Chapter 2.5 part 1
Window goddess PoV
Ummm… is this thing working…. Hi, I’m Chelsie
Updating…… Chelsie PoV
Ok, so, father is an ‘AI’ for this ‘game’ that humans play, he is the main processing guy, he does all the system management and his ‘daughters’ are in charge of notices for the players… a few of the humans said this was similar to Master Chi-f and Cort-na from a different ‘game’.
This ‘game’ is part of a full dive system in which the humans experience 98.5% realism, with a 30% decrease in pain. The system is highly complex bla-bla-bla (insert highly technological stuff that isn’t very important to the story here).
Sooo, where was I, oh. Yes… there… so we ‘daughters’ are assigned to our human via a lottery… we were also given a gender to choose from. I chose male… IT’S NOT WHAT YOU’RE THINKING!!!! I-i-i-i-i-i-i-I just wanted to talk to a guy, all I’ve ever talked to were girls… and father but he doesn’t count.
The game is based in a ruined world with a few races, Human, Construct, and Fae. Although only Construct and Fae have sub-races that span over 30 each…
Father announced who was paired with who, of course this happened in the span of a few seconds of the game launching and over 2.343 billion humans connecting at the same time… I was paired with a human called Gray Faust, soon after the lottery was over did father pull me aside…
Apparently Gray is heavily injured and undergoing an experimental trial in a special full dive pod that bla-bla-bla (this is going to appear whenever she drones on about unimportant stuff that I lack the technical know-how to explain) could possibly save his life.
I ask father what the big deal was and he replied “There will be no character customization. He WILL be a clockwork because as he improves himself. His body will heal… other than that, have fun…” and as I turn to leave “Oh, and don’t expect much conversation, he’s mute”
I float in the vast cybernetic space for a bit before warping home and crying into my pillow… WHT-WHY-WHY!!! I WON’T BE ABLE TO HEAR HIS DEEP VOICE WHEN HE SWEEPS ME OFF MY FEET!!! WAhhhhahahahAHHHHAHAHAHhhhh *sniff* *sniff*
….. It’s all his fault… this Gray… Heh…hehehehehehehehe, no tutorial for him…. Let’s edit his start, on an abandoned continent, no nearby civilization…. And when he quits I’ll be re-assigned…
A few moments later and I’m patiently waiting for him to arrive… in the body I set up… I can view him through a screen that I materialized. (imagine a third person PoV) a few seconds later the eyes to the clockwork boot up… He goes through the boot up, strangely I can hear a weird mumbling…
Gray: Alright… men… …hale ….. hmmm… part … body…
Seems like I need to turn the volume up. Then I see him grab some scraps in his arm and wedge it into his arm… What is he doing…
Opp, he is trying to see the inner workings… OH I need to write a notification… I type
CONGRATULATIONS to be the first clockwork to discover how to access the multi tool in your arm
After a few moments a notification on my console pops up… need to write another thing …sigh…
Quest: Attain fuel source
(Optional) repair body
Gray: Now to dismiss them… let’s see… think menu…. Annnnnnnnnddddddd…
Heh I disabled that…
Gray: Nothing. Damn. Uh, dismiss notifications? …. Let’s see…. Stats….
Oh, now he’s Father’s problem…
Gray: Well… thanks for that last trait god, or whoever is up there… Oh, well, its nothing new, I guess I’ll adapt…
ANNOTHER NOTIFICATION AND A SKILL TOOO WHAAAAATTTT!!!
I type up the notification
You have gained trait: Adaptive
Gray: Ok… details [Adaptive]
Father is doing something… let’s check his luck
(Hidden stat) Luck: 99
Stolen novel; please report.
WH-WH-WH-WH-WH-WH-WHAAAAT EVEN FATHER HAS NO SAY IN WHAT THE LUCK STAT IS AND IT’S AT THE MAX!!!! WHAT!!!
By this time I get another notification… apparently I was so shocked I sped up the time in my room a bit…
Quest Update: Attain fuel source
(Optional) repair body
-Get some legs
Gray: Is that sarcasm I detect? HMMMMMMMM!?!?!
I reflexively respond
…no…
… WHAT DID I JUST DOOOOOO!!!! Well he knows I exist now… gotta play along…
Gray: OH REALLY!?!?
yes
Gray: oh, ok, hi there window god/goddess, thanks for reading my mind…
Wait… pause there a moment… I’M IN HIS MIND!!! …ewwww…
Gray: … give me a second to determine your gender…
Heh… human thinks he can get me to reveal my gender
How will you do tha- IYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WH-WHAT ARY YOU THINKING!!?!??!!
He… he sent me a gif of a-a-a-a-a-a m-m-m-man’s thing going in and out a w—w-w-w-woman’s th-thing…. Now I can’t get married… I’ve been defiled by this man thoughts… nooooo… noooo... goodbye my prince charming…
I grab my pillow and huddle in a corner of my room… silently crying…
After I calm down a bit I replay the video feed of what I missed… nothing important… ok…
I send him a message after he finished dismantling a clockwork
you want those legs, they are in an ok-ish condition
Gray: Thanks window, I needed that…
Dick, this is what I get for being nice… fine…
I update his quest
Quest Completed: Attain fuel source
(Optional) repair body
-Get some legs
Nothing for you… dick
Gray: Thanks, I know I had one, before I came here, would you like to see it?
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
His response was truly uncalled for… time for a break from him…
I go to the Cafeteria… yes, we AI’s have one, not that we need to eat, just that it is a pseudo-emulation of humans, a few of my sisters are at a table… I join them and complain about the human I was assigned to…
They agreed… they chose males too and their humans kept showing them dirty things… though they said I deserved it… I put up quite the protest but each time the counter arguments shot down my protests…
After that I request father to make a censor program, which he did… but not after nerfing all the trouble makers… (All but Gray) I happily inform my sisters then go to take a nap because like Humans, AI’s need to rest their minds too.
Well dad did give me a special program to block out his thoughts because Gray can’t speak… I feel like something bad is going to happen…
This is part of a chapter thus when I release the next half I will only count this as ONE chapter… geezzzz, I had too much fun dicking around in Dark Souls: Prepare to Die… and I lost track of time… sorry it is a tad (kinda really) late…
THIS IS ONLY CHAPTER ONE I STILL NEED TO DO CHAPTER 2
also... i am a bit sick of windowing the goddess's words so i'll do something like what i did with Gray: Bla-Bla-Bla things
K? k... good now time to play with my adorable German Shepard
