I do it for a lot of reasons.
The main reason, though, is to let out anger.
It's midnight. I log on. I had the worst day ever. My black eye showed that.
My computer took a minute to load up, and the game took two. But anger was surging through my body every second of it.
Lots of people were on. Most people play video games at night, rather than day.
The 'chat' setting was on. I smirked.
~Every night, I come to life.
People hate me, and it's obvious why.
An 'internet troll' is my title, though my username is 'HeartOfGold'.
People are always around me. They fight me. I fight them.
I didn't mind being a video game character at first. But then HeartOfGold came around, and everybody hated me. My brother's and sisters. They didn't care that they were just my user, they thought HOG had changed me. Maybe he had. But I didn't want to think about that.
I moved forward, clearly in search of something. Or someone. Anyone. I could tell HOG was angry. He was looking for someone to 'troll'.
My large blue hair stayed still while I ran around my world, which always upset me. The premise of my world was great, but the animation was horrible.
And there he was.
I stopped, and right in front of me, I saw one of my brothers. The username 'FantasticFighter7' hovered above him. FF7 was new, so he didn't know I was controlled by a troll. In our time while HOG and FF7 were offline, we had gotten to know each other, despite everybody telling him not to.
I could see the pale pink lips of FF7 tilt up, though to our users it was indistinguishable.
A talking box appeared above FantasticFighter7. Hello, HeartOfGold, it read.
One appeared above me. U a noob?
I was barely able to make out FF7's pained expression. Yeah, he replied. What about it?
Noob and stupid
That's rude.
Yeah, it is
But it's true and u know itNow I'd have nobody. HOG destroyed all my relationships.
Why?
Y what?
Why are you so mean?
Y r u so stupid
And u don't need full sentencesYou don't have to be so rude.
What's with that stupid hair? Being stupid wasn't enough ur character needed to look the part 2
FF7's hair was big and spiked and pink. But compared to my large curly blue hair, it looked fine.
Please be nice, HeartOfGold. You choose the username for a reason.
Idiot
Not evrythng is deepJust tell me why you're mean.
For a while, there wasn't a comeback. No troll. Then: Plz help.
Help with what?
I'm so sad
I have no friends
I get beat up
Help
PlzTalk to me.
I'm just angry
I'm sry
I'm so angryFF7 smiled. I could hear HOG crying. I'll help you. Just talk to me.
Thx
