“OMG thanks!!! Sorry I’ve been gone, but I really do appreciate it! You were always a great friend to me and I appreciated you always playing my haunted houses!”
You send the message… Wait - you used ‘appreciate’ twice? All out of synonyms are we? What does it matter? It’s not a job interview, but it’s also not casual. This was your friend, why do you feel so stilted? Just be a normal human being for once in your miserable — *Wait*, she’s typing…!
…
She stopped typing.
What the hell do you do now? This was a bad idea.
<span class="mu-b">”WTFF!!! You’RE ONLINE!!!!! HELLO!!!!!? EHLLOOO!??!?!?”</span>
A wave of warmth washes over you.
“Yup! Haha I’m surprised you still play? What are the odds we’d be online at the same time!”
<span class="mu-b">”Well YEAH. It’s the best MMO STILL. Doesn’t matter how old it is!”</span>
“It’s the <span class="mu-s">only</span> MMO I’ve played - so yeah, I definitely agree lol”
<span class="mu-b">”YOU DEF should make a new haunted house!”</span>
“I dunno. I feel too lazy for that stuff these days desu. Those things take a lot of work!”
<span class="mu-b">”With your skills the DEVS should be paying YOU.”</span>
You scoff, “I was hardly making games or anything, I just like decorating spooky stuff.”
<span class="mu-b">”YOU’re the BEST at it tho. You’re ALL OVER the WIKI.”</span>
“Seriously? There’s a wiki?”
<span class="mu-b">”ARE U KIDDING OF COURSE OMG”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”How else did you think I found the best spots to farm for souls”</span>
“Ah! And here I thought you just had all that knowledge in your head! I was seriously amazed by how much you knew about the game”
<span class="mu-b">”... There is no wiki, don’t look for it, it doesn’t exist, it was all me~!”</span>
“Ahahahhahaha”
“Hey, you still found all that stuff! I never could. I was afraid of popup ads back then. I used to have nightmares!”
<span class="mu-b">SERIOUSLy tho if you want a big ego boost go look at the comments some time a lotta ppl love your stuff.</span>
“Maybe I’ll take a peak lol”
“So, how have things been going?”
<span class="mu-b">”WELL they STILL don’t have any new content or anything”</span>
“I meant with life in general.”
<span class="mu-b">”It’s going alright.”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”How about you?”</span>
“I got dumped lol”
Before you register it, you send the message. Guilt instantly starts applying pressure, piercing through the tipsy haze. You just couldn’t wait to let someone else know about your troubles, huh? What is it that you want out of this? Another shoulder to cry on? Except you never did much crying, did you? If anything you’ve used it almost as an excuse. A free pass to be a ghost. You <span class="mu-s">are</span> all of your problems, but it’s so irritatingly comfortable to be like this.
<span class="mu-b">“OMG YOU GOT LAID?!?!??”</span>
“omg”
“wtf lol”
<span class="mu-b">“What does he look like so I CAN BEAT HIM UP?”</span>
“um. I’d rather not describe a person I’m trying to forget lmao”
<span class="mu-b">“u rite”</span>
