BRAGR) Interview Part 2

“Your order.” The waitress gently placed down the food in front of me and Angel as well as Katie. It truly smelt very good. The idea that I could only eat this for a short time was a little saddening but what I wanted more than anything was to reset this world. Just these past few events in the real world reminded me why I wanted to destroy it so badly.

“In any case.” I savored a mouthful of the delicious strawberry treat before continuing. “I may sound like a madman, but one thing is clear to me. Our government is not to be trusted. If you want to survive in the coming new world, then you need to play Mortal Online. Choose a race you're comfortable transforming into and level up. Only then will your chances of survival increase. And if you're fortunate, I might consider inviting you to my Organization.”

“Organization? What kind?” Katie seemed to snap out of her daze and was right back at it.

“For gamers, it's akin to a guild, but one that exists both in and out of the game. Mine is known as The Fallen of Elysium.” I replied, my mouth still full of food, as I continued to explain the concept.

“And… Angel, was it? What about you? What do you think about all of this?” Katie seemed to want to turn the conversation elsewhere. I guess my gloomy message was not all that well received by the higher-ups.

“Me? Why are you asking me? You are interviewing Zoe, not me. I am only here to eat with my girlfriend.” Angel instantly shot her down causing me to chuckle.

“Let her eat. She gets cranky when she is hungr-ouch! Alright, you are as sweet as an angel no matter what you are doing.” I could only cry out as I felt the skin on my waist being twisted off once more.

“Humph!” Angel snorted before stuffing more food between her lips. I rolled my eyes and looked at

“Ahem…” Katie cleared her throat. I knew this was probably not the kind of interview she wanted. But what could I do? I was trying to be subtle and relay to whoever was watching that they should try to prepare for the worst.

“Zoe… I wonder, when you found yourself changed how did it feel. I mean physically?” Katie finally asked a decent question that went off the gloom.

“I would say that at first, I was really shocked and worried. It was a slow change, but after a few days, I became like I am now. It might sound like a lie but I look almost exactly like I did before. I can even prove it.” I took out my wallet that had my ID in it. I had not really changed all that much. Just a few tweaks here and there on my face. I wasn’t worried about my address being exposed since it was the old one. I handed the ID over and I watched as Katie looked at it with wide eyes then looked up at me before looking back at the ID. This back-and-forth happened a few times before she finally spoke.

“Why did you hide such a cute face?” Katie asked, her voice rising a pitch, causing Angel and me to be taken aback.

“Umm… It’s not something I want to talk about so I won’t just know I had my reasons. Anyway, as you can see my change is more like a bit of plastic surgery. Just without the high costs and risks that come with it.” I explained as I scooped up the last bit of pancake from my plate before turning to the home fries.

“So you can look like you wish…” Katie kept repeating the same words over and over and by the time she came too, Angel and I were both standing up.

“I hope this interview helped you and those out there watching. But I will say this before I take my leave. I will no longer be helping anyone outside my zone. You can thank the military for that.” I finished the interview with these words and walked towards the door before pausing and waving at Katie: “Thanks for the meal!”

“Huh? Meal? Hey, wait!” I heard Katie yell behind me as the door closed. I snickered and held Angel’s hand as we made our way back home.

“You are evil! And I love it!” Angel grinned from ear to ear. “I saw the look on her face when she realized she had to pay for the meal.”

“Nothing is free in life. She wanted an interview, and I wanted food. It was a fair trade.” I replied. We both chatted for a bit before having to stop when we saw a row of military trucks blocking our path.

“You did not think you could get away from me did you?” It was the dick head, Davis. “You assaulted members of the armed forces. You are officially under arrest.”

“Do you really want to do this again?” My good mood vanished as a blood thirsty aura began to spill out from my very being. My sword had already appeared in my hand. “I will say this now. I do not take threats lightly. Since you wish to keep getting in my way, then I will not hesitate to cut you down!”
