I thought about it for a bit, then answered,
"sure. I'd like to get rid of controllers as well, I hate being forced to keep doing things when I'm tired." They all nodded sympathetically, no doubt having been through the same thing.
"Well, we should introduce ourselves" the first girl said, "I'm Pip, the girl over there is Katlin, and this is Tain" she said, pointing to herself, the girl with the scowl, and the red-haired man. "There is also another member, Anne." She frowned, "you might not like Anne very much, but we need all the help we can get. Besides, she shares our controller" It all made sense, except one thing,
"I see what you're doing, but there's something I'm confused about" I said, "your names. I mean, they are nice names, but most controllers don't name accounts names like those." the girl Pip, who was clearly in charge, answered,
"yeah, I know. We changed our names from our controller-given names, most of us didn't like what they named us." That made sense, I thought,
"what were your names before you changed them?" I asked politely, just because I wanted to know. Pip answered me again,
"I was named Fairydust842, Tain was Witch Rider4, Katlin was Lessa84, and Anne was Anne Lauten. Anne liked her name so she didn't change it much" I briefy wondered whether Tain and Katlin could talk, or if they just didn't like to.
"Where's Anne?" I asked. This time it was Tain who answered,
"she got logged in. And frankly, I'm happy that she did" I looked at him, there was evidently bad blood between Anne and Tain. Pip sighed,
"just try to be nice to her, I know she is a bit trying but we have to learn to live with it, alright?"
