Reality Intrudes (video)

"They say you shouldn't give out much identifying information, but honestly, fuck it, at this point even I believe I'm a fiction piece." Michael runs their hands through their hair and is sitting in some library-- the stacks are behind them and they're just... They're masked up and they're sitting there and they look.

So tired.

"I just... I got so many messages from people asking how I did it, what special effects I used, the wig I wore--" They paused. "I even got a job offer in post production for the Industry. I might still take it. But, uh--"

"Like, on the one hand, I remember-- I remember the CG work, the model, the voice changer--" they paused. "and. on the other. I remember it actually happening. the sharp moment of pain, and discontinuity. Walking among... people I didn't even know existed."

"... am I just losing my grip?" They take a deep breath. "That's enough of that though I came to talk about my classes."

"So I'm in nerd school for nerds, I'm understanding calculus..." They sigh. "I... I should start this over."

Michael should know by now, though, that it's hard to get badgernet to get rid of content.

So BadgerNet has those really weird reality glitches and you were hit by one.

I guess that's how this place works. It fixes the reality after for everyone around, but we still remember what actually happens. I guess talking about how it works goes into theoretical physics, and I don't know enough about that. Wish I did, though.
