(( I had to get this out of my system, but this would take place, ICly, long after Shehk gets home from the -massive- solo ))
Rumor of the most horrible video in the whole of Halloween had passed by Shehk’s ears. It hadn’t been the most…touched on rumor, most people speaking about it horrified whispers of how they would never watch it and how people recorded reactions to watching it. Shehk had been curious about it. She was supposed to be brave. She’d worked hard to be brave. Shehk believed fully she could sit through whatever video that was spiraling the interwebs without putting herself into a state of shock.
She could do it.
Going to the Gruegle, Shehk had typed in the fated words that would ruin her for weeks to come:
N
Y
A
N
C
A
T
It seemed like an ominous name, this ‘Nyan Cat’. That’s when all of the links to message boards cropped up. Things like ‘DON’T WATCH THIS’ and ‘THIS MADE ME PUKE’ littered their messages as Shehk gave them a quick browse. It all seemed to ring the same. Only the brave would actually watch the video she was seeking out. But she couldn’t help it. She had to see it.
Back to her search page, a BooTube video was linked at the top, a mere glimpse of the horrible horrible video displayed next to it. Just that glimpse of a frame made a slight shiver run through the pricolici’s spine. She braced herself carefully, her mouse slowly edging over to click on that link. That horrible…horrible..taunting link. She took a long moment to steel herself, taking a deep breath.
She could click it now.
But she could also walk away and nobody would know the difference. She hadn’t boasted to anybody she was going to watch the horrible ‘Nyan Cat’ video. She wasn’t going to be recording a reaction to it. Nobody had any expectation of her to see this. But she was curious. And curiosity was horrible.
Shehk clicked the link.
Following that, she immediately clicked ‘pause’ on the video before anything had loaded. She scrolled down through the comments briefly. They all seemed to ring the same.
“THIS IS SO NASTY”
“HOW COULD ANYBODY MAKE SUCH A HORRIBLE THING”
“I PUKED”
“DON’T WATCH IT”
“TURN BACK NOW WHILE YOU STILL CAN.”
“If you leave this comment on 10 videos, the person you crush on will call you up and tell you they love you! If you don’t do this in the next 5 minutes you’ll have bad relationships for the rest of your life!”
…Shehk paused at the last one and took a brief moment to consider if she believed it or not. Then again, she could blame that comment if her attempts to rekindle the best thing she’d ever had went bust. But that wasn’t the point! The comments were just reinforcing the same thought that the message boards had.
She was about to watch something disastrous.
A few deep breaths, and Shehk scrolled back up staring at the half buffered video. Her mouse crept over to the ‘play’ button and before she could stop herself she hit play.
….
For a moment, there was no video. Just a darkness that took up the video box. Then came the beginning of some music. Shehk’s ears immediately drooped. It sounded..happy. It sent her gag reflex going immediately, but she clenched her jaw together. Then the darkness was replaced by…
NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NYA NY-OH SWEET ******** JACKING HELL!!!
Shehk scrambled for the ‘PAUSE’ button, her tail puffed up, trying to keep herself from immediately vomiting. Why had anybody ever made this? Why?? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY? It was the most horrible thing she’d seen in her life!! And she’d seen quite a bit! She’d go back to Christmas before she sat through this video! WHYYYYYYYYYYY??? She immediately closed out her browser in her mad scramble to get away from the video, throwing her computer away from her and retreating from her desk, eyes staring wide at the offender on her desk.
The same ‘WHYYY’ kept playing through her head, the image of the rainbows and confections and rainbows and Nyan-ing and cats and…
And….
AUUUUUUUGHHHHHHH.
She regretted having ever become curious. Having ever become brave. They had been a horrible mix and now this image would never be leaving the inside of her head. There was a running feline thing in her head and it was teasing her. The computer sat there innocently for the time it took for Shehk to stare at her computer.
After several minutes Shehk was up and out the door. She couldn’t make it to the bathroom to puke nearly fast enough.
THIS IS HALLOWEEN
