Hey guys, it's been a while lol

I'm terribly sorry for leaving you guys hanging for, uh, nearly a year now??? I got really bad burnout and just couldn't do Tumblr anymore so I quit

I still love Inscryption so if y'all wanna talk about it my main is @h4zardousch3micals but as an apology for leaving you without the end I'll just tell you how this blog was supposed to go

So after M and P03 finally get over their trust issues M reveals that their name is actually Mason. Then, there's a knock at the door, Mason goes to answer it but P03 - remembering what happened to Luke - freaks out and demands that they check who it is first. Lo and behold, it's Amanda - Mason's sister.

Mason and P03 argue about what to do and it looks like Mason is trusting Amanda more when they suddenly get shot at. It misses, luckily, so in a panic they grab their computer and Biscuits (the cat) and run out the back. Terrified and unsure of what to do Mason drives to a hotel at which point they finally have somewhere to set their computer up again and P03 is relived to know that they're still alive (though they still hide it under an attitude)

Knowing that Amanda could be right behind them and the police won't believe them if they say "a sentient robot living inside my computer told me my sister is possessed by a demon", Mason travels all the way across the country to meet their friends Gigi, Leo and Penny (remember Indigodessy from discord? That's Penny) who agreed to let them move in. Gigi is absolutely fascinated by P03 and curious to learn more accidentally discovers Inscryption on steam. (Also there was supposed to be some scene where the human squad remind P03 of the Scrybes and it gets sad because I love torturing this robot wow)

They discover that every time one of them gets Inscryption and loads it up on their computer, something is wrong that makes it different from the original (ranging from little things like personality swaps to huge things like it now being a shooter game instead of a card game) and the end goal ends up being finding a version that's similar enough to the original that P03 could live in it, all while trying to avoid Amanda and other Gamefuna employees. Do they ever succeed? Sorry to disappoint but idk I didn't write that far. I like to think they did tho

Also I totally shipped M x P03 the whole time but I was terrified to actually make it canon because I was worried people would call it cringe or think M was a Self-insert which they were but that's besides the point—

The point is:

a whole wizard! to hug and to throw! to play with! did you paste a ball png into the game? i think playing ball would be fun

"OH, YES YES! PLEASE CHALLENGER M, I WOULD BE MOST APPRECIATIVE OF ANY STIMULATION!!!"

"Ah... Sorry little guy but...

...I'm here for a reason, and I gotta get back to that-"

[after-annihilation]

hey M, do you have a tumblr

(ooc: trying to see how similar M is to Paws)

"...Well I'm not particularly active but yeah. Had a huge Warrior Cats phase when I was younger!"

"WHAT IS THIS CAT WARRIOR?"

"Oh you are going to love these books hold on I think I have a pdf of the first one somewhere on my computer—"

(ooc; Overall M and Paws are supposed to be the same character but in a they're from different timelines kinda way? More or less I just got tired of the self-loathing asshole mirror to P03 personality and swapped it for a more sassy and feircely loyal type deal :D)

[after-annihilation]

Wizard! Hi!

"HELLO AGAIN!!! HOW ARE YOU??"

"Ah, good to see them again... they're a lot taller than I expected... I know I'm a shorty but still—"

[after-annihilation]

That's so awesome!

"I know right. I gotta introduce y'all to Penny and the squad at some point, they're awesome!"

"Actually, I don't know... It's pretty bright from the looks of things, not very many audio files and..."

What's that sound? It's almost like someone is running at high speeds towards...

"CHALLENGER M!!! YOU'RE BACK!"

"EEEK!"

[after-annihilation]

Woah! What did you do? It seems cool

"Oh hey! Thanks! I got my buddy Penny to help me modify the controls left over from the game so now I can control this player character using..."

"Ta-da!"

"And yes, I know I look exhausted, I do not know why."

[after-annihilation]

what are you trying to code? what's going on?

"...Maybe? No... what if..? Ugh—"

"Oh, I'm just... wait, has it seriously been this long? Holy shit! Whoops! Well, I'm alright I guess... hold on! I think I got it!!"

[after-annihilation]

"Well the Wizard didn't have any useful advice, but I think I have an idea..."

[after-annihilation]

while P03 was indeed hurt in the past, turned into a Stoat card and used in Leshy's game: they also went ahead and turned Lonely Wizard and The Angler into cards in Their Own Game: as well as turning others into NPCs. so while it's understandable that they were hurt, they went and did the very same thing that hurt them- even if it was just to the means of putting Inscryption on the internet.

"That's what I've been trying to say! I remember things better than you think, ya know! Of course, I'm not exactly very good at explaining things, we can see how that ended..."

"Hold on... HEY! WIZARD KID! I forgot their name, so much for good memory-,"

"HELLO!!! YES???"

"Phew! Someone who wants to talk to me. Okay Wizard Kid, I've got some questions for ya"

"OH??? OKAY!"

[after-annihilation]

M what did you want to say?

"I'm so gonna regret this... Look, P03..."

"No, I get it. You believe them, don't you? You hate me, just like everyone else."

"WHAT? No I just-

Look, if what I've heard about you is true you've fucked up, and you've fucked up big time. But that doesn'-"

"Shut up... just shut up. I know damn well what I did. I already feel guilty enough, I don't need to hear how much you think I'm a monster aswell."

"No! I don't hate you! What I'm saying is if we're gonna be friends you've gotta learn to admit when you're-"

"See! You said it! You think I'm... I'm...*

"..."

"...P03..?"

"..."

Opening: P03.chr …5%…65%…99%

Error 403 - <no reason stated>

"Shit, shit... nonononono not again!"

[after-annihilation]

No, M, you need to listen to me. P03 is not a good person. Not matter how charming or funny or nice to you it is it's still hurt and used many, many people including Luke. You need to be more careful about how much you trust it.

"You... SHUT UP! They're lying M, you're smart enough to know that, surely?

"I was actually asking for you to hold on, P03."

"...What?"

[after-annihilation]

So you're just going to continue like nothing happened, like you didn't do what you did, P03?

"Wh- Again? Stop this attack at once, whoever you are."

"Now hold on just a second..."

[after-annihilation]

You make games?

"That's what I was about to say-"

"Well, it's nothing major, just some friends from a nerdy forum messing around and practicing for when we actually need to do something. We can never decide on what to do tho - I've always pushing for an rpg, but the others like puzzles or horror or PvP stuff."

"That sure sounds familiar..."

"Huh?"

"Nothing-"

[after-annihilation]

M are you an artist?

"Yeah, it's just a side thing though, not my job or anything. I mostly do pixel art for whatever the squad's latest game idea was."

[after-annihilation]

Aww they're bonding

"Obviously not, i was just bored of your annoying questions."

"Haha, you keep telling yourself that, Posy."

"..."

[after-annihilation]

"Tch, you are terrible at this!"

"HEY! You should be thankful that I was willing to draw the cards you were missing!

"Wh- what does this one do again?"
