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?

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.

[dapples]

Really? Oh jeez. That doesn't sound good.

[tot]

Maybe not.
Or, maybe I'm also overthinking things.
That's easy to do nowadays with everything going on in the game.

[dapples]

No kidding ...
At least it's comforting to know I'm not the only one feeling on edge.

[tot]

Unfortunately, I think a lot of us are on edge.
It's upsetting to think that we might start having to truly worry about our personal safety with the game.

[dapples]

Not just our own safety ... but the safety of those we love who play this game as well.

[ love?????????????? ]

[tot]

[ love??????? ]

I didn't realize you were close to other people playing this game, Brambles.
Some how I got the impression that this was completely foreign to you.

[dapples]

[ FFFHDJFHDFDHSJFNKDS ]

It is! I mean, the gaming
But um
Caring for people isn't all that foreign
Is it?

[tot]

[ he did this to himself. ]

It isn't!
I love plenty of people.
But loving people who play this game is a bit different, especially the kind of love.

[dapples]

How is it different? It's just... caring about people... who play the game... >_<

[ he is truly digging a hole ]

[tot]

[ rest in fuckin' pieces brambles. ]

I mean caring for someone in the romantic sense and then caring for someone in the platonic sense.
Or even caring for someone for purely sensual reasons.

I'm sure you've heard about that sort of thing.

[dapples]

I

[ UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ]

I care about everyone [ DEFLECT! MUST DEFLECT!!! ]

[tot]

Somehow I'm getting the feeling that there's someone who is a bit more important than others.
It's okay!
I think that's beautiful.

[dapples]

[ !! ]

I'm not going to lie ... I'm really impressed you can tell.
But that also makes me a little nervous ...

[tot]

You don't have to worry.
I've have a lot of practice dealing with all sorts of people in chats during my streams.

Plus - you kind of gave yourself away just now.

[ cough. she was slightly bluffing to see..... good job son. ]

[dapples]

You must be an expert on reading internet messages ...

[ HE MEANS THAT, GENUINELY ]

Now I feel embarrassed. o///o

[tot]

I'd hope so.
I've spent a lot of time streaming these past two years and I have a lot of fans that I want to make sure I understand. :-)

But it's okay Brambles!!
You don't have to tell me who, of course, I truly think it's beautiful that you've found someone to care for in this game.

[dapples]

The person in question doesn't even know it... but I'm not sure I have any plans to change this.

[ spoilers: there will, in fact, be plans to change this ]

Thanks for the kind words though. I feel quite silly, really.

[tot]

You're welcome, Brambles.
And I say, if you think that they feel the same and there might be something truly there, you should go for it!!
Life is too short to not try to make the most of it with people who mean the most to you.

[dapples]

It's true... life is short.
But some things just aren't meant to be, I don't think.

[ it would be easier to feel optimistic if said person didn't live overseas and The Gay wasn't an internalised struggle... ]

[tot]

[ boy is uta the best person to talk to about this. ]

What do you mean?

[dapples]

There are obstacles, aren't there? Distance... and other things.
It's a nice thought, but I try to stay realistic.

[tot]

All relationships come with obstacles.
I've had some people tell me that a successful long distance relationship are some of the strongest.

[dapples]

I suppose that's a credible theory.
Although I've never been in a relationship myself before.
Not even in person, yet alone online.
