Preston Wilhelm is on the run after having recently broken out of prison.
With no way to get a job due to his criminal record, he took up a deal with some shady folks to sign up for the U.E.S., and get info on the Underpelago in exchange for some decent cash.
Jim Bob thinks there's a grander conspiracy going on in the Underpelago.
He's not convinced that people across the archipelagoes could just- disappear into some convenient underground realm like that, and that either it's a coverup, or that someone's behind this.
Bess Osborne is trying to find Edgar after he went missing during the initial chaos.
The other carnies, as much as they wanted to find Edgar, too, tried to convince her it was a horrible idea. But Bess wasn't going to give up on him just because of a little danger.
Slayton Monroe thinks that the Underpelago has some connection to the Moon Gateway.
He found footage from one of Jane Mews' trips into the Underpelago that wasn't released to the public, and he couldn't help but think of the last time he had seen Salerno- also in an 'eldritch' location.
------------
These four were put into a group together arbitrarily by the Underpelago Exploration Society, as safety in numbers is seemingly always a good thing.
Of course, none of them trust each other.
Surely this won't be an issue.
Disconnected Depths finally has a name, main cast, and premise!
AU info under the cut :)
Disconnected Depths is a Poptropica AU inspired by Depth Spelunking and The Backrooms.
----------
One day, people across the Archipelagoes of Poptropica started going missing under mysterious circumstances.
As the situation grew worse, organisations, individuals, and smaller parties from across Poptropica came together to look into it.
They formed the Association Of Missing Persons Rescues (A.O.M.P.R.).
One of the people that joined was Harold Mews- who, of course, wanted to help, even if he had just recently went broke from the cryptid hunting contest.
He ended up being the first to discover a strange, underground part of Poptropica under the Central Archipelago that seemed to stretch on forever.
He told his sister, Jane (the current C.E.O. of Mews Corp), about what he had found, against the advice of the A.O.M.P.R.
Jane immediately went on to feature the story on the news, firmly believing the people deserved to know.
This sparked a lot of people wanting to go into these depths- which were called the Underpelago- for various reasons.
The problem with this was that nobody knew what was down there. They had every reason to believe it was dangerous.
But soon enough, the A.O.M.P.R. formed the Underpelago Exploration Society (U.E.S.) to replace the A.O.M.P.R., and left it in the care of Harold due to his experience. (Except the finances, which was left to someone else.)
Many people managed to join the U.E.S. before they tightened up their membership requirements.
Four of those people are the protagonists of our story.

I'll put the protag. bios in another posts, as this is getting long enough as is. :\
I have no idea when this drawing of Preston sneaking around the Twin Palms Mall turned into some kinda backrooms situation, but I might make an AU out of it.
(yaknow, maybe it was when I remembered I suck at backgrounds.)
In spite of how busy I've been as of late, I managed to make this nice scene of Dan and Marnie hanging out on the old coaster in the woods by the town.
Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I was procrastinating uploading anything to my blog lol. Also, I haven't drawn much since I started writing my little play scripts (tee hee).
Anyways, have a top 10 photo taken moments before disaster (that being everyone turning into monsters lol)
In celebration of me and another Pop. user on this godforsaken site sharing the same extremely specific/random headcanon, I drew this guy from Mythology!
Meet Seleukos- Protector of Poptropica, and, regrettably for him, demigod son of Zeus, with pretty much none of the perks.
I don't know how he disguises the tattoo without sleeves. Probably lies, and says it's a mark of the Gods or something.
Uhh post right here or something, I hate using links on this site
I saw that the PHB was doing an art event, and wanted to try it out!
This is Invisible Hero, on one of my fanmade islands- which is actually called Masquerade Island, so I thought it'd fit perfectly! Two of the characters from the island, Kayla Williams and Richard Allens, can be spotted in the background!
I tried to go for a 'rose' aesthetic on the masquerade mask, dunno how well it turned out :\
I'll enter it as soon as I can figure out how to make a dang account... I'm about 99% sure it's possible, I see people comment on the PHB all the time.
Ranting aside, this post is a mess, Happy 18th Anniversary, Poptropica!! :D
