OR: In the universe where we got the RPG ISAT was the finale for, somebody gets their hands on our ISAT. Somehow.

So! Welcome, welcome. This is NOT what I was expecting to post as my first work, but... the brain worms... and plot bunnies...

Chapter 1: My Thoughts on the Siffrin Route (and a Mysterious File)

Chapter Text

So, hello.

I suppose I should start this with an introduction- I am not the most vocal person here, after all. My sister- u/EleventhHour, and yes, she is the EleventhHour from the OneShot Incident- though, is, and she brought my attention to u/OutOfTheLoop's post.

You should look at that first, this will make no sense if you haven't. And I mean it.

So, being someone who enjoys Changing Times in a Frozen Land, I decided to go and get Siffrin for myself following this guide. Also read that before this, please!

Here's my thoughts on the matter- this whole situation is incredibly new, and I feel the need to document my findings.

Siffrin is a very fun character, honestly! He's a little weird- especially with the forgetting-what-he-was-talking-about thing, but it's fun to see all of the different dialogues he has for things! And I shall never forget the Super Potion. You tried, Sif! You tried!

Dormont/House section played out as normal for their route: They run off, we find Loop, and go find them with Loop’s help (via the secret Fourth Craft Sign: hand phone!).

Only difference was at the end- Siffrin said his wish was to see Bonnie reunite with their sister, while the guide I was following said his wish was to wear clothes Isabeau made??

Current theory’s that it has something to do with the relationship levels pre-Sadness Incident. I wonder if there’s also a wish for Odile and Mirabelle, in that case?

Anyways, the time loop plot’s really weird but it also kinda makes sense?? Like, that it’s that sudden. Isabeau doesn’t get to remember the other loops, why should you get to see them?

But if we did, that would... also be a really interesting and kinda depressing thing. Like, you can go, you can explore the House, but all you can do is watch as Siffrin slowly loses it...

 

Am I okay, mentally??

As well, I really liked some of the Loop dialogues you could get in some of the rooms if you call them! For instance, there’s a pretty silly moment-of-levity one where they mention that they originally told Siffrin that they should use the Royal We to refer to them, Isabeau wonders why they didn’t go through with it, only to use those pronouns and realize how confusing it was.

The messed-up House was also interesting to explore, albeit slightly frustrating.

I wonder how Siffrin got through the doors? All the keys were back where they usually are...

Anyways, I was looking through the files to see if I could find anything on Siffrin, and I found this really weird file??

[IMAGE NOT FOUND. Alt text=A screenshot of my Changing Times folder. A mysterious file called 'isat.exe' is in it.]

I’m going to try and open it.

Actually, just got an idea as I am typing this: I'm going to share the file with you guys. That way if I get a virus, I don't go down alone- and if it isn't, I have help figuring out what the crab is going on.

Here's the file.

Let's go... should I call this the ISAT (whatever it stands for) Secret Squad?

Yeah! Let's go, ISAT Secret Squad!
