CURSING YOU WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF MY EXISTENCE

EPPRBCU Blog made by the same person who runs the Bug Trio. Help me.

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

Hi!!! I’m Hecx. It’s not misspelled, I promise!! It’s just uhm. I dunno why it’s spelled like that. I don’t remember my real name, so I went with it. Anyways!! I curse people!!! Muahahaha!!! >:DDDD

Uhm, if you manage to make it through the day I’ll give you a scratch & sniff sticker!!! They smell awesome!!! But, uhm, if you don’t like them, I can try & find a cool rock for you!

Uhm… What else… WAIT THE TAGS!!!

Accursed Gimmick — OoOoOh!!! Cursing peopleee!!!

Cursed Askbox — Talk to me! I like the company.

Cursing Exclams with my presence — Talking to other people like me!!

Cursed ramblings — I like talking about random stuff!!!

(Putting up a sign so no one harasses the child. (Referring to both me & Hecx at once.) )

Any repeat asks about wanting an Arc to be sped up, or constantly asking for Hecx to meet another !cu character will be deleted. This will only ever be addressed publicly if it gets too out of hand.

*wandering around when i spot you and float over*

Oh hello! Hi! Are you another Player? I seem to be a little uh, trapped? And could use some help

[Hecx would tilt their head.]

Player?….

…Oh! Uhm… You must be… New…

How’re you trapped?

[v1v1thecat]

Well uh I was betatesting the VR for this game and I passed out and and when I woke up the headset was gone!

Which means I can't take it off, which means I can't leave

Sorry if I'm talking fast I am REALLY PANICKING

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

[Hecx seems to stare at V1V1, just… Buffering for a moment to process this.]

You’re dead. Sorry.

Your soul was put into the game through the headset I think.

It’s not too bad. At least you’re not stuck as a shadow on a wall like me.

[v1v1thecat]

WAIT IM DEAD?

How... how am I dead I was alone in my house

How does a soul even get put in a game oh my god I have so many questions-

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

Uhm… Miss? I’m like, eleven. I think.

Might be twelve, it’s hard keeping track of time here…

I’m not the person to ask, I’m sorry. I was killed by… By someone I thought I could trust at the time. In Elysium.

So I dunno how they got to you.

Sorry…

[v1v1thecat]

Was it the headset?

I remember hearing about a headset that kills you if you die in the game-

Do Elysium Brand headsets do that too...

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

I wouldn’t put it past them!

Uhm… I’m Hecx, by the way.

[They’d try putting out a hand for a handshake, but remembered they were back in the fucking building again (2D plane) and retracted their hand.]

Heheh… Force of habit.

[v1v1thecat]

Nice to meet you Hecx, I'm Vivi.

Um, also, quick question

Why are you in the wall? Not being rude I'm just confused

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

I dunno. Just stuck as a 2D Sprite!

I have a 3D model, see?

[They’d stick their arm out of the wall. Under the cartoony glove, it looked pale and almost sickly white. They waved, before going back to full 2D.]

But Adonis told me if I’m out too long I get really sick and might die. So I can’t exactly… leave the geometry.

[v1v1thecat]

Adonis? Who's that?

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

Friend of mine! He’s really nice…

He’s something called a Game Bug, so he not only knows a LOT about the game, he’s actually from it!

You shouldn’t talk to him, though. Not right now.

He and Terro have just been through a LOOOT. I have, too…

[v1v1thecat]

Wait the bugs are sentient?!?!

Oh god now I feel awful I reported a few bugs as a beta tester I didn't realize they were alive-

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

I don’t think anyone outside of Exclamania did, either. So it’s not our fault.

…I just noticed something strange about you now that I think about it.

You don’t have a punctuation.

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone without an exclamation mark or a interrobang or,… ANYTHING!

[v1v1thecat]

Is that like, a requirement here or something?

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

Sorta? I dunno.

I mean, no one doesn’t have one. So you’re some kind of an- anoma…. AN-NO-MA-LY.

Apparently the only other things that don’t naturally have a Punctuation are Game Bugs,, and I think Terro told me it’s how they express gender?

You could try that. I don’t want you to get in trouble or anything… :(

[v1v1thecat]

well that doesnt make any sense, im a beta tester, not a bug!

...right?

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

You don’t look like a bug…

You were human, right? So you’d be a human soul, not a bug. …I think.

[v1v1thecat]

but then i would have punctuation wouldnt i?

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

Yeah…

I’m stumped! Sorry.

Do you think there’s anyone in your testing group you can try to contact?

[v1v1thecat]

I've tried to call out to them for help before, i cant seem to get a hold of the rest of the group

*puts my hand on my forehead, moving my hair up a little*

ow-

*quickly moves my hand back down, the hair going back down with it*

why did that hurt-

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

[Hecx shrugged.]

I dunno. A lotta things can hurt for no reason here.

[v1v1thecat]

*puts my hand to my forehead again*

OW-

Did i cut myself or something??????

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

Can you move your bangs, please?

Looks like there’s something under there and I can check for you!

[v1v1thecat]

Alright

*closes my eyes, and moves the bangs out of the way, wincing again*

*you can now see a second pair of eyes above my first pair*

W-Well?

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

…Well, uhm…

They’re eyes.

I think you’re both. Which is…

SUPER COOL AND WEIRD!!! AWESOME!!!! Whoah…. Being part bug must be SO COOOOL!!!

[v1v1thecat]

W-Wait I am?

*opens my eyes, looking around, panicking*

No that can't be right, I'm not a bug-

How could i possibly be a bug-

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

V1V1! Uh… Calm down, please!

It’s not a bad thing I promise!

Bugs are actually some of the nicest, kindest people in Exclamania! I’m sure if you uhm. A-Ask around I’m sure they can help you!…

[v1v1thecat]

What if someone reports me and I get deleted or what if something about me is broken and stops me from doing certain things oh god no no no no no no no

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

…

If it helps… I doubt you’d get deleted.

The main bug finder is dead and gone now! (Or at least, dead as she can be.)

[v1v1thecat]

Oh thank god getting killed by the person i looked up to isnt something that can happen but ITS STILL REALLY SCARY THAT GETTING DELETED IS AN OPTION

*still panicking, talking even faster than i normally do*

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

[The silhouette’s expression turned from worry to a deadpan, slightly disturbed look.]

Person you… Look up to?

[v1v1thecat]

...what?

why are you giving me that look?

*my expression changes from panic to fear*

did i say something bad?

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

You’re talking about…. Tyria Skipper, right?

[v1v1thecat]

Yeah, best bug finder out there, part of the reason i decided to become a beta tester.

looked up to them as an idol

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

[Hecx was starting to back away from V1V1. They didn’t feel safe.]

…She… Uhm… I… I uh…

[v1v1thecat]

w-whats wrong?

are you ok?

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

[Hecx would quickly touch V1V1’s shadow]

CURSE OF: STAYING STILL FOR FIFTEEN SECONDS!!!!

[They’d dash off after applying the curse, afraid of what they think is an ally of Tyria.]

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

*wandering around when i spot you and float over*

Oh hello! Hi! Are you another Player? I seem to be a little uh, trapped? And could use some help

[Hecx would tilt their head.]

The main bug finder is dead and gone now! (Or at least, dead as she can be.)

[v1v1thecat]

Oh thank god getting killed by the person i looked up to isnt something that can happen but ITS STILL REALLY SCARY THAT GETTING DELETED IS AN OPTION

*still panicking, talking even faster than i normally do*

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

[The silhouette’s expression turned from worry to a deadpan, slightly disturbed look.]

Person you… Look up to?

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

*wandering around when i spot you and float over*

Oh hello! Hi! Are you another Player? I seem to be a little uh, trapped? And could use some help

[Hecx would tilt their head.]

Player?….

…Oh! Uhm… You must be… New…

How’re you trapped?

[v1v1thecat]

Well uh I was betatesting the VR for this game and I passed out and and when I woke up the headset was gone!

Which means I can't take it off, which means I can't leave

Sorry if I'm talking fast I am REALLY PANICKING

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

[Hecx seems to stare at V1V1, just… Buffering for a moment to process this.]

You’re dead. Sorry.

Your soul was put into the game through the headset I think.

It’s not too bad. At least you’re not stuck as a shadow on a wall like me.

[v1v1thecat]

WAIT IM DEAD?

How... how am I dead I was alone in my house

How does a soul even get put in a game oh my god I have so many questions-

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

Uhm… Miss? I’m like, eleven. I think.

Might be twelve, it’s hard keeping track of time here…

I’m not the person to ask, I’m sorry. I was killed by… By someone I thought I could trust at the time. In Elysium.

So I dunno how they got to you.

Sorry…

[v1v1thecat]

Was it the headset?

I remember hearing about a headset that kills you if you die in the game-

Do Elysium Brand headsets do that too...

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

I wouldn’t put it past them!

Uhm… I’m Hecx, by the way.

[They’d try putting out a hand for a handshake, but remembered they were back in the fucking building again (2D plane) and retracted their hand.]

Heheh… Force of habit.

[v1v1thecat]

Nice to meet you Hecx, I'm Vivi.

Um, also, quick question

Why are you in the wall? Not being rude I'm just confused

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

I dunno. Just stuck as a 2D Sprite!

I have a 3D model, see?

[They’d stick their arm out of the wall. Under the cartoony glove, it looked pale and almost sickly white. They waved, before going back to full 2D.]

But Adonis told me if I’m out too long I get really sick and might die. So I can’t exactly… leave the geometry.

[v1v1thecat]

Adonis? Who's that?

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

Friend of mine! He’s really nice…

He’s something called a Game Bug, so he not only knows a LOT about the game, he’s actually from it!

You shouldn’t talk to him, though. Not right now.

He and Terro have just been through a LOOOT. I have, too…

[v1v1thecat]

Wait the bugs are sentient?!?!

Oh god now I feel awful I reported a few bugs as a beta tester I didn't realize they were alive-

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

I don’t think anyone outside of Exclamania did, either. So it’s not our fault.

…I just noticed something strange about you now that I think about it.

You don’t have a punctuation.

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone without an exclamation mark or a interrobang or,… ANYTHING!

[v1v1thecat]

Is that like, a requirement here or something?

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

Sorta? I dunno.

I mean, no one doesn’t have one. So you’re some kind of an- anoma…. AN-NO-MA-LY.

Apparently the only other things that don’t naturally have a Punctuation are Game Bugs,, and I think Terro told me it’s how they express gender?

You could try that. I don’t want you to get in trouble or anything… :(

[v1v1thecat]

well that doesnt make any sense, im a beta tester, not a bug!

...right?

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

You don’t look like a bug…

You were human, right? So you’d be a human soul, not a bug. …I think.

[v1v1thecat]

but then i would have punctuation wouldnt i?

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

Yeah…

I’m stumped! Sorry.

Do you think there’s anyone in your testing group you can try to contact?

[v1v1thecat]

I've tried to call out to them for help before, i cant seem to get a hold of the rest of the group

*puts my hand on my forehead, moving my hair up a little*

ow-

*quickly moves my hand back down, the hair going back down with it*

why did that hurt-

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

[Hecx shrugged.]

I dunno. A lotta things can hurt for no reason here.

[v1v1thecat]

*puts my hand to my forehead again*

OW-

Did i cut myself or something??????

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

Can you move your bangs, please?

Looks like there’s something under there and I can check for you!

[v1v1thecat]

Alright

*closes my eyes, and moves the bangs out of the way, wincing again*

*you can now see a second pair of eyes above my first pair*

W-Well?

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

…Well, uhm…

They’re eyes.

I think you’re both. Which is…

SUPER COOL AND WEIRD!!! AWESOME!!!! Whoah…. Being part bug must be SO COOOOL!!!

[v1v1thecat]

W-Wait I am?

*opens my eyes, looking around, panicking*

No that can't be right, I'm not a bug-

How could i possibly be a bug-

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

V1V1! Uh… Calm down, please!

It’s not a bad thing I promise!

Bugs are actually some of the nicest, kindest people in Exclamania! I’m sure if you uhm. A-Ask around I’m sure they can help you!…

[v1v1thecat]

What if someone reports me and I get deleted or what if something about me is broken and stops me from doing certain things oh god no no no no no no no

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

…

If it helps… I doubt you’d get deleted.

The main bug finder is dead and gone now! (Or at least, dead as she can be.)

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

Uhm… Miss? I’m like, eleven. I think.

Might be twelve, it’s hard keeping track of time here…

I’m not the person to ask, I’m sorry. I was killed by… By someone I thought I could trust at the time. In Elysium.

So I dunno how they got to you.

Sorry…

[v1v1thecat]

Was it the headset?

I remember hearing about a headset that kills you if you die in the game-

Do Elysium Brand headsets do that too...

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

I wouldn’t put it past them!

Uhm… I’m Hecx, by the way.

[They’d try putting out a hand for a handshake, but remembered they were back in the fucking building again (2D plane) and retracted their hand.]

Heheh… Force of habit.

[v1v1thecat]

Nice to meet you Hecx, I'm Vivi.

Um, also, quick question

Why are you in the wall? Not being rude I'm just confused

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

I dunno. Just stuck as a 2D Sprite!

I have a 3D model, see?

[They’d stick their arm out of the wall. Under the cartoony glove, it looked pale and almost sickly white. They waved, before going back to full 2D.]

But Adonis told me if I’m out too long I get really sick and might die. So I can’t exactly… leave the geometry.

[v1v1thecat]

Adonis? Who's that?

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

Friend of mine! He’s really nice…

He’s something called a Game Bug, so he not only knows a LOT about the game, he’s actually from it!

You shouldn’t talk to him, though. Not right now.

He and Terro have just been through a LOOOT. I have, too…

[v1v1thecat]

Wait the bugs are sentient?!?!

Oh god now I feel awful I reported a few bugs as a beta tester I didn't realize they were alive-

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

I don’t think anyone outside of Exclamania did, either. So it’s not our fault.

…I just noticed something strange about you now that I think about it.

You don’t have a punctuation.

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone without an exclamation mark or a interrobang or,… ANYTHING!

[v1v1thecat]

Is that like, a requirement here or something?

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

Sorta? I dunno.

I mean, no one doesn’t have one. So you’re some kind of an- anoma…. AN-NO-MA-LY.

Apparently the only other things that don’t naturally have a Punctuation are Game Bugs,, and I think Terro told me it’s how they express gender?

You could try that. I don’t want you to get in trouble or anything… :(

[v1v1thecat]

well that doesnt make any sense, im a beta tester, not a bug!

...right?

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

You don’t look like a bug…

You were human, right? So you’d be a human soul, not a bug. …I think.

[v1v1thecat]

but then i would have punctuation wouldnt i?

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

Yeah…

I’m stumped! Sorry.

Do you think there’s anyone in your testing group you can try to contact?

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

*wandering around when i spot you and float over*

Oh hello! Hi! Are you another Player? I seem to be a little uh, trapped? And could use some help

[Hecx would tilt their head.]

Player?….

…Oh! Uhm… You must be… New…

How’re you trapped?

[v1v1thecat]

Well uh I was betatesting the VR for this game and I passed out and and when I woke up the headset was gone!

Which means I can't take it off, which means I can't leave

Sorry if I'm talking fast I am REALLY PANICKING

[authority-point-that-curses-you]

[Hecx seems to stare at V1V1, just… Buffering for a moment to process this.]

You’re dead. Sorry.

Your soul was put into the game through the headset I think.

It’s not too bad. At least you’re not stuck as a shadow on a wall like me.

[v1v1thecat]

WAIT IM DEAD?
