Halloween is approaching, which means all the freaks come out. Not just at night either. Aside from Griefers and Drama Queens that haunt the grid, so does the energy sucking Boogieman. We have all encountered this entity at one point or another. It can only be described as a black cloud that hovers over those who are at their most vulnerable. It preys on those who are sensitive and doesn’t stop until they break you down and leave you feeling hopeless.
Well, Mack, from the SL Enquirer, came to the rescue to slay this miserable beast.
Mack: Well, well, well, look who it is snooping around the SL Enquirer, if it isn’t the Boogieman!
Boogieman: Oh, FFS! You scared the bejesus out of me. You shouldn’t be walking up on somebody like that! I was looking for Ms. Jarrico. Have you seen her? I heard she needed me.
Mack: I know exactly what you need her for, and she’s somewhere you’ll never find her!
Boogieman: What’s that supposed to mean! She offered me a job, and I was simply here for an interview.
Mack: Yeah, your arse in the moonlight you are, you’re here to make her rain on her parade. She doesn’t need your grief at the moment, or ever.
Boogieman: Well damn, tell me how you REALLY feel. Ya know… I see a lot of you jolly types around the grid, and it irks me. What the heck are you always so happy about? It’s not like SL is handing out free pies.
Mack: No but if it was you’d be shoving them in peoples faces, i know your type! Happiness is a state of mind whereas you’re just a state. Like Idaho without the potatoes.
Boogieman: Well, that statement is just as cheesy as Wisconsin. Why are you even here? At least I have a purpose.
Mack: I’m kinda second in command here so watch it buddy or you’ll be off of this sim quicker than you can say Johnny Carson.
Lanai: What did I just walk in on, and why are you all using Johnny Carson’s name in vain?
Boogieman: Ms. Jarrico, just the one I was looking for. Thank you for inviting me for an interview. This… *looks Mack up and down* … clown over here is harassing me.
Mack: That’s Mr Clown to you *blasts him with an air horn*.. Misery loves company but they haven’t met you yet. You’re as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit. Lanai, you invited this over for an interview?
Lanai: *laughs* You told Mack you were here for an interview? Why on Linden’s pixel creation would I want the Boogieman,the spouse of Debbie Downer, to be a part of The SL Enquirer? We produce entertaining news here. So why are you really here?
Boogieman: * Grills Mack* I thought you all were an equal opportunity employer. Wait til I tell everyone that you discriminate against evil spirits.
Mack: Why would we want evil spirits here? We’re not Fox News.
Boogieman: Mack. you are very irritating, like a Karen in Walmart. Why don’t you just scram? I’m not here for you. I’m here for Ms. Jarrico.
Lanai: Hey now. Don’t you come around here talking to people that way. Maybe what you need to do is look at yourself in the mirror and re-evaluate your existence and outlook on life. Every day shouldn’t be a pity party.
Mack: Well said, I'll get the mirror.
Boogieman: Nooooo! I don’t want to go back in there! Pleeease!!
Mack: Smile! You’re on Candid Camera! *Holds up mirror and says his name three times*
Lanai: BYE FELICIA! Mack isn’t it tiring dealing with these types of things? Sometimes we encounter negative energy, it’s how we deal with them that counts and most importantly, those who stand by our side and protect us from these types of monsters. So thank you, Mack.
Readers, The next time you are feeling like you are being followed by a dark cloud that wants nothing more than to bring you down, remember to use your energy to propel yourself into becoming the best version of yourself. Don’t get trapped in the pursuit of hopelessness, self-doubt or destructive behavior. Look in the mirror and value what you see. Value your friends, play some SL, or find something to do that brings you joy.
Mack: Thank you Dr Phil, I’ll remember that.
