The Black Coat Network has its first in-person meeting. Seeing the others was… surprising.

evevictus :What have you been up to>
VosskMBH:
Braving four feet of flooding to push people's cars out of danger.
VosskMBH:
And babies. Sometimes babies.
evevictus:
Haha, that seems like a lot of work.
VosskMBH:
It was kind of fun. I'll tell you the whole story.
So it's Friday night, and we are heading to the beaches. Myself and four others. The rain is so bad we can barely see in front of us. The road is nothing but grey mist.
So before we know it, we're shooting water from our tires and soon it stops. I can't see. When we stop at a red light, I realize what's wrong: We're in about four feet of water.
VosskMBH:
So I immediantly pull into the nearest parking lot because I stopped my car in water. It's fucked.
It stalls on the way up the ramp. We sit there for a few seconds in shock, but we get out and push it up this steep ramp. It was crazy. I was completely soaked afterward.
We go into Waffle House and a few minutes later see people stalling on their way into the parking lot, so I'm running back into the water pushing their cars.
evevictus:
Wait, this really happened? i thought you were joking at first.
VosskMBH:
No, completely serious.
evevictus:
Where do you live again?
VosskMBH:
Jacksonville, Northeast Florida.
Apparently last time that happened was 94.
evevictus:
When was this?
Yesterday, or a wekk ago, or when?
VosskMBH:
So anyways, I push about four cars in the Publix and Waffle House parking lots. It was an adrenaline rush. By the end of the night when we got a ride from a truck, I had pushed thirteen to high ground and removed two children from flooding cars.
Last night.

A mysterious light, in the evening sky!
Fireballs in this area of town? I’m grabbing my robe and wizard hat as I type.

One by one, the Utopians unfollow me. Guess I’m dystopian or something. Oh well. Utopians are pricks that judge other people and turn their noses up at them. So I’m turning my nose up at YOU. I’m too good for you.
Still one left.
Hey, it’s your turn.
I’m sure I’ve…
Justin (Sorry, I’m not calling you Vossk), the whole point of that post was irony. I was speaking in the way I’ve see you act or heard you speak. And it wasn’t necessarily just one person, either.
I guess I just got involved with you at the wrong time during that whole utopian idea. By watching and being around you, I got the impression that utopians were domineering, unsocial people who enjoy pointing out people’s flaws while asserting their superiority whenever possible. In turn, I became that way (minus the domineering part; I saw myself as extremely insignificant during that time) and I’m still trying to change that. It’s been a long process.
Yes, I can’t stand some of the things I did during that time, but I didn’t do those things because I thought it made me utopian, it was for other reasons.
Your friends shouldn’t have followed me just because I was your friend, and they shouldn’t have unfollowed me just because I stopped being your friend. It should really be about how they like or dislike what I post. I post mainly about my life, so I guess that could bore some people, which brings me to…Vael, what exactly did I do/say to disappoint you? Like I said, I only post about my life, and yes, my life disappoints me greatly, but what about it disappointed you? (I’m hoping you see this through Justin’s page since you won’t see it on mine. I’d really like a response.)
Also, I was angry when I posted my original post. I come to Tumblr to vent, hence all of my angry posts, and I happened to notice my decline in followers (not that it should even matter how many people follow me). Since I only had about 8 followers and it dropped to 6, I pretty much know who left. I guess the people that remain are the only ones that can put up with my crap. Anyway, I am sorry. I hope this doesn’t make you think poorly of me. I don’t think you guys know how hard I worked to be a part of your utopian group. I envied the confidence and intelligence you all seem to have.
Reblogging for Vael to see too
I don’t expect you to call me Vossk. I didn’t get your irony at all, but I’m glad you’re changing into who you want to be. I think that was the point all along. I didn’t think the utopian thing was that big of an influence, but perhaps my memory is faulty.
