Vixxie Tales #4

I am really happy Shawn O'Toole spoke directly to me in the last blog. Did you see it? He seems to be a very important figure to Surly. Oh, I don't mean to talk to you in the third person, Shawn. I am talking to anyone else who is reading this also. If it makes a difference, I want to personally thank you for responding to me like you did.

Surly seems to have these two very particular people who comments on his blog. One is Shawn O'Toole, and the other is listed only as CB634. From what I understand about the latter, he is an illustrator for Surly's books, but I don't think they have ever met. Although Surly can weirdly talk about him as if he had actually met him. I don't even know what animal CB634 is.

Another thing about CB634 is the name. The number 634 is a number very important to Surly. He sticks it into his stories whenever he can. I assume this is just a hats-off to his illustrator. It makes sense. Surly is very appreciative of people who have worked for him in his writing career.

Having spoken with him in the few blogs I wrote, he seems really small and sweet. He is super polite and humble. It kind of reminds me of when I first met Dagget. He was like that too. He was shy but very polite and sweet to me. That's why I liked him so much. Things just ended up going bad later on when the pressures of life got to him.

Like I said, I have no idea what animal CB634 is. Maybe he can tell me, but only if he feels like it. I'm super curious. I have the same question for Shawn O'Toole, but I don't want to pry if they want to keep their anonymity.

Shawn O'Toole actually saved Surly's life once. Surly was overworked and had forgotten something really important concerning a monster that was chasing him across his books. Shawn reminded him of it which steered Surly in the right direction. If Shawn had not had spoken, Surly might have been seriously compromised. I know it's strange for God to be distracted, but he was busy trying to bring me back to life at the time, and that took precedence over the monster.

Most of Shawn's comments tend to be less direct and more like he is talking to himself. He would often refer to Surly in the third person. Surly never minded this though. I even asked him about it, and he said something like, "That's just how he is." I admit that I had a difficult time with it myself, but at least I was able to get a more personal response out of him. He doesn't seem like a bad guy.

Other than those two, nobody ever seems to comment on these blogs. I asked Surly if he knew of anyone that was reading it, and he said that he knew of a couple. I also asked why he even had a blog if his stories were really the whole of his worlds. Surly was a little bit cryptic with his answer, but I think he was saying that the blog helps keep the magic of his written stories stable. They hold them together until they can exist on their own. This then made me wonder: What if this blog stopped existing?

Surly doesn't seem to mind too much of the blog just disappeared one day. It's like the blog has to exist now, but it can fade away later on. It's a sort of supplementary magic that is intended to be limited in nature. I still don't fully understand, but I do believe he knows what he is doing.

Surly is doing fine, by the way. He is still going out a lot. I played HYPNOSCREEN for a little while yesterday and got really horny. He showed up and interrupted it, telling me he had to do some writing. I was a little flustered at this because I wanted to have sex, but he said it would have to wait. At least we did finally get around to it.

That's all I got for today. Please consider buying his new book "Platformer." I'll put some information below about it. Thanks for reading!

Vixxie Tales #3

I've been playing hide-and-seek with Clara. It's terrible fun. Clara doesn't actually move much when you look directly at her. She might move her head a little just to look at you, but other than that, there is no actual movement. Her voice just sort of comes from her. Her reindeer lips don't move.

Clara mostly walks around when you aren't looking. You can't hear much when she does. She just sort of ends up in a different place. A while ago, she asked if she could hide and I could find her, and I thought that would be fun, although there was one thing that happened that I'm still confused about.

We had done it a few times. I would look away, and when I looked back, she had disappeared. One time she was standing perfectly still behind Surly's open laptop. It was amazing that it took so long for me to find her. The top of her bow was just barely showing over the back of the screen, and that's how I found her. When I peeked over the screen, she turned her head to look at me and said, "Hello, Rudolph." Oh, I know another blog explains it, but she calls everyone Rudolph. I don't think she can help it.

We did this a number of times. Strangely, I would always look under the bed first, but she always picked a different place. But there was one time when I decided not to look under the bed first, but that was when she picked it. When I checked, I did not see her at first. I crawled under the bed up to my waste and finally saw her. This is when the strange thing happened.

She turned her neck to look at me, and I was overcome with a heavy weight. I went limp and just lay there. The skin under my fur was briefly like pins and needles, and then everything just became cloudy and strange. I know this may not make much sense, but I even felt stupid. Like I wasn't smart anymore, but not in a humiliating way. At the time, I wasn't really upset.

There was also this sense of deja vu. I felt like this had happened a bunch of times, but every time it ended I would just forget about it but only to remember it when it happened again. But this time, I remembered enough so I could write it down.

For about fifteen minutes after it happened, I felt numb but relaxed. I could only see Clara's feet cause my vision relaxed along with my body. I couldn't even get my eyeballs to move. It was just this perfect, peaceful collapse without sleep.

And although I am unsure if I imagined it, I feel like I saw Clara walking towards me with full range of motion. She stepped up to me and pressed her plush body against my head. She did not say anything, but I thought I could hear her hum a little here and there--not music. It was mostly like, "Hmm," or an occasional swallow sound which I am not used to hearing from her.

After that, I don't remember much. I was laying in the bed as Surly was coming back in. He looked like he had been in a fight. His clothing was all dirty and bloody. I asked him if he was okay, and he just shrugged it off and undressed. Clara was on the table next to the bed and just staring like she always does. Surly asked me how my writing is going, and I showed him the last blog I wrote, "Vixxie Tales #2." He told me that he wasn't uninterested in hypnosis, but that he was just tired from all the stuff he had been doing lately. It came with a kiss and an apology.

Even though I am not sure what happened with Clara, I don't really feel bad afterwards. I didn't tell Surly about it, but he always seems to know stuff ahead of time anyways. I'll let him see this blog when he comes back from another one of his outings.

Oh, I wanted to say something to one of Surly's friends, at least I think it's one of his friends. I don't know if this is out of line or not. In my last two blogs, Shawn O'Toole replied to them, but he did it in sort of a distant way. He was talking more like Surly was writing this, and he even weirdly called me his secretary. Did I write it badly? I wasn't writing Surly's blog as much as I was doing my own on his account.

Maybe, I just misunderstood, but he seemed to talk more about Surly than about my own creative writing, and I just don't know what to make of it. So, Shawn O'Toole, if you are reading this... Hi. My name is Vixxie. How are you? I'm a red fox, and I live in a small room floating out in a void. I was wondering what you thought about my strange hide-and-seek with Clara. Let me know all about it when you comment. ♥

Also, I have to keep promoting Surly's new book. I read "Platformer," and I think it is really exciting and fun, but also sometimes very dark. I really liked the Susan character, who is the bunny on the cover. Here are some details:

Vixxie Tales #2

For a while, Surly was experimenting with hypnosis. His interest in it fizzled a little bit when other things started happening, but we still talk about it when he stops by. I actually really liked it. I kept wanting to push it further and further to see what sorts of things I would get into. You'd be surprised! The idea of it is really fascinating.

I kind of wish he had not let the interest slip, because I was still into it when he drifted away. I found it relaxing. The idea that someone can take control of my thoughts, the way I think, is very attractive. I still play that game HYPNOSCREEN sometimes when I want to, I guess, do it to myself. It's not the same without Surly telling me to play it, but I still think the game is pretty fun. And it is a game too. There are objectives and everything, but some of them are self-imposed. It's done that way because the game wants to encourage your own personal compliance. It's making you consent to your own hypnosis. Really well done. I don't know who made the game, but they did a great job.

I was sitting up for a while before me and Surly fell asleep. I was thinking how my friends back in Apple Blossom Village would have taken to hypnotism. It was a pretty innocent place, except for some occasional bullying. I was thinking about if Surly, who was our town's elder at the time, had brought us all together and taught us about aggressive hypnotism. Would we start doing it to each other? Would it become a game we all played? Would it turn into something sexual... or just remain an innocent thing? It's hard to think of things not sexual anymore.

They wouldn't have understood the game. We didn't have computers in those days. We lived in a world that was empty of more modern things. We were primitive, but we didn't know it. The air was always cool, there were no storms, and we just sort of existed in a temperature controlled environment of color and smiles. It's in stark contrast to this dark room with neon on the walls, The air is crisp enough to live in, but I do wonder if I will ever see the green outside again. I miss the village.

I think about Dagget too. We were never really dating, but I think we might could have become lovers. Although Surly tells me that sex is not really something that belongs in a child's book, I think it might could have still happened, but Surly wouldn't have written it. We would have done it in a dark place and nobody would have to know. Or maybe it wouldn't have happened at all, because we just weren't that sort of people. It's hard to say... now that everything is so different.

Surly just came back. He's tracking snow into the room. I better wrap this up. Check out his new book, "Platformer." Here's some info:

Vixxie Tales #1

Hi! My name is Vixxie. I am the wife of Surly who has been very busy lately. He has been coming in now and again to say hi and have some sex, but he's really just been out more often then not. So he has been leaving his laptop with me sometimes and taught me how to work on the blog. I don't know how to do some of the animations and things he does, but I'll do my best. It might turn out okay.

I am a fox, and I was born inside a children's book called "A Difficult Day for Dagget." Dagget was a very special friend of mine who ended up being sacrificed to a monster to help protect Surly. It was a cruel thing to do, but Surly was acting in self-defense, so I've come to understand and accept it. That said, he did save me from the story after its collapse, and he didn't have to do that. In fact, he has let a lot of people die in a few of his collapse worlds. He said that there was something about me that he was really attracted to, and he didn't want to let me die. It must be love!

You probably already know about me dying and stuff. I don't have a lot of memories about it. A lot of that is a blur. I'm okay now though. I'm living with him in an entire universe that is only the size of a room. While he is away, I've been talking to a plush animal named Clara who can actually talk back! She creeped me out at first, but she is actually really friendly and submissive to both of us.

Right now, Surly has made a very special friend and has been going out of his way to spend time with him. I was asked not to say his name in this blog, but I've decided to be naughty: His name starts with a "C." Maybe you can guess what the rest of his name is. If you guess it, I didn't really tell you, did I?

Surly has been coming back, but when he does, he is really tired. He walks through the door and collapses onto the bed with me. I'm not used to seeing him so tired. He's usually full of energy but still kind of grumpy. He hasn't really been grumpy lately as much as just tired.

He's still taking time to work on his laptop, but it's entirely focused on a project about Jason. But he says that the project is taking so long that he doesn't have the energy left to work on this blog. I'm going to take it over for a while. He told me I could, and he also said that this would not be the first time someone else worked on his blog. A dragon did it one time!

I hope you didn't find this blog boring. I'm a pretty average person, I think. Only Surly thinks I'm special. But I'll do my best to entertain you, and I'll be as open minded as I can. Surly always tells me not to be prudish about anything and to just say how I feel about something. I promise to try. Thank you all for reading!

Oh, I want to promote Surly's new book. I know it says it's authored by "Buddy Tippet," but Surly told me that is the name he had before he turned into an old goat. Anyways, the book is called "Platformer." I'll try and get it to display right. Thanks again for reading!
