This is the story of how I found one of the strangest, rarest, and most enchanting engram ever on destiny. XD ,
Destiny, an online FPS that boasts more than 22 million players “and counting”, was my unhealthy addiction for at least three months. Why you ask? Well, I’ll tell you that it wasn’t different from any other addiction. I don’t think I’ve done any other hobby for 366 hours. The most unhealthy moment was the night I stayed up till 6 AM shooting the heads off ugly alien zombies just so I could max out my level 20 cool-awesome gun that is a total POS to me now at level 31. Or how about those 11 hour spent yelling at my controller and TV about “Why the -blam!- is the witch moving so much?!?” while trying to -blam!- Crota’s End.
But no matter how much alien hunting, engram farming, or spam vanguards I did, nothing would have prepared me for the wildest and most unexpected experience ever.
If someone would have told me before that I would meet my boyfriend on a video game, I would probably laugh in there face and tell them to -blam!- off. But as it turns out, fate has a little way of slapping you in the face because that is exactly what happened.
So before the story continues any further, let me first introduce you to this jerk named isnipewierdXD. The first game I ever played with him, he called someone a “bubble gum princess” and killed me with his sparrow (bike). Not to mention, this jerk of a clan mate decided to name our clan “For the infection”, and somehow I coincidentally came down with laryngitis a week after joining.
“Snipe”, as we called him, was THE biggest troll I have ever played with on destiny to this day. Only he would come up with names such as “Ugly Ryan” , “ Virgin Slut”, “ Magnificent Horse”, and other absurd names only he could think of.
Aside from the crazy names and trolly behaviors, Snipe was one of the best teammates you could have. He was a good leader, at times, when he wasn’t calling people mean names or telling them that he wanted to “slide his penis down their faces like a snail”; he was a guy who would help you out on raids, weeklys, and bounties or whatever that needed to be done.
Our team was close Snipe, Gucci, Xeon, Erza, Guitar, and I , the original A team , always gathered together to try and save our virtual universe , which never seemed to stay saved for long because if I recalled, I might have killed Atheon and Crota about 5-8 times each.
Eventually, I got to know more about this jerkoff named Snipe. I found out he lived in my old neighborhood, only a few blocks from my old house actually. We ended up talking everyday, especially at night time, where we would have conversations while both of our characters repeatedly jumped off the railing of the tower. Romantic isn’t it?
One day, while I was working, Snipe texts me and says he’s in the area. So I told him why not visit me. I thought I knew him enough to be almost certain he was not an axe murderer - though the thought lingered in my mind.
“You’re ugly” was the first words he said to me IRL, as expected from the biggest, fattest troll that has ever grazed the face of destiny. Now, I wasn’t the prettiest girl in the world, but I was damn certain I had never been called ugly in my life. A lot has happened between the two of us since then. Things that were not video-game related. But, meeting him in such an unconventional way has made me forget about the Cinderella stories and ponder more about saving the universe stories.
It’s been a while since then, and sometimes I feel as though things could have happened so differently. But to this day, I tell him not to sell back his copy of destiny which has since fallen from our busy lives - JK it’s the lack of content- because that’s how we met.
I've never been the girl to believe in fate, but after all this is said and done, I may be open to the idea of Destiny.
