Work Text:
It was a most casual day in Garden View. As casual as it gets when there's wretched, mindless versions of your friends hunting you down. Glisten, charming and awesome and boasting as he is, strides down the stage of Vee's room. Having complete a machine, he was pretty much ready to get the fuck out.
Much to his dismay, the evil Finn the Fishbowl appeared out of the shadows and tickled Glisten to the death. Instead of waking up back in Garden View's lobby, his toon ass was in a wooden cabin with some r6 blocky ass mfs. “Now who is you??„ he asks, raising an eyebrow. Just before my glorious, splendid, delicious, handsome, poetic, charming, beautiful, funny, astonishing, cute, lovely, perfect, quirky, wonderful, kind, sweet, mysterious, zesty, pulchritude, jaw-dropping, king Taph could answer, the end-round cutscene shows with three survivors; Shedletsky, 007n7, and... Gregor Limbus Company Samsa?!
Gregor wasn't forsaken'd, he just came here for vacation.
Glisten's attention snaps back to the hooded man who was very understandably attractive despite not having any physical features showing. “🏚️👻🚪🔒😱👥💀 (This is Forsaken. Welcome, you're trapped with us.)„ And Glisten just stands there, wondering how the FUCK someone speaks with emojis. At least Flutter used sounds and it showed up as punctuation. Taph is not THOSE gacha stories where they only speak in emojis (i'm allowed to bully myself) and we, the viewer, are expected to decipher that shit.
Gregor stretches, roach arm hair's bristling from the tension, but in a positive way... yk? This stupid bugman (i'm still allowed to bully myself) caught Glisten's attention and he screeched, not expecting such... an abomination?! “OH MY GOD YOUR ARM IS SO GROSS!„ he squealed without thinking, quickly covering his mouth and apologising. Gregor shrugged, being rather used to this reaction from others. “Eh, it's nothing new. Don't worry 'bout it, mirror guy.„ Mirror guy? Glisten isn't used to being referred to like that—OH WAITTT he hasn't even given his name yet.
“Heh...„ Glisten stands tall, flaunting his pretty pink bow that ate and left no crumbs, not even a sign of a PLATE. “My name is Glisten! I know, it's awesome. Just like my presentation!„ He stresses, not knowing if he was coming off as cocky or egotistical. Glisten cracks an eye open and relaxes, barely, before asking for the roach guys name. “Gregor.„
“Gregor Samsa.„
“...„ The toon blinks, looking side to side before staring with partial disbelief. “The guy from Franz Kafka's book...??„ He questions, skepticism obvious in his voice. Gregor Limbus Company Samsa simply nods as a response, following with a shrug and a newly lit cigarette. “It's complicated.„
“Alright slimes, shut your mouths. A new match is about to start.„ Says idfk who would canonically talk like this in Foreskin, so Shadow the Hedgehog does! And that tiny ass bitch is right because the match starts immediately after he says this.
hi im a line break
Glisten spawns into Brandonworks, confused as to what the fuck he's supposed to do. Since the killer is a new player Jason, they should be fine. Or maybe they'll get their asses kicked, you can never tell with new players. With a few steps, Glisten immediately ran into Dusekkar, who shielded him for money. “What the freak.„ The mirror said, shaking his head and walking off towards increasingly loud voices. Because I'm too lazy to describe them, when Glisten gets on-top of the castle everyone likes for some reason, he sees Chance and Noob howling like some mf hyenas or smth because Noob lowkey looks like iTrapped if he didn't have a crown or a blocked out face. why did they even block iTrapped's face im so genuinely confused about that.
“I mean, you look JUST like him! Same hair length, same skin, same clothing colours. It hurts, just a bit. I took my chances with someone I trusted, and Lady Luck decided it was time I lost.„ They give a solemn (LAMENT?!) smile to Noob, then quick beam at them as he flips his coin. Three times in a row he got charges. One more and he's still weakness free! “Seems like your luck is better this match.„ Noob pointed out, smiling at Chance. “That it is!! Nice observation, little guy.„
Glisten clears his throat, earning their attention and the negative coin flip sound idk what it is. “Excuse me, but what am I meant to do? I haven't seen a machine or any twisteds so far.„ Chance stares dumbfounded at the toon, having no clue what he was yapping about. Noob, however, bursts into explanation because Noob was like the original characters that you started with in Forsaken until they made Elliot and Shedletsky free which is really stupid make them cost money again PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU. So anyways.
Noob, being the awesome person they are, bursts into explanation. “So basically like Forsaken operates different to Dandy's World and we only have a single "twisted", but they're controlled by someone external and certain survivors, which would be toons in your world, have an ability similar to Blot where they can temporarily stun the killer, only they have to land a hit instead of just placing something down. 007n7 works similarly to Connie, only he sends out a fake of himself that runs around dependant on the injection he put in. Elliot works like Sprout, Cosmo, or Ginger in where he can heal other survivors, just without taking any damage. Dusekkar kinda works like Tisha, only he can slow down the killer and speed up survivors, as well as shielding them which I saw you've already had happen to you. Taph can throw bombs which can stop the killer from using their abilities, as well as placing down tripwires around the map that progressively fade and become more difficult to see. When the killer runs through they, they're highlighted for a couple of seconds to every survivor, as well as slowing them down for, I believe, three seconds. Builderman is a support, and he places down sentries which shoot the killer when they're close enough, causing slowness and dealing a chip of damage, as well as a dispenser which can heal survivors over time when they stand close enough. I think that's like everyone so awesome. Minus myself, but I'm a survivor so I don't do shit to help unless I body block or do generators.„
“Holy yap sesh but thanks Noob.„ The yellow-blue-green robloxian flashes a proud smile at Glisten before they run off for fun idfk why people do that. It then dawns on Glisten... “They didn't explain what Gregor does.„ Chance shrugs and runs off with Noob. “Wtf twin 🥀🥀 OH GOD HOW DO I SPEAK EMOJIS?? WHAT EVEN IS THIS WORLD ABOUT.„
now over to Gregor
My absolute kin Gregor Limbus Company Samsa raises his arm and hits the Jason with a quick one-two coin flip, (Chop-Up from his base ID), and Glisten sees this. 'Oh shii he lowkey kinda fine when he fights...' The killer is stunned i'm too fucking tired to keep writing
jk jk
The round ends because the killer is new and sucks but this is a fictional world so everyone is nice to them and isn't toxic ❤️
“Hey there. Gregor Samsa, was it?„ Glisten asks, pulling him over to the book shelves where that fuckass talking cat is. The ex-military man nods. Oh shit there's two of them, i gotta specify. The ex-military man with a bugs arm nods. “You're kinda fine when you fight like that.„ the mirror says, giving Gregor a little pink bow like his own, only fit to be worn in his hair. “I'd like to gift this to you!„ He smiles, and Gregor smiles back. “I'll cherish it. Thank you, Glisten.„
in case you were wondering. yes, i'm still a line break potato
A few rounds pass and everyone gets along. Except for 007n7 and Elliot i love their beef it's so funny to me. Also Chance and Shadow the Hedgehog have itsy bitsy quarrels, but they get along better now trust. Shadow the Hedgehog started paying child support again like a king. unlike tara neighbors it's been 14 years and i don't think she's paid child support for my parents once. don't be like tara, guys.
“Welp,„ Gregor stretches, yawning during intermission as he smiles tired at the rest of the cast. “I've best to get going back to my co-workers. I doubt they've noticed I've gone missing, but maybe it was a nice break for them.„ Gregor, being nonchalant and inconspicuous as always, magically opens a door that wasn't there before and steps inside. Glisten, not wanting to lose him so quick, rushes behind him. Gregor and Glisten both disappeared, sent back to their original games. And Gregor still has that bow in his hair... not forgetting what had happened.
oh yeah nobody noticed he was gone except for Dante because they have to manage the fucking sinners and DO THEIR DAILIES MANAGER DANTE DO THEM.
