Miles and I have never really been friends, more like mating cats without the mating part. We’re fine working together in sharespace or in a virtual reality game (our avatars and game characters are friends) but we don’t do well physically in the same room without others present. Maybe that’s why I was looking forward to the new enhanced Virtuella operating system on my SaikoVR console. It should have installed itself by now. My roommate since freshman year, JV, and I planned on checking out the updated Flying Squirrels game before dinner. Then maybe I could get some decompression time with Miles and the rest of our company crew on a quest in Ghoster later tonight. Honestly, after what I said about their abusive boyfriend the other day, Miles would probably be most happy if I jumped off a roof, got eaten by a dragon, or stepped into a different dimension and disappeared entirely.  I wasn’t entirely sure they would cast a spell to save me anymore, even if it meant the whole team lost.
