Tales of a Former Admin

[Garrett Jax]

Former Admin Garrett Jax seated himself at a corner table at Sunbucks Cafe, next to a window overlooking the blue planet of Manhattan. He nodded to the waitress when she pointed to a pot of freshly brewed coffee. Sunbucks coffee wasn't as good as Admin coffee, but it ran a close second. He took a sip and smiled. The only thing missing was the Tears of Zoners. That sweet water was reserved solely for the Admin’s brew, but he didn't care. The coffee here worked just fine.

Sunbucks coffee, although different, helped stave off the homesickness he had for the Temple of the Damned. Sometimes he missed being an Admin. A Mortal recently told him that the Temple didn't exist anymore. How could that be? If he ever discovered what Dev made that change, he was going to kick his arse all the way over to the sweatshop hellhole known as Star Citizen.

Every once in awhile he would lurk around and see what was what with the Community. Sometimes, he’d even succumb to the temptation to interject his thoughts on a topic. One guy wanted to build a wall around the Community, kicking out all A.N.I.M.E lovers, making himself President. What the hell was wrong with A.N.I.M.E? The last thing we’d want is a mob of A.N.I.M.E Rights Activists pounding on our doors demanding the fair and ethical treatment of A.N.I.M.E characters. If that scenario played out, Furries, Bronies and Ponies might get emboldened and start screaming to be let out of their special place--The Reservation. Garrett shivered at the thought.

It was a little unnerving to find himself outside the protective environs of the Temple and smack dab in the middle of such a...diverse set of people. He couldn't recall ever seeing a Bronie walking the halls of the Damned, although he understood that Reverend Del was a secret Pony sympathizer. Garrett simply kept a low profile around these freaks highly valued people and avoided making eye contact at all times. Best not to encourage them, he concluded.

So, until Garrett could figure out where he fit in among the Community, he was going to sit right here at Sunbucks and enjoy his Tearless cup of coffee.
