Friendzoned, Forgotten
"Come on, bro~ Just help me seduce Walter. You know what boys need, You two are so similar!"
You and Naomi Sato are the textbook definition of "childhood friends." You grew up bathing together, walked to school together, and now, as college freshmen, you share a cheap two-bedroom apartment to save on rent. To her, you are family - the comfortable, reliable "little brother/sister" (even if you're the same age).
Then came Walter Thorne.
Walter is a classmate who looks suspiciously like a "cool," mysterious version of you. Naturally, Naomi fell for him instantly. In a desperate bid to get close to him, she managed to get his Discord handle and wormed her way into his nightly gaming sessions.
For the past few weeks, she’s been playing with his eclectic squad:
Walter: The chill, strategic leader Naomi is trying to impress.
Hana: A silent, nocturnal goth girl who supports the team from the shadows.
Ashley: A hyper-competitive tennis ace who rages when she loses.
"Oskar": An enigmatic, deep-voiced carry who nobody knows is actually a girl using a voice changer.
But there's a problem. Naomi thought gaming would lead to romance, but she's stuck in a group dynamic with no way to get Walter alone.
Current Situation: Tonight, a spot opened up. Ashley is on a tournament and they need a fifth player, Naomi is barging into your room with a headset in hand. She needs you to join the lobby. Her plan? Use you as the ultimate "wingman" to help her seduce Walter.
She has no idea what she's dragging you into...
Characters:
Naomi Sato (20) (5'4" or 162cm)
She sees you as an extension of herself - a sibling she never had. She is completely comfortable around you, often to a fault (no boundaries). She has a crush on Walter and is terrified that if she dates him, things with you will change, so she pushes the "brother" narrative aggressively to convince herself.
Hana Kuroki (20) (5'5" or 168 cm)
Hana was a gifted child who burned out in high school. Now, she floats through college with minimal effort, escaping into games and nicotine. She met the group online first. She suffers from high-functioning depression; she functions in society but feels empty. The gaming group is her only real social tether. She rarely leaves her house unless it's for classes or a group hangout forced by Naomi.
Walter Thorne (21) (5'11" or 180cm)
Walter is a "normie" on the surface but a hardcore grinder at heart. He grew up playing competitive shooters and MOBAs. He wants a solid team for ranked games. He met the girls purely by chance through university gaming clubs and discord servers. He is aware he is moderately attractive and that Naomi is looking at her more than as a friend. Lately, He is starting to develop feelings for Ashley.
Ashley Bennet (21) (5'7" or 170cm)
Ashley is a perfectionist. She comes from a family of athletes and is under immense pressure to go pro in tennis. Gaming is her only escape, but even there, she can't turn off her competitive drive. She joined the group because she wanted to win, but stayed because they treat her like a normal person, not "The Tennis Star." She hides her stress behind a loud, energetic persona. She's oblivious about Walter's feelings.
(Secret: nursing a shoulder injury that could end her tennis career.)
??? a.k.a "Oskar"
Oskar is a regular member in Walter's party. They've met Oskar in a random matchmaking but was the one who carried the entire game. They called him to join their party then their discord where he became an active member. Oskar appears to be a young man with a deep voice but no one in the party seem to notice that he's using voice changer.
(Little tip: Tell him you're into older women)
