Hello Everyone!

I hope we're doing okay today and are enjoying the new root town. Remember to be careful on the bridges!

To get to the point of this post—Does everyone remember that post that Oriae made mentioning the bonus gear some of us got?

Well, I got some bonus gear myself, and I'll confirm that it wasn't CCCorp! Or anyone in this game...or "world". In fact I was told that it was cursed before being warned to stop using it or otherwise I'd be harmed.

Sounds kind of crazy doesn't it?

Really? I didn't notice!

I don't know about creepy though. Mine is very cool.

[tot]

Neither did I LOL.
But mine was too!! And fashionable!!
...except I don't think I'm going to keep using it.

[tylorific]

Oh? What's it look like?

you should do what you think is best.
but nothing bad has happened with mine though, so I'll keep using it.

[aphonik]

what the fuck. who told you that

i thought the desc on mine was weird as hell and they just gave me debuffed shit but where else did it come from then

[tot]

This might even crazier but...
Little sprites that I met in the game.
In the new root town, in fact.

[aphonik]

right
ya ok
shit coded into the game by the developers r telling you secrets
and you're believing them?

[secondthoughts]

Cursed? How?

[ sounds fake tbh ]

[tot]

[ extremely valid, honestly. ]

I didn't get a chance to ask them what they meant by that.
Unfortunately I got warped somewhere else before I could...

[secondthoughts]

Wait, you met them in game? It wasn't a message?

[ophidie]

[She reads the other replies, so she's at least caught up on what's already been discussed. So far it seems like the newest town has been implemented poorly all around.]

So, what, they're the result of some sort of hack or something? It's the only reason I can think of for something random recognizing they didn't fit.

I'd be curious to know exactly what kind of "harm" was being threatened.

[tot]

I don't know. Could be.
It's how these things kind of happen in the first place, right?
They told me that it just wasn't anything that was originally from the game.
...and something about how only two others are able to create things.

The mecha grunty that was clearing the skies said that there was a Flick Reaper using a twin blade running around that attacked it. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

[ophidie]

It'd have to be someone who had more than a working knowledge of the game. Specifically, I assume they'd need to understand the virtual reality technology pretty well, since that seems to be how all this customization was possible in the first place.

You'd think it'd be the admins who could do that, but I'd be surprised if they were given the reins to add stuff at will.

Do you trust this information?

If it wasn't CCCorp, then I wonder if it's whoever messed up the mirrors last week.

[tot]

[ ah. ]

I wonder too.
Except, for some reason, it doesn't feel like they would be the same.
Creating something and then doing /that/ are two different things.

[dissimulative]

well
i felt cursed using it
did i stash it away though
no
stats too good
and i can live with it

[tot]

Oh.
So you wouldn't consider it?
I'd hate for anything to happen to you.

I feel like that was pretty obvious deep down. Like, I would definitely call some of the gear effects I read about on that post curses.

Makes me wonder if they mean like...a virus, though. And the great stats are a draw to keep using infected gear.

[tot]

There were all kind of different effects on the gear, weren't there?
I'd say some of them were pretty personal but I don't know want to speak for everyone.

A virus certainly sounds like a surefire way to invite trouble onto yourself.

[regressive]

Cursed how?
If you don't want to share it here, I can message you privately.

[ Who dares to spook Uta, he will go after them :/ ]

[tot]

[ i'm in tears. ]

Unfortunately they never fully explained to me about what they meant by that.
But you can always message me privately anyway!
I'd love to hear from you.

o_O
Is this one of those, umm
"creepy pastas"?

[tot]

If only.
I kind of wish it was, but I don't think it is.

[tinged]

I haven't noticed anything strange with my gear www

Though from what I've observed, some of the gear seem more "cursed" than others. Did the sprites tell you why that is?

[tot]

That's good, at least. I'm glad that nothing has happened to you.
Unfortunately, no. I was teleported before I could ask too many questions.
