# Poor Ed is Dead (Working title)
|
|
|
|
* Three worlds or layers: Caligula XE; Sorcerer; Social Context
|
|
* The third layer might be optional.
|
|
|
|
# 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.
|
|
|
|
The stkes are so much higher because Yyanu wants to fall in love with Kj's player as a
|
|
girl. But as we see above, John is unwilling to come out.
|
|
Yyanu's username is Jezibel or Anabel or something.
|
|
|
|
@k keeps teasing, flirting with and tormenting @a and often accuses her of
|
|
catfishing and of course that is exactly what John feels is true and @k is
|
|
constantly demanding proofs and reality checks as their relationship hungry for
|
|
more confirmation hungry for more ... threatening to hack her or dox ro something
|
|
and yy/@an/john know that giving in and trying to pursue this relationship is
|
|
unhealthy but cannot tear themselves away.
|
|
|
|
{Digression: what if maybe there is another character, not @k, maybe Ed a friend
|
|
of @k who acts as both the protector/cockblocker/inquisitor}
|
|
|
|
{Or as soon as @a and @k begin to socialize and interact in online communities
|
|
ed showed up and insinuates themselves into the scene. Quickly their pro-active
|
|
actions and @k's complacence makes it clear that @a will have to prove themselves
|
|
and 'go through' Ed to get to @k. @a MUST win Ed's trust to have any future with
|
|
@k. }
|
|
|
|
{The secret to be revealed is that Ed always was Katja in game, and in all the
|
|
ways that matter John/Anibl is in love with "Ed as Katja"}
|
|
|
|
At a major turning point John tries to go all in on the deception/catfish front
|
|
by working with a friend/cousin/online aly to create a fake femme profile.
