Red glare
So, I am sitting at my desk, inworld, talking about some content creation, and suddenly there is a bright red glare. A bright red laser dot, shining through a crack in the drapes in the middle of the evening, right into my left eye.
I was afraid at first to go to the door, fearing what I might find, but I ultimately opened the door with my partner backing me up. Nothing. Nobody. Walk out and look up and down the street. Not a soul, and not a sound.
Now I can't see properly out of my left eye.
Yes, we called the police. I felt a bit silly about it, but they they took it quite seriously and there is now a patrol car cruising the streets.
It has been about a half hour now, and my left eye is still all blurry.

It was a form of physical assault, plain and simple. Don't try to explain it away even though its only a laser - lasers have been proven to cause severe eye damage before.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I would get that eye checked out. Have the police countersign against the bill if necessary - this is a matter of medicating on the after-effects of a assault.

You could have gotten a faster response and notice if you had IMed Tateru Nino inworld. I'm not really sure how much slower it'll become being put through this way.
Eeh, get the eye checked. lasers aren't meant to go near your eyes. I wish you health and cake.
