Chapter 1: poof
Chapter Text
poof So, that happened. Elliot stares blankly at the screen in front of him, still in an unresponsive state. Screen... since when did they have such a big
Blink. Blink.
WAIT THAT HAPPENED-
After an embarrassing 10 seconds of being high enough to greet his ancestors, Elliot jolts back to reality and frantically looks around because where the fuck is he? Is this that foul being's doing? Was this another killing game? A way to drive them to despair, or whatever that thing's goal is?
The other survivors are here. Elliot's heart dropped so hard he could feel it kiss his ass but at the same time he wanted to sob because he wasn't alone, and had means of protection.
Guest1337 was forcing himself to remain alert despite the disorientation with greater ease (he's probably used to it. make it make sense), Shedletsky looks like he's on cloud 19, Chance was living the life, Builderman was rubbing his face like he has to feel bad about losing extended family he never even knew existed, Dusekkar... well, actually, nobody can really understand how his face works, same for Taph, Noob seemed to be weirdly used to it, 007n7 seemed to be waking up, and Two Time looks confused and disoriented, their smile looking uncomfortably strained. Elliot didn't like that smile, it reminds him of the killing games...
right... the killing games. This must be another ploy for them. Elliot shifts uncomfortably, his bottom lip finding its way between his teeth as the realization sets in. This had to be some sort of killing game event, but this time, they had nothing to prepare them. It's not that Elliot doesn't trust (some of) his fellow teammates, just... the unpredictable nature of this could catch even the strongest of them off guard.
Nobody speaks for a long while. They're either too high, or too anxious.
Guest1337 looks around the area. It seems like a relatively normal room, if you ignore the complete lack of doors and impressive size. There's a large television at the center, and all (most, at least- there aren't those "extra" occasionals like Friend) suvivors are crammed in one side of the room- except 007n7 who's on the other side for whatever reason... could it be others would join them soon? But would they be survivors or killers?
No, it seems like too peaceful of an environment to be where the killers would appear. Too unfair to entertain that sick creature. Maybe this is some sort of lobby, just... with a TV now apperantly. But why?
"S-so..." began a typically shaky voice- Noob, "is this... a new lobby?" they're confused. Understandably so. "Well... we have no reason to think otherwise," agreed Elliot, a point the Guest quickly counters. "What purpose would it serve to revamp the cabins? They served their purpose fine."
Elliot chews his lips again. It's not the best habit, but among the constant deaths and resurrection, the possibility of the cycle repeating- it felt too benign to acknowledge. "...I don't know."
"Woah! That's a sick TV!" Chance seems to have snapped back to reality... finally. Of course the first thing he thinks of are the luxuries his greedy eyes manage to catch.
"Whahuh... OH! TV! Wait, that IS pretty sick!" Shedletsky's awakening was... well... a bit pathetic for an admin, but Builderman can and will envoke the 5th.
Taph makes no comment, but he seems pretty happy to be next to Builderman. Spekaing of which, Mister Lost Someone finally speaks up, "Ay, ain't time to drool ova' a new TV. What's the situation?"
Dusekkar, elegant as ever, is quick to speak before Guest1337, Noob or Elliot can share their theories. "This fissure in reality, 'tis like confidentiality, and it differs from the wretched beast; yet perhaps that's not the least of our worries." It's 3AM and AO3 is my bedtime story talk: "this spOoPY energy isn't the specter's. The fact someone bypassed the Specter's security MIGHT b a problem"
Which, yeah, it fucking is. WHAT weird ass creature was sitting on its ass watching them before bringing them here?? It seems to utilize magic at le-
"soounds about right. Coding's here all weird." Shedletsky says way too fucking casually. "Not the Specter's kinda thing though."
Ok. So is it fucking magic or coding.
Two Time, in all their effortless, beautiful, amazing, pretty, perfect, elysian, handsome, elegance, of course HAS to glaze the Spawn now that there was the PERFECT opportunity to. "It must be our Savior, the Spawn. Only it would be so gracious to free us from these games with such precision and calculation! Perhaps it seeks to show us something?"
Everyone gives him that very very distinctly exasperatedly, incredulously disturbed look that they have uniquely reserved for Two Time. But they're also kinda onto something. Dusekkar is visibly feeling disdain, and mind you, it's hard as shit reading a fucking pumpkin- that's how bad it is.
"Show us something?.." Builderman echoes thoughtfully, scratching the stubble on his face as he considered the idea. Some sort of... all-powerful being stole them from the Specter to show them something. Why?
poof
Eh? Were those extras joi-
and lo' and behold. The killers appeared on the other side of the room (right next to 007n7 too). They got too comfortable too fast. For a moment, everyone's just frozen, cause it's really really weird seeing their tormentors drunk out their fucking minds. 1x1x1x1 was completely blacked the fuck out, John Doe... didn't look much different actually cause he's too corrupt for it to make a difference. The Children (Pr3typriincess, Bluudud and C00lKidd... why were the other two here? Weren't they considered "extras"?) were NOT... where ever those guys were (they seem weirdly... gloomy), Jason's mask covered his face anyway but he seemed weirdly chill, there's a weird purple dude. A few recognize him as Noli and get insane PTSD flashbacks but yk it is what it is, we're all a little fucked up around here, and of course Mafioso jolts up after an awkwardly delayed moment.
Next thing you know, there's a lot of screams. 1x1x1x1 is already charging up his Mass Infection and doing the little vsco girl sound rattle thing, John Doe doesn't see any exits and has to.... gasp... actually FIGHT face-to-face! Which is not his style at all, don't blame the hitbox. Jason's probably finally meeting his mom again. C00lkidd and Bluudud are focused on the TV too actually, and Pr3typriincess is debating whether she should join them or join the warzone.
BTW 007n7 is probably in the middle of panic attack cause his ex-bestie (who he pressured into self-sacrificing to a weapon of war and then dipped out on), an acquaintance (who is part of the fucking mafia and killed him numerous times, probably the tamest one here tbh), 3 children (that he taught how to kill) and an entire group of people personally affected by his shitty past decisions are all here like. Right in front of him. The bestie in question exclaims something that is drowned out by the noise, but 007n7 can vaguely make out his name.
And then it's all quiet.
"Hey, hi, hello," and no it's NOT Two Time's daddy Spawn, it's a comically little girl wearing overalls and a skirt. She's monochrome and seems to defy the laws of light or whatever. So scary. No face either cause That's like, not y u came here lmao. "It's too late into the night for me to take this seriously. Anyway! As per usual, Two Time is ABSOLUTELY correcT! Not on the spawn thing but like. Yeah, I wanna show you stuff. And it requres you to NOT kill yourselves!"
Builderman squints incredulously, but it's Shedletsky who speaks, "We're stuck in a cycle of death and resurrection, trying to figure out what brought us and why, and you, a little girl I could lift with a toe, want us to watch a few videos." He summarizes adequately. C00lkidd winces, Bluudud's face is blank, and Pr3typriincess' eyes darken. Interesting reactions but nobody's paying attention anyway lmao.
"...Yeah. :D"
...
Guest1337 finally speaks up, "Would you rather participate in the killing games or watch a few videos from a little girl?"
"Touche, touche," Chance snaps his fingers, pointing at Guest1337 with an approving grin.
The weird purple guy is next- he seems pretty chatty, "Y'-Y'-Y'kn00w, 1'm pr3-pr3tty cur10u5 my53-my53lf." ...if only he weren't. For the record, Noli's curious about the killing games and whatever they'rve been sent to watch. 007n7 winces at the sound of Noli's corrupted voice, something akin to miserable guilt flashing in his eyes- a detail nobody cares to notice. Y'know. Cause their killers are here, and so is their abductor. And it's 007n7.
1x1x1x1 growls, "Speak for yourselves. I'd rather continue killing than get bossed around by a child with too much power." C00lkidd is the one who speaks up next though, "Actually, I want to watch videos on the big screen..." "Me too." Bluudud NEVER agrees with C00lkidd, so that's WEIRD. 'That's a biig screen." "Me three." And now Pr3tyPriincess is agreeing with both. Wth. You just KNOW 1x1x1x1 is giving them the "you're supposed to be on my side" look.
It's weird, cause those three are the most enthusiastic about homocide. Chance pipes up again, "For once, I'm with them. That's a pretty cool TV, eh?" "Why are you still talking about the screen?" And now everyone's looking at John Doe because when did his talking update fucking drop?? Probably with Demon King and Gasharpoon but like those don't fucking count, they're extras. Variants. You get it.
"Yeah, he talks telepathically now. A gift from yours truly. Here's the deal- I'm just a bored passerby who likes seeing people's reactions to stuff, and my current fixation is you lot! So, you get a break from murder, snacks, whatever, and in exchange, watch some videos. Taph can talk too. Anyway, bye!"
"At least give us a moment to acclimatize..." Elliot tried to argue, but the little girl was gone. "Not even a name?"
For a moment, there's awkward silence again, until Chance speaks. "Why is 007n7 with the killers? Who's that dude?"
The former hacker feels the unnerving gaze of Noli, Jason, John Doe, Mafioso and the demon children. C00lkidd suddenly grins despite his previously bad mood, "Hey papa!" Noli is still uncomfortably quiet, and it's seriouly unnerving. Pr3typriincess' mood also brightens again, slightly. "I didn't expect to see you again so soon." Bluudud doesn't comment, since he's the most distant one.
007n7 loves his son and company, he really does, but getting killed by said company over and over again makes it really fucking unnerving to get too close them. And why is Noli here with the killers?
""That dude" is the next killer to be added to the killing games. Noli." The purple man in question giggles, but the sound is corrupted, and more like a combination of a bunch of memes from the internet.
Guest1337's eyes sharpened. That's how it is then... "will 007n7 be joining the killers, since he's with them too?" Frankly, Elliot wouldn't put it past him. Shedletsky felt bad for the guy, sure, but in no universe would that stop him from seeing him as scum for treachery. Two Time's just sitting there looking pretty, although perhaps a bit intrigued. 1x1x1x1 can't see this weirdo as a killer, he's too apologetic. 007n7 pales. He doesn't want to be a killer, he gave up that life a long time ago, and it hurts to think people expected him to return to it.
"No, I just thought it'd be funny."
...Well that's anticlimactic.
"Funny how?" Elliot crosses his arms and leans back against the wall, his eyes narrowed. Bro is MAD. "Ok maybe funny isn't the right word, I just find his dynamic with the killers interesting, yeah? Let's leave it at that and get watching!"
"What are we going to be watching?" Mafioso's voice was particularly stern and demanding. "Mostly just clips of some of the killing games, both from the perspective of survivors and killers. Oh, there might be stuff from out of the rounds too." Guest1337 looks both incredulous and unamused. "And this helps us how?" the weird child gives him a bombastic side-eye, "When did I even imply wanting to help you?"
Fair enough. Another all-powerful creature wanting to use them for entertainment... just great. Not that they can do anything about it, if their experience with the Specter suggests anything. So, they're thankfully pretty tame about the whole thing (thank god Idk how to write panic).
"No more questions? Sweet! Ooh speaking of sweet, if you want any snacks, just let me know~"
And then she.... or it was gone.
The TV turns on, startling a few people in the room (war veteran looking ass group).
Chapter 2: dawg is this fr

Chapter Text
Ok. Everyone's kinda mentally prepared for some gory videos from a sadistic eldritch being now, time to... please it? And hopefully they can be free some day. Maybe it and the Specter would conflict and they could get out of this cursed place.
The video begins. It's "Friend" Elliot getting choked out by C00lkidd- his preferred method of killing. Immediately, the demon children, even Coolkidd, shrink back a little. It's a small detail 007n7 notices, but isn't quite sure how to feel about. He takes note of it. There's some text at the top- "007n what are you feeding your kids." Kids? He only had C00lkidd... were they referring to Pr3typriincess and Bluudud too? Not that they were his kids, but he did teach them a thing or two about the C00lgui...
Mafioso's hidden eyebrow perks up, intrigued. Sure, murder was nice, but it lost some appeal when he wasn't the one doing it. He preferred knocking out teeth over watching them get knocked out, after all. Still, why is this... being showing them C00lkidd killing one of the survivors?
Noli on the other hand is watching curiously. So this was the killing game they were talking about... and he would be among those to participate as a killer it seems. Perhaps it could prove to be vital for the Void Star's sustenance. That, and he could see 007n7 again, though his feelings about that were... mixed. 1x1x1x1 just seems unamused, perhaps used to the sight. Jason doesn't speak either, Jason doesn't give two flying fucks.
Meanwhile, Elliot pales. He should be used to this by now, but the dread of failing his teammates always haunted him, the fear of the pain was still glued to his every action, and every reaction. Guest1337 turns to him, his expression almost unreadable, if not for the slight sympathy that was present. Being one of the more observant survivors, he had long picked up on Elliot's sliiight (maybe) atychiphobia.
Shedletsky no longer seemed curious about the TV, his features instead serious and uncomfortable, but bravely facing the TV. Unlike Noob, who flinched and nearly turned away, if not for that thing's influence. They didn't want more death...
Chance grimaced, "Ah. Y'know, I'm still not used to this whole thing..." from the looks of it- the way Taph was tense enough for it to show despite his layers, the way even Two Time's smile was slightly strained, the way Guest1337 clenched his fists as if ashamed he failed them, the way even Dusekkar's silence seemed like an elegy- nobody was used to it either... except the killers.
Nobody wanted to look at C00lkidd. Nobody except 007n7 noticed the strange tension that was weird for a killer to experience. Hesitantly, he shifted a little closer, which his tummy is screaming at him NOT to do. But, when C00lkidd leans in too, he can't find it in himself to put some space between them.
"I wanna go to the moon!" the sound felt too cheerful for the scene in front of them. Did that thing feel no sympathy for the torture they were going through? Guest1337's face hardened. Scum.
"Why wait?" C00lkidd seems to have snapped Friend's neck, and begins to throw the body away...
"AAAAAHHH!!"
and then completely cutting through the tension, Friend Elliot's body was sent to meet with the Thing. Some (ahem Elliot and Noob) still look traumatized, but there's a mutual incredulity in the room. Everyone turns to C00lkidd with mixed feelings, mostly incredulity or horror.
"And you didn't think to mention your strength could reach such lengths because..?" began 1x1x1x1, looking especially confused. Isn't this guy 10 years old? To be fair, that thing is the size of a full grown man... just what would be his full height once it was an adult? His full power? Builderman shudders at the thought. Thank whatever would listen C00lkidd was only a kid...
"Hehe, it's cause I'm in Team C00lkidd!" C00lkidd didn't seem to find it that big of a deal. Which is fucked up. Like, seriously fucked up bro. Wtf. You sent a dead body to the fucking moon and you're not fazed. Man. Pr3typriincess and Bluudud glared at him daringly. Was he seriously trying to plug his team now?! "Nuh uh, Team Bluudud is way cooler!" "You should OBVIOUSLY join Team Pr3typriincess, everything's pink!" "Well blue is a cool color, so team Bluudud is cooler!"
And as if he were a child, "The mafia provides more benefits than joining a group of childish vandalizers." The fucking audacity.
Noli fucking snorts. 007n7 is the tired mom here clearly, cause he's the only one who speaks up. "I don't think it's possible to join either right now..." he tries to step around the topic delicately, not wanting to piss them off.
"What? Whyy?" C00lkidd's tail lashes a bit. "Uh..."
"We're in a killing game. How do you propose we join a mafia or a vandal group?" Elliot is the one who was stressed enough to speak next. Noob pales so hard they look like the beach. Yknow. Cause light yellow = sand and light blue = water. Idk abt the green tho. Also how DID their clothes pale too?? ANyway.
Pr3typriincess gives him a sassy, annoyed look, "It's called a hypothetical situation and promotion." "Yeah! You don't exactly look at an advertisement and unironically go "hey, I should check this out!" And if you do, you're lying, but they still exist." Bluudud adds.
"Settle down, please..." 007n7 basically sighs out, cause the whole sentence is an exhale. "We should focus on watching those videos. That... person could get mad."
"Astute observation, it is absolute to proceed with caution." I think you can already tell that was Dusekkar, also always adding "said (name)" is kinda annoying.
"Oh nooo, keep up with the convos, it's totes interesting ngl." That thing speaks yet again. It hasn't introduced itself, it always seems to be listening, and it finds their useless chatter amusing... weird.
There is an awkward pause as the realization settles in: it wants to be amused, and talking was one way to achieve that. Amusing it would guarantee their comfort and safety. So, Shedletsky speaks up. "...So then, 007n7. What did you feed C00lkidd as a child? How'd he get so big?" Aside from his demonic nature, but that's left unsaid.
"Uh..." 007n7 is ashamed to admit he mostly had to feel C00lkidd junk food with some veggies snuck in sometimes. He was always very busy, having debts to pay off (from his hacker days and C00lkidd's shenanigans) and work to do, so he never had the time to give C00lkidd proper food, except maybe on a few good days.
"Nothing noteworthy, usually take-out..." he feels like a horrible father. Considering how C00lkidd ended up, he definitely is lacking in that department. 1x1x1x1's words rang in his mind again- "you're nothing like your son." They stung more than they should.
Noli's the only one who can recognize 007n7's complicated feelings as more than just awkwardness. During the days of their shenanigans, they often had to rely on subtle body language as signals, and to this day, he could read the man like a book.
"And vegetables!" C00lkidd cuts in, distracting everyone from either judgemental thoughts or the tension in the room. "And vegetables..." 007n7 confirms. C00lkidd's statement is soon followed by Pr3typriincess, "And sometimes he tries to cook pinks stuff." "Ugh, when are you gonna learn to make blue stuff? Too much pink and red."
Chance looks incredulous, "Wait, so, are those two your kids too ooor? 'Cause the video mentioned "kids," not "kid.""
"No, no... they- well, we're acquainted, I took care of them sometimes, but they-" he would say they have their own parents, buut... ehh... "they- I haven't adopted them or anything."
It does make sense to some though. Pr3typriincess would always say it wasn't personal or that she didn't expect to see him again when she killed him, no doubt they knew each other. It shouldn't have come off as a surprise, but it did. If you told Noli 007n7 was such a dad a decade ago, he would have laughed and burnt your house down.
1x1x1x1 huffs from his part of the room, a gesture 007n7 is painfully aware of. He truly is a horrible father.
Seems the only reason they were so strong was because of their natural biology then... and maybe the occasional veggies.
[Tiktok by @sahara_2004]
The room finally calms down a bit. Not that 007n7's anxiety does, but hey, at least we can move on to the next video.
Music begins, and on the screen is Mafioso walking towards a generator. Specifically the one at the Glass Houses map, the elevated area where everyone jupes the killer. You'd think he went there to sabotage it, place a trap, something of the sorts. Maybe have a goon watch over it. Guest1337, Taph and Builderman in particular are analyzing the scene, hoping to find a way to counter whatever wretched plan Mafioso may have.
Chance furrows his brows, leaning back against a wall and crossing his arms. A trap? Set around generators? Not that he's weak by any chance, pun not intended, but he doesn't want to waste charges on generators instead of buying his companions time.
Elliot in particular seemed very uneasy. They couldn't afford to have their fighters confirming whether a random generator was safe or not, they needed time to escape and set traps themselves. If this was some sort of new... trick that thing encouraged the killers to do, this could spell disaster.
Jason sighs behind his mask in disappointment. Only the killers know they can't actually set traps because of the limitations placed upon them by the Specter, but man. Life would be much easier if they could, considering some weirdos do generators mid-chase.
Bluudud immediately felt jealousy flare up. Why could Mafioso set traps and he couldn't?! They basically had the same abilities anyway! C00lkidd just thinks he's too cool for that, and that it's more fair that way anyway... he becomes uneasy again at the thought. Since when had he become so used to seeing murder as a game... Pr3typriincess thinks maybe he found a way to bypass the Thing's rules, and she's both curious and a bit unnerved.
Two Time's hot and i rlly wanna mention them but like. They are so the type to watch passively, with like, SLIIIGHT reactions. Since I love them: bro's eyebrow is twitching. That's literally it. His feelings are currently blank, cause he seems like the type to do that. I know I do. U kno, zoned out but hyperaware of everything?? If that makes sense???
Until the words, "when I realized I was a killer..." appeared on the screen. Sure enough, it shows Mafioso approaching the generator... and trying to fucking fix it. The Spectre's influence reddens his sight, "you're supposed to be killing them, not helping them."
Mafioso proceeded to frantically jump off to do his fucking job, but the scene repeats sped up a few times to rub salt on the wound.
The way the entire room turns to Mafioso could humble a honey badger. 1x1x1x1 in particular looks like he wants to put the italian in the italian mafia to good use and make a meal out of this motherfucker who can't even aim for the hole right. C00lkidd bursts out laughing, even as the video continues and shows Mafioso successfully attacking survivors. The damage is done.
"Stop laughing..!"
Jason would have said shit, but he knows damn well he's probably just as bad. [ahem beginner core.] John Doe looks so... incredulously pissed it almost hurt. "...Aren't you a mafia boss?" yessir he is, do not rub it in.
"How do you even mess up that bad?" Pr3typriincess is blunt and straight to the point with her critiques, as per usual. "No no no, not a mess up, please do your thing actually!" Chance exclaims. "Imagine how cool that'd be!"
"Silence! I was-"
Noli's about to make fun of him when Shedletsky out-wheezes the entire room, the cacophony challenging only the sneeze of a dad in volume. Speaking of which do you think 007n7 sneezes like an anime girl or like a stereotypical dad? No inbetween. Point is, Mafioso can't even fucking defend himself because it's drowned out by Shedletsky.
Dusekkar is the only one who seems to remain level-headed here. The text, the reddening of the screen, the whole scenario actually seemed to intrigue him. "Wicked thoughts are placed in clots, so powerful they are, it even rots." ["yo wait, is it js me or is bro getting controlled.]
007n7 in particular is intrigued.... mostly confused actually, he didn't fucking understand shit. The sharp-eyed Builderman, whose eyes always look for details, is the one to make Dusekkar's observation comprehensible.
"Nah, you've gotta point..." he seems unnerved now. "Killers ain't allowed to tamper with generators.. if they try, their sight is obstructed..."
It hits everyone like Lady Gaga's over-glazed brick: the killers were as stuck as they were... okay, maybe not that much, considering they find gore so delightful. Still, just how far did the Thing's influence reach their minds?
007n7 in particular thinks back to C00lkidd's reaction earlier, to the first clip... could it be he was being forced? He always treated the killing games like literal games, but could it be he genuinely thought they were games?..
"007n7..."
"Y-yeah?"
But it doesn't make any sense, how does one accidentally kill a group of full grown men fighting for their lives? Surely the Specter's illusions couldn't be so powerful? But, looking back at Noli and his preferred methods of torment... hyperrealistic illusions that could have anyone fooled...
"Daad?"
No way... it can't be... the C00lgui's orders explicitly mention things like burning, but since when did C00lkidd have a proper understanding of the damages fire could do to normal humans? But C00lkidd never wanted to hurt anyone, what if his mind really had been warped?
"Yes? What happened?"
He was a sweet kid, they all were- they always ate their vegetables, they loved play- digital and physical, but they always stopped when their playmates felt tired... but how does one confuse a corpse for a sleeping person...
oh... oh he feels fucking sick...
"H3yyy, h311000? Y0u w1th us?"
"I-I said I was 3 times now..."
Bluudud squints, "Well, you didn't look like it." Ah. His messy thoughts must've been on full display...
"That's racist," C00lkidd declares, mostly just to be annoying and lighten the mood. It kind of succeeds, with Noob seeming especially confused (they're afraid of being offensive and getting cancelled LMAO) "W-wait, really?.."
Then of course Elliot butts in, "Do you know anything?" He'd rather avoid talking to 007n7, but whatever.
"I just didn't think the Spectre's influence was so great..."
Oh. Shedletsky understands (a bit) now. His gaze drifts slowly to C00lkidd, who seemed confused. He probably thought of him...
...
...Was 1x1x1x1 the same too?
...
Nevermind. That's optimistic at best.
(Basically Shedletsky doesn't suspect C00lkidd is completely manipulated like 007 cause that kids an arsonist but he does wonder js how far it went)
1x1x1x1 isn't particuarly surprised, disgusted, he supposes, but not surprised. He had first-hand experience with the whole "don't help them" thing, couldn't set traps and even touching generators was mentally exhausting and a waste of time. That, and he knew something was off when he noticed how different C00lkidd's playstyle was during rounds and out of them with 1x's minions.
But to think the Specter had the audacity to warp a youth's mind so greatly...
[Tiktok by @hesitate_hesix]
The next video came before everyone even processed the last one.
The screen opened up with 007n7 using his C00lgui in Brandon6875935's place, specifically the ledge on the tower everyone dupes the killer in. 007n7 was visibly trying to stay calm, and some weird music was playing in the background.
Elliot's not entirely comfortable with the sight of the C00lgui, for obvious reasons. Chance seems pretty interested in having a closer look at it though, that thing looks cool as fuck, even if its spelling could use some work... at the top it says ""WAIT A SECOND" ahh"
Two Time can see John Doe (in a santa clause outfit, cause the Spectre did that sometimes) walking from a distance.
The room grows tense again. Were they about to watch another unnecessary death? His c00lgui is close, can he make it?
Except, John Doe miraculously walks away, SPECIFICALLY where 007n7 is not by some MIRACLE. It's genuinely impressive, because all John Doe needed to do was walk too close to 007n7 to harm him enough for the C00lgui to cancel teleportation. And somehow he failed at even THAT.
Mafioso's pride is taking a break from the last reaction at least.
The John Doe in the clip immediately turns around and is about to attack 007n7, only for him to turn around at the last MILISECOND, looking visibly traumatized.
Shedletsky wheezes again. "Ho-How do you- hahaha!" Every single killer in the room glares at Shedletsky hard enough to shut him the fuck up.
The look, however, is veryy telling. "Wait, you mean this isn't the first time?" Elliot asks incredulously. Just how many times had 007n7 saved his own skin at the last second? Bluudud in particular speaks up, "He hides stupid. So stupid you don't think someone hiding for their life would be there."
Taph in particular seems to shrug and get it immediately, like it was the most normal thing ever.
"How does that even make sense?" Chance looks between Bluudud and Taph, then over at 007n7. What sort of life-saving secrets could those guys be hiding? He squints dramatically, not that anyone can see.
"Uuuh, ever heard of "hiding in plain sight"? "Right under your nose"?" Shedletsky pointed out almost like it was basic common sense.
"I'll show you in juuust a second~" the... whatever it is that brought them, informs them.
Not to say he wasn't an expert at maneuvering and hiding, but with such an obnoxious shirt?.. Since when had his best friend become so invisible? Noli turns to glance at 007n7, eyeing him up. He wasn't quite as chaotic as he once was, sure, but Noli wouldn't say he blends in a crowd... but, maybe that's just cause it's someone who was special to him. Was.
[Tiktok by @Samegunmedia]
Next is 007n7 in a similar situation. He's pressed against a wall in the blue room of the Horror Hotel, his c00lgui mid-teleportation.
Out of nowhere, Bluudud pulls up. A few people flinch, but this time they seem to have realized the same thing is going to happen, just not how.
Bluudud is in the middle of summoning his minions, and 007n7 only has a few seconds left... even if they knew the outcome, there was a certain anticipation in the air for it.
Then, Bluudud snaps IMMEDIATELY towards 007n7, so fast people almost expected him to attack...
but then 007n7 was gone.
"...Huh. I think I'm startin' to get it..." Builderman seems genuinely incredulous. Sure, he heard Shedletsky mention this once or twice, being a swordsman and all, but he never got to see it for himself.
The scene repeats a few times in slow-mo to rub salt on the wounds.
"UGH, did you REALLY have to repeat it?!" Bluudud is, understandably, indignant. His face seems weirdly blue.
"Hah! L is for Loser!" C00lkidd taunts. Pr3typriincess and Bluudud side-eyed him like he was the one behind their seperation from their moms. 007n7 looks vaguely intimidated (he doesn't want to make the trio feel worse than they already do) because if a fight breaks out he is SO getting caught in the crossfire.
[Tiktok by @blamnotfunny]
The next video begins. This time, it shows Taph in that cute bunny outfit. He's running in the Horror Hotel, avoiding the creepy hands on the ground that still gives the survivors shivers.
"If you're wondering how the hell I found that spot, it's because this is just how I play."
Play... Elliot's face scrunches up. Sure, it's a killing game, but using "play" as a verb for it feels insulting. Noob frowns, shifting uneasily, but before they can say anything, the show goes on.
"I always make stupid decisions on purpose." Oh! So this is about that "hiding in plain sight" discussion still. Was The Thing trying to spark another conversation? Chance shifts curiously. And then they notice a highlighted figure that is suspiciously Jason-shaped.
Last man standing. Against Taph. Those usually ended in gruesome chases... with Taph having no time to defend himself. Everyone becomes a little tenser.
"Because the killer will always say: a survivor would never stand flat against the wall to escape me." Sure enough, it shows Taph. Walking up against a wall. Flat against it. On a last man standing. Against fucking Jason.
Jason looks 50 shades of offended, and 20 more of "what the fuck." John Doe isn't even surprised, since his whole thing is strategic killing. That, and he knows a thing or two about blending in- he's had dumbasses approach him in confusion (me. Those dumbasses were me, the author).
1x1x1x1's 99% sure that can only do so much to track time, since they all have means of tracking down enemies... C00lkidd's being more indirect than the rest, but still functional.
Taph seems happy about his technique. His outfit is dark-colored so it's easier to hide in the gloomy nights of the killing games, and they know the best hiding spots and a few ways to play tricks on the mind thanks to their experience with traps.
...How long had it been since they had seen the sun? The thought makes it hard to be proud of his dark outfit blending in. He almost wishes it didn't. Almost. Those killers would take advantage too.
"And I am actually in-fact that survivor. So the killer would never think to look for something so stupid aka me."
It then shows Taph successfully setting a tripmine, and walking away.
[Tiktok by @x1baru]
For once, nobody isults the shit out of Jason. Cause that's just psychological warfare at this point, you can't even react to that. Well, except Shedletsky, he's giggling in his corner. 1x1x1x1 hates the sound. Fucking pig.
Two Time is, quite frankly, gobsmacked so many people are JUST finding out about this. Back at the cult, it had seemed like such a basic piece of information... "May the Spawn bless you with fortune in your endeavor to learn how to blend in." Some encouragement would surely motivate them to give it a try!
"Thanks man," the encouragement is a bit creepy to people who aren't part of his cult, but hey, the effort counts!
Dusekkar wisely chooses not to articulate his distaste. He does NOT care about the Spawn, thank you very much.
"Well..." Elliot looks... awkward. Confused. "Would I even manage?"
"...I'm not sure if praying to the Spawn for a new skin color is acceptable." How Two Time managed to say that with a straight face is beyond them. Shedletsky [another man with yellow skin] laughs for the following 15 minutes, Noob and Mafioso seem very torn because they also have yellow skin.
"...You could have just told him to get better clothes," if even Mafioso steps in, you know you're cooked.
"To be fair, your head alone is recognizable from, what? Half the map maybe? Not sure what Elliot can do there," Chance can confirm, having done a few successful headshots to the bastard.
"Are we ignorin' the fact Taph was wearin' bright pink in the clip 'n' still managed to escape Jason?" Builderman, the actually smart one, took his sweet time responding. When the world needed him most, he vanished type shit.
The room is quiet as it realizes how fucking stupid it is.
"Ahem, that implies pink isn't good at blending in," Pr3typriincess pipes up darkly.
Bluudud tells it to her fucking face: "it's not."
"As if bright blue is any better!"
"Oh yeah? Well 007n7 wears it and he's outwit MULTIPLE killers! Not just one!"
"Don't both suck when you're glowing?" C00lkidd points out.
"SHUT UP, C00LKIDD!"
"Can you all shut up?" John Doe finally intervenes, and cause he's a horror legend since before the killing games, EVERYONE shuts up.
Shedletsky's laughter awkwardly rings out in the quiet room cause he doesn't have respect for anyone and the 15 minutes haven't passed yet.
"Shut the fuck up before I poison both your fried chicken legs." And would you guess who it is? 1x1x1x1 of course!
007n7 looks visibly exasperated at the swearing. All these 10 years training himself to never drink, smoke, swear or do anything of that nature so C00lkidd wouldn't be influenced into adding more vices into his young list, down the drain... well... he would've found out eventually, but still.
"What does fuck mean?" ... sigggh "Don't say that..." "Okay!"
"Just like that?!" Chance sputters out. The entire fucking room is looking at 007n7 and C00lkidd cause ain't no way that kid listens to dad and still ended up a fucking killer. "You mean to say, we could've just had 007n7 tell him to stop, and that'd be it?" Elliot looks fucking pissed. Understandable.
"You overestimate our available options," it's 1x1x1x1 this time. He's the only one whose mind hasn't been deluded and warped to participate in the killing games, and that's only because he's a natural born killer. Mafioso thought everyone here had debts to pay off or were enemies or something (or he was hired to kill them. No other logical explanation, but 1x1x1x1 doesn't know him well enough to be certain).
The kids didn't even know they were killing until after the rounds ended, in which they wandered aimlessly and slowly, agonizingly realized the weight of their actions.
Gasharpoon didn't know what was going on either, last he heard the guy thought they were chasing... mermaids? Whales? He couldn't fucking remember.
Jason was driven batshit crazy by his mom.
John Doe was corrupted beyond recognition, and the one thing keeping him SOMEWHAT sane was erased from his memories.
And... well, he has no fucking idea about the purple guy, but he didn't exactly seem like himself. Perhaps corrupted by something? It'd explain the glitches at least.
None of them really had much of a choice. None except 1x1x1x1, and he's long resigned himself into being a "bad guy." It was kind of annoying to hear some guy acting like they did.
"Elliot," Guest1337 finally intervenes. "Calm down. We don't know how far that thing will go to defend us if we agitate the killers."
...
Elliot backs down biting his lips so hard 007n7 is kind of worried he'll start bleeding then and there.
"Where's the next video?" Taph is the one to talk ne- WHAT?
Right... he can talk now...
Noob straightens their dumbfounded face as they remember. "Ah, uh, m-maybe it's waiting for us to finish talking?"
They wait again.
Until suddenly, 007n7, C00lkidd and company and Dusekkar perk up as if they felt something. A silence stretches on, like they're waiting for one to speak, before Dusekkar finally talks. "A shift in the place, perhaps as a saving grace?"
"I like your funny words, magic man," Bluudud like Dusekkar's pumpkin enough to compliment him.
"..?" Dusekkar's, understandably, not sure how to respond to that.
"The uh, the realm we're in is made with code and magic... there was a really jarring change, I think a new area's been added..." 007n7 elaborates, looking around as if he had felt some sort of fissure. A door?
"So, a break room..." Builderman summarizes.
"That... was quick..?" Noob wasn't one to go without a bang. Taph even more so, and they were visibly disappointed. Just when they had finally gotten videos of him...
"I wonder if they have Fried Chicken!" [If you need me to tell you who said that, do you even play Forsaken?]
"Fatass," Count number 1 from 1x1x1x1 already struck where it hurt- Shedletsky was NOT fat, thank you very much! He uses swords! ...Just cause he was retired doesn't mean he was THAT fat!
"Grease... ugh..." Count number 2 was from an 11 year old child who, for whatever adminforsaken reason (pun not intende sybau), was almost as tall as he was. Elliot flinched.
"Seriously, lay off on the junk food..." count number 3 was from fucking Elliot (bro is trying to focus on anything else BUT Pr3typriincess and the way she said the word-), a pizza delivery guy, which really just added salt on to the wound. Aren't you supposed to encourage junk food?! Don't you get your paycheck feeding fatasses, which he is not?!
"...Keep it to yourself. More room for us when you fail to escape." count number 4 was by Mr. I Am Responsible For The Man On Your Milk Carton, Mr. I'm The People Momma Warns You of, who honest to God thought he was a fucking killer.
"I have 2 fried chickens a round to heal and suddenly you make it seem like it's my ENTIRE FUCKING PERSONALITY!"
"If you were actually useful and didn't miss your stuns spectacularly or eat while you were getting attacked, we wouldn't be here." Since when was Elliot such a diva?
"I don't even miss that often!"
Chapter 3: Here we go again
Summary:
IM UNIRONICALLY CRYING. 2 BOOKMARKS AND SOME KUDOS. INAVXOABXIABXUJQHDJAJS IM SORRY FOR BEING SUCH AN ATTENTION WHORE BUT OMG WHAT
Ok ok so ir ealized relall fuckign late i can um. Make the stuff on the screen. Bold.
So... yeah ill do that next chapter... sorry.I have to add a self-harm and panic attack tag i think :skull:
no excuse btw I was literally js lazy abt this and I had to watch a few reactions to motivate myself to make this :3 worts part is this probably sucks ass but yk its whatever.
Chapter Text
Break-time was pretty normal. Avoiding the killers, tentatively eating, taking naps, or gossiping. Noli was eavesdropping conversations and asking questions, Guest1337 and Builderman were watching him as if his body language would somehow tell them everything they know, all and all it was nothing special.
They all teleported back to the TV room spontaneously, with the door leading to the break room vanishing. Before anyone can even speak, the TV is turning on. Shedletsky leans back where he's sitting, lifting up an eyebrow as he scans the roon. Again, 007n7 is sitting with a bunch of killers. The guy looks visibly uncomfortable.
Now that he's really taking a good look at the killers, he realizes C00lkidd hasn't been as energetic before as he is now. Is he trying to fill in the silence? Or did it have to do with their previous conversation?
1x1x1x1's face is unreadable, but that's nothing new.
John Doe... where had he been during the break actually?
Bluudud seems to be ranting about the videos to anyone who'll listen (aka 007n7, Noli and the other demon children), how there isn't enough of him.
And then Noli... Shedletsky doesn't really like this guy, he could've sworn they were familiar... but if he'd met them before, their everything was ruined beyond recognition.
...Say, that star seems familiar...
Before Shedletsky can dwell on the thought, the next video is playing. There's text at the top reading "HOW DOES YOUR WEAKNESS GET THIS BAD?" and Lacrimosa playing dramatically in the background.
It shows Mafioso running after Chance in his red suit in the Glass Houses map.
Pr3typriincess speaks up, "Maybe that pink suit would've been luckier." Of course.
The chase intensifies, and Chance himself seems nervous. He's lost count of the times they've been chased by Mafioso, so he himself isn't sure what happens next.
Mafioso misses a hit, illiciting a cold huff from the real Mafioso. He'll catch him for sure...
"Is this another video humiliating the killers?" Chance smiles smugly, trying to hide his worry and convince himself. So far, there hasn't been much gore...
But then, Mafioso has Chance cornered, and they realize there might be another kill. Guest1337 clenches his hands, and Elliot sighs in resignation. Of everyone, those two are the ones who hate failing their comrades the most...
Sure enough, Mafioso uses Walkspeed Override. But the serious moment is cut short when 282 shows up on the screen.
The room goes quiet, Chance looking awkwardly stunned and not at all guilty considering the implications.
Oh yeah, Mafioso remembers that... well, at least his pride is kept intact this time.
"Every day is a day I'm convinced my pizzas are wasted on you." Emotional damage.
"Who the fuck gambles mid-chase?" 1x1x1x1 isn't particularly upset his job is made easier, just confused.
"...As I said, that pink suit would've probably been luckier."
"Ugh, no, blue for sure!"
"I liked his suit-"
"SHUT UP C00LKIDD!"
[Tiktok by @nookos]
The next video plays out. It's 1x1x1x1's perspective this time, his vision is completely blurry, but a survivor is highlighted. It's in Planet Voss, with a text reading "What weakness did zawg have" and a wilted flower emoji. Who could've guessed 1x was so informal in that head of his...
"Wait, you're blind?" Taph and Noob synchronized, while Guest1337 and Builderman seemed to be trying to think of explanations.
The 1x1x1x1 on the screen misses an attack, so they keep talking. "No... it's a backlash of Unstable Eye. It highlights survivors, but my sight is momentarily ruined." Oh... that makes a lot of sense actually. No wonder he snipes across the fucking map...
"This could be used to make traps, if not attack him directly..." Guest 1337 remarks, but 1x1x1x1 practically growls. It was probably a grunt or sharp huff, but his glitchy voice makes it sound like a growl. "You wish. It doesn't last that long." Taph seems visibly disappointed. Sure enough, in the video, the blurriness is fading, revealing Chance. They kinda figured from the whole weakness thing.
Then, 1x1x1x1 charges a Mass Infection.
37079 damage.
"You-?!"
"What the actual FUCK?"
"Can you PLEASE stop gambling when a murderer is under 10 feet near you?!"
"...Consider me impressed."
"1 w0nd3r h0w h19h th3 numb3r c4n g3t..."
"...That must've hurt..."
"How the FUCK do you get it to 37k damage?"
As cacophony rings out, C00lkidd and Shedletsky laugh like the goofballs they are, Elliot has to hold back a snort [because atp bro can't even feel bad. He does but man... Chance is a walking meme], and Chance is waiting for silence with visible embarrassment,
"...It was past the triple digits." [like commenters all had diff answers so um...]
...
How do you even react to that?
The silence hurts his ego more verbal judgement ever will. Goddamn. The emotional agony of ts. Man.
"...Maybe you would've been luckier if you-"
"We're not doing this again, BLUE IS BETTER!"
"NO! Pink is!"
"Oh for the love of..." Elliot. Of course. He gives tired mom vibes, ngl, so it makes sense.
[Tiktok by @Ncmxji :D]
The next video begins while everyne's bombastic side-eyeing Chance with the disappointment of the stereotypical mother. For WHATEVER reason in the admin's big vast Robloxia, Shedletsky and 1x1x1x1 were on the bridge of the island, facing a stranger. At the top there's "don't EVER say that shit again bro :broken heart emoji:"
"Wha..?" Builderman seems troubled. Could killers access the docks of their cabin? There was no reason to think so, and that was even worse. They had never bothered looking for the killers mid-rounds, perhaps that was a mistake.
What does that mean? Chance wonders.
Noob pales, suddenly sweating enough to water a garden, and internally, Guest1337 couldn't help but sigh. It's almost as if the entire room didn't already have enough of a hard time with paranoia and nightmares. "Taph, we're gonna need you to start setting traps in the cabins..."
Elliot shifts uncomfortably. Of the survivors, he was possibly amongst the most defenseless. Before he can ask to bunk with anyone though, 1x1x1x1 (the one in the screen) says, and I quote, "hey bee bee gee"
"Huh?"
Before anyone can comment on the sheer absurdity of the embodiment of hatred's informality, the Shedletsky on the screen approaches and proceeds to spam-slash his sword.
"Oh- oh-" Elliot's... relieved? "Wait, so why were you and 1x1x1x1 even together? Who was that?"
Shedletsky suddenly found his shoes very very fascinating. "Uuh... just someone who got lost."
1x1x1x1 had to answer the question everyone was ACTUALLY waiting for on behalf of Shedletsky, without exposing their relationship of course, "Coincidence." Oh, nevermind, that was fucking useless
Shedletsky's viscious assault reached like... holy shit that's 940 damage... the video kept repeating from there.
"...That was personal," Bluudud commented, visibly amused. "I think repeated murder causes some personal feelings." Chance points out. Bluudud's amused grin fell after that. Right... murder. They were all murderers. And nobody would forgive them.
...
Elliot finally makes his request, "Uh... actually, could I bunk with... someone? I don't think I feel safe after that video." Bluudud sighs, trying to seem in-character, like he finds Elliot's very very reasonable fear stupid. He's in too deep, even with the Thing's influence mostly out, acting this way, feeling stupid, it feels like second nature after so long of it... how long had they been like this, for it to be so deeply engrained?...
Before he can say what he wants to say, Pr3typriincess cuts in, maybe having realized his head wasn't here. "Relax, we can't actively go to your campsite. It's blocked off, except on off days. And that's when we're not asleep.
"Off days" is the collective term everyone came up with for when the Thing wasn't as strict with its restrictions. Nobody really knows why it happens, but they usually do stupid shit when it does. Like that video, just.... not with killers usually...
"Asleep?"
Aaand I appear! "Aaayup!"
"AH!" [that was noob. dawg how tf do u write dialogue's dialoguer without being repetitive...]
"...Ahem. That aside," it respectfully decides NOT to make fun of someone's trauma-induced fears and YOU should too! "The killers are usually placed in a limbo between rounds, and when they aren't they're in their own corner of the world. It feels something liiiike.... a realistic dream."
"Huh..."
The survivors had always seen their hunters as a ruthless, unstoppable force. The Spectre seemed to just... nudge them a bit. But evidence strongly suggested that-
"Man. That thing has the killers on a leash." ...Chance oh-so generously cuts me off like a piece of shit. I'd call his mom a comedian but it's not funny (you can decide whether I mean the joke or Chance).
It's a disturbing thought. Just when they thought the killing games couldn't get creepier...
[Tiktok by @anthonygooby]
The thing disappears, and with it, the next little video begins.
Chance is wearing his red suit again, a detail that earns a big, silly grin from C00lkidd. He likes red!
The demon doesn't even notice Chance is injured and standing close to a generator in the Glass Houses map, perhaps the Thing's magic is still having a slight effect on him. 007n7 seems a bit worried for Chance, but seeing C00lkidd smiling at the gambler's precarious situation reignites the conflicted feelings about his son and the monster he had become again.
He knows he never was the best father, but the sight makes it worse.
"The old gens'?" Builderman observes, "How long has that thing been watchin' us 'n' doin' nothing?"
Wow, it's as if the atmosphere couldn't get even WORSE. Thanks Builderman!!
Suddenly, 007n7 walks up to Chance on the screen. Specifically, the generator. Suddenly, the once-familiar beeping sound goes wild. 007n7 is visibly moving with effort from spamming the generators. The dude looks wayy too casual, and Chance is clumsily moving around him, seemingly trying to give him an incredulous stare. It's the last generator, too. Wtf.
"OH! That! I remember that!" Chance declared. "Seriously dude, how? Why?"
Guest1337 arrives to the scene, fashionably late, as per usual. And by the time he arrives, the generator's screen goes white, and smoke starts coming out of it.
Everyone turns to 007n7 like they're waiting for him to confess he had, in fact, killed their mothers. Except Noli, the guy just laughs, "3h4h- H4H4Hhhha-HA" it's a disturbing mishmash of random memes and what people presume is Noli's real voice, "N1c3 0n3, s3v3n." The fact 007n7 had done it in the middle of a murdering game is what REALLY made it funny.
007n7 was torn between feeling bad and laughing. He smiles weakly, hoping he doesn't seem too genuine to the survivors- he can't make an even WORSE impression on them, "Uh, thanks.."
The 007n7 in the screen then has the audacity to walk away.
"That... I didn't know that could happen..." Elliot's too busy taking the murdering games seriously and getting his passive up to do this kind of bullshit, of course he doesn't.
"I-is that why the thing changed the generators? So th-they're uh... explosion-proof?" Noob suggests hesitantly.
Before Builderman or anyone smart can entertain the thought, a certain chicken dude clasps his hands dramatically. "SO IT WAS YOU! 007n7, my life is yours!"
Oh yeah, Shedletsky was really bad at the old generators.
"Bud, just say thank you for fucking with the Spectre..." Rare moment where Chance is the sane one.
[Tiktok by @demoniaic]
"I-" Taph begins, but cuts off. He's been doing that a lot, [its giving chirping </3] since he's not used to talking. Everyone looks at him, giving him time to speak. "I- Gl-Gla..." he clears his throat, pausing, as if trying to remember how he's supposed to move his mouth. He never learned how to mouth, since he always covers his face anyway...
"J-just reeall.. realized... everyth-thhiing happe... i-in Glassh houshe!"
You can feel Taph's embarrassment from across the room. Guest1337, who usually faced his emotions head-on and encouraged his daughter to do her best, decides to encourage him, "You did great for a first time."
Chance, who'd rather avoid his feelings, totally ignores Taph's struggle and just talks to him as if it were normal, "Wait, he's got a point. It's always either Planet Voss or Glass Houses."
"Is that where it's easiest to watch us?" Elliot suggests, but this is quickly disproved, "Nope! That's completely a coincidence, I have no idea why bullshit keeps happening there."
The next video plays after a prolongued moment of silence.
For whatever adminforsaken reason, it has 007n7 and Noob, comically disturbed but dancing in front of a background image of Glass Houses. At the top of the screen is a text reading "Noob and 007n7 in the corner while all the other survivors are fighting for their lives" and there's some catchy music in the background.
"Okay wait, I do more than tha-!" Noob is promptly cut off by an eager C00lkidd, "Dad, you can dance?!" Bluudud doesn't see the point, but Pr3typriincess is intrigued at the idea.
"Uuh...-" 007n7 is cut off by Noli, who is grinning wide (and probably dishonestly), "Sur3 h3 c4n."
Wait, they know each other? Before Chance can comment, Pr3typriincess cuts in.
"Hmm, maybe I should invite you to more of my tea parties. If nothing else, I'm sure you could entertain me."
"Okay, but seriously, I do more than just stand in a corner..!" Noob repeats a bit desperately. They really try..!
"...sometimes," Shedletsky corrects shamelessly.
"007n7 is either making things harder than they need to be, as shown previously, or off where the sun doesn't shine," Elliot summarizes. And yeah, it checks out.
John Doe FINALLY talks again, tbh I should prob save that finally for when Two Time finally gets out their hole, "For once, I have to agree."
"I thought so," Two Time slides into the conversation [FINALLY OMGGUWEDUD-], seeming to know a thing or two on John Doe's grudge against 007n7. "I have seen 007n7 use his clones to undo John Doe's digital footprint. I deeply thank the Spawn for his intervention, for without it I'd have been stuck."
"He can do that?" Noob pauses, realizing it makes sense... "Actually, I'm not sure why I'm surprised... I try to use my Slateskin potion for the same thing." Noob's self-confidence recovers a bit. They're not useless, they're just... specialized, maybe! He can undo traps, tank hits, and waste time.
007n7's ego isn't really bruised or anything cause he has already acknowledged his place is wasting the killer's time and being a massive piece of shit.
[Tiktok by @poopfart4lifer]
The next video begins. It's Two Time walking on to the castle of Brandon6875935's Place. They're wearing those thumbless gloves and all.
"It's time... OH OH!"
Bluudud has this really really pissed look on his face, "This sounds like something Pr3typriincess would like..." it's said as an insult, earning a glare from the aforementioned demon child.
"Not to be rude but that music does NOT match Two Time," Chance proclaims without a hint of shame.
Two Time throws an unreadable glance Chance's way before looking back at the screen. They don't exactly like being the center of attention, but whatever.
Two Time walks past Guest1337, seemingly trying to pass through the castle... an odd turn. Were they trying to jupe a killer? No, probably just looking around.
As Two Time walks down the slope, a dead body suddenly gets ragdolled at the end of where they were walking. They pause almost comedically, the upbeat music dying down into this... ambiance or whatever as they just take a moment to stare at the unidentifiable dead body. At the top of the screen, "I don't care what did that, that's a BIG no for me." Two Time, understandably, turns right back around in a sprint.
"Do your job," Elliot rebukes exasperatedly, turning over at Two Time with this tired look that's kinda annoyed, but like also "lowkey tho? real </3" cause what the actual fuck.
[TikTok by @i_have_autism261]
"Apologies... it was an off-day. Since then, the Spawn has blessed me with greater confidence," Two Time somehow turned that into a conversation about the Spawn, again. They ate FR.
Dusekkar, even with that pumpkin, looks like, more shades of offended than the eye of a fucking shrimp can percieve at the mention of the Spawn. Builderman seems to notice and has to do a double take, then looks back at Two Time, and leans in close to Dusekkar, "Who pissed in yer cereal?"
"...Self-proclaimed "disillusioned" fools dedicated to lies painted as rules."
Meanwhile, Mafioso's eyeing up C00lkidd, suspecting it's him because of the last video they saw. He is somehow more capable than some of his goons. Hm... could he somehow put that eagerness to lead to use? He and those other kids don't seem to mind murder anyway, might as well. But how could he achieve that without putting his own leadership at risk...
Elsewhere, 007n7 feels a jolt somewhere. His bullshit senses are tingling, as are his dad senses. Something's up... he glances around and spots The Look on Mafioso's face. "...Ahem."
And now Mafioso faces yet ANOTHER problem. That dude.
The next video begins before Mafioso can contemplate child labour any further.
Already, there's a lot to focus on. There's Jason in the background- the real Jason crosses his arms, having nothing to say. Hasn't had anything to say since the start, anyway. Taph seems to be... are those back-shots or twerking? Shedletsky's dead, Brighteyes is at 72%, an Elliot at 95%, and everyone else at 100%, but the killer wasn't even MOVING, and there's some material girl type music playing in the background.
Next, Elliot... for whatever reason... throws a pizza at... Taph? Jason? Thing is, Taph is at 100% so what even is the point? Taph walks away at the last moment, and somehow it's JASON who eats the pizza??
"What." 1x1x1x1 looks at the pizza's final flight like it personally offended him because this is blatant favorism- why can't HE pick up pizzas??? But he's a sniper so he soon realizes Jason wasn't the one to eat it, it was the other Elliot
Chance pauses, his 4 braincells twirling around like a loading symbol. "...A new feature?" This could prevent survivors from regeneration in the long-run, and avoid... bizarre killer deaths. Not good.
The scene is then followed by the music going "I'm walkin' I'm walkin' I'm walkin'," and the two Elliots walking in perfect sync. Not ONCE has Jason moved.
Long, long pause. Shedletsky suddenly cries out- "WHAT?" The survivors all thought the killers didn't like pizza or were too busy or something, idk!!
Jason finally speaks up, and lo and behold... he still speaks in ki ki ma mas or whatever. So I'm rlly nice tho so I translate "He means to say, that's probably nonsense."
Guest1337 looks genuinely exasperated, "Guys, the second Elliot got healed..."
Awkward silence cause everyone feels stupid as shit. "Y-you should've saved it for that Brighteyes..." Noob points out hesitantly. Elliot was doing pretty well, and the killer was just... standing there, they could've booked it to safety.
"Wait, why WAS Jason just standing there anyway?"
"Ki ma ma ki ma." "ahGHEM, he means it's the Spectre's influence. Think of what happens during... weird dizziness spells, unexplainable deaths, or just prolongued... dissociation or whatever the word is.." (in game: lag, reseting/quitting mid-round, AFK).
[Tiktok by @aliteralchurro]
C00lkidd seems pretty disappointed though, "I wanna try pizza..."
It's reassuring knowing the killers can't get healed by Elliot's pizzas. Must be the Spectre's influence again... "Say, what happens if a killer DID eat pizza?" Chance asks, mostly just as a joke.
And I'm js standing there like a fuckin dumbass cause I aint ever heard that. "Uh... I'd imagine it's a reaction like rabies to water or sumthin where the Spectre's influence forces their body to violently and painfully regurgitate it with throat spasms, if not develop a phobia around it altogether?"
...
C00lkidd suddenly does NOT wanna try pizza anymore.
"What the fuck, dude." Bluudud also looks kinda traumatized now. Pr3typriincess shrugs from her little corner, "An appropriate reaction to grease." The word coming from her mouth specifically, in that tone no less, makes Elliot flinches again. His throat almost tightens. It's even more like her killing sprees. Noob hesitantly places a hand on his before he can feel her hands on his throat. "SO... um, what's your favorite drink?" they ask hopelessly. Admins save them cause it sounds like he's asking Elliot out but he hopes the sheer stupidity of it all, if not the friendly topic, can ease Elliot's mind.
Elliot has to do a double take cause that is WAY too bold, ESPECIALLY by Noob's standards. His hands still feel weak as shit, he has to blink a few times to process he is, in fact, somewhere with light.... light that isn't pink...
he focuses on the dark floor, trying to focus on the question. A.. a drink he likes... Bloxy soda probably would've been a more convenient pick, if not for the constant chugging of it in this hell-hole- it works with pizza, gives a boost of energy, and is maybe just a smidge addictive. He swallows thickly. "I... I don't have one anymore..." he hates how he sounds like he's about to cry.
Guest1337's starting to notice, but seeing Noob trying to help, he stays quiet. Elliot may get overwhelmed with the attention. He does, however, scooch closer to the guy. He always found comfort in being in the company of those who have kept him safe, so... he hopes it helps even now.
The next video begins.
Shedletsky is on the run, and Pr3typriincess is chasing after him. Great. As if someone wasn't on the verge of a panic attack about Pr3typriincess. Guest1337 grabs Shedletsky and brute-forces him in front of Elliot to hide his view of the bright pink light from the TV, earning a comical, incomprehensible... "BWUAEKGH" sound that sounds vaguely like a "bawk" from a chicken. For a moment, everyone has to glance over incredulously.
Seeing Shedletsky's fatass, they turn right back around to look at the TV. Shedletsky's there too... maybe he was just embarrassed at whatever was gonna happen here. Anyway, Shedletsky seems to be standing RIGHT IN FRONT of Pr3typriincess to distract her from Builderman, who's desperately limping away.
The real Shedletsky turns around indignantly, and then sees Noob holding Elliot's violently shaking hands. His expression falls immediately, and the guy's... not really sure what to do. "I-I probably like coffee..." Elliot mutters. Noob hums, a little smile- albeit a very weak one on their lips, "I like cocktails... they're great at parties, ac-" "not gonna lie, you both seem like you'd rock at parties," Shedletsky seems to have realized they're supposed to distract Elliot from... whatever's making him freak out. Noob brightens a bit, "I was gonna say that, heh... what's your favorite drink?"
Now. What do you do when your friend is on the verge of a panic attack?
Be a fucking dumbass obviously. "Fry oil."
Everyone involved freezes, turning towards him with this look of mild horror. "...What?" Guest1337 just barely manages to muster. "Y'know, oil after it was used to fry fries."
Back on to the video, Pr3typriincess is getting too close to Shedletsky and thus Builderman for comfort, but the timer's ticking down. Taph is practically shaking in his seat, thinking they were about to win. Builderman has the decency to look a little annoyed.
007n7 thinks back to his previous hypothesis, and wonders... if he were to turn around and look at Pr3typriincess' reaction, would he like what he saw? Does he want to? He's not sure he could quite withstand it, whether she's giggling like a demented killer or blank-faced like a solider. But these kids were under his guardianship, at least until their parents were present...
He dares to look at her and Bluudud.
They're not happy, or even disgusted or something. Just... tired. Tired in a way a child shouldn't be. Tired in the way Guest1337 is and was even before the games started. Tired in the way they all are, honestly.
For whatever fucking reason, a part of him almost wished she'd just burst out in giggles, saying, "Heh... revenge," or something about her favorite bow. Anything. But she just looks guilty instead.
They weren't doing this of their own accord.
007n7 swallows thickly, turning back to the screen but not really processing what happens next.
They weren't doing this. But they were aware of every. Single. Moment.
Pr3typriincess strikes, seemingly aiming for Shedletsky... but somehow grabbing Builderman by the throat while he was vulnerable and lifting him into the air, delivering her usual sassy, disdainful comments before killing him. Shedletsky froze, turning over in incredulity. He was the one who was supposed to get hit..? Pr3typrincess seems just as confused, even as she kills Builderman.
Mafioso is once more reminded of Plan Child Labour, realizing ts is lowkey OP asf. Girly studied the hitboxes or something. Two Time suddenly wonders something- could it be one must practice the art of the Hitboxes like the Spawn? Could it be one could... gain blessings from the hitbox?
Chance looks like that one meme with the guy's shocked face close up, that black dude-
[Tiktok by @looselogan]
There's this awkwardly stretched out moment of silence. A few of the killers hear murmuring and their eyes are drawn to Elliot and Noob. Elliot was still a little stressed out, if doing better. John Doe's empty eyes sharpen ever so slightly, but it can't bring back the life they once had.
Elliot can get triggered... John Doe's corrupted heart has no sympathy left, not when most emotions and memories have been corrupted beyond comprehension. So, the first thing he wonders, is how he can use this to his advantage. Would triggering him mid-round provide an easy kill? btw js so u can imagine, his voice SUCKS ASS, it's like a zombie and a computer virus has a child which is technically what Noli is so his 4th breaking wall ass looks MILDLY offended but you get the fucking point. John Doe's claws shift a bit- he may be corrupted to a zombie-like state, but his wits are, at the very least, the one thing he still has.
Pr3typriincess freezes up a bit, pursing her usually venomous lips at the sight of one of her many victims panicking. After a video of her no less... did she cause this? Was this her fault? Perhaps in a moment of helplessness, she turns to 007n7 like she once did when he showed her how the C00lgui worked. He seems a bit panicked too.
He noticed her look, and smiled at her, but it didn't reach his eyes, "Don't worry about that."
How could she not worry about that? She was a murderer for fuck's sake, and the actions of her consequences were right there. This was her fault. Her doing. Her claws were bloody, they'd forever be bloody.
Forever.
This wasn't just a game anymore- no, it never was. No number of resets or tea could remove that. She mutters to Bluudud while 007n7 is distracted by Elliot, and C00lkidd notices thanks to his enhanced perception. "...No number of resurrections are ever gonna bring them back." And for whatever reason, it had just clicked.
For every death, for every useless resurrection, a part of them would always stay dead. They'd never be unburdened again.
And they played a part in it.
C00lkidd's face was blank, and then he turned back to Elliot. And then 007n7. Once dead, always dead. The only thing that changes is how. And unfortunately, they learned that far too young.
Bluudud felt really fucking out of it. They probably all did. It's hard to focus on anything but Elliot's face. It's hard to forget the weight of their sins and the familiar "cake" on their hands. To think they had thought it was just... some snacks... or some mud...
Pr3typriincess dug her claws into her palm. To "sheathe" them.
Back with Elliot and Noob, Shedletsky's comment surprisingly... helped? Elliot can breathe a little easier anyway. Who could've guessed?.. Certainly not him. Noob was sitting close to him, still holding his hand to make sure he was doing okay. Elliot smiles. Actually smiles. This... this is nice.
...
Things take a moment to de-escalate. People seem to realize they're just stalling time, probably. idk. That or they js don't wanna draw this out. Noli's sitting there awkwardly cause he's basicall the new kid and he's pretty sure half the room is having an existential crisis and he's still thinking about outdated memes. Fuckin' awkward dude.
A video suddenly plays.
..or not? It's just a simple text. "1x1x1x1's favourite car is the 2002 Honda Accord."
Many eyebrows are raised. For once, Shedletsky even had the confidence to look at his creation from the corner. Chance looks between the screen and the Embodiment of Hatred himself. "So..." he drawls out dumbly. "...Nice car..."
"Better question," Builderman's pinching the bridge of his nose, "can the supposed embodiment of hatred even like things?" And you know, it's a pretty good question. If you ignore the fact 1x1x1x1 seems genuinely pissed about it. A/N rq, does 1x1x1x1 liking something mean Shedletsky hates it. Like. in a "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" way? Or in the "Im this dudes hatred so i like whatever he hates" way? But like Im PRETTY SURE (hc </3) 1x1x1x1 is a manifestation of self-hatred cause bro was born hating shedletsky. anyway idk.
C00lkidd's response is late, since he's still fucked up from seeing Elliot freak out and realizing the consequences of his actions. "He's pretty cool!" "I-I feel like that's biased..." Noob points out. C00lkidd presses on, "He lets me play with him."
1x1x1x1 looks grumpy, his anger quelled by the fact the brat came to his defense. He's not exactly happy cause I genuinely expect his emotions (aside from hate) to be watered down (not non-existent tho), but if u wanna imagine it that way, he'd probably be "tee-hee"ing in secret but grumbling in front of everyone. Tsundere 1x1x1x1 </3
"Didn't take him for the babysitter type," Chance tried to whisper to Guest1337 but everyone ended up hearing him.
007n7 is trying to decide whether he wants to sob or feel relieved. On one hand, his child... or uh, children..? They all have people to keep them safe and entertained- 1x1x1x1 and, from his previous experiences, Mafioso. On the other... they're both killer. Well... that didn't exactly stop him before... sigh.
The video then shows a picture of a 2002 Honda Accord... probably, there isn't exactly google here to check. With a dramatic "PAM" sound, 1x1x1x1 appears next to it, out of place, like a picture glued over another.
1x1x1x1 lets out a "hmp" sound.
Personally, Mafioso prefers bugattis-
[Tiktok by @x140_tr]
The next video plays. This takes place in the C00l Carnival, specifically near that ramp thing everyone jupes the killer at, but like in front the van. Guest1337 and Princess Two Time are in a full on battle with 1x1x1x1... no really, how does Two Time look good in a dress..? And do you call them a she? anyway, it's a full blow anime battle, everyone's side-stepping and dodging each other, and Chance is in his red outfit-
much to C00lkidd's weak excitement, but when he turns around, Pr3typriincess is completely zoned out. It felt like his heart stopped for a moment. He's not sure what he's feeling, but he does know it's unpleasant.
Chance aims his gun, but in the stress of the situation, 1x1x1x1 aims for Two Time, weapon at the ready, and misses the bullet. Chance makes an escape- without his charges, he's a liability. He tries to get up the Ferris wheel, but he passes by 007n7 and Dusekkar, both of which were staring at him with these blank facial expressions, like there wasn't a ferocious battle just there. They both SYNCHRONIZED and turned to Chance in utter disappointment. PERFECT SYNCH BTW.
"Neve' seen ye together," Builderman comments, not having known those two even knew each other.
""Twas but a moment of soul-connecting disappointment," Dusekkar began, "While a potent sign of friendship, such a treasure's ointment, is merely time." [3AM speak: nah our souls deadass js connected for a sec LOL]
The scene replays again, before it shows Chance getting up and backing himself into a corner while 007n7 walks up to him and demands he turn around. If it weren't for The Tiktok Roasting You Music(TM) Chance would've probably sounded like a chicken from humiliated laughter.
Two Time's smile grows a little more strained as they speak, "007n7, what unholy action would you have done had Chance turned around, if I may? Do know the Spawn has standards..."
It's Bluudud that pulls out the big guns, "What he means is, are you gay?"
....
007n7 only has a moment to glance at the rapidly growing smirk on Noli's face before he can scream out: "NO." And now he looks fucking homophobic. "Ahem, I-I mean-" Noob cuts in, "Uum... we don't judge..." "It's not that..!"
[TikTok by: @_d1gnity]
Your truly suddenly appears in a "draw me like one of your French girls" pose "oohh... j'm'enuiieee..." so OBVIOUSLY I had to speak in french. "Allez, allez..."
What has it so "woe is me?" It's not the one being forced to watch privacy-violating videos, nor the one whose death is getting laughed at...
But hey, the door appeared! Everyone fucks right off cause food's there. Noli could tell 007n7 wasn't leaving, but neither were those kids... not exactly the private moment he was hoping for. Should he stay?.. As much as he kind of wants to, something makes him walk away anyway.
[A/N: I would love to give Noli and 007n7 more attention but I don't really know their dynamic just yet cause LMS stuff is coming in a future update. I don't know what's been going on since 007n7 got C00lkidd, and I sincerely doubt it was an immediate divorce- heck I like to think they stayed in contact until a certain point, but I wanna wait to see if any official stuff will be released on the matter, so for now, I'll just make cheap excuses. Sorry if they don't make sense. Cheers!]
1x1x1x1 is looking forward to the dried limes, but then something stops him. 007n7 was frowning, glancing at the kids- C00lkidd was looking away like he was hiding something, Bluudud seemed... disturbed... and Pr3typriincess... fuck knows what happened to her.
1x1x1x1 considers going off to get those snacks, but...
"Pr3typriincess..?" 007n7 began hesitantly. Like saying it would somehow break something. It probably almost did, because she clenched her fists tighter... and then 1x1x1x1 suddenly realized why 007n7 was hesitating. Her fists. She was digging her claws into her own palm.
"Pr3typriincess, can you focus on me?" he asked her in that horrible voice. It was sad. It was scared. It had this shakiness, like he didn't quite believe this. Like he half expected to wake up from this. But you can't wake up from reality.
1x1x1x1 wasn't thinking about limes anymore. He approached, hoping to help. "Priincess," 007n7 flinched at the sound of his voice. Pathetic.
007n7 ignored 1x1x1x1 after the flinch. He tried to pry at her claws, but the strength of a demon isn't exactly something you can just push off, little girl or not. Is she even a little girl anymore?... ...It doesn't matter. She can be whatever she wants to be seen as. She never had a choice, so he should at least give her one now. "C00lkidd... could you help me with her claws?"
"I'll do it," Bluudud grumbled, being closer and all, using his own freakish strength to pull her claws out of her. 007n7 almost sobbed, but he didn't have the right to. Not right now. And despite the way her muscles seemed locked into position, despite the burning temperature of her claws right now, despite everything, 007n7 took her hand in his and winced HARD when her grip PROBABLY broke his fucking hand. Fuck, her own blood was getting into it and everything. Hah... fuck, he's probably gonna die again. But he doesn't dare let go- he's been killed enough, what's one more time? Perhaps... not as pathetic as I thought, 1x1x1x1 notes.
Pr3typriincess was getting shakier. Now she was hurting other people again.
"Pr3typriincess," 1x1x1x1 spoke up. 007n7 probably couldn't without his voice wavering, and he imagines that'd make it worse. He thinks back to Elliot and Noob... he thought that shit was annoying, but maybe this will help. "...How was our last tea party?"
Bluudud cuts in, "Uh, fucking sucked. She forced me into a tutu."
...Probably a twitch from her claws, judging from the fact 007n7 flinched imperceptibly... 1x1x1x1 was looking kind of worried now, for once. "Shut up... the tea was okay." Pr3typriincess nods imperceptibly at 1x1x1x1's comment. She did do a good job at the tea, she thinks... C00lkidd looks uncomfortable. What does he do in this situation? Dad's hurt. And it's not like candy anymore. It's not mud. It's blood. It's red.
1x1x1x1 continues, "...Can you make us more of that tea, then?"
Bluudud shifts, "...Yeah. More tea." C00lkidd nods eagerly, "Uh, bit more sugar though! Oh, oh, and can you try making biscuits this time?
1x1x1x1 adds; "I'll help."
007n7 nods weakly, trying to bite back the pain. Don't you dare fucking wince... "M'too. Me too."
Pr3typriincess lets out a squeak and a hard-to-notice nod. 007n7 doesn't even spot it.
"Let's go to the break room," 1x1x1x1 insists. Maybe focusing on movement and her surroundings will help. "There's a kichenette there."
It took Pr3typriincess a while before her legs cooperates. She was still gripping 007n7 really really hard, and C00lkidd and Bluudud were prying her other claws out of her palm. C00lkidd got to hold them cause he's js a lil guy </3
Chapter 4: I spent way too long preparing for this
Summary:
BARKBARKABRIABARK 007N7 AND 1X IDK WHY I LIKE THIS PAIR
Notes:
i'd like to mention- 1, the narration could be interpreted as a mish mash of everyone present. Like metaphors and stuff. So basically the informality comes from myself, Chance and Shedletsky. I'm tryna start omitting certain details until characters notice them, probably annoying but whatever.
Another thing is that the reason pr3typriincess is the one who's freaking out is cause she's probably the most, like, emotional one? Not cause shes a girl, I mean in the sense she knows exactly where to hit for it to hurt, she doesn't just belittle her victims, she hits where it's familiar. I feel like she's be the more... idk, analytical one here as a result. Bluudud's disconnected from being in his own world but he still acknowledges distress, and believe it or not but C00lkidd's surprisingly good at spotting stress and stuff- I hc 007n7 had a lot of debts to pay off from his hacking days and C00lkidd's shenanigans, so c00lkidd learned to pay attention to when 007n7 was having bad days and adjusted his play accordingly. Thing is c00lkidd just doesn't really understand how to deal with those things- 007n7 always tried to suck it up and avoid or belittle it entirely, and when he scared or hurt anyone else (pizza place incident) they never exactly explained it calmly, so c00lkidd never really learned how to deal with distress or fathom how its like for humans (being a demon he seems to have a superior physiology, in terms of brute strength at least), but he did learn how to be aware of it.completely forgor guest is canonically very silly im sorry guys
Chapter Text
Break time was a weird time. Elliot was going to go make some food, finding comfort in the mundane familiarity if nothing else, Noob wanted to follow to make sure he was okay (and maybe grab an alcoholic drink along the way), Shedletsky wanted to stuff his face, Noli was considering returning to the "main" room... and then from the TV room emerges 1x1x1x1, C00lkidd, Bluudud and 007n7 surrounding Pr3tyPriincess from every fucking side like a fucking mafia boss or some shit- comparison came from Chance btw.
They were covering her to save her fragile pride the humiliation of being seen in this state. She still had an extremely strong grip on 007n7 FYI, but they were trying to get her out of whatever state she was in. Tell me you don't know how a mental meltdown works without telling me ass writing istg. It's okay this is ao3 :broken_heart:. Anyway, Elliot and Noob's plans are dashed when the mafia ass group barges into the kitchen, and 1x1x1x1's eye suddenly shines a lot, lot brighter- a warning. He slams the door shut, and survivors can hear a sound that sounds vaguely like 1x1x1x1's blades getting shoved as a makeshift lock.
Yours truly appears kinda awkwardly cause mfs are supposed to be emotionally relaxing but someon's hoarding the kitchen. "...Elliot, go wash your face in the bathroom. I'll have another kitchen made... if I feel like it." This is a GROWING GIRL yknow, she cant be wasting her energy on a ptsd recovery group.
1x1x1x1 lets out that weird rattling (vsco girl trust) sound as he finishes "locking" the door, turning back to the demon children and their... father? father figure, maybe. Whatever the case, 007n7 seems to be acting as a guardian for now. Tch. Pr3typriincess has finally let go of 007n7 at least. She stands by the kitchen counter quietly, waiting for everyone to begin. 007n7 wants to wash the wound and cry, but what if that makes Pr3typriincess feel worse?
The embodiment of hatred feels like the only reliable adult as he drags 007n7 and cleans his hands with this "are you fucking serious" look. And yeah, 007n7 gets it... and feels like a horrible influence but whatever. C00lkidd leans against the counter, deciding to start it off, "So, we need water, right?" FYI C00lkidd's too hyperactive to leave people alone in the kitchen so he has vague knowledge on how to cook, but like he does NOT know how to do it, Bluudud is fucking hopeless, and Pr3typriincess has a fuck around and find out approach. </3
007n7 nods, forcing his voice out, steadier than what felt possible, as 1x1x1x1 cleaned his wounds. The same creature that had gutted and decapitated and poisoned him who knows how many time, "Yeah, uh... heat up some water."
Bluudud is suddenly struck by an abrupt enlightenment. If there's one thing miss pink glaze loves, it's insulting people and tea. So what if he fucked up tea so bad it snaps her out of it like whatever the playe- don't you fucking dare, they're survivors- survivors did with Elliot? And so, with the intentional stupidity of something I can't rlly remmeber rn (im sorry vro) he pulls out a cup, fills it with water, and puts it in the microwave.
...
007n7 looks like he's trying not to comment. "I don't think that's how it works..." C00lkidd sounds genuinely confused, and Pr3typriincess, still a bit distant, looks kinda offended, her eyebrows twitching and a little frown on her lips, (think of: |:[ ). "So what?" Bluudud rolls his eyes, "We just need hot water." 1x1x1x1 finally comments, "Enjoy that." he says it in this flat tone of defeat. Pr3typriincess quietly (FINALLY) looks around, before taking a kettle and showing it like it's a new invention.
Bluudud looks smug, and it gives 007n7 that feeling when ur kid or pet or whatevers learning something. proud dad core realizing his kid cares and stuff. He smiles a bit, turning on the stove and letting Pr3typriincess handle the kettle, a way of encouraging her to return to reality... he hopes, anyway. A pulsing from his broken hands reminds him of the stupidity his hesitance had brought. His kids are here, he seriously needs to stop making a fool of himself...
1x1x1x1 looks around for something to make the tea with. Tea bags, herbs, whatever's first really.
Elsewhere, Guest1337, being a solider, and Two Time, being trained to be more aware than his victims, both notice a weird stain on the ground- multipke actually. (At different times obvi.) Guest1337's gaze follows it, realizing it's headed to the kitchen. It's pinkish and red... what is that?
Two Time on the other hand immediately identifies the substance. He'd stabbed Pr3typriincess enough to know that's her blood, mixed in with red blood... Two Time can't be sure if it's C00lkidd's or 007n7's, since it's all mixed up and thus even the red parts are a bit neon. What in all that the Spawn has graced happened..?
DW guys Shedletsky got his chicken. Noob and Chance were getting kinda tipsy though, having decided to play a drinking and ice-breaker game. Taph is trying to practice talking with Dusekkar btw, it's as wholesome as it sounds :sob: ilysm taph.
Mafioso was gonna glare at Chance but bro got distracted by bunnies that mysteriously spawned </3 John Doe is standing in front of the kitchen door emotionlessly. He was going to cook but nevermind I guess, and he's too dead inside to do much of anything else. Noli is also looking at that door, half-tempted to "driving in my car" that motherfucker. Jason is throwing knives- practice makes perfect, even if he's not able to throw weapons because of it.
1x1x1x1, 007n7 and the demon children ended up making biscuits too. Ends up 1x1x1x1 is... good? at baking? 007n7 couldn't help much cause his hand fucking broke but he tried. Anyway they had a tea party before everyone returned to the reaction room- oh and 007n7's injury is gone? How convenient.
1x1x1x1 ends up finding 007n7 a little less pathetic, he supposes.
---
"AAAAALRIGHT! J'ai serieusement besoin the pratiquer mon francais... j'ai meme pas un clavier francais- ahem ahem, anyway so we're gonna continue..." everyone looks at me like i'm dumb cause shit;s obvious and like yeah but you dont say it bitch. "...just watch."
Oh and I'll be a little less insensitive maybe.
"Oh Garfield, we have a visitor!" It's someoe completing the new generators. Hard to see their arms to identify who it is though.
Shedletsky glances again at 007n7 like he's his hero. Never ever would he forget this man's noble contributions to getting rid of those old generators.
"Don't tell me it's Nermal..." the unidentified survivor JUST finishes up, finally.
Ok, Elliot's starting to get it. It's gonna be those fucking heart attack ass scenarios isn't it.
They turn around, revealing C00lkidd standing there in all his patient glory. "It's Nermal."
Aaaand there it is. Chance looks humiliated, "WHY do you do this, and now it's 1x1x1x1's turn to be incredulous, "This is a common occurence?"
"It's always either John Doe or Coolkidd," Shedletsky's giving them the stink eye, "Isn't John Doe the logical one here? What's with him wasting time to give me- ahem, us, a heart attack?!"
And you'd be right, but it had taken advantage of the hollowness in John Doe's mind left behind by the corruption to plant a viscious sadism, so. C00lkidd just does it for fun, and the silly grins in response. "It's funny."
Elliot's eye twitches. Fucking sadistic hellbeast.
[Tiktok by @z1nI7_]
The next video begins. It's not an exaggerated death, it's just... a murder. Another failure. For once, C00lkidd waits precisely for Guest1337's block time to run out. "You were strong, but not strong enough!" red claws grasped at the struggling solider's throat, a whimsical ease in the creature's movements. It smiles as the grown man struggled in its grip, and it becomes increasingly harder it acknowledge it as a person.
Chance was still a bit woozy, but even he pursed his lips, as if waiting for the other shoe to drop. The thing that brought them wasn't usually in the practice of showing off dead bo- oh-
Shedletsky in a chicken costume appears out of nowhere and gives C00lkidd a nasty slash just after he kills Guest1337, rendering him immobile. The demon's gaze follows Shedletsky, "You're no fun..."
007n7 feels ike his guts are weighed down by stones. Knowing the pain his kid is causing without even knowing. C00lkidd isn't smiling either.
The video cuts to...
Noob blinks blankly. What the fuck.
Shedletsky's dead body is sliding up a wall, moving at illogical speeds everywhere. No one really knows how this phenomenon happens, they kinda just... accepted it to be honest. "Well, well, well," C00lkidd began, looking at the camera and giving it an experimental slice. "look at what we have right here. If it isn't a KFC kangaro-"
"Remind me to shoot you hidden," that kid knows how to hold a grudge... imagine hating someone so much to defy physics bro wtf???
Why the FUCK is it ALWAYS C00lkidd defying gravity, Jason realizes.

hnmmpp I feel quite uninspired, what boring reactions. Maybe these are getting repetitive :[ ...ok i take it back my fucking mouse's port broke while i was writing this and i had to fix it by hand, tape, scissors I didn't even remember we had and the shrimp posture til 1 AM I think this is a sign to unleash the Noli edits cause istg ive been edging myself in favour of the others.
The following scene shows a strange new map with... is that purple water? Princess Two Time has their.... her??? their??? leg on a jukebox, a smile on their parted lips. "First time playing against Noli?" They seem confident, comfortable, and Chance is nearby, adding to the confident and prepared vibe. Many of the survivors glance to the actual Noli and Two Time. Two Time's smile grows a little more strained, as if their bullshit meter was up or something.
"New killer..." Shedletsky mused curiously, glancing over at Noli again. Seriously... what was it about this dude that was so familiar? That's a half-rotting corrupted CORPSE for fuck's sake. WHERE could he have seen that?!
...Say, didn't Darkheart mention something to patch backdoors before they died?..
Fuck.
Shedletsky wished he could remember what it was, how the conversation went. Did they say they'd show him later? Give a description? Anything?
...Wait, how'd he start thinking of that again? Can't even focus on his own thoughts right. Pathetic, useless.
1x1x1x1 feels his curiosity get replaced by a familiar malice upon Shedletsky's self-deprication.
Elliot seems a bit uneasy about this new dude. He's learned a lot about them, but what do they know about him? Nothing, because he's been stalking them like a weirdo this entire time. Tell me you were the quiet kid without telling me ahh killer.
Chance is the most vocal of everyone, his eyes narrowing as he looks over at Noli. "Right... 'cause we needed more trauma. From a rotting corpse, too."
True to Two Time's bullshit senses (BECAUSE THEY ARE AMAZING AND GOOD AND COOL AND GREAT AND EVERYTHING ELSE), the next scene shows Princess Two Time clutching some wounds. "I'M FUCKING TWEAKING, I'M FUCKING TWEAKING-" their body ragdolling all over the place in the dim lighting everyone had grown accustomed to.
Two Time never loses their composure. It's their most notable feature- the creepiest at that. To imply they were this desperate, internally screaming like that, implies one of two things. Either they're ridiculously good at hiding their feelings rather than genuinely insane, or this Noli guy... is the real deal.
Noob's trembling where they're seated, like, insanely so. They glance over at the disturbingly amused Noli, and in the process, catch sight of the purple killer glancing at 007n7. what..?
The kidds make no comment. Try not to show how uncomfortable they feel.
Dusekkar observes Two Time silently, considering the implications- indeed he's quite focused on those little clues about the fool. He finds this deluded worshipper-of-lies kind of pathetic, seeing just how far their reverence of the Spawn had taken them, to push aside their feelings so. He can't help but wonder why they're so good at it though... surely they hadn't gone in too deep into that cult's practices..?
Oh and YEAH daddy Guest1337's being logical and stuff, he's trying to look at what Noli's doing somehow to counter him. Whp's gonna tell bro it's too dark </3

Written on the screen is- "real footage of 007n7 going insane after the Noli update." For WHATEVER reason it's 1x1x1x1 doing the announcent??? "Those of you who eliminate yourselves-"
Elliot looks kinda incredulous at the sight. Fym 007n7 going insane? Like, he didn't go crazy already or something?? In what world do you have the BALLS to deal with that should've-been-aborted, born-from-satan's-whore child and NOT go crazy???
Noob tilts their head, realizing something after a prolongued moment of unease. Noli and 007n7 know each other... but it does not seem like they're friends.
"Wait so why's 007n7 with 1x1x1x1?" Shedletsky asks the actually good questions here. But Mafioso's been humbled ENOUGH so he decides to return the favour, "You are the last person with a right to ask that." Y'know. Cause there was a clip of Shedletsky fucking around with 1x1x1x1.
1x1x1x1 is looking at ts with a fatigue C00lkidd could only dream to cause. He called this dude "not very pathetic" ONCE, IN HIS HEAD, and he is suddenly his therapist. Ok.
007n7 appears on the screen with a wide smile and this frantic look in his eyes, which are wide btw. I think yall took the hint. "Yeah Mister Beast I'll eliminate myself!!!!"
"First Two Time, now 007n7..." Chance observes. Both outcasts, seemingly made insane by this new killer. Elliot spoke up again, "The two last people I'd expect this from..." if even they broke under the pressure... how would everyone else take it? The survivors all shift uncomfortably.
007n7 is seen in a straight jacket, red eyes and... spinning around while laughing like he just found a way into the girl's bathroom. He stops his laughter, suddenly screaming as a really cheap PNG of Noli approaches him.
Blink. Noob trembles, cutting out the whole personal theory thanks to Chance's observation. Two Time AND 007n7... just what was going on?! Would they be okay?! Would everyone else be okay?!

Now, my dumbass accidentally found an amazing video so I will be slapping it in here tee hee
Noli is seated on a couch like some sort of fucking business deal is going on. "My name is Noli and I'm sitting in a corner," he proceeds to very very poorly play the recorder.
"Pffft- Isn't that a meme?!" Bluudud calls out, grinning like he just found his soulmate. Maybe this Noli dude won't be so bad!
The survivors find it weird humanizing a killer that would traumatize them for... who knows how long. Chance seems pretty amused though, and Noob's confused all over again. Okay... so he's a guy that likes memes.
"Sitting in a corner, playing my recorder," insert bad recorder skills.
Guest1337 is going ALL OUT on this btw. Memes... memes... memes... "Memes are things that are spread around, right?" Shedletsky gives him this weird look. So he was trying to connect Noli's... definitely not combat clip to his combat. Wow. "Uh, just funny clips..." Guest1337 gives him a dry look, "I know that..." he watches memes with Daisy and stuff, argue w the wall.
"Was this an accident...?" Chance asks. "nah." "...So, his abilities are based off memes..?" "Hell no, think more... Idk, symbolically or some shit." Dusekkar tries to speak but bro is silenced for being too smart tee hee
"Then uh,,," Shedletsky is blessed by a stroke of rare genius, "something like 007n7 where he can multiply himself?" "...clooosee.. but more dramatic." I help helpfully.
"Isn't it like those memes and... well, antimemes from the SCP foundation? That mess with your brain?" Noob suggests hesitantly. Idk abt u but i feel like they'd know a lot abt stuff that was popular during the scp era.
Two Time speaks, "Upon me has been casted a relevation by the spawn. Propagating... In other words... inserting themselves where they are uninvited? And the common references to insanity that not even the Spawn could save myself or 007n7 from," Two Times finally speaks up, this weird sort of fanatic edge to their voice, as if refusing to believe such a thing is possible. It was the Spawn that has kept him sane since That Glorious Day, after all!
"Then it must be it! Inserting oneself into the mind! How utterly despicable!" as per usual babygirlbabyboybabythey Two Time who is so amazing and perfect and stuff got it right. HC that they do a lot of scriptues and clues and stuff from the cult. Two Time needs screen time and stuff so... poorly done puzzle to uncover
[Tiktok by @ozelblock]
Before discussions can continue, yours truly plays something.
Noob is in Pirate Bay on their way to a generator... with Noli straight up glued to their ass for some reason??? Guest666 wo- u get the point. I didnt need to finish that. Anyway so Noob peacefully does a generator while dying, much to the rooms confusion. There's some really calm music in the background, and on the screen; "Do you fucking mind pal im tryna do a generator" which brings the question, WHY is he british and did Noli fuck him up that bad?
"...So we become british and hallucinate," Shedletsky says it unironically, like it's genuinely a fate worse than death. 1x1x1x1's eye light shines brighter in focus. "Why is being british the focal point here?'
"L00k m4-m@n-n-, n0tt4 b3 m34n bU-But b3Tw3En b-b-b331n-ng br1t 4nd g01ng 1-1-1ns4N3, 1'm p1ck1ng 1ns4n1ty," Noli protested dead serious. But he's bugging a lot, is that his version of laughing mid-speech??? Bluudud's next cause apperantly bro was a streamer so, "Yeah duud, being British is NO joke."
1x1x1x1 hates all of you btw.
[Tiktok by @goofball263]
Two Time is lowkey SLAYING their pink drip in... again, a new fucking map- pause the clip rq "That's... a new map, correct?" Builderman mentions because of course little builder boy's gonna start asking. "Yeah yeah whatever, basically ruined buildings and poison and stuff, it's called the Tempest." I answered. Obviously. Dumbass. Anyway back onto the clip, so Two Time is EATING. THAT. SHIT. UP, the outfit the hair, the walk, the way they're doing the gens. Oh and there's pretty pink Dusekkar and like half the entire server here- there's Celeste just around the corner, and Guest1337.
It's hard to tell cause of the weird ass music but there must've been Noli's terror aura [hc it only manifests as music for some characters like Jason/Slasher cause scene and also Noob] because Two Time THREW themselves off that shit the MOMENT it was complete and turned around the corner... sure enough, purple corpse man was here.
Elliot's grabbing at his pants a bit tighter than before. He can't believe these people are taking this so... so calmly. Sure they're safe now, but they won't always be... maybe he should be more like them, relax while he still has a chance to. But he never did have a chance to, did he? Maybe a moment with his sister, a morning with some coffee, or when he was too young to work. But He never did stop running around, be it for pizza deliveries or killers...
Elliot turned to Guest1337, and it suddenly occurs to him just how stressed a solider must be from all of this. Elliot bit their tongue.
Two Time gets prepared for a backstab, locking into the exact position Noli would end up, to not waste their dagger.
Call them weird, but Two Time is unironically pretty impressive, doing the things they do with just a sacrificial dagger. Chance has to cast a glance their way, just to throw a "thanks man" sort of smile. Elliot lets out a sigh of relief. Too many people here, thankfully, Two Time's intervention would buy them time to flee and hopefully divert the killer's attention...
BUT Noli's a fucking DUMBASS who TRIPPED. Two Time had almost bolted, but then they had to do a double back and stare incredulously at Noli kissing the floor, half his body inside of it. He's still walking btw. The text on the screen reads; "inventing techs just to make sentinels look back atp..." oh and Taph is still peacefully setting up their tripwire in the corner FYI
Elliot looks like Sir Stick-Up-Assus Princely-Unamused BitchBFR the Fifth rn because fym all that calculating and the killer tripped.
"what" Two Time lowkey doesn't even know how to feel. Like congrats brosis you stunned the killer but like at what cost. "HDLP" Noli's the one asking for help like he's not the one killing them on repeat for the foreseeable future, and Taph's tripwire's probably extending to the next map (average Taph behavior TBH).
"Taph, why are you still working on your tripwire...?" Builderman sounds lowkey kinda disappointed, but then he notices a very good detail. "And why is it illuminated for Two Time?"
Elliot lowkey gets the princess treatment a lot so bro also notices a crucial detail, "They're faster with the tripwire, too..."
Taph's not saying it but those fanon wings lowkey materialized cause bro's suddenly on cloud 15. THEY GOT A BUFF! THEY FINALLY GOT A FUCKING BUFF! AND MOTHERFUCKERS CAN FINALLY SEE THE TRAPS TO, Y'KNOW, ACTUALLY USE THE FUCKING TRAPS. (this was my honest reaction btw, I ASCENDED and I'm making sure Taph is too.) There's this long moment where everyone just hears sniffles because NGL Taph lowkey gives chaos theatre kid vibes even if they're covered head to toe. Moment I laid my eyes on that description istg...
"Fi-fin'llY!!!" they try </3 "Finally indeed, the Spawn must have planted just a seedling of mercy within the foul beast's ashen heart," Two Time obviously glazes the Spawn but I lowkey forgive them. "This will be a most useful boon in disorienting the killers."
1x1x1x1 is genuinely about to throw a tantrum right now. Yeah yeah sure, the pieces of shit weren't OP enough, right? Now they have fucking coordination like it's not the ONE THING the killers can weaponize. FUCK.
"Absolute Cinema," C00lkidd sa- wait where'd he learn that? 007n7 has to glance between the killers in incredulity. Sounds like something Bluudud would say- ohh boy, Bluudud's pissed.... "Shut up, C00lkidd!" Pr3typriincess wasn't even wronged but she nods, "He's right."
"DON'T CLIP THIS, DON'T U DARE" the Noli is frothing at the mouth, and Two Time has settled with making fun of him, stabbing their sacrificial dagger on Noli's head and shit. "LOL, BRO TRIPPED" now the entire fucking server's kicking at poor lil Noli, who did, in fact, get clipped.
"That implies he has some self-awareness?" WHY the fuck is SHEDLETSKY dropping ts? Lowkey i feel like Shedletsky's the dumbest perosn but drops a banger once in a blue moon. Everyone's looking at him like they didn't need to know that. "Well... Noli's yet to become a killer at the time we're watching this... so we probably knew we were getting filmed at this time.",
Elliot is struck by an epiphany. So that's why these fucking dumbasses are so unserious... well... it's good to know these videos boost morale in the long run...?
Mafioso hums, a dark look over his face. At the rate things are going, it feels like Killers are being left at a disadvantage... that can't be all there is to it, surely. It'd be illogical, for a job to be fun, the targets need a chance in the first place, a chance to win, a chance to lose. So it needs to be balanced... but what else does the thing have in store?..
"NGL this Noli dude seems way chiller than..." Chance looks at the options. Like yeah Mafioso's fine when you're not on his hitlist, but between the embodiment of hatred, an insane murderer who barely speaks (and doesn't even do it right), satanic children and... whatever the fuck John Doe is, it feels like Noli has NO competition on the "chill killer" award. "Actually that's not much of a compliment."
Shedletsky wheezes like a dying chicken, which he probably fucking is. 1x1x1x1 and C00lkidd make sure of that. trust
[Tiktok by @cr3of]
"NOLI IS SCARY AS SH!T" it's Guest1337's POV- wait- "You censor "shit" in your head?" 1x1x1x1 looks at Guest1337 incredulously. 007n7 and Guest1337 look at him cause they're both dads, but like 007n7 is much more quiet abt it. "I have a kid, I can't exactly start cussing in front of her," Guest1337 explains. Bluudud perks up, "OH, yeah, adults do that. 007n7 too."
Noli deadass had to snap his neck to that. U can NOT b fr. 007n7? Not cursing? Kys vro that's not canon. BUT 007N7 SHRUGS IN THE WAY THATS LIKE "uh yeah but its whateves"??? WHAT???
Guest1337 is faced with Noli running FULL CHARGE AT HIM and immediately starts to book it, to jupe him and save his block. You can imagine his fucking surprise when Noli comes charging from half the fucking map and grabs him like he owes him his jugular or something. It can NOT be that personal.
"So... that's what Two Time had theorized..." Noob began slowly, brosis is beach-core again (but like completely cause they prob emptied their guts). "Didn't think it could..."
Guest1337 manages to right themselves up to keep running, but even the audio is chaotic and horrified. "GET HIM OFF, GET HIM OFF, GET HIM OFFFF"
That's... "THAT'S FUCKING INSANE," Chance exclaimed, "How the fuck are we supposed to counter that?!"
Mafioso hums, intrigued, a little less pissed, and also very pleased about seeing Chance get pissed, not to be confused with a piss kink please :sob:, "For every advantage survivors are granted, killers have to recieve one too. A game isn't fun if it's not balanced."
Jason nods, "Ki ki, ma." Awkward pause. Jason nudges C00lkidd, who happily translates, "He said "You'll manage!""
Elliot's eye twitched. Game... game... game... sick fuck.
Noob wants to crash out right now, "F-figure it out- while half-insane?!"
1x1x1x1 genuinely has to hold back the most insensitive, bitchass laugh he's ever held. Like lowkey doubling down in his seat to hide it. Cause every killer here is half-insane and they STILL managed to figure shit out, buttercup.
Jason's kinda just... confused. Like, he's not sure how to fathom this particular response exactly but a primal part of him feels that it's stupid. Yk? Like when u cant word it but man I know u lost aura from that.
[Tiktok by @nnaddoxx]
"I mean, he's kinda right tho, I can show u," I obviously have to chill them. And so, the TV werks before anyone can bitch to my face again.
""Noli's hitboxes are fine!" The hitboxes:" Noob is in a new outfit, it seems to be designed after a pride flag. Absolutely hilarious that the Spectre supports gay rights for some reason, idk js something about it :sob: "Aye, nice outfit," Chance does the thing where he jabs the chin at someone, like, a nod or something, idk. Handless salute type shit. Noob's still tweaking, but the reassurances, and the silly comment, is somewhat reassuring. "...Th-thanks." "Fix your hair," Pr3typriincess bursts into the convo princess style. Obviously.
Two Time froze. HC that they obsessively pray to the Spawn when spiraling cause it's "what kept them sane On That Day(tm)". SIKE im not a one trick pony, Two Time's relatively composed for now, but their eye's twitching like they abt to stab a bitch. Maybe.
"Is your baby crying? I'll make them stop!" Noob seems to have cornered themselves, but it's hard to tell because no one is familiar with the Tempest map yet. Noli prepares his equivelant of the Walkspeed Override, and as Elliot prepares himself for gore...
Noli literally shows eats sleeps and WAKES UP beside Noob AND STILL DOESN'T HIT THEM??? And why tf is Noob WALKING INTO IT , I'M NOT IGNORING THAT OP</3
...Wait what?
"Huh... guess we really will manage," Chance can't even sound smug, just... incredulous. Relieved too. Okay maybe a little smug. Fuck you Mafioso. "That's not what I meant and you know it." Mafioso isn't even the one who said it, he's just been ragebaited that hard.
The scene replays. "Go tO SlEep, gO To SLEep," like, an embarrassing number of times. Noli is rapidly losing aura rn.
"0k@y 1t'z funn1 4nd 411 bUt c4n y0U n0t-?"
"Murderers can't be choosers," it sounds like a joke but the way Elliot delivers it is PERSONAL. And yeah, it is, understandable. Noli looks at Elliot like he's just decided who the first person he'll kill will be.
[Tiktok by @certifiedlunchables_]
"What the fuck-" it's Builderman doing a generator in the C00l Carnival. Arguably, he's the best at those. At least was until everyone got the hang of them. Noob is probably the worst, their food makes their fingers slippery and their hands r probably shaky very often. ANYWAY why am i yapping so much recently-
THe focus is on the van where 5HE BEAUTIFUL PRETTY PINK AMAZING TWO TIME is doing a generator. Noli runs right past both, followed by... Elliot, for some reason, and noob for some reason (again), Guest1337 and Two Time, all ganging up on little ol Noli. The pretty pink Noli genuinely drops the gen to turn around and behold this Spawn-cursed tomfoolery, and Builderman ditches the generator to walk over and investigate the situation.
007n7's dead btw. Like, the only dead survivor.
Welp, Noli glanced at 007n7, an almost bitter satisfaction at the slightest little connection in the stupidest of things.
The scene replays
[im ngl i so wanna make c00lkidd recognize noli but alos i need moar lore abt coolkidd 007 and noli--]
"That happens," 1x1x1x1 says very, very drily. "One who can counter these vermins is John Doe." C00lkidd began but whispers it cause John Doe is scary, "Yeah, John Doe's REALLY strong, and since he makes stuff all confusing you can't go behind him without getting hurt." Noli couldn't care less but he nods anyway. That's 007n7's...
[Tiktok by @red_shenanigans]
SOMEONE THOUGHT THIS FIC WAS ON HIATUS BTW-- IM CRYING WAS I RLLY THAT SLOW... I SWEAR IT WAS JS A FEW TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES IM SO SORRY
gonna edge yall for the 007n7 and noli content a bit more sowwyyy not rllyyyy
