me: I CAN'T HELP IT! THIS STORY HAS SO MUCH POTENTIAL ALONG WITH THE OLYMPICS!
Crystal: ...You're starting to become like a certain Elsword author Fire.
Me: DONT YOU SAY IT! Anyway Thanks for everyone who sent their OC! The real Let's Play starts next chapter, but for now enjoy literally everyone having their OC in.
Chapter 2: Contestants Revealed
RCDx/BlueBlurBlitz
*RING* *RING*! A young teenager answered his blue phone. "Hello?"
"Sonic you there?" An energetic voice answered.
Oh it's Mario. If he wants to copy my homework again, I'm gonna- "Yeah I'm here bro what is it?" Sonic responded.
"Cool you know that game I keep pestering you about?" Mario asked.
"You mean Elsword, where I always kicked your Lord Knight ass with my Rune Slayer?" Sonic joked.
Mario hesitated to follow up on the statement. "...Shut up. Anyway wanna do a Let's Play of Elsword, I got a camera and Crystal to join us so-"
"OH MY GOD!" Sonic gasped sarcastically. "YOU GOT YOUR GIRLFRIEND TO PLAY WITH YOU?!"
"I SAID SHUT UP DAMMIT!" Mario stumbled.
"...os...ere...rio?" A faint feminine voice spoke through the phone.
"No one!" Mario assured Crystal.
"...ut...you called...meone"
"OKAY ARE YOU JOINING OR NOT SONIC!?" Mario blushed, irritated over Sonic's burst of laughter over the other end.
The free-spirited teenager finished laughing and answered. "Sure I heard Shelling Guardian's coming out tomorrow. I'm so gonna kick your ass again with him."
Mario hung up the phone. Oh god that was more painful than I thought...
"You seem tired Mario?" Crystal pondered, watching the boundless Mario suddenly acting like he was put in the emo corner sitting on his chair.
"I..I'm fine Crystal." Mario reassured. "Sonic and I are pretty even rivals so things tend to get heated up. I called him up first so I can get that out of the way." He punched in the next line and called up another friend.
Helringo
"He..Hello?" On the other side of the line, a 14 year old teen donned in nearly all brown shyly answered the phone.
"Hi Hel, it's me Mario!"
"Oh! How do you do Mario?" Hel politely asked.
"I'm fine but I'm wondering if you want to join us in a Let's Play?" Mario asked.
"Us?" Hel tilted his head in confusion. "Who's 'us' Mario?"
"Well there's you, me, Sonic, and Crystal so far." His voice transmuted through the phone. "I'm hoping to get the rest of us to play Elsword for a full blown playthrough."
"Oh I only played that game from time to time..." Hel hesitated for a bit. "But sure I got nothing else to do, plus I have you and Sonic to show me the ropes."
"Don't worry I'm asking the other guys in our school if they want to play as well."
"Sure thing...but can you please get more girls to join us Mario?"
"Why? I already got Crystal." Mario seemed to have no problem with an almost all guy Let's Play.
"...Just get more than your girlfriend Mario."
The reddening teen slammed the phone shut, Crystal facepalmed and sighed. "What is it this time you idiot?"
"That was Hel, who like Sonic seemed convinced we're together."
"Well we are seated together in nearly every class we're in so-"
"THAT DOESN'T PROVE ANYTHING!" Mario jabbed a finger. Suddenly he thought of an idea. "Hey Crystal, mind if you call up any girls you know?"
"Why?"
"Well Hel requested we get more girls to play the game with us."
"But why can't you do it Mario? It's the same as talking to boys."
Mario glanced at the computer screen and thought up a reason. "I still didn't decide on my character yet that's why!" He pondered on someone to choose for a few moments but to no avail. Maybe this isn't such a good idea after all. I mean I can't even pick which character I want, let alone the job path I want. "Actually Crystal I won't mind calling up the next gi-"
It was too late, she already had the phone up to her ear, waiting patiently for the caller to pick up.
I Luv You Allen/Witch Madness
In another place a girl's phone rang. We know this because the ringing scared the daylights out of her, rolling out of the bed. Yawning, the girl rubbed her head and answered the phone. "Ohayo gozaimasu."
"It is not morning Rayne, it's one in the afternoon." Crystal politely and expressionlessly corrected her. "We don't have that Japanese quiz until another 5 weeks."
Tch, and she wants me to study for a Math test coming up in 9 weeks. Mario sat annoyed, deciding between Raven and Elsword.
"Oh hi Crystal!" Rayne Hunter suddenly brightened up. "Did you call to get your textbook back?"
"No, Mario wants to ask you an important question." As if on purpose, Crystal put the phone on speaker right before she asked.
Rayne answered wide-eyed. "W-What!? B-But I'm not ready for t-that kind of relationship yet!" She sat down on her bed shrinking into her night hoodie.
"...IVE...ME...HE...ONE!" Rayne heard...grunts and stuff clattering to the floor. Oh dear! She worriedly thought. Are Mario and Crystal...
"I DID NOT IMPLY THAT RAYNE!" Mario shouted onto the phone. "CRYSTAL PLOTTED THAT!" He reassured, glaring at the girl who stuck out the V-sign in victory. He calmed down and asked again. "What I meant is...do you want to join us in a Let's Play of Elsword?"
The timid girl suddenly shot up her voice in confidence. "Like yeah I will! Let me make another Rena!" The last Mario heard before clicking the phone shut is the sound of footsteps rushing to the computer.
He clenched the phone and death glared at Crystal. "WHY!" He brought himself closer to her in anger. "DIDN'T YOU BE MORE SPECIFIC?!"
"It is not my fault you and she overreacted to my question. May I ask how you acquired her number in the first place?"
"It was part of the regulations during a field trip we took together in Art." Mario truthfully explained. "Since the museum we headed to was freaking gigantic, everyone had to exchange numbers in order to keep in touch."
"I see." Crystal pondered. "I guess that makes five people up for this event."
"Yeah." Mario got pumped up. "But we can do better than that right!" He called up the next person.

A girl danced in her spacious room, jamming out to the music playing on her headphones through her iPhone. Unfortunately she turned the volume up a smidge too loud, her "A Tale of Six Trillion Years and a Night" blared through her headphones, startling her. Luckily crashing into her bed, the energetic and now irritated girl grudgingly answered the phone. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT?!"
Mario could've sworn he lost a few fillings from the recipient's lovely greeting. "O-Ow! Damn Mauri can you be any louder?"
Oh...it's him. "I CAN BE AS LOUD AS I WANT!" Mauri shouted back. This time Mario's smart enough to leave the phone in speaker.
"Yeah yeah." He grumbled. "Anyway wanna play Elsword? Crystal, Sonic, Hel, Rayne, and I are starting up a Let's Play series of it."
Mauri straightened up and shouted even more. "CAN I BE IN IT!? I'M SO BOOOORED!"
Mario and Crystal sweatdropped, with the former responding. "Sure, we'll see you in Ruben. I'm gonna go call up more people to play with us."
"AWESOME! I'M SO GOING TO BEAT YOU UP WITH AISHA!" With a click, Mauri hung up the phone, humming Bad Apple as she searches for her laptop under her bed.
… The two's minds went blank for a moment.This is going to be a veeeeeery interesting Let's Play series. Both of them pondered the same thought. Mario realized his position in the bed and quickly ran back to the computer desktop. "Anyway Crystal I think I can handle the rest of the calls now! You go pick your character and wait by Anne alright?"
"Sure thing." Crystal obeyed and went about her business.
Finally! No more awkward conversations for me! Mario silently thought in happy waterfall tears. "Now who should I ask next..." Mario pulled out his own phone this time and scrolled through his contact list, hoping to find someone willing to join him. Let's see...no he's away for a trip. She could work...if she didn't proclaim that she's working on her History project all semester. How about him? I wouldn't mind if he shows up in the video. He pulled down to the "S" names in his contacts and called up the next vic- I mean participant.
SwitchON
A boy with hazel hair with matching eyes slurped up some ramen noodles on his bed watching YouTube videos from his laptop. After he gulped the last of the cup the boy had this weird feeling. He picked up the phone and pondered. Why do I have the feeling someone's about to call-
*RING* *RING*! Hell yeah I was right! The boy smiled at himself for his awesome prediction skills and answered the phone. "Hi there."
"Yo Suichi you free?" Mario asked the boy, who appeared visibly irritated on the other line.
"For the last time Mario." He reminded his easygoing friend. "My name's Switch, it's much more badass!"
"Suichi, Switch, whatever." Mario seemed uninterested. "You want to play some Elsword, me and several other guys are doing a Let's Play of the game!"
"Sure why not." Switch yawned. "This means I have to make a new character right?"
"Yeah Switch. It's not a problem right?"
"Nothing...it's just." Switch became nervous. "Any girls joining the Let's Play Mario?"
"I got three girls so far: Crystal, Rayne, and Mauri." Mario answered. Suddenly he heard crumbling over the line.
"I...ear...u...eaking...up!" Switch's voice gradually lowered into a whisper.
Mario facepalmed. "That's some paper idiot you can hear me just fine!"
He laughed. "Yeah you're right. Anyway I'll see you in Ruben in..."
"Channel 1."
"One got it!" Switch hung up the phone.
"How was it Mario?" Crystal asked. Mario appeared satisfied after he hung up the phone.
"I'm alright Crystal! That wasn't so bad at all!" He inputted some numbers to call up the next person when suddenly another called him up. Her huh? Mario thought, a smile appearing on his face. I can get her to join us as well! With joy bursting through him, Mario answered the phone.
Burnt Mami/Mami Conspiracy
"Hello?"
"Hi Mario it's me!" A cheerful black haired girl happily answered, cuddling a stuffed teddy bear in the bed watching TV.
"Hey Sakra any reason you called?" He continued the happy-go-lucky act.
"Yeah I was wondering if..." Sakra asked. "...you could tell me where I can find the online packet for Science."
"Sure you just go to..." Mario gave the optimistic girl directions to find the aforementioned packet. "...and you're all set!"
"Oh thanks Mario! I'll see you la-"
"Wait Sakra! I want to ask you something."
"Y-Yes!?" She hugged her teddy harder.
"Wanna do a Let's Play of Elsword with me and others? You're gonna need to make a new character and meet us in Ruben in Channel one, but you wanna come?"
"Sure!" Sakra's optimism never failed Mario. "I'll be waiting!"
"Awesome, I'll call up the rest of our friends to play." Mario hung up the phone beaming with joy.
"...You are starting to creep me out Mario." Crystal glanced, horrified even, at Mario's rare blissfulness. "How many more do you wish to join?"
He snapped back to reality and pondered in thought. After a few moments he came up with an answer. "Three more people. I can think of three girls right away who can join us. Like all the others except Mauri and you, they all have some experience playing Elsword. Convincing them should be a snap!" Mario dialed the next number, enthusiastic.
"I do not know whether to be excited to have more girls in this Let's Play," Crystal mumbled to herself in awe of Mario's last statement, "or scared of how confident he is."

The bathroom mirror fogs up as the girl in the shower bathes in water (No I won't go into detail). After a few minutes the teenage female exited the shower, dressed up, did her hair, etc. It's only when she sat down by her computer desktop, a bottle of milk in hand, that her cell phone rang. "Hello." With a stern voice, the girl answered the phone.
"Kuroko hey, it's Mario!" The energetic voice on the other line picked up. "Wanna do a Let's Play of Els-"
"Now you listen here you idiot!" Kuroko assertively started with him. "I don't want to know of your so-called plans nor do I want to take part in any of it." Her voice rang in his ears.
"Wait I didn't even fi-"
"I don't give a damn Mario." She interrupted him. "All of your ideas so far flushed in the toilet. Remember that time we teamed up against two guys on Elsword then get completely owned because of your constant need to attack?"
"If I remember correctly you're the one who said-"
"SILENCE YOU IDIO-" This time it's the tsundere's turn to be interrupted.
"Hello Kuroko." Crystal yanked the phone away from Mario and answered. "It is I, Crystal."
"Oh hi Crystal!" Kuroko's voice drastically mellowed down, revealing her "dere" persona. "What did that idiot Mario want if you're there with him?"
"I'm at his house, helping him perform a Let's Play of Elsword."
"A Let's Play? Sounds interesting." The tsundere pondered for a bit. "I'll do it! I've been meaning to try out Code Electra to electrocute Mario's ass for sometime now!" With a polite soundoff, Kuroko and Crystal click the phones shut.
Mario's mouth gaped open. "H-How did you manage to get her to play with us!?"
"Simple." Crystal explained. "A total tsundere like her only opens up with her close friends."
"I know my otaku speak Crystal." Mario mentioned. "I'm just shocked how the two of you became really close friends."
"I adopted the saying: 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend'." She explained.
Mario sweatdropped. I feel like almost everyone wants to beat me up during this Let's Play. I'm still the main character right ?! He sighed and called up the next girl, which he later regretted thanks to her unique personality.
TsukixnoEvernight
"Servant!" A lithe 15 year old girl with long silver hair ordered the aforementioned servant kneeled down in front of her. "Fetch me some tea!"
"Yes my Queen!" With a scurry, the servant goes off to prepare some tea.
The girl sits in her throne of a room, searching up royal things on Google via her laptop when the cell phone in her pocket rings. Looking at the caller ID, she scorns and answers. "Hello?"
"Hi Ever you want to do a Let's Play of Elsword?" Mario repeated that same phrase at least 8 times today.
"And why should I do that mere human?" Ever asserts her authority at the more laid-back Mario.
"First of all you can cut the Queen act Ever. Second if you really want to assert your 'dominance'," Mario started acting sarcastic, especially with the word 'dominance', "We could PvP in our new character on Elsword sometime if that satisfies you then."
"Hmph." Ever snorted. "I'll join, but only so I'll kick your butt with my upcoming Code Empress. I'll see you later Mario." The two hang up their phones. Sigh. Ever thought wistfully. If only I wasn't so damn bossy all the time maybe people could start to respect me.
"Y-Your tea your Highness!" Eh I'll start being nice tomorrow! Ever took the tea and sipped it.
"How did it go Mario? You acted an awful lot like yourself during that conversation." Crystal asked, thinking up a name for her chosen character.
"Eh that was Hazelnight." Mario answered. "She can get bossy at times, but Ever's pretty damn good at the game so why not." He stretched, relieved. "Whew! Only one more person to go!"
"Did you tell any of them where we are meeting Mario?"
...Shit. Mario quickly sent a text to all of the friends he called so far plus the last one he's about to call in a matter of seconds:
"Hey guys it's Mario. When you guys arrive at Ruben Channel 1, go to the Mailbox and keep jumping until a guy named 'MarioFireRed' asks for a friend request. I'll tell you the rest once Crystal and I get on!"
RubyCrusade
"BURN ORDER!" The queen of the kingdom of Nyx heated up her cup of coffee in order to save electricity, sipping up the now spicy hot drink. Tch. Another boring day at the kingdom. She thought. If only something interesting could just show up. Suddenly her phone rang.
Perfect timing! Drinking her coffee, the queen sifted through her pockets for the phone and answered it. "Nyx residence, Izanagi speaking."
"Hey it's Mario!"...This better be interesting.
"What is it? I've been bored lately and you better have something that can quench my thirst for something fun."
"Oh have I got a deal for you!" Mario proposed, sounding like a cliché telemarketer. "Wanna join me and 9 others on a Let's Play of Elsword?"
"Tch. Why should I agree to that Mario?" She spat at him.
"Geez you're almost like Kuroko..." Mario trailed off. "Anyway, wanna join?"
"Fine I guess." Izanagi accepted, it's better to give up soon rather than waste time losing a fight. "My Code Nemesis will destroy all with Queen's Throne!" She hung up.
"Well Crystal." Mario looked at her with a grin on his face. "Looks like we got all our members!"
Crystal facepalmed. I can't believe he actually went and did it...
"Alright time to pick my character!" Mario looked at the list of characters for a moment, already thinking who he would choose while calling up the others. He picked his character, Raven (future Blade Master), and his nickname MarioFireRed and skipped through the tutorial. Crystal did the same, picking Eve (future Code Nemesis) and SilverDia for her username.
Upon entering Ruben, MarioFireRed (Mario) and SilverDia (Silver) completed their first quest of talking to Hagus and spent their skill points on Basic Magic Defense Training. Sure enough, 9 jumping people awaited the duo by the mailbox. One by one Mario added their friend requests:
ChaoticShell for Sonic's Chung (ShG)
Picannon for Hel's Chung (ShG)
FairSky for Rayne's Rena (GA)
Sumerini for Mauri's Aisha (BtM)
SwitchON for Switch's Elsword (RS)
Mamiciou for Sakra's Aisha (VP)
xSymphonicx for Kuroko's Eve (Cel)
xIllusionsx for Ever's Eve (Cem)
Tsurugi13 for Izanagi's Eve (CN)
Mario typed in All Chat. "Alright guys wait here I'm gonna get the equipment, then I'm starting the Let's Play!" Feeling excited, Mario rushed to the closet door and gathered the necessary equipment. With Crystal's help, he sets them up on the computer all ready to get started.
Alright! Let's start this series up! Mario hits the record button.
Mario: 11 characters for this story, 33 characters for the Olympics...dear god Fire when did you start making stories with so many characters.
Me: Because I feel like it that's why! Anyway thanks for everyone who signed up their OCs for this Let's Play! Things'll be rough at first, but just wait till Mario can create a guild for all of them to stay on.
Mario: Wait what?
Me: Nothing :P
I can't help it. This story occupied pretty much my ideas for my fanfics xD. The other stories will come soon (Virtual Journey and Red Stained are definately gonna be updated next), so just sit back and wait patiently for this series to begin!
