《Blue Screen Blues》Chapter 41: Meet your Russian Emo Agnostic Goddess
Advertisement
When Ryan was stabbed with a deathblow by the Demon, Zephyr was laying over him trying to protect him the best she could with her body with her eyes closed and in a Scared state. When She was stabbed in the shoulder, she didn’t feel a thing. But when She heard Ryan Scream in agony, and his Phone make a critical noise, she opened her eyes and notices He just stopped breathing. She looks over to her left and sees that she stabbed him in the heart. Upon seeing this realizes she Failed her mission to keep her lover safe from harm and starts Screaming her heart out.
She looks up at the Demon that looks satisfied with her easy kill, while Zephyr Lays on his lifeless chest Crying and Screaming her heart out. When the Demonic bitch pulls the Dagger out of Ryan’s Chest and Zephyrs Shoulder, her Eyes Glow Deadly Red. Enraged with Hate and Regret She Kiss’s His Eyes and His lips and Pushes herself up.
She forces herself to stop Crying and takes his Cellphone out. She Puts on the song “Prelude 12/21” From AFI and Puts the Song on Global. She then Activates the Buff, but A lock screen comes up. She Puts a Z pattern in it and it was Accepted.
Suddenly with a Demonic Look Zephyr keeps her head down and casts [Disarm] On the Demon and Steals her Daggers.
Meanwhile…….
In a Black Hallway Ryan appears in his Spirit human form. He was in front an endless hallway when out of Nowhere A Blue Screen of Death Appears in front of him. He could Hear the Prelude 12/21 Song Blaring From this Dimension.
Suddenly the Song “Miss Murder” From AFI starts Blaring and He could Hear Screaming and Gory sounds from this Dimension
He can’t see anything. But It sounds Like a warzone with Explosions and screaming. From outside this room. It sounded like someone wanted to Die but was being Tortured and Played with; Along with Tons of Explosions and Screaming. For the next 3 minutes
He stays in the Blue Screen Room Staring at the message that was in front of him.
:( The Connection to Your Body has Ran into a Problem and needs to Restart
He then Hears Liz Crying out for a Regeneration buff.
He could here Zephyr Crying and screaming in a depressed tone “It’s coming your Way now!”
Suddenly the Screen goes black and the Darkness of the Room Shuts off. Then Turns back on. He Appears inside a brand-New room now. He looks around and forces himself to accept the fact he is dead. At that moment the song ended and The Song “Beautiful Thieves” From AFI comes on. He still Hears a Warzone outside this room he was in.
He Looks around this New Room that had a Green and Blue Checkered pattern tile floor and Sees a Woman Sitting on her throne Reading a Book called: “How to be a Faction God for Dummies. (Volume 1: Congratulations you got the job!)”
The song suddenly makes him start Crying. It looks like he is in Hell now. He looks over at the Emo Chick on her throne and walks over to her All Depressed and Sad. He Sits beside her throne and Puts his Knees to his chest and holds them tight as he Imagines whats going on out there and Crying to the lyrics of the Song. He is Very scared right now. She stops reading her book and pats his head. She then opens a Screen to the outside world.

While Crying the Girl was running her hands through his short hair. Her touch was weird. It had a Calming touch to it, Like an Aura of a Succubus. She played with his hair and read her book. It looked like she was halfway through with the book.
He looks around this Room and it was pretty Depressing.
He looks up at her and gets a better look at her. She was a Small Emo-Scene Looking girl that looked 19 years old. She was skinny with no muscle on her and had a flat chest and No butt like Alex. She was pale white, like somone who only goes out at night and the girl Had choppy Long Green and Blue Dyed Hair with Green Eyes and had a black 3-point Trident Terraria Headband in her hair that emitted a small green Flame 6 inches above the Band. She also had a Jet Black Thorny Shaped Neckless around her neck. She Wore a Blue and White Russian Telnyashka long sleeve Undershirt, with a Sky-blue Tank Top that went over it. The shirt said “Нет водки нет Гопник проблема решена” and she had Black Skinny Jeans on.
While Crying he watches the Fight. He can see his Cellphone laying on his chest and Looks at the Demonic Succubus that was fighting with the other girls. Then He notices Citra in her Succubus form fighting alongside with them.
He Sees Liz run out of the House in her night gown and join in the fight. Citra Was acting like a Tank, and that Goth girl was acting as what appeared to be both a Damage dealer, and healer. Zephyr was in a Berserker mode he never seen before. Her eyes were glowing Red with Rage, and she was moving Incredibly Fast all over the place attacking the place. Kannell was up in the Air Blasting the Demon with Arcane Barrages, and Liz was attacking with her weaker spells as well. Suddenly He sees Zephyr come around and stab Greena Intentionally and Lick the blood off her blades. This Unaffected her somehow. Suddenly She sees Greena Charge up for a Familiar Spell. She was Charging up a Shadow Blast Spell at full power. This spell could Knock down Military Grade walls. This beast Did not stand a Chance if she Connected.
The Girl in the throne Pats his head again.
Greena Fires off her spell and Strikes this Beast with a Great Explosion. 10 seconds later the Demon gets back up, but it looked like This Boss fight Just went into stage 2. The Woman sheds her Demonic form And Appears Human. She was a Noble class looking Lady in her 40’s with a Gold and Blue Dress on. She appears to be Screaming and Yelling at Liz.
He can’t Hear anything except the music. Suddenly she casts a magic spell at her, and Liz gets hits.
The goth girl Greena was down on the Ground unable to move, and it was seen that Kannell was dropping her a bottle of water from the Air. Greena Catches the water and starts Drinking it. This allows her to get up and get back in the fight. She casts a Healing spell on Liz, and it looks like it Hurt her somehow. Liz Flicks off Greena And Charges up a Spell.
All the girls were running around trying not to get hit by this woman’s magic form. Citra Was still tanking and Attacking it head on, and she was pissing this thing off even more.
“No need to Don’t be afraid of me” The woman told him in a Cheerful tone.

“Am I going to Hell?” Ryan asked Fearfully.
“No, Of Course not. You’re in Purgatory My Friend” She told him while Turning the page.
“What does that mean?” Ryan asked still scared.
“It means, you are able to be Resurrected after the battle is over” She told him. As she runs her hand through his hair again.
“Wait I’m Confused I thought If I died That was it; It was Game over.” He told her.
“Wait Game over? Hang on. Are you from earth? Haven’t heard that term in a while” She Replied Cheerfully.
“Yes, I am Why?” He Replied very scared.
“Ahh I see You must not be from here. My name is Arcadia, I am your Faction leader By Default” She tells him Cheerfully while Turning the page of her book again.
Ryan calms down a little bit due to her Calming aura and Happy personality.
“Can you please explain to me what happened. I’m Really scared and don’t know whats doing on” He Requests calmly.
“You died out there, my friend. When you Die you usually get teleported out of the Dimension and It would literally be a Game over for you. But You got Buffed with Purgatory before you died, meaning you still have a Second chance at life here” She told him while putting down her book.
She stands up, and Smiles at him. Then she grabs his hand and pulls him up gently. She teleports in a Black and Red Couch for him to sit on. He walks over to it and sits next to her on it.
“Ok. Dying Without Purgatory cast on you means Game over, dying with it on you means you can Revive Via me, or Via your Teammates” She Tells him while Conjuring up a Monster Energy Drink and giving it to his tortured soul.
“Thank you, but I miss home so damn bad, and I am so damn stressed and scared and sad right not. all what I want right now is to go home!” He said while crying.
“I’m sorry Ryan, just trying to make you feel better buddy. If it’s okay with You, do you mind telling me how you Died on earth?” She asked him while putting her arm around him.
“Suicide. Alexandria Condemned me here forever until I learn a Lesson about life” He told her while crying a little bit more.
“Ahh Clementia That over emotional Wise bitch Sent you here” She said with a Smile.
“Yes. Wait how do you know that?” He replied.
“I’m a goddess like her. I’m the youngest one of the Bunch” She replied with a great big smile on her face.
“Oh, that explains a lot. How old are you? And what is your Goddess tittle if I may ask” Ryan asked while taking a Big chug of this Energy drink.
“My Goddess name is Hecate. I am the Goddess of Crossroads, and I am 8182 God years old. I’m Pretty Young compared to the others” Arcadia Replied cheerfully.
When She said that the music stops playing. The Chaos of War and Rage could Be heard clearly now.
Arcadia Then Turns off the Screen of the battle.
“So, what do you think of this place so far? It’s nothing like Earth huh” She said with a smile.
“I truthfully want to go back home to earth! I miss my Bed, I miss my Evil little half Sister, I miss my Friends, I miss my Dad, and I miss Electricity and Everything else. I’m secretly Miserable here and really want to go home. Also, it doesn’t help with the fact I have this huge burden over my head that says if I die here, I’m going straight to hell. Life Is not fair now Because of my suicide. Now I have to put up with all this Torture. I feel So Alone here Arcadia” He sobs to her while Crying.
“You Don’t have to feel alone, this place is Wonderful Ryan, you haven’t really gotten out and Explored it completely yet. It’s a lot Easier to play then you think. You can Literally Heal up in minutes here, compared to days or Months back on earth” She told him while cradling him in her arms.
“I know, but everything thing I do Seems to be Wrong and a huge Fuckup. I mean My vacation plans turned into a: “Love at first-night stand” which ultimately lead to the Loss of her life, Her Private Island being destroyed, and also, I destroyed her Best friend’s Life Unintentionally. I also made that girl almost kill herself. I’m Always Causing problems, and at the Same time I’m some clingy Bitch’s Slave, that I have confusing feelings for. It doesn’t help that I almost killed her and Had to fight her in a fucked-up way. With all these bad luck Streaks I just want out. I’m really tired of this place and really Want to go home. Can you please send me home!” He begged her while Weeping.
Ryan had too much emotion built up and was unloading all his Sadness on her.
She pats his back and doesn’t say a word to him. While the Room Shakes with another Shockwave.
Suddenly he can hear Zephyr screaming and Crying
“Ryan! I miss you and Wish you were here! I really wish you were here with me right now! I can’t hold her back anymore!” She screamed over the warzone in the background.
Then they heard Kannell Screaming “Shit 5 more on the left! Liz Take care of them!”
Then there was another Explosion that shock the room.
“Look Ryan, I can’t Send you back. Hell, I can’t even leave this game if I wanted. I mean I could but only for a little while, but it takes a hell of a lot of my power to do so. Even then I can only leave this realm for a short time before I get sucked back into this world. This place is my little hell too ever since that Evil Bitch Discordia Tricked me into coming here with her. No one really follows me, and I have no one to talk to. Hell, you’re the first one in a while to come talk to me. The last one that came here was from earth too” She said while trying to Calm him down.
“I just want to go home!” He cried while Tears fell in her arms.
“Shhh. Calm down. Look you’re Not alone here. I’ve been to earth and it’s not as fun as this place could ever be” She tried to assure him.
“What do you mean You been to earth?” He said while trying to calm down.
“I was bored one day after doing a Admin shift in 2004, and was hanging out with the other gods. They joked around with me and convinced me to spawn in and Try the earth Experience Realm. I Agreed and choose to spawn in as a 8 year old girl in the year 2010 so I didn’t have to play through the tutorial, but when I got Spawn in, the game made me a Russian girl to play for the entirety of the game” She said while pausing to think really hard.
“In those 8 years I played, That Game was really hard!!! Everything there could kill your and Injuries are really O.P.” She said while covering her face and smiling.
“I made it to Level 16! Then I Died due some idiot Gopnik in his Adidas Track suit! She said while laughing and pointing to her shirt.
Ryan didn’t have his phone and couldn’t Translate the shirt.
“And the worst part Is my Death became a Russian Dashcam meme! Cyka blyat!” She Shouted in playful Angry tone.
Him hearing her talk about memes makes him remember one that was quite popular 2 years ago and it involved a Russian Dash cam. This semi Cheers him up a little bit.
“Wait, are you Heat Seeking Tank girl?” He asked jokingly while trying to stop the tears.
“Yes, I am Heat seeking Tank girl!” She said with a playful Smile.
“Gahhh! I can’t believe no matter where I ran on that icy lake, that Spinning out of control Tank Homed in on me. It was like the Physics god guy was Trolling me!” She cried in laughter.
Both of them start laughing at this cruel dark comedy Situation they both remember fondly of.
Arcadia then snaps her fingers and pulls up that video on the Screen in the room.
“No, you aren’t Supposed to be alive Lindsay! The Crown and this Kingdom was rightfully mine! Fuck your family and your bitch mother! Also Fuck that Blue Succubus that Killed My husband in front of me, and her sisters for slaughtering all of the family members that were on my side! Also fuck her for Poisoning all the woman in the house! How Dare you come back here and claim this manor!” A woman Screamed in a Demonic Tone. Ryan could hear this chaos outside the walls, and secretly starts trying to picture whats happening outside.
“Mary! You may think you wear a Crown, But your no Queen!” Liz screams back at her. Suddenly 5 shockwaves Shack the room.
“Liz, I got your Six! Greena Heal Zephyr!” Kannell Screams while Unleashing what sounds like an Arcane Barrage spell.
Suddenly You could Hear Zephyr Screaming.
“Hmm, If Zephyr Keeps this Recklessness Up shes going to be here with you” Arcadia Said calmly. While staring at the walls of this room in a worried state.
“Oh, that’s right she believes in you as her goddess” Ryan said while trying his best to imagine whats going on outside.
“Ya well there are only 2 people that Truly Believe in me in this whole amazing world” Arcadia said calmly.
She then puts on what looks like a YouTube video
The video then plays as the room is shaken with what feels like an Earthquake… Or another magical Blast.
The meme video shows a Car with a Dash cam Stopping at a Red light in a winter like setting with snow everywhere. Suddenly a Drunk man wearing an Adidas Tracksuit with a bottle of Vodka in his hand Crosses the road and falls over. It being a Meme video, the editor decided to be funny and Circle the man and add the tittle “Russian Soldier” with an arrow pointing at him. He then gets up in the middle of the road and Tries to Rush a Bird that was somehow pissing him off. He Circles the bird and Writes Objective “B” Then a tank that was coming down the road That was Labeled “Cyka Blayt!” Swerves to Avoid this Drunk Man Rushing “B” and the tank starts sliding and spinning out of Control. You could see a teenage Burnette girl Running out of the path of this tank as it was spinning on the icy road. She heads for a Frozen lake, but the Tank follows the same path as her. She tries to Zig zag out of the path of it but the Tank Hilariously Homes in on her and hits her. 10 seconds later that bird that the drunk guy was chasing was now Labeled “Communism” and had a Red star over it. Suddenly the bird lands on top of the tank, and they both fall through the Ice. Then the USSR Anthem Starts Blasting.
Ryan and Arcadia Start Laughing So Hard at this Dark funny Meme.
They laugh for 20 seconds and then pull themselves together.
“Everyone laughed at me in the pantheon when I died! One of the Assholes even told me II rolled a “1” on dodging the tank!” She Cried out with an Annoyed playful tone to him.
“Don’t feel bad, Alexandria told me she Died to in the middle ages” He replied to her slowly calming down from laughing.
“Ya well she Should have been smart enough to know about the Dark Ages before she spawned into that time period like that!” Arcadia told him with a Smile.
Suddenly the room shakes again, and you could hear Mary the Succubus demon Screaming in Agony.
“Can you explain to me what the deal with that demon is?” He asked her while pointing at the wall.
“Ahh she was a tortured angry soul who refused to move on. You let those manifest in this world long enough you get a Really powerful Demon that is almost Unstoppable.
“Oh, that explains why Greena Freaked out. I thought it was because she was red or Something” Ryan replied as he heard the Ground shake and more explosions from the outside.
“Liz I am out of mana! Cover me!” Kannell shouts
“Catch and drink this!” Liz Screams.
“Well those Spirits are kind of special. They had unfinished business. The black ones Represent Betrayal, the blue ones Represent Sadness and Torment, and the Red ones when they achieve their final form turn into one of those things. Blue ones when they mature into a monster aren’t as bad as Red ones, but they are Really Tough on the defensive side due to the amount of pain and sadness they bottled up over the years. Red ones are purely Offensive demons and not as tough. Then you have your Yellow ones, but I forget what those represent. But Black betrayed souls that refuse to move on turn into Shades when they mature” Arcadia Explained to him.
“Can you please explain to me exactly why I am here again? Look I like you and didn’t know you would be so cool in all, but you said your my DEFUALT god. But if you’re the default one, why is there only me here. And you also mentioned you only have 2 followers” He asked her curiously trying to change the subject.
“Oh. Well Most people when they join this game either as a New player, or as an NPC go straight for the 2 mainstream factions.
Yulee, the Dark bitch, whose Goddess name is Discordia, or Eris; or whatever Synonym you choose to call her is the Destructive Immature one. She is pure Chaos in a Small package. Shes like a Napoleon, but with no tits, just a huge ass you can kiss and Black hair. People who follow her Get a Global Passive of +10% Damage output against all targets in the world. However, in Warzones and PvP Combat Their Magic attacks are 60% more stronger and All classes get a +35% Critical strike Chance. Because of this, this makes her the Goddess of Havoc , Dark magic, Mondays, Domination and Sacrifice.
Bunnell or Bunny, Who’s Goddess name is Athena is a little bit more complicated. She is an Intelligent person with a very Mature personality. But also, At the same time shes a Healing War goddess so She stands for Bravery and putting others first before yourself. But her only Downfall is she is Judgmental as Fuck. But Ironically She’s also got a bad Case of Vanity” She said while pausing to laugh.
Her Faith alignment’s Global Passive means Undead and demons, Creatures that are super tough; Receive 15% more damage and at the same time Healing spells on you are 10% stronger. However, In War and Conflict Her followers Healing and Shield spells are 30% more Stronger and require 50% less resources to cast. Also, Her Followers get a 20% bonus to Spell or attack speed boost and they all get 10% reduced magic damage when a Healer Falls for 30 secs. Because of this shes the goddess of White Magic, Fridays, Righteousness, Retribution, and Bravery. She Explained to Ryan.
“Ahh ok. But hang on those stats gains are very unbalanced. It sounds like Yulee is an uncontrollable Force” He tells her while counting on his fingers.
“You would think so, but no. In all honesty Yulee May be Reckless and Relentless, but Bunnell is not. Shes More Patient and Disciplined. Those wins battles.
“I don’t get it, but I will understand in time I suppose” He replies to her trying really hard to Crunch those numbers in his head.
“Look to be honest, I don’t really care to join any “Gods” Side in this game. Ironically When I died, I was 3/4 Atheist. But When I found out this whole damn Universe was a Multi-God Collaboration project, I was speechless, and Confused. I was always taught the 1 god Rule. But Ironically when I had my 1st heart break and went Emo, I stopped going to church and this Really pissed off my mom. But at the same time My mother never was around all the time, so there was nothing she could do about it.” He said while pausing to pick up his Monster.
“Because of this I Don’t know If I really want to Join ANY of these factions at all. That Bunnell chick sounds like an evil mother of mine, and I have a quest to destroy Yulee from the start” He explained to her while taking a sip of his Monster.
“Well let me Clarify something there, you know you can’t Call yourself an Atheist if you believe in hell, and like 10 minutes ago you were scared you were being sent there. But at the same time, you can’t be 3/4 Atheist that makes no sense” She said while giggling at him.
“You know what I mean” He told her while Trying to think of the other word that was associated with Atheism.
“You Died an Agnostic Silly!” She said while hugging him.
Ryan was a little disappointed he didn’t let that word roll off his tongue Quicker.
“But don’t feel bad. When I spawned into earth at that time period, my memory was wiped, and I played the whole 8 years ironically as an Agnostic as well! ” She said with excitement and while taking his Monster can and taking a Sip from it.
Suddenly Ryan Smirks at her. That was super funny to hear coming from this Emo-Scene Russian goddess.
“You died an Agnostic too? Please elaborate that makes no sense” He said while touching the Green part of her hair.
“Even as a Goddess, I know the fucked-up things we to do mortals. I was spawned into earth as an adopted Middle Class Russian Sumasshedshaya Devushka. While I was playing that life, I noticed If it’s too hot, the other gods make it hotter, if it’s Too Cold, They throw you a Blizzard, and If You don’t want a Relationship right now, we throw you a catch-22. Most of us gods are evil, but that’s just the way we are. When I died, I finally realized how cruel we can be to each other and Changed my philosophy on life.
“I personally believe we should just stay out of all the servers we created and just watch from afar” She told him while patting his head.
“If You want to talk about Philosophy That right there sounded pretty “Atheist” to me” Ryan said while falling off the couch laughing.
“Dude trust me, Yes I’m Pretty weird. but in reality I honestly Identify as an Agnostic. Even though I am a Goddess, My Moral belief is Neutrality. I mean I am the goddess of Crossroads, after all! Hence the fact that Green and Blue are my battle Colors” She said while smiling at him.
Ryan Was on the floor laughing so damn hard Thinking this bitch can’t get any stupider. He could hear the outside warzone starting to pick up battle again.
“Ok, hold on. You may have sold me here. If I can’t Join Yulee since she is my ticket out of here, and I can’t join Bunnell because she reminds me too much like my bitch mother I hate so much, I may join you. But if I wanted to, what are your Faith Alignment bonus’s Arcadia?”
“Ahh My Global passive is +5% Stat Regeneration and +3% Precision and +2% Healing affects 5% Experience boost, and at night if the Moon is hidden You get a 20% Spell power boost. However, once a month on New moons you get a sexy +100% Spell Boost. However, in Warzones my Affiliation bonus means get a +5% Dodge chance, +5% Spirit.” She said while Sitting on his lap.
“Hang on there, those stats are pretty low, but with more Experience coming in that explains how Zephyr is always 2 levels above me, but at the same time +100% spell power Sounds pretty O.P.” Ryan said with a Smile.
“Ya, I know. I only have 2 followers though. The more people I have that believe in me the stronger Those numbers become Also that spell boost only happens once a month at night during a New moon. Its super useful if you wanted to Take down a Raid boss. Get your team together and Zerg at night under the New moon and life is good. She said with a Smile.
“Alright. I’ll get back to you on joining your side later. So, for my next question, you said this place is your little own hell to. Can you elaborate why?” Ryan asked curiously.
“Gah, it’s hard to explain. It all started When we restructured hell, we moved around some of the damned and put them in alternative worlds we made to entertain us” She said while taking a breath to talk.
“Oh, ya I heard about that from Alexandria! You had Hitler in the Dinosaur world and then they had Stalin running Beta Test Phases in worlds before launch” He replied to her.
“Ya and well before we launched this server, I was….. Wait hang on say that again?” Arcadia asked seeming confused.
“Say what?” He asked her seeming confused.
“Say that last part again” She asked seeming startled.
“Oh, they had Stalin Running Beta Test Realms?” He Replied to her.
Suddenly you could see Her face go from Cheerful to Angry. She gets up and stomps around angrily.
“Oh, Hell no! Now this makes sense now! Communism was never meant to be implemented in the game! Of Course, that little bastard Seeded it before launch and gave that Bitch an upper hand! She screamed in anger.
That Malen'kaya Zlaya Suka! Tricked me! And then kept lying to me about it this whole damn time! She fucking knew! Oh, now it just got personal!” She screamed in anger. Randomly She spawns in a Trashcan just to kick it.
“Sweet Story time! Tell on whats on your mind that’s making you mad” he said cheerfully
“This game has been going on for like 1-year god year, but it feels a lot longer then that. There are so many damn Time paradoxes in here and outside its not even funny! Anyway 20 years ago We started Restructuring hell out of boredom and started making new worlds. When I played my life on earth and died, I was sorta taking a break from being “Special Friends” with Discordia. When I spawned back into the pantheon, she approached me and then Begged me to join her in the start of This server on launch day. She begged me if I could take Faction seat 2 while she took Faction seat 1. Unaware of the whole damn plan I agreed with her and followed her blindly to the Prelaunch party a Day before the server started up. I remember Discordia Initiating a Drinking game and distracting everyone as we made our way to the control room of the server. She then Told me to hop into the Teleportation area and Spawn in. As I went in, I noticed somone come out. It looked like Stalin and she was shaking his hand. I assume he Spawned her into this game with me since she couldn’t Activate the Controls herself.” She said while pausing to take a breath,
“Anyway, when I spawned in, I chose to take Seat 2 and when she spawned in, she took seat 1 and we all waited for the two Server load. When the game loaded, she told me the north west part of the map was hers to command and told me to have fun being stuck with Resurrection duties. When I tried to leave the game, I had to use a lot of my power to escape, but I really couldn’t do it permanently. When I got outside, I was screamed at by Clementia, and Harmonia for starting the game, and stealing their seats since they were the head programmers of the game. I was also given a Cold look by Athena, who Didn’t Care about whose seat was stolen as along as she could get in there and Kick some ass since seat 3 was hers. I remember She said she just got done playing a Round on earth and Gave birth to a kid. She didn’t say what time slot or say if she died in the game or not, but said something about taking a pause to reap the Fruits of her labor in the RPG server she just help them Make” She said while making a Confused gesture with her hand.
“When they tried to restart the server and kick us out something was wrong. With the world being started since 2 Gods spawned in meant the game physically begin, and something in the Controls were changed to “Limited Leave Time” and “Hardcore RPG Mode”. She said while sitting back down and punching the Couch.
“Fucking Clementia in coding forgot to add a Damn Override switch for a server restart because she was drunk the day she was Writing the damn Coding script, and adding all the damn Life forms to the game server 4 days before the server was meant to go online, and because of that Me and fucking Discordia are trapped here with Limited time we can Spawn out of the game for a vacation! She screamed in anger.
“Ha-ha The goddess of Mercy got drunk and forgot to put in a Reset Switch? That’s fucking Classic! That’s also explains the Gatorboar!” Ryan said while laughing at her situation.
“Hey shut up! That’s not funny from my perspective!” She cried out with Desperation.
“But at the same time since Athena Spawned in on her own, she was able to adjust her Spawn settings to be able to take a longer Vacation then the rest of us. But at the same time WHEN she spawned in, She expected she could Override the game internally with her Administrator Powers, Only to teleport out for 10 minutes and realize that Clementia, while she was Doing Drunk Programing, Thought it would be funny to take away Athena’s Admin Privileges In the system so on the first battle she could Roflstomp the Goddess of war, with “God” mode. Which I personally think is Funny myself” She said while smiling.
But Due to her spawning in, and realizing she can’t spawn out for more than 10 to 20 minutes at a time depending on her score; and also the fact she had no Admin powers, She Tries to get Clementia in the game since she was the only one who HAD Admin powers.
That’s when We realized the parameters of the game only allowed 3 gods to enter a game, and it wouldn’t let her spawn in at all. This means both of them are at war trying to kill each other to get “Ass-andria” in the game. And get us home. She said while laughing.
Anyway, when Athena found out she had been Royally fucked by Discordia, her being the Greek Goddess of war she went straight for Discordia and tried to take her down and get us out of here. But that failed Epically” She said while laughing on the floor.
“When Discordia spawned in, Stalin Implemented a glitch to the system. This glitch made a certain group of people easily Malleable to a leader. We know what communism is, and that’s exactly what that glitch was! Followers followed her orders to the exact T, and this gave her a shit load of followers quickly. And since you do what your told in a Dictatorship, or face the consequences, you choose the Religion that was forced in your face by force. This ended up giving her massive power in the early game” She said while Facepalming.
“When Athena got a sizable army ready to attack Discordia, she had to flee that battle because when she had 300 followers for war, Discordia had over 9000!” She said while laughing.
“This Led into the world’s first very well documented epic Fail, And Athena was forced to Flee and rethink her strategy. After that Bloodbath, I was begged to come help Athena, but I couldn’t. You see Yes I may have a neutral Philosophy on life, but I am physically unable to attack Discordia” She said while throw her hands up in disappointment.
“When Her and I spawned in, she made me sign a Coding altercation agreement That said I can have all of her teleportation powers, part of her unwanted Necromancy powers, Most of hear healing magic and most of her Resurrection powers in exchange for pure neutrality in war. Something she knew I would agree to. However, when I went over the contract, I decided to Trick the “Devil” and added a Clause that said I get a portion of her of her height, and 70% of her boob size. She signed it without reading it and let’s just say she was pissed!” She explained to him while Laying on the floor giggling.
“But at the same a short time later after the epic Fail battle, When I told her I couldn’t Help her Athena Asked me if I could at least Trade some powers Discordia gave me in exchange for some of hers. I Traded her Some Shield spells, and healing magic in exchange for the abilities she didn’t want. Like all of her Druid magic, all her Dark Magic spells, and also made her take “Resurrection Duty” off my Roster and cover it for me. At the same time, with me also being a little upset at how much of a Bitch has been toward me in the past, I decided to trick her and make her give me 70% of her ass size in exchange for my overabundance in Height, Something That I honestly took too much of from Discordia. I hated being 7 foot 10 and wanted to be 5 foot 8 again. This ended up Really pissing off Athena since she already had Vanity issues. Anyway, I Ended up taking their Pride away, for being a bitch to me and then they ended up Doing something evil to me. They put their differences aside for 1 day and laid out a trap for me, and when I came to the town of Flagpole sometime 1320 game years ago, they Beat my ass, to the point when My health hit 42%, the game glitched, which I believe may have been due my Neutrality coding Contract not knowing how to handle the input of THEM attacking me instead of me attacking them. Which was odd. Because I Can’t violate a prohibited action even if I wanted to try” She said while Shrugging her shoulders.
“Wait what do you mean Prohibited actions?” Ryan asked seeming startled.
When we make a coding contract it means the game wont physically allow us to violate that action. For example, Like If I wanted joke around with one of them and attack them with playful Holy spell, the game won’t let that spell come out no matter how hard I Try to push it out of me, unless I switch targets” She explained to Ryan while making a casting stance.
“Anyway, this glitch Sent all 3 of us to our “Throne Rooms” But when it did, I lost my Ass and boobs! But Kept my height the same. That weird glitch caused Bunnell to get huge knockers that scale to her huge Warrior-like MILF’y Frame, with the number of followers she gets. At the same time with Yulee she stayed small and Evil with an Ass that scaled to her fan base as well.” She said while sighing and looking around the room. As another blast Rocked the room hard.
“But however, after my mischief I was punished by them. They Went into Land grabbing mode as soon as that glitched happened and locked me out of available land to start a Cult base. Then to make matters worse, the girls upstairs Kept to the agenda on Launch the date of the World. Even if they couldn’t be Faction Leaders, they opened the gates and Players from Heaven Started Spawning into the game in masses. This right here was good and fun, but with the game mode being set to “Hardcore RPG” mode instead of “Fantasy MMO:Quick Respawn”, meant Dying in this game carried with it Real World Simulated Hell Like Consequences. And I need to talk to you about that before this battle is over Ryan” She explains as the whole Room vibrates with an aftershock.
“Zephyr Don’t die on me!” Liz Screams. Outside the wall of the room.
“Fuck it! I am Casting my Ult! Clear the Area! Grab Zephyr and get the hell out of the Blast Zone!” Greena was heard Screaming in a Demonic like tone.
“Oh, Shes not gonna do it, now is she?! Don’t be That stupid Greena!” Arcadia screamed at the wall.
Out of nowhere a Distinguishable Tone was heard in the room and a Portal appeared outside.
“Oh, never mind. She casted her Battle Rez on you. Smart girl!” Arcadia said while clapping her hands in praise.
“Oh, does this mean I can go out there now?” He said while getting up and walking to the portal.
Suddenly She grabs his hand and pulls him back to her.
“I’d wait” She said while smiling at him.
Arcadia Then Ducks under her throne and Covers her head. Ryan got the message something big was about to happen, He Crawls under the couch and does the same thing as her.
Suddenly you could hear her Chanting a Spell.
“You Pushed and you pulled, but still I was fooled.
You were Loved and Hated, But Still I remained faded.
On Dark rainy days, Always I Stayed,
but the Fire in your Eyes, always made me Cry.
Your Power Embraces me, but your Actions were the Fate of me.
Your love Was my Paddle! I’ll See you in battle!”
“Rasporka Dlya Vozdeystviya!” Arcadia Screams.
Without Warning the Room Receives a Direct shockwave blast that Lifts the couch and Ryan 10 feet in air then He falls down on the ground and the couch lands on top of him. Then there were aftershocks and the Room got Extreamly Hot. Almost as if a Heat Wave was coming through the Walls.
“Sorry, I should have told you to hide under something That was bolted down to the floor” She told him as he was pushing couch off of him.
“So, I guess this is my Que to go out there?” He asks her.
“Yes but let me explain something to you. I don’t know if you knew about The Warzones here. But If you Die in those its automatic Game over” Arcadia Told him while placing her hand on his face and healing a Bruise he incurred
“I know. Alexandria told me about them before I spawned in” He replied to her.
“Purgatory doesn’t work in in Warzones. and Person vs Person zones. Or “PVP” Zones for short.
Either way They are Dangerous place’s to be” She explained to him.
“Wait I’m confused. Why doesn’t it stick to you?” He asked her.
Because of Hardcore mode. It’s all about that “Thin out their numbers” Thing. Look at it like this, if you die in war, and Can be respawned, technically you never died, and the War would go on forever like a paradox” She explained to him.
“Oh, wow That’s really dark and fucked up!” Ryan said while feeling a Dark sensation of Fear run down his Spine.
“I know but that’s just how war is. However, if you’re doing Person vs Environment stuff, and you get killed with it on, like you did tonight, no big deal. You come to Your Chosen goddess’s Throne Room wait to be revived and Down you go. But you need to make sure you have a healer who has played long enough that has purgatory to cast it on you or it too is also Game Over” She said with a smile.
“Hang on, Tell me more about Purgatory. Because I’m confused here” Ryan said while thinking really hard about those 2 things.
“Well Like I said, the game mode Is Hardcore RPG. That means There is no Set objective in the game, it’s a big adventure game you can do anything in. But Dying is kind of complicated. If it was set on The Default RPG Quick respawn it means after you die, you come to this room wait 5 minutes and down you go. But its not set to that. Its set to hardcore RPG mode. That means everyone has a Role to play. Hence The name Role Playing game. The “Hardcore” means you can only live once without Purgatory on. Then Out the game you go till the game is over or your Curse runs out. This means you need a skilled healer that has lived to level 40 to acquire Purgatory and keep you alive, and also be there to Resurrect you or If you don’t I have them to Resurrect you suffer the Vanity Curse” She said while frowning.
“Vanity Curse? What does that mean? He asked her.
“Remember when I took their boobs and ass? Well that turned into a glitch. You may die with purgatory on, but if your faction gods have to resurrect you, Because the healer died before they could get to you after the battle you suffer a Reduction in some Vanity areas. She explained to him.
“Like what?” He asked cautiously.
“Woman If they have to be Revived by their Faction Goddess take a Hit on Breast and Butt size. Men on the other hand get it a little worse” She said while giggling.
“Wait what do you mean?” He asked her.
“Men just get smaller down there every time they charge in like a stupid Swinging dick. If we have to resurrect them enough times and they keep getting their teammates killed they won’t be swing’n it anymore. It’s a pretty Good Balance to idiot leaders who are too cocky; No pun intended.” She said while both of them go down to the floor laughing.
“Ahh okay”
“So, when you go in just be careful” She told him while putting her hand on her head like shes suffering from a Headache.
“May I ask a few more questions before I go Arcadia” he asked her.
You have 5 hours until that Resurrection spell wears off so go for it” She replied to him.
“When I first came in here, I was scared and alone, but When you touched me it felt like a Succubus’s calming aura. Can you please answer what I felt that?” He asked her while feeling her hair and skin.
“I am the Goddess of Crossroads my friend. You could say I am Death itself who takes no sides. I am also the goddess of Ghosts, which honestly you are right now. I naturally Have a way with making things spirits calm down. I’m Glad you are cool and collective right now” She Told him.
He Grabs her hair and looks at her outfit.
Second question “Why do you look like a hornless Scene Heckapoo?”
“Don’t call me a Scene Poser! I am Emo! And I don’t know what Heckapoo is!” She shot back at him with a Temper.
“Oh, I am Sorry, I didn’t know” He Said apologetically to Her.
“Da They Tried to Ban Emo’s in Russia’s when I was there. That’s why I am Wearing this telnyashka shirt in Disagreement with them. She said while Shooting the Bird at the Ground”
“But Yes, I am Team Emo all day. It piss’s me off when I get called anything other then that” She told him while slapping the back of his head.
“But you don’t have black hair I thought that was the norm” He shot back playfully.
“Who Fucking cares. I’m Agnostic so I have the right to believe in both colored hair and an emo Lifestyle. I listen to all the music, I been thought some pretty rough shit, and I sit inside all day because my Rivals have locked me out of the world. I Don’t want to have the Emo/Scene Debate right now buddy. I am not a fucking myspace addicted, Coloring book obsessed scene girl who goes Rawr! All the time.” She explained with a high energy smile.
“Also, who is Heckapoo?” She asked him.
“It’s a Character from a Star Vs the Forces of Evil, A show I was getting into before I died. She had that type of tiara and Neckless you had on” He told Her.
“Oh, ya this little thing? I got this from Discordia before we broke up. It’s pretty fucking kick ass! You should see my Staff!” She said as she calls it to her.
A staff then comes out the back of the room and lands in her hand. Her staff was Blue and green like her hair and had 2 small Round bands on it that were Orange. Embedded on top of the Yew Staff was a Blue Heart shaped Gemstone that had a Green Unicursal Hexagram carved into it. Her staff also emitted a Blue flame out of the top of the Gem. Below the base of the gem the word was the words “I Will Prevail” In White letters
“Holy Crap that completes your appearance so good!” He said while Amazed at her look.
“Why thank you!” She said while sending him a flirty look.
Suddenly music was playing again from the outside.
Zephyr just put on the song “Scream” From Breakaway and was dead inside and screaming her heart and soul out over Ryan’s dead body.
“Ugg” Arcadia said while in pain. She had her hand on her forehead as if suffering from a migraine.
“I can hear her prayers. Shes Screaming and Begging me to bring you back. You better go” She said while sending him a smile.
“But I really don’t want to go. Look the minute I go out there, Shit will hit the fan. Your fucking amazing Arcadia. I wish I knew you back on earth. We could have been great friends” He told her while feeling a little scared of Zephyr.
She smiles at him and puts her hands on his forehead.
“Hear her Prayers” She told him with a smile.
Ryan could hear weeping coming from her, and Her screaming for help. You could hear her begging and screaming for him back. You could hear her weeping and it sounded as if Ryan was all she had left in this world. Then came a dark prayer.
“Lady Arcadia, if you can’t give him back to me, please let me die in my sleep. Please let my soul be at peace with him forever”
“Hmm You better go, before she comes up here with you” Arcadia Said while feeling a little disappointed in Zephyr.
Suddenly she leans down and looks at a neckless he had on.
“Hey, is that Harmonia’s Neckless?” she asked him.
“No? I brought this in here with me” She said while taking a neckless of his shirt.
“Let me see that” She asked him.
He takes it off his neck and give it to her.
The neckless had a picture of a Princess being carried by a Knight and had the words “Carry Me”
“Where did you get this? And why would you wear it?” She asked in a Serious tone.
“My mom gave it to me 6 months ago” He replied to her.
“This looks like Harmonia’s.” she said while scratching her head.
“What was your mothers birth name if you don’t mind me asking” She asked him while putting the neckless back on him.
“Minerva Erica Wildwood why?” He asked feeling weird about her new weird vibe.
“Oh nothing” she said with a Big smile. Suddenly she Kiss’s him on the lips and shoots him a Crazy smile. She then Pushes him out the portal.
“Give that kiss to Zephyr for me”
She said as he fell backwards through the portal into the Realm.
With the Song still Blasting, He wakes up to Both Liz, and Zephyr Crying on him. Kannell was on the ground with her head between her knees suffering from a breakdown of her own, while Citra was sitting next to her trying to calm her down. The outside of the back yard looks like it took a Direct Atomic blast, and Greena, the Hero of this battle was no where to be found, no traces of her body or clothes were around.
When he opened his eyes, He did it slowly, and heard the girls crying over him.
“He saved my life! But I don’t want him to go! He is such an important friend! Please give him back to me Bunnell!” He heard Liz praying through her tears. Suddenly Zephyrs overly sensitive Face Detects a heartbeat. She then moves her ears over his heart and hears a beautiful song coming from his body. She starts purring and hopes this will heal his wounds.
When he gets up to 20% health, he shoots up dizzy and lightheaded and grabs Zephyr and pulls her to his face. He kiss’s her while she was still Crying, and this kiss felt calm and hopeful. He felt alive without and stress, and weight on his shoulders. Arcadia did something to him, and he didn’t know what. But he Absolutely missed Zephyr for those past 45 minutes he has been dead.
Liz stayed on him still praying when he grabbed her and started making out with her. She was crying and thanking for the gift they have back in their life.
Kannell on the other hand was Shocked and suffering a PTSD episode from Greena’s Martyrdom blast, and Ryan’s death. Citra see’s him gets up and gets her attention. She runs over the pile of girls and Hugs him too.
Ryan started Crying, after he kissed Zephyr being happy, he was alive. He held Zephyr tight in his arms and pulled her all the way over her.
“My heart cover it with your life next time, Baby” He told her while crying and putting her hand over his heart.
“I promise I will, I wont ever let you go again. You don’t know how much I love you! And you don’t know how mad I am at myself for failing to protect my future king!” Zephyr said while Crying.
There was a moment of silence after that for Greena’s Sacrifice. Then everyone Went inside without saying a word. Kannell and Liz made dinner for everyone while clearly traumatized by what happened an hour and Thirty minutes ago. Everyone was silent and shaken up.
Citra was inside the room with them and helping them cut up onions in her blue haired Human form.
Zephyr knew this was the same girl from the other night who he caught making out with, but since she showed her valor and merit in battle decided to forgive her just this once.
During the cooking of the Fish and chicken Liz had to ask a question shes been dying to know throughout this whole battle.
“So, you killed my aunt?” Liz asked in a depressed tone to Citra.
“Yes, I did” She said with regret.
“Don’t be sorry” Liz replied back to her.
“Wait really?” Citra replied feeling shocked
“She had my parents killed. Retribution was served. Along with all the other greedy Basterds who let me rot in Staug City over a stupid Crown” Liz said in a dark tone.
“Well I didn’t originally want to do it” She said while chopping onions.
“Tell me what happened that night” She asked.
“Me and the 3 Sisters were told about a Party going down over here 15 years ago, and wanted some hot Rich Royal ass, so we disguised our self’s in our hunter form, and got close. When we found out our targets, they were all on your Aunts side of the family. When Sydney, one of my sisters got a hold of a drunk man, he was bragging about being the mastermind for a group of thugs that killed your parents. Sydney died in the 200’s because of war and what men did to her before her death. She was left trapped in a building till her soul materialized into a Succubus with vengeance against all men. She was there in the woods when you were crying Liz after your mother was killed in front of you. She killed one of the horny bandits that fled into the woods honestly.” She Paused while grabbing another onion.
“But when she told all of us about it when we were getting ready to lure our men into bed. The order from Madison to kill every single Sanford in the household was given. I was forced to pour Poison into the Wine and all the Drinks the ladies were indulging in. When We killed some of the men, the woman of the house hit the ground from the nightshade poison I gave them. About 4 hours later the Hawthorns from her side of the family arrived with more Sanford’s and a Blood bath ensued. Everyone single one of them killed each other because of us.” Citra explained.
“Oh, I see. Look I’m not mad. I’m a Stronger person now then I could have ever been. Look Vedra took care of me and straightened my ass up. We can’t change the past. But my Aunt Mary is in hell right now. That’s all that matters. Sure, I didn’t get to know the rest of my immediate family, but hey what are we going to do about it? If my parents didn’t die, I wouldn’t be this Strong independent woman I am now. I’ve accepted that fact now. Sure I don’t have a crown to wear, but If I ever did get one I’m not going to be as stuck up as Queen moon, I would be more like my best friend Zephyr and Ryan here” She told Citra while hugging both of them.
“Oh, I see” Citra replied to her.
“Who set the Needle Trap for me?” She asked her.
“I think that may have been your Aunt. I remember seducing a man in your parents room and when I landed down on the bed something poking me. But me being part Demon I am immune to that stuff. After I got his soul, I took that needle that was full of poison and put it in the Drinks” She replied.
Everyone was looking at Kannell who was Crying with her head down on the table. She stands up and Grabs Liz and teleports into town without any warning.
“What is the deal with her?” Ryan asked wondering about her pain.
“I think shes suffering from PTSD. Greena was covering her ass pretty hard there in stage 3” Citra Replied.
“Oh alright” Ryan said while feeling a little bit Traumatized himself.
Zephyr lays her head on him and is also Scared still for almost losing him.
They sit in silence for 5 minutes then hear a knock at the door. Ryan gets up and answers it. Kannell was at the door with Liz and 4 bags full of wine and Liquor. She starts drinking it in front of them. She then goes in the living room and lays on the couch. Ryan gets up and gives her a hug, Rubs her back, and kiss’s her cheek. He leaves his cellphone on the table in front of her. He then walks back into the kitchen. They all eat dinner without her and hear her Crying and weeping.
They could hear the song “Monsters” From Shinedown Playing.
She could be heard screaming “They all Died because of me! Every last one of them died! And I am to blame! I shouldn’t be alive! They should be!” She screamed over the song.
Hearing This makes everyone think about what the hell she did before moving to Staug. Her fighting Was incredible, and her spells were incredibly Precise and on target.
Everyone after dinner hugs her tight to show her shes not alone. Even the Ryan, the one who died and Came back noticed so much fear and Regret built up inside of her. He didn’t see the fight and didn’t know what happened but wants to forget about this whole mess.
After they give her a Support hug, they all go to their rooms. Kannell pass’s out drunk and sleeps on the couch and Citra stays out with her. Ryan goes into Zephyrs Room, and lays on her bed with her, and Liz still scared and emotional Damaged from losing Vedra and almost losing Ryan, Sleeps in the same bad as them. Before she was allowed to get in the bed though she had to take off her dirty night gown she fought in. She runs into her room and puts on a blue and green dress. She sleeps on the right side of Ryan while Zephyr sleeps on the Left him. Ryan felt extreamly cared for while both of them laid on him. While he was trying to go to bed, he was trying to think really hard about why Arcadia Freaked out about his neckless. He also thinks about how this game was one big mess up from the Gods themselves. Before he goes to bed, he Kiss’s Zephyr again on cheek. He then Closes his eyes and goes to bed.
