"I see... then yes. We're from different timelines. ...I and my friends won our game. We made a new world."
What could that mean, though? Were they from... from a non-Alpha timeline? Or were he and his friends from the non-Alpha? ...Paradox Space was so confusing, even to him...

..... The words came from the man's mouth but Aaron's ears refused to believe it. When Orcana came... Yeah, sure, that was his and Arti's fault, no-one to blame but themselves on that front. No way of knowing she could keep her threats or not didn't matter, they brought that upon themselves... But even before that, he had definitely been wrestling with whether or not the game actually WAS winnable. It just seemed like such an impossibility, what with all of the odd rules, the game breaking bugs that seemed to be abounding... Not to mention all of the pre-set rules the game had, such as dying at least once to god-tier, traveling through time to prevent bad-endings...
There had been too much going on at once and he had almost been under the impression that winning the game had been completely impossible.
"................. You guys... Won-?" So of course, this revelation came as a complete shock to him. "B-but how? I don't... Understand... How did you guys-"
"Wow... So we DID actually make it at least once... Amazing~!" Rather then puzzling over the what-ifs, Lizzie seemed really happy to hear this news.

Forsaken coughed. "You won? How?" she choked out in surprise as she stood up. "Not one session I've seen has ever won their game."

Pieter rubbed the back of his head. "...Got lucky, I guess. After an incident involving one of the trolls, the troll who was constantly messaging me said that he'd try to calm her down... got a message a while back that he succeeded. After that, we built up our houses, got all the grist going, and took on the Black King. We won... and we made a new world."

A troll needing to be calmed down...
..............
ORCANA....
And judging by the sounds of things this friend of Pieter's on the troll's side managed to succeed with his task... But... How come he hadn't done the same on their end? What could have happened?
..... ".... I guess we know what happened to our timeline..." Alex had reached the answer, but Lizzie spoke first. "That troll friend of yours didn't succeed in calming this friend of his down... In fact, that friend went berserk and killed everything that got in her way..."

Forsaken shuddered. "Well..... Where exactly is here?" she asked trying to get the picture of a failed attempt of quelling a rage player's anger out of her mind.

Pieter exhaled softly, folding his arms. "Well, this might sound strange, but... it's a place pretty familiar to us. ...Welcome to Dimensional Island. Believe me, I was rather surprised, too.
That was a bit of an understatement, really; he'd damn near passed out in a mixture of excitement and perplexion when he realized it.

....................
..........................................
Suddenly... Oh so suddenly, the mainland beyond this simple little island looked that much more mysterious, that much more vibrant and alive. For just a brief moment, the Thief of Void found himself filled with awe and wonder again. Seeing a world he had put so much effort into creating again, seeing it REAL AND FULLY REALIZED. It was an amazing sight, as if he and his friends had won the game already and this was the result. It was a crapsack world in many respect... But in just as many respects, it had it's happier sides, it had it's happier stories, it's happier characters. He remembered so many characters calling this island home...
Briefly... He wondered if any of them were here. If they were still here. If they were here YET.
".... Dimensional Clash?" The sprite mimicked, unsure of what to make of Pieter's name. "What kind of name is that? What kind of world IS this? Is it another dream bubble?" Her curiosity was probably founded. Dimensional Clash had been well before Lizzie's time, well before the time of the game as well. And what few times the gamers accessed the site afterwards was ignored by the sprites. After all, the players needed their brief moments of asylum. The site allowed them what little escape they could get from the madness around them.
Alex's eyes were wide as he answered, "It was that RP Forum me and the others frequented both before and during the game. In it we would roleplay as various characters from our favorite shows and games. All of them showing up at a place called Dimensional Island where they could all frolic in the same given space..." The very idea of being here was... Unreal... "But... How is it HERE? How is it REAL??"

Forsaken blinked at the answer. She couldn't fathom what she was told.
"Or originals... I was guilty of plugging my own story characters into the site...." Forsaken offered as she looked around.

Pieter nodded. "You weren't the only one who did that, heh. I'm guilty of it as well. But yeah, this is the place, very much real. I don't know how it became a thing that exists but it does. I've been kinda looking into it but more just trying to get situated here. I made a home of my own kind of on the outskirts of the Island, away from where most folks could get to it..."
He wasn't going to say that he and the other victors had had a celebration there. That would just break these twos' hearts, he felt. Pieter exhaled slightly. "Well... would you like to see more of this place?"

Pieter barely needed to ask. Already, Aaron's mind was filled with the possibilities of exploring this landscape, taking it all in. Maybe even see if some of his own ideas remained on this island or not. He already knew where to start looking for many of them. Still, best to remain in the here and now. He needed to get all of the details sorted away with his new friends. Exchange contact information, perhaps even make a partnership prominent-
BEEEP BEEEP!
-?
Aaron turned to his Holo-Keyboard as pesterchum continued letting out prompts, letting him know that someone had tried to contact him. "Oh! Hold on Pieter." He rushed up to the keyboard and summoned up a holo-screen showing a Pesterchum window. "Hmmm It's... Arti..." Wait....
--------------------------
--wolfenRegent [WR] began pestering gantzGun [GG] at ??:??--
WR: hey gantz it's me
WR: im alive and moving again
WR: jordan's here hes alive too
WR: in fact he saved me
WR: but answer this for me
WR: where are you and beth
WR: and one more thing
WR: i failed as dante m arti
WR: so just call me m now
--------------------------
..... Well... This was somewhat worrying....
... But...
"J-JORDAN-?!?!" JORDAN WAS HERE TOO. JORDAN WAS HERE TOO!
"So... Jordan survived too-?... Or is this another alternate timeline?" At this point, Aaron didn't care. Jordan was here on this island. He always had good times with him. He'd have to try and contact him sometime......
In fact... Aaron started typing.
--------------------------
GG: Whatever Sunburn.
GG: Me and Beth met up with Pieter and we're going to check out this strange world. Apparently we've somehow arrived on Dimensional Island. Strange, huh?
GG: When we reach a rest area, I'll contact you with the location.
GG: Hey! Tell Jordan to keep his pesterchum on. I might try to contact him later. Please and thank you.

Forsaken sighed. "Figures that Life would thrive somewhere in PAradox Space," she offered before putting her jacket back on. "And yes, Pieter. I would love to see more of the Island."

The blond nodded again. "Of course. I'll be happy to show you around. Honestly, it's quite amazing to see in person.
He gestured to Aaron. "You comin' or you gonna meet up with the others first?

WR: it's M, dummy, M!
WR: hang on.
WR: did you say "dimensional island"?
WR: as in the setting of dimensional clash?
WR: that can't be right aaron...
WR: that's all fiction.
WR: it can't be right...
--wolfenRegent [WR] has disconnected--
Welp.... It looked like convincing Arti of this was going to be pretty difficult. But hey! Jordan was with him and now at the very least; he could take comfort in that. Still, he'd have to contact them later....
==> Go with the Rouge and the Mage
STILL IN THE MEANTIME.
"Sorry about the wait." Aaron said, getting up and storing away his computer. Then he took a moment to store away all of the sweets he had taken out for Lizzie and Beth. "Had to check in with Arti. It turns out he's out of the hospital. Jordan reappeared and healed him up."
Lizzie looked really excited about this. "Yes! Our family here just keeps on getting bigger and bigger looks like!"

Forsaken smiled before climbing back onto her cube. She patted Delta and the said cube started floating. "I'm a bit accident prone so I fly on Delta," she offered to the odd looks she was receiving. "That's good to hear. Hope Jordan isn't going to be too shook up..." She had a few lingering memories of herself hitting on her life wielding ecto-brother.
