# Caligula XE & Katja
|
|
|
|
In Caligula Yyanu is in love with; has a crush on Katja (working name; it could
|
|
|
|
also be Sigryn or something else along those lines. We'll play it out later.
|
|
|
|
The catch is that Yy knows that its just for fun and she must not get too
|
|
|
|
serious with Kj and so she fastidiously avoids getting too close or getting
|
|
|
|
feelings. Kj seems to always be pushing however. Yy knows this way lies destruction
|
|
|
|
but can't help herself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's not meant to be obvious why she knows so well that it is doomed but there is
|
|
|
|
no question that she's right. Eventually she will fall hard for Kj and tragically
|
|
|
|
fatalistically confess her feelings, knowing even as she does so that this will
|
|
|
|
ruin her.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's even worse than one would think. Because once Kj knows she's secured Yy's love
|
|
|
|
she begins to pursue her in RL! (real life)

## Information
|
|
|
|
Caligula XE is based on Conan Exiles. As a game it's a world similar to the one depicted in
|
|
|
|
some play documents I created. Basically Conan Exiles & Roman Gladiators & Locke Tomb pastiche.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many incidents in the story can be based on game-play recalled from Conan Exiles. In that game
|
|
|
|
I really did play a character who fell in love with another character names Katja, (Also Sigryn) in
|
|
|
|
another server. Yyanu & Katja were re-united across a couple of servers before losing touch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Caligula sections should read very much like a light novel\
|
|
|
|
In which RPG and computer game conventions are transparently acknowledged in the game universes. But
|
|
|
|
without overt acknowledgement of the actual computer game frame.

# RL (ish) virtually
|
|
|
|
At this turning point in the story, it is revealed that Yy and Kj (and other characters)
|
|
|
|
are actually characters in an online game called Caligula XE. Each one is controlled by
|
|
|
|
a player in real life. Yyanu is controlled by a player who goes by the name @anibel and Katja
|
|
|
|
by a player with the handle @katja. Of cours @a and @k are just account names on a game
|
|
|
|
and social media platform.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@k seeks to continue the romance outside of Caligula XE in the online world. She constantly
|
|
|
|
tries to get @a to reveal more of her true self. This is torment for @a whose feelings continue
|
|
|
|
to grow earnestly. Her problem is that she is a contrived online persona, she completely hides
|
|
|
|
her true nature in the online communities where she and @k frequent. @a's petty secret is that
|
|
|
|
in rl she is a man named John. John created @a out of wishful thinking but does not see themselves
|
|
|
|
as trans because of their self-contempt.
