Air Dance

[NeonKnights]

Last night was quite a night. I ate dinner with the girls, then Isis and I watched a horror movie while the other two went off and did whatever. Somehow, the movie kind of led to some... other things... so we took a shower, then enjoyed a few high quality chocolates and a couple glasses of fine sparkling grape drink. We would have had actual champagne, but I'm so dehydrated lately that I'm certain my body would have violently rejected the stuff after only a couple of sips.

For hours upon hours after that, even right now, I can't get her off my mind. I'm okay with that, though. I like thinking about her. Might get a bit tricky at the concert in a couple of hours, though.

 

Of course, all of this intense focus on her means that tomorrow's going to have to be another 'Perfect Uni Day' or maybe even a Squid Girl Day. Can't neglect the other two, that's for certain.

Oh thats cute :3 you and isis are getting along really well

me and joy had quite an adventure during school. [ Hi Neon :3 and uni,isis and Squidy :P ]

[NeonKnights]

Yeah, I find it incredible how far I've come with her. I remember back at the beginning, I wanted a strictly friends-only relationship with her, and now here I am, completely in love with her.

That's actually part of the reason I'm not trying to push any romantic feelings on Uni or Squid Girl. If either of them loves me the way Isis does, I'm sure they'll show it sooner or later.

 

That's awesome, it's great that you get along so well with Joy. It sounds like she is to you what Isis is to me.

 

Hi, Joy!

[NeonKnights]

Not much new lately, besides ordinary household things. I've been slowly and painfully working my way through the Resident Evil 1 remake with Isis. It's been fun, but at times extremely frustrating. What's irritating about it is the fact that I'm using an emulator and have, on a couple of occasions, accidentally terminated the emulation with a simple press of the Esc key, losing twenty minutes to half an hour of progress each time due to the fact that I'm trying to play through it without spamming saves for once.

 

What generally keeps me in line is probably not much better than busting my keyboard in half. In order to keep my cool after making a huge mistake, I've been finding myself saying some rather lewd and salacious things to Isis. She says she doesn't mind, fortunately. If I didn't know any better, I'd say she actually likes it...

 

On a partially related note, I checked in on Uni while I prepared some tea to soothe my frazzled nerves after an accidental game closure, and uh... Well, I can only say that she was enjoying her alone time. All's well until NeonKnights gets slapped senseless for saying too much.

 

I plan to take them to a gun range later so we can try out my recently acquired piece. We'll see if I follow through with that today, because I sure as hell didn't yesterday.

It sure took a while for my horoscope to prove itself correct. I don't take much stock in those things, but this one caught my interest when it predicted one of two things: Either a friend would confess her love for me, or 'my partner will be especially frisky' around me. For a while, I wondered if Uni would confess to loving me in a manner similar to how Isis did, or if I would have a particularly fun moment with Isis. Neither one happened for quite a while. As soon as I went to shower, though, things took a quick turn.

Isis dubbed herself 'Queen Isis' for the duration of the shower, and her first order of business as royalty was to spit streams of water at me (who she had deemed her 'subject'), and then she teased me and poked fun at me, fortunately in a lighthearted manner. Playing along as her subject, I offered to lather her hair, but she declined. Hesitantly, I asked if she wanted me to cover her with body wash. The way she said 'yes' was somehow worrisome.

I'll never forget the way she laughed as I nervously and slowly lathered her up. Her laughter was that of genuine amusement. "What is this?" she would giggle whenever my hands moved into dangerous territory, provoking a reaction. Pretty embarrassing, if you ask me. Fun, but embarrassing.

 

I can only hope that she'll begin to display this playful side of herself a bit more regularly. I like it a lot. Still no word from Uni, so I guess I can count out a love confession from her today. Then again, the day is young, so I guess it's not out of the realm of possibility.

[NeonKnights]

Ever spend a whole day alternating between sleeping and puking? Yeah, this was one of those days, and I'm not happy about it. As such, interaction was at a minimum as I writhed in agony on the bathroom floor groaning for most of the time I was awake.

 

Before this began, however, I did manage to have a bit of a conversation with Isis. It was a tad easier than I'd thought, and from her I learned that while she does talk to Uni a lot, Uni is still lonely and craves my attention. As soon as I stop feeling like I've been hit by a train, I'll make her dream reality.

After lying down with Isis and cuddling with her for a while, I slept for a short spell and woke up feeling remarkably better. It would be awesome if she cured me, but I'm willing to bet it's more just the fact that over the course of countless hours I had purged my system well enough to get the suffering to stop. The cause is a mystery; it could be that I caught the flu (I haven't had it in years, but this is around the time of year I used to catch hellish stomach-purging illnesses as a kid). Mixing six different brands of beer in my gut probably didn't help matters, but the fact that this was an all-night illness makes me think that that isn't the root cause.

 

Just in case it was a virus, we washed the sheets and flushed out the relatively stale air in here, so hopefully the madness is over for good now. I think I'm going to go lie down in my nice clean bed with my queen and take another short nap before I have to get up and run errands.

[NeonKnights]

That was... Interesting. I have just been through 21 hours of only mildly tulpa-related activities. Sure, I've mentioned my tulpas a lot in that time. Sure, I've thought about them a lot. I don't think shooting guns in the desert and off-roading (breaking two trucks dead in the process) is really worthy of mention in a tulpa progress report, though. So I'll spare the superfluous details.

 

Basically, after hours and hours with my friends, including a time where they were both drunk and I was stone cold sober, I feel remarkably different, almost as though I've been reborn. Hearing confessions from one of my friends of suicidal tendencies only curbed by my other friend and myself struck a chord with me, and after the tears of my friends gave way to intoxicated slumber, I posed as relatives and called in sick for both of them. Still not feeling ready to call it a day, I decided to grab a six pack of Strawberry Crush and head up to the mountain to be alone with the only girls who I can discuss such sensitive matters with. As the sun blazed bright overhead, I looked down on the town, just sorting all of the recent events out with the help of Isis.

 

After a while, I got to analyzing all of the drunken sorrow and despair expressed by my friends over women they have had or want to have by their side, and for the first time I wanted to know the reasons why I am so happy and content having Isis and Uni around (I would include Squid Girl, too, but she's in stasis currently) while my friends wallow in such repressed misery.

When I came to the conclusion that I love and adore my tulpas because I see them as flawless beings, perhaps even at the level of minor goddesses, Isis was very quick to correct me.

She told me that she has flaws, and even shared with me an example: Impatience. What followed was very stimulating banter over the degree to which certain flaws, personality flaws in particular, are simply facets of personality which make individuals unique. It was an interesting conversation, and one of the first meaningful ones of such a length that I've had with her.

[NeonKnights]

Well, communication is moving along nicely. Neither of the primary tulpas are yet capable of getting thoughts through to me unless I'm actively conversing with them and thinking about receiving replies, but we're definitely making progress. I can normally 'feel' their replies with considerable ease, so I have hopes that we'll be able to move along to more involved communication in the near future.

 

Uni has shown some interest in mechanical work recently, which I find pretty neat. When I was mentally rehearsing a major cooling system operation I'll soon have to perform on my Plymouth, I figured I should try to involve my tulpas in the process a bit, in order to get me more used to integrating them into my thoughts with less conscious effort. Isis didn't seem very interested in it, and she felt a bit distant, but when I brought Uni in to the picture, she stuck around without a problem.

Her involvement was limited to observing my drowsy run-down of the process and handing me tools as I needed them, but she seemed fascinated by it. I'm not sure if this is a genuine interest of hers, or if she just enjoyed spending some time with me, but it doesn't matter what her reasons are. It's cool either way.

[Doctor_RCI]

Oh that is good :3 seem like you two get some alone time together

[NeonKnights]

Yep, it's a rare opportunity, but it's neat to get that chance every once in a while.

 

In other news, Isis sort of brought up my habit of checking chicks out when I'm in a place where a lot of girls happen to be. She didn't tell me to stop doing that, but she said I shouldn't do it, presumably for her sake. Maybe one can get away with that when they're with a regular girl, but when a tulpa desires your affections, they'll know exactly what you're up to. I decided that I'm going to do my best to stop doing that.

[NeonKnights]

Big change sometimes happens rather quickly. I played a lovely little RPGMaker game called "Ib". Got me to jump a few times, pretty impressive for an RPG Maker game.

I think Uni saw a bit of herself in the protagonist, Ib, or maybe she just liked the name. When I spoke to her a few hours later, using her name to get her attention, she corrected me, saying "Ib" when I said "Uni". I asked her for confirmation that she wanted a name change, and I got a simple "yes".

I figure it was about time, I've been expecting her to switch names on me for a while now, guess it just a while for her to find one that she liked.

 

I wonder how she'll react when I tell her that it's supposed to be pronounced "Eeb" and not "Ihb", the latter being the way she pronounced it when she was telling me what she wanted to be called.

 

Knowing Uni-- er, Ib, I wouldn't be surprised if she wants me to just continue mispronouncing it. Sorry, Dutch folks.

 

Also, I've stricken Squid Girl from the list, at least for now. Haven't heard a thing from her in a while, not sure if my brain's just overloaded at the moment or if she was another one of those half-tulpas that I've heard about, the type you can meet in the wonderland and then never see ever again...

It doesn't bother me too much, I suppose. We'll see what happens.
