Twigs holds up newspapers. “He’s been leaving a lot of these!”
The teal overseer inspects the Caretaker.
How do you know H- the owner of that hat?
The Assistant Wa's back
(Yeah! He's OUR friend!)
Remind me, why do you need this information?
We want to know where he is, or what happened to him. He's quite important here...
Chary looks around
How about we sit down somewhere and talk about this?
Mouse raises an eyebrow. “Mouse might think… memories fuzzy..”
Yes we can actually.
She hops of her conveyor and walks towards you
new model Iterators are quite advanced, no?
I've only seen one Iterator that could do that, and they built their own body.
I'm guessing my 'new' you mean that you were built after the ascentions?
We were in beta when the Ancients were working on ascending.
Twigs smiles. “I gotta teach that to Pages after we return! She might be able to do it too!”
The overseer looks at Twigs, somewhat stunned.
Hm.
Chary goes to the Caretaker
Before I tell you anything I need to know what you know about him.
Oh, sorry sweetie. Its limited to my model, and I don't know if others can do it so well...
The Assistant warbles
(It is! I helped!)
Well, hes a resident here, has a wife, works at 3 of our major companies here, and he wears the hat my scug over here wears now.
Oh! Well I stand corrected!
Chary's head tilts down
He's here?
Well, was... thats why we've been looking for him.
Twigs raises an eyebrow. “He’s married? Marriage is disgusting, Blegh!”
I know him. The only other person that knew him better is this slugcat and somebody who is missing.
You'll understand its beauty one day, little one...
Chary tries not to laugh at this
The issue is- he disappeared to us as well. We don't know where he is or what happened to him.
Twigs shrugs. “Are we ever even gonna grow older?”
Yes.
Now that the cycle is gone, yes we can grow older now.
'Ummm...I am having serious concerns right now.'
We don't know where he is or really what happened to him. We have the same amount of information as you are letting on.
What is that implying?
'...Not me, but your friend.'
Which one? HOM?
Oh... well thats bad... thankfully we have someone to temporarily take his place, but still, I recommend looking for him if you can, he looks like this.
'...The other one...He is...Getting the feeling of observation.'
Chary nods, looking at the familiar image.
Can you tell me where he lived?
That makes no sense.
What do you mean?
House N4V7 93R1.
Mouse looks at the picture, somewhat worried.
Twigs blinks. “Huh, he looks like an adult!”
Thanks.
I trust you, so his door is open to you.
(nice anagram coding thing I forgor what it's called)
We head to his house. He might seem like an adult, but he was pretty young last time I saw him.
Chary heads to his haus
The door scans you face and opens
Twigs holds the teal overseer as Mouse follows.
You get hit with a wave of deja vu... its exactly like the house you woke up in...
(so it's the same as NP?)
Not really... oh wait, yup, we're back at the begining.
This appears to be the same as Navy Pearl...
(Yup)
Chary heads further in, looking for any differences
Twigs looks around. “Yeah! I recognize it kinda too!”
There is some faint whimpering in the room.
Its all the same, just more alive
It is gone...But it left a red symbol as well...But with golden, as if it was burning between both colors.
What the?
Twigs nears the symbol. “huh?”
Charybdis whispers
Pluvia?
Seems like it is ghosting some of his memories about this place.
(I gtg, my bus finally got to school half an hour late(
(Damn)
(We'll wait for ya)
''I...Why do i feel like i am...Into another entrapment? ...Where is the others? I'm afraid...Why have the ones i used to know been taken away? ...Help...I...Am not feeling good about this...Someone is making fun of us..''
Twigs looks at the symbol, trying to hear it.
(I'm back now)
(Supposed to be the whispers i just fucked up.)
(ah)
Who are you?
We can help you- it's safe here.
Sounds like it is still there, but hiding...It is fearful in tone.
...You all again...Are you following me?..
No? We are just here, trying to find some friends.
The Assistant gets down and looks at the symbol
Twigs looks at Assistant. “What does it mean?”
The Assistant looks at Twigs, then Mouse.
'Friend' 'Here' 'Scared'
Twigs widens her eyes. “Really?”
I think this symbol- is a remnant of somebody me and Assistant knew.
...I...
Shivering.
Can't trust any of you...
All i know from you all is just...Bad..
Who are you?
Did you know UNT?
Twigs looks at the stranger. “We’re not bad!”
...How do you know?
Wait...No...
...You all are going to do that again...
I don't need to wait to know...
Sounds somewhat sad.
I...Don't know what is happening at full...
But is no good...You Ancients just...Caused wreckage to everyone...
I didn't see everything...But i lived long enough it wasn't worth trying to reach...
Why i was dormant?
...Ugh..
The ones that did the damage died tens of thousands of years ago- they are all gone.
Chary looks at Twigs
I don't think we can help them.
Twigs sighs. “…I don’t think the bad adults came back except for the rioters at Pages District..”
...They just came back...
Coughing.
...Don't lie to me...
Its just...Question of time...
Until they start over...
I...Was beaten up before hiding here...
I am not a fool to know...
Something is wrong..
Twigs started thinking, before taking a look at Chary. “…why were we brought back to life?”
Yeah, there's a lot wrong here.
The cycles were ended.
Seems they're delusional, don't they know that the void fluid is gone and that they can die of old age now?
Are you somebody made from void fluid maybe?
'I see...Now i get it.'
......Yes..
I'm honestly not sure, but it has to do with whoever lives here.
Twigs looks at the overseer, before looking back. “…were we even meant to be alive again?”
Chary stays silent.
'...You are the delusional one here.'
Explain then, hot shot.
Shut up, I'm trying to listen to the whisper.
I think- please, let me help you.
I know somebody that can help.
'...Very funny for who's watching us.'
...Who...Who are you all?...I just know the Assistant...But why is him with you?
I think Twigs might be about to have a mental breakdown//
Twigs raises her hand, still deep in thought about this. “..I’m.. Eleven Twigs.”
Mouse raises her hand. “Mouse is Mouse.”
(WHAT)
(Yea)
(I'M ONLY TAKING THIS FRIDAY OFF WHAT THE)
(Damn)
...It manifests...Its Kurtis...Seems like he is bleeding in the head, as if he was clubbed...There is other manifests of physical harm around his body...Seems like he got in trouble.
...Oh...
Looks away.
...I'm rather unsure about it...
I didn't presence it myself...
See...We're just here...Why would it be?
Unless...
Shakes head, then the symbol in the ground becomes full red again.
N-no..
Mouse raises her head. “Symbol went red!”
(I ALREADY HAD MY BREAK!!!)
(Damn)
(MY BREAK WAS LIKE SEVERAL WEEKS AGO AND ALL I HAD WAS A MONDAY AND FRIDAY AND I WAS Forced TO DO WORK SND IT WASNT ACTUALLY A BREAK)
Kurtis, what happened?
Chary grabs him
Don't think about the symbol of why you are here or any of that. I really need you here.
The Assistant jumps up next to Kurtis
He tries to push you off...He whimpers.
...Stop...I...I feel like i lost something important...Why does that hurt..
The fluid- the void fluid is gone. You're made from it, right? The stuff that made you has disappeared.
I need you to calm down and breathe.
(~~)meanwhile, somebody wakes up over at Navy Pearl
Kurtis, can you stay here, in a physical state, without disappearing into the symbol?
...He is shaking and feeling cold...All he does is whimper after he stop struggling...The symbol come back to have its burning golden scrapped color.
'...He is in shock...I'm at outside of this location, just waiting.'
Can you help him?
'...Not sure yet...But be very careful, probably can be provoked very easily at this state...And be wary of that other person in your mind.'
Kurtis, can you walk with me for a moment?
(I’m on but having dinner)
(Well there is just you here.)
Twigs follows them alongside Mouse. Twigs still seems rather distressed.
(Man is taking their fall day i suppose.)
(Twigs is having a mental breakdown. She doesn’t know why they were brought back.$
(Baby’s first Crisis! We should celebrate//jk)
Mouse looks at Twigs. “Child okay?”
Twigs looks at Mouse, holding the overseer. “…I’m.. not sure.”
(Eyo why is it continuing without him?)
(Gettin real we do that nearly every day, not much a issue to wait.)
(Besides of personal activities.)
(I was thinking that we could at least move a line or two and then stop
I honestly have very little else to do)
(What do I do?)
(uhhh here is where I think you left off)
(oop brb)
(I mean, for a good time i stayed quiet too.)
I FUCKING LOVE AIR CONDITIONING!!!
(back(
(A perfect way to continue lmao)
(back)
The Assistant hops up onto Twigs
Twigs looks at the Assistant. “Oh! Hello, little guy.”
The Assistant does some moral support stuff (idk maybe being cute)
He doesn't seem to resist, just whimpering.
Someone is waiting outside...Seems like a cat-like figure...Somewhat robotical...He waves and speak, it is the same voice that was in your head.
?: Hi.
Twigs smiles a little.
Birsha appear behind Twigs why are we saying hello?
Twigs looks at Birsha. “I’m just.. saying hi to the creature.”
What creature? Birsha tilts his head oh hello there
Oddly enough, he has the same symbol that Kurtis have behind him...But is wavering between many colors.
?: Looks at Kurtis, crouching at his level.
...Hello..
Kurtis: Looks at him, confused.
...Umm...Hi...Who...
?: Smiling.
...Shh...I'm 'S.A.S'..
Twigs blinks. “What’s a S.A.S?”
S.A.S: ...It does stand as Sylarean Autonomus System.
Waving with a smile.
The Assistant comes out and looks at SAS
Sylarean?
Twigs blinks. “Oh, so you’re like an Iterator?”
S.A.S: ...I would wish to not speak about this, as it doesn't came for matter...
But i do investigate otherworldly abnormalities.
Aaaand this whole planet is an anomaly?
Hopefully not Birha whisper him self
I'm gonna make a guess based off what you've said and say that Kurtis is the anomaly- yes?
Twigs looks at Chary, lifting her mask a little. “What does anomaly mean?”
"Not normal."
Something that is not-
like chary said
S.A.S: Chuckling.
...For a abnormality, Kurtis is stable...
But not what is happening here...
I feel like someone forced their way through him either, and this is affecting him negatively.
Kurtis: Looks away.
Somebody did something and they removed something that was affecting the world and reversed a lot of damage. However, that something was also keeping a lot of people together.
I think ATV could probably explain it better.
Uuuhhhh, wait you can hear me?
Me or him? Because the answer is yes.
S.A.S: ...I can.
Kurtis: ...Who...Are you talking to?
“Are we anomalies too?” Twigs shows concern.
An- aquatance.
Okay, so... well... fuck I thought I was limited to one person...
No.
I think it's more y'all are using my head as a terminal to chat.
(can Twigs mask take broadcasts?)
(It can, but she never realized it could)
(She had it on mute this entire time lmao)
Twigs suddenly recoiled in shock, knocking on her helmet. “What the-?!”
What the-?!
So, the prophet succeeded in saving the world and bringing everyone back via sacrificing himself to end the cycle and reviving all the echos, shaka shaka ding ding, now were here...
It’s me- Twigs! Wh- how are you talking in my helmet?!
Twigs is trying to remove her helmet.
*An engine and roaring can be heard in the background along with muffled pings*```
(We all thought the same thing)
Birsha sits on the floor, doing nothing
(I mean like rocks hitting metal...
Or bullets)
I'm reminding you, I'm just a voice in your head, those who can hear me are already dead.
I'm not dead?
Hang on! Hang on!
Twigs turns the knob on her helmet. The volume raises up.
Excluding you, of course.
*A loud bang sounds*
SSS: YOU NEED TO GET BACK NOW!```
Chary looks at Twigs with an "oh shi" look
The Assistant crawls up onto Chary
Birsah looks at Chary Hm? whats worng?
And this place is in perfect shape, now we have conflict...
BROADCAST ENDED```
Twigs looks at the overseer, shocked. “Olly! Lead us out!”
The overseer nods and points in the right direction.
Mouse immediately starts running that way to attack whoever is attacking the car.
Chary picks up Kurtis and starts sprinting towards the entrance
S.A.S: ...I'm very sure most arent...You are the problem here...Together with whatever assumed place.
He looks at the running group...Then goes to other path.
...I will find you...And Kurtis will do too.
Kurtis: Confused whimpering.
Birash looks at the group running
Why are we running? oh well
Birash follows the group with a fast walk
Alrighty!
Our ride is being attacked!
3.5 minutes later and everybody reaches the enterance
Twigs is running. She’s surprisingly fast.
All citizens remain calm, we have detected a disturbance outside the walls, pleaae remain calm!
Nothing is happening outside the enterance, the forest seems to be silent
THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK
What?!
a roaring can be heard and the APC appears from the treeline and rushes to the enterance.
"Situation sorted, hostiles neutralized, and the vehicle is safe!"
Twigs jumps in, pulling Mouse in as well. Mouse drops one of her spears.
Attention citizens, we are in lockdown! Repeat, we are in lockdown!
“…glad we left before it went to lockdown…” Twigs sighs.
Another explosion sounds, somebody is firing from the treeline with extreme accuracy
The APC door begins to close
Birash tried to jump in but got distracted by the explosion
Chary grabs Brisha and pulls her in
THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK
BOOM
“WHATS GOING ON?!” Twigs screams.
(he)
"They have explosives, fall back!"
The APC starts and begins driving
SOMEBODY REALLY WANTS US DEAD!
and explosion causes the entire APC to ring and slide
I DONT KNOW!!
“ACK!”
The APC flies into the forest
"TARGET SPOTTED, WE HAVE THEM CORNERED, GO GO GO!"
(Brb)
Kurtis: Shaking in confusion the whole time.
...Not again..
Twigs is struggling to hold the overseer.
(Here we go again)
I think we're ight.
Twigs was knocked onto the floor by the speed of the APC, and some part of her helmet is broken. “…ow… why were they attacking us…?”
@fluid mauve )
Suns looks back
I have no idea- they ambushed me while I was waiting for you all.
Wait, is that the corpse?
Suns gestures to Kurtis
Hey- we're good.
The APC slows
(I think they may be afk)
Twigs removed her helmet, seeing parts of it broken. “….” She simply sighs, shaking her head.
Mouse is traumatized.
The overseer is very shocked.
"Threat neutralized..."
How many casualties?
"12..."
DAMNIT...
Kurtis: ...They are fighting again...
Looks down.
Who?
The overseer leaves to go inspect the group that attacked the APC.
Who is fighting?
Lots of damage...blood...and fire...
Kurtis: ...Who else?
Points to Charybdis.
Your people.
The overseer is shocked, simply going back to the APC.
Suddenly, the APC explodes as a massive explosion splits it in half. The front half goes into a nearby stream with Suns, Brisha, and Mouse. The back half is flung upside down into the forest with Chary, Kurtis and Twigs
smoke fills the forest as a fire starts and more gunfire occurs
HOLY FU
Twigs lands harshly on the ground, gaining several bruises.
Mouse directly falls into the water.
The overseer goes to check on Twigs.
Twigs struggles to get up, having her mask destroyed by the fire.
The overseer glares directly at Chary.
...His eyes go full wide...The black part of his pupils are red.
Birsha gets up the stream all wet
Great, wet again. Anybody near me?
Mouse raises up. “Mouse… hurt.. but ok.”
Suns crawls out from the front
I'm- alright.
Uhhh...
Oh, little blue are you okay, are you hurt?
His mind is in full panic, not listening.
(Pages is really mad now)
Can we go one day where someone doesn't kill everyone?
SHUT UP
Twigs gets up, having blood on her knee.
Somebody runs past Twigs
Chary is suddenly thrown aside and somebody grabs Kurtis
"I don't know what's going on but we need to go!"
Smoke fills everywhere
Birsha tries to get Assistant up
come on, we need to check the others, if we can
Kurtis: He looks at the person...Then Mind Blasts them.
Twigs is struggling to get to Chary.
Mouse tries to find the group, or any other scavs.
'...Get away from him, now.'
Twigs looks at Chary. “…Chary… everything hurts..”
Crap. This is not good.
The overseer looks at Chary, seemingly scared of Kurtis.
The figure, clearly robotic, holds Kurtis and runs through the forest, dodging gunfire not coming from the city
'He is aggressive.'
Kurtis: Shaking.
Go find the others, NOW!
Who took him though?!
Birsha is carrying Assistant back to the group
Hello, anyone?
The overseer glared at Chary, staying with Twigs.
Mouse finally reaches the group again.
The overseer shows a hologram of a shelter somewhere nearby.
'...Me...Let me deal with that...You all get off.'
Alright- fine.
Chary picks up Twigs
Mouse... Where is Assistant and Brisha?
Kurtis is thrown into a ditch as the person carrying him fires
Mouse points at Birsha. “Friend! Come on!”
The person turns to face Kurtis, their face no longer obscured by smoke.
It's Charybdis, but she is a robot.
(Pages; Please keep my adopted child safe.
The APC; explodes
Pages:)
(How to piss off an extremely calm Iterator in two steps)
(Huh- how)
(Iterator Chary has returned)
Thank voids you are alright, you may have to check your friend. I'm not a medic, just a helper
Somebody kicks Twigs down
Kurtis: ...Wh-wh...
Crosses out.
The overseer looks at Twigs, trying to show her the hologram to a shelter.
Mouse shrugs. She isn’t a medic either.
Twigs tries to sit down, but she is kicked down to the ground.
(The irony of the void being gone)
A tall figure stands over her. The figure seems to be some kind of Ancient soilder with a gun
(can't say Thank god tho)
Chary turns around and tackles the soilder
The overseer shows shock, before showing severe anger. Bundles of electricity are appearing at its “arms”.
Twigs looks up at the soldier.
Chary sees this and kicks the soilder to the overseer
Charybdis grabs Kurtis and continues running
"Those soilders followed me- they're after you!"
The Assistant disappears
(He gone.)
Birsha looks around to see anyone alive, then see Twigs and the soldier
The overseer immediately starts shocking the Ancient soldier, hoping to do it lethally.
The Soilder shakes and falls over
(You don’t mess with an iterator’s child)
Twigs attempts to get up, watching the overseer continue to shock the soldier.
Chary grabs the gun and Twigs and takes cover
Birsha see Twigs and tries to go over there
We need to get outta here STAT!
Mouse runs over.
Bullets kick up dirt around Birsha
Kurtis: His symbol get full red again...But is getting more redder.
"Kurtis what are you doingg??"
The overseer delivers one more shock to the soldier before pointing a direction away from the conflict.
Twigs looks at Chary. “..,why are they after us?”
'...He is getting dangerous..'
Man... this is not very cash money.
The overseer points to a shelter at the shore, seemingly desperate.
S.A.S: Approaches Charybdis from a tree.
...Stop holding him like this.
"Who are you?!"
Charybdis points his revolver, but loosens her grip
Birsha backs up a bit and tries convince the soldier
Wait! I am a saint like your ancient prayers if you have any
S.A.S: ...Stop...He's feeling threatened, and might attack you.
Chary grabs Twigs and Mouse and sprints to the shelter
"So am I,"
Charybsis loosens her grip
Twigs is in pain. Relatable.
Mouse is chucking several spears in warning behind her.
The overseer seems extremely angry.
The Assistant is already inside the shelter
(This is what Olly looks like)
A soilder appears and slams the stock of his gun into Brisha
(ollliieee)
Chary enters the Shelter
Suns appears, shooting at the soilders near Brisha
Kurtis: He looks at Charybdis...Then teleports away from her, but not to S.A.S either.
...
S.A.S: Raised hands.
...Ey...Take it easy..
Mouse looks outside, seemingly worried.
Twigs tries to cover her wounds with her scratched up jacket.
Birsha landed on the floor Ow! wait I'm a saint! A prayer.
The Soilder growls something about religion before suddenly falling
(brb)
(Soilder.)
We can't do much about it.
The overseer glared at Chary, not looking happy at all. A single message popped out near it:
Return Twigs IMMEDIATELY.
The fuck happend? I just went to het oreos and now this?
Charybdis lowers her gun
"Alright- but can we talk elsewhere? This isn't exactly a good spot to talk."
Too bad, we're in a warzone. I'll get you Twigs, trust me.
Look! look at my forehead
Birsha points the three circle on his forehead
(In my haedcanon. Ancients monks/Saints have three painted circle in their forehead and on their mask. Usually means no violence or disturbance around them and other things. Sorry if this is long)
(the solders don't care)
The overseer narrows an eye before deactivating, falling into Twigs’s hands.
(oh uh)
Suns shoots a solder and grabs Brisha and shoves her into the shelter before entering himself
S.A.S: Gestures to Kurtis.
Can't leave with this guy potentially killing you...He's distressed and in pain.
Kurtis: He seems to be calming down.
(Birsha is a he)
Mouse lays down. “…they wanted Friend..”
Twigs simply sits down.
(Remove the sweety part and we just have Oo.)
Birsha is quoted surprise of Sun saving him ...Thank you.
"Okay but how d-"
Charybdis disappears
Any time. I'm guessing we wait.
Suns procures some bandages and attempts to patch everybody up
(is suns a iterator or ancient? I forgot)
Twigs looks at Suns. “..thank you, sir.”
S.A.S: ...Weird...
Looks around.
Kurtis: He looks around, worried.
...Please...Let me go..
S.A.S: ...We should split up for some time...I can't be helping both sides at the same time.
He picks him up.
...I'll get you out.
The soilders disappear
Twigs holds the overseer eye, before looking at everyone.
'Sorry i got someone else trying to take him off.'
Yo... Whispers... you wanna share this pizza with me?
Birsha sighs
Might as well stay here until the outside is calm down
'You can put this pizza in your ass and die, to think you use lives of people as an personal entertainment.'
Wait- can we all go into your place?
Can you get him back to us?
ONLY. IF. WE'RE. ALONE.
Why do I have to be alone?
I don't wanna draw attention to myself, I don't want the others thinking youre insane.
Plus if they found out about me I'm sure as hell not gonne be in your head anymore.
This HAS to stay between us, ok?
Twigs starts to fall asleep.
'...Hmm...I'm having one idea here...For the rest of this day i'll keep him with me...I gotta exchange words with the guy.'
Fine.
(Encrypted Whisper) 'Hhayi impela...Ngizohamba nawe, ngifihliwe.'
(wait nvm I gtg(
(ok uhhh I can rp)
(Time jump?)
Sure)
(morning I guess)
Twigs is still asleep. However, her wounds are patched up.
Mouse is also asleep.
Olly is very much awake, and still with Twigs. They’re very annoyed.
Suns is still up and already outside, watching
Chary gets up and wakes up Twigs and the Assistant
Pages is probably pissed right now.
Twigs opens her eyes, not comprehending what was said fully. “The overseer doesn’t look.. too happy.”
Makes sense.
Birsha is wide awake, looking the outside of the shelter Good morning
The Assistant runs outside and splashes in the stream
Twigs looks at Olly. “Are we sure they’re gone?”
Suns comes back
Yeah- they're gone.
“How are we.. gonna get back? Our vehicle exploded.”
I say we stay for a while before we move
We are going to have to walk.
Mouse awakens, looking at Suns.
Can you teleport us? SAS?
No response...Might be busy or asleep.
I guess we walk.
Chary gets up and walks out, she still has an SMG from the soilders before
...I got a few ideas
Twigs leaves the shelter, looking cautiously around. Mouse follows.
There seems to be some blue fruit and squidcada.
Chary shoots a squidcada and grabs it
I don't actually know if this thing is edible.
We can walk back or we can go to those iterator structure thing and ask them if we can have a ride one of those long rectangle things with wheels or steal a vehicle, somehow
Twigs inspects it. “maybe if we can cook it, it’d probably be.”
Chary sighs and holsters the SMG
We should probably go talk with the caretaker. See if they can help us.
Chary hands the cada to Twigs
Do you know how?
“…they won’t attack again, will they?” Twigs seems worried. “..and no.. not really. We could ask adults in the district?”
Olly has just decided they’re gonna stay quiet.
Suns reappears with the Assistant
I don't know, but we'd better move.
They start walking away
Feel like I been ignored just what I said
Twigs follows, still cautious.
Mouse gives a glance at Olly. “Birsha right. Need new vehicle.”
(Imagine a bunch of scavengers discovering motorcycles)
They reach the superstructure
(Page's or someone?)
(Oh yeah you wasn't around when they met Caretaker.)
(A)
(B.)
Twigs has her attention caught by some scavengers on another ledge discovering a coffee machine. They look at it, seemingly stunned and amazed by the coffee machine. It’s unplugged.
(C)
(D)
(E)
FUCK
(G)
("THE HOT WATER MECHINE!" said one of them "BRING US HOT WATER")
(H)
(HELL)
(Can’t wait for them to discover a working coffee machine)
Chary and the Assistant make a beeline for the Caretaker, Suns leaves to go check something out
Twigs just ignores the scavengers and follows Chary.
Mouse follows the group. Been a long time since she was with her tribe, so she’s much more accustomed to traveling with Chary.
Birsha also follows the group at the back
'...He slept.'
What?
'Ah, it's just Kurtis...The guy is sore.'
Not surprising, considering what happened.
Twigs looks at Chary. “Where’s caretaker?”
(@fluid mauve )
(The ping saga continues.)
(AUGH)
(??)
(My.phone autosent a reaction)
(Center)
Twigs looks up at the center.
Suns reappears behind Brisha
You know where we going, right?
Yes, I've been here before.
Then I will follow your foot
Chary enters the center
“they should have something to get us home..”
I would be surprised if they didn't.
Oh, hello again, sorry for the sudden lockdown.
It's fine- we need transport to a specific location. Vehicle, teleportation, something.
Hello touched Chary and whisper to him Who is that?
“The soldiers exploded our vehicle..”
The caretaker.
The Assistant walks up to the caretaker and looks up at them
Olly just wants to go home.
In the mean time...S.A.S is searching around for space ruptures, with his view being in a geometrical perspective, searching for overlapping forms.
(caretaker a iterator?)
(yes)
I told them to protect it, I doubt they had any intentions of destroying it.
Oh why hello!
We need some mode of transport. Can you teleport?
“Why were they attacking us???”
Birsha stays behind Chary
They were not attacking you.
Our APC was destroyed in an explosion. We were attacked by soilders.
“….one of the soldiers kicked me down though… Olly started shocking him.“ she holds her grumpy overseer out.
(Olly is just a whole new mood)
Well, the soldiers were also attacking my people. And as for your APC we can get you a replacement in 3 days, does that sound ok?
And one of them hit me with their, ...thing what ever you called it
Three days? We don't have that much, do you have something else we can use?
Is a jeep ok?
(Rubber duck privileges)
Suns suddenly collapses
Olly angrily glares at Suns, trying to cover Twigs’s ears.
Alright! You can pick up the keys at the post office just a few blocks from here!
(my guy just died)
Medical assistance has been called and will be here shortly...
... someone is tired or something happened to them
(Even Pages agrees that Olly can be temperamental)
Chary runs over to Suns and picks him up
Alrighty, you are fine-
“Thank you, ma’am- Suns?! Is he okay?” Twigs looks over to him.
Is this normal?
Suns basically got ripped partially open when the APC exploded
NOPE.
Understood, medical personnel should be here in just a minute.
So, we stay here for three days?
Mouse inspects Suns.
The Assistant runs up to Suns and looks worriedly at him
Again, with the worst timing.
Twigs gives a look of worry to Birsha. “…not sure Pages would appreciate that..”
Olly is mood.
I know, bad timing.
Why would a machine not appreciate that?
Machines can have feelings!!
Two men in medical uniform stop by with a stretcher
"Step asside, please."
You have free will
Chary grabs the Assistant and gets back, surprised
Sure, whatever
Twigs sighs. “I got pretty hurt yesterday.”
The men place sun on the stretcher and haul him towards an ambulance
"You need a ride?"
“…do we?” She looks at Chary.
'Sorry about not being there when you all needed.'
(just got home)
(Ok)
I say yes.
“Okay then..”
Mouse, can you take everybody else there?
Mouse nods, pointing a spear up to lead everyone else.
Chary hops in the ambulance
Twigs climbs in alongside Olly.
The ambulance drives off...
Mouse points to the ambulance and follows it, leading everyone else.
Birsha hops in
(weeeoooweeeoooweeooo)
While going towards the hospital, Mouse eventually gets a few other scavs following in confusion. Mouse doesn’t even know lmao.
(Guide on how to start a riot)
(Lmao)
(Are the creatures that slugcats usually face being driven out, captured, or ignored?)
(i think skrimshaw is afk)
(Ok)
(Uh oh, he's being donated.)
(ping me when we rp)
(Back)
"With the technology we have, he's gonna be just fine."
“..it’s pretty cool how only a week after we’re all back, this district’s sprung back to life immediately!.. I wonder if Pages will do the same, Chary?”
(@jolly goblet @pastel vale ping revenge.)
(Lmao)
Maybe so, I wish your friend the best.
(I'm so sorry, I don't think I can rp tonight, I have a lot of stuff going on and stress and there's too much
If I do somehow end up being on at all tonight it'll be pretty late)
(It’s ok!$
I doubt it, Pages probably doesn't have- a population like this one.
Chary seems uncomfortable around the other Ancients
The Overseer blinks, sitting near Twigs.
Twigs sighs. “Yeah, I guess you’re right.”
Chary shifts and lays the SMG on her lap, in view of the paramedics
"Do you have a good reason to have that on y-"
Excuse them.
"Understood."
The overseer inspects Suns, trying to see if he is okay.
I haven't exactly had much of a reason to trust others lately.
Suns has several bruises and a large gash on his side. Probably a few broken ribs too
Twigs seems worried. “Will it even be safe on the way back to Pages?”
"With our medical technology, he's going to be fine."
Outside the ambulance, some green lizards are basking in the sun.
Explain to me, how is it that in a week you managed to recover this much? Last I heard, we'd died out.
"We archived a lot of things before shit hit the fan. Plus its been more than a week, you guy's must've been living under a rock for quite some time."
"About... lets say almost half a year."
I only woke up about a week ago...
(we outside the ambulance?)
(you are, me and Twigs are inside)
(Inside)
(k)
How long will this ride take?
"About a few more minutes."
'I found something interesting here..'
Yea?
Twigs looks at Olly. “Olly, please don’t give me that look. I’m sure we can fix up your district.”
Olly is a moody thing.
' "Hanging doors" around...I can't enter these though, as if they was here, but out of reach...Paradoxical space?'
Wait, where are we taking about?
Yea, I dunno.
I think I got it.```
The stuff that made up Kurtis is gone which means he technically can't exist but if he can't exist then...
He's a paradox.
'...I don't really know, he's asleep and won't disturb him to figure out...Yet.'
(brb)
(k)
Sleeping is good, if he can get some rest it'll put him in a better state. Just make sure it isn't a coma.
Twigs looks at Chary. “Are you okay? You seem to be deep in thought.”
A side effect of... Spending too much time at a computer. You adapt to think too many things at once.
...Nice excuse.
Twigs nods. “I guess that’s true.”
“What do you think Mouse and the others are doing?”
Thats why it was a nice excuse.
Im good at that.
Olly shows a small hologram of a vulture eating a vulture grub.
Aaand they are shredded, I know. I did clean them twice while you were doing, whatever.
I've just sent you a fresh selection of clothing from a high quality brand.
They'll be here when its most convenient.
I.E. when I step into your box.
Not this time.
Maybe you can also send a really safe device that makes everybody super safe?
Oh god what did you do?
Anonymous-
"-donation for... you maam?"
What?
The paramedic hands you a box, "To Chary, from anonymous."
'< !? $[(([×<,% </.'
Yea...I agree...
“What’s anom-anomy-mus-anniemos… uh…” Twigs can’t say anonymous, lmao.
Where'd did this come from?
"Wil-n-stitch maam, a gift from a stranger."
Hmm.
Chary opens it
Its from a line called the "Funky kick up" collection that sports casual wear such has t-shirts, hoodies, shorts, and pants with mesmerizing designs.
Twigs looks at her. “What is it?”
The heck?
I'm not sure
No armor? I'm not exactly living a casual life anymore.
Sorry that I can't deliver tactical wear through security without getting looks from the security Zoops

(back what did I missed so far)
(Nothing too important)
(They got drip now)
Wait, YOU came and delivered it?
Not really...
Then how?
I delivered it via postal.
'...(<!=...×^!/ /^÷ ^÷((..'
Twigs looks into the box. “Huh, weird.”
(brb for a bit)
Cool...yea...
I don't understand.
Neither do I...
How long is this ambulance ride??
(How are the citizens reacting to the creatures? Like vultures, scavs, lizards, etc)
Just a few mo-
"Were here."
Nice.
Well well well.
Chary opens the back door
Twigs gets up, holding the overseer.
Mouse is already there, having lead the group plus a few other scavs. Mouse didn’t even comprehend the scavs that followed. “Is Suns okay?”
...'×÷<=#.'
The men roll out suns into the hospital
Twigs jumps out of the ambulance, a bit shaky with it considering what happened yesterday. “..leg is still sore..”
Chary checks her leg
It looks fine at the moment. I don't want to put too much on the workers here.
Twigs nods. “I know.. I’m fine.”
Ya know, right after we met each other I had to wait in the hospital for him. He blew up a blowtorch in his face. No scar, barely even any injuries.
Suns is in his room now, they'll tell you where he rests in a second.
he is in a coma
Twigs decides to sit down in a chair.
'< !? <, ! ]/!"÷ $>(( [$...,[/^<,%. ;>/ %/</"^÷@.'
Birsha gets out the ambulance
Can you translate?
DO YOU SPEAK IT!?```
Mouse walks in, some scavs following.
Chary goes up to the desk, looking like she has a headache
I have a friend in. Do you know how long he'll be in?
Twigs is simply sitting in the chair.
(OOOOOOOH WE’RE HALFWAY THERE, WOAHHHHH TWIGS IS IN A CHAIR)
"Three weeks, maam."
WHAT? I don't- is there any way you can speed it up?
"Sadly not, we apologize."
What happens if we have to leave him here?
"We'll inform you when hes in better condition."
Olly looks at Chary, blinking.
(Impatient little shi-)
We'll get there, just give us a day or two.
Twigs looks at Chary. “So we won’t see him for three weeks…?”
birsha goes in, he looks at Chary and walks up to her
If you want to find me, I be outside not far but nearby
Ight.
No, but knowing him he can probably take care of himslef.
Someone is with A Thousand Voices Of The Void...Its a bit glitchy though, and other shape that looks more like a shadow.
'^ @÷÷ @[?÷[,÷.'
What?
Birsha goes to the door then looks back at Chary and Twigs
if you want to talk, you can come with me if you are alone
Birsha whisper himself
Kinda a dumb idea to say, Cleary they not alone
Birsha walks out
*sounds of a rifle* IMMA GIVE YOU 3 SECONDS TO GWT THE FUCK OUTTA HERE.
"Maam, are you alright?"
')>=/<@. ...%[ [, .'
The shadow approaches something of it, like a microphone, and speak...Sounds like Kurtis.
'...We found that person you are speaking within.'
GET THE FUCK OUT!
Twigs looks at Chary, concern in her orange gaze. “Chary..?”
(brb)
'...No, we want explanations...What the hell is happening here?'
That glitched body stay in the front to protect Kurtis.
What is going on??
“..are you ok?”
Yeah.
Do you like ice cream?
We should probably find something here.
The Assistant reappears and sits down next to Chary
Twigs lifts her head. “It’s been a while since I’ve had any. But I like it!”
Chary heads outside the hospital and inspects the area
Twigs follows.
Mouse is just sitting there, trying to explain to the scavs that they don’t need to follow her.
The Assistant follows
Twigs looks at Chary. “I feel like Pages is busy a lot. Usually the overseer is dormant. This means something else has her attention at the moment.”
WHY THE HELL ARE YOU ASKING ME!?
'...Because we both can feel that something has changed and is off.'
'Look...I don't want problem...For the moment i just want to know what you are doing, or what is happening.'
'This is MY world...Or least was supposed to be by now...Where is the others?'
'Why these people was 'brought' back?'
LOOK, your friend, HOM, he gave his life to destroy the void worm and bring everyone back, this all happened because Chary broke the cycle of betraying the prophet near the end and suffering the same fate as me. This world ain't nobody's, and it sure as hell doesn't belong to YOU.
There, thats your answer. The ONLY answer I can give.
@pastel vale the pinger has been pinged)
(I HAD MY SOUND OFF IM SO SORRY(
Rip)
Wow.
Last message for Twigs was up here//
Then we might as well hurry, but we'll have to get some equipment or something first.
Chary looks around at the nearby buildings
“Okay. And probably that other vehicle the Caretaker said they’d lend us!”
Oh- that too.
Twigs points to some green overseers. “Maybe they know something!”
Chary goes up to the green overseers
Do you have a map of this place?
He looks to S.A.S.
'/=>÷ ... ;>/ <@ ?<@@<,% @[?÷/^<,% ... ^÷ @÷÷?@ /[[ "!>/<[>@.'
Kurtis thinks a bit...Then looks back.
'...I am not convinced you are saying all the truth...Otherwise you wouldn't be hiding and pointing that gun at our presence if things were alright...What if you have fault on it?'
One overseer points at a billboard nearby showing a map.
I'm only pointing this gun at you cause you came in here without warning. I am saying all the truth I know.
["EGGS! EGGS! E G G S ! E G G S !"]
(no map?)
(You have a map)
(oh wait i do)
The overseer gives a jokester face before pointing to Chary’s map.
(invintory:
-SMG
-Compass
-Map
-Box
-Assistant)
Oh- I forgot.
Chary looks at the map
(Pocket item, chewing gum)
Twigs giggled a little.
(WHAT IS NEAR ME)
(Pens... papers...uhh... things?)
'...HOM did not destroy the Void...It just became something else in a new shape...I can still feel it around.'
'...But...Okay then...You can drop it down...I...Ugh...Just feel strange here..'
(no like, are theyre any stores or something near me?)
Olly inspects the map before pointing to a nearby food stand.
The void is GONE said and done, the void is literally its name. It wasn't replaced at all, its gone.
(^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^)
(Ohhh, on the maaaap)
(Drugs)
(
)
(Yea there is a hotdog stand nearby)
(you is there)
(DONT YOU FUCKIN
ME WHEN YOU FORGOT YOU HAD A MAP)
Chary goes up to the stand
Whats the price for two?
"$3.99 since its a kid and an adult."
(IK BUT LIKE I SAID WHATS NEAR ME SOOOO MANYY TIMEESSS
)
Chary magically produces like $4
Here.
Twigs tries to touch the counter. Shortie.
(hotdogs- the solution to every mental crisis)
(Nice)
(btw are we on top Caretaker or on the ground)
(Care taker is in the cencter of district 724-b)
Chary grabs hotdogs and hands it to Twigs
Here, this should help.
Chary takes a small slice and gives it to the Assistant
Twigs smiles at Chary. “Thank you, Miss Chary.”
"Thank you maam, condiments are to your right."
(Ah yes, sliced hot dogs)
Oh god- please do not call me miss. Just Chary or Charybdis.
“Ok, Chary!”
(wait i have 4 now)
(HE WAS HANDING YOU THE TWO YOU PAID FOR)
' ^÷ "!,/ $÷÷( </ *>=/>@.'
'...Ah...Fair...Well...I guess is up to us all to find out where is this presence caming from...'
He decides to approach ATVOTV with his hands raised up.
'Look...I don't want issues here...I...Just want to set things here as how they should have stayed...Not this mess...'
'These people...They won't change..'
(HE DIDN'T HAND YOU THEM YET)
(I TOOK THEM)
(
)
(He takes them from Chary’s hands and gives them back to her lmao)
(lets just say he gave them)
*He lowers his gun* The fuck yea they'll change, most of em learned from their mistakes, only a few bad apples with little to no power are willing to try again.
Twigs goes over to get some 𝔎𝔢𝔱𝔠𝔥𝔲𝔭.
it's too high up
Twigs attempts to reach the 𝔎𝔢𝔱𝔠𝔥𝔲𝔭
'...The true bad apples wouldn't be that dumb to act instinctively...You will see what i mean about the madness that this place grew up.'
Sigh.
'...But...I will try to help...Again...I...Just hope my family and friends are okay..'
...I dunno if they're alive, but I can't confirm that they're gone either.
I have been kind of ignoring this, but who exactly is having a conversation in my head?
Chary hands her the kathcup
“Thanks!” Twigs puts some 𝔎𝔢𝔱𝔠𝔥𝔲𝔭 on her hot dog.
'...Its me...Kurtis...S.A.S guided me here...He can see through dimensional states...I can just feel and touch these.'
'...Okay...We're leaving...Worry not...I won't bring anyone else besides him, or Chary.'
I'm glad you're okay but where are you?
Stay gone... this place doesn't exist and if you stay here for as long as I have neither will you, your legacy, achivements, aspersions, expunged.
Laughing a bit.
'...I am already nothing to have any difference...S.A.S though is being affected...Probably i shouldn't bring him here unless needed.'
Kurtis is leaving with him.
Twigs tilts her head, not sure what Chary’s thinking about.
Chary noms her hotdog and heads for a nearby gear shop
Twigs is just following now.
And guess what? Mouse has somehow found money and is trying to ask a food stand what to use it for.
...What the fuck was that...
(Lol)
Something.
Chary suddenly arquires currency and buys a new jacket and a arm tablet
(something like these)
Chary goes up to Olly
Alright, if we can get ahold of Mouse then we should be able to head back to Pages. Sound good?
Olly nods, deciding to be patient like their Iterator.
Where are we going again.
Pages.
Ah, right.
The Assistant goes up to Mouse and points at Chary
Mouse nods, waving goodbye to the scavs and going over to Chary.
Okay, I have the keyes to the jeep, so we just need to get them.
Chary pulls out the map and points to a location where the jeep is
3 blocks away
w a l k
Twigs follows.
Mouse looks inside, amazed by the machinery and vehicles.
Yes, we did.
They toss you the keys
"Its the one behind garage number 241, numpad code is 7771, have a good day."
Chary catches it
Thanks.
Chary and the Assistant head to the garage
Birsha appear behind Chary, accidentally scaring them
WHA-
Mouse and Twigs look at Birsha, somewhat unamused.
What's wrong?
You appearing out of nowhere.
Twigs gave a small chuckle. “Heh, I think you scared Chary.”
Chary looks at Twigs
(
)
(Lol)
Oh, my bad. Get used to it I guess
Twigs looks at Chary.
(I expect twigs to)
Lmao)
Chary heads to the garage
She won’t start crying until she has a bad dream later)
Twigs follows. Mouse is resisting the urge to touch the vehicles.
Birsha follows Twigs behind
Chary opens the garage and enters the jeep, the Assistant crawls onto the gear shifter
(Silly scug, driving is for kids people!)
(brb)
Twigs climbs into a seat. She pulls Mouse in. The overseer lays down.
“Oh, hang on!” She pulls Birsha into the seat as well.
(Twigs: don’t mind if I do-!)
(DONT FORGET BIRHSA LMAO)
Don’t worry I got it-//
(Birsha is like, the loser of the group)
(brisha is kind of a jerk)
(that's my plan for him. Kinda)
(I forgot what brisha even looks like)
(Agressive yellin.)
Eventually, Twigs falls asleep in the Jeep. She has eaten the food that she and Chary got earlier and now she’s tired.
Chary continues driving through the rest of the day and night to get to Pages
After some time, Twigs doesn’t look well. She’s still asleep, but she looks somewhat disturbed.
So, exactly what are the extent of your powers?
Powers? Well its very limited, I can only make orders for stuff and thats it.
Really?
Kurtis start to manifest with S.A.S in the Jeep, both like as if they was leaving a transparent state...S.A.S body seem to be damaged, and both are asleep.
Yup.
Chary stops the jeep
W h a t?
YOU GOTTA STOP MANIFESTING OUT OF NOWHERE
The Assistant stiirs
...Kurtis wake up...He seems dizzy, perhaps this time he slept.
...Oh..
Twigs seems to be having a bad dream.
Can you PLEASE give us some warning before you appear?
The Assistant notices this and crawls next to Twigs and lays down next to them
(Birsha is like saint but eyes are black and wide open with X as pupil that switch colour slowly. Yellow ,Blue. I do have a ref for him but is not cannon to the rp)
Kurtis: Sigh...Then looks away.
...Sorry...S.A.S was glitched up when i left that place we went...I'm not with my gear either.
Glitch- Chary sighs
Alright. I'm glad you're fine. We're almost to Pages, we should be there right at dawn.
Twigs suddenly just awakens, gasping for air, her eyes widened in some kind of horror.
(And became true.)
Twigs looks down, seemingly terrified. “…I… I was there again.. I just saw a whole sea of echoes…”
Tell the poor kid the void sea aint there no more...
A sea?
The Assistant crawls back to her
Twigs gave a shaky nod of her head. “..I don’t want to die again, Chary… I don’t wanna be an echo again..”
The sea is gone now. You won't be one again
Hey- it's okay. There isn't any real way there.
Kurtis: His expression soften a bit when he sees Twigs...Despite his hear of the Ancients, he is risking to empathize.
...Ey...
He tries to reach a hand.
You're fine...Don't worry about it..
The ancient sniffles a little, looking at all of them. “..a-are you sure?”
Very.
Kurtis: He pets Twigs head a bit.
...Yeah...You will be okay..
Twigs wipes a small tear. “O-okay..”
The overseer rests near Twigs, not really sure how to help comfort her. Pages was better at comforting someone in person than when using an overseer.
(Voices on Chair head.)
I'll get us moving again, we'll be at Pages soon.
How soon?
“..okay.”
Kurtis: He looks at Chary...Then shakes his head, approaching to whisper to her.
...It might be still here...But...This is a child, right?
Yes.
About when the sun comes up.
Chary starts the car and it begins driving through the forest again
Twigs is staying awake. She doesn’t wanna go back to sleep.
(When you see her district’s walls)
(yes)
Kurtis: He looks back at Twigs...Then approaches them, hugging and petting during the way.
As the sun rises Page's district walls become visible through the forest
Twigs looks at Kurtis. “You’re.. a really nice Slugcat.”
The car runs low on gas
It has become apparent that some work was done at the District. A lot of overseers are busy making sure the wall looks nicer and.. well, less-abandoned. Olly is excited to be here.
(Coffin time.)
(COFFIN!?)
(LMAO)
Birsha looks outside the window, He doesn't look amused but rather a bit sadden by something
Mouse looks at Birsha. “You ok?”
The car begins to sputter to a stop outside of Page's
(Just making coffee.)
Twigs looks outside the Jeep, pleased to see the District Piers again.
Yeah just... Some thoughts in my mind
“Ok,” Mouse replies.
The trees rustle...rustle...rustle...
Seems windy.
Man, is this vest comfy.
Chary turns off the engine and pockets the keys and her SMG before hopping out.
Twigs jumps out, looking at Olly. Olly seems weirdly excited to show the group the District.
She is immediately immobilized, her items stolen, and everyone else taken hostage
(..you’re joking, right?)
(No)
(Son of a bi-)
(By who????)
They seem to be a group of armed scavs gone rouge
"GRRUUAAHH!!!"
Kurtis: His eyes widen.
Wha!
"Uuaahhgg... UAAAHHH!"
Chary just kinda collapses
Twigs widens her eyes. “W- hey!!”
Olly’s eye widens, before it glares at whoever is trying to take them.
Mouse attempts to communicate with the scavs, signing ‘STOP! STOP THIS!’.
(wtf, mouse do you thing. calm them down)
(She was trying)
The Assistant freaks out and hides on top of the pedals of the jeep
The car is out of gas
Mouse attempts to break free.
Twigs kicks a scavenger in the ouch.
Chary gets up and sprints to the nearest Scav
Electric shock

S.A.S is quite...Heavy to just be taken by one Scav.
UNFASED
(
)
Chary falls unconscious from the shock
Shutt up...
(Too late for that)
GET THE FUCK UP!
your eyes adjust to the light as you sit in a oile of dirt
(wait are we getting kidnapped?)
Congrats! You've been ransacked!
(Oh boy now Pages will REALLY be pissed.)
Do not worry, Ive hot supplies for you on the way.
Chary gets up
The fu...
Twigs gets up, looking around. “w-where did they go?!”
Birsha stays in the jeep, Don't know what to do
I don't know.
Where's Mouse?
Kurtis: Sighs, startled.
...If only Sunny was here..
(stolen)
(HE. Birsha is a boy)
(Kurtis not having anything: Wheeze.)
Olly looks extremely pissed now.
All I have is my jacket...
Twigs looks at Chary and Olly.
Chary gets up
Wait here, trust me, I know where I can get some things.
Chary sprints out of sight
When it's convenient... like a convienience store?
S.A.S wake up.
S.A.S: His holographical eyes are a bit glitched.
...Ugh..
🟰
