Chris Waters ("NightFox" / Fennekin) & Natalie Pence (MoneyBunny / Buneary)
Exploration Team Lucky Strike
Spawning in Discovery Town
Affected RPers: N/A

With the team Lucky Strike now formed as an exploration team, Chris and Natalie had begun sifting through what kinds missions they could undertake, and they were mainly exploration missions and outlaw bounty missions. There weren't too many other Exploration Teams at the moment, but then again, the game had only just started. In days, Chris figured there would be hundreds, if not even thousands.

"It's simple," Raiju the Jolteon explained with a casual air about him. "While Adventure Teams may do the risky work of finding new areas to explore, we're the ones that actually go deep into them and work out all their secrets. Plus, we don't need to deal with the kinds of stress they go through."

"Yeah, I ain't no guinea pig," Natalie told Chris, not liking the idea of an adventure team anyway. "Plus damn, dude, bounty hunting. We're all over that."

"Yep, we do that too," Raiju smiled. "Adventure teams can't get into the field because they're out in the field for long periods of times, and they can't take felons along. You guys, however, can make out big doing that kind of work. It's exciting too!"

Chris felt pretty satisfied about his decision. Once they were done with the introductions and getting settled into the guild, they decided to see what beginning missions they could understand and get a start on improving their rank. Things seemed generally pretty solid at first, and while Natalie wanted to jump right into bounty hunting, Chris felt it was a better idea to "grind" some more before doing that.

That was, until another member of the guild, Naomi the Petilil, under the username "Roxy99," had softly approached the two.

"Uhh, guys, I need a little help," Naomi told them. "I can't figure out how to logoff. I told my mom I'd play for just an hour before homework and I'm pretty sure I've gone way over. Do you guys know how to do it?"

Chris sifted through the game options. Missions, Bag, Team, Chat, Options, and other menu selections all appearing as a wheel gallery of icons before him like a hologram. He went through the options menu but they were only for adjusting audio, changing language, profanity filter, and the other usual game options, but nothing for logging out.

"Huh, that's weird, how do you log out of this game?" Natalie asked, really beginning to wonder herself as she watched Chris and tried to do it through her own menu wheel. "Usually this is an easy thing to figure out!"

Chris had gone through the menu selection ring at least three more times before concluding that it couldn't be done in the field. He was beginning to wonder if there were special logout points, which wasn't typical for games to do these days, but it wouldn't have been an entirely foreign concept. The only thing was he hadn't seen a single one since the game started and he really felt there should have been one by now, if not quite a few. They were right in the middle of town, which should have had several in the current zone they were in since it was considered a safe spot to begin with.

"Beats me, I don't know how to do it," Chris told Naomi, feeling confused. "Shouldn't there be a GM or something that you can ask? Maybe put in a help request or something. It's probably something so simple and stupid once you know it but they didn't make it easy to find out."

Chris was now wondering if maybe there was some special voice chat command that made it happen, but he hadn't heard anything about the likes of that even just once.

"Yeah, guess I'll just do that," Naomi replied, shrugging. "You'd think something so simple would be easy to find, right? I'll let you know what they say."

"Good, because I've got an exercise class to go to in about an hour," Natalie replied, checking the current time. "Game's fun but I ain't getting fat over it."

While Naomi put in the help request ticket to the GM, Chris stood by, wondering exactly how this process was done just to see it for himself.
