Shorts:KKC Visit

The humid Khon Kaen air was a far cry from the concrete jungle of NeoBangkok, but MoNoRi-Chan, the catboy painter, remained undeterred. He wasn't vacationing; he was infiltrating, his Pixel 7 Pro his paintbrush instead of a camera. Khon Kaen's digital landscape shimmered, waiting for his emerald touch. He painted fields, linked portals, and captured Machina strongholds, a silent warrior aiding the local Enlightened.

February 20th dawned bright, but an unusual notification caught MoNoRi-Chan's eye. In the COMM channel, his fiercest rival, BigBB of Khlong 4, had pinged him. "Quit hiding, catboy," the message read. "Or have you finally given up?"

MoNoRi-Chan chuckled. Even rivalry held a strange camaraderie in the Ingress community. And the daily challenge update offered a unique perspective. Some objectives required interacting with the opposing faction. With a shift in heart, he saw BigBB not just as an enemy, but as a fellow player, a force keeping the game balanced.

His fingers flew across the keyboard. "Just painting a different province green, BigBB," he replied. "Back in NeoBangkok soon. Don't miss me too much!"

Later, sharing a cup of local coffee with Igq, MoNoRi-Chan recounted the exchange. "See, even rivals can be friends," he mused. "It's like yin and yang, both sides needed for the game to shine."

Igq grinned, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Speaking of rivals, while you've been conquering Khon Kaen, BigBB hasn't been idle. Looks like he's been scouting your usual haunts in Khlong 4. Maybe it's time for a welcoming committee?"

MoNoRi-Chan's lips curled into a playful smile. "Tell him the catboy's coming home," he said, his fingers already itching to paint the town green, this time against a familiar blue backdrop. His absence had served its purpose, and now, it was time for the real game to begin.

As sunlight kissed the rice fields of Khon Kaen, a different battle simmered in NeoBangkok. MoNoRi-Chan, the catboy painter, was returning, armed with a newfound perspective and a thirst for a balanced victory. The stage was set, the players poised, and the digital landscape awaited its next artistic masterpiece – a vibrant tapestry woven from emerald and sapphire, a testament to the delicate dance between rivals, friends, and the ever-evolving world of Ingress.
