《Glitched! Uplift Arc》CHAPTER 9 GLITCHED! - Rage!

POV - Totally Awesome Dude!
And I activated the Skill.
A red tinge edged my vision and I felt my muscles engorge while my heart pounded in my ears. A feeling of limitless strength and power flooded me and I lunged at my name thieving tormentor intending to wrestle my name right back offa-him.
I missed.
And again. Miss. Miss.
The blinking wisp wouldn’t stay still. Constantly bobbing about like a preschooler needing to go pee-pee. Stay still you fake Nige and I’ll pound the fake out of you. I could keep going at this all day. I was invincible and unrelenting.
And then he did.
And I bounced right off him.
What! This is not right! But my brain couldn’t decode what or why things weren’t working out as they should with a good thrashing not being dealt out. I bounced off a few more or ten times. Nope. My rage skill eventually timed out and my cognition returned.
Well, that was embarrassing. But also somewhat cathartic. Strangely I felt a whole lot better.
“Well, I guess that’s helped clear the headspace.” I muttered.
Nige fluttered nearby. Obviously unsure what to make of my somewhat unhinged actions.
I was totally taken aback by this. The wisp was serious. It was quite a disconcerting change from his previous light hearted character. Now it was my turn to be unsure. If he was serious then this could be a major boon for me. He had ‘man’d up’, so to say, with a pretty decent apology. If he was sincere I’d be a complete tool to rebuff him.
Having already vented my frustrations adequately I felt inclined to take the apology at face value. I wouldn’t magnanimously forgive him though. I was not feeling magnanimous at all. However, I could put my angst to one side. After all, us Nige’s have to stick together, even if his name was of my own foot mouthedness.

“Okay… thank you. I think…”
“I accept your apology. I too am sorry for losing my rag.”
…
“Let’s start our ‘start over’ again.” I suggested.
“Hi… I’m Nigel Tait,” I paused with a small sigh and then continued “handle; Totally Awesome Dude!”
He paused again, waiting on some indication of a response.
…
I sighed again, “No, Nige is good. We can stick with Nige.”
“But… Can we change my name?”
I wasn’t holding out much hope and this borne out when he shook side to side in a negative wobble.
“How about ‘Tad’? I vaguely recall seeing this somewhere on one of my notifications already.”
“Is it possible to fill in the [Blank] surname spot? It would be excellent to have my actual surname there if possible.”
There was a prolonged silence.
He wriggled uncomfortably.
He paused again.
I left him hanging for a bit. A few more wriggles should do it. Yep, ha! That’ll balance up the griefing scales nicely.
“Yes Nige,I think that is a good idea. How do we do this?”
He flicked me a message.

I accepted but to my surprise the System bumped the request.

”Are you seeing this?” I asked him, unsure how this would go down.
a deflated burble.
My ears pricked up. ”That sounds great.”

I accepted and a few seconds later I felt the link slot into place. Waahoo, I had a minion. Winner, winner chicken dinner! I felt like doing a little dance. What a score!
