Glitch: The Nine Worlds

@Ashifili@Skyswimsky@Zombehs@Jerkchicken@Jin@King Tai

For those of you who received the next GM narration, greenlights to post.

For those who have not, bread's baking in the oven. Still typing.

Any mistakes, you let me know. Wanna know stats? Call for the interface. Oh, but team Schwerleite? Might wanna consider if noise is worth it right now.

Glitch: The Nine Worlds

_{I N T H E F O R E S T}

Decisions, decisions.

As Jaeger, Nein and Schwerleite ventured deeper into - or outwards - the forest, calm breeze brushed by their hair and faces; it was a serene, sunny weather.

Minutes after walking, they would notice a rustle behind some foliage. An overgrown bush that, from afar, looked like the canopy of a tree that sprouted from the earth on its own. It shuddered again. Then, a growl emitted from behind it.

They could choose to ignore it and hope for the beast - or whatever it was - to leave the company of three alone. Best pray it didn't want a chunk of their asses from behind. Beasts don't discriminate on genders when it comes to succulent butts.

Or they could pry and investigate the suspicious bush.

As if that wasn't stressing enough, there was a bell chime that sounded like a housecat with a bell collar skipped by. Automatically, the inventory opened itself, even though each player's content was visible only to himself (or herself).

At least the ??? bush monster heard nothing. Or it probably didn't care - you're going to have to figure that out as you roll.

Christmas arrived early.

@Ashifili received a Vial of Health (heal 20HP instantly).

@Skyswimsky received a Vial of Mana (heal 5MP instantly). Also received: Candy (small combat HP regen).

@Zombehs received a Vial of Experience (gain a trickle of EXP instantly).

@Ashifili
I'm typing it. Well, was, before I felt a niggle and went to my notifications to see a message from you here.

Even if it was excess, thanks for reminding me.

@Ashifili
Yep! There's been a voting going on for some stuff, which I hope Zombehs or Skyswkmsky relayed to you as per requested (PM recipient limit).

There will be two deaths, and a whole lot of freebies.

What. Just, what.

//sucks in breath and exhales.

Ommmmm. Maybe the couple was distraught and needed to pin the blame on someone to move on with their lives.

Sorry for you, man. I really am.

It's been a few years since the incident, but the lady doesn't clean up her act so I don't like her (at all). I mean, she takes my mom out for tea and spends half the time talking about video games and her online boyfriend. She's married and uses the allowance from her wealthy spouse to pay for online consorts - lovely, right?

She's lucky my mom doesn't enjoy gossiping about anyone.

Sorry to steal your limelights, folks, but I've got bitchin' to do.

My mom refuses to reduce contact with a negatively influential friend of hers.

I do not admire that lady at all. Once, her kid was spewing shit in school to make my mom sound like a child abuser on me, and how her mom (the lady) and herself were the reason my mom didn't beat me to death. Inevitably, people regarded them as saint and angel.

I grew up in a traditional Asian family where corporeal punishment is the norm, and I always knew I reaped what I sowed (was a rebellious teen).

I almost lost my mom because of her lies and exaggeration! When I confronted the kid? She cried and denied all allegations. Then her mom - the lady! - looked me in the eye and said, "Even if my daughter did say such things, what are you going to do about it? You wanna fight her? Beat me instead!!"

Unbelievable! Right in front of my mom, too! Who keeps in contact with friends like these?! My mom! My stupid, forgiving, soft-hearted mom!

Goddamn.

Sure, I'm whatever about these things so whatever you guys like.

Maybe I'm too chill to the point if I walk out into the streets with a baggy hoodie, my wavy bob, and small Asian chest, and people think I'm a girly guy I'm still cool with it. #ImpenetrableSelfAssurance

Although, I don't appreciate your tone of questioning.

why'd you include those, but not, say, agender, which I've seen far more commonly than "third gender"?

You implying discrimination on my end? I thought about that, and figured since agenders don't abide by the binary or trinary system anyway, the chill ones would be fine with unspecified.

I do admire martyrs who stand up for the minority. It's commendable, but no reason to go on a tirade about tiny details that can easily be solved with the person clarifying in bio. Most people I know have never even heard of or could remember the dozen new pronouns that surfaced for the past decade, or the specific genders that entail said each individual pronouns.

I think my Sonic fan buddy told me about this one scene where a character angst'd over a post-mortem character. (Shadow and Maria?)

Then there was another in which a chick had to die to save the others and the incident scarred her love interest prominently. (Cosmo and Miles?)

But I might be wrong since I wasn't all too interested when she raved about the anime. Yeah.

Why not just five options?

"Unspecified", "male", "female", "third gender", "genderfluid".

Anything else they can specify in their spacious 100k bio, right? Might as well put @Mahz's effort into full use!
