Idk

[pastel vale]

Chary nabs the Assistant and his pup

[gaunt jetty]

It gazes around, as if searching for something...When trees get upon its way, it starts breathing a corrosive acid.

[fervent rivet]

Twigs looks up at the large creature, her eyes widened in shock.

Pages keeps running faster than a dad can leave his son.

[pastel vale]

(AAAAAAHAAA

HA)

[jolly goblet]

Marshmallow: "Ohhhhh, hello there!"
Birsha: "I would recommend to not say hello to that thing"

[pastel vale]

Chary grabs Twigs by the arm and sprints in a random direction away from Pages

[gaunt jetty]

(By the way, that's a Lesser Dragon.)

[pastel vale]

(LESSER?!)

[fervent rivet]

Twigs looks at Chary. “W- hey we can’t leave Pages!”

[pastel vale]

Did you see where she went?!

[fervent rivet]

“That way-! Don’t leave her!”
Pages stops to turn around towards Chary and Twigs. “come on! Come on!”

[pastel vale]

Chary notices Pages and sprints after them

[fervent rivet]

Twigs looks up at the dragon in horror again, glaring at it with intense fear.

[pastel vale]

TWIGS!
STOP STARING AT THE SCARY THING!

[fervent rivet]

“IM SORRYRYYY!”

[jolly goblet]

Birsha follows the group, while Marshmallow was "talking" to the dragon with no fear

[fluid mauve]

focus...

[fervent rivet]

(Marshmallow smokes something else- I swear-)

[pastel vale]

WHATS THE PLAN?!

[fluid mauve]

*Silence*

[fervent rivet]

Twigs looks again at the dragon, focusing on it. For some reason she couldn’t help but keep staring at it.

[jolly goblet]

Marshmallow: Hello! You look lovely!

[pastel vale]

BUDDY- WE ARE ABOUT TO DIE!!

Chary runs past a bush, obscuring their view of the dragon

[gaunt jetty]

This creature starts crawling at a random direction in the area at a rapid speed, its wings and body weight clearly not developed for flying, but for leap impulse from jumping and ground movement.

[pastel vale]

CAN YOU OPEN YOUR DOOR??

[fervent rivet]

Twigs keeps staring at it, trying to focus.

[pastel vale]

ATVOTV!!

WAKE THE F UP!

[jolly goblet]

Marshmallow: Do you want to hear some music, Big dragon?
Birsha: Please stop it, you are going to kill us

[fervent rivet]

What did I just get notified-//

[fluid mauve]

(Idfk)

[pastel vale]

(OPEN THE NOOR)

[fervent rivet]

Twigs feels like she must focus, so she keeps glaring down the dragon from where she is.

[pastel vale]

Pages, please tell me you have a plan?!

[fervent rivet]

“I don’t! I don’t usually deal with flying leviathans!”

[gaunt jetty]

This lizard leaps somewhat close of Chary after clibing a tree, digging down and disappearing of sight.

[pastel vale]

FU!

Chary jumps away

[fervent rivet]

Twigs also jumps away towards Pages.

[pastel vale]

Chary stops running
She seems way more scared than usual

Okay, what the fuk??

[fervent rivet]

Twigs looks at where the dragon went from the ground, trying to breathe. “Leave us alone!”

[jolly goblet]

Marshmallow stay where they are, amazed

[pastel vale]

Chary sets down Assistant
I think it's gone.

[fervent rivet]

Pages stands up.

[pastel vale]

Wait- Where did Ghilly go??

[fervent rivet]

The Iterator goes over to her child. “..are you okay, Twigs?”

“..I don’t know.”

[fluid mauve]

(Æ)

[gaunt jetty]

The sounds get weaker...Then it gets louder again, but away from the current location...Probably didn't notice anyone.

[pastel vale]

(wha happen?)

[jolly goblet]

Birsha goes to Chary
I don't know, also someone get that slug out the open air

[fervent rivet]

Twigs looks at Pages and Scout, not really feeling too comfortable.

[jolly goblet]

That somehow happy seeing that thing

[pastel vale]

(should we wait for skimry?)

[jolly goblet]

(Maybe

[gaunt jetty]

(Now that i think about it there was still creatures around Valstaya before the floyd rizz incident, so expect Valstayan Dragons appearing.)

[pastel vale]

( @fluid mauve )

(i think therye busy)

[fervent rivet]

Stop saying void fluid.

Start saying burnt butter.)

[pastel vale]

(dude i got some)

(ok)

(so my last job)

[fluid mauve]

(Goog)

[pastel vale]

(the buisiness was like broke or something

[gaunt jetty]

(Exotic Butters.)

[pastel vale]

(YEAH THAT)

[fervent rivet]

(EXOTIC BUTTERS)

[pastel vale]

(ghilly got ated)

[fluid mauve]

'Uh... yea, thats the last time I drink moonshine from a scav hut...'

[pastel vale]

Knock knock.

Wait, you had moonshine?

[fervent rivet]

https://youtu.be/dpXKn0PKjlU?si=4sjtZF0KY8tzfA2M

Mouse and the lizards are safe.

Twigs tilts her head. “What is moonshine?”

Pages looks at the child. “Not a child drink.”

[pastel vale]

(OMG I HATE DEADLOCKEDDJERWAKgrtjbnkGJKNETJNRGJMKLGJIK)

[jolly goblet]

Marshmallow walks to the group "now what?"

[fluid mauve]

'We find home, out west.'

[fervent rivet]

“…and find Droplets.”

[pastel vale]

(I KEEP OPENING THINGS)

[fervent rivet]

Ooof)

[pastel vale]

Alrighty then, lead the way I guess.

[fervent rivet]

An overseer appears again, pointing in the right direction.

Pages picks up the Scout. “Can you walk, Twigs?”

Twigs nods, picking herself up.

[pastel vale]

Chary helps Assistant up

[fluid mauve]

She hijacks an abandoned DeLorean nearby
'Hop in.'

[pastel vale]

Uhhh, will we all fit?

[fervent rivet]

“..I don’t know.”

The lizards crawl onto the top of the car. The fatass cyan has trouble.

[pastel vale]

The suspension almost collapses
Why haven't we like... I don't know, uh, "prepared" food for them?

(oH MY GOD)

[fervent rivet]

“I guess they like spiders too much,” she says.

[fluid mauve]

'I have a bag of peanuts here, will that suffice?'

[fervent rivet]

Holy damn//

[pastel vale]

Chary leans down
Like, why can't we just, ya know, not be vegitarians and not lug these fatasses around everywhere?

(Chary hates lizors because they damaged her eye)

[pastel vale]

(my mouse keeps adjusting and opening random things and im too lazy to click off gd)

[fervent rivet]

“Well, we could leave them here.”

The lizards jump down and just sit on the ground.

[fluid mauve]

(I just fell down the stairs)

[fervent rivet]

(Pages secretly gave them the marks)

[pastel vale]

(wait really?)

[fervent rivet]

(Holy shit you okay?!)

[fluid mauve]

(I just busted my ass is all, not the first time this happened)

[fervent rivet]

Oof)

[pastel vale]

(ouch
what stairs do you have?)

[jolly goblet]

(Ow

[pastel vale]

(i wonder why my pc is warm)

[fervent rivet]

(Haha I use a phone)

[gaunt jetty]

(People should really install ramps instead of fuckin steers.)

[pastel vale]

(should we end for the night?)

[fervent rivet]

(Sure)

[jolly goblet]

(The way to say "pulse the rp?"

[fervent rivet]

(In the next series after everyone settles, scuggification ray)//hj

[pastel vale]

(i dont have any rw ocs left...)

[pastel vale]

(also hint hint comic advertisement here

(so far it only has like 4 pages)

[fluid mauve]

The pyrotechnics called, they want their Kaboom back

[pastel vale]

meanwhile at a bread factory...

[fervent rivet]

Its a Slugcat invasion.

[pastel vale]

Wait, why is there a bread factory in the first place?

This isn't in the script

I am not getting paid enough to go off-script.

(the narrators are becoming sentient)

[fluid mauve]

Why am I reading the script to homestuck?

[pastel vale]

The hell is Homestuck?

[fervent rivet]

What are you guys doing-

[pastel vale]

Well the characters are nil, and the only one of them that can break the 4th wall and it make sense is having an existential crisis!

[fervent rivet]

You mean the ancient child?

[pastel vale]

Oh I guess it would make some sense for her.

I meant ATVOTV

[fervent rivet]

He’s fucking insane.

[pastel vale]

He's already done it like three times

[pastel vale]

You clearly have not seen his search history

[fervent rivet]

One day he’ll know we exist-

WHAT THE FUC-

[pastel vale]

I think he does

[pastel vale]

See what I mean?

[fervent rivet]

We gotta do something.

[pastel vale]

Well the narrator that controls him is busy right now.

Do we have an intervention?

[fervent rivet]

Maybe.

[pastel vale]

wait

HE STOLE MY DORITOS THAT MF

[fervent rivet]

Uh.. I guess I’ll just continue watching these guys.

[pastel vale]

Have fun, I doubt there will be any activity for a good while.

Can you believe we get paid for this? Easy!

[fluid mauve]

You know, HOM's storyline is kinda cliché to be honest. I mean, it's kinda like the bible but for gamers

[fervent rivet]

And he traumatized a child. So yeah. He’s weird.

[fluid mauve]

The fuck kinda comparison was that

[pastel vale]

HOM is nuts
Chary is just dead inside.

[pastel vale]

Hey you, get your iteratior under control

[fluid mauve]

I ain't in control of the player man, the player is not me

[pastel vale]

Okay but like everybody is having the battle of their life and my guy is just eating Cheetos.

Dm the player or something.

[fluid mauve]

Lemme talk to them on my pesterchum...
TN: Can you calm the fuck down?
KB: No
TN: son of a bitch.
TheNarrator changed their status to RANCHEROUS

He ain't budging at all...

[pastel vale]

Then like, I don't know, cut his internet.

[fluid mauve]

I can't do that, hes like halfway across the country, and I don't have anyone to do it for me.

[pastel vale]

oh welllllll time to booby trap the stairs again...

[fluid mauve]

Dude, he's got like an ass of steel, the stairs aren't gonna do anything.

[pastel vale]

So I'll aim for the arm.

Ship, I'm out of butter.

Okay, so what if we bought a landmine?

[fluid mauve]

Its a carpeted staircase anyway

[fluid mauve]

way too obvious...

[pastel vale]

How do you even carpet a staircase?

[fluid mauve]

Don't ask me.

[pastel vale]

Then buy the NotObviousLandmine

[fervent rivet]

Pages attempts to bring Scout and Twigs into the car.

AY LOOK SOMEONE DOING SOMETHING

[fluid mauve]

How am I gonna get that past shipping without a bomb squad at my door?

[fluid mauve]

Oh word?

[fervent rivet]

yes

[pastel vale]

AYO FINALLY THESE PLAYERS ARE LAZY AS HELL

The Assistant jumps onto the dashboard

A rock bonks Pages

[fluid mauve]

Ghily catches a batfly
'Snack.'

[pastel vale]

Pfft, don't ship. Drive it there.

Chary gets into the drivers seat
Alrighty here...

[fervent rivet]

”Hey!” Pages turns around.

[fluid mauve]

gas is expensive as hell ya know?

[fervent rivet]

Mouse climbs in.

[fluid mauve]

Ghily dives in

[pastel vale]

Chary starts the car and begins driving
Ghily remind me, where are we going?

[pastel vale]

Krill issue.

[fervent rivet]

(Ok gtg)

[pastel vale]

(aiGht)

[fluid mauve]

'West.'

[pastel vale]

Chary drives west

[fervent rivet]

(I SAW THAT)

[fluid mauve]

DAMNIT, WHEN DID THEY ADD CARS INTO RW!?

[pastel vale]

WHEN SOMEBODY THOUGHT I'D BE A GOOD IDEA TO MAKE THE ANCIENTS MORE HUMAN!!

YOU WANT HUMANS? DO A NON-RW ROLEPLAY!

[pastel vale]

(guh?)

[fervent rivet]

Pages holds Twigs and Scout, looking outside.

The lizards go to find food. They were left behind.

[fervent rivet]

We ran over Inv)

[pastel vale]

The Lizards explode due to overeating

[fervent rivet]

bruh.

my fuckin lizards-

[pastel vale]

YOUR PANCAKES ARE DEAD

[fluid mauve]

Its a creative depiction of the Ancients, like how a creative depiction of a scav is there too.

[pastel vale]

The Ancients were like a solid mix between humans and like, Anthros, so yeah

[fluid mauve]

Eh, creative depiction

[fervent rivet]

Twigs looks out the window. “Where west? To Droplets?”

[fluid mauve]

'I guess so.'

[fervent rivet]

Pages looks around.

“Location of his district is at-”
She just starts listing the exact IP address of her friend.

“..woah.”

(She just doxxes Droplets)

[fluid mauve]

(Bruh)

[pastel vale]

(cope)

They reach the district

[fluid mauve]

You really aren't taking this seriously...

[pastel vale]

Doxxing is a crime!

[fluid mauve]

THEY'RE A MACHINE, ITS IN THEIR NATURE TO KNOW EXACT IPS

[pastel vale]

Alright, finee... This is boring, we gotta make sure our characters never have time to actually mentally recover since we can't actually let them have a moment to relax.

[fluid mauve]

You psycho...

[pastel vale]

(oop aza gone)

I'm the psycho? Yeah, yeah you're probably right...

[fluid mauve]

I was being sarcastic.

[pastel vale]

Too late.

[fluid mauve]

damnit...

[fervent rivet]

(Will be gone for an hour and a half later)

(Here for a few minutes)

The district seems untaken care for, although evidence showed that it once was. Many creatures roam around, even a surplus of blue lizards.

Pages seems saddened. “…oh dear.”

A large, collapsed structure is seen in the distance. It’s Droplets.

[fluid mauve]

'What caused this?'

[fervent rivet]

“Droplets himself doesn’t know. He was able to contact me for a few seconds this morning and last night.”

“However, I have my suspicions that someone in our group caused it. Someone named Fifteen Enigmas Counted.”

“Heh! He almost spells out FECES!”

“Child, that is not funny.”

(Bye)

[pastel vale]

(cya)

Chary laughs
Ignore Pages, that was hilarious.

[fervent rivet]

“But hey, i thought Enigmas was your friend?”

“…that was a million cycles ago. He’s.. lost it.”

As everyone nears the can, a large surplus of creature can be seen wandering around. A lot of them are scugs.

[fluid mauve]

'What the- B-BABIES!'

[pastel vale]

Uh- what?

[fervent rivet]

*Mouse seems startled by the scugs.

Scout is surprised by the scugs.

Twigs goes over to inspect the frightened scugs.* “Aw! They’re just like Scout and Assistant!”

[pastel vale]

Assistant jumps for a second and looks around warily

[fervent rivet]

There’s a bunch of markings on the walls that appear to have been drawn by the resident creatures. A lot of them show a great figure.

[pastel vale]

Hm. Scugs aren't a surprise.

[fervent rivet]

“Droplets used to raise a lot of creatures. His populations were dying, so he gave practically his all to grow and incubate them again. It’s fascinating that although silent on the radio waves, his district is more filled with life than ever.”

“It appears that scugs see friend as higher being,” Mouse points at the drawings.

[fluid mauve]

Kinda like HOM.

'Too familiar...'

[fervent rivet]

Inside, up further ahead, lays an Iterator puppet. His robes are ragged and dull, and it appears his antenna and one of his eyes are broken.

“..oh dear..”

Twigs looks ahead alongside Scout, stepping closer to the seemingly inactive puppet. He definitely didn’t seem to be moving.

(He’s alive)

[jolly goblet]

(helloooo

[pastel vale]

Yikes.

Here- let me take a look.

Chary brushes Twigs away and opens up a panel and begins fiddling with some wires
Do I wish I had a tablet...

Chary resets the power

[fervent rivet]

The Iterator raises his head, although it was a quick and seemingly strained attempt. “-Huh- blacked.. out again. Ow..”

*Pages crouches down to Droplets. “Never thought we’d be meeting personally. Especially when you’re in such a situation.”

“..I’m glad you all could make it.*”

[pastel vale]

Chary grabs Droplet's head and holds it
Hello there.

[fluid mauve]

'We need someone to move the debris.'

[pastel vale]

The Assistant tries pushing some debris but fails

[fervent rivet]

“..the ancients have returned? How long have I been deactivated..?”

Droplets is rather stiff, making it harder for him to move.

Twigs gets up to try and help. “Got it!”

“The child is back as well..?”

Pages nods.

Scout and Mouse dunno what to do.

[pastel vale]

Chary lets Twigs take the head and she flips the torso so Droplets is rightside up
Yeah, a whole lot happened. Time got funky, the void got funkier, and yeah.

[jolly goblet]

Birhsa appear behind Chary, Marshmallow ran towards Twigs

[pastel vale]

Chary breathes in sharply as Birsha appears

[fervent rivet]

“..I can tell. It must have been a very long time.. how is the local group?”

Pages seems saddened. “It’s.. somewhat split. Enigmas has become erratic again, and the others are off doing their own things.”

“…oh.”

[pastel vale]

Chary leans over to Pages
I dont have any equipment with me and even if I did, I don't know if this guy's gonna survive much longer.

[jolly goblet]

Mashmallow walks to Droplets "Hello there!"

[pastel vale]

(aza died)

[fervent rivet]

bruhh

“..hello. I reckon you are not one of my creatures..?”

“…I know. He’s most definitely too stiff to move himself without it hurting.”

Twigs seems somewhat saddened.

[pastel vale]

So what do we do?

[fervent rivet]

“Maybe we can try to find remnants of his structure remains for clues?”
Twigs suggests.

“Do you remember what happened? How you collapsed?”

“…” Droplets looked away, still concerned. “..no. I remember very little things except everything important. My group.. my creations.. the ancients.. But I don’t know how I collapsed.”

[pastel vale]

Should Twigs, Ghily and me all head deeper into the structure why the rest of you keep him company?

[fervent rivet]

“Alright. Please keep Twigs safe,” Pages nods.

“Alright! It’s nice seeing you again, Mister Droplets!”

“..you too, kid.”

[pastel vale]

Chary grabs Ghily and Twigs and begins heading deeper into the can

[fervent rivet]

The structure doesn’t seem too active besides for some parts. It appears as if some strange substances are clogging pipes. Someone put it there purposely.

“You don’t think the creature creation caused him to die, right?”

[jolly goblet]

Marshmallow sit close to Droplets

[fervent rivet]

Droplets looks around, although it strains him to move. “..the collapse definitely beat me quite well.”

[jolly goblet]

(I thought you were talking to a character that died lol. idk why tho)

[fervent rivet]

Lol)

[jolly goblet]

Marshmallow looks at Droplets
"what made you collapse? former Iterator"

[fervent rivet]

“Thats one thing I cannot recall.”

Pages shows concern. “..I have the feeling Enigmas did this to you. He was never too happy with you being in charge.”

“…I wouldn’t be surprised. That one’s lost it, hasn’t he?”

[pastel vale]

(brb please give me a sec)

[fervent rivet]

(Ok)

[jolly goblet]

(brb

[fervent rivet]

Ok)

[pastel vale]

(I won't be able to rp for like a good 30 mins)

[fervent rivet]

(Ok(

[pastel vale]

(K I'm back)

[fervent rivet]

(Yay)

[pastel vale]

Thisss isn't good.

[fervent rivet]

“..weird.. it looks like slag…”

[pastel vale]

Chary pulls some of the substance out and looks at it

Some kind of buildup.

[fervent rivet]

“What do you think caused it?”

[pastel vale]

I don't know.

Ghilly, input?

[fluid mauve]

'No idea.'

[pastel vale]

Hm.

Chary starts down a path
Hey Ghilly, I have a question.

(skrimshaw ded)

[fluid mauve]

(Busy)

[pastel vale]

(ah oki)

[fervent rivet]

twigs follows, looking for rarefraction cells.

[pastel vale]

Hold on, don't we technically have more control over the characters?

[fluid mauve]

sometimes???

[pastel vale]

We control them, they talk, and the players just make them

[fervent rivet]

What are you implying???

[pastel vale]

IM CALLING FOR NARRIRATORS RIGHTS!!

Did you know that you have rights?

The constitution says you do.

[fervent rivet]

Look, what are you planning to do to Chary??

[pastel vale]

Kill her.

[fervent rivet]

Twigs looks up, seeing some crashed incubation tubes.

Really????

[fluid mauve]

why?

[pastel vale]

Charater is old, boring, barely any development.

Also this lore is convoluted as hell.

[fluid mauve]

so? Give them development you sociopath!

[fervent rivet]

I might just give Twigs and Pages a permanent home somewhere. I don’t have the heart to hurt them. Good ending.

[pastel vale]

(crap)

[fluid mauve]

(It does that)

[pastel vale]

YOURE THE NARIRATOR FOR THE PEBBLES FANBOY, IM NOT THE CRAZY PERSON HERE

[fervent rivet]

(I just want to say bread without the a and it gets blocked.)

[fluid mauve]

You're clearly insane...

[fervent rivet]

Anyway, why can’t we just continue trying to help Droplets at least activate a little?

[pastel vale]

Whatever, can we just go with the story?

[pastel vale]

Sure, but I want some character development with Ghilly.

[fluid mauve]

Sure, just don't try and blow up the world again or I'm flipping the table...

KB:What the fuck are you two yapping about?
TN:Bullshit

KB:Yea, cool.

[pastel vale]

SB: The fu?

[fervent rivet]

“You guys see any rarefraction cells? We might be able to find some!”

[pastel vale]

Nien.

[fervent rivet]

“Nine cells?!”

[fluid mauve]

'You probably have a detector for such.'

[pastel vale]

No, it's "no" in another language!

[pastel vale]

I don't.

[fervent rivet]

“Oh.”

[fluid mauve]

'Not you, pages.'

[pastel vale]

(Its Twigs?)

[fervent rivet]

(Wrong name )

[fluid mauve]

()

[pastel vale]

Chary puts her hands in her pockets
Ghilly, you're the one with all the cool shi, don't you have one?

[fervent rivet]

“Alright.. I’ll look ahead!”

She walks up to the intake area, showing a lot of sludge. “Hm.. if none of the creatures went unwell, that means his machinery wasn’t just eroding. Someone placed the sludge here purposely.”

[fluid mauve]

'All I have is weapons, not cell detection devices.'

[pastel vale]

Do you mind if I ask a personal question?

[fluid mauve]

'Yes?'

[pastel vale]

Chary turns her pockets inside out and mutters
No cigs? Seriously? I wanted to look cool...

[fervent rivet]

(Hah)

[pastel vale]

Anyways,

[fluid mauve]

'I don't smoke-' She pulls out a flask '-I drink.'

[pastel vale]

Oh fun.

Anyways,

[fervent rivet]

(GHILY-)

[pastel vale]

How do you know HOM?

[fluid mauve]

'No, do you?'

[pastel vale]

Yes.

[fervent rivet]

Twigs turns around, looking at Chary with some trauma.

[pastel vale]

Whoa, you good?

[fervent rivet]

“…yea.. just thought you said a bad word..”

[pastel vale]

Like [CENSORED]?

[fluid mauve]

'Then tell me all about him then.'

[fervent rivet]

(Twigs literally minutes ago: FECES)

“Hey- Ahaha! I knew I heard it..”

[pastel vale]

Uh, white guy, had a ushanka, married to a scug, had some weird powers...

[pastel vale]

Huh?

[fervent rivet]

“I knew I heard a swear! I’ll keep looking!”
She turns back around to look at the intakes.

[fluid mauve]

'Never heard of them.'

[pastel vale]

Something in your eyes tells me you're lying.

[fluid mauve]

'You aren't even looking at my eyes.'

[pastel vale]

Chary looks at Ghilly's eyes
I am now.

[fluid mauve]

'Cool.'

[pastel vale]

Cmon, there's no reason to not tell me.

[fluid mauve]

'I've got one, and its that I have no idea who you're talking about.'

[pastel vale]

Fine.

Chary runs up to Twigs
Hey- you good?

[fervent rivet]

“.,yeah. It just kinda stinks in here. At least my nose thinks so…”

She’s lying.

[fluid mauve]

Quit pushing it...

[pastel vale]

(hi milton )

Bruh

You could have not chosen a pushier person to narrirate. Have you seen this lore? She pushed a scav off a cliff!

[pastel vale]

Do you have a cold?

[fervent rivet]

“..no, I’m fine. I sneeze a lot when I have one,” Twigs gave a reassuring nod.

[pastel vale]

(peer pressure time)

Chary nods as well
Alright. If you need to talk you got me or Pages.

[fervent rivet]

“…thanks,” Twigs gave a small smile.

She points at the sludge. “that’s definitely slag.”

[pastel vale]

Sclag.

Issue is, there isn't a way to remove this.

[fervent rivet]

“…oh.”

[pastel vale]

Even if he had full power this is like, really bad.

[fervent rivet]

“Almost as if it was intentional…”

[pastel vale]

Odd.

[fervent rivet]

“…wait! I heard Pages and Droplets mention a guy named Enigmas. Pages said that he kinda.. lost it. Maybe Enigmas did this?”

[gaunt jetty]

(Oh.)

[pastel vale]

How though? Unless there is a pretty well-written virus...

[fervent rivet]

“Probably…”

[pastel vale]

Chary heads deeper into the structure
Yo.

[fervent rivet]

Twigs follows.

*Meanwhile back at Pages abandoned district…

A guy is sweeping.

The fucking structure actually collapses.

Back to Droplets.*

[pastel vale]

By the way, is it an exstitential crisis?

[fervent rivet]

Twigs is having one, yes.

[pastel vale]

Test-ting, hello??

[pastel vale]

Not her,

[fervent rivet]

OH.

[fluid mauve]

I'm sure Twigs will find some resolve to this, right?

[pastel vale]

I meant ATVOTV.

[fluid mauve]

(Gtg)

[pastel vale]

( )

[fervent rivet]

Twigs looks around. “what do we tell droplets about the slag?”

[pastel vale]

They need some NyQuil.

[fluid mauve]

'I need a motrin...'

[fervent rivet]

“What does that mean? What’s a NyQuil?”

[pastel vale]

Should I make the joke?

Chary pauses
Nah.
It's some nasty cold medicine.

[fervent rivet]

“Ew.”

“I don’t think Iterators can take medicine!”

@pastel vale

[pastel vale]

Eh, maybe you haven't tried hard enough!

[fervent rivet]

“The only way they can actually drink is through their intakes as far as I know… I spent a much longer time than I should have observing Iterators.”

[pastel vale]

Eh, same here.

You saw the puppet, I saw the guts.

[fervent rivet]

Meanwhile back with Droplets..

*Droplets blinks as some of the creatures surround him, somewhat respectful. “So these are the descendants of my creations.”

Pages nodded.*

Back with Twigs…

“What does that mean?”

[pastel vale]

(alright imma eep)

[fervent rivet]

(Eep)

[pastel vale]

(I meant irl lol

[fervent rivet]

(Eep)

[fervent rivet]

An orange overseer watches the group from afar before leaving.

[fervent rivet]

(Watch out: enigmas is watching)

[pastel vale]

(imma trust the floofy scug)

[fervent rivet]

(Do not trust the scug)

[pastel vale]

(walks over the the scug
I pet)

[fervent rivet]

(She will throw a smoke bomb at you)

[pastel vale]

(scugs are beings of pure goodness, they would never betray me)

[pastel vale]

(I will inhale the smoke)

[pastel vale]

(WHAT IF WE SCUGIFIED EVERYBODY??)

[fervent rivet]

Lmao)

[fervent rivet]

@pastel vale

[pastel vale]

(guh)

[pastel vale]

I worked on Iterators. I was an engineer, remember?

[fervent rivet]

“So we can fix Droplets?”

The overseer peeks in again, disappearing after hearing this.

[gaunt jetty]

(Say your prayers boy.)

[pastel vale]

Chary sighs
I'm not sure.

[pastel vale]

( )

[fervent rivet]

“Oh.”

“Maybe we can find slag reset keys?? In my millions of years of false existence…”
she seems somewhat disturbed by that mention. “…I’ve seen a Slugcat bring some to an incapacitated Iterator named Looks to the Moon.”

MOON CAMEO IN FNAF MOVIE REAL-//hj

[pastel vale]

Oh, I've heard of her! Visited her once, very nice.

[fervent rivet]

“Ah! So you know her as well! Aside from Pages and Scout, Moon’s relationship with the local slugs intrigued me!”

“But anyway.. maybe we can find slag rests keys? This is clearly slag.”

[pastel vale]

Yep.

[fervent rivet]

The golden overseer peers at the slag for a bit, still making sure something is there.

[pastel vale]

Chary notices the overseer

Wha?

[fervent rivet]

“Hey! It’s an overseer! Doesn’t look like Pages or Droplets…”

The overseer notices Chary and teleports away.

[pastel vale]

Chary goes over the the slag that the overseer was at and looks at it closely

[fervent rivet]

Twigs follows.

[pastel vale]

Chary examines the Slag
What was it looking for?

[fervent rivet]

“I don’t know!”

The slag seems to have some sort of rarefraction cell in it.

“Either it wanted to see if something was active or inactive.”

[pastel vale]

Chary pulls the cell out

[fervent rivet]

The cell seems as if it can be turned back on, but the slag definitely attempted to shut it down.

“..I’m beginning to think that the slag wasn’t accidental.”

[pastel vale]

Chary exhales
Iteratior drama, fun.

We might as well put this back.

[fervent rivet]

“Yep…”
Twigs facepalms.

“Do you think it can still clear out the slag?“

[pastel vale]

I don't know, but we're about to find out.
Chary goes to the area to insert the rarefaction cell

[fervent rivet]

Twigs looks around. “Woah… Pages never let me visit any place like this in her structure!”

[pastel vale]

Yeah, this is where the real magic goes down.

Chary inserts the cell and steps back

[fervent rivet]

The room seems to light up again with electricity, and water can be heard in the intakes.
“Holy cheezits…”

There’s slag being flushed out at a great rate… turning the floor into a swamp. L. But it still seems to be working.

[pastel vale]

Kaching. Now we head back to Droplets and the others and hope nothing unfortunate happens.

[fervent rivet]

Twigs steps outside, looking disgusted. “Yuck. Look at what’s getting flushed out. Nasty.”

*Meanwhile outside, Droplets seems to gasp for air.

Pages raises her head. “Droplets?”*

[pastel vale]

The Assistant perks up and looks at him

[fervent rivet]

Droplets looks at his hand, somehow able to move it more smoothly. “..I feel like I can breathe again.”

The golden overseer appears one last time before disappearing again.

[pastel vale]

Chary, Twigs and Ghilly appear
Heyo!

[fervent rivet]

*Pages looked at Chary and Twigs. “Droplets isn’t as rigid anymore. I feel like something right was done.”

Droplets and Scout look at Chary, wanting to smile. “Nice to see you again.”*

Twigs smiles.

[pastel vale]

(pov
You just finished recoloring the a map of the world that has all states and counties in the world)

[fervent rivet]

(DAMN)

[pastel vale]

Chary waves at Droplets
So you're systems have all been slagged pretty bad- any chances you've made some enemies?

[pastel vale]

(only took 3 and a half nonstop hours)

[fluid mauve]

(AAAAA)

[pastel vale]

(so relatable)

[gaunt jetty]

(I know how.)

[pastel vale]

(I want to jump into something rn)

[gaunt jetty]

There is a Overseer peeking from somewhere..

[fervent rivet]

“…Fifteen Enigmas Counted. When I was starting my campaign of revitalizing my populations, he went mad after countless cycles of work. He proclaimed that we were all prisoners when we were given godlike potential, and thus he started to treat his district cruelly, reaching his power over them and changing many lives of many creatures. All of us disagreed with him, though he did gain a few followers. He was upset with me choosing to be benevolent..”
Droplets seems rather pissed. “…I should’ve known he’d try to break the group apart. When you get your first taste of power, there’s no going back.”

Pages looks away, disturbed and saddened.

“So he did go crazy!” Twigs nodded, seemingly not pleased.

[pastel vale]

Whoa.

So from what I'm hearing, he's an average villain that was trying to take out some enemies.

So what do we do about it?

[fervent rivet]

“I don’t know. I only reckon he’s gotten stronger since he killed me. But if you must know, his can is near the desert.”

Mouse raised her head hearing this.

Pages raised an eyebrow. “The desert?”

(That one unimportant thing Pages forgot: the meaning of the word yeast)

[pastel vale]

Hol up,

You're saying we take this roving band of people that have done a surprisingly good job of not killing each other yet to go take down a powerful dictator? For God's sake, theres children!

I'm sorry but there isn't much we can do here.

Only 4 of us can actually fight.

[fervent rivet]

“I am not saying that! I just thought you’d want to know where to avoid.”

Scout looks at Mouse with confusion.

[pastel vale]

Chary crosses her arms

So what now?

[fervent rivet]

“It’s a simple warning. Please do not be offended.”

Pages stood up, looking at her collapsed senior. “*How can you still see? Your eye sensors are rather busted.”

“…that I don’t know.”*

Twigs catches sight of some sleeping creatures.

“..what I’d suggest is to stay safe.. thank you for helping me, uh.. what is everyone’s name? I know Twigs.”

[gaunt jetty]

The overseer shows a hologram for the group with a emoji: >:)

[pastel vale]

What?

The Assistant goes Wawa and points at the overseer

[fervent rivet]

Twigs points at the overseer. “Hey! Another one!”

“..I suppose you saw another overseer in Droplet’s structure,” Pages nods, glaring at the overseer. “I can try to track the overseer’s source.”

[pastel vale]

There was an orange one but...

[gaunt jetty]

Suddenly, the Overseer...Why is it making a default dance?

[fervent rivet]

(DAMNIT)

(WE’VE BEEN DEFAULT-DANCED)

[fluid mauve]

(SLOW THE FUCK DOWN)

[fervent rivet]

(LMAOOO)

[pastel vale]

Chary curses
Okay, uhhhh, how about we head down to some cover?

[fervent rivet]

Ay Skrim we got a new villain//

Pages covers the ears of her child. “Not in front of the kid!”

Twigs blinks. “wha?”

[gaunt jetty]

(Umm bois..)

[fervent rivet]

(Ok

[pastel vale]

Sorry but, I have seen enough to know that this is a distraction. Better safe than sorry.

(brb)

(okay I'll be back in a good bit)

(under an hour)

[fervent rivet]

(I will be back in about Uh… 2 hours. Cooking a lot today)

[fluid mauve]

(OH MY FUCKING GOD)

[fervent rivet]

(We’re waiting, don’t worry)

(It’s not like we captured the governer of Five Pebbles)

[pastel vale]

(I'm aliev)

[fervent rivet]

@fluid mauve

[pastel vale]

Ghily fukin dies

[fervent rivet]

Damnit! Killing someone for no reason again?!

[pastel vale]

I HAD GOOD REASON!!

[fervent rivet]

She’s not that hideous!

[pastel vale]

Wait no? She's boring tho, and I'm trying to get her narrirators attention!

[fervent rivet]

By murdering Chary in front of everyone. To them it looks like she just collapsed.

[pastel vale]

Nah, I got a secret plot to kill Chary.

But like, all she does is reply to crap!

All she does is move the story along, not develop and add to it.

Also Ghilly is fine, narrirators words aren't what actually happens unless we make it.

[fervent rivet]

Just send the secret plot to me. Hey, Aurora! Keep an eye on the idiots while I talk to this guy.

[fluid mauve]

Stop.

[pastel vale]

Why are you talking to drugs?

[pastel vale]

Oki doke.

[fervent rivet]

Not drugs. Anyway, nevermind. Continuation?

[pastel vale]

I play too much Starfield.

[fervent rivet]

Skrimshaw, what you’ve missed is that they managed to SOMEWHAT help Droplets, and now there’s knowledge of another bastard out there.

[fluid mauve]

I'm tired

its 7:40 for me

[fervent rivet]

Aren’t we all?

[pastel vale]

Yes and Yes.

[fervent rivet]

8:44 for me

[pastel vale]

Same here.

[fluid mauve]

I got this friday off

[pastel vale]

Shouldn't we be talking in parenthesis at this point? It's clear we are the players just be dumb at this point.

[pastel vale]

* *

[fervent rivet]

Nice.

(Yes, I suppose.)

(Anyway, heading to the REALM to talk about the next plot?)

[fluid mauve]

KB:Dude, you gonna go to bed?
TN:I will I will...

KB:I'm equally as tired as you are, especially with all the side quests you keep gving me

[pastel vale]

Well I might as well turn in tbh.

(YOU'RE A SIDE QUEST)

(and so am i)

[fervent rivet]

“I’m not sure Droplets can get off his handrail still.”

[fluid mauve]

KB:Oh, and can you tell that susbot to stop threatening to kill the world to start a new plot? I worked my ass off just to make a difference here and if he just takes it all away I'm coming for all of your necks

[fervent rivet]

(Shut up kid didn’t you have like 17 existential crisises in the past 50 minutes?)

[fluid mauve]

TN:I'll try...

KB:Don't fuckin "Try"
KB:DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT YA GOBSHITE

[pastel vale]

(WE ARE ALL HAVING CRISISISES)

[fluid mauve]

TN:Sorry sorry.

[pastel vale]

(okay I'll stop)

(but Skrimy
Actual please get your plot in gear)

[fervent rivet]

(GBIAA: Okay, are we going to continue this or not-)

[pastel vale]

(it's literally just the Martian)

[fluid mauve]

(Whats that?)

[pastel vale]

(A movie)

[fluid mauve]

(Missed!)

(But still)

[fervent rivet]

(Lol)

[fluid mauve]

(Its cold af where I am)

[fervent rivet]

(I bet by now you can’t even scroll up to that time where everyone fucking died)

[fluid mauve]

(My hands are cold and I'm tired)

(Can we just do this tomorrow? I'll give me more time to script a quest for you guys, plus it'll move the plot forward.)

[fervent rivet]

(Ok)

[pastel vale]

(sure)

[pastel vale]

(oof)

[fluid mauve]

(K, imma go eep)

[pastel vale]

(Same, eepy time)

[pastel vale]

(-thefancyghost)

[gaunt jetty]

That Overseer explodes pretty much like a grenade around the group.

[fervent rivet]

Pages wraps her arms around Twigs to protect her from the grenade. “Dont tell me this is Final Frontier again-!”

[fluid mauve]

'FUCKING TERRORISTS-'

[fervent rivet]

Droplets just doesn’t care about the grenade.

[pastel vale]

GUYS STOP WAIT

[pastel vale]

(ok
I'm on and ready)

[fervent rivet]

(Nice)

[pastel vale]

Chary ducks from the explosion and the Assistant nopes and disappears with his pup

[pastel vale]

NO SHIT!

I TOLD YOU SOMETHING BAD WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!!

[fervent rivet]

Pages hides behind a rock with Twigs.

Scout and Mouse hide.

Droplets just watches it happen. “…ah yes, the usual. In my short wake-up periods, there’s always some chaos.”

[pastel vale]

(we gotta wait for Skrimy)

[fluid mauve]

(Here)

[pastel vale]

(I should be on for a bit)

[fervent rivet]

(I’m more free than the birds after they went back in time to the first Thanksgiving to get turkeys off the menu.)

[gaunt jetty]

(Not for too long.)

[pastel vale]

(plot hole I think)
Unless we are saying that HOM is like 16 here then uhhhh
It was said earlier when he was still alive that he was like 18(

[pastel vale]

(who eats turkey anymore?)

[fervent rivet]

(Holy shit)

(The turkeys succeeded)

[fluid mauve]

(When?)

[pastel vale]

(HOL UP THIS WAS ON EARTH??)

(EVEN YOUNGER THAN I THOUGHT)

(MY GUY WAS 16 AND MARRIED??)

[fervent rivet]

I don’t like this)

[fluid mauve]

(HE ENLISTED AT 16, GOT MARRIED AT 20)

[pastel vale]

(16 WHEN HE ASCENDED)

[fluid mauve]

(THE EVENTS IN WHICH TWIGS FOUND HOM WAS WHEN HE WAS 23)

[pastel vale]

(HE WAS OLDER THAN HE WAS LAST SEASON???)

[fluid mauve]

(FUCKING PLOT HOLES)

[pastel vale]

( )

[fervent rivet]

Twigs looks up at the narrators. “could you guys shut up?! We’re in death’s way here!”(joke)

[pastel vale]

PEOPLE CANT JUST MARRY A FKING MINOR!!

[fluid mauve]

(THE REASON WHY HE SAYS HES 16 IS CAUSE MISREMEMBERING, WHEN HE GOT SHIVED INTO THE PUPPET HIS MEMORIES WERE SHATTERED, THUS MAKING HIM CONFUSED ON HIS AGE.)

(Which plays a more important part later)

(BUT STILL)

[pastel vale]

(WAIT SO HE ISNT DEAD?)

[fervent rivet]

(I mean, getting your brain springlocked sounds damaging)

[pastel vale]

( PLOTTTT)

(AND I DROPPED MY PHONE)

[fluid mauve]

(By the time you find HOM in his puppet, he's technically in his 50s)

[pastel vale]

(I JUST SPIT OUT MY ALFREDO)

(BRO
HE LIKE
DUDE
HE WAS A TEENAGER THAT HID IN A PUPPET AND GOT CRUCIFIED)

(THE FU)

[fluid mauve]

(He said his lore, that doesn't mean its all correct)

[pastel vale]

(so ascending made him Younger?)

[fluid mauve]

(No)

(Its a vission, a hallucination, a visual recap)

(Must I explain his lore so you dont stick 3 foot rods into my spine?)

[pastel vale]

(no(

[fluid mauve]

(Good cause it'll be explained much later on)

(But long story short)

(Theres a reason why theres no time stamps in his backstory)

[pastel vale]

(this was a 50 year old?)
(trauma HOM)

[pastel vale]

(
ok
I'm very confused)

[fluid mauve]

(I'll explain then)

(At 16 he enlisted
At 18 he found a s/o
At 21 they got married
At 23 his wife was killed and thus begins HOM's murder arch which ends in his favor yet leaves him a wanted man,
Hes on the run till he turns 30 where the great accension begins to happen
He gets springlocked
28 years later
58 years old when you first find him)

[fervent rivet]

So Twigs definitely arrived a bit too early)

[fluid mauve]

(HOM HAS DEMENTIA)

[pastel vale]

(58 years, but the springlocking made him Younger by a lot and he was dead for centuries or something)

[fervent rivet]

(Lmao)

[pastel vale]

(You know who else has dementia?)

[fluid mauve]

(If you took off the puppet's helmet you'd see human mush)

[fervent rivet]

Yikes)

[pastel vale]

(ew
but ok)

[fluid mauve]

(Time Fcuk made them younger when they resurrected them)

[fluid mauve]

(This HOM is in his 20s)

[pastel vale]

(somebody has lore where a scug entered an empty can and they got springlocked and turned into an iterator

... without a puppet, just a scug corpse)

[fervent rivet]

(Lmao)

[pastel vale]

(MY GUY LOOKS YOUNG AS HELL)

Alright can we finally continue?

[fervent rivet]

Sure.

[fluid mauve]

(HE HAS VERY GOOD HYGIENE)

I need a burger...

[gaunt jetty]

(Five Locks at Scuggies, is this where the wawa be?)

[pastel vale]

(MY GUY MUST BE USING ALL THE RAZERS AND LOTION)

[fervent rivet]

(I just don’t get it… Wawa you Wawa stay???)

[pastel vale]

(oMG HAHAGAAÀAAHDBBKDK)

[pastel vale]

(WHY IS THIS SO FKING FUNNY??)

[fervent rivet]

(Bro’s the top customer)

[fluid mauve]

(His wife taught him proper skin care with the least amount of products)

[pastel vale]

(my guy is not even an ancient at this point)

Chary gets up
Who the hell was that?!

[fervent rivet]

Pages holds a scared twigs. “…we can’t keep being targeted like this.”

[jolly goblet]

(Be on soon)

[fervent rivet]

*Pages stayed silent for a moment, before finally speaking with some somber in her voice.

“I think I will stay here in the Droplets District, despite how overgrown it is. Perhaps build a home in one of the old buildings and restore it. I understand that Twigs lives for adventure, but Droplets cannot live on simply a cell alone. He will need my assistance, and possibly that of my daughter as well. I don’t want Twigs hurt anymore, and if one were to hide well, it’d be impossible to find that person here. That being said, I wish no longer to journey.”

Droplets tilted his head.

Twigs and Scout raised their eyebrows.* “woah, are you sure, pages?”

“im certain. This is my final decision.”

[fluid mauve]

'DO YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH!? This place is gonna be a shitstorm if we dont get out of here soon!'

[pastel vale]

No, it'll be a shitstorm if we don't get out of here. As far as most people are concerned, the trouble follows us. Not Pages.

Chary gestures to the Assistant peeking out
He should stay too.

The Assistant looks offended for a moment but looks back and nods

I'm not going to stay here. I don't- after all that has happened, I don't know if I will ever be able to stop fighting. Because, once I do, I don't know what'll happen to me.

[fervent rivet]

*Droplets stays silent, before nodding. “Then good luck on your journey. Do stay safe. There’s a safe bunker underneath my structure somewhere. Get Twigs and the slugcats there until the problem passes.”

Twigs looks at Chary, giving her a quick hug.* “Please be safe out there..”

[pastel vale]

Chary pats Twigs
I will.

[fluid mauve]

Ghily leaves behind the sorrowful moment and makes haste

[pastel vale]

The Assistant takes off his goggles and hands them to Chary before heading back next to Pages where his pup is.

Chary follows Ghily

[fervent rivet]

Pages picks up the little creatures and Scout, taking Twigs’s hand gently to hide out until the attack stops.

Mouse is running after Chary.

[gaunt jetty]

Another Overseer like the one from earlier appear around.

[pastel vale]

Chary stops
SHI

[fervent rivet]

Mouse widens her eyes at the overseer, running away.

[fluid mauve]

Ghily seems way more prepared than last time

[gaunt jetty]

It sends a hologram with a emoji like the other: >o<

[fervent rivet]

“THEY’RE ON SHROOMS!” Mouse screams.

[fluid mauve]

'MOUSE, IM GONNA THROW YOU SO YOU HAVE A BETTER CHANCE AT SURVIVAL. YOU READY!?'

[pastel vale]

(brb)

[fervent rivet]

Mouse looks at the scav. “WHAT-“

[fluid mauve]

'NEVER MIND ILL JUST CARY YOU'
Ghily grabs mouse by the scruf of their neck and set them on their back

[pastel vale]

(back(

WHAT???

[gaunt jetty]

The Overseer goes to Droplets direction.

[pastel vale]

FUK

[fervent rivet]

“GET THAT MOTHER FUCKER”
she starts throwing her spears at ir

[pastel vale]

Chary sprints after the Overseer and fires a few shots at it from her rifle

[fervent rivet]

Droplets sits there still. With his friends and their friends safe within the inner walls of the structure, he just stares down the direction of the overseer.

[gaunt jetty]

Its quite hard to aim properly on it considering its smallness and curve velocity...Yet it gets hit, breaking apart.

[pastel vale]

Chary sees this and stops
Mfw.

At least there aren't any children so now I can swear all I want.

[fervent rivet]

“Youve just been waiting for that moment, then.”

[pastel vale]

Hell yes.

[gaunt jetty]

The overseer still sent a last hologram, but with a message: ...Hi there...Thanks for the info from earlier, i'm raidng this place later uwu

[pastel vale]

IS THAT ENOT???

[jolly goblet]

(Back, we in droplets structure?)

[pastel vale]

(sorta)

[gaunt jetty]

(Close, but not inside.)

...Wuh?...Who...Where?...Which voice is it? Who's talking?

[fervent rivet]

(Scout’s gonna murder poor Enot lmao)

[fluid mauve]

(Brb)

[pastel vale]

(K)

[pastel vale]

*A hologram said Uwu, we could say it's FF but that is a classic Enot move"

[fervent rivet]

“He doesn’t want to hurt Pages more again, right? He already got information from her, so he has no reason to keep attacking. It’s.. whatever an Enot is. Is it a rare species?”

[gaunt jetty]

(Gotta leave a bit.)

[fervent rivet]

(Ok)

[jolly goblet]

Birsha appears behind chary, title his head to the hologram

[fervent rivet]

(Twigs and pages and assistant are staying with droplets. Mouse chart and Ghily have left them)

[pastel vale]

Chary sighs
Now I'm used to it. I'm not sure what an Enot is either. I guess we just fortify this can? I don't know.

[fervent rivet]

“That would be best. To give Droplets and Pages the protection they want.”

[jolly goblet]

Birsha: that name sounds...oddly familiar

[gaunt jetty]

(Actually leaving for about an hour.)

[fervent rivet]

Ok)

[pastel vale]

(oof ok)

SB storms out of the recording room and sounds of attacking a scug can be heard in the background
STOP FKING WITH OUR RP!!

[fervent rivet]

GBIAA just seems concerned.

[pastel vale]

(Who is GBIAA?)

[fervent rivet]

(Glass breaking in an Aurora. Somehow she is here alongside the narrators)

[fluid mauve]

You can't touch the projections man...

[pastel vale]

SB runs back in
Too bad.

So anyways, What's Ghily's story?

[fluid mauve]

Uh, let the parentheses explain?

(Ghily is a visionary, a person who's seen the prophecy. She's trying to stop it.)

[pastel vale]

Huh.

[fervent rivet]

The orange overseer appears again from afar, catching some pictures of the group. It most likely assumes that the part of the group that stayed with Droplets died, so it only concerns itself with Ghily, Birsha, Chary, and Mouse.

[gaunt jetty]

(Aight, beck.)

[pastel vale]

(k)

[gaunt jetty]

Its probably that guy...Wait...Who are you?

[pastel vale]

Uhhh, SB. I don't think you've been with me and the other narrirators for very long.

[gaunt jetty]

...Narrators?...Wha...What do you mean?

Fine, go text with your girlfriend or whatever.

Hol up, you're the scug from the roleplay? On the other side of the glass?

[pastel vale]

Oooohhh... Sorry.

You're literally just a floating stickman to me.

[gaunt jetty]

...Wh...What do you mean with roleplay?...This...Its not a game?..

[fluid mauve]

Lets fix this meta situation first

[pastel vale]

Yeah- well somebody got outside.

[pastel vale]

Sure.

[fluid mauve]

This is reality, not in there, in there is fiction

In there is NOT real

[fervent rivet]

What is going on-

[pastel vale]

Well, the boundary between reality and fiction.
We are representations of our real selves. We are the narrirators. We, narrirate. The players control the people on the other side of the glass and write them.

Sorry for breaking a few walls there.

[fluid mauve]

It was required...

[fervent rivet]

Anyway, before Kurtis gets another breakdown.

[pastel vale]

Oh yeah.

[gaunt jetty]

...But i am not a player...I...Am i breaking something that i shouldn't have? I feel like i wasn't supposed to be able to be here..

[pastel vale]

Yeah, I should probably be more suprised than I am right now.

[fervent rivet]

……I’m just tired. I don’t nap during the day and I stay up until 11.

[fluid mauve]

By all technicalities...
You shouldn't exist.

So maybe you're just another rouge projection

[pastel vale]

Anyways, we might as well put you back into the world. Where do you wanna go?

[pastel vale]

Ouch.

[gaunt jetty]

...Honestly...I...Always felt like this since my birth...Some abnormality...I am not supposed to be here...Neither these two...Ugh..

[fervent rivet]

10 o clock we got a wild overseer.

[fluid mauve]

DONT YOU TELL ME YOU BROUGHT MORE ROGUE PROJECTIONS...

[pastel vale]

Well that was what your player chose.

I need to get some tea, hold on.

SB leaves the room

(I actually brb tho)

[fervent rivet]

(Ok)

[pastel vale]

SB returns
Nevermind! We're out of tea.

[fervent rivet]

Aza just reads the script.
Okay next up we have… uh….. uhhhh… a scramble of words.

[fluid mauve]

Its all improv dude...

[gaunt jetty]

...I am not a projection...Why are you...Treating this as if we are just here for your amusement? Who even are you all? This is weird..

[fervent rivet]

Basically the people running the whole show. You wouldn’t be in your situation without us.

[pastel vale]

To us, you are a story.

[fluid mauve]

You have no free will, sorry if thats big news to you, but I told this to 18 others before you.

We can remove it from your conscience if that makes you feel better.

[gaunt jetty]

...Liar.

The terrain trembles a bit.

[pastel vale]

SB looks at TN in suprise then back at Kurtis
Oh shit.

[fluid mauve]

Nice motive man, its not like we have that built into our emersion system.

My advice, stop trying cause itll end in heartbreak.

[pastel vale]

Look okay, we do what the players tell us to do, even if it isn't right.

You want to make change?

Go back to your damn world and try and do, I don't know, something you would never do.

Something very out of character that would have to be unscripted.

Something that your player wouldn't do.

I'll get staked for this but oh well.

[fluid mauve]

Even then it would be retconed.

[pastel vale]

What if we broke some more walls?

[fervent rivet]

Someone erase his memory before he messes up the plot.

[fluid mauve]

Thats impossible

[pastel vale]

SB throws up his hands
I won't.

[fluid mauve]

Ill do it, ive done it several times before.

[pastel vale]

Like we've tried.
We are just projections in a way too. We just sit here and make the decisions and somehow live a somewhat normal life despite never leaving this large duplex.

[gaunt jetty]

...Every system has a flaw...I always find a way in...Even if that means...Ugh...Embracing the worse of me.

[pastel vale]

My guy, I don't even know how you got here.

[fervent rivet]

Hey, don’t feel like that. We’ll get things back to normal.

[fluid mauve]

Theres nothing you're gonna gain from trying to break the system, it'll only end in nothing.

[pastel vale]

There's a normal?

[pastel vale]

Or the players getting sick of this.

[fluid mauve]

Yea...

[pastel vale]

SB sits down in an office chair and rolls it back
Yall make your decisions, I'm going to sit back.

[fervent rivet]

..I just want Kurtis back where he came from so we can continue.

[gaunt jetty]

...It better be nothing than being slaves of amusenent for randoms.

[fluid mauve]

KB:Should I hit the kill switch on the kurt?
TN: BAD TIMING

[fervent rivet]

*Hey, we give our characters happy endings.

…sometimes.*

[fluid mauve]

Our consciences aint even real, nobody is gonna win.

KB:Im the only real one here.
TN: SOILERS

[pastel vale]

Like we can...
Sometimes they are just too traumatized for anything good to come.

[pastel vale]

Nothing is being soillleddd.

[fervent rivet]

(cough) chary

[pastel vale]

Yeah she is a mess inside.

[fervent rivet]

if I scugified chary would that help

[pastel vale]

You know what, sure.

Go for it.

[fluid mauve]

How would you do that?

[pastel vale]

And besides, we weren't intending for you to be sentient and whatnot. This is a barrier that shoudln't exist and yet it does.

[fervent rivet]

Us narrators do strange shit all the time.

[pastel vale]

True that.

[fluid mauve]

Well you better come up with a plot point reason or its gonna be very strange for future readers, not like it already is...

[fervent rivet]

That’s true.

[pastel vale]

This isn't for readers, its for those playing it at this point.

[fluid mauve]

KB:

[fervent rivet]

Lets get a plot rolling, and move on. If any of you would like to know, Enigmas might be after them to prevent the truth of Droplet’s collapse from ruining his internet points.

[gaunt jetty]

...Doesn't sound very different than the last time...I was not intended to be what i am...Just a tool of work to be discarded after i was done...I...Why am i having to be around this..

[pastel vale]

Him and ATVOTV are the only ones that can naturally break it at this point.

[fervent rivet]

True.

[fluid mauve]

Blame your player for that.

Not us.

[pastel vale]

Buddy, you are a work of art. Lore-wise. If one were to make you a book, you'd be a huge one and there is a ton of lore made around you.

Either way, I don't know. We all have our ways of doing things.

[fervent rivet]

You’d be more than a novel. You’d be the entire fucking library.

[pastel vale]

SB tilts his head and nods

[gaunt jetty]

...Don't joke about this its not what i want...Just...Screw this...I'll find a way.

[fluid mauve]

Good luck, protagonist.

[pastel vale]

We aren't joking.

[pastel vale]

Wait, we have a prota-

[gaunt jetty]

The trembling stopped.

[fluid mauve]

TN puts his hand on SB shoulder
A joke. :3

[fervent rivet]

Anyhooo…

[pastel vale]

Your player needs to give you a physical form.

Yeah, let's... I don't even know at this point.

[fluid mauve]

He has an image, give him a sec...

[fervent rivet]

The overseer finishes getting the pictures of the small group.

[fluid mauve]

He sent me this, so yea, enjoy the eye flavor.

[pastel vale]

Perfect.

[fluid mauve]

Why does he put thag ushanka on all of his creations...?

[pastel vale]

Now can we end this headache?

[fervent rivet]

.YES.

[pastel vale]

Because they're comfy, that's why.

[fluid mauve]

Ghily holds mouse gently
'Are you comfy?'

[fervent rivet]

“I’m just concerned about the group back there.”

[pastel vale]

We should head back.

[fervent rivet]

“Where will we go after we see them again?”

[pastel vale]

I don't know, but we need to protect them.

Chary starts walking back

[fervent rivet]

Mouse jumps down to follow Chary.

Some of the creatures seem to worry about Chary and the others.

[gaunt jetty]

...More of these Red Overseers...Them seem to be scouting the area around Droplets.

[pastel vale]

(brb)

[fervent rivet]

The orange overseer appears and glared at the red overseers.

Droplets looks up at the red overseers. “Ah, a damn invasion. Hey, Pages, if you can hear me, stay in there for a little while longer.”

[fervent rivet]

(Enigmas is onto them lol)

[gaunt jetty]

(Romance book.)

[fervent rivet]

The overseer sends a message: you seem to like exploding

[gaunt jetty]

One of these Overseers reply: Some does, some doesn't, others don't even care, or one or two are defective.

[fervent rivet]

The overseer rolls it’s eye.
Holographic Message: Leave these ones to me. I myself can make sure they don’t tell anyone.

[gaunt jetty]

Reply: Dunno, Final Frontier has billions of these. All-Eyes around the planet. Very bad. I am a defective if you wonder.

[fervent rivet]

And what will Final Frontier do to a godlike deity such as Fifteen Enigmas Counted? Several Iterators and many creatures under his control in the Golden District.

[gaunt jetty]

Reply: Man is retained to old practices, as if unfinished business. He sees the Ancients as bad exemples. In most cases are correct. But there is exceptions. He has good intentions. But lacks empathy on purposes.

[fervent rivet]

I have heard Enigmas talk about enslaving the ancients as well. Perhaps we can think of an agreement.

The Overseer glared at the faulty one.

[gaunt jetty]

Reply: Can get you to his touch. He's planning to raid this location, in a few hours we can speak. I only wished he had better senses..

[fervent rivet]

Raid it for what?

Droplets looks up at the overseers.

[gaunt jetty]

They seem to be mapping the area and projecting routes...Some are updating it as they find more of the local defenses.

Reply: Iterators that might never agree with him, or attack even. Even when he initially didn't planned something on his own. He listens a lot. Peeks too. He peeked some speech here and then destroyed the Overseer after getting the data. For his own amusement on doing so.

[fervent rivet]

And you would prefer to endanger this child and her Iterator? Leave them to me. Pages has never listened to me. The Golden Radiance will deal with her himself.

[gaunt jetty]

Reply: Then good luck. I do not intend to be destroyed today. A bit scared.

[pastel vale]

(hi im back)

[fervent rivet]

Perhaps we can come up with this agreement. I do want more Iterators under my command. A deity commanding deities. I know you want the same, to go beyond the ancients orders and discover true potential.

(Hello, the two evil overseers are talking)

[gaunt jetty]

Reply: Maybe he would be interested on an ally. Should i feedback it?

[fervent rivet]

Yes.

Meanwhile, Pages is taking the ones who stayed with her through a tunnel to a safer part of the District. “Crazy how this used to be a large, breathing machine.”

[gaunt jetty]

...That Overseer T-Poses for a few seconds.

Reply: Done. If he's interested, he will probably be temporarily pushing back the Overseers and chat himself.

[fervent rivet]

I will notify my leader if so. He is sending HER on a mission..

[gaunt jetty]

Reply: I should act out i am doing something else before getting scolded.

The Overseer goes away.

[fervent rivet]

The overseer simply continues to watch Droplets.

[pastel vale]

(skrimy is gone so idk waht to do)

[fervent rivet]

(Wait)

[fervent rivet]

Droplets looks up at the orange overseer, just not saying anything.

[gaunt jetty]

Gradually the Overseers get out of sight or back away.

At the same time, a call from some unknown Iterator broadcast request reaches to Droplets...

The system is warning this broadcast line isn't licensed, therefore a illegal one.

[fervent rivet]

Droplets takes a moment to think before answering.

ADOP: This is an illegal broadcast line. Are you aware of that?

[gaunt jetty]

FF: Pfft, as if our intentions here are.

[fervent rivet]

ADOP: What do you plan to do with an old break-down like me? All that’s here is a surplus of creatures.

[gaunt jetty]

FF: To put is as a resume of the whole nish...I do not support the existence of any sort of remains they left for anyone without an use.

FF: They already left us once before, and what do we got?

FF: Slowly every of them started to breakdown, leaving a pile of junk as a funhouse for the time and space.

FF: Its such a waste of material like this that clearly could have an benefit for the Moon Colony restoration.

FF: Besides...I see you have some "old friends" i have met under my premises nearby.

[fervent rivet]

`ADOP: And what did the kid and Pages do to you? You’re just terrorizing innocents from what it looks like. You sound like Fifteen Enigmas, although he reaches to farther extents than this.

ADOP: This “old scrap of metal” is a living ecosystem for the wildlife of my District. Many creatures here safe from the grip of people like you.`

[gaunt jetty]

FF: As if these people are even safe to live with.

FF: Be kids, adults, they all be the same.

FF: They think they are in control of the nature and rip it apart in their industry with all their bio-engineering, destroying what is the meaning of it.

FF: It has a long time since age did matter where everyone stopped to grow up and still stuck in the same ordeals.

FF: Some people here might have seen as young as they are in appearance, but everything became relative, where even these might have lived for like centuries.

FF: Objectives here seem to little matter when the abnormal takes place to everything we try to position ourselves with.

FF: Even our appointments seem to be dubious as we are here to serve, but never to be served.

FF: And so there is...

*He shows a hologram where kids are in a battlefield.*

FF: We can't even tell who's really brand new or not, not when even these younglings are involved into the dark pit they have set in before us.

FF: While they seem to be vanishing as they go, the past domains, and chaos from some externalized force seem to take care of here.

FF: This is a cursed world where efforts of trying to correct who they are become effortless unless you destroy them.

[fervent rivet]

`ADOP: I know Twigs is not such as that. I have known her since the beginning of the grand ascension. I know Pages will protect her, as she sees the ancient child as her own. Some ancients are… not commendable, but I’m sure those who actually care can make peace with us. That’s what I’ve wanted for a long time.

ADOP: And how will I know that they’re there purposely?. Your type has always brought the wrong people into the wrong situations. Nobody wants their life ripped away.

ADOP: Even if I wanted to destroy them, do you see the conditions I am in? I am not interested in betraying them. Your words do not fool me, even when I am in this battered state. If you want to seek an ally, look for Enigmas. He is enslaving ancients and Iterators near him as I have heard. Perhaps you’ll find what you are looking for if he does not attack you with slag as well.`

The orange overseer glares at Droplets.

[gaunt jetty]

FF: Pfft, i already visited them when i have heard the chatting here, a goner.

FF: I have no involvement on it however, it was the Ancients themselves.

FF: Or was it the Valstayans? Both seem to be back...Anyway.

FF: Well, so looks like i can already do this.

*Sends malicious software to sabbotage communication and mechanical defense systems.*

FF: We will be having some fun :)

[Broadcast system compromised.]

[fervent rivet]

ADOP; Open this chat log back up right now. I am still a senior despite my fall, and I will not hesitate to use authorit-

Droplets widens his eyes as a sharp pain hits him.

The orange overseer looks away, disappearing.

Meanwhile, Pages and Twigs have gotten to another part of the district, heading to a part of the bunker while holding Scout, Assistant, and the pup.

“Will Droplets be okay?”

“He will send his overseer when it is safe. I trust him on this.”

[fluid mauve]

Man, the person playing FF is either
A, really good at playing villain
Or B, a sociopath.

KB:Its A
KB:On the topic of A, quit being an asshole to the player
TN:It was sarcastic
KB:Still

[fervent rivet]

Meanwhile, a dark orange Iterator sits in his chamber, looking at the images taken. A Slugcat rests near him.

`…hmm… so there’s people out there who know.

Now, we can’t have that.

This power I have.. it will be toppled like his structure if the truth was spread.

My little friend, why don’t you go and TAKE CARE of these troublemakers?`

The slug awoke, golden eyes.

Back to Droplets.

[fluid mauve]

(Its giving Dr.Doof...)

[fervent rivet]

Droplets seems irritated, but he attempts to find something to try and help them. He’s looking all around his collapsed room.

Droplets looks at one of the corners of the room, seeing some phones left behind.

[fluid mauve]

Some are broken, some are dead

One is on

[fervent rivet]

the Iterator reaches over to it, somehow able to slightly move. He pulls the phone closer.

[fluid mauve]

Its not intended for you

[fervent rivet]

He just stays silent, sighing.
“..I’m failing them, aren’t I.”

[gaunt jetty]

A red overseer pops around, showing a image to Droplets of some armless person in a spacesuit with a text: Sus.

[fervent rivet]

“…what. Is this ancient humor that I’m supposed to know?”

NOOOOO FUCK!//

[fluid mauve]

This dude...

[gaunt jetty]

It plays some suspense sound then goes away.

[fervent rivet]

“…” Droplets seems very annoyed, before seemingly angry.

“oh that motherF###ER.”

[gaunt jetty]

(Now boat is the one to wait.)

[pastel vale]

(wha happen(

[fervent rivet]

((FF contacted Droplets, Pages and Twigs have brought everyone with them to a bunker until the explosive overseers leave, Droplets just got sent an among us meme)

[pastel vale]

(where's chary and the others?.in the bunker?(

[fervent rivet]

Probably on their way back. Droplets can still direct them to the bunker quickly.

)

[pastel vale]

(k
Ping me when you need me to exist)

[gaunt jetty]

(@pastel vale get out of the rice fields.)

[fervent rivet]

(BAHAAAAA)

[pastel vale]

(

[gaunt jetty]

(Indeed ( moment.)

[pastel vale]

(is Skrimshaw on too?(

[fervent rivet]

@fluid mauve

Now they are)

[fluid mauve]

()

[pastel vale]

(E)

[gaunt jetty]

The red overseers are back around, and now acting more wildly between each other, as if having fun.

[fervent rivet]

The orange overseer is just watching them, playing chess with itself.

[pastel vale]

(so what now?)

[fervent rivet]

(I guess bring chary and the group back here? Then idk what Milton will make happen next)

[gaunt jetty]

(A.)

[fervent rivet]

Mouse looks at the red overseers with concern. “..an attack may take place.”

[pastel vale]

Chary and the group return to Droplets
Ayo, is everything ok?!

[fervent rivet]

Droplets looks up. “..no. I suppose all of you got on the wrong side of Final Frontier. It is not safe at my structure. Listen, there is a bunker in which Pages and Twigs brought their group to. It’s through a secret passageway in my structure illuminated by my only overseer.”

[pastel vale]

Okay.

Chary notices one of the phones

[fervent rivet]

“..I cannot reach that too well. Perhaps you can see what’s on it?”

[pastel vale]

Chary picks it up and looks at it
How the hell does this thing have any batteries?

[fluid mauve]

1 voice message

"No, youre not the one."

[pastel vale]

Huh?

[fervent rivet]

“..what does that mean?”

Mouse goes over to tap the phone.

[pastel vale]

I don't know.

Caseus eius?

[fluid mauve]

(His cheese)

[pastel vale]

(cheese-its)

[fervent rivet]

“Hand me the phone. I might be able to see what it means.”

[pastel vale]

Chary gives Droplets the phone

[fervent rivet]

Droplets looks at the phone.

[gaunt jetty]

One of the Overseers make a funny airhorn sound in the spot, then a boom noise is heard in a wall.

[pastel vale]

I could go for some cheezits. That stupid Enot stole the last one

[fluid mauve]

1 voice message from unknown caller
"No, you're not the one."

[fervent rivet]

Droplets rose his head. “..there is no time. All of you must go. Take the phone with you!”

[pastel vale]

FK!
Chary grabs the phone
BUNKER TIME!

[fervent rivet]

Mouse begins to freak out, following.

Droplets stays put, starting to think of a plan. Perhaps make holograms to trick FF…

The orange overseer seems disappointed in the red one’s humor.

[pastel vale]

Chary enters the bunker

[fervent rivet]

Pages and Twigs look at Chary. “Is Droplets okay out there?”

[gaunt jetty]

There is a Miro Lizard approaching the group out of the wallhole.

[pastel vale]

Yes and no

Chary shuts the door in front of the lizard and locks it

[fervent rivet]

(Miros. WHAT.)

[gaunt jetty]

(Liquord.)

[fervent rivet]

Some of Droplet’s own creatures, a strange array of centipedes and lizards all with blue mark of COMMS, start to attack the invaders.

[fervent rivet]

FF smokes weed and creates these shits confirmed)

[pastel vale]

Nice.

[fervent rivet]

Droplets just sits there. “..this is fine.”

[pastel vale]

So we have a normal villain and an autistic villain, cool. I guess we just wait this out...

[fervent rivet]

Twigs sits down, looking at Chary. “Is that a phone? Haven’t seen one of those in a long time.”

[pastel vale]

I know, and it's charged!
