It’s funny how things fall into place, without expecting them. Having Warframe breaking my spirit (for the time being), and coming back to VRChat at just the right time to say farewell to Creepery.
He’s nearly done with college, and soon he’ll be getting into the real world with jobs, responsibility, and the like– which sadly has lead him to a firm but difficult decision to thank all that have been there for him (that he might never come back due to this).
But the main reason, is a lot of them are going to really miss him; with one of his friends being brought to tears of the news. People like myself, yeah we miss him, but we also fully understand that things can’t stay the same forever. Just like the closing of the Best Boi community, that actually made me a lot more upset that I thought. Because of the memories I had. Meeting so many people, making awesome friends, learning new things, etc.
Creepery has really been moved by it, having his life forever changed from true friendship. Giving him the strength to become a moderator.
*sighs and wipes away a tear* I wasn’t kidding when I said that Creepery is like a brother to me. I have full respect for him, which he does for me.
And he needed that no BS talk today, dealing with some pre-drama while we were waiting for an hour to do this special meeting. Charms showed up, and started talking about Ashi and bringing back the past (according to Creepery at least). I was hoping he would be an adult by walking up to him and say “Charms, what happened in the past, stays in the past. Let’s move on.”
Instead, he runs away, feeling nervous. Finally catching up to him, I didn’t really have the guts to tell him that he made a bad thing even worse by walking away. That wasn’t until later, when my brain was all “you HAVE.. to tell him. He’s your friend, he’ll understand!” One of his other friends say that I was only making things worse, but Creepery told him that I was right.
We ended up joining another instance of the world. I even asked Charms if he wanted to come (just hoping we could put all of this mess behind us). But he didn’t want to. Later I see he has unfriended me. *shrug*.. whatever. I don’t care.
–
So, Creepery does his speech. Saying thank you to everyone who was with him every step of the way (even the ones that helped him with his Best Boi Kingdom thing). Then he brought me and another, thanking us personally for giving him strength.
No problem, buddy. :’-) (I’m not crying, just something in my eye!)
We did one final Float & Splat after that, just for ole times sake. After that, we said “We are Best Boi’s forever!” Then we went to the old Best Boi world, to spend the rest of the day.
Before it was time for me to go eat, Creepery had told me that he drew pictures of us all. And he showed me mine, along with a sweet message;
That is awesome. Thanks dude. Really appreciate it, after what we’ve gone through last year.
It’s really amazing what a year can do. One moment, you weren’t sure if you wanted to join all of this cancer. And the other, you’ve made a lot of friends (and frenemies like Ashi). You’ve also learned how Unity works, and how to do your own custom avatar (based on someone’s already created model). Even how to do your own worlds.
It’s painful when a really close friend has to go, but I’m old enough to understand the reasoning. And so, in closing, I wish Creepery the best of luck on his future endeavors, and hope to see him again in VRChat. Though he said that we can still talk in Discord.
