As Gamer Privileges began to respond, Cedric prayed that it would be a yes. Fortunately, the notification popped up in the positive.
[Yes.]
Cedric exhaled in mild relief, though the answer didn't exactly make him feel better. He crossed his arms and rested his chin on one hand, sinking deeper into thought.
'If someone can send a message to me, I should be able to send one back, right? Gamer Privileges, can I also send a message to this Anastasya?'
It took a few seconds, but his attribute finally replied:
[Yes.]
'I mean, when I think about the definition of non-diegetics, the obvious answer is yes. But now I'm starting to worry. This looks remarkably similar to multiplayer mechanics where players message each other in-game.
'There is still so much about Gamer Privileges that I just don't know. From the start, the attribute itself has been weird; it treats everything as if I'm a player in some kind of game.'
He sighed.
