Idk

[fluid mauve]

In their situation, death would've probably been more preferable than prolonging the suffering...

[pastel vale]

Isn't that so common these days.

[fluid mauve]

You could say that again...

[pastel vale]

(@fervent rivet are you on?)

[fervent rivet]

Yes

)

The scavenger blinks, looking at the two.
“But.. cycles?”

[pastel vale]

(here is a book on dealing with scavs and guns (actually cats but i dont think they are very different))
https://www.amazon.com/How-Talk-Your-About-Safety/dp/045149492X

[fervent rivet]

(Lol)

[pastel vale]

(theres so manyy random stuff on the internet)

[fervent rivet]

(What mouse means here is that “but what about the cycles? We always come back, right?”

[fluid mauve]

(POV: You're HOM's corrupted shell after grabbing the assistant)

[pastel vale]

(man that was a scary moment ngl)

[fluid mauve]

(Theres gonna be alot of memes surrounding this RP, some are gonna be about how HOM's corrupted shell strangled the assistant.)

[fervent rivet]

Lol)

[pastel vale]

(bru
that was like the darkest moment)

[fervent rivet]

And some about how mouse now has a gun)

[fluid mauve]

(THEY LOOK SO INNOCENT TOO)

[pastel vale]

(they are unaware of the machanism they carry)

[fluid mauve]

("What a fun little gizmo!")

[pastel vale]

(3 minutes later...

"From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me."

)

[fluid mauve]

(This fun stuff)

(A reef feef on the ASSisTANT)

[pastel vale]

(did you just scroll that far up?)

[pastel vale]

(my guy that was a month ago lol(

[fluid mauve]

(And chapter 1)

[fervent rivet]

(Anyway)

[pastel vale]

(Chary has no answer for that)

[fervent rivet]

lol:/

Mouse tried asking something else.
“…cure.. tribe?”

[fluid mauve]

Are you talking about the static...?

[fervent rivet]

(Yes)

Mouse nods.

[fluid mauve]

That tribe is dead, been dead...

But it isn't your tribe...

Not anymore...

Its just fitments...
Things...

[pastel vale]

The Assistant looks over.

[fervent rivet]

The scavenger looks down, somewhat saddened.

[pastel vale]

HOM, while Miro appears to be unconcious how about you explain that static?

[fluid mauve]

Its like a festering disease that stalks someone until they die...

Its makes it so that their bodies become part of this single mass...
That mass I cannot control, but it is part of me...

[pastel vale]

So its basically a virus but with static? That makes no sense, how did it start and how does it spread?

[fluid mauve]

It doesn't spread, it eats...
It festers away at the dead like maggots to a corpse...
It turns them into mere apparations of the psyce...

It becomes part of a hivemind, the body dead, but the soul trapped, alive...

The best part about it is that its my fault...

I made it by accident...

It just spread after she...

...

[fervent rivet]

Mouse tilted her head.
“Like rot?”

[fluid mauve]

Almost, it just eats away at the dead...

It brings them back...

And turns them into husks...

[pastel vale]

So Zombies?

[fluid mauve]

Basically...

[pastel vale]

Charybdis shakes her head
No, Rot is arguably worse.

[pastel vale]

What's the spread of it?
She gets up

[fluid mauve]

It only spreads to dead hosts, not the living...

[pastel vale]

Okay- but how long has this been going for?

[fluid mauve]

...Have you heard any whistling?

[pastel vale]

Yeah. Near where the tower collapsed a year ago.

I've heard it a few other times here and there as well, but it's rare.

[fluid mauve]

When was the firt time you heard it...?

[pastel vale]

A little while before you said you fricked up.

[fluid mauve]

The whistling was coming from patient zero, the scavs that I had killed during that war...

Ive been cursed, in such that everyone I kill turns into these...
Nightmares...

[fervent rivet]

The scavenger finally lifts her head.
“Mouse heard.. whistling sometimes.”

[fluid mauve]

...Explain.

[fervent rivet]

The scav twiddles her fingers.
“Mouse scavenges, looks for tribe. Heard whistling. Ran. Kept looking. Many cycles.. found friends. You.”

[pastel vale]

The Assistant warbles

[fervent rivet]

(Nobody:
Mouse speaking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjhS6bwuxVc&pp=ygUfbmltcyBsb25nZXN0IHJlY29yZGVkIHNlbnRlbmNlIA%3D%3D)

[pastel vale]

Well I'm flattered but how exactly are we going to stop the spread of these static zombies?
If they are anything like what was near the enterence to Navy Pearl then- we have a problem.

[fluid mauve]

We don't, they come back...

We can only buy tme when its offered...

[pastel vale]

What if we cut it off at the source?

[fluid mauve]

I'm the source...

[pastel vale]

Okay so that made things a lot more complex-

What if we removed the static power from you?

[fluid mauve]

Thats impossible, it IS me...

[pastel vale]

Explain.

[fervent rivet]

Mouse raised an eyebrow.

[fluid mauve]

She was the static, and she gave her form so I could live...

We are one...

[pastel vale]

Okay- what if I removed her from you?

[fluid mauve]

(Blud really said:)

[fluid mauve]

DON'T YOU DARE...

[pastel vale]

Chary throws up her hands
Okay but- what would it do to the virus? Think logically here.

[fluid mauve]

IT WOULD REMAIN, REMOVING THE SOURCE IS A DEATH SENTENCE FOR EVERYONE...

[fervent rivet]

Mouse just watches these two argue.

[pastel vale]

Alright, then how else do you think we can stop it? If we can't remove the source then how do we stop the spread?

[fluid mauve]

I... I don't know...
Kurtis was the only one that had contact with her...
She would know what to do...

(@gaunt jetty )

[pastel vale]

Ethics be darned but I could seperate you two and then possibly give her a physcial form.

I saw how- the origional EW and how that worked out and I think that we could abuse that.

I can seperate you two but I can't create a living body.

[fluid mauve]

Improbable, we'd both die and the static would kill the rest of humanity...

I literally cannot live without her, and she cannot live without me...

We are bound...

[pastel vale]

First of all- we are all that is left. There's only one other possible place that others could be alive and they are most likely dead.

[pastel vale]

And you can't be unbound?

[fluid mauve]

No...

[pastel vale]

And if you die- the world goes kaboom.

[fluid mauve]

It doesn't kaboom, it rots away...

Kaboom would be a blessing of an end...

[pastel vale]

Charybdis seems to be getting irritated
Alright then what the hell can we do?

[fluid mauve]

...

After you get done with Miro, we'll head back to Navy pearl and ask Kurt on what she said...

She would know what to do...

[pastel vale]

Alright well-
lightly kicks Miro
He's out cold.

Im going to go do my own thing- let me know if we wakes.
Charybdis heads away and the Assistant follows.

[fervent rivet]

Mouse blinks before going to inspect the food supply.

[fluid mauve]

HOM sits

[pastel vale]

The food supply includes canned everything, including things that shouldn't be canned but were canned anyways.

[fluid mauve]

(HOM rn)

[fervent rivet]

(CANNED PIZZA?!//(

[fluid mauve]

(CANNED BUNGER)

[pastel vale]

(all of that and more)

[fervent rivet]

Mouse has found a can of cheese. She is struggling to open the can.

(Use the gun on it)

[fluid mauve]

(This is the comic relief arc)

[pastel vale]

(oh look a civillian airliner)

[fervent rivet]

I can just imagine that one gif of the kitten attacking and spilling their bowl of milk but instead it’s mouse struggling to open a can of cheese)

[pastel vale]

(HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA)

[fervent rivet]

(Mouse tries to open cheese)

[pastel vale]

(they are so innocent and it is amazing)

The Assistant reappears and notices Mouse's troubles
'Help' '?'

[fervent rivet]

The scavenger notices the Assistant, nodding as she hands them the can of cheese.

[pastel vale]

The Assistant inspects the can and grabs it before hopping up onto the counter of the kitchen and placing it down. They then jump and scramble into a cupboard and snatch a device. They jump back down to the counter and scramble around with opening the can before popping it open and handing it back to Mouse.

[fervent rivet]

Mouse blinks, certainly amazed. She grabs the can, nodding.
“Thank.”

[pastel vale]

'Friend'

The assistant looks at HOM before walking around for a bit and then heading back down the hall.

[fervent rivet]

Mouse: enjoying canned cheese noises

[gaunt jetty]

(When you take a while to woke.)

[pastel vale]

(I can rp)

[gaunt jetty]

(Got invaded by cat here.)

(Extra silly.)

[fervent rivet]

Lol

)

[gaunt jetty]

(She beggin pets.)

[pastel vale]

(I'm tailgating at a football game rn)

[gaunt jetty]

(Tailgating?)

[pastel vale]

(@fluid mauve, you on?)

[pastel vale]

(basically people got sick of the high food prices at football games so they fill up the parking lots nearby and then share food with everybody for hours before the game. There's like DJs, busses, vans filled with random stuff, it's crazy)

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: Waking up again.

...For fuck sake, i passed out again?

[pastel vale]

(I'm waiting on the to hop on and then hopefully we can rp)

[pastel vale]

(Chary is elsewhere, only HOM who's having an existential crisis and Mouse are there)

The assistant appears and notices Miro

Wawa

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: Looks at the Assistant.

...Hello...I wonder why some of you can't speak...

Shivering.

Also, where the hell is my armor? I don't walk around without it for reasons!

[pastel vale]

The Assistant leaves

Charybdis returns
Where HOM- whatever.

[pastel vale]

Well those reasons don't apply here.

Chary sits down.

So explain how you knew to get here and why you came?

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: Middle finger again.

Good thing to know the only thing preventing me from getting sick is being privated from me.

[pastel vale]

Chary returns the favor
Now answer my questions and I'll think about giving you your armor back.

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: ...Well, have your heard about the Valstayan loops?

[pastel vale]

A few times.

[fervent rivet]

Mouse has finished an entire can of cheese. She grabs another random can of bread, grabbing the tool used to open the can.

[pastel vale]

(how do you eat a can of chee?)

[fervent rivet]

(Idk, maybe small chunks of cheese?)

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: Well i can't show you what i mean visually because photos are in armor too.

[pastel vale]

Charybdis sighs

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: But, imagine your civilization taking over the technology of another one and claiming it as if it was their own.

[pastel vale]

Mkay, so you think there was a civilization before us that we stole the tech from?

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: ...I have met a remnant of it! She came somewhat early to our people and blended up for about 25000 years around it.

Though, most of the time it was around here at South...She was only known as Nightcat.

[pastel vale]

Oh that.

Ugh-

So you want to find her?

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: We don't need! She works for Rain now, technically we can...

Wait where the fuck she went?

[pastel vale]

Probably back to the North Islands. I didn't stop her.

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: Looks down.

...Nah...Usually this could mean she's just melt somewhere...Girl is weird.

[pastel vale]

So what's your plan?

And if you think of mentioning SIVEL tech I will personally ensure you see a lot worse than a stab wound and a concussion.

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: Pouts.

Oy, i'm a refugee you know? I'm not a enemy.

Imagine not being able to find help because everyone else thought i was fucking around.

[pastel vale]

We're all refugees and we are all fing around.

Charybdis lays back
Now what...

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: ...Fair, looks like only these slugs seem doing something.

Looks around more...Then see a tiny water pool.

...Oh there...Tap water.

[pastel vale]

(slugs?)

(We are still in Chary's house)

[gaunt jetty]

(I think somewhere at game a pearl just ments slugcats as slugs.)

[pastel vale]

(Hm)

You want some water?
Chary disappears and reappears with a glass
Here.
She hands it to him in the least careful way possible

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: ...I meaned to tap that water in the ground...Its probably Rain asleep.

[pastel vale]

Hm?

The Assistant appears, and slips on the water

[gaunt jetty]

Rain: Slowly starts to blend up.

...Ey...

Yawning.

I was taking a...Nap...Timezones sucks...

Miro: There we go...

Takes glass of water.

If you want what to do, ask for her not me...She's the planet ruler now, so tak your luck.

I trust more on these slugcats than ourselves.

[pastel vale]

Planet Ruler?

The Assistant signs 'Sorry' before heading into the kitchen to see what Mouse is doing

What does that mean?

[gaunt jetty]

Rain: ...I was left to be a queen in the idleness of your people...

Looks away.

Before that i had to hold on all their screaming and gaslighting...Not to mean some bullying.

Sigh.

The crown they gave me though got broken in a rot leakage around Winter Islands.

[pastel vale]

Yikes.

Have you seen any of the Static?

[gaunt jetty]

Rain: ...Well, i heard of it by Arston...

Seems like he got touched by it from HOM.

[fervent rivet]

Mouse is just eating a whole can of bread, don’t mind her.

[gaunt jetty]

(Canned sandwich in splitted up cans.)

[pastel vale]

Well- we might as well try and head back to the North Islands. I need to grab a few things, Assistant- you're on watch.

Charybdis leaves and takes the elevator

The assistant jumps up onto the chair and sits down and watches Miro

[fervent rivet]

(Grab a gun for Mouse)//hj

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: ...Huh...

Rain: ...Shh...Its fine...At least she just left...

Tries to take off ropes.

Miro: ...You got some weird people to be wary of...

Rain: ...I don't really mind of it...I should just make sure the people isn't trying to take advantage of each other, or hurting even.

Miro: Coughing.

Ah fuck...Here we go, lung issues...I hate that.

[pastel vale]

The Assistant lets out an irritated WA.

The Elevator dings and Charybdis returns, now lugging a shotgun, a revolver, lots of ammo, armor, and Miro's armor

Rain- can you please not cut the ropes yet?

She drops the armor at the floor and returns the chair to its original position.

[gaunt jetty]

Rain: ...He's starting to lose his breathing..

[pastel vale]

Aw fine.

Charybdis cuts the ropes and throws Miro his armor

[fervent rivet]

Mouse looks at the shotgun.

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: Coughing.

Fuck...

He puts back the mask and chest first.

...I never left...This stuff since that flood...Fucking hell i breathed nearby Void Fluid for 3 years..

[pastel vale]

Yikes.

[pastel vale]

Nuh-uh, I'll teach you later.

[fervent rivet]

The scavenger nods.
“Alright.”

[pastel vale]

Charybdis grabs her cloak and mask and puts them on.
Now we just need to find HOM.

Unless you can teleport us without him-

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: ...At least...I can show you something now...

Picks up a glove.

...I can't but i know spots we can use for such...Thanks for Spirit Weaver to control the Moon Colony.

[pastel vale]

Charybdis crosses her arms.

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: ...I intercepted what some people never saw here...

You probably have heard of the First Slugcat...

I got some of what Kurtis has seen when he was sent to the Void Sea..

Rain: Immediatelly backs off.

[pastel vale]

(brb(

[pastel vale]

Yeah, the void sea is funky. And I'd like to just mention this- slugcats are the descendants of a purposed species.

I saw one of their ancestors once actually- a lot dumber and a lot different from what we have today.
The Assistant tries not to seem offended

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: ...Hell yea...Pipe claners...Now...Here is the irony...The first slugcat is not a slugcat.

[pastel vale]

That's evolution for you. Can you get to the point?

[fervent rivet]

Mouse doesn’t seem to like the picture of the void sea.
“..freaky.”

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: ...They're something that sprouted from this creature fluid.

He's just a manifestation of devoided space and time...

He was not supposed to be here, yet Trinity crafted a conscience out of it.

Captured half of both of civilizations, and now is a thing of its own.

[pastel vale]

(are discord servers down?

[gaunt jetty]

(Maybe internet issues there.)

[pastel vale]

(no I'm on data))

(DUDE THEY JUST FLEW HELICOPTERS OVERHEAD)

(I would send pics but data is too slow)

[pastel vale]

So what does that have to do with our current situation?

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: ...This is the actual Void Worm...

Out of the warped distorcion from the Void Fluid.

Nightcat describes it as a Space Overlord...

Kurtis and this are not so different in most of each other aspects...

But Kurtis is a natural occurrence, even for that.

...They will contest for dominance, directly or not.

[pastel vale]

(my view rn)

(oh it finally sent lol)

[gaunt jetty]

(Oh! Lottery.)

[pastel vale]

I've heard of the worm- its like a demon or something.

So what?

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: ...We have to help him...That guy has something on him that unifies the people.

Once this worm is out...Whatever happens, we won't have further issues with anything else here.

We're seeing gods fighting...One being newborn...Other is just a imitation...That will be fun.

[pastel vale]

...so you want to find and try to meet the worm?

[gaunt jetty]

Rain: ...He and Dragon Slayer have been planning this...

Might be happening soon.

[pastel vale]

Charybdis sighs
Guess I need to pay them a visit.

[fervent rivet]

Mouse looked up.
“So there’s giant worm?”

[pastel vale]

Yep.

The Assistant goes up to Mouse and starts pointing at things

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: ...That's what lies beyond the Rubicon...

Thinking.

...Maybe they gonna take out Final Frontier first, considering they might go be a issue...

He's trying to...Well, restoring the actual design of a pest that affected Valstayans...

Actual Dragons.

[pastel vale]

Every time I think this world can't get crazier it just does.

[pastel vale]

(probably won't be available for a while, data is dying and I am having trouble seeing and sending messages)

[fervent rivet]

(Oof)

[fluid mauve]

(UWAAAAA)

[gaunt jetty]

(Wao.)

[pastel vale]

(The prophecy has come true
Everybody is online)

(like last year and over the summer)

[gaunt jetty]

(Didn't use a lot of social media back then.)

[pastel vale]

(sameish
I only really started using my discord in like spring but yeah

Arguably a really good decision, I've made a ton of good friends here.)

[gaunt jetty]

(Me when i turned 18, not sure why, just barged in.)

[pastel vale]

(MARK)

[gaunt jetty]

(Plier.)

[fluid mauve]

Well its getting crazy for a reason...

[pastel vale]

Oh- you're back.

[fluid mauve]

Sort of...

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: Oh guy went out of the chair...By the way, about Sliver Of Straw..

[pastel vale]

The spreader of misinformation?

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: ...More like delusional...Frontier knew her plans...And the reason her broadcast was interrupted...

Downpour district was raided by them...Started by her tower, then it spreaded to other zones.

She started the rot calamity...Then Final Frontier got the information for himself and used the raid as a distraction from it.

[pastel vale]

Hm.

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: ...He found out it could be a way to sabotage the others...So it has put the information back there...

Swapping the information to make the other Iterators think this would work...

At least to the most despairful ones, it did caught their eyes.

But he also got it to make a breed of his own as coverage...Which you might meet soon.

[pastel vale]

So basically- another bad guy to condend with.

How about we face one crisis at a time?

HOM, can you return us to Navy Pearl?

[fluid mauve]

Sure...

Your vission goes white...

You're back at Navy Pearl...

[pastel vale]

Alright- now we need to find Kurtis.

[gaunt jetty]

There is a red lizard approaching you all.

Miro: ...Huh...Weird...Hold up wait...Stay back from it.

[pastel vale]

Charybdis pulls out her revolver.
Sure buddy.

[gaunt jetty]

The red lizard starts twitching and distorcing like crazy...Quickly, parts of it randomly blow up and start to pop out black blobs of flesh, getting bigger.

Miro: ...Get outta here! Don't shoot this one!

He starts running away.

Rain: W-wuh-

She slides away.

[pastel vale]

Charybdis fires at it twice, casuing parts of it to explode.
The Assistant nopes and runs away

[fluid mauve]

HOM commands the ststic to remove it, and it does.

[pastel vale]

(Charybdis rn:)

[gaunt jetty]

It got ignited and exploded upon getting shot, releasing a cloud of radiation and spitting acid on Charybdis.

[pastel vale]

FU-

[fluid mauve]

HOM evaporates all traces of the acid, rads, and remains of the lizard

I'm not dealing with home intruders...

[pastel vale]

Oh- thank you.

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: ...I told you to not!

Gets back.

I know these breeds...And you better not mess up with that.

Rain: ...Jeez..

[fluid mauve]

How the hell did it get in here...?

[pastel vale]

I've fought plenty of lizards- but that one was different.

(I gtg for like 30-40 mins)

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: ...It wasn't a lizard...It is the rot.

[fervent rivet]

Mouse is just shocked. “lizards terrible. They attack toll all the time.”

[pastel vale]

(ALRIGHT IM BACK)

(trhat took way to long to do)

[pastel vale]

Except- that isn't how the rot acts.

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: ...Have you heard of Assimilation?

[pastel vale]

Not with the context of rot.

[fervent rivet]

Mouse blinks, looking at what used to be the red lizard/rot.

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: ...This is what he did with what he learned...And it also is sentient.

[pastel vale]

Yikes.

[fluid mauve]

HOM pats mouse's back
Its gone now...

[pastel vale]

I knew of the rot gaining some weird form of cursed sentience but like a real, living creature?

The Assistant returns

(@jolly goblet , do you have like a scug oc or something that might fit here?)

[jolly goblet]

(A lot. But I still thinking which one)

(I might use one of my scug. The Carer)

[fluid mauve]

(Were in a scug shelter rn)

[pastel vale]

HOM, is there any chance that Navy Pearl may have been comprimised?

[jolly goblet]

(k)

[fluid mauve]

No, the static favors this place...

[pastel vale]

Then explain how some Rot got in?

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: ...We wouldn't know...These creatures shapeshift to the environment they get in.

[pastel vale]

Excuse me but here- the Rot doesn't exactly shapeshift. Only blue here.

[fluid mauve]

Things can get in, but the second they pose a threat to me or my pups, its delt with almost immediately...

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: ...At least the ones you know of.

Sigh.

...One of the plans of him is to use it to take over control of everything...

With them defigurating themselves to look alike a creature...He might use the Dragons as a sample for imitation.

[pastel vale]

Yikes.

Let's go check on Kurtis and Saint- yea?

[jolly goblet]

A cream colour flash appear in the entrance of the shelter

[fluid mauve]

Hm...?
Seems we have another refugee...

[gaunt jetty]

Rain: Seems a bit nervous.

...I wonder what horrors we still see...For bad reasons...What is that?

[jolly goblet]

the flash appear again then a few moments, a cream colour slugcat jump out the entrance. The cream slugcat was wearing a reddish brown scarf with a symbol on it, it looks like a iterator symbol

[pastel vale]

Whoa-

The Assistant goes up to the slugcat

[fluid mauve]

Nice to see new faces here...

[pastel vale]

I'm going to move on and go see Kurtis.

[gaunt jetty]

Rain: Sighs in relief.

...Finally something normal...Hi...I'll go too.

[jolly goblet]

The slugcat step back a bit

[pastel vale]

Charybdis moves towards HOM's house

[pastel vale]

Assistant: Hi! Are you new?

[jolly goblet]

(Assistant can talk or this is just the slug language?)

[pastel vale]

(scug language)

(Assistant can talk in scug language and some low quality Scav Hand signs)

[gaunt jetty]

They're still there...Both asleep on each other side.

Rain: Smiling a bit.

Aww..

[fervent rivet]

Mouse waves.
“Hello, slug.”

[jolly goblet]

???:Oh hello, um yes?

[jolly goblet]

waves back nicely

[pastel vale]

Assistant: This place is great but- its really scary too.

Chary and Rain leave and head to HOM's house

[jolly goblet]

???: oh, why is that?

[fluid mauve]

(NAVY PEARL IS HOM'S HOUSE)

[pastel vale]

Assistant: There's been some really scary creatures- one of them attacked me!

[pastel vale]

(no like the house)

[gaunt jetty]

(House in the house.)

[fluid mauve]

(We're inside navy pearl already)

[jolly goblet]

(Question. Is chary a iterator? Because as far I know is HOM is a ancient, right?)

[gaunt jetty]

(Iterator body, mind of Ancient.)

[pastel vale]

(my interpretation of Navy Pearl is that it is like a pocket dimension that appears wherever it wants to and basically-
NP is like a garden sorta and then there is like a basic farmhouse there)

[jolly goblet]

???: Might I ask your name?

[fluid mauve]

(Thats correct, so there is no IN nor OUT to NP so you cannot get IN without very specific conditions)

[pastel vale]

Assistant: Oh, I'm Simon!
(The Assistant has an actual name but never was able to communicate it)

(yes i just pulled rooty out 5 secs ago)

[fluid mauve]

(Simon)

[pastel vale]

(snaps fingers)

[jolly goblet]

???: Oh giggle My name is Navie but you can call me Carer if you want

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: ...Huh.

Seems to be listening the slugs speech.

Rain: Approaches Saint and Kurtis.

...Oh wait, they're...

She gets closer of Kurtis, a bit worried.

...Jeez..

[pastel vale]

Assistant: So what brings you here?

Yeah- just getting here was traumatic enough.

[fluid mauve]

What is going on...?

[pastel vale]

Chary approaches Sait

[jolly goblet]

Carer: Well I thought it was about to rain but now realising that the rain is not coming down

[gaunt jetty]

Saint & Kurtis: Snoring.

Rain: ...He's hurt...I don't like when this happens...

She pets Kurtis forehead.

He always get like this when he's determined to make the hard way..

[pastel vale]

Assistant: Yeah- Rain is weird!

Whelp. Guess we wait for these snoozeheads to wake up.

[fluid mauve]

He's quite the strong spirit...

[jolly goblet]

Carer: do you know where the rain came from? Mind if I ask

[gaunt jetty]

A golden halo appears on each of them when they're together.

[pastel vale]

Assistant: Rumor has it- an Iterator caused it! They released a lot of water vapor due to [technical term]! But that's all gone now for the most part. Supposedly- Rain used to be able to kill!

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis halo seem a bit faded out though.

Rain: ...He exaggerates a bit on it sometimes...But i agree.

[pastel vale]

Hm.

So what's your relationship with Kurtis?

[gaunt jetty]

Rain: Giggling.

...I'm married with the guy...He's pretty shy when he's a casual situation.

[pastel vale]

Really?
Huh- never really thought of you as a type to really marry. What's it like?

[jolly goblet]

Carer: you are right! The rain is cause by the iterators we call it Heavy rain. The more iterator the more rain, well heavy rain still exist but it mostly stay around the still functional iterators. Doesn't spread out more (Carer is a iterator nerd and you can tell)

[fluid mauve]

I almost forgot he told us about that...
snicker

[pastel vale]

Charybdis looks at HOM, then back at Rain.

She takes off her mask

[fervent rivet]

Mouse looks at Carer.
“Rain is scary.”

[fluid mauve]

(THE MICHAL RAVE)

[jolly goblet]

(Mmmmmmmmm)

[pastel vale]

Assistant: Mouse agrees.

[jolly goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/microwave-jumpscare-gif-22703598

[fervent rivet]

(MY FOOD IS READY)

[pastel vale]

(My food just finished)

[gaunt jetty]

Rain: Seems confused, but decides to not question it, shaking her read.

Ummm...

Well...We do divide our experiences, no matter how distanced we get from each other sometimes...

Smiling.

He had a lot of trust issues back then after being abandoned...I guess i helped him with that...

I...Kinda felt pity about him...

She seems thoughtful.

Then i got to like how does he distanced from all the foolishness from you Ancients...

Looks away.

He really listened to me, rather than being judgmental or rude..

[pastel vale]

Chary looks down in sadness
I was thinking about-

[jolly goblet]

Carer: Well...heavy rain is scary but you don't need to fear it, you just need hope and bravery

[pastel vale]

Assistant: The essentials to a good meal!

[jolly goblet]

Carer: Hm?

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: ...Pfft, these two are silly..

Rain: Looks back to Charybdis.

[pastel vale]

Assistant: Sorry, I haven't eaten in a while.

The Assistant turns back to Mouse
'Food' 'Have' '?'

[gaunt jetty]

(Microsoftwave noises.)

[fluid mauve]

Food is in the kitchen...

[pastel vale]

The Assistant sprints away

[fervent rivet]

Mouse nods, listening as the Assistant left.

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: ...Hmmm...I gonna dismiss it.

Looks around.

Weird place..

Rain: Hold a hand of Charybdis.

...Go on...Say it.

[pastel vale]

No.
Charybdis pulls her hand away
That was a long time ago. I shouldn't dwell on it.

The assisant runs by and into the kitchen

[gaunt jetty]

Rain: ...Ey...Don't worry about it...You can talk...

Looks away.

I also had my thoughts too...When Kurtis was gone of here for like...An entire century.

[pastel vale]

But I won't ever see him again- there isn't any point.

[fervent rivet]

Mouse pats Chary’s shoulder.
“Maybe one day, Machine. Maybe you will.”

[gaunt jetty]

(I just noticed UNT gone.)

[jolly goblet]

Carer stand as she wounder her mind "What a nice slug, I never met a slug this far out of a retaining wall, nor a lone scavenger out here. I wonder what adventure did they have... I would how mom is..." She said in her thoughts

[pastel vale]

(crap i forgor)

(Let's just say he left for some reason idk)

[jolly goblet]

Carer began slowly walk towards the kitchen

[pastel vale]

The Assistant is just knawing on a loaf of bread

[gaunt jetty]

Miro: ...Okay i gonna check these guys...

Goes where the slugcats went.

Rain: ...So is this what you're going to turn that person? A ghost sombering you?

She tries to hold Charybdis hand again.

...If it was important for you...Why you don't want to speak about it?

[pastel vale]

It's not a ghost- I don't want to speak about it because there is no point to it. It won't change anything. It's too far in the past.

Charybdis lets out a long, shudduring sigh, before putting her mask on.
Let's wake these two up.

[jolly goblet]

Carer walk in the kitchen and with in frist sight seeing Assistant eating a entire loaf of bread "Can slugcats eat bread?" Confusingly said in her thoughts

[gaunt jetty]

Rain: ...Okay then...

Looks worried about it, yet it let it be...Then seems to poke Saint.

Saint: Opens its eyes a bit almost instantly.

...U-uh?

Looks up.

...H...Mom?

[pastel vale]

We need help. With a few things.

[gaunt jetty]

Rain: Smiling worringly.

...Hey...

Saint: Yawning...Then looks at Kurtis.

...I can't believe he really made me asleep like this...Has been a while...

Stretching, then gets up.

...What's going on?

[pastel vale]

We need Kurtis to communicate with Buddy.

[gaunt jetty]

Rain: Looks at him.

...I'm not sure if he's going to wake up now...

He use to have a deep sleep when he's on it.

Saint: Looks at Charybdis.

...Why again?

[pastel vale]

We need him to communicate with Buddy so we can figure out how to stop the spread of this weird- static virus.

[fluid mauve]

She had to have told him something...
Anything...

[gaunt jetty]

Saint: ...We still gonna have to wait a bit.

Looks at him.

I don't know how he circunvented his own death...

That moment he knocked out he bled out.

[pastel vale]

(i gtg)

[pastel vale]

So wait- he died?

[jolly goblet]

(Same here. Is the dead of night for me. Aka midnight)

[gaunt jetty]

Rain: Shivering.

...What the?! He...

Confused mumbling.

Saint: ...He's unnafected by anything from here related with the cycle...

As a shattering in the system...

Yet...No...He didn't die...More like...Clinged his own spirit to someone else he had connection...

I am not sure what would have happened if nobody was close of him in that moment.

[pastel vale]

(If possible we could rp a bit early tomorrow morning, I would be available then)

[jolly goblet]

(If I can turn up, or I just collapse in bed like a iterator)

[fluid mauve]

[gaunt jetty]

(In context.)

[pastel vale]

(I'm on(

[fervent rivet]

(So am I)

[gaunt jetty]

(You know the rules, and so do i.)

[fluid mauve]

(A full commitment's what I'm thinking of)

[gaunt jetty]

(Fun when Discord ghost reacts.)

[pastel vale]

)yeah)

(waiting for shrimshaw to come on)

[fluid mauve]

(Back again)

(34 min shower)

[pastel vale]

(I'm freezing to death on a sidewalk)

(arpee?)

[fluid mauve]

(Oui oui)

[pastel vale]

Wait hold on- he willed himself from death?

[fluid mauve]

He believed so hard that his faith killed him I guess...

[gaunt jetty]

Dreamchaser: Pops up.

...He isn't dead, yet.

[pastel vale]

(Wait who's dreamchaser again?)

[gaunt jetty]

(Golden Slugcat with flesh cape and weird scythe.)

[pastel vale]

(ah)
(Death.)

[fluid mauve]

How did you get in here...?

[fervent rivet]

Mouse blinks.
“So many slug…”

[fluid mauve]

You'll get used to it...

[gaunt jetty]

Dreamchaser: ...No matter where my friends is...I can get to them.

Looks around.

...I was also made from the Void Fluid, just as him.

[pastel vale]

Where's UNT?
The Assistant comes out at the mention of his former friend

[fluid mauve]

(Former?)

[pastel vale]

(The assistant doesn't know that UNT got revived)

[fluid mauve]

(Former means "used to be")

[pastel vale]

(yeah

UNT is dead)

[gaunt jetty]

Dreamchaser: ...I don't think he is between us anymore.

I cannot get to the dead...Instead, i can become as them.

[fluid mauve]

(In this sentence it means, "used to be friend", like they stopped being friends at some point.)

[pastel vale]

(ah)

[pastel vale]

Whoa. Fun twist.

[fluid mauve]

Sounds... disturbing...

[gaunt jetty]

Saint: ...So...That means...

Looks at Charybdis.

I told you, that wasn't him.

[pastel vale]

Then who is it??

[fluid mauve]

Can anyone here run an identity check...?

[gaunt jetty]

Dreamchaser: ...Whoever you brought, just might have belonged to him...He had data that was part of his original mindset.

...But is not essentially bevahing as him.

[pastel vale]

So basically- we just gave a completely new person the memories of a dead person?

[fluid mauve]

Most likely...

[pastel vale]

What?

[gaunt jetty]

Dreamchaser: Shapeshift as UNT.

...I use to do that, to understand their mindset...

So i cam grasp an idea of what they confronted in life.

(Become who was.)

[pastel vale]

Whoa.

[gaunt jetty]

(She.)

(But yes, from start until end.)

[fervent rivet]

The scav stepped back.

“Magic..”

[gaunt jetty]

(All it needs is to meet the person in physical.)

[pastel vale]

(UNT is like a bowl of ramen)

So Uh- how specifically does this work?

[fervent rivet]

(I gtg to school)

[pastel vale]

(mk)

[fluid mauve]

(Aw)

[pastel vale]

(I might have trouble responding

Bad data + some madness)

(there's a huge pileup near my school that involves some school busses)

[gaunt jetty]

Dreamchaser: ...About Kurtis...

Looks at him.

...We, actually...Are manifestations of will.

I assume that since his mindset is up for setting the people where they belong to...

When it comes to be about him, i guess is up to whoever is around...Long as he recognizes it as a friend.

As if the people he is connected to decides whether he still lives or not.

[fluid mauve]

Hm...

[pastel vale]

Charybdis tilts her head slightly
Interesting.

(aaagffhhhh messages not sending)

(OH NOW IT SENDS)

(I sent like half of that right before Skrimshaw sent his)

[fluid mauve]

[pastel vale]

[gaunt jetty]

Dreamchaser: Abandoning him would be abandoning our causes...

He is here in service of the others after all, the right path for each of us...If there is no one around deeming it as worth saving...

Guess he would just dull like stone...Just as what happens to the Void Sea when it is extracted the wrong way.

[pastel vale]

Yikes. But how does this exactly tie into receiving him? I don't exactly have a PHD in Void Sea gods.

[gaunt jetty]

Dreamchaser: ...We will only know when he's fully awake i guess...Just look as his faded halo...Its something that still needs to be filled with.

Rain: Smiling a bit.

...I guess it explains why he's always clingy..

[pastel vale]

(I gtg)

(a lot more complications in my day)

[fluid mauve]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but can you access his memories...?

[gaunt jetty]

Dreamchaser: ...We cannot affect each other, being from the same origin...

Even if he died...He's something that cannot be predicted...But not like we need it to...

The own people surrounding him explains himself...

He has put himself in danger in many ways...

Clearly, he's not concerned of it when he convinces himself he can help someone...

And it don't matter who you are, long as you receive him...He never attacks out of hate, or reflex.

Rain: ...I found him very strange when we first met...

He didn't show much likeniness to the Ancients, yet only raised his hand when he did not have options...

Their wishes was out of touch, escaping from what they became...

I guess he noticed he could not help them about it and left to their own premises...Even me.

But it was my fault...I had to learn what he was foreseeing by staying...

Looks up.

...When they started to praise Random Gods...I realized it was a mistake...

They wanted soo hard to ignore the truth that they kept making excuses to look away from the reality they made up...

Ascension was only a metaphor to cover up...Like many other things.

Fear of what they could not make up, excuse, or explain..

[fluid mauve]

I guess thats what led to the downfall of my kind...

A religious overbearing...

[gaunt jetty]

Saint: ...And they became missing pieces of this world.

...These echoes...Are the ones who not necessarily failed the process...

But them...Things that even the Void Worm did not want here to pest it...

And i was thinking i was doing the right thing by making the others reach it being used to their practices...

I almost joined them...Until i opened my eyes...

While...I am not the same Harat i used to be...

I was stuck in my last journey, nearly mindless...Until being wake up again.

[pastel vale]

(baxk)

[gaunt jetty]

(Bark.)

[pastel vale]

Charybdis seems impatient
Okay- but what about waking Kurtis up? What does this have to do with that? I'm not too interested in listening to how my kind was stupid.

[fluid mauve]

She had to have told him something, anything...

[pastel vale]

Wait- what's stopping you from becoming Kurtis?

[gaunt jetty]

Dreamchaser: Even if i could...I can just become who is dead.

She looks at him.

Kurtis moved a bit.

And he's going to wake up.

Kurtis: Grunting...Slowly waking up.

...Ugh..

[fluid mauve]

Kurt...
Do you remember what Buddy told you...?

[pastel vale]

Welcome to the world of consciousness.

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: He gets up.

...Ummm...Hey...So...Part of her, still lives on you...

She wants you to...Destroy something in the center of this planet, in the Void Sea...

Which will fix most of the issues here...

And unify both of you again.

[pastel vale]

Charybdis takes in a sharp breath

[fluid mauve]

...Thats a risk I'm willing to take.

If it means I'll see her again, than I don't care what happens to me...

[pastel vale]

So we need to go to the void sea?

That's going to be easy.

[gaunt jetty]

Dreamchaser: ...This is actually the most dangerous place of this world...

Because we're going deeper...To Valstaya.

[pastel vale]

Actually before we jump to conclusions- I may already have a plan for visiting the Void Worm.

[fluid mauve]

THE EARTH RUMBLES AS PARTS OF THE OUTSIDE WORLD HAVE BEEN DISPLACED

[pastel vale]

The Assistant runs between Charybdis

We need to head back to my house!

[fluid mauve]

THE DEPTHS HAVE BEEN CLOSED, THE VENTILATION SYSTEM IS MORE CLAUSTROPHOBIC, THE VULTURES ARE NOW HYBERNATING

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: ...We don't have much time left before we have to go there.

Dreamchaser: ...We still gotta deal with Final Frontier though...

He has something important.

[pastel vale]

HOM, can you teleport all of us back?

[pastel vale]

One crisis at a time, Dreamchaser we might need you.

[gaunt jetty]

Saint: Shivering.

...I can hear they again dad..

Kurtis: Leaves the bed.

...Ignore it...They just speak gibberish.

Rain: Sighs...Then her face gets serious.

...Okay...We're getting into the red zone soon...No time to cower down.

Dreamchaser: ...Sure...By the way...I can get contact from outside if needed.

[pastel vale]

Alright.

HOM?

[fluid mauve]

Where to again...?

THE SKY CRACKS, THE RAIN IS COMING

[pastel vale]

Back to my home!

[fluid mauve]

3 CYCLES LEFT BEFORE THE DOWNPOUR

[gaunt jetty]

(Dishes.)

[pastel vale]

(a)

[fluid mauve]

Understood...
Your vission goes white...
You're back home... but something is wrong...

[pastel vale]

Uh-

(what's wrong?)

[fluid mauve]

(Its cold, and the buildings look brittle)

[pastel vale]

What happened?!

Charybdis gets up
HOM, where are we?

[fluid mauve]

Your home...

[pastel vale]

You turned a desert into the arctic??

She quickly heads into her house

[fluid mauve]

This is what She warned me about, the void would reach the surface after 3 cycles...

[pastel vale]

She quickly grabs some bags and begins packing things up

The Assistant heads inside and begins dumping supplies into a duffle bag

[gaunt jetty]

Saint: ...The frozen hell before the one that melts everyone away...

Rain: ...Everyone is geared for what will come soon...

Hopefully Dragon Slayer training will help them.

[fluid mauve]

3 cycles before the rain would crack the surface of the Earth in one spot where the void would boiler over and consume what's left of everything...

[pastel vale]

Alrighty, this means I have to move things up a bit.

She dumps several duffles outside and sprints to another building as the Assistant hits the elevator and goes down

[fervent rivet]

Mouse looked at Hom.
“We won’t come back when void comes?”

[fluid mauve]

The void consumes all, no rebirth after the void...

[pastel vale]

An engine nearby can be heard roaring

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: ...Not this time...It knows i am here...

This time it will destroy everyone.

[pastel vale]

The rustiest buggy you have ever seen suddenly drives up with Charybdis at the wheel
Alright so listen up- If we need to go beat up the void worm I already have a plan for it- but we can't teleport to the location where we do it.

The Assistant appears with weapons and supplies and helps load the duffles in the back of the buggy

We're going to have to do a lot the old fashioned way.

[fluid mauve]

Our only way into the void is gone, its been caved in by the rumbling....
THE WORLD RUMBLES AS THE COLD STARTS TO BITE
That...

[fervent rivet]

The scavenger starts to freak out.
“What can we do?”

[pastel vale]

Get into the buggy.

[fluid mauve]

Theres nothing we can do but wait...

[gaunt jetty]

Rain starts emittting a white aura around her that neutralizes the climate around a certain distance.

Rain: ...Get closer of me you all...We're going...We can't wait anymore.

[pastel vale]

I need to do something stupid- if I don't come out in 5 minutes then get in the buggy and head north.

Charybdis hops out and heads to the saloon

[fluid mauve]

THE WORLD HATES EVERYONE, ALL NEUTRAL CREATURES ARE NOW HOSTILE, AND THE FOOD CHAIN HAS PUT THE GROUP AT THE BOTTOM

[pastel vale]

The Assistant manages to shove the last of the equipment into the buggy and hide next to the gear shifter.

[fervent rivet]

The scavenger runs over to the Assistant, staying nearby.
“This is freaky..”

[pastel vale]

The lights inside Chary's house turn off

Charybdis reappears, shaken and almost slightly burn but still sprinting.

She hops into the buggy
Alr-alright let's go.

[fervent rivet]

Mouse starts climbing in.

[fluid mauve]

THE BATFLYS ARE LEAVING

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis, Rain, Saint, Dreamchaser: They all hop in.

[pastel vale]

The Buggy begins heading North at a startling pace
HOM, how long do we have?

[fervent rivet]

(Would Mouse count as a “neutral” creature?)

[fluid mauve]

(Yea)

[gaunt jetty]

(-500 Reputation moment.)

[fervent rivet]

Mouse holds her head, scratching it a little.

[fluid mauve]

Mere hours before the great winter consumes this part of the world...

[fluid mauve]

HOM instantly notices this and begins to swaddle Mouse

Sshh sh sh sh...
Its okay...

We need you to fight it...

[pastel vale]

(it's time jump time?)

We're headed to a facility way up north, its the best place to meet the worm.

[fluid mauve]

That was is going to be closed off so-
THE RUMBLING CONTINUES AS THE FACILITY BEGINS TO COLLAPSE.

Full throtle...

[pastel vale]

(wait what?)

(we're outside)

[fervent rivet]

Mouse seems to be struggling more, looking around.

[pastel vale]

(we are in a desert?)

[fluid mauve]

(Yea)

[fervent rivet]

(Alright I gtg for a while in a few minutes, history class doesn’t allow phones)

[pastel vale]

(K)
(Same with my geometry class)

[gaunt jetty]

Dreamchaser: ...Frozen Heart will still work its made for operate in such extremes...

Ugh...Fucking hell...

Rain: Umm...Now that i noticed, Miro is gone...

Dreamchaser: ...He just does that...He's weird.

[pastel vale]

After a few hours of driving you reach a large mountain pass. A blizzard sets in as the frozen hulks of heavy machinery make themselves apparent. Eventually the buggy stops in front of what appears to be a cargo elevator with a small light.

We're here.

Charybdis hops out and grabs two large duffles and equips several weird technical knives, a miniature railgun, and some other stuff

( I gtg)

[fluid mauve]

THE COLD HAS CONSUMED THE DESERT, THE FACILITY IS STARTING TO GET IN A WORSE STATE

[gaunt jetty]

Rain: ...Can't use most of that stuff...

She just picks up grenades.

Kurtis: Checks for more ammunition, then picks it...He also picks up some materials to make projectiles.

...I already have my stuff, but shouldn't dismiss more bullets.

Saint: ...Umm...I guess is time for a change of heart eh...

He shrugs, grabbing anything ressembling a revolver.

...This is going to be weird...

Dreamchaser: ...I'm not much up to guns...

She also picks up grenades...And some random rubbish.

I already have my scythe for fighting.

[pastel vale]

(back)

Alrighty. We ready to go?

Charybdis heads into the elevator and a shivering Assistant follows

[fluid mauve]

Mhm...

THE RUMBLING HAPPEND AGAIN

[gaunt jetty]

Dreamchaser: Phone ringing.

...Huh...Lets go...

Picks up the call.

Kurtis, Rain, Saint: They all nod in syncrony.

[pastel vale]

A phone? How-

[fervent rivet]

Mouse is still near them, twitching her eye.

(She’s about to lose it)

[gaunt jetty]

Dreamchaser: ...Got it in Valstaya...

Then i got Nightcat to design this for me...

Sup Spirit Weaver...Yeah, we're getting ready...

Tilts head.

...Darn...Did they really go there?...

...Okay.

Rain: She gets closer to Mouse, hugging her to calm down.

Hey...Its okay...I know its scary..

[pastel vale]

Let's head into the elevator. It'll be safer here.

[fervent rivet]

The scavenger walks into the elevator.
“Can we.. stop the worm?”

[pastel vale]

I hope.

[gaunt jetty]

Dreamchaser: ...Dragon Slayer and Warden are taking care of Final Frontier on their own...These dudes are crazy...

Kurtis: ...Well...That's Sunny for you...

He looks at all of you...Then nods in agreement.

We will...I know we can.

[pastel vale]

The assistant comes up to Mouse
'Safe' 'Here'

The ground rumbles again.
Guys- hurry!

[fervent rivet]

Mouse is already in the elevator, still mildly stressed out.

[pastel vale]

(Milton get in the frickin elevator)

[fluid mauve]

THE LOWER FLOORS ARE CAVING IN

[pastel vale]

(lower floors??? We aren't in a building? We're at an enterance outside???)

(I'm very confused)

[gaunt jetty]

(That's what happens when it is rushed.)

[pastel vale]

(We went to Chary's house and then drove to some mountains and are going to enter an indestructible facility)

[fluid mauve]

(Floors below the elevator)

[pastel vale]

(OOOOOOOOOOOH)

Charybdis holds her hand over the buttons

[gaunt jetty]

Dreamchaser: ...You know...

Walks forward.

Its crazy how things got...

Maybe i'm not really dreaming after all..

Kurtis, Rain, Saint: They walk in.

[fervent rivet]

Mouse is scratching her head again.

[pastel vale]

Charybdis presses a button and the elevator goes down slowly, occasionally jumping.
There are 12 sublevels, we are going to 11.

[fluid mauve]

HOM is trying his best to swaddle mouse so they don't get overwhelmed

[pastel vale]

There we can suit up and meet the void worm.

[jolly goblet]

(is the Carer still on the story? if so recap me what just happened)

[fluid mauve]

THE RUMBLING

[pastel vale]

Charybdis unzips the duffels to reveal two void exploration suits

HOM, put one of these on.

[gaunt jetty]

(They pretty much rushed it off, so not sure.)

[pastel vale]

Charybdis puts one on

[fluid mauve]

No...

[pastel vale]

(Sorry
I think he's still at the sanctuary(

[pastel vale]

We can do this two ways. You put this on and we do this the easy way and get buddy that way or we do this the hard way.

[jolly goblet]

(She)

[fluid mauve]

Buddy isn't in the void...

[gaunt jetty]

(Next time we should not continue unless everyone is here and all should do one reply per time.)

[fervent rivet]

*Mouse looks at HOM, before looking around at those in the elevator.)

[pastel vale]

We need to kill the void worm. For a lot of reasons, and I need you.

[gaunt jetty]

(Stuff got kinda chaotic outta nowhere, my bad.)

[pastel vale]

I need Kurtis too.

[fluid mauve]

What do you need me for...?

[pastel vale]

The elevator stops for a second before continuing.

[pastel vale]

I need the buddy part of you.

[fluid mauve]

HELL NO...

[pastel vale]

I've been working out a way to tackle the void worm for a long time and basically- we're not enough. Your powers might be insane but it isn't enough.

You're trying to kill an immortal being.

[gaunt jetty]

Dreamchaser: ...Charybdis...Stop.

[pastel vale]

Okay. Sound out your argument then.

[gaunt jetty]

Dreamchaser: ...You're not the one in the control of this situation anymore.

Your people have already failed...And we're not going to risk it twice.

[fluid mauve]

THE RUMBLING CAVES IN THE LOWER FLOORS

[pastel vale]

I'm not sure what here to be more offended about. A lot of us didn't agree with what everybody else was doing.

And besides- what's your plan? Go out in a big fight? You haven't been planning for 6 months.

[gaunt jetty]

Dreamchaser: ...Personally...I guess that your plans aren't here for help, are you?

Shakes head.

...You was part of UNT, or at least had a part of him from you.

[pastel vale]

My plans include killing the worm and then punting as many problems from the world as I can.

Charybdis sighs
Fine. You do you.
This facility has automated security that I can activate, they'll support you. I will hang back- but if crap hits the fan I'm going to use my plan and it's not very ethical.

[fervent rivet]

Mouse started to glare irritably at the Assistant.

[pastel vale]

the elevator jerks as it falls before catching itself and landing with a ding.

[fluid mauve]

HOM grabs mouse by the scruff lf the neck
Do not...

[pastel vale]

The assistant notices this and goes to hug Mouse

[fluid mauve]

ITS JUST RUBBLE

[pastel vale]

Charybdis presses a button to go up two floors
Nevermind then...

[fervent rivet]

Mouse holds out her hand as if to stop Assistant.
“..no.”

[pastel vale]

The Assistant seems confused
'Why'

The elevator dings and the doors open to reveal a frozen hallway. Strewn about are armed security robots, their systems offline.

[gaunt jetty]

Dreamchaser: ...

She looks suspicious of Charybdis.

Rain: ...Sheire?

[pastel vale]

What?

Charybdis exits the elevator

[fluid mauve]

The floor is slippery

[fervent rivet]

Mouse slides across the floor like an elephant trying to ice skate.

[pastel vale]

The Assistant slides across the hall and bonks into the wall

[gaunt jetty]

Dreamchaser: ...Perhaps i am getting more awake than the usual.

She stays covering Kurtis, Rain and Saint as they proceed.

[fluid mauve]

HOM struggles to keep balance while sliding

[pastel vale]

The hall splits
I got the bots, you do you.
Charybdis slides down a hall

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: ...I not gonna try to crawl around here..

Rain: Just sliding casually.

Saint: Hovering.

[jolly goblet]

(I just going to watch)

[fluid mauve]

What are we here for again...?

[gaunt jetty]

Dreamchaser: ...

She doesn't stop staring Charybdis anymore, even when trying to proceed as the hall breaks.

[pastel vale]

The Assistant pushes off the wall and slides for a bit before grabbong the leg of a frozen robot

The assistant is tempted to go down the hall and be with Charybdis but he decides not to

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: Looks at Dreamchaser, confused, then concerned.

...Charybdis...Can i...Get to talk with you in private?

[pastel vale]

Sure.

Charybdis gestures to a nearby room that she enters

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: Looks at Rain.

...Make sure they don't get lost here...

Then he goes to the room she went.

[fervent rivet]

Mouse is just sliding everywhere after Chary.

[pastel vale]

The room seems to be in a much better state than everywhere else with no ice on the floor. Server stacks line the walls and come whirring to life as Kurtis enters. Charybdis begins pulling out miniature computers from the servers and hacking into them

The Assistant follows Mouse

[fervent rivet]

The scavenger walks into the room, thankful that the ground is dry.

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: ...What is your real intentions here?

Sighs.

Be honest...That gaze she is giving you clearly is a bad signal.

[fluid mauve]

HOM is doing the thing again

[pastel vale]

The Void Worm might be the most powerful, but it has a limit.

Charybdis flashes one of the knives
These are energy extractors, I have used them once. You take a powerful being and you basically absorb the power from them into the user. The user bit wasn't intended but you can't exactly contain raw power any other way.

I was going to steal the worms power and then destroy that power, but I realized that was stupid.

So I thought about try to give it so much power it dies.

I don't exactly have a plan right now and my microoroccesors aren't doing me sh right now.

My best idea is to gather as much power as I can into myself, go to the heart of the sea, and then implode the heart.

By my calculations, all beings that have ascended will be revived and all damage will be undone.

That is- damage by the sea.

[fervent rivet]

Mouse looks at Assistant, staying silent.

[pastel vale]

The Assistant looks back, worried.

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: ...It will not do anything to it...

Shakes head.

Logic here, is not appliable...

Do you really want to know what happens there once the problem is gone?

[pastel vale]

The word collapsed into a black hole?
Charybdis presses a few keys before standing up.

The lights turn on and the robots come to life and immediately begin following HOM, Rain, and the others

[fluid mauve]

HOM instantly chains an string of static to each robot

He yanks it and all the robots simultaneously fall

[fervent rivet]

Mouse looks then at the wires, feeling the urge to pull them.

[pastel vale]

What?!
Somebody killed the robots!

There goes the support.

[fluid mauve]

They're not dead, just inactive...

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: ...The Void Sea is a extension of the Void Worm corpse...

When we kill it...Essentially it ends up destroying it too...

And everything else that is connected to it...

That means all the echoes people will vanish...

They will not be repaired, neither the damage here...

Those who already moved on will not come back, and the ones staying will finally move on...

I might even vanish after that.

[pastel vale]

(all power got used up to activate them)

[fluid mauve]

Next time, tell me that they're on our side...

[pastel vale]

I DID-

[fluid mauve]

Not...

[pastel vale]

Then what's your grand plan?

[fervent rivet]

The scavenger suddenly looks back at a corner of the room, a spear is laying here.

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: ...There is no plan against it...

It is a redemption of the struggles...

Things should return to a normal degree...

The people will stop being immortal...

And who knows if they will become semi like the Valstayans or completely wipe off.

[pastel vale]

So then why are we here??

Here's what it looks like to me- there is no good outcome so we have to go for the alright outcome.

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: ...There is no good outcome in what is the thing to do sometimes.

But you have to...It is something we own...

If this worm win...It won't only be us that will be gone...Other worlds will also get destroyed by it...

That thing is a colonizer...It won't stop moving, and will expand as a spatial plague.

[pastel vale]

So we wait and do nothing?

[fluid mauve]

I do something...

I have an equal force to that monster, all I have to do is pay a small price to stop it...

[pastel vale]

Charybdis snorts
You are not it's equal- none of us are.

[fluid mauve]

Doubt me all you want, but this is destiny...

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: ...Yes...We will kill it anyways...Now...HOM...You can have it...It is what Buddy wants you to do.

[pastel vale]

Screw destiny.

Killing the worm is one thing but what about stopping the sea?

[gaunt jetty]

(Got brain issued.)

[fluid mauve]

Killing the worm will stop the sea...

[pastel vale]

Damit I'm coming with you then.

she unslings her shotgun

[fluid mauve]

The fuck you arent...
You'll gain nothing from it, its better if you stay...

[pastel vale]

I'll gain more than you think.

Besides- I already did part of my plan.

The Assistant's eyes go wide

[fervent rivet]

Mouse raises the spear on the floor, looking at the Assistant.

[fluid mauve]

You won't survive the void, you'll just accend with no accomplishments...

[pastel vale]

The Assistants eyes go even wider and he starts shaking his head
'NO' 'NO' 'NO'

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: ...The Void Sea is the Void Worm and vice-versa...They can just generate more of the fluid though...

Sighs.

I just hope...You all can get to continue after that.

[pastel vale]

Why the hell do you think I made this suit?

[fluid mauve]

In the final 3 cycles, the void grows stronger, you suit wont do anything to stop it...

[fervent rivet]

Mouse finally raised the spear, tossing it directly towards the Assistant. (it doesn’t have to kill them, maybe gets lodged in their tail?)

[fluid mauve]

HOM notices it and prevents the spear from coming closer, and immobilizes mouse
Enough...

The cycles are getting to you, you're becoming a threat to you and those around you...

You're loosing yourself aren't you...?

[pastel vale]

The Assistant 👀

The Assistant skitters away

[pastel vale]

I cant just sit around here.

[fluid mauve]

Theres nothing else you can do, I get it, you're trying to help, but you're killing yourself just to make ends meet...

[pastel vale]

I'm already dead. Those ends died too.

[fervent rivet]

Mouse finally starts taking deep breathes, calming herself.

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: ...You loved someone, didn't you?

[fluid mauve]

Who are you asking...?

[pastel vale]

I'm not asking anybody.

The building shakes violently.

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: ...But i am.

Points to Charybdis.

...Its not a convenient time but...

Soon, it might not even matter.

So, why not make last confessions?

[pastel vale]

I made those confessions already.
I'm just going to finish them.

Chary takes a deep breath
I really dislike the talking, can we please just act?

[fluid mauve]

We're not leaving till you speak up...

[pastel vale]

I loved somebody, and they loved me back. But they died a long time ago and there is nothing I can do about it.
A faint karma halo flickers above her, signalling her karma level (9)

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: ...Perhaps is not too late...Who was it?

[pastel vale]

Six Sunken Suns.

[gaunt jetty]

Rain: Approaches Mouse, petting her.

...Calm down girl..

Kurtis: ...Okay...I think i can try to sort it out...While we have time to.

He starts meditating...Getting in the realm of the darkness again, stopping his breathing and searching this person between these ones.

[pastel vale]

This doesn't feel like it's the right time-

[fervent rivet]

Eventually, the scavenger is completely calmed.

[gaunt jetty]

He is already disconnected from reality, so being futile to speak...Then he keeps his search.

Rain: ...Saint?

Saint: ...I sense lizards...Stay right there you all.

[pastel vale]

Charybdis sighs and sits down
Just like an audit.

[fluid mauve]

HOM is looking into nothing

[gaunt jetty]

(Casually looking at wall.)

(Being real mind is overloaded with info and not working well.)

[pastel vale]

(Yeah, I'm pretty busy, do we want to end for now?)

[fluid mauve]

(HOM is communicating with some higher deity rn)

[gaunt jetty]

(Yeah should stop a bit.)

[pastel vale]

(k)

[pastel vale]

(I won't be available much today, I have a high workload)

[fluid mauve]

(POV: Music)

[pastel vale]

This is a map of everything in the rp. As time goes on I will update this more.

[jolly goblet]

(ooo)

[fervent rivet]

Mouse is just trying to sit still.
“This place gives me the creeps…”

[pastel vale]

Charybdis presses a button on her belt
If you want to work your magic on me- fine. Any of your abilities should work on me now.

[fluid mauve]

HOM is mentaly absent

[pastel vale]

The Assistant jumps into HOM's lap, scared by Mouse

[fluid mauve]

Oh...
Hold still...
HOM gently cradles The Assistant as a static bubble surrounds them

[fervent rivet]

The brown scavenger simply looks away.

[pastel vale]

This is verryy weird...
Are you sure we can't deal with the big worm?

[gaunt jetty]

His shadow starts leaving his body again...His voice echoes through the dead.

Kurtis Avatar: ...Ummm...Excuse me, has any of you here heard of Six Sunken Suns?

[fluid mauve]

("Hey, uh, mom made pancakes")

[fervent rivet]

(Yum)

(Mouse realistically would love pancakes)

[pastel vale]

(y u m)

[pastel vale]

There is no answer.

[fervent rivet]

(When they go to fight the worm, will all of them have void resistant suits?)

[pastel vale]

(There are only two. One for Chary and the other for HOM. Charybdis has one on right now so it looks like she's wearing a spacesuit over everything)

[fervent rivet]

(So Mouse and the others will stay.)

[pastel vale]

(probably? I'm not sure)

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis Avatar: ...I see...So he didn't exactly die yet...Aw shut up...You always pester me when i come.

He returns to the living, his shadow vanishing.

[pastel vale]

(Actually he did die via the sad way, but it's so long and so far away that yeah)

The building rumbles and one of the servers falls down.

[gaunt jetty]

(Boyd fluided.)

[fervent rivet]

Mouse is started by the server falling, grabbing a spear and chucking it at the fallen piece.

[pastel vale]

So- did you find anything?

The Assistant shifts in HOM's lap

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: ...I will assume he either turned into an echo...

Or already moved on to a new existence.

Looks around.

...Lets go.

[pastel vale]

Charybdis gets up and presses the device again

So what now? Do you want us to stay here while you go be super cool?

[fluid mauve]

Are you okay now...?

[pastel vale]

The Assistant lets out a small warble

[fluid mauve]

Okay...
The static bubble disappears

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: Shrug.

...I guess its my time by now...

Saint: Returns from a direction he goed.

...We got reinforcements from outside.

Rain: ...They're waiting for us Kurtis.

[pastel vale]

Epic.

[fervent rivet]

Mouse blinks, looking at Saint.
“Reinforcements? Like army?”

[gaunt jetty]

Saint: Nods in agreement.

...Some will stay at surface...While others will go deep down...

To wherever Kurtis have went to.

Kurtis: Starts walking ahead, looking down to the crackings.

...I hope it is the last time i have to go down there...

Charybdis...Careful with the Guardians.

[pastel vale]

Chary nods and unslings her shotgun
Gotcha.

[fervent rivet]

Mouse looks at Chary, looking somewhat saddened.
“Will machine be back?”

[pastel vale]

Yeah- I'll come back.
She looks down and adds, more to herself,
I always do.

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: Sighs.

Rain: She gets closer of him reassuringly.

Kurtis: He goes down.

There is some slugcats getting in...All geared as well...They enter with Rain and Saint coordination.

[pastel vale]

HOM- take care of the Assistant and Mouse.

Charybdis runs after Kurtis

[fervent rivet]

Mouse sits down.

[pastel vale]

The Assistant shivers

[fervent rivet]

The scav looks at Assistant.
“machine will be back. Cycles.”

[pastel vale]

The Assistant nods warily

[fluid mauve]

HOM gently skritches The Assistant behind the ears
Its okay...

[fervent rivet]

Mouse puts her hand near her neck.
“If Mouse feels urge to attack, Mouse will enter other room.”

[pastel vale]

The Assistant nods

[fluid mauve]

Let me...
HOM gently places his hand on your head... you suddenly feel a bit more calm

[fervent rivet]

The scav blinks.

[fluid mauve]

Just stay close to me...

[gaunt jetty]

...There is quite a lot of white worms in an appearant bottomless black sea.

Kurtis: ...Ignore them...Some are just illusions...

Rain: ...Is this like...A nest?

Saint: ...Yeah...They are like workers serving a queen...

Rain: ...Ugh..

[pastel vale]

The air around Charybdis seems to pop and crackle

[gaunt jetty]

Slowly, other shapes from other directions are joining the army flock.

[fluid mauve]

SOMETHING NOTICED YOU

YOURE NOT ALONE ANYMORE

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: ...Grabs rifle...

...Remember...Only shoot the ones actually trying to get at us.

[pastel vale]

Yep.

I can handle the guardians, y'all get the worm.

[fluid mauve]

SOMETHING RUMBLES AHEAD

[jolly goblet]

(can I hop in?)

[fluid mauve]

(Idk how you're gonna do that)

[pastel vale]

(I think maybe next season... Idk)

[gaunt jetty]

(Pretty much at an ending.)

[fluid mauve]

THE GAURDIANS AHEAD HAVE BEEN INFECTED BY THE STATIC, THEY DISPLAY A SYMBOL THATS IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE OUT

[pastel vale]

Crap!

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: ...Did it try to absorb it to itself too?

Saint: ...I guess...Maybe it did...Is it to worry about?

[fluid mauve]

THEY EMIT A QUIET HUMMING NOISE THAT SLOWLY CREEPS IN VOLUME

[pastel vale]

Charybdis grabs her head for a moment before firing a shot at the nearest Guardian that explodes, creating a large hole in its body

[fluid mauve]

IT INSTANTLY REPAIRS AND STARTS TO QUICKEN THE VOLUME INCREASE OF THE HUM

[pastel vale]

Charybdis curses and holds her head

[gaunt jetty]

Saint: ...It begins.

He starts Mind Blasting it.

The army flock starts shooting at it...Kurtis as well...Rain seem to be staying nearby Saint and Kurtis, as if to backup them in some manner.

[jolly goblet]

(I probably will make a character teaser for the next season if there will be one)

[fluid mauve]

IT ENDS UP HURTING YOU MORE THAN YOU HURT IT

[pastel vale]

Charybdis unloads

Wait- I have an idea!

Charybdis pulls back and goes to her knees and presses her eyes closed

The static on one of the Guardians flickers and begins to fade.

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: ...Huh...Cease fire!

[fluid mauve]

IT EMITS A VIBRATION THAT RUMBLES THE STRUCTURE

[pastel vale]

The static suddenly disappears and the Guardian twists around and slashes the other in to bits, slicing it's mark apart.

[fluid mauve]

The humming stops...

The way ahead is blocked...

[pastel vale]

The static-less Guardian falls

Charybdis falls to her hands before getting up

You're- welcome.

[gaunt jetty]

Rain: ...What a weird place...You're good?

[pastel vale]

Yeah. Just a headache.

[fluid mauve]

HOM's nose starts to bleed
...Oh.

[pastel vale]

Charybdis picks up her shotgun and blasts open the path before reloading and holstering the shotgun, going for the revolver
I don't have too many shells, so let me know when you need a good bit of firepower.

[fluid mauve]

Its still blocked

[jolly goblet]

(Actually this is the good time for a character teaser. They are going in the sea right)

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: He looks what exactly is ahead of the path.

[pastel vale]

The path suddenly explodes

[pastel vale]

(yyyes)

[gaunt jetty]

(Maybe.)

[fluid mauve]

Its covered by more debris from the explosion

[jolly goblet]

(if so, I wait)

[pastel vale]

The debris suddenly disappear

[fluid mauve]

The way ahead looks lonely

[gaunt jetty]

(Wait a second, shouldn't it be around the sea?)

[pastel vale]

(I thought we were entering the sea?)

[gaunt jetty]

(Jeb.)

[pastel vale]

(The bottom of the facility got eated by the sea and were going through the eted sea)

[fluid mauve]

(Theres a good reason why I'm making it so hard to progress)

[pastel vale]

( )

Alright- let's get a move on!
Charybdis moves down the path

[gaunt jetty]

Saint: ...I don't remember this place being this much chaotic back then...

What is going on?

[fluid mauve]

You are filled with nothing but emptiness

[pastel vale]

I'm guessing the static made an appearance...

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: ...A weird feeling..

He's starting to become the shadow form again.

[fluid mauve]

6 dead lizards...
18 dead lizards...
40 dead lizards...
70 dead lizzards...```

[pastel vale]

...and I thought I hated lizards.

[gaunt jetty]

Saint: ...Looks like we got at a similar place of HOM's home...Odd Dejavü.

[fluid mauve]

AT YOU...```

[pastel vale]

(oh no)
Charybdis hesitates

[gaunt jetty]

Saint and Rain: They seem to stop, a bit startled.

Kurtis: He is still walking ahead...Then he looks back.

...Something wrong?

[pastel vale]

Nope. Charybdis moves to catch up with Kurtis

[fluid mauve]

STARING...WATCHING...LOOKING...WAITING

it stops...

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: ...Huh...Feels like someone is trying to play around with us...

Saint: ...I-i guess...

Returns to walk ahead, holding Rain hand.

[pastel vale]

(discord got obliterated on my end, please hold for a sec)

You think Buddy is here?

Being all- demonic and stuff?

[fluid mauve]

You stand before the void sea...

You stand before the void...

[pastel vale]

Looks like I finally got in. Not going to be rejected this time.

[fluid mauve]

You stand before...

Theres nothing...

[pastel vale]

....

[fluid mauve]

It's gone...

[pastel vale]

The fu-?

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: ...I guess it is.

Saint: ...Do not trust the eyes...Something is here.

[fluid mauve]

Its a long way down...
Its an answer...
The answer...```

[pastel vale]

Whelp. I don't see any other path than down.

Charybdis goes up to the edge

[fluid mauve]

THE EDGE IS FRAGILE

YOURE GOING TO FALL```

[pastel vale]

Charybdis falls back

I am not going down there unless we all do it at the same time-

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: Teleports Charybdis back.

[pastel vale]

Thanks.

[fluid mauve]

Pitty! Pitty! Pitty!
Its a death wish, a trap!
The worms know what you're planning...```

Its a dead end!

[pastel vale]

Charybdis looks around

Excuse me?

[fluid mauve]

Hahahaha!
Shame! Shame! Shame!```

[jolly goblet]

(I can smell a character teaser soon)

[pastel vale]

(goblin)

[fluid mauve]

WHY DOES IT HURT

[pastel vale]

Because you're an asshole?

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: ...Huh...Wait...She who?

[fluid mauve]

MAKE IT STOP
Shame!
STOP
Shame!
STOP
SHAME!!!```

[pastel vale]

I'll bite...
I say we jump down there.

[fluid mauve]

Just a drop to nowhere!
STOP HURTING THEM```

The whistling returns...

[pastel vale]

Yes!

[fluid mauve]

hall of the mountain king

[pastel vale]

Charybdis begins matching the tune of the whistling

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: ...Hi again Buddy...You can talk...I can hear you from here.

...And also the others.

[fluid mauve]

Oh no no no no no no no no no no no no no!
SHES GONE```

Never to be seen again!

[pastel vale]

Chary whistles hall of the mountain king

Please just suddenly appear...

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: ...You're just mocking her?

Sigh.

...Well, you can just talk there on your own then.

[fluid mauve]

The ground beneath you begins to crumble

[pastel vale]

Charybdis continues whistling

[fluid mauve]

This one just so happens to be your worst!```

The floor beneath caves in

[pastel vale]

Charybdis stops whistling
MOTHER FUUUUUUUUUUUOOOOOOOOONOOOOOO

[fluid mauve]

[PRESS SPACE TO RESTART ON NEXT CYCLE]
As for the rest of your group? They'll meet the same fate!

[pastel vale]

(do we all just pass out and wake up at the bottom?)

[gaunt jetty]

Kurtis: Crosses out with Rain and Saint.

[fluid mauve]

Everyone awakens back at navy pearl

[pastel vale]

Charybdis gets up
Screw this madness.

WHERE ARE YOU?!

[fluid mauve]

Chary...
You saw them too didn't you...?

[pastel vale]

What?

[fluid mauve]

A Thousand Voices Of The Void...

[pastel vale]

The Assistant suddenly gets up

[pastel vale]

That little gremlin?

(we all got teleported)
