Worlds Apart

Chapter 1: Collabs Between Friends

"And I will see you....in the next video. Bu-bye!~"

Mark stared into the camera, his face lit up with a wide smile with his hand held in the familiar pose of waving from the side of his head.  He stayed like this for a few seconds before reaching over and turning the camera off with a sigh and a tired smile.  All the while running a hand through his ruby-red hair and down the side of his neck at the relief of finishing yet another recording.

His fans had been demanding him to keep up Markiplier Mondays ever since he had stopped doing them for a few weeks, and the American Youtuber was happy to oblige to their rambunctious demands.  Responding to the questions about his thoughts towards things and acting out ridiculous requests was a joy in itself without the need to impress his fans.  This was because it felt like he was communicating with everyone when he wasn't at a convention, and without the need to worry about crowds and crazy fangirls trying to tackle him to the floor with hugs.

Turning to his computer with another small sigh, Mark began to set up the video for editing. Matt had been busy lately and was unable to help with editing for a week or two - due to some issue that he failed to elaborate on - but Mark was happy to do the work himself for a small length of time.  It almost reminded him of back when he only had a couple thousand subscribers and had to do this all by himself before becoming such a big success in the Youtube community. It was pretty nostalgic when he thought about it for too long.

Letting his computer revise his video to prepare it for upload, Mark shifted his gaze over to the tabs off on the left side of his screen.  Watching from behind his glasses as he scrolled through the comments sections of some of his recent videos, he looked for a few key points on what to play in particular, as well as advice for other games.

Spying in another tab a notification that he'd been messaged caused Mark to stop scrolling and click over into the next tab.  His eyes squinting slightly before having a pleased smile appear on his face when he recognized the username on who had sent him the message.

jacksepticeye messaged you 1 minute ago:

Hey Mark, have you seen the new game Spiritual Plains yet?

I found it awhile ago while searching for something to play and saw that it's a multiplayer game with an unlimited amount of how many people can play it. Don't know how that works but hey! It's something we can collab on, am I right? ;P

The instructions and summary of how the game is and what the plot is are pretty vague, but I think it would be fun to collab with you and a few friends since nothing good has come out in quite a while, ya know? :)

Tell me what you think.

- Jack

Rereading over the message a second time, Mark smiled again and messaged back that he would check the game out and see if anyone else would like to join them.  A second of thought later, he also said that Bob and Wade were already ruled out because the both of them had things going on this week concerning their "lady friends" and wouldn't be able to attend.

Leaving that tab open after clicking send, Mark then opened a new one and searched into the browser Spiritual Plains game, watching as the blue circle came up next to his cursor and started to spin, showing that the browser was searching for results.

It took but only a few seconds, and Mark squinted at the screen as the results came up. Leaning forwards slightly as he scrolled down a bit, he read a few of the titles of the different sights before returning to the top of the screen with a confused expression, retyping the search in and furrowing his eyebrows when the same things came up once more.
