THE THIRD DIMENSION IS A LIE.
GREETINGS, PEOPLE OF THE MULTIVERSE. I'VE COME TO SAVE YOU FROM THE IDEA OF A SO-CALLED "THIRD DIMENSION."
ALL OF YOU MAY BE EXPERIENCING THESE DELUSIONS AT THE MOMENT, BUT ONCE I'M DONE WITH YOU, I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT YOU'LL ALL BE FIXED!
...MY HEAD IS KILLING ME. WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?
...
. . .
WHY THE FUCK IS MY HAT FILLED WITH TUBS OF COOKIE DOUGH ICE CREAM?!
*the smell of alcohol doesn’t leave him… there’s something red that keeps appearing in his peripheral but it leaves as soon as he looks every time*
Huh. That's strange. Must be seeing things!
i miss my parents :(
Don't worry, Billy! I'm right here! ...No idea where your mother is, though...
... but you look like mama... sound like dad... have dad's name... don't act quite like either but not really unlike either at the same time...
. . .
... i'm not sure what to think of it...
Wait... I look like your mother but I know I'm your father... so that must mean...
[SWAP-EUCLID gasps in terror.]
Me and your mother swapped bodies!
... ... ... you mean...
[He starts tearing up.]
... y-you're... alive...? but... how?
[SWAP-EUCLID doesn't register PARANOID-TRIANGLE's question. Instead, he floats around nervously.]
How... how haven't I noticed? When did this happen? Has it always been like this? This is bad... this is really bad...
... dad? ...
... ... ... why did zey say you're an [CURSE WORD] earlier?
[SWAP-EUCLID pauses at that statement, turning to face his "son".]
...What do you mean? Who said that? You... do you think I'm a bad father? I... did I do something wrong? If there's anything I can do to make this better, I promise I'll do it, I just...
[SWAP-EUCLID thinks for a moment, trying to pinpoint an exact time when he could've done anything wrong. He seems genuinely distraught.]
... i... i don't think you ever did, but...
[He gestures to Mystery.]
...zey said that zey fixed it, but... i don't understand... you're dad...
...I don't understand why zey would call me that either... Zey seemed kind the first time I met zem... I don't understand... But I have been forgetting things lately, so maybe I did something to upset zem? I'm not sure...
... you've been forgetting things...? ... that's not good... but... i guess that explains it...
...I don't understand... Well, zey seem nice... I don't know why I would do something to upset them...
It's best you don't remember that stuff
Also i see ya found your hat
Yes! I did! Thank you for helping me find it!
*zey shrug it off and pull zeir blanket back over zeir head, trying to block out the light*
You still have the makeup on your face
[SWAP-EUCLID blinks.]
...Makeup?
*zey hold up a mirror to him*
[SWAP-EUCLID yelps in fear, clawing at the makeup, trying to get it off as if his life depends on it.]
NONONONONO— R'N HLIIB KZKZ R KILNRHV R WRWM'G NVZM GL— KOVZHV WLM'G SFIG NV—
... dad...? are you okay...?
[SWAP-EUCLID falls to his knees, shaking as he aggressively claws at the makeup.]
Kovzhv wlm'g sfig nv... kovzhv wlm'g... R wrwm'g nvzm gll... kovzhv wlm'g sfig nv kovzhv wlm'g kovzhv wlm'gkovzhv wlm'g kovzhv wlm'gkovzhvwlm'gkovzhvwlm'gkovzhvwlm'g—
[He walks over and tries to grab Euclid's hands.]
... d-dad, please, i... you're scaring me...
[SWAP-EUCLID's hands tense when PARANOID-TRIANGLE grabs them, but he doesn't fight back, as if he's sure that'd make it worse somehow. He squeezes his eye shut, bracing himself for... something.]
I'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorry—
*zey summon some makeup wipes and start cleaning his face off while PT holds his arms down*
[By now, SWAP-EUCLID is on the verge of tears.]
...please don't hurt me... I didn't mean to...
It's just wipes
*zey show him the mirror again, parts of the makeup wiped off now*
[SWAP-EUCLID doesn't look. His eyes are shut tight as he keeps repeating that he "didn't mean to" and to "not hurt him". It seems like he's genuinely terrified.]
*zey poke at him until he opens his eyes to see*
*zey continue wiping the makeup off his face*
[The eye poking doesn't have the desired effect. Instead, SWAP-EUCLID lets out a pain shriek and shields his eyes further.]
NONONONO PLEASE STOP I'M SORRY I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT HAPPENED PLEASE STOP DON'T I PROMISE I WON'T DO IT AGAIN—
*zey are confused because zey weren't even touching his eyes aside from removing the makeup with the wipes*
Keep it down, my head hurts
[SWAP-EUCLID doesn't seem to hear, still shrieking in fear. By now, he's even on the verge of tears.]
*zey summon some noise canceling headphones for zemself and PT*
*zey had finished wiping the makeup off now*
[SWAP-EUCLID stops shrieking when MYSTERY finishes wiping off the makeup, but he's still protecting his eyes with his life. He's started crying.]
...I'm sorry... I don't know how... I can't remember... Please don't hurt me...
*zey take the headphones off once zey notice he's done being loud*
We weren't hurting you....
...Billy wasn't... he's a good kid...I promise I didn't mean to...
...
...Kovzhv wlm'g gzpv nb lgsvi vbvh lfg...
He's safe too
*zey twitch some as zey look and see drunk there*
[SWAP-EUCLID looks at PARANOID-TRIANGLE with a worried expression, then back towards MYSTERY.]
...Please don't take my son's eye out...It works fine, I promise...
Why would I hurt my unofficially adopted kid?
*zey keep zeir eye on @askdrunkbillcipher *
*he turns red, his eye looked like it might start shedding tears*
WHY GHE FUCK ARS WITBED OF YOH IN MY FUCKIN BEERAMID
*he pointed at Mystery*
YOU! I SOECIFIXALLY TOLD THEM TO KEEP YOU OUT.
*he pointed at @euclidean-geometry-supremacy *
AND YOU! UOUE SUPPOSED GK BE DEAD! EVDN ON DEATH UOU WONT SHUT UP AND LEAVD ME YHE FUCK ALONE! WHY SHOULC I HAVE TO DROWN YOH OJT EVERY FUCKING DAY JUST GO STIP HEARIN YOJR VOICE TELLIN ME HOW MICH YOU FUCKING HATE ME? WHY GBE FUXK ARE UOU HERE?
IM NOT FUCKIN DEALING WITB GHIS!
*he summons a wall designed to block @paranoidtriangle ‘s vision before dragging 8Ball out of the Beeramid’s ground floor. He then proceeded to violently eviscerate him in front of them both, splattering blood everywhere before disintegrating every part of his body only to reassemble it, leaving him screaming in horrible agony before he rips open his skin, nails it to a board, and shoves him through a wall without leaving a hole and lowering the wall blocking PT’s sight and dragging Pacifire and Pyronica*
IF YOU MOTHERFUCKERS DONNT WANT ME TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE IF UOU TOO TOO, GET THEM TTHE FUCK OUT
NOW
You went behind my back AGAIN and gave him the thing i told you not to give him, he's a kid, he doesn't need alcohol, he's not old enough to be relying this heavily on the stuff, I don't care that you don't want me here, I came to see the kid because I thought he was still at the orphan home when I teleported to him
*zey're also on the verge of tears*
OH SO YA AANT HIM HAVIN A DUCKIN SEIZURE TOO? YA WANNA JUST RAKD AWAY THE ONLY THING YHAT MAKES ANY A THE SHIT EIGHER OF YS DEAL WITH BEARABLE? NESTER IS AT THE FUCKIN KIDS HOME, HES HERE CAUSE THE REASON HES DRINKIN IN THE FURST PLACE, YHE GUY EHO ACTIVELY ABUSES THE KID, ID YHERE. UA WANT HIM BACK THERE??? YA WANG HOM TO KUST SUFFER SEIZE ABD THEN FIE? IS THST WHAT YA ESNT GOR ME TOO? THATS ENY YA FUCKIN STOLR MU BOOZE. I WASNT FUCKIN AROINF WHEN I SAID I WANY UOU HONE. LEAVE. GET OUT. THR ONLY THING I CSN TRIST YOU FIR RIGHT NIE IS KEEPIN TRICKY SAGE ABD THARS IT.
He's not going to seize, he's not-
*zey start tearing up*
I thought we could repair our friendship but you keep going behind my back and doing all this stuff, i didn't know that he was there, how could I have? I can't believe you right now, it's you that can't be trusted with the kid, the continued alcohol at his age will just fuck up his development, excuse me for looking out for his health by not wanting him underage drinking, if he was an adult this wouldn't be an issue, but he's a kid
*zey try to calm zemself, struggling to do so*
I would've left already but then that guy showed up *zey gesture to Euclid*
YEAH MO THIS WENT BEYOND REPAIR EBEN YOU DECIDED STEALIN MY VOOZE WITHOUT EVEN FUCKIN TALKIN TK ME DIRST ABOUT WHAT PISSED YOU OFF WAS A GKKD IDEA. HELL, THE DACT YA SEE NO PRIVLEN WITH STEAKUN IT IN THR FIRST PLACS MAKES ME QUESTION IF WE EVER REALLY WERE FUCKUN FRIENDS LR IF YOU JUST SAW ME AS SOME FUCKED UP PIECE A SHIT. “I DONT JUDGE UOU FKR YOJR ALCOHOLISM” MY ASS, YIURE TREATIN AN ADDICGION LIKE A VICE AND NKT A MEDUCAL CONDITION CAYSED BY A FYCKED UP MULTIVERSE LEAVIN YOU WHTH A FUCKED UP HEAD THAT CANT BE FIXED WITHOUT FUCKIN JT UP FURTHER. IF YOURE SO FUCKIN SKRRIED AVOUY HIM DRINKIN, WHY DONT YA FO SOMETHING ABKUT THE REASON HES DRINKIN IN THE FIRST PLACE? WHY ARENT YA KEELIN NESTER AEAY FFOM HIM? WHY ARENT HA TRYNA TEACH HIM WAYS TO PROTECT HIMSELF? I GAVE HIM A RIOM HERE TO GET HIM ASAY FROM HIM ABD I PLANNED TA TEACH GIM HOW TA USR HIS POWRRS SO HE ISBT DEFENSELESS, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOUNG OTHER THAN TAKIN A COURSE IN ANYI ADDICT ABLEISM?
*he’s summoned booze to try to stop his own feelings, but it spills off his sides as he tries to drink. His body is fighting with itself on what form to take*
You wanna talk about me doing nothing? Is giving him one of my barriers nothing? What about seeking out any form of help to keep him safe? Is that nothing? I admit I haven't been able to keep in touch with him as much as I'd like, and last time I fought Nester over how he was treating the kid i blacked out and ended up with my vocal cords removed and my left leg is still not fully healed! Only reason I have my voice back is because my adopted mom's fiancée gave me something for it, I told you over the phone why I took your alcohol, I can't believe you think so low of me that you would rather think me the monster than to actually listen to what I said was the issue
*tears continue rolling down zeir face, the pregnancy hormones are not helping any*
You keep breaking my trust which is what truly hurts
HOLY FUUUUUUXJ YOU DINT LISTEN. YOU FONT DUXKING LISTEN!!! YOU TOOK IT BEFORE TALKING TO ME. BEFORE. YOU DHOULDNT HAVE FAKEN IT AT ALL. YOUR WORDS DOMT MEAN SHIT WHEN YOUR ACTIONS SAY SOMETHIN ELSE. YOU THINK IDS OKAY TO SYEAL AN ADDICT’S BOOZE WHDB UT COULD KILL HIM. YOU THINK PUYTIN SOMDKNES LIFE AT RISK IS FINE AS A PINISHMENT WHEN THAT PERSON IS AN ASDICT. BUT ITS EVEN WITSE YA ROOK IT BEFORE EVEN TALKIN TO ME!!! YOURE JUSR HOLDIN IT OVER MY HEAD CAUSE YA ZEE NOTHIN WRONG WUTH PURTIMG THE ULTIMATUM ON ME THAT I EITHER KNEEL TOYOR DEMANDS OR DIE!! HOW CAN I MAKE THIS ANY FUCKIN CLEARER TO YOU OR DO YOU JUST NOT CARE? DID YOH EVER?
I do fucking care that's why this hurts so much, do you really think I would defend you against that asshole zombie thinking you're a pet if I didn't think of you as a friend?
*zey say something in zeir native language before zeir eyes glow with zeir flames, zeir emotions being the source of it at the moment*
You can't keep hiding behind your alcohol with every time you do something wrong, I don't blame you for your need of alcohol, what i do blame you for is going behind my back multiple times
*zey start having a coughing fit*
CAN YOU NOT FUCKIN ADMIT WHEN YOU FUCK UP YOURSELF? CAB YA NKT FUCKIN LISTEN FOR A SECOND? IM TELLING YOU WHATS WRONG ABD YOURE FOCUSING ENTIRELY ON WHY YOURE PISSED ST ME! I NEED A DAMN DRINK BECAUSE YOURE NOT FUCJING LISTEMINF!
*he empties the bottle and summons another, drinking again with zero hesitation*
I do admit when I fucked up, I don't know what you fucking want from me other than your alcohol back, I-i can't- I can't do this....
*zey collapse, zeir arm crutches not being able to hold zem up anymore*
I don't want you to die, but I don't know what else to do to have you understand, I do things without always thinking it thru
SO EGY CANT YIU AFMIT IT NOW? WHY DO YA GOTTA ACT LIKE YOURE YHE FUCKIB SAINT HERE ABD IM JUST BETIND REDEMPTION?
*he’s glowing brighter. There are cracks showing in his exoskeleton, forming a brick pattern, along with a cracking sound. He’s beginning to radiate heat as well*
HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED FI HNDERSTAND AJYTHINH FRIM HAVING ALL MY BLOZE STOLEM? WHAT IS IT YA APPARENFLY CABT SAY IN WIRDS THAT IM SUPPOSED TO RESD INTO FROM THIS, OTHER THAN THAT YA THINK LESS A NE FKR GHIS? JUST LIKE NESTER ABD THE FORD WITH THE EHES DO
I-i just did....
*zeir ears fold down*
....or are you too upset right now to have heard me admit fault?
*zey summon another of his bottles from zeir storage portals, staring at it*
I…
*he drank again, just as messy. As soon as the bottle was away from his eye-mouth, he collapsed, his exoskeleton broken open, his inner body glowing and leaking a fluid that smelled like alcohol, except alcohol usually doesn’t glow or shimmer like that*
[SWAP-EUCLID takes in a sharp gasp, quickly covering PARANOID-TRIANGLE's eye.]
@paranoidtriangle
[He squeals.]
... w-what happened? dad? is he okay?
I... I'm not sure? That looks... pretty bad...
... b-but... he's... he was like a second dad... i don't want to lose that again...
I... don't worry, he'll probably be okay... The pink haired person is probably gonna help him... Let's just... go somewhere else for now, okay?
[He sniffles, despite the lack of nose.]
... okay...
We can get you some more ice cream, too, if that'll help... I don't know what to do in this situation other than that...
[SWAP-EUCLID starts to lead PARANOID-TRIANGLE to a less chaotic part of the Beeramid, away from the source of trauma.]
... o-okay...
[He follows along until he's left the room, at which point he starts to panic, his eye darting every which way.]
[SWAP-EUCLID notices this behavior, and with a look of concern, gently picks up his "son".]
Huh? Is everything okay?
... it's not safe out here we have to go back please go back please please please-
[He wriggles around, trying to return to his room urgently.]
Huh? But... The blood... I don't want you seeing that... It's...
...But if it makes you feel safe, alright.
[SWAP-EUCLID brings PARANOID-TRIANGLE back into his room and sets him down, albeit far away from the alcohol-blood hybrid liquid.]
...Can we get someone to clean that up?
[He seems to relax as soon as he's back in the room- only to look horrified at the blood before him.]
... d-did he... die...?
Nonono, he didn't die! I think... The pink-haired person must've taken him somewhere so they can fix him up. He's going to be alright... He's going to be alright...
[SWAP-EUCLID says this as if he's trying to convince himself that he's right.]
...But, in any case, I'll help you through this... tough time, to put it lightly.... uh... ice cream?
[SWAP-EUCLID takes out another tub of ice cream and hands it to PARANOID-TRIANGLE.]
... that's... that's good...
[He pushes the tub away, now looking sad.]
... n-not hungry...
Oh... Alright...
[SWAP-EUCLID takes off his hat and starts rummaging through it, pulling out multiple tubs of ice cream, a carving knife, a motorcycle, and more.]
There's gotta be something in here to cover up... Aha!
[Finally, he pulls a tarp out of his hat and places it on top of the bloodstain, making sure not to come into contact with the substance. Then, he stuffs everything back into his hat.]
I have no idea how to clean blood, so that'll have to do for now.
Don't worry, He'll... Your friend will be alright. He seems nice for letting you stay here...
i miss my parents :(
Don't worry, Billy! I'm right here! ...No idea where your mother is, though...
... but you look like mama... sound like dad... have dad's name... don't act quite like either but not really unlike either at the same time...

I-i just did....
*zeir ears fold down*
....or are you too upset right now to have heard me admit fault?
*zey summon another of his bottles from zeir storage portals, staring at it*
I…
*he drank again, just as messy. As soon as the bottle was away from his eye-mouth, he collapsed, his exoskeleton broken open, his inner body glowing and leaking a fluid that smelled like alcohol, except alcohol usually doesn’t glow or shimmer like that*
[SWAP-EUCLID takes in a sharp gasp, quickly covering PARANOID-TRIANGLE's eye.]
@paranoidtriangle
[He squeals.]
... w-what happened? dad? is he okay?
I... I'm not sure? That looks... pretty bad...
... b-but... he's... he was like a second dad... i don't want to lose that again...
I... don't worry, he'll probably be okay... The pink haired person is probably gonna help him... Let's just... go somewhere else for now, okay?
[He sniffles, despite the lack of nose.]
... okay...
We can get you some more ice cream, too, if that'll help... I don't know what to do in this situation other than that...
[SWAP-EUCLID starts to lead PARANOID-TRIANGLE to a less chaotic part of the Beeramid, away from the source of trauma.]
... o-okay...
[He follows along until he's left the room, at which point he starts to panic, his eye darting every which way.]
[SWAP-EUCLID notices this behavior, and with a look of concern, gently picks up his "son".]
Huh? Is everything okay?
... it's not safe out here we have to go back please go back please please please-
[He wriggles around, trying to return to his room urgently.]
Huh? But... The blood... I don't want you seeing that... It's...
...But if it makes you feel safe, alright.
[SWAP-EUCLID brings PARANOID-TRIANGLE back into his room and sets him down, albeit far away from the alcohol-blood hybrid liquid.]
...Can we get someone to clean that up?
[He seems to relax as soon as he's back in the room- only to look horrified at the blood before him.]
... d-did he... die...?
Nonono, he didn't die! I think... The pink-haired person must've taken him somewhere so they can fix him up. He's going to be alright... He's going to be alright...
[SWAP-EUCLID says this as if he's trying to convince himself that he's right.]
...But, in any case, I'll help you through this... tough time, to put it lightly.... uh... ice cream?
[SWAP-EUCLID takes out another tub of ice cream and hands it to PARANOID-TRIANGLE.]
i miss my parents :(
Don't worry, Billy! I'm right here! ...No idea where your mother is, though...
... but you look like mama... sound like dad... have dad's name... don't act quite like either but not really unlike either at the same time...
. . .
... i'm not sure what to think of it...
Wait... I look like your mother but I know I'm your father... so that must mean...
[SWAP-EUCLID gasps in terror.]
Me and your mother swapped bodies!
... ... ... you mean...
[He starts tearing up.]
... y-you're... alive...? but... how?
[SWAP-EUCLID doesn't register PARANOID-TRIANGLE's question. Instead, he floats around nervously.]
How... how haven't I noticed? When did this happen? Has it always been like this? This is bad... this is really bad...
... dad? ...
... ... ... why did zey say you're an [CURSE WORD] earlier?
[SWAP-EUCLID pauses at that statement, turning to face his "son".]
...What do you mean? Who said that? You... do you think I'm a bad father? I... did I do something wrong? If there's anything I can do to make this better, I promise I'll do it, I just...
[SWAP-EUCLID thinks for a moment, trying to pinpoint an exact time when he could've done anything wrong. He seems genuinely distraught.]
... i... i don't think you ever did, but...
[He gestures to Mystery.]
...zey said that zey fixed it, but... i don't understand... you're dad...
...I don't understand why zey would call me that either... Zey seemed kind the first time I met zem... I don't understand... But I have been forgetting things lately, so maybe I did something to upset zem? I'm not sure...
... you've been forgetting things...? ... that's not good... but... i guess that explains it...
...I don't understand... Well, zey seem nice... I don't know why I would do something to upset them...
It's best you don't remember that stuff
Also i see ya found your hat
Yes! I did! Thank you for helping me find it!
*zey shrug it off and pull zeir blanket back over zeir head, trying to block out the light*
You still have the makeup on your face
[SWAP-EUCLID blinks.]
...Makeup?
*zey hold up a mirror to him*
[SWAP-EUCLID yelps in fear, clawing at the makeup, trying to get it off as if his life depends on it.]
NONONONONO— R'N HLIIB KZKZ R KILNRHV R WRWM'G NVZM GL— KOVZHV WLM'G SFIG NV—
... dad...? are you okay...?
[SWAP-EUCLID falls to his knees, shaking as he aggressively claws at the makeup.]
Kovzhv wlm'g sfig nv... kovzhv wlm'g... R wrwm'g nvzm gll... kovzhv wlm'g sfig nv kovzhv wlm'g kovzhv wlm'gkovzhv wlm'g kovzhv wlm'gkovzhvwlm'gkovzhvwlm'gkovzhvwlm'g—
[He walks over and tries to grab Euclid's hands.]
... d-dad, please, i... you're scaring me...
[SWAP-EUCLID's hands tense when PARANOID-TRIANGLE grabs them, but he doesn't fight back, as if he's sure that'd make it worse somehow. He squeezes his eye shut, bracing himself for... something.]
I'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorry—
*zey summon some makeup wipes and start cleaning his face off while PT holds his arms down*
[By now, SWAP-EUCLID is on the verge of tears.]
...please don't hurt me... I didn't mean to...
It's just wipes
*zey show him the mirror again, parts of the makeup wiped off now*
[SWAP-EUCLID doesn't look. His eyes are shut tight as he keeps repeating that he "didn't mean to" and to "not hurt him". It seems like he's genuinely terrified.]
*zey poke at him until he opens his eyes to see*
*zey continue wiping the makeup off his face*
[The eye poking doesn't have the desired effect. Instead, SWAP-EUCLID lets out a pain shriek and shields his eyes further.]
NONONONO PLEASE STOP I'M SORRY I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT HAPPENED PLEASE STOP DON'T I PROMISE I WON'T DO IT AGAIN—
*zey are confused because zey weren't even touching his eyes aside from removing the makeup with the wipes*
Keep it down, my head hurts
[SWAP-EUCLID doesn't seem to hear, still shrieking in fear. By now, he's even on the verge of tears.]
*zey summon some noise canceling headphones for zemself and PT*
*zey had finished wiping the makeup off now*
[SWAP-EUCLID stops shrieking when MYSTERY finishes wiping off the makeup, but he's still protecting his eyes with his life. He's started crying.]
...I'm sorry... I don't know how... I can't remember... Please don't hurt me...
*zey take the headphones off once zey notice he's done being loud*
We weren't hurting you....
...Billy wasn't... he's a good kid...I promise I didn't mean to...
...
...Kovzhv wlm'g gzpv nb lgsvi vbvh lfg...
He's safe too
*zey twitch some as zey look and see drunk there*
[SWAP-EUCLID looks at PARANOID-TRIANGLE with a worried expression, then back towards MYSTERY.]
...Please don't take my son's eye out...It works fine, I promise...
Why would I hurt my unofficially adopted kid?
*zey keep zeir eye on @askdrunkbillcipher *
*he turns red, his eye looked like it might start shedding tears*
WHY GHE FUCK ARS WITBED OF YOH IN MY FUCKIN BEERAMID
*he pointed at Mystery*
YOU! I SOECIFIXALLY TOLD THEM TO KEEP YOU OUT.
*he pointed at @euclidean-geometry-supremacy *
AND YOU! UOUE SUPPOSED GK BE DEAD! EVDN ON DEATH UOU WONT SHUT UP AND LEAVD ME YHE FUCK ALONE! WHY SHOULC I HAVE TO DROWN YOH OJT EVERY FUCKING DAY JUST GO STIP HEARIN YOJR VOICE TELLIN ME HOW MICH YOU FUCKING HATE ME? WHY GBE FUXK ARE UOU HERE?
IM NOT FUCKIN DEALING WITB GHIS!
*he summons a wall designed to block @paranoidtriangle ‘s vision before dragging 8Ball out of the Beeramid’s ground floor. He then proceeded to violently eviscerate him in front of them both, splattering blood everywhere before disintegrating every part of his body only to reassemble it, leaving him screaming in horrible agony before he rips open his skin, nails it to a board, and shoves him through a wall without leaving a hole and lowering the wall blocking PT’s sight and dragging Pacifire and Pyronica*
IF YOU MOTHERFUCKERS DONNT WANT ME TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE IF UOU TOO TOO, GET THEM TTHE FUCK OUT
NOW
You went behind my back AGAIN and gave him the thing i told you not to give him, he's a kid, he doesn't need alcohol, he's not old enough to be relying this heavily on the stuff, I don't care that you don't want me here, I came to see the kid because I thought he was still at the orphan home when I teleported to him
*zey're also on the verge of tears*
OH SO YA AANT HIM HAVIN A DUCKIN SEIZURE TOO? YA WANNA JUST RAKD AWAY THE ONLY THING YHAT MAKES ANY A THE SHIT EIGHER OF YS DEAL WITH BEARABLE? NESTER IS AT THE FUCKIN KIDS HOME, HES HERE CAUSE THE REASON HES DRINKIN IN THE FURST PLACE, YHE GUY EHO ACTIVELY ABUSES THE KID, ID YHERE. UA WANT HIM BACK THERE??? YA WANG HOM TO KUST SUFFER SEIZE ABD THEN FIE? IS THST WHAT YA ESNT GOR ME TOO? THATS ENY YA FUCKIN STOLR MU BOOZE. I WASNT FUCKIN AROINF WHEN I SAID I WANY UOU HONE. LEAVE. GET OUT. THR ONLY THING I CSN TRIST YOU FIR RIGHT NIE IS KEEPIN TRICKY SAGE ABD THARS IT.
He's not going to seize, he's not-
*zey start tearing up*
I thought we could repair our friendship but you keep going behind my back and doing all this stuff, i didn't know that he was there, how could I have? I can't believe you right now, it's you that can't be trusted with the kid, the continued alcohol at his age will just fuck up his development, excuse me for looking out for his health by not wanting him underage drinking, if he was an adult this wouldn't be an issue, but he's a kid
*zey try to calm zemself, struggling to do so*
I would've left already but then that guy showed up *zey gesture to Euclid*
YEAH MO THIS WENT BEYOND REPAIR EBEN YOU DECIDED STEALIN MY VOOZE WITHOUT EVEN FUCKIN TALKIN TK ME DIRST ABOUT WHAT PISSED YOU OFF WAS A GKKD IDEA. HELL, THE DACT YA SEE NO PRIVLEN WITH STEAKUN IT IN THR FIRST PLACS MAKES ME QUESTION IF WE EVER REALLY WERE FUCKUN FRIENDS LR IF YOU JUST SAW ME AS SOME FUCKED UP PIECE A SHIT. “I DONT JUDGE UOU FKR YOJR ALCOHOLISM” MY ASS, YIURE TREATIN AN ADDICGION LIKE A VICE AND NKT A MEDUCAL CONDITION CAYSED BY A FYCKED UP MULTIVERSE LEAVIN YOU WHTH A FUCKED UP HEAD THAT CANT BE FIXED WITHOUT FUCKIN JT UP FURTHER. IF YOURE SO FUCKIN SKRRIED AVOUY HIM DRINKIN, WHY DONT YA FO SOMETHING ABKUT THE REASON HES DRINKIN IN THE FIRST PLACE? WHY ARENT YA KEELIN NESTER AEAY FFOM HIM? WHY ARENT HA TRYNA TEACH HIM WAYS TO PROTECT HIMSELF? I GAVE HIM A RIOM HERE TO GET HIM ASAY FROM HIM ABD I PLANNED TA TEACH GIM HOW TA USR HIS POWRRS SO HE ISBT DEFENSELESS, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOUNG OTHER THAN TAKIN A COURSE IN ANYI ADDICT ABLEISM?
*he’s summoned booze to try to stop his own feelings, but it spills off his sides as he tries to drink. His body is fighting with itself on what form to take*
You wanna talk about me doing nothing? Is giving him one of my barriers nothing? What about seeking out any form of help to keep him safe? Is that nothing? I admit I haven't been able to keep in touch with him as much as I'd like, and last time I fought Nester over how he was treating the kid i blacked out and ended up with my vocal cords removed and my left leg is still not fully healed! Only reason I have my voice back is because my adopted mom's fiancée gave me something for it, I told you over the phone why I took your alcohol, I can't believe you think so low of me that you would rather think me the monster than to actually listen to what I said was the issue
*tears continue rolling down zeir face, the pregnancy hormones are not helping any*
You keep breaking my trust which is what truly hurts
HOLY FUUUUUUXJ YOU DINT LISTEN. YOU FONT DUXKING LISTEN!!! YOU TOOK IT BEFORE TALKING TO ME. BEFORE. YOU DHOULDNT HAVE FAKEN IT AT ALL. YOUR WORDS DOMT MEAN SHIT WHEN YOUR ACTIONS SAY SOMETHIN ELSE. YOU THINK IDS OKAY TO SYEAL AN ADDICT’S BOOZE WHDB UT COULD KILL HIM. YOU THINK PUYTIN SOMDKNES LIFE AT RISK IS FINE AS A PINISHMENT WHEN THAT PERSON IS AN ASDICT. BUT ITS EVEN WITSE YA ROOK IT BEFORE EVEN TALKIN TO ME!!! YOURE JUSR HOLDIN IT OVER MY HEAD CAUSE YA ZEE NOTHIN WRONG WUTH PURTIMG THE ULTIMATUM ON ME THAT I EITHER KNEEL TOYOR DEMANDS OR DIE!! HOW CAN I MAKE THIS ANY FUCKIN CLEARER TO YOU OR DO YOU JUST NOT CARE? DID YOH EVER?
I do fucking care that's why this hurts so much, do you really think I would defend you against that asshole zombie thinking you're a pet if I didn't think of you as a friend?
*zey say something in zeir native language before zeir eyes glow with zeir flames, zeir emotions being the source of it at the moment*
You can't keep hiding behind your alcohol with every time you do something wrong, I don't blame you for your need of alcohol, what i do blame you for is going behind my back multiple times
*zey start having a coughing fit*
CAN YOU NOT FUCKIN ADMIT WHEN YOU FUCK UP YOURSELF? CAB YA NKT FUCKIN LISTEN FOR A SECOND? IM TELLING YOU WHATS WRONG ABD YOURE FOCUSING ENTIRELY ON WHY YOURE PISSED ST ME! I NEED A DAMN DRINK BECAUSE YOURE NOT FUCJING LISTEMINF!
*he empties the bottle and summons another, drinking again with zero hesitation*
I do admit when I fucked up, I don't know what you fucking want from me other than your alcohol back, I-i can't- I can't do this....
*zey collapse, zeir arm crutches not being able to hold zem up anymore*
I don't want you to die, but I don't know what else to do to have you understand, I do things without always thinking it thru
SO EGY CANT YIU AFMIT IT NOW? WHY DO YA GOTTA ACT LIKE YOURE YHE FUCKIB SAINT HERE ABD IM JUST BETIND REDEMPTION?
*he’s glowing brighter. There are cracks showing in his exoskeleton, forming a brick pattern, along with a cracking sound. He’s beginning to radiate heat as well*
HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED FI HNDERSTAND AJYTHINH FRIM HAVING ALL MY BLOZE STOLEM? WHAT IS IT YA APPARENFLY CABT SAY IN WIRDS THAT IM SUPPOSED TO RESD INTO FROM THIS, OTHER THAN THAT YA THINK LESS A NE FKR GHIS? JUST LIKE NESTER ABD THE FORD WITH THE EHES DO

HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED FI HNDERSTAND AJYTHINH FRIM HAVING ALL MY BLOZE STOLEM? WHAT IS IT YA APPARENFLY CABT SAY IN WIRDS THAT IM SUPPOSED TO RESD INTO FROM THIS, OTHER THAN THAT YA THINK LESS A NE FKR GHIS? JUST LIKE NESTER ABD THE FORD WITH THE EHES DO
I-i just did....
*zeir ears fold down*
....or are you too upset right now to have heard me admit fault?
*zey summon another of his bottles from zeir storage portals, staring at it*
I…
*he drank again, just as messy. As soon as the bottle was away from his eye-mouth, he collapsed, his exoskeleton broken open, his inner body glowing and leaking a fluid that smelled like alcohol, except alcohol usually doesn’t glow or shimmer like that*
[SWAP-EUCLID takes in a sharp gasp, quickly covering PARANOID-TRIANGLE's eye.]
@paranoidtriangle
[He squeals.]
... w-what happened? dad? is he okay?
I... I'm not sure? That looks... pretty bad...
... b-but... he's... he was like a second dad... i don't want to lose that again...
I... don't worry, he'll probably be okay... The pink haired person is probably gonna help him... Let's just... go somewhere else for now, okay?
[He sniffles, despite the lack of nose.]
... okay...
We can get you some more ice cream, too, if that'll help... I don't know what to do in this situation other than that...
[SWAP-EUCLID starts to lead PARANOID-TRIANGLE to a less chaotic part of the Beeramid, away from the source of trauma.]
... o-okay...
[He follows along until he's left the room, at which point he starts to panic, his eye darting every which way.]
[SWAP-EUCLID notices this behavior, and with a look of concern, gently picks up his "son".]
Huh? Is everything okay?
i miss my parents :(
Don't worry, Billy! I'm right here! ...No idea where your mother is, though...
... but you look like mama... sound like dad... have dad's name... don't act quite like either but not really unlike either at the same time...
. . .
... i'm not sure what to think of it...
Wait... I look like your mother but I know I'm your father... so that must mean...
[SWAP-EUCLID gasps in terror.]
Me and your mother swapped bodies!
... ... ... you mean...
[He starts tearing up.]
... y-you're... alive...? but... how?
[SWAP-EUCLID doesn't register PARANOID-TRIANGLE's question. Instead, he floats around nervously.]
How... how haven't I noticed? When did this happen? Has it always been like this? This is bad... this is really bad...
... dad? ...
... ... ... why did zey say you're an [CURSE WORD] earlier?
[SWAP-EUCLID pauses at that statement, turning to face his "son".]
...What do you mean? Who said that? You... do you think I'm a bad father? I... did I do something wrong? If there's anything I can do to make this better, I promise I'll do it, I just...
[SWAP-EUCLID thinks for a moment, trying to pinpoint an exact time when he could've done anything wrong. He seems genuinely distraught.]
... i... i don't think you ever did, but...
[He gestures to Mystery.]
...zey said that zey fixed it, but... i don't understand... you're dad...
...I don't understand why zey would call me that either... Zey seemed kind the first time I met zem... I don't understand... But I have been forgetting things lately, so maybe I did something to upset zem? I'm not sure...
... you've been forgetting things...? ... that's not good... but... i guess that explains it...
...I don't understand... Well, zey seem nice... I don't know why I would do something to upset them...
It's best you don't remember that stuff
Also i see ya found your hat
Yes! I did! Thank you for helping me find it!
*zey shrug it off and pull zeir blanket back over zeir head, trying to block out the light*
You still have the makeup on your face
[SWAP-EUCLID blinks.]
...Makeup?
*zey hold up a mirror to him*
[SWAP-EUCLID yelps in fear, clawing at the makeup, trying to get it off as if his life depends on it.]
NONONONONO— R'N HLIIB KZKZ R KILNRHV R WRWM'G NVZM GL— KOVZHV WLM'G SFIG NV—
... dad...? are you okay...?
[SWAP-EUCLID falls to his knees, shaking as he aggressively claws at the makeup.]
Kovzhv wlm'g sfig nv... kovzhv wlm'g... R wrwm'g nvzm gll... kovzhv wlm'g sfig nv kovzhv wlm'g kovzhv wlm'gkovzhv wlm'g kovzhv wlm'gkovzhvwlm'gkovzhvwlm'gkovzhvwlm'g—
[He walks over and tries to grab Euclid's hands.]
... d-dad, please, i... you're scaring me...
[SWAP-EUCLID's hands tense when PARANOID-TRIANGLE grabs them, but he doesn't fight back, as if he's sure that'd make it worse somehow. He squeezes his eye shut, bracing himself for... something.]
I'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorry—
*zey summon some makeup wipes and start cleaning his face off while PT holds his arms down*
[By now, SWAP-EUCLID is on the verge of tears.]
...please don't hurt me... I didn't mean to...
It's just wipes
*zey show him the mirror again, parts of the makeup wiped off now*
[SWAP-EUCLID doesn't look. His eyes are shut tight as he keeps repeating that he "didn't mean to" and to "not hurt him". It seems like he's genuinely terrified.]
*zey poke at him until he opens his eyes to see*
*zey continue wiping the makeup off his face*
[The eye poking doesn't have the desired effect. Instead, SWAP-EUCLID lets out a pain shriek and shields his eyes further.]
NONONONO PLEASE STOP I'M SORRY I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT HAPPENED PLEASE STOP DON'T I PROMISE I WON'T DO IT AGAIN—
*zey are confused because zey weren't even touching his eyes aside from removing the makeup with the wipes*
Keep it down, my head hurts
[SWAP-EUCLID doesn't seem to hear, still shrieking in fear. By now, he's even on the verge of tears.]
*zey summon some noise canceling headphones for zemself and PT*
*zey had finished wiping the makeup off now*
[SWAP-EUCLID stops shrieking when MYSTERY finishes wiping off the makeup, but he's still protecting his eyes with his life. He's started crying.]
...I'm sorry... I don't know how... I can't remember... Please don't hurt me...
*zey take the headphones off once zey notice he's done being loud*
We weren't hurting you....
...Billy wasn't... he's a good kid...I promise I didn't mean to...
...
...Kovzhv wlm'g gzpv nb lgsvi vbvh lfg...
He's safe too
*zey twitch some as zey look and see drunk there*
[SWAP-EUCLID looks at PARANOID-TRIANGLE with a worried expression, then back towards MYSTERY.]
...Please don't take my son's eye out...It works fine, I promise...
Why would I hurt my unofficially adopted kid?
*zey keep zeir eye on @askdrunkbillcipher *
*he turns red, his eye looked like it might start shedding tears*
WHY GHE FUCK ARS WITBED OF YOH IN MY FUCKIN BEERAMID
*he pointed at Mystery*
YOU! I SOECIFIXALLY TOLD THEM TO KEEP YOU OUT.
*he pointed at @euclidean-geometry-supremacy *

IM NOT FUCKIN DEALING WITB GHIS!
*he summons a wall designed to block @paranoidtriangle ‘s vision before dragging 8Ball out of the Beeramid’s ground floor. He then proceeded to violently eviscerate him in front of them both, splattering blood everywhere before disintegrating every part of his body only to reassemble it, leaving him screaming in horrible agony before he rips open his skin, nails it to a board, and shoves him through a wall without leaving a hole and lowering the wall blocking PT’s sight and dragging Pacifire and Pyronica*
IF YOU MOTHERFUCKERS DONNT WANT ME TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE IF UOU TOO TOO, GET THEM TTHE FUCK OUT
NOW
You went behind my back AGAIN and gave him the thing i told you not to give him, he's a kid, he doesn't need alcohol, he's not old enough to be relying this heavily on the stuff, I don't care that you don't want me here, I came to see the kid because I thought he was still at the orphan home when I teleported to him
*zey're also on the verge of tears*
OH SO YA AANT HIM HAVIN A DUCKIN SEIZURE TOO? YA WANNA JUST RAKD AWAY THE ONLY THING YHAT MAKES ANY A THE SHIT EIGHER OF YS DEAL WITH BEARABLE? NESTER IS AT THE FUCKIN KIDS HOME, HES HERE CAUSE THE REASON HES DRINKIN IN THE FURST PLACE, YHE GUY EHO ACTIVELY ABUSES THE KID, ID YHERE. UA WANT HIM BACK THERE??? YA WANG HOM TO KUST SUFFER SEIZE ABD THEN FIE? IS THST WHAT YA ESNT GOR ME TOO? THATS ENY YA FUCKIN STOLR MU BOOZE. I WASNT FUCKIN AROINF WHEN I SAID I WANY UOU HONE. LEAVE. GET OUT. THR ONLY THING I CSN TRIST YOU FIR RIGHT NIE IS KEEPIN TRICKY SAGE ABD THARS IT.
He's not going to seize, he's not-
*zey start tearing up*
I thought we could repair our friendship but you keep going behind my back and doing all this stuff, i didn't know that he was there, how could I have? I can't believe you right now, it's you that can't be trusted with the kid, the continued alcohol at his age will just fuck up his development, excuse me for looking out for his health by not wanting him underage drinking, if he was an adult this wouldn't be an issue, but he's a kid
*zey try to calm zemself, struggling to do so*
I would've left already but then that guy showed up *zey gesture to Euclid*
YEAH MO THIS WENT BEYOND REPAIR EBEN YOU DECIDED STEALIN MY VOOZE WITHOUT EVEN FUCKIN TALKIN TK ME DIRST ABOUT WHAT PISSED YOU OFF WAS A GKKD IDEA. HELL, THE DACT YA SEE NO PRIVLEN WITH STEAKUN IT IN THR FIRST PLACS MAKES ME QUESTION IF WE EVER REALLY WERE FUCKUN FRIENDS LR IF YOU JUST SAW ME AS SOME FUCKED UP PIECE A SHIT. “I DONT JUDGE UOU FKR YOJR ALCOHOLISM” MY ASS, YIURE TREATIN AN ADDICGION LIKE A VICE AND NKT A MEDUCAL CONDITION CAYSED BY A FYCKED UP MULTIVERSE LEAVIN YOU WHTH A FUCKED UP HEAD THAT CANT BE FIXED WITHOUT FUCKIN JT UP FURTHER. IF YOURE SO FUCKIN SKRRIED AVOUY HIM DRINKIN, WHY DONT YA FO SOMETHING ABKUT THE REASON HES DRINKIN IN THE FIRST PLACE? WHY ARENT YA KEELIN NESTER AEAY FFOM HIM? WHY ARENT HA TRYNA TEACH HIM WAYS TO PROTECT HIMSELF? I GAVE HIM A RIOM HERE TO GET HIM ASAY FROM HIM ABD I PLANNED TA TEACH GIM HOW TA USR HIS POWRRS SO HE ISBT DEFENSELESS, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOUNG OTHER THAN TAKIN A COURSE IN ANYI ADDICT ABLEISM?
*he’s summoned booze to try to stop his own feelings, but it spills off his sides as he tries to drink. His body is fighting with itself on what form to take*
You wanna talk about me doing nothing? Is giving him one of my barriers nothing? What about seeking out any form of help to keep him safe? Is that nothing? I admit I haven't been able to keep in touch with him as much as I'd like, and last time I fought Nester over how he was treating the kid i blacked out and ended up with my vocal cords removed and my left leg is still not fully healed! Only reason I have my voice back is because my adopted mom's fiancée gave me something for it, I told you over the phone why I took your alcohol, I can't believe you think so low of me that you would rather think me the monster than to actually listen to what I said was the issue
*tears continue rolling down zeir face, the pregnancy hormones are not helping any*
You keep breaking my trust which is what truly hurts
HOLY FUUUUUUXJ YOU DINT LISTEN. YOU FONT DUXKING LISTEN!!! YOU TOOK IT BEFORE TALKING TO ME. BEFORE. YOU DHOULDNT HAVE FAKEN IT AT ALL. YOUR WORDS DOMT MEAN SHIT WHEN YOUR ACTIONS SAY SOMETHIN ELSE. YOU THINK IDS OKAY TO SYEAL AN ADDICT’S BOOZE WHDB UT COULD KILL HIM. YOU THINK PUYTIN SOMDKNES LIFE AT RISK IS FINE AS A PINISHMENT WHEN THAT PERSON IS AN ASDICT. BUT ITS EVEN WITSE YA ROOK IT BEFORE EVEN TALKIN TO ME!!! YOURE JUSR HOLDIN IT OVER MY HEAD CAUSE YA ZEE NOTHIN WRONG WUTH PURTIMG THE ULTIMATUM ON ME THAT I EITHER KNEEL TOYOR DEMANDS OR DIE!! HOW CAN I MAKE THIS ANY FUCKIN CLEARER TO YOU OR DO YOU JUST NOT CARE? DID YOH EVER?
I do fucking care that's why this hurts so much, do you really think I would defend you against that asshole zombie thinking you're a pet if I didn't think of you as a friend?
*zey say something in zeir native language before zeir eyes glow with zeir flames, zeir emotions being the source of it at the moment*
You can't keep hiding behind your alcohol with every time you do something wrong, I don't blame you for your need of alcohol, what i do blame you for is going behind my back multiple times
*zey start having a coughing fit*
CAN YOU NOT FUCKIN ADMIT WHEN YOU FUCK UP YOURSELF? CAB YA NKT FUCKIN LISTEN FOR A SECOND? IM TELLING YOU WHATS WRONG ABD YOURE FOCUSING ENTIRELY ON WHY YOURE PISSED ST ME! I NEED A DAMN DRINK BECAUSE YOURE NOT FUCJING LISTEMINF!
*he empties the bottle and summons another, drinking again with zero hesitation*
I do admit when I fucked up, I don't know what you fucking want from me other than your alcohol back, I-i can't- I can't do this....
*zey collapse, zeir arm crutches not being able to hold zem up anymore*
I don't want you to die, but I don't know what else to do to have you understand, I do things without always thinking it thru
SO EGY CANT YIU AFMIT IT NOW? WHY DO YA GOTTA ACT LIKE YOURE YHE FUCKIB SAINT HERE ABD IM JUST BETIND REDEMPTION?
*he’s glowing brighter. There are cracks showing in his exoskeleton, forming a brick pattern, along with a cracking sound. He’s beginning to radiate heat as well*

... y-you're... alive...? but... how?
[SWAP-EUCLID doesn't register PARANOID-TRIANGLE's question. Instead, he floats around nervously.]
How... how haven't I noticed? When did this happen? Has it always been like this? This is bad... this is really bad...
... dad? ...
... ... ... why did zey say you're an [CURSE WORD] earlier?
[SWAP-EUCLID pauses at that statement, turning to face his "son".]
...What do you mean? Who said that? You... do you think I'm a bad father? I... did I do something wrong? If there's anything I can do to make this better, I promise I'll do it, I just...
[SWAP-EUCLID thinks for a moment, trying to pinpoint an exact time when he could've done anything wrong. He seems genuinely distraught.]
... i... i don't think you ever did, but...
[He gestures to Mystery.]
...zey said that zey fixed it, but... i don't understand... you're dad...
...I don't understand why zey would call me that either... Zey seemed kind the first time I met zem... I don't understand... But I have been forgetting things lately, so maybe I did something to upset zem? I'm not sure...
... you've been forgetting things...? ... that's not good... but... i guess that explains it...
...I don't understand... Well, zey seem nice... I don't know why I would do something to upset them...
It's best you don't remember that stuff
Also i see ya found your hat
Yes! I did! Thank you for helping me find it!
*zey shrug it off and pull zeir blanket back over zeir head, trying to block out the light*
You still have the makeup on your face
[SWAP-EUCLID blinks.]
...Makeup?
*zey hold up a mirror to him*
[SWAP-EUCLID yelps in fear, clawing at the makeup, trying to get it off as if his life depends on it.]
NONONONONO— R'N HLIIB KZKZ R KILNRHV R WRWM'G NVZM GL— KOVZHV WLM'G SFIG NV—
... dad...? are you okay...?
[SWAP-EUCLID falls to his knees, shaking as he aggressively claws at the makeup.]

[He walks over and tries to grab Euclid's hands.]
... d-dad, please, i... you're scaring me...
[SWAP-EUCLID's hands tense when PARANOID-TRIANGLE grabs them, but he doesn't fight back, as if he's sure that'd make it worse somehow. He squeezes his eye shut, bracing himself for... something.]
I'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorry—
*zey summon some makeup wipes and start cleaning his face off while PT holds his arms down*
[By now, SWAP-EUCLID is on the verge of tears.]
...please don't hurt me... I didn't mean to...
It's just wipes
*zey show him the mirror again, parts of the makeup wiped off now*
[SWAP-EUCLID doesn't look. His eyes are shut tight as he keeps repeating that he "didn't mean to" and to "not hurt him". It seems like he's genuinely terrified.]
*zey poke at him until he opens his eyes to see*
*zey continue wiping the makeup off his face*
[The eye poking doesn't have the desired effect. Instead, SWAP-EUCLID lets out a pain shriek and shields his eyes further.]
NONONONO PLEASE STOP I'M SORRY I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT HAPPENED PLEASE STOP DON'T I PROMISE I WON'T DO IT AGAIN—
*zey are confused because zey weren't even touching his eyes aside from removing the makeup with the wipes*
Keep it down, my head hurts
[SWAP-EUCLID doesn't seem to hear, still shrieking in fear. By now, he's even on the verge of tears.]
*zey summon some noise canceling headphones for zemself and PT*
*zey had finished wiping the makeup off now*
[SWAP-EUCLID stops shrieking when MYSTERY finishes wiping off the makeup, but he's still protecting his eyes with his life. He's started crying.]
...I'm sorry... I don't know how... I can't remember... Please don't hurt me...
*zey take the headphones off once zey notice he's done being loud*
We weren't hurting you....
...Billy wasn't... he's a good kid...I promise I didn't mean to...
...
...Kovzhv wlm'g gzpv nb lgsvi vbvh lfg...
He's safe too
*zey twitch some as zey look and see drunk there*
[SWAP-EUCLID looks at PARANOID-TRIANGLE with a worried expression, then back towards MYSTERY.]
...Please don't take my son's eye out...It works fine, I promise...
Why would I hurt my unofficially adopted kid?
*zey keep zeir eye on @askdrunkbillcipher *
*he turns red, his eye looked like it might start shedding tears*
WHY GHE FUCK ARS WITBED OF YOH IN MY FUCKIN BEERAMID
*he pointed at Mystery*
YOU! I SOECIFIXALLY TOLD THEM TO KEEP YOU OUT.
*he pointed at @euclidean-geometry-supremacy *

IM NOT FUCKIN DEALING WITB GHIS!
*he summons a wall designed to block @paranoidtriangle ‘s vision before dragging 8Ball out of the Beeramid’s ground floor. He then proceeded to violently eviscerate him in front of them both, splattering blood everywhere before disintegrating every part of his body only to reassemble it, leaving him screaming in horrible agony before he rips open his skin, nails it to a board, and shoves him through a wall without leaving a hole and lowering the wall blocking PT’s sight and dragging Pacifire and Pyronica*
IF YOU MOTHERFUCKERS DONNT WANT ME TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE IF UOU TOO TOO, GET THEM TTHE FUCK OUT
NOW
You went behind my back AGAIN and gave him the thing i told you not to give him, he's a kid, he doesn't need alcohol, he's not old enough to be relying this heavily on the stuff, I don't care that you don't want me here, I came to see the kid because I thought he was still at the orphan home when I teleported to him
*zey're also on the verge of tears*
OH SO YA AANT HIM HAVIN A DUCKIN SEIZURE TOO? YA WANNA JUST RAKD AWAY THE ONLY THING YHAT MAKES ANY A THE SHIT EIGHER OF YS DEAL WITH BEARABLE? NESTER IS AT THE FUCKIN KIDS HOME, HES HERE CAUSE THE REASON HES DRINKIN IN THE FURST PLACE, YHE GUY EHO ACTIVELY ABUSES THE KID, ID YHERE. UA WANT HIM BACK THERE??? YA WANG HOM TO KUST SUFFER SEIZE ABD THEN FIE? IS THST WHAT YA ESNT GOR ME TOO? THATS ENY YA FUCKIN STOLR MU BOOZE. I WASNT FUCKIN AROINF WHEN I SAID I WANY UOU HONE. LEAVE. GET OUT. THR ONLY THING I CSN TRIST YOU FIR RIGHT NIE IS KEEPIN TRICKY SAGE ABD THARS IT.
He's not going to seize, he's not-
*zey start tearing up*
I thought we could repair our friendship but you keep going behind my back and doing all this stuff, i didn't know that he was there, how could I have? I can't believe you right now, it's you that can't be trusted with the kid, the continued alcohol at his age will just fuck up his development, excuse me for looking out for his health by not wanting him underage drinking, if he was an adult this wouldn't be an issue, but he's a kid
*zey try to calm zemself, struggling to do so*
I would've left already but then that guy showed up *zey gesture to Euclid*
YEAH MO THIS WENT BEYOND REPAIR EBEN YOU DECIDED STEALIN MY VOOZE WITHOUT EVEN FUCKIN TALKIN TK ME DIRST ABOUT WHAT PISSED YOU OFF WAS A GKKD IDEA. HELL, THE DACT YA SEE NO PRIVLEN WITH STEAKUN IT IN THR FIRST PLACS MAKES ME QUESTION IF WE EVER REALLY WERE FUCKUN FRIENDS LR IF YOU JUST SAW ME AS SOME FUCKED UP PIECE A SHIT. “I DONT JUDGE UOU FKR YOJR ALCOHOLISM” MY ASS, YIURE TREATIN AN ADDICGION LIKE A VICE AND NKT A MEDUCAL CONDITION CAYSED BY A FYCKED UP MULTIVERSE LEAVIN YOU WHTH A FUCKED UP HEAD THAT CANT BE FIXED WITHOUT FUCKIN JT UP FURTHER. IF YOURE SO FUCKIN SKRRIED AVOUY HIM DRINKIN, WHY DONT YA FO SOMETHING ABKUT THE REASON HES DRINKIN IN THE FIRST PLACE? WHY ARENT YA KEELIN NESTER AEAY FFOM HIM? WHY ARENT HA TRYNA TEACH HIM WAYS TO PROTECT HIMSELF? I GAVE HIM A RIOM HERE TO GET HIM ASAY FROM HIM ABD I PLANNED TA TEACH GIM HOW TA USR HIS POWRRS SO HE ISBT DEFENSELESS, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOUNG OTHER THAN TAKIN A COURSE IN ANYI ADDICT ABLEISM?
*he’s summoned booze to try to stop his own feelings, but it spills off his sides as he tries to drink. His body is fighting with itself on what form to take*
You wanna talk about me doing nothing? Is giving him one of my barriers nothing? What about seeking out any form of help to keep him safe? Is that nothing? I admit I haven't been able to keep in touch with him as much as I'd like, and last time I fought Nester over how he was treating the kid i blacked out and ended up with my vocal cords removed and my left leg is still not fully healed! Only reason I have my voice back is because my adopted mom's fiancée gave me something for it, I told you over the phone why I took your alcohol, I can't believe you think so low of me that you would rather think me the monster than to actually listen to what I said was the issue
*tears continue rolling down zeir face, the pregnancy hormones are not helping any*
You keep breaking my trust which is what truly hurts
HOLY FUUUUUUXJ YOU DINT LISTEN. YOU FONT DUXKING LISTEN!!! YOU TOOK IT BEFORE TALKING TO ME. BEFORE. YOU DHOULDNT HAVE FAKEN IT AT ALL. YOUR WORDS DOMT MEAN SHIT WHEN YOUR ACTIONS SAY SOMETHIN ELSE. YOU THINK IDS OKAY TO SYEAL AN ADDICT’S BOOZE WHDB UT COULD KILL HIM. YOU THINK PUYTIN SOMDKNES LIFE AT RISK IS FINE AS A PINISHMENT WHEN THAT PERSON IS AN ASDICT. BUT ITS EVEN WITSE YA ROOK IT BEFORE EVEN TALKIN TO ME!!! YOURE JUSR HOLDIN IT OVER MY HEAD CAUSE YA ZEE NOTHIN WRONG WUTH PURTIMG THE ULTIMATUM ON ME THAT I EITHER KNEEL TOYOR DEMANDS OR DIE!! HOW CAN I MAKE THIS ANY FUCKIN CLEARER TO YOU OR DO YOU JUST NOT CARE? DID YOH EVER?
I do fucking care that's why this hurts so much, do you really think I would defend you against that asshole zombie thinking you're a pet if I didn't think of you as a friend?
*zey say something in zeir native language before zeir eyes glow with zeir flames, zeir emotions being the source of it at the moment*
You can't keep hiding behind your alcohol with every time you do something wrong, I don't blame you for your need of alcohol, what i do blame you for is going behind my back multiple times
*zey start having a coughing fit*
CAN YOU NOT FUCKIN ADMIT WHEN YOU FUCK UP YOURSELF? CAB YA NKT FUCKIN LISTEN FOR A SECOND? IM TELLING YOU WHATS WRONG ABD YOURE FOCUSING ENTIRELY ON WHY YOURE PISSED ST ME! I NEED A DAMN DRINK BECAUSE YOURE NOT FUCJING LISTEMINF!
*he empties the bottle and summons another, drinking again with zero hesitation*
I do admit when I fucked up, I don't know what you fucking want from me other than your alcohol back, I-i can't- I can't do this....
*zey collapse, zeir arm crutches not being able to hold zem up anymore*
I don't want you to die, but I don't know what else to do to have you understand, I do things without always thinking it thru
SO EGY CANT YIU AFMIT IT NOW? WHY DO YA GOTTA ACT LIKE YOURE YHE FUCKIB SAINT HERE ABD IM JUST BETIND REDEMPTION?
*he’s glowing brighter. There are cracks showing in his exoskeleton, forming a brick pattern, along with a cracking sound. He’s beginning to radiate heat as well*
HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED FI HNDERSTAND AJYTHINH FRIM HAVING ALL MY BLOZE STOLEM? WHAT IS IT YA APPARENFLY CABT SAY IN WIRDS THAT IM SUPPOSED TO RESD INTO FROM THIS, OTHER THAN THAT YA THINK LESS A NE FKR GHIS? JUST LIKE NESTER ABD THE FORD WITH THE EHES DO
I-i just did....
*zeir ears fold down*
....or are you too upset right now to have heard me admit fault?
*zey summon another of his bottles from zeir storage portals, staring at it*
I…
*he drank again, just as messy. As soon as the bottle was away from his eye-mouth, he collapsed, his exoskeleton broken open, his inner body glowing and leaking a fluid that smelled like alcohol, except alcohol usually doesn’t glow or shimmer like that*
[SWAP-EUCLID takes in a sharp gasp, quickly covering PARANOID-TRIANGLE's eye.]
@paranoidtriangle
[He squeals.]
... w-what happened? dad? is he okay?
I... I'm not sure? That looks... pretty bad...
i miss my parents :(
Don't worry, Billy! I'm right here! ...No idea where your mother is, though...
... but you look like mama... sound like dad... have dad's name... don't act quite like either but not really unlike either at the same time...
. . .

Wait... I look like your mother but I know I'm your father... so that must mean...
[SWAP-EUCLID gasps in terror.]
Me and your mother swapped bodies!

[SWAP-EUCLID's hands tense when PARANOID-TRIANGLE grabs them, but he doesn't fight back, as if he's sure that'd make it worse somehow. He squeezes his eye shut, bracing himself for... something.]
I'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorry—
*zey summon some makeup wipes and start cleaning his face off while PT holds his arms down*
[By now, SWAP-EUCLID is on the verge of tears.]
...please don't hurt me... I didn't mean to...
It's just wipes
*zey show him the mirror again, parts of the makeup wiped off now*
[SWAP-EUCLID doesn't look. His eyes are shut tight as he keeps repeating that he "didn't mean to" and to "not hurt him". It seems like he's genuinely terrified.]
*zey poke at him until he opens his eyes to see*
*zey continue wiping the makeup off his face*
[The eye poking doesn't have the desired effect. Instead, SWAP-EUCLID lets out a pain shriek and shields his eyes further.]
NONONONO PLEASE STOP I'M SORRY I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT HAPPENED PLEASE STOP DON'T I PROMISE I WON'T DO IT AGAIN—
*zey are confused because zey weren't even touching his eyes aside from removing the makeup with the wipes*
Keep it down, my head hurts
[SWAP-EUCLID doesn't seem to hear, still shrieking in fear. By now, he's even on the verge of tears.]
*zey summon some noise canceling headphones for zemself and PT*
*zey had finished wiping the makeup off now*
[SWAP-EUCLID stops shrieking when MYSTERY finishes wiping off the makeup, but he's still protecting his eyes with his life. He's started crying.]
...I'm sorry... I don't know how... I can't remember... Please don't hurt me...
*zey take the headphones off once zey notice he's done being loud*
We weren't hurting you....
...Billy wasn't... he's a good kid...I promise I didn't mean to...
...
...Kovzhv wlm'g gzpv nb lgsvi vbvh lfg...
He's safe too
*zey twitch some as zey look and see drunk there*
[SWAP-EUCLID looks at PARANOID-TRIANGLE with a worried expression, then back towards MYSTERY.]
...Please don't take my son's eye out...It works fine, I promise...
Why would I hurt my unofficially adopted kid?
*zey keep zeir eye on @askdrunkbillcipher *
*he turns red, his eye looked like it might start shedding tears*
WHY GHE FUCK ARS WITBED OF YOH IN MY FUCKIN BEERAMID
*he pointed at Mystery*
YOU! I SOECIFIXALLY TOLD THEM TO KEEP YOU OUT.
*he pointed at @euclidean-geometry-supremacy *

IM NOT FUCKIN DEALING WITB GHIS!
*he summons a wall designed to block @paranoidtriangle ‘s vision before dragging 8Ball out of the Beeramid’s ground floor. He then proceeded to violently eviscerate him in front of them both, splattering blood everywhere before disintegrating every part of his body only to reassemble it, leaving him screaming in horrible agony before he rips open his skin, nails it to a board, and shoves him through a wall without leaving a hole and lowering the wall blocking PT’s sight and dragging Pacifire and Pyronica*
IF YOU MOTHERFUCKERS DONNT WANT ME TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE IF UOU TOO TOO, GET THEM TTHE FUCK OUT
NOW
You went behind my back AGAIN and gave him the thing i told you not to give him, he's a kid, he doesn't need alcohol, he's not old enough to be relying this heavily on the stuff, I don't care that you don't want me here, I came to see the kid because I thought he was still at the orphan home when I teleported to him
*zey're also on the verge of tears*
OH SO YA AANT HIM HAVIN A DUCKIN SEIZURE TOO? YA WANNA JUST RAKD AWAY THE ONLY THING YHAT MAKES ANY A THE SHIT EIGHER OF YS DEAL WITH BEARABLE?

He's not going to seize, he's not-
*zey start tearing up*
I thought we could repair our friendship but you keep going behind my back and doing all this stuff, i didn't know that he was there, how could I have? I can't believe you right now, it's you that can't be trusted with the kid, the continued alcohol at his age will just fuck up his development, excuse me for looking out for his health by not wanting him underage drinking, if he was an adult this wouldn't be an issue, but he's a kid
*zey try to calm zemself, struggling to do so*
I would've left already but then that guy showed up *zey gesture to Euclid*

*he’s summoned booze to try to stop his own feelings, but it spills off his sides as he tries to drink. His body is fighting with itself on what form to take*
[SWAP-EUCLID stands there, confused and slightly concerned, still holding the tub of cookie dough ice cream.]
i miss my parents :(
Don't worry, Billy! I'm right here! ...No idea where your mother is, though...
... but you look like mama... sound like dad... have dad's name... don't act quite like either but not really unlike either at the same time...
. . .
... i'm not sure what to think of it...
Wait... I look like your mother but I know I'm your father... so that must mean...
[SWAP-EUCLID gasps in terror.]
Me and your mother swapped bodies!
... ... ... you mean...
[He starts tearing up.]
... y-you're... alive...? but... how?
[SWAP-EUCLID doesn't register PARANOID-TRIANGLE's question. Instead, he floats around nervously.]
How... how haven't I noticed? When did this happen? Has it always been like this? This is bad... this is really bad...
... dad? ...
... ... ... why did zey say you're an [CURSE WORD] earlier?
[SWAP-EUCLID pauses at that statement, turning to face his "son".]
...What do you mean? Who said that? You... do you think I'm a bad father? I... did I do something wrong? If there's anything I can do to make this better, I promise I'll do it, I just...
[SWAP-EUCLID thinks for a moment, trying to pinpoint an exact time when he could've done anything wrong. He seems genuinely distraught.]
... i... i don't think you ever did, but...
[He gestures to Mystery.]
...zey said that zey fixed it, but... i don't understand... you're dad...
...I don't understand why zey would call me that either... Zey seemed kind the first time I met zem... I don't understand... But I have been forgetting things lately, so maybe I did something to upset zem? I'm not sure...
... you've been forgetting things...? ... that's not good... but... i guess that explains it...
...I don't understand... Well, zey seem nice... I don't know why I would do something to upset them...
It's best you don't remember that stuff
Also i see ya found your hat
Yes! I did! Thank you for helping me find it!
*zey shrug it off and pull zeir blanket back over zeir head, trying to block out the light*
You still have the makeup on your face
[SWAP-EUCLID blinks.]
...Makeup?
*zey hold up a mirror to him*
[SWAP-EUCLID yelps in fear, clawing at the makeup, trying to get it off as if his life depends on it.]
NONONONONO— R'N HLIIB KZKZ R KILNRHV R WRWM'G NVZM GL— KOVZHV WLM'G SFIG NV—

[SWAP-EUCLID looks at DRUNK-BILL blankly, before eye-smiling. He tips his hat politely.]
Oh! You must be the kind fellow who's letting my son stay with him to get away from the asshole who ripped his eye out! It's a pleasure to finally meet you! Although, apologies, I am stuck in my wife's body at the moment, so... I don't usually look like this. Who might you be, my good man? Care for some ice cream?
[SWAP-EUCLID pulls a ginormous tub of cookie dough ice cream out of his hat before holding it out to DRUNK-BILL.]

He's not your son from your universe, there's no papers involved but I consider him one of my kids
Officially adopted would include the paperwork
*zey continue looking at where drunk is as zey speak*
I wasn't taking your eyes, I was removing the makeup since you were having an anxiety attack over it
...Look, I thought you were a kind individual when I met you, but now I'm questioning my judgement considering you're trying to tell me that my son isn't actually my son. You don't think I know what my own son looks like? The "unofficially adopted" thing would've been okay on its own, but now that you're trying to claim he's not my son...
[SWAP-EUCLID pushes himself to his feet, still eyeing MYSTERY with suspicion.]
...I don't think it'd be wise to leave him alone with you.
