Did I decrease it's power output, or increase it's essence cost to enact this complex change to the pyramid?

Either way, I decreased the VR helmet's Energy Consumption to 5%, granting me a surplus of it.

+1

  I redirect Surplus energy to Major V, and from there, consider showing off my new VR helmet to all my friends, before thinking back to what he told me.  It could be dangerous, loose lips sink ships after all.

I might do it anyway, I trust my friends, even though I have quite a few.

In the end, I decided to call my (Extracurricular Friends//School Friends//Hobby Friends//Likeminded Friends//Nobody//Somebody Else)

No matter who we call, we'll talk to them about something else.

Something Else is a write in option.

Bumping due to two invalid actions disagreeing with the only valid one.

+1 to thus then

  I decided to call three of my closest friends, Johnny, Daniel and Arin, we four have known one another since kindergarden, and can hardly find anything we disagree with on, from Movie Preferences to Figment Discussions, hopefully I'm not so transparent to give away the secret, but I can't help but brag a bit, claiming to them that my new Virtual Reality helmet was a gift from my parents.  after a while we decided to try it out, playing (A game from the first list//A game from a new list//A different game [Write In])

Play Edgelands 2. It's the best multiplayer game in existence

[Whisperling]

PTW.

[Shadestyle]

  I set up my VR helmet, got them set up with controllers and started a game of Edgelands 2, the best Multiplayer Game in existence.  I use the excuse of a game update to explain how I could more accurately control the character, and how her voice and mannerisms seem to match My own.  Utilizing the VR helmet at such a low setting gave me ghosts of experiences, how manipulating the energy in game feels when I used my active to pick them up with Telekinesis, and how using the guns I obtain feels and works.

  Unfortunately, as should be expected, I was shot, the sensation of a bullet entering my shoulder more than I could handle, I bit back a scream, the controller sent flying as I clutched the aggrieved area, a phantom pain sending white hot bolts beyond anything I had ever experienced before, numbing my mind and filling my ears with my own hissing.

  The game is paused, the helmet ripped off by Daniel, the smart one of my group, they look panicked, as they rightly should be, The pain ceases instantly, but my mind still reels with the memory of it, the memory of pain causing my breath to quicken even as the sensation is gone completely.

  Honestly, It is likely that I had this coming, considering how drastically I underestimated the power output of my helmet, it's capabilities, my own skill in Edgelands, my tolerance for pain, and the sheer pain of being shot.
