As the process for selecting the remaining four members, Aoi stood to the side. He would reply to a few comments here and there, mostly from [[God_of_War]] who had pushed the recruiting to the other members. He took a moment to step away to grab his food before returning to the computer, his gaze going over the comments and responding as he ate.

After a couple of minutes, there was a dispute that broke out. A flashy avatar brandished a sword as he swung it in an arrogant manor. Having only been looking in on the Party Chat, Aoi wasn't sure what had happened, until the voice spoke into the game.

[[Chaos_Boss]]: "Why is [[V1RUS]] already in the party?! I was here first! Clearly I'm the better choice."

The rest of the group of people trying to join the party quieted down, a two of the members that had already been chosen stood to the side, waiting for their party invite.

This chat feature was usually only used during large raids when typing wasn't possible, being a newer features, only the 'flashy' ones would use it. Constantly cursing and expressing their dislike of things over it.

Aoi shifted from the party chat to read the local chat, his gaze narrowing as he went over the many different comments about his participation. Did it really matter?

Before he could comment, another mic lit up and a deep voice came out.

[[God_of_War]]: He is because I said so...

Aoi felt his ears itching as he listened to the soothing deep tone. It was truly the tone of a male god! He felt his mind wake up a bit as he smiled to himself.

The youth that had spoken before began to rant once more, Aoi just stayed silent as the conversation moved from chat to mics.

Finally when the argument was put to an end, the annoying youth being accepted as the last member of the party, the rest began to clear out.

Aoi continued to ignore the rambles of the male who sounded like a middle school brat, as he just listened to [[God_of_War]] as he spoke the quest objectives and assigned the slots of what the members would be responsible.

To his surprise, instead of being placed in the 'healer' group. Aoi was given the role of the all rounder.

[[Chaos_Boss]] argued again, saying his class was better as the all rounder, as he was playing the array master. It could cast defensive arrays, as well as use arrays able to bust 'healing skills' the healers would cast.

Not bothering to explain, [[God_of_War]] just waved him off, leaving him in the backup support group.

[[God_of_War]]: "Now that the spots have been allocated, we'll begin the Quest. If you can't type fast, just use your mics. It's a ranked quest."

The others gave a few comments of agreement over the mic, as Aoi simply gave his response in the party chat. His own mic icon remained greyed out.
