"I got more good news and bad news chat," I announced as I got out of the shower, rubbing water droplets out of my undone air. "There seems to be a never-ending stream of them recently."

[REPENT FOR YOUR SINS!! THE END IS NEIGH AND YOUR ACTIONS ARE INCITING THE DEMONS OF HELL TO TRIGGER THE RAPTURE]

[I still can't believe you legitimately survived that. How did you irl roll a nat 20 on luck and survivability???]

[Sorry Mel, but I'm starting to believe the people claiming this is all fake. Because like....just how!? None of this seems real.]

[You're hair looks very pretty today!]

"Why thanks! I used the last of my conditioner on it, so this is the last you'll ever see my hair look like this unless I'm able to grow the ingredients." I reply to the one decent comment I was willing to engage in.

I came out of the shower in a bathrobe and made my way to sit on the edge of my bed.

I wore a robe instead of my usual towel because I'd been warned by the platform admins that I risked indecent exposure and a towel was too provocative, revealing, and inciting.

They're just professional haters, if you ask me.

"I'm still holding out hope for a miracle on the avocado garden, and divine intervention with the synthetic coconut oil I'm working on. Mix that with extracted avocado oil and my hair is golden and good to go for another 3 years out here." I strategize to the near millions of people watching.

[Intervention is truly what you need!! Like what sins did you commit in a past life to invoke such a demon to come after you!? You must be a wretched creature, indeed!! 🔥🔥🔥]

I briskly walk over to my desk and pull out my keyboard.

"Block....words.... 'intervention' .... 'demon' .... 'summon' .... 'commit' ..... and 'invoke'. Anything else I missed?"

Word suggestions came pouring in of what else I should add to my block list.

[Ou! Add 'rapture!' ☝🏽]

[Don't forget 'repent'!!🐍]

[Throw in 'sins' for good measure!! I'd say add 'pray', but that's too broad and some people genuinely send well wishes 🤷🏽‍♀️]

[This is censorship!!! My right to free speech is being suppressed!!]

[Add 'free speech' and 'suppress' as well Mel 😆]

"I like the way you all think." A grin forms as I furiously typed away.

I settle in and finish typing when the package Leo and Dion sent me caught my eye.

"Oh yeah, let's check what this is-"

BEEEEEEEEP!!!

A loud siren cut of all my thoughts, and all the lights in my room turn blood red.

I freeze before I grab hold of the tiny item.

My screen showings in big bold blue letters among the sea of red:

EMERGENCY MEETING!!!

"Gah! Patch it through then!!" I cry as I block my ears against the assault of loud noises.

Good thing my doors were closed, otherwise this piercing nose could attract back that unholy monster or something.

I walk up to my main computer ready to rip my cords out to make the siren stop when the video screen on my monitor cuts to a board room full of unhappy-looking people.
