Chapter 2: The Knight of A... Is He?
BurningSands (points to the right direction): It’s a little bit over there. Just be sure to keep a distance from the WBO kids. They have a bad habit of tagging people on forums and might not have a sense of personal space-
Both MysticZone and Galactic Floof have grim faces. They glance over at Sands, before looking back at B.
MysticZone: Don’t worry about it, Sands. We can escort B there ourselves, no need to help out.
BurningSands (speaking in her head): Geez, Mystic seems a little blunt. I know he usually sounds like that, but still...
BladerB (big smile): Whatever works, honestly. I’m lucky to have help at all.
BurningSands (to the other two WBO users): I should probably get going onto Discord. I’m kinda good at introducing the server to new users… I mean, not a lot of people are sensible enough to explain the atmosphere to them.
i’m batman: I want to go there too!
BeybladeManiac0: Alright, bye. I’m going to get Discord real soon so I hope I can join in as well.
BurningSands (smiling with cringe/embarrassment): Take your time, the server can be… sus.
On a serious note, Sands is not wrong. The Discord community has been really suspicious lately. With inside jokes being rampant and the A Crisis at large, the place seemed to be transforming into one giant circus. Or crime scene.
And new users wouldn’t like that. Not that the server cared — the A Crisis made it really hard for new users to fit in.
BurningSands: Oh my gods. What is going on?
There is a huge crowd packed outside the new building in the Discord side of the WBO. The new building was called “The Lucy Museum.” Despite being called a museum, it looked more like some sort of store and was rather small. The display window was packed with multiple goods based on the anthropomorphic Lucifer meme.
BurningSands: Seriously? Who did this? This wasn’t me, I swear.
Longinox (turning to Sands): Whoever did it, it sucks to be you. You can’t copyright something from Beyblade, anyway.
Cindercast: I can’t wait to see all of the Lucy goods!
DeltaZakuro: At least it’s over here, or else the obnoxious WBO folks will ruin this place.
BurningSands (cringes): Um, props to the placement I guess. Not like the forums will understand this meme.
Random user: Your Lucy meme is on TV Tropes, what do you mean?
BurningSands: Uh, whatever.
hex4: I really need to catch up to this server. I don’t quite understand the Lucy thing.
Random user 2: Me neither!
DeltaZakuro: She’s a wonderful thing, of course. I wonder if Lucy can-
Pixi: (walks closer with a camera in hand and ready to catch a moment)
BurningSands (speaking in her head): Not Pixi again!
DeltaZakuro (turns to see Pixi and frowns): Huh?
Pixi (quickly hides camera): What?
BurningSands: …
MysticZone (behind Sands): You’re going to dig yourself a hole. I mean, with all these weirdos around — how old is Lucy?
Galactic Floof: It probably shouldn’t matter, she’s a Beyblade avatar. So what?
MysticZone: Poor Sands…
BladerB: Oh, wow. A Lucifer The End-themed building… Impressive, I suppose.
BurningSands: Kudos to whoever built it I guess.
DeltaZakuro: This is a meme well-done. Sands is a really good artist — no wonder it flew off.
Random user: I wonder if I can get some Lucifer prints!
BladerB (gazes at the building): I didn’t know the WBO was that weird. A whole building just for a Beyblade? Get real.
Longinox: Yeah, we can be really suspicious at times.
hex4 (notices B’s sourness): Hey, that’s not cool to say.
BladerB: It’s stuff like this filling the server. Makes it really hard to find a mod to talk to, you know.
MysticZone (mumbles): Idiot (Sands: who?) is going to make this really hard for us...
The crowd turns their heads. They’re suddenly concerned — was this going to be a real argument? Or was this one of the server’s meme-y arguments?
Pixi: Ooo drama. Hex vs B fight.
BladerB (boils up, with his face grim): You guys are so weird. Why was A banned for being suspicious? You guys are just as suspicious, simping over Beyblades and playing weird games here. What A did was super tame!
hex4: I’m not super involved with this server, alright? Or maybe it’s just one channel that does weird stuff.
DeltaZakuro (nods): Yeah, especially Pixi and Dream. Both of them are super suspicious.
Pixi: HEY!
BurningSands: Hey dude, knock it off — all my banter aside, you do realize A was justifiably gone, right? He was super weird and lived life on the edge. All of those minor infractions gave him a terrible fate. Which was rather expected, since we were all wondering when he was going to be banned.
As weird as Sands could be, there were some murmur of agreements.
Galactic Floof: Good point I guess. (Gets elbowed by Mystic) Hey!
BladerB (elbowed by Mystic too, but still talking): But what he did does not warrant a ban. He didn’t do anything wrong or deliberately, did he?
BusyBlader: Well, he did send weird messages and then deleted them a split second later. Sometimes a mod would catch him.
BladerB: But is there a ban against deleting your own messages? It looks like he was just trying to be funny, and he was not attempting to be a troll.
DeltaZakuro: I’m pretty sure Dream and other people have images of moments where A said really shady things.
BusyBlader: A came back with an alt recently, too.
BladerB: Maybe he wouldn’t have come back if you banned him unjustifiably. You guys dug your own grave and instigated your own problems.
MysticZone (elbows B again and whispers a little too loudly): This is not the idea. We are supposed to go to the mods and start from there.
BladerB (cackling): But we have users willing to argue with me! They are fiercely loyal to the WBO and their horrible overseers, and that is enough for me.
B points to the crowd, many of whom ran off to get mods or went offline out of frustration. Some other users were attracted by the drama and wanted to watch.
DeltaZakuro: I’m going to get the mods too.
Pixi: I’m going to dip, fill me in later.
Longinox: This is getting too weird!
BladerB (does evil villain pose): Who here wants to debate with me? Who here wants to explain the ethics of banning our friend A?
BurningSands: Our???
Call me either Sands/Suns!
