I haven't played in a couple of months or so. I injured my thumb a while ago trying to get my car out one day for work awhile back, after there was a lot of snow, and this made videogames very painful to play, and one like Halo, where fast movements are made and the left thumb is frequently clicking the left thumbstick in to run, excruciatingly painful. So I took a break from all games for awhile, then only played GTA 5, as it allows some relaxed play. Finally, my thumb is above 90% I'd say, and it's safe to play Halo, so I did.
The game loads up. I enter multiplayer, and see the list of players I am with, as the game is loading me in. I first see the letters "DEVL", as it seems placed where I would look first, at the beginning of the list, or something. DEVL is the callsign (what is shown above the head, making it easier to call out to people mid battle, shorter than full names) of HG Devilicious- a player on my team, and when I am entered into the game, I realize it is well in-process... That I am being thrown into one, and not started fresh. It starts me off spectating DEVL, as he is launched from the base from some kind of player-launching thing I can't remember the name of. I make a connection. It's been so long since I played Halo. My name is Prisoner of God, on XBOX Live (though allcaps). I struggle with knowing, or not knowing, what is going on. And I have synchronicity in life, that I don't quite know the full "meaning" of. I don't always notice it, or incorporate and focus on everything... I believe some "random" or at least unseen, is necessary. But when I play these games, I often see order in the names, it seems. And numbers.
What does it "mean" that I saw DEVL to start, as I did? I don't know. I just took it to heart.
"Am I the devil? Am I God? Am I an angel?". "Am I dead?". I'm not sure that they are exactly exclusive.
But it threw me in, and I ended up getting a killing frenzy, where I kill 10 players without dying. I killed more, and finally did die. So it's kind of like the break didn't hurt me. I came back as one of the top players. At the game's end, I had the highest score on my team, with 370 points. Coming out on top made me feel good, having entered when they were over a quarter of the way through it seemed, and all the time off.
DEVL was the lowest scorer, on my team. He got a negative 14 kill/death spread. We lost by one kill, and I was this close to killing the guy on their team who seemingly got the last kill. They were right next to me.
Our team was red, and theirs was blue.
I struggled not to make sense of it/to make sense of it. There was more, but I don't want to get too complicated.
The top killer on my team had 23 kills. This came on the 23rd, which was my first day back, and 23 is a special number to me... Not that one two and three aren't, and 45, but I have noticed 23 in a certain way, and I don't think I paid much attention to numbers, before I did.
My kills were at 21, but my assists and other awards pushed me higher.
The devil brought us down.
(Devil had his clan-mates with him on our team, and they were HG VirulentFang [FANG], and HG Monk of Zion [MONK]- the only one in his clan in this game with a positive K/D spread. The top scorer on the other team had the callsign DEAD, and his name- TZK Fighter. Lowest scorer was Countrystyle00, callsign ZERK...)
