The Island, located in some random crack of the universe where “the loop” made you and another random 99 players shoot it out in a battle royale over and over again, where you’d end up in The Lobby only to hop into another match. You had a few Victory Royales under your belt, you were okay, but definitely not great. You also had an apartment in Tilted Towers, outside The Loop’s bounds, where you’d stay when you weren’t dodging bullets and grenades.

You hopped into a match, dropping Greasy Grove only to be ambushed by some chick with an assault rifle immediately as you dropped, her username above her head read “Meow_Skullz”, she was probably some try-hard. You could see her cat ear beanie poking up from behind the counter of the Durrr Burger she was hiding in. You’d try and shoot her with a grey shotgun, but at that distance, and she had cover, fat chance, kid. She peered out and stuck her tongue at you, firing off at you until she managed to crack your shield and knock you down to your whites. Eventually, you ran out of ammo, and she’d charge you with her pickaxe, knocking and eliminating you from the match then and there.

You’d respawn in the lobby with a frustrated groan, heading home to your apartment. As soon as you got to tilted, you’d see a familiar face, now wearing a victory crown, it was that girl who mercilessly eliminated you earlier! What was she doing here?! She met your gaze and immediately recognized you, she gave you a snaggle toothed grin as she approached you, extending her hand to shake yours.

“Yo, dude…! Good game, man! You almost had me earlier, I was down to one HP, you’re one hell of a shot…!”

She wasn’t the same tryhard you encountered, if anything she was super nice, and cute too. You shook her hand with your own smile.

“You live here too, right…? C’mon, lemme invite you to my place…!”
