Story[]
Ever since UGC went public the entirety of Roblox was changed on a whim. Many things good and bad came from it. The good thing is that many people are allowed to make anything they want without the restrictions placed on UGC before. The bad thing with it is that so many things made are bad or linked to inappropriate things outside of Roblox.
That hasn't stopped a friend of mine making unique and strange avatars, though.
I have a friend, which I will not name for their safety, who is very creative when it comes to avatar customization. She doesn't follow most avatar trends: Whether at be Headless- or Korblox-related avatars, Gothic or pastel clothing or cute-looking characters, big or small. My friend does whatever she thinks looks best to her: whether that being a strange, deformed animal, existing characters not known well by most, and crazy creatures.
While making these avatars or using them in games, she tends to be obsessed with them from time to time, making stories about them. She tends to stay in character according to what their personality or story is. These obsessions stay around for a week or so.
She has been interested in a strange avatar she made recently. It's been a month and she still uses it.
She changed her name into 'It hurts' and has been only saying 'It hurts.'.
The avatar is a mixture of many character parts: the head of a 'Demonic creature', the torso and arms of the 'Brain body' bundle, and the legs of the 'Mini me' bundle. The avatar has spiked, black hair, black tentacle eyes, a fresh interior (Otherwise known as the human organ system), and a black, scorpion body. The avatar is freakishly tall and has pitch black skin.
Avatar of 'It hurts', head varies
I know how weird she can be when it comes to staying 'in character', with this avatar, it's making me uncomfortable. She follows me, everywhere I go, whether that be survival games, roleplay games, anything. Even in games that do not support R15, she still pursues me.
When this first started I was playing 'Natural Disaster Survival'. I was minding my own business killing time until she joined. It was my first time seeing that odd avatar of hers. She hasn't changed her name yet. When I asked about her avatar, she only replied with 'It hurts.' before walking off.
It was odd, but I knew that she was 'in character' and didn't think much of it. She was silent during our whole time in the game. The next time she joined me she had her name changed to 'It hurts'. I was playing a Backrooms roaming game. She scared me when I turned and saw her. She got me pretty good, I thought she was a monster part of the game.
I started getting concerned and uncomfortable when she joined me in 'Please Donate'. She made a booth on the opposite side of the map and stayed away from the other booths the entire time she was there. I spotted her directly facing me and my booth, no words spoken. I approached and asked her to stop, but she only replied with 'It hurts.' before leaving.
After that, I unfriended her temporarily to see if she'll stop. She didn't, and kept following me, depending on what badges I collected on each game I played. I decided to confront her in our Roblox DMs once I befriend her again, since she is mostly out of character there. I told her to stop and what she was doing was making me uncomfortable. I even asked for the story of her character to get some information about it.
She only replied with 'It hurts.'.
The last time I saw her was in 'Toytale RP'. A blackout happened and I was too busy getting a flashlight to notice the 'Your friend joined' pop up appeared above my screen. I went down the stairs and near a fireplace before testing out my flashlight. I saw her, near that fireplace, the fresh entire, torso and green eyes only seen.
'It hurts.'
I was nervous, but not scared. This 'in character' obsession was being taken too far. The blackout continued, and I was being followed all over the house. Her nickname was changed to a pitch black name, so I wouldn't be able to see her move around. Everywhere I went, whether that was a hiding place or a secret room, I couldn't escape her. She was always there, saying 'It hurts.' and pursuing me. No matter what I do she wouldn't leave me alone.
I finally stopped playing Roblox for a while, doing other things to recollect my thoughts and finally feel safe once again. I played other games, like Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare 1 and 2, Lego games, etc. After a few weeks, I hesitantly went back on Roblox. She was offline. Relieved, I played my favorite Roblox games again. I played with my other friends and felt very good.
She must have been busy with some other things, which I understood. There are more things important than Roblox. A few days passed and she was still offline. I was still feeling good while playing Roblox games, making and trying out avatars, etc.
After 2 weeks passed I completely forgot about her obsession with that strange creature she called 'It hurts'. It was probably because of how long she wasn't online, busy with other things.
One day, as I grew an interest in more Backrooms games, I found her again. It turns out I joined her this time. She was hanging in a dark Poolrooms level. When I found her staying still in the water, she spots me, before saying 'You're hurting.'.
From my observations, the character 'It hurts' is a semi-aquatic alien that loves to stalk others with no particular intent or reason. An alien that wishes to be human.
It was the most strange 2 months of my life. But, I somewhat enjoy it now after that. My friend does a pretty good job making me enjoy her strange creations. She is still that creature, but for some reason, I'm eager to learn more during the whole process. Learn more about 'It hurts'.
