Let's Just Say That Umbra Really Needs to Put a Lock on His Diary
Chapter 10: Chapter 9: New Name, New Life
Previous ChapterDear Diary,
Today I left behind the SysAdmins and became a traveling salesman. All in all... it's not much different from what I did in my spare time anyway. I also had a bunch of my old SysAdmin friends try to bring me back into the fold since my official status- DAMMIT DEATH- is listed under "Paid Vacation". Son of a bitch! I QUIT FOR A REASON AND I'M NOT GOING BACK. I DON'T CARE, DEATH. FINE! KEEP MY STATUS UNDER PAID VACATION. NEVER GONNA USE THAT ACCOUNT AGAIN ANYWAY.
... Okay, maybe when funds are tight, but other than that, nothing. Thank god I still have enough juice to keep my shop stocked with anything and everything.
Except the some of the stuff I only had because of my position, like Admin Essence in a Jar. Why I sold that, I will never know. Especially since it was basically the same thing as Canned Eldritch Abomination Flesh.
On a different note, I learned that, yes, I am apparently very killable now. How do I know? One of my Admin friends... I should stop calling them my old friends since we're still hanging out... got emotional, blasted me through a wall, and broke my neck in fifty four places. Thankfully, a) I'm still listed as an Eldritch Abomination, b) I had a fuckton of Admins to keep me from dying as my backup plan. Ergo, killable, but not quite. I still died for a few minutes while my neck healed, though. DEATH and I had a chat. Mostly him asking me if I wanted to take up my position again. I refused, obviously. Otherwise I'd be out fixing Universes instead of selling weird shit.
Well, I can't see the Void Code anymore... sad. It really was quite pretty to watch as it floated by in endless streams. Ah well, the real Void is much prettier. All chaotic and shifty and paradoxical. Plus, there's background noise as well. Right now it's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. A few minutes ago, it was The Complete Works of METALLICA. Wonderful.
Well, TTFN, gotta move the shop again (I made it manifest as a Space Cruiser for now) I smell a sale nearby.
