Chapter 2-What Guilds Are All About
It was Saturday,3 days since Mandy played RO last.She couldn't think of anything else to do except play.That morning,she took out some money to buy some load.She ran over to the store only to find out it was closed!
"Oh great.Where will I get one now?" Mandy sobbed,sitting on the sidewalk.Suddenly,she noticed an unopened prepaid card. "OMG!Can this be-?"
Mandy took that prepaid card and rushed home.She topped it up at once."This is my lucky day!" she said to herself,giggling.After that,she logged in.
She found herself in the middle of Prontera's busy streets.There were chat rooms everywhere,even in the middle of nowhere!It was then when Mandy thought of a good plan…
She opened her own chat room. It said, "R(guild) 40".It was hard to find anyone interested though,since most of the good characters already had guilds.
A few moments later,she had already walked to Geffen,where she could recruit people who train in Kobold land.Those people have really high levels and that means they are usually online. Mandy didn't find anybody who was interested though.
She went to Geffen Dungeon,where she thought she could find somebody who might be interested to join.Just her luck,she had little hp left,and had to sit down somewhere safe.
'I wonder if somebody would want to join…' Mandy thought to herself.As she waited for her HP and SP to fully recover,she opened up a chat room.It said,"R Guild Members".
Not so long after,4 people went inside the chatroom."Sis,may I join?" one said.The others then said the same thing.
"Sure,everybody can join!Wait…just stay still…I'll invite you in./no1" Mandy said to them.Soon after,her guild was almost full.
"Descendants of the East" was getting busier and busier by the moment.It was very active,and everybody always had someone else to talk to,usually.
"Well,thank you for joining.I have to go now,sorry.I'll try to go online tomorrow,k?/sry" Mandy bid them goodbye.She shut the PC and went to bed.
The next day,Mandy woke up late.She went to the kitchen as quick as she can and ate breakfast.Then she went to the bathroom to wash her face,and suddenly realized,there was school that day!
"Oh great,I just went absent on a school day." She said to herself,lying down on the couch.She opened the TV to see what was on. She watched the usual morning cartoons she couldn't have watched if she was at school. Then she heard shouting at the background, a sound which the cartoons characters wouldn't make since they were tiny squeaking animals, but Mandy realized that was her mom calling her!
"Aye, why aren't you at school, dear?" her mom asked her.
"Sorry, I missed the bus."
"That's okay, but you'll have to help me do these errands."
"Sure, what are they?"
Suddenly, Mandy's eyes widened in fear when she saw her mom take out a piece of paper that was so long it looked like bathroom tissue! "That's all the errands. I'll do ¾ then you do the rest." Her mom said as Mandy sighed in relief. "No problem mom! I can do that in 4 hours, I hope." Mandy replied as she received a part of the errands list.
Mandy had already finished making beds, dusting the piano, arranging the photos, and all that there were left was shopping. 'There is a perk after all.' Mandy thought to herself, grinning all the way up to her ears.
"Thank you," Mandy said to the grocer. She walked out of the grocery and skipped along the hot asphalt on her way home. Then when she passed by the small empty lot, she noticed children pairing up in groups and building forts and throwing water balloons at each other. She hid herself under a bush and watched the kids.
A little child, about 7 years old, went up to the oldest kid in one of the groups. "May I join?" the kid asked. "Sorry kid, maybe next year. I don't want my group to lose. Try the other group." The oldest kid in the group replied before he went back to making balloons. "Psst…over here!" Mandy called the attention of the nearest kid.
"What sister?"
"By any chance, what in the world are you kids doing?"
"Just playing forts."
"What's that game? Never heard of it."
"Well, in forts, you gotta capture the largest fort by driving the others out of there by soaking them wet. Anyway, I gotta go before anybody sees me. See ya!"
Mandy hurried home so that she doesn't get scolded. "Are the groceries all done?" Mandy's mom asked. "Yes mom, all done. I'm gonna play now." Mandy replied. Mandy turned on the PC and checked her character.
She played her character and checked how her guild was doing. Then suddenly, she noticed a GM flashing a message all over the server.
"Calling All Guilds! Calling All Guilds! Prepare yourselves for the War of the Emperium! Good luck in getting your own agit at the Guild Wars! Coming Soon in this Server!"
As Mandy received the message, she asked Jake, her guildmate, what that guild war was all about.
"Guild war? I'm not sure, but I heard it has something to do with getting your own agit, or castle, but you have to fight other guilds, kinda like PVP and stuff. There's more to it than that though. You must level up your guild and stuff and then make sure everybody's strong enough. You should check the latest guide book, coz probably they have the details there." Jake explained.
"Thanks. So probably being the best is what guilds are all about…"
