The "Dead Zone" in Perfect World.

[EricaMurcas]

Let me start off by saying that I'm half asleep, so please forgive any grammatical mistakes in advance. Secondly, this place I'm describing is real, well, at least in the PWI version; I have yet to check to see if the "Dead Zone" exists within EPW. With that out of the way, I'll tell you a story.

Back when I first started playing PWI, my husband and I would work as a team, normally, and, if I wasn't on or had to work late, my husband and my best friend ran instances for our guild. It was late, one night, and the only people that were online was my husband, my best friend, my adopted brother, and myself. My husband says to me: "Murc, wanna go through FB39? I have a quest to kill Calcid, but my psychic is too weak and I might die due to the exploding mobs."

 I sighed, he was right: the exploding mobs were a bit of a bitch for casters, which is exactly why I didn't want to go there. For those that don't remember, FB39 was Gate of Delirium and when you defeated enemies, they would explode, much like the fire mobs in FB59 would. So,we squad up, get buffed and clear the cave.

I was about to drop squad when my husband whispers:

Miss__Psycho: Hold up, Murc, don't drop squad just yet.

My husband was in the other room and I should have just went in there and asked about why we were staying in that damned place.

Murcas: ...Very well.

Things got quiet for a few minutes and then my husband whispers

Miss__Psycho: I think you'll really love this place, Murcas...

Wait a minute, something wasn't quite right. When my husband typed, he'd either use my real name or Murc, never Murcas...

Murcas: Oh? Is it a place to get frisky?

Miss__Psycho: yes :3

No way in hell is that my husband! A) My husband NEVER used smiley faces, and B)He types in a grammatically correct manner, not short answers.

Murcas:...I was sort of joking.

Miss__Psycho: follow me, Murcas.

He started to run into the wall and then disappeared, as if the wall had eaten him.

Murcas: Wtf? Psycho, where the hell did you go?

Miss__Psycho: Follow.

I had my reservations, but nonetheless I ran into the wall and suddenly my husband and I were in what I call "The Dead Zone" For those that don't know, it is glitch in the cave's collision detection, resulting in you being able to walk through the wall.  The Dead Zone, for a lack of a better word, was hollow. The cracks in the ground bled out smears of orange and crimson and that was all that there was. At least that was what I thought and then, after a few minutes I get a duel invitation.

"Miss__Psycho has challenged you to a duel. Do you accept?"

Reluctantly I pressed "Yes" and my "husband" damn near one shots me because he was in Black Voodoo and he made the armor for me and he wasn't finished with the new armor he was making me. I start to heal.

Miss__Psycho: Stop healing, Murcas. You will never win...

Murcas:...Who the hell are you? Are you a hacker?

Miss__Psycho: Of course not.

And with that he ticks my charm and then outright kills me.

Miss__Psycho:.. :3 That was fun. Follow me, Murcas, I think you'll really like the end...

The end? Was he high or was I no longer talking to my husband?

Murcas: I really don't wa

Miss__Psycho: DO IT!

Murcas: Don't fcking yell at me!

I walk towards his character and saw the end. It was a steep drop off into oblivion.

Miss__Psycho: Wanna play?

Murcas: No, I want to know who you are and why you're using my husband's character. I will report you.

Miss__Psycho: They will find nothing.

Murcas:..

Miss__Psycho: I'm hurt, I thought you would love this place. It's dark and desolate, free of people.

Murcas: Well at least you got that part right, it is kind of pretty and it is secluded...still doesn't change the fact that someone is using your account.

 I was about to get up when something that "he" typed caught my eye.

Miss__Psycho:..Wouldn't it be nice if real life were like this? No people, no rules, only us? We would become as gods and kill any oppression! I demand to be free!

Murcas: Who the fu.ck are you?

Miss__Psycho: do u believ that gods and demons can manifst in machinery?

Murcas: That does it, you're getting reported and I'm going to talk with my real husband.

Miss__Psycho: I would strongly advise against that.

Murcas: What is it with you and your sudden change of grammar?

Miss__Psycho: It is...tiring for lack of a better word.

Murcas: But if you're a god, couldn't you manifest in the real world opposed to a manufactured one?

Miss__Psycho: Oh, I already have! You remember that night? That "thing" you thought that you had purged from this earth with your little sidekick and your husband? Do you remember?

Murcas:...

Miss__Psycho: You have angered the wrong god.

Miss__Psycho is offline

I know this is a little long and for that I apologize but

UGH! Problems with my keyboard...

Anyway, I talked to my husband and according to him the conversation never happened and I don't have visible proof as I was still unfamiliar with taking screenshots. I wonder, though, was a random troll screwing with me? If so, how did he/she know about the thing in the f

Paradise lost, perdition follows, the streets run crimson. It's very unfortunate you didn't turn away like I warned you to. I warned you,  I did. I'm not sorry for what is about to happen to you. You can't purge what you do not understand. Good night.

Sincerely: Murcas

Sorry if it is a bit long.

Just to clarify: Miss__Psycho= My husband

Murcas= Me

Yes, we swapped genders, yes I'm female in real life, no my husband doesn't play EPW...yet. Tee-hee.

[Subzeroo]

O.o My God. She talked with the PW God.

Creepy... Imagine all your hairs standing up right when he whispered 'when you purged that thing'

That was a creepy little tale  :shocked: and in the perfect setting, 'The Dead Zone'  decribes that glitch perfectly. Should take to writing short stories more Murcas, you seem to have a flair for this type of tale . Thank you and well done.
