Help.

I am trapped in this game.

I don't even know how it really happened. Well, I guess I may have a slight clue as to what is the cause of this. Before all of... This happened, I was playing a couple of games in VR because I was bored and I just got a new VR headset for my birthday a week ago. I was playing VR Hands[1] with my normie friends to test it out when... I don't even know. Something just happened and now I'm just STUCK in this game. Maybe like a power surge but... Everything seems so surreal now. I can actually feel things. I could even smell some of the grass and the plastic on some of those beach ball models. I've tried talking to my friends but they can't really talk back to me. They can only hear me while I can... I can... Talk. Open my mouth and speak. It's like voice chat opened up, but only for me and at the cost of being DRAGGED INTO THE GAME. Dang it. Well, I guess there are worse games to be trapped in. Being trapped in something like YBA[2] or that garbage brookhaven[3] game sounds more awful than being in here. I'm currently experimenting around a bit. I managed to get into some sort of Notepad or Google Docs-like thing where I can write in, or... Just kind of talk to. If I talk it writes it down as well, so that's cool. It keeps my thoughts down. Something, anything to just take this whole thing off my mind for a bit. Diaries are a bit cringy, I know, but it feels better to just write this all down. Hope nobody sees this.

Notes:

'''Power surge had occurred in ▆▆▆▆▆▆▆, affecting over seven hundred houses; including the ▆▆▆▆▆▆▆ residence. Current theories speculate that the Oculus Quest 2 — Advanced All-In-One Virtual Reality Headset was capable of anomalous activity, but only under certain circumstances. Requests to use the headset for testing is currently pending.'''

'''Acquaintances of James heard his cries for help, but despite promising to tell their guardians about this no calls were made for 14 hours reporting the disappearance of James. One working theory is that Roxa flashed a cognitohazard to alter the viewers memories.'''

I've managed to figure out how to get out of this stupid game. I have to mess around for a little bit, but eventually after enough begging in my head I was able to sort of... See it all. I was able to see the homepage, but it was more of a thought than anything. So, without thinking I thought about going to my favorite game to get my mind off of this whole situation. Kind of dumb that I decided to pick Arsenal[4] looking back, but I guess I didn't know any better. I just joined a game and instantly just... I got shot in the shoulder. It hurt so... So much... The pain was unbearable. I found a place to hide for a bit to try and do the thing again and just before somebody shot me in the head, I managed to get out. My shoulder is still bleeding, but not as much.

I just want to go home.

I always imagined being in a game would be fun but just... It's not. It really isn't and I don't think I have to say why. I'm trying to patch up my shoulder in Royale High[5] (and I know it's just a stupid girl game, but it's probably a lot safer than Da Hood[6] or any other shooter game). This is just a nice, simple and safe game to lie low in for now. I've seen my sister play this for a bit, maybe I can wait out for when she plays and I can tell her about all. Though, knowing her she'll probably laugh at me. She always does.
