After drinking some water and properly swallowing the chocolate, evelyn takes a deep breath in order to avoid her nervousness.
"I am sorry to ask this but as long as I remember , I did not sign any kind of contract to join a specific group."
Right after evelyn finishes speaking her sentence Aarav her a look as if she just confessed about committing genocide .
"So, you are an unregistered caller."
"Yeah?"
"Without any license or guild backing you up"
"Mhm"
"And you are just roaming around from one place to another attracting all kind of attention from general public and the caller community.''
"Yea-"
"Oh shit!''
A chibi Aarav has suddenly appeared to explain this situation.
Note: If a caller walks around unregistered without any reason (for example, being assigned as a spy by a specific guild) , they are instantly labelled as a 'traitor' among the government and the public. In order to understand the reason for this labelling, let's dive into a little flashback.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Once upon a time , a normal civilian awakened as a caller resulting in receiving lots of fame and wealth, however the complicated system of callers and guilds developed roots for a huge inferiority complex inside the caller. As the roots grew deeper, the caller started to make many minor mistakes during critical points resulting in their quick downfall. Taking the advantage of the situation, the terminator disguised in their civilian self approached the caller and carefully manipulated them into becoming their agent. Thus, a lot of guild's crucial information got leaked resulting in a huge loss for the citizens and the callers.
Right in the middle, chibi Aarav tears the story flashback
"WHY ON EARTH ARE YOU DISPLAYING SUCH TRAGIC STORY IN SUCH A CHEERFUL MANNER!"
The chibi Aarav becomes really furious burning away all the background with his anger
...…
"Ahem…. anyways, ever since the incident , all the guilds are extremely cautious as to not let any unregistered caller roam around the city freely. The callers who register to a particular guild are made to sign a confidentiality clause where betrayal could endanger your life. If you are an unregistered caller , you will be either disconnected under the name of being a traitor, completely getting your powers taken away or you will have to give a really strict and difficult examination proving your loyalty."
"That's the gist of crime of being an unregistered caller."
The chibi Aarav disappears
Back to the present
"Although having my powers taken away would be a good way to end this façade, the aftermath the government and the public would inflict on everyone around me isn't worth the risk."
Evelyn once again bows down in the same position on the sofa.
"I REALLY DIDN'T MEAN ANY OF THIS TO HAPPEN , PLEASE BELIEVE ME!"
"You-"
Beep Beep
The alarm starts to buzz up indicating their introduction stage is about to end up. Aarav pick up evelyn from her position and makes her sit straight such that both are directly facing each other.
"Listen carefully to what I am about to say.''
Some time later , Aarav and evelyn exit the room together to the main hall where all the callers are waiting for their decision .
"Seriously! What a bummer and here I thought things are finally starting to fire up.''
Aarav makes a really discouraged face while saying this sentence while evelyn only rubs her right hand finger against her cheek. Many callers start to whisper among themselves after hearing about their withdrawal for the next stage.
After a few seconds, Aarav jumps at a really high distance directly landing on the DJ.
"Anyways! Ladies and Gentlemen, since your fellow friend has been dumped down. Help me light up the pace and mood now , will you! "
Right after Aarav finishes his sentence , the callers laugh amongst themselves. Aarav immediately starts the DJ and plays a fun dancing song. He grabs a female caller who appears to be a little left out among the crowd and initiates a dance with her. Soon , things get really lively as all the callers start to enter the party mode, dancing in pairs eating food ,opening bottles .etc.
"Talk about flexing your social skills." Thinks evelyn as she hurries towards the exit while making sure that she doesn't bumps or interacts with anyone, as she keeps walking forward she senses something bright approaching her.
She turns around only to witness the red haired caller which she previously landed on is approaching her at a really fast pace.
