Author's Notes Morning readers!  Finally the story has started! This is just a quick first chapter (or like an intro chapter really) as a look into the company. It's still rough around the edges as I'm finishing off the details and I'm sorry it took so long but I was bogged down by my classes. I think that starting next save file I'll start focusing on each character individually, switching around points of views because it heavily influences the focus / focuses. Anyways, enjoy.  -Soul P.S. After this is the teasers for VestiaScocen then Guardian. I'm debating whether or not there will be a save file in between.  dayum, so much detail :D I hope this elaborates well on the roles and layout of the whole place. Soul is quite amazing isnt she? FeelsWowMan :) This whole chapter is quite amusing isnt it? Let's all thank Soul for doing such a great job as per the usual <3 I absolutely love every interaction in this chapter, they're all so well written asghjkl I cant wait for more <3      -xana . . . . . . . . Save File 00: Would you like to play a game? . Allied Heart SOULART Gamers . There was something distinctly terrifying about knowing that the girl who was barking about fifteen different orders at an even larger group of people with confidence was his twin sister.    Talk about pressure.    He eyed the exit off to the side.    "Aaron!"   And there went his escape.   "Eevee!" he returned, smiling brightly despite his sister's no-nonsense look. "Eevee, Eevee, Eevee. To what do I owe the pleasure-"   "Give these two the usual introduction. They'll be in the room at the end of the hall," she ordered, cutting him off without remorse. She glanced to the clipboard in her arms before throwing him a look. "They're both unassigned still but they'll probably be with the Recoverers."    With that, she left without turning back. It was only once she was swallowed in the flow of people did he realize she had left him alone with two other people. Both males, at least two inches taller than himself and Asian (oh God Eevee, what if they didn't speak English? or French?), stared at him for a few seconds before he decided to just yolo it.    " 'Sup," he greeted, smiling and putting out a hand. "I'm Aaron. I'll give you guys the grand tour, er?"   "Wonjun," one of the duo inserted in clear but accented English, taking his hand politely and smiling. "This is Taekwoon. As she said, we're new."   "I could tell," he teased, chuckling. "She get you the two the guide?"   "You're talking about this book here, right?" Wonjun clarified, holding up a small pamphlet. The two Asians falling into step with the European.    "That'd be it," he confirmed, hitting the elevator button up. The cover was simple and plain, the words "The Guide to Survive" written across the front in smooth but large letters.    "It's a list of phone numbers," Taekwoon muttered, eyes skimming the lines inside the booklet.   "Think of it as an emergency contact list," he explained, hoping that there wasn't a misprint like in the first batch that had been delivered. The elevator arrived, and he stepped into the elevator, pressing the button for the seventh floor. From the corner of his eye, he saw Wonjun guide the other in with one hand on the small of his back while Taekwoon was nose-deep in the mini manual.   Oh. Oh.   "It's a list of common problems and who to talk to," he continued to explain, giving the two a quick glance - yup, hand still on the other's back. "If you look on the last page, it has a general map and where you go for certain things too. Long story short, it's your lifeline in this place if you don't want to bother your boss all the time. Anyways, I'm getting ahead of myself."   He took a breath.   "Quick floor run down, the first three are of a mini emergency hospital. It's mostly for our cover but also if something goes wrong while we're beating the game and it does actually function as a hospital," he explained, ticking them off on his fingers. "Fourth floor is the cafeteria - and yes, all the food is free for us but don't go too crazy - and the fifth floor is where all the crazy security stuff is. If you feel like anyone suspects that this building isn't just a hospital, you tell them. The sixth floor, where we're going to go after showing you two your rooms, is where all our workplaces are but honestly, it's a bunch of giant glorified game rooms which is why we call it the game floor. The seventh and eight floor are the dorms - guys and girls respectively, mostly - and finally, the ninth floor is the labs for the scientists trying to safely disconnect us from the game. Any questions so far?"   "What about the tenth floor?" Wonjun asked, pointing to the final button in the elevator clearly marked "10."   "Oh right. That's the meeting room for the heads of each division, but it's rarely used," he answered, exiting the elevator and walking down the halls with the two guys at his heel. "So to explain the divisions, there's three - the Rescuers, the Recoverers, and the Recruiters. There's a fourth group - the Linkers - but you can't choose to be a Linker so it's a moot point unless one day you're chosen, in which case they'll explain more then."   He finally stopped at the end of the hal

Chapter 12: Ahaha- I commented on the teaser for Yongwoon/Vestia but bypassed this because I needed to pass out last night. ;;
But !! This was such a cute and interesting introduction to the established characters through the event of an actual introduction in the story. Aaron seems like such a sweetheart- even if he seems to be stuck playing wrangler/generalized guide atm for the mish mash of people coming into Allied Heart lmAO. The subtleties between Wonjun and Taekwoon being unraveled through the eyes of Aaron was certainly an amusing trail to follow throughout this. I adore your writing- even with the shortest of appearances, you really give a solid feeling of distinction to each character to make them seem familiar (which could be from the perspective the writing is in since I suppose since even if it is in 3rd person perspective, Aaron was definitely the one directing the flow along with Wonjun, Taekwoon, and then later Yoichi once he popped up.) I'm not making much sense lol, sorry for my babbling. ;; __ ;;

Chapter 13: I high key screamed when I saw Soulart in my updated subscription feed. ;; u ;;
I'll reply to this once I read the teaser but your A/N reminded me of a previous applyfic that wrote my character's teaser in the perspective of the people around him!

Also! Lol, I had set it to friends only, but I've made my app public again!

Chapter 4: Thank you for the review!! I totally understand the changes you need to make to the app!! I can see Aisha occasionally having a shorter temper especially when it comes to competition so that's completely ok!! I didn't have a very good grasp of the timeline anyways so I understand if you need to adjust! Thank you :)

Chapter 4: Thank you for the review! LOL- I had the most giant brain fart I know about the heights and noticed that even before turning it in BUT FORGOT TO EDIT IT LMAO I I'M SORRY. Yeah, he was a beta tester, but unlike most of the other players, he kind of went too hard too fast?? He ended up burning himself out on the game and kind of dropped it for a while. As for the account transferring, he is just very indulgent, so if his gf at the time expresses interest in something he will go out of his way to make it happen- in those cases, his higher level accounts made gameplay easier so he was okay with it over if his gf was happy. :')
He and his ex don't really talk much. It's not for bad reasons, the two don't really share much of the same interest anymore. After the update, he did send an in game message to his old account though.
Funny story, in Final Fantasy Online I don't really like the Bard class- which is what I based a good amount of this app on. (since the races are from there too. lol) I'm not one for support classes since I at monitoring others and as such I am usually delegated to one of the DPS positions. ;; As for the secondary healing, I apologize since that was more of an offhanded assumption on my part with the skill sets from Final Fantasy Online- specifically one called "Second Wind" that is a healing skill available to most classes since you can switch classes and level up skills from their skill trees. (I can definitely remove it! But I noticed that you mentioned switching classes was permissible in SOULART too- even if the switching of classes is not recommended, the option could open up possibilities for cross class compatible skills that may be weaker in comparison to the main skills denoted for each class- basically secondary skills.) But basically I was pretty dumb and drew that connection without seeking clarification so I can remove it if you want! I'm getting worried about the length of this so I'll cont. in a reply to this. Lmao-
