Chapter 23 - CPU's Are Weird, Everyone Is Weird

Hello there people. Of course that was a lie because none of us are truly real. We live in a simulation.

Anyway, I'm going to start.

____________________________________________

It has been a full month now since Connor got back from the crazy adventure he went on.

Life has been rather calm since then.

However one thing that has changed is that the guys he met at R18 Island have become his friends now.
Today they planned to go to Connor's place to fuck around and play games.

Right now, they were all taking turns trying to beat Furnace at Dragon Ball FighterZ.

They're fighting an AI that can actually talk and isn't just a mindless computer.

"Normally the AI has no idea how to use Cell." Mark commented.

"I know." Kris nodded in agreement.

Lenny was currently playing and he was even with Furnace.

"Why the fuck did I pick Jiren?" He asked himself.

"I haven't a clue. I'd have gone with Gogeta." Connor shrugged.

"You play Gogeta?" Daniel asked him.

"One of me best characters." Connor told him.

"What's your absolute best one? For me it's probably Broly." Daniel told him. "DBS Broly."

"I think that'd be Frieza, but not sure."

"Son of a bitch." Lenny cursed.

They looked at the screen to see Lenny lost.

"Alright Connor you're up."

Connor nodded.

He grabbed his controller and was thinking of what team to pick.

After a second of thinking he went with 17, Videl and Frieza.

"Cool team brah." Furnace complimented and the game started.

Up in Planeptune's Basilicom sat the four CPU's who were sitting at a table talking.
This was their second meet up to "talk about their feelings" and they were getting rather used to it already.

They definitely felt like it was easier to open up to each other.

Right now Noire was talking.

"I don't know why it's embarrassing to admit, but it just is. I don't like people knowing I like to cosplay. I'm scared of being judged I guess." She said with her chin resting on the table.

"Huh... Well. If you want my opinion." Blanc leaned forward. "People will definitely judge you. You get used to it and eventually learn to ignore it. I get judged a lot with my anger and for swearing in front of Rom and Ram. You wouldn't believe the amount of rumours that show up saying I treat them both poorly and... While I feel I do sometimes, they seem happy and I would never treat them poorly."

"Exactly. It's just random people's opinions. Maybe you'll end up doing weird cosplay and we might look at it and think "well that's sort of weird" but we still support you for doing something you like." Neptune told her.

"And we won't say a thing to anyone about it. That's your private business." Vert added.

"Thanks..."

Blanc then remembered something.

"Hey, Noire. I remember when we were fighting Arfoire, Uni didn't have her ridiculously large gun and had those gauntlet things. How did she do that?" Blanc asked.
