What. a. day. That’s all I can say about yesterday.
==============================================================
The Good, the Bad, and the OOF in SoT
==============================================================
Woke up at my usual time, ate breakfast, and then asked Blender if I “missed the stream”. He was very confused, so I tried explaining it to a form he’ll understand where he said that no Orion hasn’t messaged him yet to play SoT. Good! I didn’t miss it afterall! ..And Orion told me to go to bed early. Pfft. I know how to convert world time, and 2pm is when he starts it. So, I’m pretty set. 🙂
He wanted to call me. I was confused at first but I thought “oh wait, the video he wanted me to see about what happened” and accepted his request. Instead it was something else. He was explaining the work he’s been doing to the ‘road stage’ of the CEC Experience. Was quite cool, and I was telling him what a really awesome singer he is.
1:30pm came and he’s telling me Orion is now telling him to ‘get ready to set sail’, but he stays in the call until 1:40 when I feel like “we really should be getting in the call now”.
I followed him into the call. Saw a few people I didn’t know and some I somewhat remember. Orion told me the 4th person had to drop out early over something that came up. It’s like someone was listening to my wish and granted it, and now I can take the
spot. 🙂 Nice! 100% commendation on Chapter 5 here I come! 😁
Orion started using the music bot on their server, playing pirate-related music. We were waiting for Shaw to join us.
–
The time went past 2pm. It was nearly 2:30 when Shaw finally showed up. Good thing too. Orion was almost about to cancel it.
We got ingame, and it was like my mother was taking this as the absolute perfect time to bother the fuck out of me. I had to go AFK several times because she needed something. Fuck! And when I came back, it’s like Orion had no remorse for me. Sorry but my mother is being absolutely annoying right now, with her yanking me off my computer every chance she can get.
We got past Chapter 4 with only one issue of Shaw crashing for no reason before we were wrapping up the multi. And when he came back and used the statue to return to us, he was placed after the ship and nearly died. I stayed with Blender as he went AFK, then helped him find the next journal.
Nothing else major happened apart from me somehow had accidentally turned my push to talk on and the game wouldn’t let me turn it back off (even when I rebound the key to something else). Ended up muting the transmit volume and that fixed it. They seriously need to add a thing letting you know you’re transmitting your voice.
—
We got back to an outpost. And again my mother pulled me away from my computer. I swear she’s doing this delibertly, not understanding this is a game that requires teamwork.
Getting up for Chapter 5, we’re all warning Blender what to expect with this one and I tell them what I need to do to achieve 100% commendation. Shaw feels confident we can do this in one go.
We get there, start sinking Ghost ships and I see I have 10/20.. and we’re heading to the spire. I tell Shaw I still need 10 more to complete the commendation, and he claims it’s impossible to get them as the AI ships would sink them before we have a chance (and Blender agreed with this). Plus he said his mouse controls were freezing up and he might crash. ..Alright, alright. Just telling you, I’m not going to get 100% at this rate. I know this fight. Didn’t say this to them (for very obvious reasons), but felt it. Mmm. Seems like it’ll take more than one go to 100% complete it, and I discovered the AI can help you with this task, which would make it easier to do.
In the Spire, Shaw hadn’t gotten 100% here on the journals; missing 3/5. I’m thankful for that video I followed which helped me to locate them all. Was able to help him and Blender get them all. Then it was time for the final battle against the Flying Dutchman. Unfortunately Blender didn’t fully understand the mechanics, even though I said the AI ships go clockwise around the spire and the Dutchman goes counter-clockwise and I assumed he understood this. I couldn’t focus on the ship as I was busy trying to keep ours alive.
…And then my mother wanted me again, as our GrubHub order came 30 minutes earlier than it should had. UGH!! Came back 5 minutes later and Orion again wasn’t happy with me. Sorry that my mother is picking the worst fucking times to need me. I’m not intentionally trying to leave. I never planned this. Shit happens.
Blender and Orion manage to sink the Dutchman no problem, while Shaw and Orion are loading up on Crates of the Damned. Shaw tells me you can sell these, which definitely has my interest.
We get to the reward and I’m able to get 100% commendation by grabbing all the journals here. So, the only thing I didn’t complete was sinking the 20 ghost ships to get all commendations of A Pirate’s Life (100%ing the entire campaign). Didn’t check if my progress had been reset yet again. I’d feel very unhappy if it did.
—
So after we leave the reward and head back, we’re celebrating a good victory.. when all the sudden an emergent skeleton ship shows up– a Galleon. It’s like the game’s saying “Haha fuck you now die!” A quarter into the battle, a fucking Megalodon shows up! So now we have a skeleton ship AND a Megalodon attacking us. What fun! And the fucker kept knocking us off. They managed to sink the skele ship but we still had the Megalodon to deal with. I managed to get one shot into it a split second before nearly dying. And the second time I was unloading the damn cannonball instead of firing. OML, what a rookie mistake. And I got yelled at because of that mistake.
Eventually Shaw had enough and told us to just get the fuck away. Soon as we got back on the grid, the Megalodon left us alone.
I noticed the time.. it was past 6 and I really needed to eat dinner. But I was too busy helping them to do so. I never told them I had to go eat.
We got to an outpost, but we were on the wrong side. Orion using a harpoon, we made it to the correct side. I spotted some debris near the outpost with one being a powder keg. I mentioned this to them, and Shaw said you can sell it. I didn’t know this, and he
asked me “Kovo never told you this?” I said “no”. He said “then he’s an idiot”. Mmm.
So he shows me proof while I grab one of the ghost chests and attempt to meet him halfway. He claims they can be sold at the merchant (the one you buy supplies
from).
Wasn’t possible. Orion tried too and also couldn’t sell it. Shaw looked it up and saw he made a mistake and there’s another kind of ghost chest that can be sold. Then he had this idea to make the letter ‘F’ with the crates.
…And that’s when things went really bad for me (IRL). Let’s say she wasn’t happy I wasn’t eating at 6, and I had to leave the game. Later I did my best to explain that I can’t leave a game like that, and she still didn’t understand. But now knows she can’t ‘force’ me to eat. I kept telling her “so what if I eat an hour later? It’s no big deal! I’m still eating!” But it’s like she wasn’t grasping my words and only hearing things she wanted to hear instead of the full thing. And she wonders why I got pissed at her…
Not only did you constantly interrupt me and pull me away at very critical times that I needed to be there for my friends, but you give me this shit. And she didn’t feel any remorse for me, only asking “why can’t you have friends that tell you to eat?”
So yeah. Having a free spot to play SoT came with a hefty pricetag when RL knocks. *sighs*
==============================================================
A talk with MIBIT (with an unexpected outcome)
==============================================================
As I was almost done eating, MIBIT had DM’d me saying “im on”. I remembered he wanted to tell me why he was ‘sad and alone’. I needed to get groceries first and got an order placed for them.
Came on around 10pm, telling Blender I was going to go see MIBIT. He was in the world that has been known to crash me. However Sparky one time told me that they updated the world, so it shouldn’t and I decided to give it a fighting chance (for MIBIT). When I joined I found him and Friday talking. Friday said he was going to go to bed, and I had some fun licking the everliving fun out of him (as I know how much it annoys him).
He left and I was able to talk to MIBIT in private, just as I wanted to before. And what he meant by his status of ‘sad and alone’ wasn’t because we broke up, but because he wants to join a RL social group. I understood his pain, wishing I could form my own group and move away from Kovo’s group.
Then he asked me “so what do you wanna do?” I asked him “what do you wanna do?” He said “just chill”. I was OK with this.
–
Sometime later, he asked me “so now that I know my work schedule, do you want to try dating again?”
I was beyond shocked. Do…do you not remember I CHEATED on you?! You should be pissed at me and never wanting to speak to me again! And you’re asking this?? You clearly do not understand how breakups work. Either that or he really missed me and wanted to try again. I never really asked him “why”, only that “I’ll think about it” and assumed it would end there, and then I’d tell him today in DMs that he really should move on and find someone else.
I mean when it came to the 6 months of feeling like I lost Jero ‘forever’, I was never this direct. I never asked “do you want to get back together”. I wanted to move on. MIBIT doesn’t want to. Almost like a glutton for punishment. Plus he tells me how he’s been trying to improve himself since the breakup, taking what I said about his ADHD and doing his best to relax.
So I said “I … guess we could start as friends with benefits and see how it works out”.. but still remembering about Blender. I did eventually tell him, because I felt it was very important to do so but I didn’t want to break his heart. He said he didn’t mind, and
said “I’ll just wait the 6 months” (said this twice, expecting a reaction out of me and I didn’t know how to react). And he said “just let me know if you two make it official”. I said I will.
I’m really regretting this. Half of me feels MIBIT is ‘hoping’ that it doesn’t work out
for Blender and I (so he can ‘swoop in’), but the other half completely disagrees and knows he would not do this. MIBIT is not that kind of person, to do something like that.
…Still though, I can’t do this to Blender. Doesn’t feel right. But I dunno what to do. I want to help everyone, but as Kovo told me.. I gotta set limits. So I might need to tell MIBIT today that it needs to stay as ‘friends with benefits’, and I’ll put him as a “I’ll think about
it” if it doesn’t work out with Blender and I.
–
I decide to invite Blender into the world. I wanted to talk to him in private about this but I never had a chance.
==============================================================
Blender’s near meltdown (he lied to me and Orion)
==============================================================
We had a few others joining, and even Kovo joined. We were all talking about our own things.
Time passed and once again I was letting Blender lick Kovo’s feet. So funny. Blender couldn’t help himself and was laughing so hard. …Then all the sudden he got on the floor and said “I’m sorry but I’m having a mini panic attack”. Quickly ran over to him and tried to comfort him. I assumed he laughed so hard that his brain crashed on him, but he said that’s not exactly what happened.
Said he got a message from Grok. ..I was quite confused and asked him “I thought we told you to block him in VRChat”. He did, but not in Discord. So I told him to do so, but he needed to calm down first.
I was forced to tell them the story that I can remember Blender telling me (mainly the part where Grok hurt him).
VictonRoy was with me (so was MIBIT) and he started asking Blender some things to help him “grasp reality”, such as what he’s seeing right now, what he can feel, what he can taste. And overall saying that Grok “has no power over you”. That this thing Grok has is only a mind trick– he has no true ability to heal and hurt people. It’s all manipulation. Not to mention Victon also calmed me down when I told him how pissed I was after seeing what Grok did to Blender, saying “this can be solved without violence”.
My negative side disagrees, but my common sense agrees (and my common sense won this round).
My calming, compassionate voice and Victon’s self-controlling questions eventually did help to calm Blender down. Then Blender wanted to explain the whole situation with Grok himself, that this ‘unnatural aura’ is something from Japan that Grok acquired. He said a lot more things, even one that had to do with Wolfdog wanting to also get back into the pack and this talk he overheard others saying about Grok wanting to “keep” him for himself.
Blender belongs to noone but himself, and that’s what Victon wanted him to feel. That he’s in control and noone can hurt him.
So it’s time to remove Grok out of your life, Blender.
First he blocked him in VRChat… so you lied to me and Orion when you said you did. *sighs* I forgive him. He was scared. And then he blocked Grok in Discord. I wanted Blender to use the anger he felt for hurting him, but Victon feels the block button should be renamed ‘Freedom’. Still it was done and I asked him how he felt. He wasn’t sure how to feel and Victon again tried to help him to realize he said “you’re not going to do shit to me. I am more powerful than you”.
He also told him I found highly controversial (personally), saying people won’t do anything if you block them out of your life. *coughs*Brayden*coughs*.. and Raymond. That logic isn’t going to work for me, Victon. Sorry.
–
Finally Blender discussed how he wishes he could drive but his mother doesn’t trust him. And the reason.. is based on a video game. Victon was shocked, saying he “drives like a maniac” in games but is a safe driver IRL “as that’s my job”.
The talk encouraged me to give my two cents on the topic, but Victon eventually changed it back where he was talking to Blender. So he couldn’t really give me advice, and that’s fine. All he really said was finding a driving instructor, which is the same thing mother told me I’d have to do since she doesn’t have her license.
Then Jero joined unexpectedly. OH SHIT!! HEY! 😄 You’re still alive! Haven’t seen you on since my birthday.
We snuggled and cuddled and it felt great. Blender wanted something purple, so I used the bar and made a few drinks for them. I then decided to be a little ‘uwu’ and put milk in a glass mixed with red punch, and gave it to Jero. I said “this is a bartender special”. Leaned down and whispered in his ear “it’s totally not dragon cum”.
Jero was like “Oooh!” and drank it. Heheheheh. Glad to see you still remembered when we had fun. 😉
I made him a second glass later on and he said it was “cum-tastic”.
Ohh Jero. Heheh. You still have that thing that made me attracted to you.
==============================================================
A whole new world
==============================================================
Much later a portal is dropped by one of Blender’s friends, to a map that totally isn’t based off of Furality Luma (at least that’s what it claims).
But, it’s really beautiful. It has places for non-full body VR & Desktop people to lay down. A luminous pool with a real ‘kick’ to it, and just an overall relaxing feeling to it. It’s unlike most ‘chill’ and ‘sleep’ worlds I’ve seen so far, as it’s all outside and at night. Also the music is really calming to listen to.
It was me, Blender, Jero and Blender’s friend who was there. I wanted to cuddle with Jero some more (as we haven’t really cuddled in a long time). Jero didn’t know about the places you can lay down and he tried it out. I didn’t realize just how.. well this would work. So I laid down completely on my bed and he snuggled me a bit. Then I laid on my side, and we cuddled there.
As I did, Blender and his friend were running around the world and Blender’s all “I miss Furality Luma”. I kind of wanted to tell him what Melan told us when it came to
treating Dutchies like Best Boi’s (but didn’t). Then Blender’s friend came over to us and told us to take these drinks. Curious, I said “gimme one”.
Grabbed one and drunk it. (WARNING: Photosensitivity warning)
This is what it looked like– one hell of an acid trip that lasted for 10-15 seconds. Both myself and Jero were like “what the hell was that?!” Apparently there’s some weird writing that shows up after you drink it. Like, woah.
But I wasn’t really interested into that. I was more interested in Jero who he overheard Blender and his friend talking about something and he said “someone wants the uwu juice”.
==============================================================
‘Mission Failed: We’ll bang ’em next time!’
==============================================================
I look at Jero and say shyly “I can give you some uwu juice” with a smile, and he
says “oooh”. I was waiting for him to say something else, like going to a private world. In my mind I’m thinking “if I play my cards right, I might finally have some fun with him.”
Blender’s running around the world, looking for these secrets. One time it’s like he’s bored and Jero’s AFK, and I felt “it’s not fair if I don’t spend some time with Blender too” and asked for him to lay down. But for some reason, me laying down was somehow bugging the chairs. That and Blender said after I respawned, that I was “still here”. So I tried leaving and rejoining the world.
That fixed it thankfully. Then Blender came up to me saying he wanted to show Jero his work but felt nervous. I told him to “go on and do it”. Don’t be nervous, hun. 🙂
He finally did and Jero really liked his work, hopefully proving to himself once again he has nothing to worry about.
And then Jero needed to head out and was saying bye to everyone. He cuddled me for a bit and seemed like he was doing that thing again of not wanting to go to bed, and then left.
My virtual blue meat;
My lewd brain: Damnit!! 😅
Plus I forgot this is when he usually does head out anyway to prepare for work. But
still, damnit. 😛 Maybe another day.
==============================================================
Icing on the cake
==============================================================
Well, I still have Blender. We retired to my private world and he wanted to do it. And I also helped him out as well. It was past 4 and he was really getting tired, but myself still laying on my back I let him lay on me for a bit. I did this as both of us needed some chill time after one hell of a day for both of us.
