35 My Saturday (2/2)
I returned to my room and turned on the monitor to my PC. I waited for a few seconds for my PC to turn on, and then I opened my web browser and went to a video streaming site to watch some shows to pass time. I began browsing what was offered, and sighed as nothing seemed interesting for me to watch. I hated waiting once a week for new episodes of good shows to show up. And as for the drama shows, well...they're mostly not targeted at audiences like me. Mostly, those shows target women, which is weird. Don't these show producers know that a bunch of men stay at home and loiter about as well?
With nothing to do, I took out my phone. I stared at the blank screen for about a minute before deciding that I would message Emilia and ask about her status.
How's everything? I sent to her.
Fine. She responded not too long after. The furniture came. All I have left is to arrange everything.
You need help?
No.
With that conversation ending, I closed out of the messaging app and stared at my phone screen once again. I thought about what I could do and my eyes wandered over to the Socialization app. I opened the app and checked my SP balance, which is at 4375. This is quite a large number I suppose, seeing as to how in my early days of using this app the SP rewards were extremely low. However, maybe that was because it was Ralus that was assigning me the missions and that he must be cheating me out of some precious SP.
I pressed my finger on the icon for the marketplace and browsed the items that I can redeem with my SP. It was the usual case for the items and abilities, with the majority of them having weird effects. However, my attention was caught on the Gender Swapper.
Gender Swapper
Change your gender using this item once it is in your inventory after buying. To change it back, just do the same thing. Also, unlimited uses.
Price: 3500 SP
That's quite expensive...But...the ability to change your gender. That means I will have a girl's body, right? If it is yourself, then it's not considered illegal, right?
The thought of changing my gender to the opposite one perked my interest and made me fantasize about the possible uses of the item. However, as I shook my head, I snapped out of that fantasy and focused on reality.
If the SP rewards are so high, that means the punishment for not completing a quest will also be high. Therefore, I need a secure cushion in my SP balance to assure that I won't be punished badly for it. Even though I really want to try this item out, it will have to be at a later date when I have more SP.
With nothing further to do, I spun myself around in my computer chair. However, not too long after, maybe after spinning for about 2 seconds, I was bored of the act and decided to do something else. I walked over to the sliding glass door that led to the balcony from my room and entered the balcony. Outside, the air was cool as fall slowly crept into our lives and made me shiver as my clothing were still for summer weather. Well, maybe it has got to do with the rain as well. I don't know. I'm not an expert at this.
I observed the skyline of Nocsinis on the other side of the Helliger river, and I then turned my vision towards the streets. There, people walked about carrying umbrellas, making the otherwise bland streets a colorful patch of different colors that were still mostly black, gray, or a dark shade of a color. Rarely would I see a brightly colored umbrella in the crowd. Maybe it is the mentality to try to not stand out as much in a crowd that spurred the people to wear dark colored clothing and use dark colored umbrellas in Palisia. Who knows?
I soon returned back into my room and closed the glass door behind me. I relaxed as the warmth of my room provided me with comfort. I then looked around, seeing that due to the cloudy sky outside, my room was quite dark. Therefore, I used my phone to remotely turn on the ceiling lights in my room. I actually quite enjoy having ceiling lights since when it is done correctly, like the way it is in my house, it looks modern and fashionable. No longer do I have to deal with those cheap looking lamps and stuff.
I sat back down on my computer chair and spun it so that I was facing my computer. I plugged in my headphones and placed them over my ear. Then, I clicked on one of the many shows available on the video streaming site that I had kept opened from earlier. Now, all I have to do is wait for when Loriana calls me to leave for lunch.
