It is nice to now know what the passives are but that last damn one pissed me off!
Trying to calm myself down I look at the attributes section. Hopefully this one will tell me something good-
Attributes-
Strength - Trash
Speed - Trash
Stamina - Trash
Endurance - Trash
…
…
…
…

'Did… did I just get called trash?' I stare flabbergasted seeing my own system call me trash.
…
'N-no! Your fucking trash! What do you mean I'm trash?! What even is this?!' I scream in my mind, feeling angry seeing the word trash spread across my screen.
'How about not being so fucking vague?! How about not forcing me to pass out in the middle of a cycle?! YOUR TRASH, NOT ME!'
…
…
…
After silently screaming to myself for a while cursing at the screen I finally calm down and accept it.
'Yeah… I'm trash… I know… you don't have to remind me…' I admit after going through all 5 stages of grief.
Even if I'm trash… I can still help Inv though…
Looking past the term Trash I look at what seems to be my physical 'stats'.
'It's kinda weird though… wouldn't this usually be determined with like… numbers and levels? This is just telling me what my stat is?' I think to myself while looking closely at the screen.
Strength is… well that's pretty self explanatory. I am pretty weak.
Speed… I don't think I'm that slow?? I guess mostly everything can outrun me though…
Stamina… ok, yeah. I guess I can agree with that. I can barely run full sprint for a couple seconds before running out of breath.
Endurance is an interesting one… I'm pretty sure if I was pretty sturdy I would still die pretty easily here… maybe having a high endurance would be useful for other things?
Looking over the stats, I start growing slightly optimistic compared to earlier. Sure I might be trash in all of these right now… but…
That won't be the case forever, right?
'Now the question is how do I get higher attributes? It's not like I have a guide or anything…'
The prospect of being able to grow stronger is enticing. I just need to figure out how it works…
…
'Ugh… I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually…' Trying to click all over the screen I get nothing else to pop up on the attributes section.
With nothing else to see there, I move to the last thing I saw.
Notes+
Huh, what could Notes be? Pressing the notes section it opens up to only show me one thing.
Notes-
001.txt
???
What is that??
Pressing the weird number it surprisingly opens!
Reminder to self, use claws on Inv while touching him.
Haha what?! What is this?! Why is the system saying this?!
Trying to think of why it would say this I remember when I showed Inv how dull my claws were. He seemed to… react positively to my claws…
'Yeah… didn't the system randomly say something during that moment? And I just threw it to the back of my mind since I was too… uhm, preoccupied?'
It said something like… noted??
So, it noted down what I was thinking at the time?
…
Seeing an option to back out, I look at the strange text again.
001.txt
…
Isn't this… just a text file from my world?? Something you would use on a computer???
Slowly I start remembering what it was like typing on a computer. It's been a long while since I used such advanced technology.
If this is just like typing on a computer… then maybe?
Thinking to myself, I attempt to rename the file.
First note.txt
Woah! It worked! And it was basically instant too!
As if discovering a new toy I start messing around with this.
…
First note.txt
Testing.txt
After a bit of time I found out I can actually make more text files on command! Entering the testing file I see a single sentence repeated over a 100 times.
This is a test.
That but basically 100 times. It's weird. I don't need a keyboard to actually put something down! I just need to use my head and it just puts it down for me! Word by word!
'This could be pretty useful in case I forget about anything. With being able to put anything I want into words almost instantly, I can just look at the file later if I need to look at it again!'
…
First note.txt
Testing.txt
Inv Worship.txt
'Haha what!? That's not what I wanted to put down! Change it!'
Inv Observation.txt
Ok better… that would've been embarrassing if anyone saw that… they would think I'm a freak or something!
Opening the Inv file I start putting down everything I know so far about Inv.
The way he talks. The way he looks. The way his skin moves and feels. How his skin can change to a different color corresponding to an emotion. How his fur feels. How warm he is. How awesome he is. How ho-
'Ok this is just a jumbled up mess now…' I sulk looking at the messy organization of the file.
Apparently letting your thoughts run wild with a keyboard inside your mind can make things pretty messy…
Spending a bit more time I slowly organize things to be readable and coherent. And not just a repeating sentence of… ok yeah, I can't say that…
'Ok enough of this… this is cool but I don't want to spend all my time on this'
Backing out of the file, I'm back to the main notes screen.
First note.txt
Testing.txt
Inv Observation.txt
Hmmm… this will get pretty messy when I add more files… isn't there a better way to organize this? Wasn't there something like… a folder on the computer.
Right as I think this, something new appears.
Folder 1
First note.txt
Testing.txt
Inv Observation.txt
'Oh! That's cool!' Seeing the folder pop up I attempt to drag a file to it and it works!
Dragging all the text files to the folder I rename the folder.
First folder
'Cool'
Before I get lost in messing around with this even more I back out.
-------------------------------
A/N: went for a much simpler way of going about stats. trying to keep up with stats using numbers seems very annoying. also Joey has his own notes tab! how cool!
