When you have a roommate, it is important for you to have mutual respect for each other so you could co-exist in peace and harmony instead of actively try to kill each other. Mom taught me respect is earned and you should respect people the way you want people to respect you.
Tent doesn't believe that apparently because he just asked me to stop snoring or else, he will smoother me to death. How mean can he be? I can't control my snoring if I am too tired damn it.
Then again, we didn't start out with mutual respect for each other since I saw his really toned butt naked, only his butt, his front part no included. I was pretty sure he was ready to kill me but because he was butt naked and had no weapons near him, he couldn't do anything. Wait, he could have strangled me to death the only logic why he didn't was because I stank like rotten eggs and he was fresh out of the shower.
As quick as a flash, he grabbed his towel from the floor to cover himself while I remained frozen by the door.
"How, the hell did you get here?" he asked, his voice no longer soothing now but dangerously low and threatening. I felt my body tremble. I lifted my wrist to blame it. Well, it was true. I was tagged and those detectors let me in, remember?
"I,I, was assigned to this room and umm, umm, I didn't know it's your room…,"I said timidly.
"GET OUT!" he roared. I stepped back out immediately. The door room promptly closed. What do I do now? I stood there like an idiot probably for a few minutes. I heard him screaming inside, probably talking to somebody but I couldn't make that out. The throbbing from my ankle came back. When I finally was about to turn and walk away to Rosie again, the door opened.
He was fully clothed this time, in his pajamas. It was pastel blue. Cute. His facial expression remained cold though as he stared at me.
"I don't know what I have done to deserve sharing my room with you but until I sorted out whose fault it was, you can stay, by the corner. Don't you dare walk around the room with your filth. Take off your boots and INTO the shower, now," he commanded.
With pleasure, I did as I was told. I took off my very tightly laced boots and went straight in the bathroom which still smelled of some floral soap. After I closed the door, I could still hear him cursing outside to someone. Ah well, not my problem at the moment.
I looked myself in the mirror. Yeah, I looked like shit. Covered with purple pup leftovers. I didn't even realize what I was wearing. A thin brown singlet shirt, covered by a faded brown jacket which definitely does not represent my fashion sense, brown khaki pants, some kind of black socks. Oh hey, the blanket I woke up with was still tucked around my waist. When did this happen?
I stripped out of my clothes and wondered what to do with my dirty clothing. In the end, I put them in the corner and turned on the shower. Ouch! I yelled when hot water scalded my skin. What the heck?! Who showers with the knob turned all the way to hot? Oh, him. Quickly I adjusted the temperature to normal and calmed down. I saw the bottle of body soap which smelled like him earlier. After hesitating for a bit, I decided to just use the soap. Hey, he did ask me to get myself cleaned.
As I was soaping myself, I began to massage my neck and felt a bump on my left. Strange. Wait, what if this is some sign I'll turn into zombie? Shit! Will it be contagious? If he finds out, will he kill me? I rubbed on the bump a little hard but it was not painful and all.
"Please tap again to activate the main menu,"
I looked around. What was it that I heard? Am I hallucinating already? Huh?
"I said, please tap again your stupid neck to activate the damn main menu,"
Ok, I'm hearing a voice to ask me to press tab on a button on my neck. I stupidly did.
A holographic face appeared in front of me.
"Hello stupid, took you long enough to realize this button. I'm the Game Master,"
Have I told you I'm scared of ghosts? No? Ok.
I'm scared of ghost. This was all Uncle Jiro's fault for telling me ghost stories since I was young. I hate the thought of something appearing in front of me and I hate watching horror movies where the ghosts jump out and gives you a boo. The last time Beach made me watch a horror movie, I had to sleep with the lights on for three days.
How did I survive creating a zombie game then? Did I tell you my Attack Of The Zombie game consist of only cutie zombies and monsters design? No? Ok.
After the face popped-up, I blacked out because the next time I woke up, I was already on a fluffy bed this time.
"If you aren't dead you should wake up now and put on some clothes," I opened my eyes to see him starring at me while leaning against a wall, his arms crossed.
I felt cold. When my vision cleared up, only I noticed I was butt naked. Wow. He dragged me out but didn't bother to cloth me…WAIT. That means he saw me BUTT and FRONT naked?! Umm…, never mind. I quickly wrapped the thick blanket on the bed around me.
"What happened?" I asked, naturally.
"You yelled and passed out in the bathroom. When I found you, too bad you didn't drown so I had to drag you out," he said. I touched my neck again. Shit, the bump was still there. Not a dream or hallucination then.
Should I press it again?
"What's wrong with your neck?" he noticed. His tone of voice changing again.
"Um, I umm," I stuttered.
"Seriously, press the tab and activate the main game menu," the same voice again!
"Did you hear it?" I suddenly asked out loud. He doesn't look too happy. Yup, his suspicion on me definitely grew.
"What did you hear exactly?" he changed his pose to combat position. Ok, he is going to kill me.
"I, I, I….,"
He didn't wait for me to reply and lunged towards me. I closed my eyes and braced myself for the impact, for any pain to come. Nothing.
What?
"Main game menu activated. Hello, I'm Game Master, how can I help you?"
I gently opened my eyes and saw him frozen in mid lung.
Behind him was the same holographic face, only now with a full figure in blue.
BLUE ghost!?
"Wha, wha, what!!!" even my voice stopped half way.
"I think you should save your game progress now. Please choose "Save"" the figure said as two giant holographic words float up midair with the words [Save] or [Nah, continue].
What do I do? What do I do?!
"Just tap on the word, I'll sense it and save your choice,"
With shaky hands, I tap the [Save] word mid-air.
"Progress saved. Now do you need me to run through this game's tutorial?"
I looked at him frozen and looked back the holographic figure and nodded.
"Geez, you are the dumbest player I have in the list, wait up, I'll start the scene again,"
With that, my surrounding turned black. Even HE disappeared.
FUCK!?
Ok, gotta go do my laundry. Tent doesn't let me keep unwashed clothes around more than 3 hours.
