===> Watch Arti go on the stretcher and be taken away
You do just that as you sit beside Aaron.
"I'm willing to bet exhaustion and lack of nutrition. But to be honest that's more a Life thing."
===> Observe Aaron
You take in his somewhat broken appearence. He's not as you remember him- not angry and talking in garbled tongues.
"Seems we've both been through nine levels of hell, the furthest ring, and back."

===> Sigh
You let out a sigh.
"Kind of.... I shed that name after the fiasco.... Then again the last time I saw you- you had gone Grimdark and were very angry."
===> Reintroduce yourself
You might as well.
"I am Forsaken. A shell of a girl once called Elizabeth Snider. And I've been through a few dozen hells."
You offered the simple as sweet version of an introduction to your fellow Dersite.

==>  ..................... ==> .............................. ==> ....................................... ==> (Finally, Aaron takes Beth's hand.) "Um.... LIKEWISE-?"==> Take in 'Forsaken' It's not like you have much other choice. She was literally RIGHT THERE. So much of her resembled his old friend, the red clothes from her god-tier pajamas... OR... WHATEVER WAS LEFT OF THE OLD ONES... Her skin was pale, her eyes looked distant, not exactly all there. A number of cuts and the ghost of some bruises. He could tell a number of them weren't gained from her earlier entrance; God-Tiers were made of FAR STERNER stuffs then that after all. His memories traveled back to the last time he had seen Beth. ==> (THAT SCREECHING FACE. PUNCHING BETH HARD ENOUGH TO CAUSE HER TO CRASH INTO A MOUNTAIN. THE MOUNTAIN ITSELF THEN COLLAPSED ON HER.) ==> (Aaron SHUDDERS and has to take a moment to calm his breathing. Like Lizzie showed him.) ==> So... What was this? Another version of Beth? Another Ghost? ... Nah she still had her eyes, vacant though they were... Wait did she mention something about Grim-dark-? About YOU going Grim-Dark-? You can't help but remember the time you yourself went Grim-Dark, you were a horrible mess at the time, laughing, fighting, strangling, near killings..... ==> ..... "You know something. I don't even wanna KNOW. I've been through ENOUGH Dream Bubbles to learn that I shouldn't ask questions that I DON'T wanna know the answer to."==> Get more comfy Well at least you were steadily moving past how nightmarishly gaunt 'Forsaken' was... "No matter the form though, it's always great to see you Beth." You note her about to correct you. "Now now don't you correct me. You can call yourself 'Broody pants' for all I care. You'll always be Beth to me. To Lizzie too."==> ....... OH JEEZE LIZZIE!! "OH CRAP I NEARLY FORGOT!" He looks out to sea and see's the island he had left Lizzie on earlier. "Phew it's still there. You note Beth's look. "I told Lizzie to stay put on that island over there... Would you like to go see her?" |

"I can assure you I am not a ghost. Just a shell of a girl I used to know."
===> Taken aback a second.
"Lizzie is still with you? Of fricking course I want to see her!"

==> Aaron; Laugh at Beth.
You do so. Heartily.
(Aaron takes off, with Beth close behind him.)
==> A little later
....................
==>
Seagulls are chattering away on a nearby palmtree as you take in the reunited twosome. Lizzie is hugging the fire out of Beth, and to be honest, you can understand. This had to have been the first 'LIVING' Friend you'd come across in a long while... Still, just watching them is so cute...
==> Alex's mind is wandering, switch to Lizzie
"BETH~!!! Oh my god it really is you~!!!" You hold onto your old SBURB chum and you don't let go, using both your arms and your wisp to wrap around tightly. Sure Alex was a great older brother, probably one of the best you could ever ask for, but Beth was the friend you always wanted. Girly, interested in gossip, all the good things! "You wouldn't BELIEVE the kind of stuff we've had to GO THROUGH since we've last seen you..."
Still you at least notice her raggedy appearance.
"Whoa... Hey are you okay?"

Forsaken hugged back. "Good to see you too, Lizzie. And I've been worse," she replied. It was nice to hear Lizzie say her name again. "And I bet I can. Paradox space hates me is the simple way to put it."
Delta hovered behind Forsaken as the crystal armor on her arms seemed to retract into a pouch on her back.

"Well that just won't do at all!" The ghostly sprite smiled as she takes Beth's hand. "Now that you're here, now that you're ALIVE, we can have ourselves a party! Hey! Aar! Can you magic up some food?" ............. She takes notice of the lack of response as Aaron looked out to the horizon distantly... ".... Aaron-? Are you okay-?" Aaron turned to look at the two girls, the sprite hovering up to look the man over... His eyes looked distant and worried... She could tell pretty quick that something happened. "Did something happen at the beach-?"
.... "... Yeah... Along with Beth, I ran into Arti... He was in pretty bad shape..." The young man leaned back in his seat, the sun getting in his eyes... Taking a moment, Aaron pulled out a pair of Sunglasses from his Void Modus and put them on, both for lack of lighting and to hide his expression. "We managed to get him on an ambulance and heading towards a hospital... But there wasn't much else we could do... He was practically half-dead." He liked to think Lizzie couldn't see the difficult tears. "It was the one from our continuity, the one that got choked out by that... monster..."
Apparently Lizzie was very much in the know, she shivered fearfully.
"Will... He be okay?"
"Well.... I made sure that the doctors held onto his I-glasses. So I at least know how to track him if the need comes to it. If nothing else it'll allow me to find the hospital he was taken to again..." ....... After a moment, he clears his throat and pulls out the void pocket again. "But anyway, you said you wanted some food lil' sis? Here, let's see what we got..."
At the very least, he had a lot of food that had been given to him by his mother, cakes, cupcakes, cookies, some chicken and others. Those things had always come in handy in difficult situations.
Using his powers, he provides a number of food items and a plastic table to put it all on. It was everything they had stored away, but given their guest, splurging seemed like a must. "Here you go girls. Help yourselves. The last bit from my mom's snack cache."

"Thank you, little bro," Forsaken teased as she took a cupcake. "Monster?" she asked as she unwrapped the cupcake and showed a hint of confusion in her voice.

Oh.... Right... She wasn't from their session. Thereby she wasn't there when the incident occured... Heck the more Aaron thought back to it, the more the memory made him shudder and his breathing become ragged... Hoping for comfort he reached over and took a few cookies from the table. The scent reminded him so much of his mother... It wasn't the same as having her around, but it would have to do since that wonderful woman was now gone... The universe was worse off without her.... He took a bite, the sweet taste comforting him, slowing his breathing... He looked up to 'Forsaken' who appeared somewhat confused. Perhaps even more so then ever before. Lizzie at least looked understanding... With a sigh, Aaron put the cookies up a moment, holding them in a bubble of void. "Beth... Tell me something. In your game, was their a troll by the name of Orcana?"As he asked this, he pulled out his HOVERING HOLOGRAPHIC KEYBOARD, which produced a holo-screen. Aaron was quick to open up Pesterchum and look through his list of contacts... A moment later a familiar name showed up... delphinicDropper..."And do you remember me and Arti bragging about this?" He clicked the name and opened up the chat history. The window bore the following conversation. --------------------------------
GG: In fact, to show you our gratitude, we thought we'd make a little something for you.
DD: whale whale whale
DD: i guess you aint useless after all sucka
GG: Granted we don't really know what appeals to trolls given you guys tell us so little. However, we were able to compile a small list of things you guys like and make it into something. Hopefully you like it.
DD: so ya mean it all pics o me being awesome n ship
DD: oh and lowbloods in they proper place and i guess that aquila guy p coo so he can rule wit us
DD: i guess you aint reely a buncha nerds
DD: dare i say it but i was WRONG 'boat yall
GG: Heh, thanks for the compliment. Anyway, go ahead and take a look. Let me know what you think. I haven't really drawn a lot in a while, so I had to practice up while making this. Hopefully, it's halfway decent.---- delphinicDropper's [DD's) computer exploded. GG: ..... Oh and by the way, the next time you're on?
GG: VIVA LA REVOLUTION BITCH. >XD[/a] ------------------------------------ He pulled down the window to let Beth absorb this. This wasn't everything, not yet. He'd approach this matter slowly. If not for the sake of his own health. |

He had kinda hoped that that would be enough to sate Beth's curiosity, that that would be enough to explain what needed to be explained... Still he supposed he should have remembered. She was innocent of everything that had occured. She had no idea of knowing what had happened to them, what happened to everyone in their session. She had no way of knowing what happened next... So he had to be the one to tell her. The prospect seemed to scare Lizzie but she hid behind Beth to find comfort. Wordlessly, he pulled up another window, this time one for a group chat between himself and Arti. ----------------------- WR: i cant believe she was actually dumb enough to fall for that!!!!!!
WR: i mean really does ANYONE fall for those anymore?!
WR: like rickrolling is a thing and
WR: AHAHAAHAHAHAGG: HAHAHAHAHAHA~ THAT WAS AMAZING~!WR: hell fucking yes it was!!  GG: LIKE, I WISH WE COULD'VE INSTALLED A CAMERA JUST SO WE COULD'VE CAUGHT THE LOOK ON HER BIG DUMB FACE~~~~!WR: assuming she still has a face~GG: ... Kinda gross, but yeah. XD--delphnicDropper [DD] began trolling gantzGun [GG] and wolfenRegent [WR] -- DD: YOU
DD: IMMA GONNA FIND YOUWR: ey its no face chase hahahaGG: Oh hey it's bitchy witchy~! Whas' up?DD: AND IM
DD: GONNA MUTHA
DD: FUCKIN
DD: KRILL YOU ALLWR: so youre gonna hit us with tiny crustaceans
WR: k fine with meGG: .... Yeah, that's nice. What are you gonna do? Throw what's left of your eyes at us~?DD: YOU CROSSED ORCANA VANISA FOR THE FIRST AND ONLY TIME
DD: CALL ME RENDFACE
DD: ITLL BE THE LAST NAME YOU MOTHERFUCKERS /EVER/ KNOWGG: I think I'll call you Dory instead.WR: just keep swimmin just keep swimmin~DD: ENJOY YOUR LIVES WHILE YOU CAN
DD: ILL GETCHU MA PRETTY
DD: AND YER LITTLE FRIENDS TOO--delphnicDropper [DD] has disconnected-- WR: heheGG: Yeah yeah yeah, whatever... 5 bucks says she never makes it out the front door.WR: 10 that she cant even moveGG: Haaaah~. .... You know this was actually pretty fun. Maybe we should do this more often eh Sunburn?WR: ahaha you name it worst thief and im in brah~
WR: but later ive gotta get to draining this excess water out--wolfenRegent [WR] has disconnected-- --------------------------------------------- He closed out of the window once Beth read through it. "Me and Arti had a real good laugh about the misfortune we placed on Orcana... It was the least of what she deserved after all of the misfortune she tricked us into going through... At the time, the whole thing just sounded like empty threats. We didn't actually think she could do anything to follow through on her word..." He sighs... "Then the monster arrived."He still remembered it. It was humanoid with horns and gills, it's face mostly blasted off... Rendface would then SCREECH IN FURY at her victims before viciously killing them. "Somehow, Orcana found her way into the session... Or at least an adult version of herself did. Her Rage powers were... UNREAL. She decimated basically everything, killing all of the players one-by-one... Me and Arti decided the only way we could stop this madness was to invoke a Scratch... We succeeded. We restarted everything and Orcana was caught in the light... I can only assume she was phased out of existence... As for me and Arti... Well, apparently we eventually found our way here..."Lizzie shivered violently. "It... It was awful... She killed everyone... Kisa, Pieter, Evan... Even Aaron's mom, sister and the other bystanders too.... I'm only here because Aaron saved me just before that monster could kill me..." |

"You poked the bear and it attacked. Alternians never give dry threats. I learned that in the bubbles. Spent what they called a perigree with them," Forsaken answered to the pair. "Rage players make the matter worse. My counterpart to your session was probably killed as well since Lizzie did just say everyone. But that is the past. Right now we have an ecto-biological sibling in a hospital bed, Skaia knows where, because you and him had to provoke a violet blooded Rage player. In what bloody way did that make sense?"
Yes, for once Forsaken was playing the older sibling card. Most of this pent up rage was coming from her own screw ups.

For a brief moment, defensive feelings were affronted by Beth's questioning; and really few could blame him on that front. "Well, you remember how Orcana was. She needed a deflated ego... And even more then that, we had no way of knowing she could, in any way, access our game." Beth's expression hardened, and the defensive feelings lessened. Lessened but not vanished "I know... I shouldn't speak like that after what it resulted in... But... She tricked me into going Grimdark. And that incident made me go completely insane and kill another one of those ectobiological siblings... Thank god I snapped out of it and found that Quest Bed on time..." Not that it mattered in the end...
............... Aaron lowered his head at the continued looks.
Lizzie meanwhile looked a bit torn about what she could believe.
Revenge... A horrible concept. In the end, 'an eye for an eye' blinded and destroyed their session.

"You know it's always the ones that show boat or the ones that usually stay quiet you should watch out form, but that always confused me when it came to you, Aaron. You are the only Dersite I know that went Grimdark, but you're mild mannered and don't fall into either of the earlier categories," Forsaken noted. "But that is the past. We are to learn from it and let it help form our decisions. That's all I have to lecture you about."
Forsaken took a breath. "Sorry for the flip out," she offered to the pair.
