[timber loom]

Lizor camel 🐫

———-

“Dang, how long have we been walking?”

“Almost an hour?”

“We must almost be there then”.

You look up and see an iron like vault hatch.

“Here we are! Whitetown!”

[cosmic zenith]

scary vualt door

[timber loom]

How else are they gonna keep the floods and rain out?

[cosmic zenith]

[cosmic zenith]

[timber loom]

“Hehe! Look at him prepare!”

“Yeah, I guess these guys are a little bit cute…”

[cosmic zenith]

[timber loom]

—————

Grady knocks on the vault door, expecting a slot to open for a guard to admit him.

However, nothing happens after a minute.

“ uh… maybe he’s on break?”

He knocks again.

“Uh…”

“Grady, what’s going on?”

“A guard is supposed to let us in or something… but I… there…”

Grady pounds on the door. “HELLO? ANYONE THERE?”

No reply.

“Oh no! What do we do?!”

[cosmic zenith]

i use my ultimate power of haveing no bones and being infinitly squishy (just my little headcanon about scugs ) to slip under the door!

[timber loom]

You squeeze with all of your might, the little slug you are, and make it through the door!

“He just…”

“Yes he did”

—————

[cosmic zenith]

i love that response

[timber loom]

Same XD

———-

What you see on the other side amazed but scared you at the same time…

[cosmic zenith]

whats hte ------ for?

[timber loom]

Just to cut from one group of characters to another

[cosmic zenith]

ah

[timber loom]

Anyway

[cosmic zenith]

i look around

[timber loom]

In front of you is the city checkpoint… everywhere lies the dead bodies of Different variants of Chosen….

What…

Happened here?

[cosmic zenith]

i quickly open the door

[timber loom]

From the looks of it…

They’ve been dead a while, flies buzzing over their rotting corpses

[cosmic zenith]

dang 0-0

[timber loom]

You open the door. It creeks open slowly and scrapes against the metal.

“Thank you little- oh my God…”.

“Holy….”

“What… did this? Nononono this can’t be happening!”, yells a distressed Grady.

[cosmic zenith]

oh shoot autumm

[timber loom]

He and Lucas rush inside.

[cosmic zenith]

spear and rock at the ready i follow them

[timber loom]

“You do that.

“They just… died…. Almost as if the life was just sucked out of- WHAT IS THAT?!

One of the bodies suddenly reanimates… covered in…

That rot.

It groans and begins shambling toward them.

[cosmic zenith]

KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL

[timber loom]

“STAY BACK!”, yells Grady, running to the mother lizard for the shotgun.

[timber loom]

You hurl the spear at the walking corpse, striking it where the heart should be. It falls down, but gets back up and continues shambling toward you.

[cosmic zenith]

** KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL **

[timber loom]

You squeak, a loud boom erupting near you.

The corpse’s upper body explodes.

“I… I killed them…”.

[cosmic zenith]

what a great time for a panic attack

[timber loom]

E

[cosmic zenith]

HAS PANIC ATTACK

[timber loom]

You curl into a potato and shut your eyes.

The bapy lizars whimper and begin to nuzzle you

[cosmic zenith]

you swore

[timber loom]

AAAAAA WTH AUTOCORRECT

[cosmic zenith]

[timber loom]

WHY

WHY YOU DO THIS TO ME GOOGLE

[cosmic zenith]

[timber loom]

—————

“What kind of evil did this?!”

[cosmic zenith]

[timber loom]

Bapies try their best to comfort you lol

—————

“OH NO!!! AUTUMN!!!!!!”

“God, do you know where your house is?!”.

“Yeah! Come on! It’s not that far from here!”

That’s when you notice the overseer again. It prevents a hologram of a dark- like robed evil figure, sitting upon a throne of some sort?

“What is that?!?!

“No idea…”

———

[cosmic zenith]

i follow the chosen to their house

[timber loom]

You and the lizards follow closely behind the Chosen, running through the rot covered streets.

"Come on Lucas! We're almost there!", yells a distressed Grady

"Slow down, I can't keep up!"

"THERE'S NO TIME FOR ME TO SLOW DOWN!".

[cosmic zenith]

i start running on all fours and nip and lucas ankles as if i was herding sheep

[timber loom]

You do so, but running on all fours just makes scugs slowerXD

"OW! WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!", yells Lucas

"Wait, we're here!"

[cosmic zenith]

It appears to be boarded up...

[cosmic zenith]

[timber loom]

"Lucas! The door is boarded up! They could still be alive!"

[cosmic zenith]

i squish under the door and open a window

[timber loom]

You S Q U E E Z E under the door, your sluggynesss helping u out

[timber loom]

You look around... the house looks completely fine on the inside. This is a good sign!

You open up one of the locked windows.

"Our way in!", yells Grady.

Both Grady and Lucas jump inside the house.

The lizors stay outside.

"Wow... it looks just like it did when I was a kid...

[cosmic zenith]

comey comey motion

[timber loom]

just all the supplies are missing",

[timber loom]

You motion for the lizars to come inside, and after managing to squeeze through the window, they are inside.

However, they create a LOUD thump while climbing inside

[cosmic zenith]

i watch grady and lucas

[timber loom]

"Hello? Anyone there?", Grady calls out. "Mom? Dad? Autumn?".

the mother lizar sniffs the air and begins crawling in the direction of the basement.

"Hey hey hey look!", said Grady. "Over there!"

They follow behind the mother lizard.

The basement door isn't boarded, surprisingly.

[quiet bridge]

=> follow em

[timber loom]

Hey! Glad to see you again! Ok anyway... Grady slowly approaches the door, shotgun in hand.

[cosmic zenith]

[timber loom]

You all walk inside the basement. There are stockpiles of supplies, both food and medical.

[cosmic zenith]

[timber loom]

There are two sleeping mats placed next to each other near the cellar walls. On one of them lays a young wolf-chosen. They look distressed and sad.

"W...who's the kid?".

You crawl to them, meowing and handing the bread to them.

[timber loom]

"Oh, yes...", they start.

"Her name is Pixie. My father found her in one of his traps in the forrest outside. His job is to make sure no dangerous predator gets near the vault, so he took her home to treat her for her injuries. When we were about to release her again, she didn't want to leave my side...".

"We spent a year together... I loved her very much... when this... happened, my family and I were about to escape the vault... probably go to west point...". They stopped.

"We ran into those things... I told Pixie to run as far as she could... that she would be safe...".

"Mom and Dad told me the same thing...". They sniffle.

"I don't know where Pixie is".

Your sister could still be alive then!

"Do... you have a name?", Wake asks you.

what now?

[quiet bridge]

=> nod.

[timber loom]

You nod.

"Oh! You understand me? Well... what's your name?".

[quiet bridge]

=> stare like... bro you think i can tell you? chirp for evidence

[timber loom]

You chirp.

[quiet bridge]

hold on

actually

[timber loom]

"Oh... right... well, I should probably call you a nickname for now. If you don't like it, you can just shake your head".

[quiet bridge]

=> thumbs up

[timber loom]

"Oh! Heh! Okay... How about Wryn? Heh... my favorite book character... will that do?".

[quiet bridge]

=> sure!

i probably shouldve asked for actual name instead of scrolling all the way up lmao

[timber loom]

o lol

"You.. like it? Well, thank you. I am happy you were able to come here... I love Autumn, but she's usually not around all the time, so I get sad and lonely".

One of the baby lizars yawn.

"Oh, and them too. They are siblings, right?"

Lol everyone ran away XD

[quiet bridge]

=> nod. yea! not biological, but cant really communicate that can you

=> its obvious tho lmao

=> siblings, parent. its kind of ambiguous, actually

[timber loom]

"Right, right. Oh well, I think i'm going to stretch my legs a little".

What would you like to do now?

[quiet bridge]

=> ok! thumbs up. glad they're feeling good enough to.

[timber loom]

You give them the thumbs up as they gently pat the bapy to move aside.

"If you are hungry there's some bread by the supply crates", says Wake.

what now?

[quiet bridge]

=> BREAD BREAD BREAD?

=> THE CHILDREN NEED TO KNOW THE JOYS OF BREAD

[timber loom]

You hop and squeak excitedly. BREAD DELICIOUS

"Hehe... follow me! It's just over here!", says Wake, gesturing for you to follow them

[quiet bridge]

=> i follow, chirping to les babier to follow as well

=> i mean they are carnivorous tho actually

[timber loom]

Eh, they could probably eat some.

[quiet bridge]

=> yeaa

[timber loom]

You follow Wake over to the crate, and they hand you a few pieces of Bread.

"Here you go! Happy eating!".

[quiet bridge]

=> wait how many

[timber loom]

Like 3 loaves

[quiet bridge]

=> OMG THATS SO MUCH

[timber loom]

Bauget

[quiet bridge]

[timber loom]

You gobble one up and hand the other to the bapies. They eat it with ease.

[quiet bridge]

[timber loom]

other two

sorry

[quiet bridge]

oh ok

[timber loom]

"Oh Wake! I didn't see you stand up! Is everything going okay?", asks Autumn

"Yeah! I love this slugcat here! I named him Wryn!".

"I am glad you are happy!".

"Thank you!".

"Autumn...", starts Grady. "We should talk now.

NEW RULES!

You can switch characters!

[quiet bridge]

=> oh my god. well ig its time to check in with pixie, huh?

[timber loom]

………………..

You slowly begin to wake up. It’s been… 37 days since you last saw Wake. Who knows if they’re even alive at this point?

No, you brush this intrusive thought off your mind- maybe he escaped!

What now?

[quiet bridge]

=> where am i?

[timber loom]

You’re in an attic inside an old house you’ve been hiding inside. Around you are the piles of food you’ve been hoarding.

What now?

[quiet bridge]

=> in the rot city, right

[timber loom]

Yes. You are genuinely afraid. This place… with no way out… might be your fate…

[quiet bridge]

=> there has to be... windows? look outside?

=> specifically for particularly tall buildings..

[timber loom]

You look outside the attic window… those things are shambling the streets again… they always are.

[quiet bridge]

=> i specified

=> are there any particularly tall buildings

[timber loom]

Not exactly… maybe the wheat mill and ore processing factory are tall, but no building are particularly tall in this cavern.

[quiet bridge]

i forgor we're underground 💀))

how big is it, actually

as in, big enough we cant see the walls?

[cosmic zenith]

do we hear anything? let maybe my relativein the basment of a random house? scugs have great hearing

[timber loom]

You hear nothing in the house, but it would be a good idea to look around.

What now?

[cosmic zenith]

look around to make sure the way to the house is clear

sorry for the late response btw

[cosmic zenith]

KOKKOKOKKO

wake up

[timber loom]

IM SO SORRY

Ok anyway

You look around the house… it’s pretty empty. All of your supplies are still in the attic

It’s clear; let’s move!

What now?

Snow?

I’m sorry.

I was busy making dinner.

The heck why am I apologizing so hard XD?

[cosmic zenith]

oops i closed discord

SHONDONKWONKSHMONKLONKCLONK

[quiet bridge]

monk??

[timber loom]

Hi

im late again

I have an idea

I wont be around all the time, so what if u guys write down an action to do whenever you want and then i'll just respond to it?

[weary onyx]

okk

where did we leave off?

[timber loom]

We switched to Pixie, the other character option (your sister). She is in a house right now.

[weary onyx]

oh kk

=> observe surroundings

[timber loom]

Not much here; most of the furniture from this house is gone, but a fire poker that can serve as a weapon.

[weary onyx]

=> take fire poker and explore the house

[timber loom]

Taking the fire poker, you continue to look around, but once again, there’s nothing left here, only your stockpile of food in their attic- well not theirs anymore. They’ve long been “rotified”

[weary onyx]

=> leave house

[quiet bridge]

asked this a while ago.

=> we have to get out of this city, and our best idea rn is to get a scale of the journey ahead of us.

[timber loom]

You leave the house. Several of the rotified chosen still shamble around. They haven’t noticed you tho.

[timber loom]

You know… you have to try. Although the vault is sealed, there has to be another way out. Just another…

[weary onyx]

wait where did wyrn go

[timber loom]

You decide to try and get over to the food factory. It is the best way to view the city.

[timber loom]

We switched characters

[weary onyx]

oh ke

[timber loom]

You can switch back and fourth

[quiet bridge]

time to play broken age!!

[timber loom]

Uh

Ok

[weary onyx]

=> check rain timer and food pips

[timber loom]

You are underground. Rain or flood cannot reach you.

[quiet bridge]

saying that bc broken age is a puzzle game where you switch between to characters

[timber loom]

O lol sorry

[quiet bridge]

=> still yeah, how hungry are we at

[timber loom]

Very hungry; but the food you stockpiled is well over rotten now.

You don’t know how to get canned foods open either

[quiet bridge]

fire poker stab em

=> wait, are there canned foods tho?

[timber loom]

You don’t have any 😦

Maybe in the factory?

[quiet bridge]

=> let's get to that food factory, yeah

[timber loom]

Also I won’t respond instantly all the time lol

[timber loom]

You run over to the food factory, hoping not to attract the horde.

Luckily, none of them see you run in

[weary onyx]

=> observe surroundings

[timber loom]

The factory… is covered in that rot. However, the ladder to the roof is clear. Just be VERY CAREFUL to not make excessive noise.

[weary onyx]

=> climb up the ladder

[timber loom]

You climb up, your slugcada wings assisting you.

There’s an infected on the roof; it doesn’t see you however.

You can take it out quietly.

[weary onyx]

=> give the infected a huge ass whack to make it fall off

[timber loom]

You wack the fire poker against the infected and it goes flying off.

Dang, you must be really strong…

Or maybe it was just you being confident lol

Anyway

[weary onyx]

=> observe surroundings; did it attract any attention?

[timber loom]

No, they just keep shambling… looking at the vast town bellow, you see light coming from a house far off…

[weary onyx]

=> observe the house

[timber loom]

Upon further inspection… it is your owner’s house! Maybe they are still….

[weary onyx]

=> how far is it? if its nearby, glide over there

[timber loom]

It’s about a 39 minute trip. You could make it in no time… just be careful…

Your heart begins pounding in the realization that you could see your owner once again!

Oh how good it felt when you would Cuddle in Wake’s arms when you slept, and when they hugged you as they came home from school… how good and fresh the food tasted… it’s all coming back to you now…

[weary onyx]

=> try and silently glide over there; it quickly so that you wont be noticed

[timber loom]

You sigh, preparing to glide. You let your wings flutter before jumping off and slowly making your way to the house.

During the glide, you see the shamblers groan angrily as they see you.

Eventually you make it to the house.

[weary onyx]

=> make the visit quick, if the shamblers saw you fly in the direction of the house, they must know your location now

[timber loom]

You try the door of the house. It’s boarded, but perhaps there is another way in?

[quiet bridge]

=> get visions of an open window or smthn
Alternatively just think of that cuz it's a logical alternative

[timber loom]

You remember the window. To your luck, it is open!

However… the house is… destroyed…

All the furniture is broken and dust covers everything.

You then hear voices coming from below you

[quiet bridge]

=> didn't we have a basement!!!

[timber loom]

You run, well, hop to the basement.

The door is shut, but you can see lantern light coming from underneath.

[quiet bridge]

=> in rn

[timber loom]

You run up to the door, but it is locked.

[quiet bridge]

=> BANG BANG BANG LET ME IN

[timber loom]

You begin banging in the door like a maniac. All the voices stop.

[quiet bridge]

=> conveniently become your brother

[timber loom]

——————-

Just as you are finished munching on your bread, you hear a loud banging at the door

Autumn picks up her blunderbuss and begins creeping to the door.

“Be careful Autumn!”, says Grady.

“It’s probably a runner…”, mumbles Autumn

[quiet bridge]

=> follow cautiously with weapon

[timber loom]

You follow cautiously with your spear pointed outward toward the door. Wake gasps and hides behind one of the basement crates.

Lucas reaches for the bread knife, and Grady grabs the shotgun.

[quiet bridge]

=> switch back to sister just to feel the regret of banging

[timber loom]

You feel a sudden feeling regret. What if the people inside aren’t your owners?

[quiet bridge]

No

[timber loom]

The door opens, and you see a chosen holding a blunderbuss open the door.

[quiet bridge]

wati

No

I meant regret

[timber loom]

?

[quiet bridge]

=> I mean i regret banging regarding the fact THERE IS A GUN IN FRONT OF ME RN

[timber loom]

“Oh! It’s a little Slugcat with wings!”, says Autumn.

“Wait… what did you say?”, Wake asks in a quiet voice.

[quiet bridge]

=> ok switch back again

[timber loom]

“Here look!”.

[timber loom]

Your sister.

[quiet bridge]

=> MY SISTER!!!!!

[timber loom]

Your heart begins pounding in joy at the sight of her

She looks at you and squeals in joy, running to you.

[quiet bridge]

=> just absolute BEWILDERMENT

=> huggg

[timber loom]

You and your sister hug. The days of separation are over.

You remember the last time you saw her before this… you were exploring chimney canopy when she got caught in some sort of trap.

You couldn’t get her out, and you had to leave her.

You cried for weeks in grief, thinking that there was something you could have done.

But now….

She’s here.

In your arms.

[quiet bridge]

=> man I'm sobbing and crying

[timber loom]

You both squeal and sob in joy. You are finally reunited.

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: REUNITED

“… Pixie…? Is that you?”, Wake asks, beginning to sniffle in joy.

[quiet bridge]

may draw this maybe

[timber loom]

YES PLZ

[quiet bridge]

dm me some images and maybe maybe

[timber loom]

“Pixie!”, they yell, beginning to cry in joy.

Pixie turns to Wake and begins squealing in joy again as she runs to them.

They hug her as tightly as they can, sobbing for the return of their long lost beloved Slugcat.

“I can’t believe it! It’s you! It’s you!”.

They hug her for several more minutes, crying joyfully as their beloved Pixie licks away their tears.

———-

“Wake is finally happy…”, says Autumn, wiping away a tear.

[cosmic zenith]

CAN YOU GUYS PLEASE STOP FORGETING SCUGS ARE INFINITLY SQUISHY???

[timber loom]

Uh ok

[quiet bridge]

????? oh noooooooooo

also like... this scene doesn't really benefit from that, nor does anything really change

What I mean is that doesn't matter

and I don't think it's canon, ig we've already demonstrated it here so it's canon in this interactive

[cosmic zenith]

its canon to me :)

[quiet bridge]

called a headcanon. It's not canon

also it's kinda legit proven otherwise by the fact you can toss around scuggats and they don't deform, they just bonk their heads and die

either way it's not really important :/

[cosmic zenith]

instead of bored up doors maybe electric doors? you couldnt slip under em' or slgupoof doors :D make up something that scugs cant touche :)

[quiet bridge]

...or it could be really tight

too small

of a gap

or maybe scug forgot

[cosmic zenith]

INFINITLY squishy

[quiet bridge]

or maybe it's not important

And you shouldn't try to force your headcanons on this story

[timber loom]

Henlo!

[cosmic zenith]

i mean one and a half already happened

[quiet bridge]

sup

[cosmic zenith]

:DDDD

i gtg to the dentist in 15-20 mins :(((

[timber loom]

OMG SAME

WTH

[cosmic zenith]

the first is the infinite squishtness and the 1.2 is the fact that scugs have AMAZING hearing

[cosmic zenith]

:0

[cosmic zenith]

[cosmic zenith]

what time is it for you rn??

[quiet bridge]

they do???

[timber loom]

Uh 9:18

[quiet bridge]

besides just bc they happened before doesn't mean they need to happen again

[timber loom]

9:20 rn

[cosmic zenith]

12:21

[quiet bridge]

wait ?? Why

u upset you don't live in the same timezone???

[cosmic zenith]

cuz wouldnt it be funny if for some reason we met eachother at the same dentist?

[quiet bridge]

Oh. Ig so

[cosmic zenith]

where did you guys meet? oh just the dentist :)

[timber loom]

E

[timber loom]

Y’know, if u guys wanna do an action you can do it any time, it just might take me some time to answer

[quiet bridge]

what if we dont wanna do an action

=> sit and watch them. man they’re so happy. its so nice

[timber loom]

You watch Wake embrace your sister for several more minutes. It’s just so… heartwarming. You decide to curl up with them both, laying atop of the young chosen, nuzzling their head.

—————-

“Alright… we still have to focus on the serious matter at hand”, says Autumn, wiping away more tears.

“Right…”, says Grady.

“So… how did this all start?”, Lucas asks, wanting to be part of the conversation now.

“In all honesty… I have not figured it out. I do know how this … infection works, however”.

Autumn sighs.

[quiet bridge]

i mean it’s not like there are any iterators down here… who got da cancer

=> tilt head. so how does it work?

[timber loom]

You tilt your head, interested in Autumn’s conversation.

“I think that thing is some sort of parasite or virus that infects a victim. Once they die, that black mass erupts from their bodies and reanimates them… yes… they are undead”.

[quiet bridge]

its cancer foo

[timber loom]

Bro they don’t know

“Oh God… do you how you get infected or not?”, replies Grady.

“Those things try to kill you. If they do, they infect you with their disease, and you become one of them. That’s why there are so many of those things on the streets”.

[quiet bridge]

i know they dont know but i do

[timber loom]

E

“So… are we literally in a horror book right now?”, asks Lucas.

“I suppose so…”.

“I’m sorry you had to see the town go through this…”, says Grady.

“It is what it is… oh… but it gets much worse…”.

“Huh?”.

“Shamblers- what I call them- aren’t the only things that prowl here”.

“What could be worse that those things?”, asks Lucas.

Autumn takes a Polaroid photo out of her vest pocket.

An image of a giant rot-blob can be seen on the street near the market.

[quiet bridge]

long legs

[timber loom]

“I call them long legs. Unlike shamblers, these things can’t see, but respond to vibrations in the air. I’ve shot them a few times, but nothing seems to happen when I do so”.

“What do they do?”.

“They wrap their tendrils around… well, anything, and absorb it. I don’t know what it’s purpose is other than to consume anything that is alive… almost like if it is an evil force…”.

Autumn gets close to them, looks toward Wake and back at her brother and Lucas, and whispers-

“Don’t tell the kid this, but that’s how I saw their family die”.

“My God…”.

“What do we do now? Do we leave?”.

“We could try, but I’ve been planning an operation to destroy this virus once and for all”.

“But we don’t even know what started it!”

“That’s what we are gonna find out”, she says, grabbing her blunderbuss again.

“Oh….”.

[cosmic zenith]

back from the dentist :D we also ran a ton of arands :/

Story idea: at some point the long leg calls all the shamblers to it and absorbs them to become all powerfull

[timber loom]

E

[weary onyx]

=> holy crap is that is morbid, hug wryn or pixie or whatever sibling character we aren't controlling for comfort

[timber loom]

You hug Pixie upon hearing these words. Everything is horrifying.

[weary onyx]

=> ask or do your best to sign on what to do next

[timber loom]

You squeak to Grady, tilting your head to try and mimic this.

“Yeah, I know. I’m scarred too but I’m trying to…”, starts Grady.

[weary onyx]

=> check rain timer

wait, is there rain underground?

[timber loom]

You check the rain timer. The downpour is about to start, but you’re underground.

———-

“So…where do we start?”, asks Grady.

“The sewers”, replies Autumn. “That’s where this supposedly all started.

[weary onyx]

=> listen intently

[timber loom]

“So we’re just gonna go in guns blazin?”

“No, I intend to survey what’s down there, then get the supplies necessary to deal with… whatever’s down there”.

“Shouldn’t we call for help?”, asks Lucas.

“There’s no mail coach alive to send any mail you know”.

“Oh yeah…”.

“Anyway, you should both get ready”, said Autumn, tossing Lucas a lever action pistol.

She then opened a crate with different weapons and gear. Among them were a few more blunderbusses, a pair of pistols, munition belts with different variants of ammunition, and an infantry carbine, most likely a tower guard’s.

[quiet bridge]

=> oooh. maybe grab one

[timber loom]

You squeak, approaching the crates. You have no idea what these are except that they make loud booms and make things explode

—————-

[quiet bridge]

=> like my ENEMIES

[timber loom]

“Here, take these backpacks. They’ve got some supplies and most of the ammo I’ve gathered”, said Autumn.

“And the kid?”, asks Grady.

Autumn smiles. “I think… there’s enough guardians to take care of him”. She gestures to you, your sister, and the lizards.

————-

(You can switch to ANY character in your party)

[weary onyx]

=> switch to pixie

[timber loom]

You look at the Chosen that are about to leave, and then at Wake. They seem very tired.

[quiet bridge]

wait who's in my party

so grady, lucas, and autumn are leaving

[timber loom]

Everyone you know

[quiet bridge]

uhhhh

uh

[weary onyx]

=> become god

jk

[quiet bridge]

for the sake of following the plot => cat time

[timber loom]

You can be any of the three

[quiet bridge]

???

[timber loom]

The three chosen

[quiet bridge]

well i mean yeah

so. im picking cat

[timber loom]

————-

You’re a bit nervous to do this, but you know it’s best you do this for your friends and the town.

You take the pack and look at the 6-shooter magnum that was given to you. It looks like it belonged to a police constable.

“Need anything else, Lucas?”, asks Autumn.

(Remember, I might not respond immediately to your recommendations immediately)

[quiet bridge]

=> nah. i think i'm ready... as i can be.

[timber loom]

“I’m… ready…”, you say nervously.

“Alright. You’ve got food and munitions in your back, if you ever need to reload- which we all might do at some point”, she replies.

[timber loom]

“Wake, stay here and remember to lock the door”, says Autumn. “We’ll… be right back”.

“Okay…”, They reply, holding the slugcats in their arms.

[timber loom]

“Ready?”, she asks you and Grady.

“I guess”, you reply.

[cosmic zenith]

switch to wyrn rq

cough up a bomb and hand it to luca

[timber loom]

————————-
You cough up one of those bombs that the scavengers gave you for those shiny things once. You squeak to Lucas and hand it to him.

“What the?! The slugcat’s been carrying that in his belly?!”, says Autumn.

“Well… it’s definitely gonna be useful”, says Grady.

Lucas hesitantly takes the bomb and places it inside his backpack.

“There’s no time to waste now… let’s get moving”, says Autumn.

[cosmic zenith]

switch to luca

[timber loom]

You sigh as you see Autumn open the door. You prepare for the worst that’s ahead.

[cosmic zenith]

TO THE SEWERS

[timber loom]

You follow Autumn out the door.

[cosmic zenith]

to the sewers

[timber loom]

Once you all have walked outside the basement, Autumn shuts the door. “Be on your guard and be careful”, she says, jumping through the window. You follow her action, and soon you three are on the porch. There are some infected on the street, but they aren’t worth wasting ammunition over.

“Stay low and quiet”, she tells you, crouching now.

“Sewer grate’s right there”, she says, pointing to an open sewer grate.

She crawls inside, using the ladder to climb down. You follow her closely behind.

You are now inside the sewers

[cosmic zenith]

oops i- uh- i mean you... forgot the plan :/

[timber loom]

“Dark in there”, starts Grady.

“I got this, don’t worry”, says Autumn, lighting a lantern. “I’ll be our light. Just don’t lose me, okay?”.

She clears her throat.

“Okay, so who’s going in first?”.

[quiet bridge]

=> not me

[timber loom]

“Uh… Can’t Grady go first?”, asks Autumn.

“Oh! Sure!”, says Grady. Shotgun in hands, he climbs into the darkness bellow.

“Lucas? You ready?,”, asks Autumn.

[quiet bridge]

=> uhh... as ready as I can be, I guess

[timber loom]

“Okay, just remember to stick with us”, she says as you climb in. Darkness surrounds you, but it is soon cleared by Autumn’s lantern.

“Wow… look at all this…”, says Autumn.

The rot covers the walls of the sewers, and all the water has been drained, replaced by the unnatural mass.

[quiet bridge]

=>

[timber loom]

“Alright, stay close”, she says, holstering the blunderbuss and holding the infantry carbine in her hands. “Better weapon”, she states.

“Do you hear that?”, asks Grady.

“What- oh no…”.

You hear what sounds like squishing or something crawling somewhere in the sewer ahead of you.

“Autumn, what’s th-“, starts Grady.

“SHHHH!”.

[quiet bridge]

=> ...oh no. it's the thing.

[timber loom]

Through the darkness, you see it.

The mass.

It crawls in your direction, then stops and makes its way to the left.

[quiet bridge]

=> phew

[timber loom]

“Okay, we’re good. Just don’t make noise when you hear that thing”, says Autumn.

She gestures for you and Grady to follow her, and begins creeping through the tunnels, rifle pointed outward.

Grady also points his shotgun forward as he continues onward.

[quiet bridge]

=> follow em, holding out your own gun

[timber loom]

You hold out your magnum as you follow behind them both.

You continue onward through the sewer, behind a steady Autumn.

She doesn’t seem nervous at all, which reassures you a little.

Eventually, you come across a tunnel.

“We should go through there”, she says, pointing toward it.

She begins to make her way toward it, when it begins rapidly flashing white.

“Wait!”, she snaps, stopping in place.

[timber loom]

Then it appears again.

The mass.

You know if you don’t make a sound it’ll go away, but it is coming in your general direction.

Autumn looks like she’s about to bolt as well. What do you do?

[weary onyx]

=> ask the group if it's alright to attack

[timber loom]

“Should we attack it?”, you whisper.

Without warning, Grady fires a shot.

The mass begins crawling toward you!

What now?

[weary onyx]

=> CHUCKTHEBOMBATITCHUCKTHEBOMBATITCHUCKTHEBOMBATIT

[quiet bridge]

=> YEETETH BOBMA

[timber loom]

You remember the bomb the little Slugcat gave you. Working quickly, you take it out of your backpack, and without thinking, hurl it at the mass.

A loud ringing pierces your ears as you fall to the floor.

Opening your eyes, the mass is gone.

“Lucas! Are you okay?!”, yells Grady, helping you up.

“… yeah… I think I got him”.

“Hey, good job”, adds Autumn.

“Should we go back? Check on the kid?”, asks Grady.

“No… we have to press forward!”, says Autumn.

What should you do?

[quiet bridge]

=> keep going ig, keep gun out and be ready to run

[timber loom]

“I’m sorry Grady, but it might be our last chance to find out what’s in there”, you say.

“Alright…”, he replies.

“Okay, just stay behind me”, says Autumn.

[timber loom]

(Sorry guys for stopping but I was out with my family!)

You follow behind Autumn, Grady lingering just behind you.

All three of you enter the tunnel, and what you see just…

The entire room is covered with the rot. You can feel it under your paws.

“Eww…”, mumbles Grady.

“What is that?”, Autumn suddenly asks.

[cosmic zenith]

switch to scug :)

ok soooooooo you may or may not have snuck into lucas backpack 0-0

pixie and lizors are protecting le childre

if thats ok-

[timber loom]

Yes it is 💜

[cosmic zenith]

i like being scug :)

[timber loom]

You peek outside of the backpack, and… well… the room is covered in that stuff.

You see one of the chosen point to something that’s somewhere on the roof of the room (THEY HAVE NOT NOTICED YOU YET LOL)

What now?

[cosmic zenith]

oops panic attack

[timber loom]

You start squealing loudly- you have been placed face to face with your worst nightmare!

———

“WHAT THE- HOW DID HE-?!”

“I don’t think he’s the most important thing in the room right now…”, starts Grady, looking up at the ceiling.

“Oh… yeah…”.

————

[cosmic zenith]

look up

[timber loom]

You look up. What appears to be a ram-chosen intertwined with the rot is hanging on the roof from the rot’s tendrils, like a spider.

“Ah, a few uncleansed Chosen bellow me I see…”, the Ram suddenly started.

“What?! You can talk?!”, snaps Autumn.

The ram chuckles.

“Oh, we can all speak if the rot wills us to do so…”.

“What do you want from us?! Why did you do this?!”.

[cosmic zenith]

oops internet went out-

[timber loom]

ONO

[cosmic zenith]

what i said was:

[cosmic zenith]

OH SHOOT ITS GONNA BE LIKE THIS

[timber loom]

E

———-

[cosmic zenith]

didnt come though :/

[timber loom]

“Life… as the Iterators know it… is unnecessary. Look around you. EVERY life is the same- die, revive, break the cycle when you ascend… it is all the same for everything…”.

“What is an…”, starts Grady.

“SHHH!”, snaps Autumn again.

[cosmic zenith]

an what?

[timber loom]

Grady was trying to say what is an Iterator

[cosmic zenith]

oh-

SHIOT THE INTERANT

[timber loom]

————-

[timber loom]

Use data if ur on phone

[cosmic zenith]

oh hey ive been to an iterator once- i think-

[timber loom]

E

————

“Why should we contribute to this eternal cycle as we know it if we can unite together? Then we will truly be set free. All you have to do…”.

A mound of rot appears from the ground.

“Is join us”.

[cosmic zenith]

i knew it was gonna be like this once he said his first sentence

[timber loom]

E

———

“Join us uncleansed chosen. Free yourselves. FREE YOURSELVES!!”, yells the ram.

[cosmic zenith]

well we know it wont really kill chosen but what about scugs? im not buying it. wait does he even see me? if he does I WANT TO KNOW

[timber loom]

Nah it does kill them

It’s just a disease

That’s extremely intelligent

[cosmic zenith]

hollow knight moment

[timber loom]

It’s only purpose is to consume everything

———

“Yeah no. I’m not stupid”, says Autumn.

[cosmic zenith]

throw a rock at the ram "im not buying it!" you sqek

[timber loom]

“I mean, I wasn’t listening from the start”, says Grady.

[timber loom]

You do this, and squeak angrily.

“It’s quite funny how everyone who’s visited me has made this oh, SO difficult”, mutters the ram.

Suddenly, it’s body splits open, and a mass of rot crawls out from it.

“YOU WILL JOIN US!!!!!”, she shrieks.

————

BOSSFIGHT

[cosmic zenith]

"good sir, you are quite stupid. you just dont know how to change peoples minds, no one trust you as a start. also you sould LIKE A FRICKING MANIAC"

[timber loom]

(I think there’s more important matters than just yelling at it rn XD)

[cosmic zenith]

WHAT WEAPONS DO I HAVE?

[timber loom]

Uh… spear… the others have better weapons tho

[cosmic zenith]

ROLL FOR PERSWASION

[timber loom]

Ok roll
