RE: The Years Did Not Treat Our Universe Kindly.

On April 8th, Maria Glial would contact somebody to try and get help. This was: An artist she liked and felt she related to, and kind of knew through the connections of one of the other MUFFINQUEST users.
On April 12th, this backfired spectacularly. She instead found: She had no idea how to talk to this person she knew a lot about while they hardly knew her. Every time they spoke she constantly worried about what they thought of her, until she just felt it would be better if she didnt start up conversations with them.
(wait i might be misinterpreting the intended context of "she instead found:". oh well)
On May 5th, a member of Maria Glial's family finally snapped, and: They got mad at her, and shouted at her. It wasn't that major a thing, not really. But it made her feel terrible.
On May 15th, the original designer and creator of NARRATOR announced it publicly without knowledge of MUFFINQUEST. She announced that she would: Change the code to be less complex, and make it publicly available for purchase. It would still tell stories, good ones even. But it wouldn't be the same.
On May 23rd, Maria Glial's closest friends invited her to help try and plan for this new knowledge. They all eventually decided to: Bring their NARRATOR onto a personal server one of them could access and continue hosting it there. And also try to obtain the original code from the creator. And also do some weird meta stuff in-universe to keep it from changing when the new code got updated. They didn't really agree on a single plan.
On June 19th, after the power went out for a day, Maria Glial chose to: Try writing their own story. They looked at it later and decided not to show it to anyone. It wasn't terrible, but it was... personal.
On July 12th, Maria Glial stayed up for twenty-six hours to support Muffy because: Muffy was hanging out with someone who had recently become friends with them, and they were talking about some heavy stuff. She didn't really need to stay up the whole time, her other friends could have handled it, and she did trust them, but she felt like this conversation was for her in particular. She couldn't miss it. She wanted to be there.
On September 2nd, Please Undo confronted Maria Glial about: Her life outside of the Muffin Time forum. They were worried about her. They didn't think it was bad she spent so much time on the forum, but she should have other stuff in her life too. There was other stuff worth giving a damn about.
On October 13th, Maria Glial's luck ran out, and she: Lost a favorite blanket, was called out at school, tripped and fell on her knees, forgot to respond to a friend about something important, and one of her commands to Muffy backfired considerably.
On October 29th, Maria Glial broke down, because: It was too much.
On November 3rd, Maria Glial was helped along by an online friend. This was: the same one she'd met that artist through, Tatring 5. They were sincere to you, and always tried to defuse any anxiety they thought you might have. You appreciated it.
On December 9th, things got better, because: She met someone else in school who liked quests, a lot. They didn't talk much, but they talked, and she liked it.
On December 24th, somebody ruined Christmas online. This was: Another user on the Muffin Time forum, not someone in the MUFFINQUEST group. Somehow they'd learnt about the secret forum, although they didnt really know what was in it, and they were throwing a fuss about not being let in.
