Two and a half demoralizing moments in VRChat

For a Friday (remembering Rocket saying last Friday was the final BB meeting), I thought it was going to be just a normal day. Infact I tried to sleep infront of my computer (from boredom, and feeling pissed that I still failed to help with the final boss).
Sometime later, I said to myself “Enough sleeping my life away, I’m going to try to solo those horror maps!” And started with HDS Big Sister’s Dungeon (being the first in the Huggi Dungeon Series).
As I was solving the multi door puzzle, Klaus asks me to come into Creepery’s world for some reason. Ugh, why Klaus? This better be important, bud. Accepted his request and went there.

He told me of a meeting about to start. A meeting, for the AUFF? So why is it here in Creepery’s world? I decided to go with it instead of ask questions, while also a bit nervous as I’m standing on stage with him and a few others (as he never DM’d me in Discord and said this, nor was I told what I need to talk about).
Instead, it was the shortest meeting that I remember. Also, because Creepery and Klaus are allied with eachother, they apparently do their own meetings at the same time. I was asked if I had anything to say, but said no.
There’s actually one thing I should had said, and that’s about this ‘script kiddie’ that tried to ‘prove his worth’ to Klaus a few days ago, and how Klaus told me that he was thinking about locking the AUFF Discord server similar to how the BB Discord did to keep Ashi out. But he hasn’t done anything about it. So, that’s why I didn’t say it.

So now we’re preparing to do a full scale raid against Uganda, Klaus telling everyone to get a Best Boi with a weapon. Still have Red Boi with his walking stick, so he’s all set.
Then the raid is on, and we’re pretending to ‘kill’ the Ugandan Knuckle menace. As the battle raged on, myself and several others took the boat portal to the big island (with that house). I was the first to be there, yelling “DIE UGANDANS!!”.. just hoping they would play along, but all they did was talk infront of the mirror. Then the others showed up and we started attacking them. But instead of them screaming for their lives, one’s all “just ignore them”. And of course, that killed the mood for me. But we managed to get someone extremely annoyed at us. Yay. Thought any second this person was going to start reporting us for harassment when the ghost Uganda stopped moving.
Why are we doing this!? They aren’t doing anything wrong! And this has been stuck in my mindset ever since.

Back at spawn (after eventually driving them off), we tried to board this weird shaped plane where the cockpit has a portal. Some of us (including myself) managed to figure out how to get up there. Before us was a parkour course. Tried it once.. and it’s next to impassible. The platforms are at the same level as the platform we’re standing on. The only ones able to do it, seen to be the ones that have somehow hacked gravity in their SDK (or something) and are able to float.
As I’m standing on the platform (with ten others), a Wakuganda shows up. With that ‘Best Boi hunting party’ thing still going on, I point my walking stick at it and say “Stay back, Wakuganda!” A few seconds after that, I hear someone say “…did someone say ‘stay back’??”
*deep sighs*
Five minute pass after that highly embarrassing moment, then one of the fighters shows up telling us that the raid was ‘successful’. Yeeeah, right. Whatever. I’m just glad this stupid thing is over. Because if this is going to be a requirement to keep my mod job..
“Fuck this shit, I’m out!”

Went back to Creepery’s world, where Klaus was congratulating all of us on a ‘victory’ over the Ugandans, driving most of them out of the world. I still wonder if this will eventually bite us in the ass, being reminded (with Klaus telling a member about AUFF’s history) that Kibble had signed a PEACE AGREEMENT with them.. yet we’re breaking it by raiding them again (and they did NOTHING to warrant it).
If they started annoying others again with their clucking, then yes! And why are we after the Ugandans anyway? Shouldn’t we be taking the fight to this ‘Best Boi hunting party’?
So many questions…
.
I did eventually get back to soloing Big Sister’s Dungeon (not fully though, Klaus wanted to call me and several others. I swear the guy is lonely and needs his Social bar raised a lot). But before that, I spent.. two hours trying to decipher the message at the spawn area. Now I see why it took Sir.Rivers so long to do.

HCS Big Brother’s Hideout V2, ‘is’ the scariest VRChat horror map

Yesterday, I have co-oped with a friend to complete what is known as the scariest VRChat world ever created. The acting and voices, were.. wow. The creator fucking nailed it. It’s like these guys are professional actors. Even the animations, were beautiful. You swear this was in another game, but no. And what’s the scariest part, is the actors in this world know of the players’ existence (and break the 4th wall a lot). They also expect you to not be soloing the world (though it’s possible, it also ruins it if you don’t have friends).

It starts off like any other horror map; slowly building up the tension. But for Desktop users (like myself and my friend), the early jumpscares weren’t really that bad. But, there’s one part where you have 2 minutes and 30 seconds to solve a puzzle.. or the world is destroyed and you have to create a brand new instance.
Watching a few YouTubers fail the first time, made our first attempt a lot less of that ‘wow, fuck this world, that shit was demoralizing as FUCK!’ feeling. They too didn’t know what the fuck to do, but on the second attempt, it finally became clear what the answer was. And after you pass this, thankfully you don’t have to go through that again.
The later half of this world, is when Big Brother spices things up and uses a typical human beings’ fears against you. And fuck, did it work on me. I wanted to get the fuck out of that world!
There was this one part, where my friend went in one door and went in the other, and both of us had to get out, attempting to face our fear of the unknown. The room shaking as you approach, a creepy person slowly turning around to face you, and then screaming at you (while running towards you).
NOPE!! NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE!!! And I could imagine for VR, it would be a living nightmare (to the point they’ll probably throw their $400+ headset off). That’s the real challenge right there.
But one of the scariest parts (where I remember screaming bloody murder) is seeing something on the floor, then walking down a corridor.. turning around and seeing the thing behind me. Then suddenly it comes running at me and I get jumpscared. Fuuuuuuck that was scary.
I’m not doing this world again. 😛 Though it also had mentioned in the end, that changes have happened to a few of the main public worlds and to not go to them (similar to the whole ‘Mister Whiskers’ event).
Though, checking these mentioned worlds, I saw nothing. But maybe it’ll happen at a later date?

…That bring positive changes to the AUFF. :)

It seems, for the first time since I joined VRChat, that my words actually carry weight. Infact, Klaus was close to closing down the AUFF because of what I had said last night (he actually saw the proof).
After going over how I felt and stuff, I told him that I wasn’t going to leave the AUFF; that all I wanted was to see more activity. I also learned that Creepery’s community, isn’t as massive as I thought. Infact it’s as dead as ours.
That is highly surprising. The way they were acting around him, you would think they would be “all hall King Creepery!!” And I would turn around and be all “he doesn’t really need me anymore”.

Apparently, I was wrong and actually should had spoke up to him. He’s also worried about the AUFF getting too big, and being more popular. And Klaus was worried the same thing with Creepery’s community.
I could say “let’s just combine both communities into one”… but that would solve nothing. It would only make things worse. Instead, let’s just make the AUFF a more viable alternative to the BB Discord server. And Klaus’ answer was to add a bunch of Discord bots (which so far is boosting morale).
The only thing I worry about, is if Klaus makes me the head mod as a way to thank me. No, thank you. I don’t want that level of responsibility.

‘King Creepery’, and why ‘demoralizing’ has replaced ‘drama’

Creepery has been my best friend since I met him. But since yesterday… I’m having one of those ‘oh woe is me, everything is changing around me, I hate this game’ moments, where I wallow in my own self pity. *sighs* And also discovering I can’t even run Windows Mixed Reality on my POS computer, didn’t help my mood.

Most of the day went to trying to make a Best Boi for Sir.Rivers to download as a .unitypackage when I was done with it (and I would get the Dutchie after it). But given my edit of the previous post, this is (thankfully) no longer needed.
After seeing Rivers’ eye beams working, we hung out in a few worlds. He got bored and asked if any of my other friends were on, and I saw Creepery in his world. Decided to pay him a visit.. and I really wish I didn’t (as it really sucked my enjoyment of this game, out of me). Brought Rivers with me, though.
Crowd of Best Bois around Creepery, as he’s talking about changes coming to his world. This isn’t the part that demoralized me. It was sometime after he decided to show his ‘secret’ snow biome. It looks quite nice, but clearly it needs work (and he knows about it).
He then respawned to bring another friend of his, while we explored the rest of this twisty snow biome.
Checking out this giant billboard that said “Please pardon our Best Boi mess” (rolled my eyes at that part). Ahh, Creepery. With your thoughts of a community being a ‘family’. BLEH! All you guys are, are a bunch of people I met on the internet! That’s all! There is no fucking ‘family’ crap!

Digressing aside, Creepery showed up with that friend. They stayed in a circle (while I stayed outside). And he’s all “I will do everything in my power to make sure the drama doesn’t happen again”. Taking about Kibble, and how “the king has left, so I’ll become the new king”. Even said that someone’s going to be doing a king avatar for him.
That… was enough for my ears. The very thought of ‘King Creepery’, even though he’s my friend.. I am NOT going to bow down to you! And it looked like the group were kissing his ass, and one saying “we need more people like you”. Looking at this from another perspective, it makes me wonder why Creepery is even a mod of the AUFF (and should be part of the AUFF alliance). Can he really handle moderating one community, and running the other? Seriously?

He talked about how inactive the BB mods were, which I agree (but didn’t want to speak), and he feels if they’re AFK for two weeks.. kick them. Only TWO WEEKS?! The MRT Server will allow you to be AFK for a MONTH without having to report in (and they do WorldEdits and shit)! I seriously wanted to say something, but I.. didn’t. I felt, why bother? I’m not going to be part of his community anyway (as he’s bringing those stupid laggy-ass meetings back).
Creepery just isn’t seeing what I saw, of why Kibble wants to shut the server down. He was sick of the drama, he couldn’t trust anyone (because we’re all children), and didn’t want to be a part of it anymore.
Creepery is ignoring this, seeing it as ‘weakness’ (just like Jrock). It probably is, and that’s why I wanted to walk away (and hide) from this conversation. I’m glad you want to keep the Best Boi name alive… but it’s pretty much over for me. The caring in me, died a LONG time ago dude. I’m literally like Kibble right now. If this means I’m weak.. so be it.

I even said (in this blog), that I didn’t even want to be a part of another community. I always make myself look bad in them, with how fucking childish my brain is (just like the Hyena Discord server, of leaving my clan all because they wanted to do changes to RP that I didn’t like.. and made an ass of myself there as well, with even Darn telling me to stop).

I don’t belong in a community, period. And the only reason I’m staying with the AUFF,
is.. I’ve already said the reason. And even with that, I don’t see this community lasting that long. Not because of what Rocket said about the vote, but.. the place is rather dead (as in, only a few people post, compared to Creepery’s happy community). I don’t even have to be a part of it, to see the constant messages from his community when he’s sharing his screen with me.
Why am I a mod for a dead as a doornail community? We have 100+ members, but hardly anyone talks. Even the people that I’ve ranked up to the ‘AUFF Recruits’ rank, hardly any of them thank me for greeting them. Surely Creepery is seeing this, yet doesn’t want to say anything to me.
I hope Klaus doesn’t do what Creepery does (by acting like the AUFF is ‘one big happy family’ (of Knuckles murderers). I just wish the community was more active.
What’s the point of watching a chat that hardly moves?

I don’t know what the future holds (and/or if I ever (in my pathetic lifetime) get a system that can support VR), but if/when I do leave the AUFF (and never join another unofficial community for as long as I live), that Klaus will accept my decision.

The things I do to help people with their avatars…

Yesterday was quite busy for me in VRChat, even somewhat soloing a quite hardcore-style horror map. There’s one part where you have to solve this puzzle as this guy slowly comes towards you. And if he gets you… the world is deleted, and you have to create a new instance (via portal) and start from the beginning.
That, is some genius world-making skill! Demoralizing.. but still genius!

Moving on, I had to help Creepery (as promised) with making a mirror that can be toggled with a button. This unfortunately had a lot of delays, but was able to give him instructions I wrote down for myself (incase I ever forgot how to do it).
Klaus also wanted my help with his avatar, but sadly I wasn’t able to (as I was too busy helping Creepery). And he managed to successfully get his toggable mirror. Yay!

And then there’s a Dutchie that goes by the name of ‘Sir.Rivers’, who wanted to know how to do the eye beams that BenieTheDragon Boi has. But after what felt like 2-3 hours of debugging issues, he still couldn’t get it. And this, flabbergasts me that it won’t work, with what I see from his shared screen, is a carbon copy of the settings I use! So how in the fuck are they not working for him?! What the fuck did the devs DO to the fucking SDK!?

It just doesn’t make sense! So, I’ll give him my animation (so he can see if there’s anything that we might had overlooked), while at the same time.. I’m going to… UGH.. *grits teeth*… get. Kaelygon’s. Dutchie. *grumble*
Oh how low I’ll go to help a friend out. But, it’s the only way I’ll be able to efficiently help him (using the same model). Hell, it could be an issue with the model (as he said, that maybe Kael didn’t anticipate anyone would want to do eye beams).

Also, something I thought of while in bed. That giving him my animation, actually wouldn’t work (without him grabbing my model and all the accessories). Only way it’ll work, is I need to redo what I’ve done with the default Best Boi model. This way (he also plans to get the Best Boi model), the commands in the animation will be pointing exactly for both people.

Speaking of that smug bastard, I actually decided to meet him (after seeing you know who in a world with a few of my friends), and he saw my model for the first time. He acted like he was.. impressed of the effort I put into it. Wow.
He also offered some free advice, of the wing claws (how I told him I tried to do a wing flap animation, and it wouldn’t work right). He said to weight paint them, and they should move with the wings. So I might try that one day. Don’t think it’s going to work, but I’ll try it.
Kael (and a friend of his), also were preforming pushups using my horns on my head as bars. Hilarious. Unfortunately I never took a picture of it.

.
UPDATE: Rivers got his eye beams to work, by literally doing the reverse that I taught him.. wow. And the more I thought about it, I realized where I fucked up. I did indeed do it in reverse. So, piss!!
Still baffled me of why in the fuck I’m still being allowed to do it this ‘old way’ (when it doesn’t work anymore). Then a thought came to me. What if this is some sort of ‘legacy mode’, so it won’t break the animation? If so, that is quite awesome of them. 🙂
..But the best thing out of all of this? I don’t have to download the Dutchie!! WOOT!! :mrgreen: I can stay as a 100% pure bred BenieTheDRAGON(not Dutchie) Boi! ..even if it means no firebreath. However, I did find a flamethrower weapon.. 😉
So since I can’t do firebreath, I have something that can.

What separated Frumple from Kibble; a proposed ‘belligerent dissent’ rule

So as most as you all know (if you’ve been following the news I’ve been posting), the Best Boi server (and Discord server) will be shutting down next month (with a memorial server taking its place). This server will have portals to the other servers (but they’ll be private, aka you won’t be able to look for them in the Worlds list, but you can make them your home (and/or a favorite) if you so wish).
And you probably know what happened. However, this isn’t the only community I’m a part of that hasn’t had its own taste of drama. Though this community isn’t in VRChat, but in Minecraft– the MRT(Minecraft Rapid Transit) Server, and wow has it been a long time since I’ve talked about them.

Though, there really isn’t that much to say anymore about the vanilla Minecraft server. However, both communities are similar (for two things).
1. Both communities do meetings (except the mods of the MRT do a private meeting before the public, where the BB mods stick with a public-only meeting, only reserving ‘private meetings’ for Mod Chat).
2. Drama. It’s here and there, it’s everywhere. It’s even in your hair(or fur, so take a shower you filthy animal! Scrub that drama out with anti-drama shampoo!).

“Look at me still digressing when there’s blogging to do!”
Where was I? Oh yes. So the MRT has had its share of drama (myself being a part of some of it.. that I wish I could erase). But as I said before, the mods have dealt with it. They have also dealt with issues that feel like myself and others trying to show that the mods were corrupt.
So now Frumple (the owner of the MRT Server) has proposed a new rule that he calls.. “belligerent dissent”. You can read this lengthy proposal (in your own free time), by clicking here. And please do so, for this proposal… shows exactly where the Best Boi community went downhill (and why I should had been punished for wanting to defend it). I’m serious.

Ever since the aftermath of the plaque incident (when Charms slammed down hard on us to try to make us wake up), I actually agreed (with others) that we needed more mods like him; mods that took no shit from anyone. Mods that would be strict. But, how strict is too strict?
What Frumple proposes of this ‘belligerent dissent’, is to pretty much flat out warn you for complaining about the rules, the staff.. or even how the server is being ran.
Now, imagine in an alternate universe, that Kibble was very active with the community. And a week after the plaque incident, he would slap us with this. Imagine what would happen against people like John, people like Sneaky.. people like me. We’d be banned, that’s what would happen! And guess what? We actually needed this, because it possibly would had ended the kindergarten behavior of the community.

It would had been a much, much stronger community.. than it is now. The mods, taking no shit from anyone. Would it feel harsh? Hell yeah. Would I be pissed of being banned? Of course!! And I probably would had uninstalled VRChat and never touched it again!
But as I just said, we needed that harshness. And I would eventually come back.

Frumple is going to keep his community alive, while Kibble… is just letting it die of a slow painful death.

Rocket’s meeting was.. actually better than expected

We assembled on the ‘lag-free’ server, and I was pretty much ready for anything (while also standing by my AUFF community, to show my support).
Since I’m a mod, I really need to get an AUFF beret for my Boi’s (and have the AUFF logo on Red Boi’s backpack). Perhaps a WWII’ish American guard badge on my chest. Those would be good. 🙂

Anyway, so the meeting started. No one was allowed to stream it, as she wanted the ones that were here to be the only ones that know. But she explained later on, it was to show just how many still care for what’s left of the community.
Though everything was calm and peaceful. Rocket explained that ‘TrashyPaws’ is back, and is (surprise surprise) causing more drama. She warned us with our own communities, to watch out for him (to not befriend him, etc, etc). Yeah, I know the drill with ‘you know who’, and I’ll be damned if I let him taint the AUFF with his crap.

And finally, the moment we’ve been waiting for (with the whole “going down in Best Boi history” thing), she wants to do a Best Boi music video, which would show others who aren’t familiar with them, to know what we were and how we survived (to the very end). She also reminded us that we were the first to sell merch of our community, in this game (yay for capitalism!.. lmao).
Another thing is, you can now freely post pictures of any kind in the BB Discord general chat now (of course, nothing NSFW).
And how to get into this aforementioned music video, is to send a DM to her that you’re interested. She also asked people who would be interested to gather around her, and a lot did (including my AUFF brothers). Though I hesitated, (because of how I still felt around her after that ‘conversation’ in that Discord group chat, how she claimed I didn’t care enough), but I decided to go over with them (again, to show my support for my new community.. not for the old one).
And that was pretty much it. I’m extremely glad it wasn’t anything to worry about, and it all worked out at the end.

Speaking of the plushie, I’ve received an update early this morning from Budsies, saying they’re now in the ‘quality control stages’ (probably to make sure there’s no loose seams, they’re all uniform, etc). And when they pass their inspection, they’ll be shipped to the backers.
No known delivery date (so this could possibly last through most of August, who knows). Still, I remain patient.

Posted in PC | Comments Off on Rocket’s meeting was.. actually better than expected

Seems I (still) can’t have nice things, but I’m not giving up (yet)…

An hour of writing down figures for the animation.
4+ hours of doing the firebreath particle effect.
3+ hours of doing the animation.
… 0 seconds for VRChat to take a shit all over the effort I made.

I feel like just leaving it like that and hitting the Publish button, because apparently the game cares nothing about effort. Instead, it’s all “use Blender and make blend shapes”, which god damn Kibble did the fucking Best Boi model where nothing works after exporting from Blender!!
And what I mean by effort, is I wanted it to actually look like effort was put in.

This is what it was supposed to look like ingame. Eyes narrow and the jaw opened. There, the particle emitter would kick on, releasing fiery death.

Instead (ingame), it looks like I’m only ‘slightly annoyed’ instead of ‘you fry now’;

I have tried to rebind this to another emote key. I have tried to disable the looping. I have made sure it was still working in the Animator.. not working ingame.

So what the fuck happened that ruined all of that effort? As I said earlier, it was the way Kibble did the model (in Maya instead of Blender). What I want to do, requires ‘blend shapes’. I would love to learn how to do this (if I could find a good tutorial), and if it wasn’t for the fact every animation FUCKING BRICKS ITSELF after exporting from Blender!!

The meeting is just over an hour from now, and even if I was to painstakingly re-add all the animations as ‘blend shapes’ (this might be the only option to get them working again), I won’t have enough time to pull this off.

Thankfully (or maybe unthankfully, depending on the sitation) I still have Red Boi (with his walking stick). So this could be his ‘weapon’ if shit goes down there, and in the near future, I (hopefully) can still get what I want, without these time constraints.
Then again, if it was that easy, someone would had already shown how to do it (and even Kaelygon would had released a Blender-safe Best Boi).
I think I might be out of luck here. Probably am, and there’s no point to try (especially with the tail, ears.. even the idle animation that I’m pretty sure won’t be possible to fix with blend shapes).

Uma is fully branded! / A not so normal BB meeting tomorrow

Yesterday I finally got someone to brand Umawarrior in Deliverance. This means, I’ve finally accomplished something I was pretty sure wasn’t possible in Wurm; the kindness of strangers, who are willing to work with me (and accept my desire to receive a branding without being part of a deed).
It’s really awesome of them. However, I still worry that one of these days of getting Uma out of the cage (when she’s venerable), that she’ll immediately croak (due to a bug) even though she’s been cared for on that server. And what’s worse, I won’t be able to ‘bring her back to life’ (by going to the GMs and be all “she died TO A BUG!! Please bring her back!” since a change to the game, erases the info of the horse from all servers (which the GMs need to do so, like what happened to all of my stuff in my backpack last year).

Now I did mention that I’ll be going back to Xanadu (on horseback) when Wurm Spring arrives again. And though it’s here, the desire to do so has died off (and the desire to do nothing but mope/sigh all around my deed, is more ‘interesting’). This mood isn’t anything new, and it isn’t worth making a post about it (as it’s happened way too many times).


In VRChat news, there’s actually going to be a Best Boi meeting tomorrow (the usual times of 4pm and 8pm EDT), even despite the server ending next month. But, this strange meeting is also raising a lot of red flags.
How so? Rocket claims she’s going to be doing it all by herself, by saying this in the BB Discord server;

“Mods don’t even know what it’s about, it’s a nice big surprise.”
Hmm… I wonder what it could be about? Maybe a nice big surprise ‘shutdown we’re doing it early’? Or a nice big surprise mass-ban to the ones she feels caused the community to die? Oooh BOY! Can’t wait to see the political mudslinging!
/sarcasm

In her announcement (to tell everyone about the meeting), even more sketchy and unnerving things were said;

“if you want to go down in Best Boi history…? o_O
What the FUCK are you playing at, Rocket?! Is this some kind a thing where you’re giving us the option of sacrificing ourselves ‘for the greater good’?
Or, maybe it could be a plaque (or a statue), showing the ones that cared for the server?

It literally could be anything, good or bad. It could be a treat, or it could be a trap. In any case, this is the perfect time to ‘arm myself’ by creating that new firebreath animation for BenieTheDragon Boi (that I once mentioned 3 or so months ago). It’ll still look stupid (simply opening up the mouth and expelling fire), but it’s the best I can do without VR.
—-
I’ll take a few pics once its done.

EDIT: Twitchin dropped a drama bomb in the BB Discord, sarcastically asking “I assume every best Boi is aloud at this meeting or only specific ones are not aloud?”
That would be funny, if it weren’t.. so sad. Twichin, you’re older than this. Act your age, not your shoe size!

Guard Benie, front and center! / Trust re-issues

A day after a hell of a mess happening infront of me (that I never asked for). I wasn’t even sure if I should even bother posting this. But I feel I owe it to you folks of what has happened after that… something beyond ‘shitshow’ (not sure if that’s possible).
And honestly, nothing much has really happened (which is good). I also promoted my first person to AUFF Recruit. Was pretty cool.

There also was an issue where I was forced to use my authority on a few would be troublemakers in the AUFF breaking the rules. Yet, I don’t really know if they were.
Pretty sure I’m in the same position as Creepery was when he first started, not wanting to screw up. Though I do have experience of being a mod on the MRT Server, I’m trying my best not to let that old “protect the server at all costs, from everything” attitude I had back then, fuck with my decision-making.
Like this one guy who’s posting an NSFW quote in the Quotes channel (yet it was related to Ice). I got on him, yet one of the ‘medics’ said to let it go (after I had told the person about the rules). And apparently, that wasn’t the problem.. as someone else tried to be funny by posting a highly displeasing thing in general chat. So what I was going after, wasn’t what I should had been going after.
I should had reacted swiftly at him, but all I said was “we don’t really need to see that in here”. I’ll try to be a bit more aggressive next time. Though personally, there needs to be more clarified rules. Can’t base every single questionable post with ‘No NSFW’, as it won’t be fair to everyone. They’ll be confused what they’re being warned about.
Brought this up to Klaus, and all he said was “ya”. Like either he knows and he’ll get to it, or he’s expecting one of us to do it.

.
In slightly other news (while still watching the chat), there’s news that this ‘3rd party’ Uganda-like race (called ‘Wakganda’), are forming a ‘Best Boi hunting party’ alliance. So while the soldiers gear up and prep to do battle, myself and the other guards must stay at HQ and defend the borders.
Creepery (who’s also a guard), says “Shall we attack them as well” He wants a piece of them and I don’t blame him. But after Klaus called him an ally… I DM’d Creepery and attempted to confront him over that ‘conversation’ we all had. And just like when it came to the plaque incident….. “common sense was not used”. :/

Even Klaus knew that Creepery wasn’t actually agreeing to the mods, only trying to get them to shut up (to not be involved in this). Hoo boy do I hate myself for trying to get my revenge on Rocket (for her words about not caring for the community).
He wanted to distance himself from all of that, where I wanted revenge for being ignored for months. I honestly have nothing else to say about this, except.. I’m relieved that Creepery is still an ally (and I can trust him, of a world where I wasn’t sure I could even trust myself).
