As a new Furcadia player circa 2001-ish, Sippy’s journey would begin thusly:
Wow. That’s a bleak way to introduce your virtual world, isn’t it?
I mean, what does this imply? The descent downward is hallowed across our storytelling canon as a symbol of descent into madness, from Dante’s Inferno to, uh, all those scenes that gave me nightmares from All Dogs Go to Heaven.
I took a day off of The Hunt, but am back into it full force this evening, starting with a game I thought would be a pretty simple generic hangout game.
Another day of The Hunt has passed. I had dreams about the Tsunami Game last night. After my daily required running around as a creature in Sonaria to restore my sanity after work, I resumed my quest for badges.
Yesterday, after 5 years of suffering with increasingly chipping and cracked wisdom teeth, I finally got accepted (after a 1 year waiting period!) by an oral surgeon covered by my insurance that agreed to remove my teeth.
For the past few days before this, my anxiety had grown exponentially, and I began to imagine worse and worse scenarios. And that was before I was asked to go off of my anti-anxiety medication in preparation for the operation!
On the drive to the hospital, I finally had enough, and I decided that instead of letting these terrible thoughts swell up in my brain forever – every single time I had a thought, I would write it down. Like casting it into a wishing well that, instead of making the wishes come true, it rather whisks them away to a place that I don’t have to think about them anymore.
And so, I decided that this would be my tooth poem.
