@ Tsukkomi: This is reminding me of the whole "No, just a bear" exchange.

@ Zero: We all saw it.

But try not to read into it too much.

I'm beginning to remember why I never liked Chelsea.

I know this might be a stupid question and maybe it was properly explained but I'm gonna ask nonetheless.

...why the fuck are they saying they're leveling up? I mean...I get what it means, that's obvious. But why are we using video game terminology?! Is this secretly a video game? Are they fan of video games? Is this a parody of video games?

...like...why?

[up]Yeah, that's really bothering me too. I mean, it'd work if this were clearly D&D inspired, like Bastard, but here it just comes off as random.

I think the level up stuff is a dub addition.

The RPG lingo is only slightly less weirder than "trump cards" and "danger beasts"

It seemed like a one-off thing when that one Mook used vidya gaem jargon, but now from Najenda? Hm.

And now, time for a different kind of intruder: Migi! grin

... TOM 4 vs. the Intruder. I already know where this one is going.

@ Great: I'm getting Beet the Vandel Buster vibes from all of this lingo being used straight in the real world (as opposed to SAO, where it was silly but justified).

Probably too late to ask but... is Chelsea a Spy? The Spy?

Yep, I'm still here.

[up]#26288: I suppose in a way it makes sense and doesn't at the same time to me. I mean in my story, while it's not part of the dialogue/narration proper, I use 'Level' instead of Chapter for each chapter, and after a certain point, the characters do make liberal use of the word 'pwn', though even that would be less weird, now that I think on it. What gamer wouldn't use the word 'pwn' from time to time if they felt so inclined?

So, if we're going for TF2 comparisons, who's the Scout? Seryu?
