Three people were sitting at a table, eating breakfast. The mother had black eyes and hair, quite short in stature and clearly of Asian descent. She looked around 30 years old, although she was 38. The father was a slim man, with modern glasses. His eyes were a dark green with brown short hair, he was quite tall but not overly so. He clearly looked his age, at 35. The third was the daughter. She looked young, 1.56 m tall (5'1"). Her hair color was black and eye color green.
They are the Young family, the father named John, the mother Setsuko and the daughter Setsu, named after her grandmother. The parents looked happy, clearly because of the commercial playing on the screen.
They had been very busy with the finishing touches of the Tabletop Dungeon, and trying to not tell their daughter the specifics of the game because she was very curious. Today is the day where it will be released, and none of them can wait for it.
They're happy that they were able to get one for their daughter, so she can finally see what they have been so busy with the last few years. It should be arriving today, somewhere soon. They were sure their daughter would be very successful with it.
Setsu couldn't wait for the doorbell to ring. She was basically hopping in her seat in anticipation.
"So honey, have you decided which way to start yet?" Her mother asked her.
"Yeah! I was thinking of making sure the surface level is sufficient before starting on the actual dungeon though, so I have a proper foundation for the Intelligent Life on the top level to thrive."
"Very good sweetheart, you need to make sure everything runs smoothly." Her father replied.
"Are you sure you can't give me any hints of the possibilities?"
"You know we can't dear, you will have to figure it out yourself. And don't you think us giving it all away would make it less fun for you?"
"I guess you're right, but I'm just so excited to start"
"You'll get to start soon honey, just a little more waiting. What about you make sure the room is ready to install the Tabletop Dungeon, and that you have enough space to move around?"
"All right, I'll go check now!"
Setsu ate the last of her sandwich and got off the table after putting her plate and glass in the kitchen. She went out of the kitchen through the dining room, which were connected to the living room and walked into the hallway. To her left were the stairs, straight forward was the door outside, and to the right, her destination. She opened the door and arrived in the room they cleared out specifically to place the Tabletop Dungeon.
The room was quite big, with a window, couch a very conspicuous table with a hole in the middle and a computer in the corner on a desk. It used to be a spare bedroom, but they emptied it out when the game was announced. Her parents knew the game was coming way before that, but they didn't need to clear it out immediately. Now, everything was ready for the game to arrive, she even had air conditioning in the room for comfort.
She went on the computer and looked through a few emails and checked if her homework was done, before the doorbell rang. She basically ran out the door to the front door, and opened it, to see her friend Linda Moore had arrived.
"Hahaha, did you think your package arrived? I'm sorry for bursting your bubble."
"Ohhhh, I'm so excited, but I'm still happy to see you. And yeah, you're right, I was hoping it was the package, but we did already agree you would be coming over to see it with me today."
"You better remember! We made this agreement ages ago! Although the only reason I got interested in the Tabletop Dungeon is you and your parents, doesn't mean I'm not as serious about it as you are."
"Did you get permission to buy a Tabletop Dungeon as well?"
"I did! Though it won't arrive the same day as yours, because you've already pre-ordered one for a while."
"Please, show me how you progressed yours as well, and when we get the chance, let's play together sometimes!"
"Of course!"
The doorbell rang again, and this time they both raced for the door.
