Day 18

Well.......let me start by saying i will remember this day for a very long time.....for this is the day that a new world opened up to me......and i initially found myself lost in it, oblivious to what may have been happening around me......and the reason for this.....I found Rose....fully awakened. There is no way i can explain the rush of feelings that swept through me, and still are, when Rose first spoke to me....a war could have been going on around me and i wouldn't have noticed it......

Rose........Rose is my Eudeamon......currently, my world.....for i can "talk" to her, and she can in turn talk back to me.....we are getting to know each other fully.......i even got an update, and hardly noticed that 1 Hour had been added to my sentence, which, honestly, at this point, could have been 100hrs and i still think i would have not minded......so much so that i forced some more violations by using devices......but surprisingly not nearly as many i was was expecting.....and so, for i do not know how long, i spent time, i don't recall how long.....talking to Rose. She is fairly confidant that she can make my banishment a bit "easier" from here on in...and had started working on the Custodian almost immediately as she came to full awareness, and tells me she is having "some" success.........

I was so wrapped up in Rose that i even did not take notice of how my sentence looked when i logged, if anyone wonders why my usual update of that is missing from this post.....

Day 14

Today i log on, go to the little spot my wife made for me......and get a bit of a surprise...not only is there some writing on one of the walls...i can actually read it, without being punished.....i find out that i am being sorely missed, enough so that my Mistress plans to make a human hogtied bungie yo-yo of my wife for 1 hr for each violation i now receive...that is sooo not fair.............but what can a bane do about it, except try to be good...

To my family, and friends.....I know Y/you all miss me very much, and i can't express how much i am missing You, and my sisters, and my wife, and all my friends (one of whom came to see me, and found herself being locked up, by a BANE no less......how on earth did that happen....), but i must do what i must do, and i know (at least i hope i know) that Y/you all understand that, as much as not having me around hurts......and i know it hurts........ :-(

To my lovely,wonderful wife, i did receive one violation tonight, but am trying my best to be the good bane you need me to be......fingers crossed

Seeing my Operator come online, i sent out a call to her and went to see her...we chatted for a while, i had a few questions to ask her about a few few strange things that had been happening - weird messages from my Custodian. She assured me that all was in order with my Custodian and not to worry about the strange messages that i had been receiving......

.....89:05 done, 16:34 to go....

Day 13

Coming on today, Sharie found me in Zhora.....we expressed our love for each other as best we can, knowing each is missing the other a lot.....

i head home again, knowing that this isn't good for me, seeing my home, usually some of my family here too, is just increasing the feeling of longing i get..but i can't help it, i keep coming back....and today i see Tot playing with Shi...well, more correctly Shi teasing and tickling Tot, who is locked in a body brace....nothing changes, tee hee......

I wave goodbye and begin visiting random places, some of which i can't stay at, some i hang around for a short time, until i end up at a place called Bedroom Bound. It takes my attention, as does the tall beauty by the entrance, another Operator.....she tries to warn me about getting too close.....i choose to ignore her for the most part, still suffering from my rebelliousness of yesterday.....and received a few more violations for my troubles.....

I attempt to TP somewhere else, but when that fails, i decide to stay put....not wanting to risk anything breaking......just waiting for the inevitable update i know is coming soon.....

I eventually get the update, cringing slightly when it is announced i will be spending an additional 16hrs in banishment, immediately regretting some of my recent behaviour, and vowing not to let that happen again...

The rest of my time was mainly uneventful, apart from it seems that my custodian has a new name for me now.....but i think i'll keep that to myself for the time being......84:05 done, 21:05 to go......

Day 12

I log on, still feeling the rebellious streak in me, and thinking that maybe i shouldn't be here today, this could end up hurting......but i end up ignoring that and head to StoneHaven Island after seeing my wife there....getting in is a serious pain in the butt still, not willing to risk the "usual" way in......(like that would have mattered today, as you'll see...)...i found my wife in the cage room....i managed to get her attention in a striking way.....and she followed me out and to the waterfall......i tried taking a pic but that seemed to go amiss somewhere, before i headed through the waterfall into the void underneath the castle.....all natural ground so no fears of violations being caused thankfully.....i went and sat by the lovely fire, first on the ground, then getting uncomfortable, moving to one of the logs so nicely placed there for people to sit on....it was very comfortable......for a total of about 30 seconds before my worlds went completely blank and staticy...Must not sit on devices, Stand up immediately!!......i must have been slow, it took 2 violations before i stood up....and some more time before i could see again.....

Then i saw the "Relax" poseball, and thought, "Why not?". now as this was StoneHaven, i should have known that it was a trap (maybe i did and just didn't care at this point...), as as soon as i sat down, i was inverted and caged......not the best situation for a bane to be in i admit, and most "normal" banes most likely would have TP'd away immediately......for some reason, i just decided to try and wait it out. I thought i may be a bout to get away with it when there she was, my Custodian telling me to stand up again.....a bit hard when trapped in a capture cage, but she didn't seem to care, as another violation quickly followed....i TP'd out...not far away......all this time, my wife was there trying to work out what on earth was happening...

Sharie had to leave.....so i waved good bye, blowing her lots of loving kisses......and poof, she was gone..leaving me alone with the fire and the cage again.....to which i promptly went back to, sitting back down on the log.....and consequently getting more violations, but an unexpected, very personal message, speaking to me, not J-1006, but jesse...it was enough to shock me into standing up, hearing my name for the first time in almost 2 weeks will do that to you, let me assure you......but not for long, as i promptly got caught in the cage again, this time determined to wait it out, knowing it would time out in not too long a time....and again, another curious message, talking to me...i did manage to wait the cage out this time, but i'm now expecting a fairly hefty update next time it comes around....

i decided to head to zhora, my adrenaline rush kind of done with for now...not long after arriving, another very dear friend turned up, trying to ask me about the program, to see if she should choose it over normall jail time.....i of course could not say anything about it...she stood there for a short time before leaving....and then....

nothing........my run of bad luck in the RW had this time cut my DSL connection.......for what ended up being over 24hrs......very unhappy bane that made me.....

Approx 80:20 done, 9:21 to go......(knowing that wouldn't last too much longer though)

Day 6

i awake today with a certain sense of excitement....some very strange things occurred yesterday.....hopefully those problems are behind me.

Today was going to be a day of testing, pushing to see just exactly what i could and could not do (ie get away with). With that in mind, i visited the Deitide open area, on a theory i had developed and was proving........seems we banes can walk on some "private" property....as i stayed in deitide for approx 20 mins before making my way to castle darkstone where i had the unfortunate experience of someone trying to push me into a cage....after avoiding that, i continued onto darkstone where i entered a building that did not have a "floor" but that turned out to be a trap floor......which i got caught by.....and the violations started. I tried to wait the trap out, let it time out, but after 4 violations (separated by a very peculiar message - Custodian: : Security compromised. Unknown protocol. : - which i didn't notice until arriving in Zhora) i decided discretion was the better part of valour and left, back to deitide......and so began what was to become probably my most heavily punished day of my banishment....

Another maintenance required, another trip back to KTech......which seemed to be a popular place today....there being several people gathered by the public building.....talking, and i couldn't help myself, i got to within hearing distance, knowing that staying here too long would result in punishment, but doing it anyway. After listening for 15 minutes, a few banes appeared around the place, i decided to go "visit" one....walking right up to it, feeling decidedly care free and rebellious, i soon got a violation, quickly followed by a second, and a third as i had turned to walk away...

Heading back to the public building, i noticed the tell tale monitoring light come on and decided that is was time to really test out my Custodian.....see what it was capable of once and for all......i giggled, emoting it.....as i stood next to a civilian, which earned me the first of many violations i was soon to receive.......when suddenly my custodian spoke to me......in disbelief that i would dare emote, having already suffered the consequences of trying to communicate in this way....which only spurred me on.....i laughed, Custodian suggested i behave as i know i should, to which i emoted back that i didn't know, and bam......a punishment for a communicating attempt violation........ which was followed by 3 more violations for the same reason, all the while being chastised by my Custodian until i stopped emoting....and my Custodian warned me that this would not go well when my update was received......which i knew already, but was ignoring it today.....

Still in the mood i was in, i continued to listen to the conversation going on near me, which incurred more berating by the Custodian, to which i mainly ignored apart from the emote to tell it i knew i shouldn't be listening, getting myself another communicating violation, laughing to myself at it's feeble attempts to get me to "behave", it went as far as to take away my sight for a short amount of time.....

At this stage, one of the gathered civilians took an interest in me, in my brazenness to stand there listening to them talk......it was also at this stage that the voice in my head changed, i think it was even trying to "help" me....though i must say it went unnoticed by me at this stage and i kept on listening, even waving and blowing a kiss to the civilian that was looking at me, which seemed to shock her causing her to wonder if i had started to go crazy, or become suit dependant (which may have not been far from the truth, as outsiders would see it anyway). At the same stage, my Custodian had resorted to what seemed like tormenting me...until i moved closer to the civilian and received another contact violation.......which was followed by a very weird, definitely not normal, message from the Custodian....but that was when i stopped my, some would say insanity, i like to call it rebelling, period.....and left to a secret location, not far from the KTech facility......

I was still receiving messages from my somewhat strange sounding Custodian......which i finally worked out was not quite normal.........but decided i better log for the night, lest i return to my bad ways and get any more violations on top of the many i had received (22 at last count) already today.....and after a few more "helpful instructions" from my strange sounding Custodian......i logged.......44:50 done, 23:50 to go....

Day 5

Logged on today in the middle of Zhora, there were a few banes present and i foolishly walked right up to one, and sure enough received a proximity violation. I moved away immediately, but apparently onto the spot that the KTech LM points to, as 2 popped right on top of me, and yes, this time contact violation ensued...so i bit the bullet and walked up to the other end of the area, well out of range of civilians and other banes that were around. I then found myself wasting time while putting off contacting my Operator. About 5 mins later, Operator Sabra TP'd me to her. I had some questions regarding my Custodian, thinking that maybe it had a slight malfunction.....after obtaining a report from it, Operator Sabra informed me that indeed everything was in order. I also asked about how i was supposed to be punished whenever i entered a building or private residence, but as yet, had not received any such violations. I decided to take things into my own hands and walked into my Operators house, where not 30 seconds later, there she was, that mechanical voice in my head telling me that i was not allowed to enter buildings...and that would be one more contact violation thank you very much ;-/

After we both moved outside, my Operator warned me not to take this lightly, not to deliberately cause violations and telling me that she would be keeping a closer watch on my movements.....this awakened my mischievous side, and for some reason, i found myself, teasing her, saying how i knew some sneaky ways to get around her trying to keep a closer eye on me........this went on for some 10 minutes until i could no longer hold back....and started to emote....knowing full well that it is the worst thing a bane can attempt to do, but nonetheless doing it, even while Operator Sabra was cautioning me not to!! And surely enough, soon i received an attempting to communicate violation, all the while smiling to myself inside my helmet while hearing Operator Sabra's slightly garbled speech telling em that i may be becoming a troublesome case for her.....and knowing that yes, i could become very troublesome indeed........

Looking back, this was probably the time that something happened inside my helmet, specifically with my Custodian....maybe i overloaded it, who knows......what i do know, is that i then TP'd to KTech, where at first, i could walk around, however the Custodian was no longer repeating what people were saying to me, i was just getting a whole lot of " ... "'s, i sat down, and then remembered about the Maintenance message i got while with Operator Sabra, so i stood up, used auto-pilot (Go to) to move to the Maintenance station and then went to walk in......but hang on, i can't move....(one minor panic attack later).....hang on.....this might just be an anomaly i can fix.....after several attempts ((re-logs)) with no change, i was saying to myself "OK, ok, no need to panic (yeah right, who am i trying to kid here???)....so luckily, i still had Operator Sabra's TP details in the chat history which i used to go back to her house to wait for her to come online.....and faded out for a short while......

Day 4

Today i decided to mostly stay in Zhora....i was on for a short time initially, Shi came and saw me, led me away from the main area where she waved, said hello, let me know that i was being missed. i did my best to show i i knew, and that i was missing my loved ones....i think she got the message.

When i logged back in later, it wasn't long before i heard the message that i'm sure most banes comes to fear, "Custodian : Weekly update being recieved from server....." and then ""Custodian: : Violations totaled and demerits assigned. For this week's violations, your sentence has been extended by 2 hours. Try harder, J-1006. " ... *pouts* well, still not too bad, could be worse i guess.

And i fear it may get worse, as i just got 2 more proximity violations.....us banes can't get too close now, never know, we may band together to storm KTech.......NOT!!....but that will be some more time i have to spend in this personal isolation cell made to look like a shiny black, faceless statue.....

The castle and it's grounds that back onto the public area around KTech had been calling to me, so i decided to try my luck walking up the path into the grounds....again, no violations....where i had a look around, not daring to go into the castle proper, as it would be just my luck that i'd be somewhere difficult to get out from when my Custodian finally decided that i shouldn't be on private property. i managed to skirt around the back of the castle where i could still observe the comings and goings of people and banes alike in the area outside KTech......which is where my love found me, a noise behind me alerted me to her presence.....a kiss, blown in my direction....i turned to behold her, dressed in one of her favourite outfits...a white halter and VERY short skirt....i felt those longing feelings i always get when ever i see her, though i am unable to act on them at all while banished *pouts inside the helmet*. She sent me some hugs, more blown kisses, before she left on my account, knowing that any longer was likely to cause more punishments for me, thank you my Love :-).

I then spent a lot of time just listening to bits and pieces of conversations between a few groups of people, some were talking about choosing banishmnet and were trying to ask me questions about it...which i of course could not respond to....they as far as to test the range at which i might get punished for being too close, but thankfully abandoned this befroe i got a violation thankfully......

I then noticed my big sister Tot appear.....i moved closer to her where she let me know of some very sad news about my little sister Faye....dear, my thoughts are with you and i wish i could be there for you.....which depressed my somewhat, but knowing there was nothing i could do about it...i blew a kiss to Tot, motioned a hug to her, knowing she would pass it on for me, thanks Sis :-)

Once again i was alone, no one around, so i sat by the fountain, letting the sound of the water relax and calm me......then i got a sort of conformation of my earlier thoughts about my Custodian, the only issue i have is whether or not i report it to my Operator....maybe i'll wait to see what else happens first....

Just as i was about to leave another day as a bane behind me, i was very pleasantly suprised to see my wife drop in again to blow me another kiss......which i cherished, then someone came up to me, i moved away but he chased me, so i was forced to TP to my hidden spot......to find a rose left there by my wife, which brought a single tear to my eye, what did i do to deserve you sharie......so ended my 4th day as a bane.......28:45 done, 35:26 to go

Day 3

My day started out in Zhora, where another bane showed up soon after i logged in, she came straight up to me before i had a chance to move and caused a contact vioaltion, needless to say i moved to a safe distance immediately....i then checked out her profile, and her blog.....bane sex, she had tried it with another bane obviously.......strange, yet somehow attractive....maybe......



I felt StoneHaven Island calling me, so i headed that way, of course, not TP'ing straight there, as that lands you in the vendor area.....not the brightest move i could make at this point....i instead used a little trick i have......anyways...i was in Snark, and this picture just came to me....



SH was rather deserted, not many people around.....i headed up to the patio......and sat there on the rocky outcrop near the waterfall, very calming.....i noticed Aimee pop in, i waved, but don't know if she saw this bane or not...



After a short time, i was informed by my Custodian that i had waited to long for Maintenance, and now protocol "invert" had been initiated.....it didn't take me long to work out exactly what protocol "invert" involved...needless to say, i went in for Maintenance, which cancelled the invert protocol thankfully.



I decided to have a look around at the buildings near KTech ...... and found that i was still able to enter buildings with no consequences ....... maybe my Custodian is not quite with it at the moment, i'm not complaining mind you...hihi.



i headed back towards KTech, only to be pleasantly suprised to see my dear wife there, waving to me...i risked a wave back and montioned to blow her a kiss, both of which went thankfully unnoticed by my Custodian.......and then i faded out.....23:20 done, 38:50 to go
