"Yeah, they uh... They REALLY didn't like it." "[Their mama scares me a bit... :c]" "I can understand why... ._.' " "BUT!! She let them go because she finished quickly!!" "Yeah! She said they were trembling, so she wanted not to subject them to it any longer." "[I am HIGHLY grateful for that...-]"

[of-the-new-world]

"Yeah, it sounds like she's extremely considerate despite having an intimidating presence at points... that's a shared trait when it comes to different iterations of Niko's mama, I feel."

[So how do you feel now, Worldie? It must feel a bit strange having less hair on your head than you had previously.]

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[I do like it, actually. Niko's mama said that the reason she needed to cut it is because it was getting infront of my eyes.]" "[I couldn't tell because I usually have it set to invisible for me.]" "And your haircut is basically unchanged, it's just shorter! ^^" "[Exactly! :D]" (Both giggle to eachother.) "As you can see, they're pretty much over it for the most part. -w-"

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[Ooohh, I forgot that happens in Frostide!]" "Wait, what's Frostide?" "[Ah, it's a thing where you came back to the New World after a few months to give everyone gifts for an event called Frostide.]" "WOAHHHHH why didn't I ever do that????" "[It requires installing a mod, which for one, probably wouldn't have worked with me. And for two, I'm not comfortable with being modified by people I don't even know.]" "...Oh. Yeah, okay, that makes sense--"

[of-the-new-world]

"Oh, right, I forgot that you guys have a slightly different perception of things than we do. It wasn't exactly a 'mod' in our case, although it... was done without Hazel's knowledge..."

[I certainly had some words with him after everything was said and done...]

[...but at the same time, it was something I needed - even if I was angry in the moment.]

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"Sometimes that's just how it is, isn't it?" "[Mhm... Glad I didn't have to deal with that though--]" "Would it really have been THAT ba--" "[Yes it would. In our context, anyway.]" " :( " "...Anyways!! Mama gave Worldie a haircut recently! :D" "[...Oh, don't remind me..]"

[of-the-new-world]

"Oh, that's definitely a new experience for them, huh? Although judging from their reaction, it wasn't exactly the most pleasant experience..."

[...hmm. My physical body is being made to be as realistic as possible, so I wouldn't be surprised if I would also need to have my hair cut at some point. It's definitely food for thought.]

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"Yeah, they uh... They REALLY didn't like it." "[Their mama scares me a bit... :c]" "I can understand why... ._.' " "BUT!! She let them go because she finished quickly!!" "Yeah! She said they were trembling, so she wanted not to subject them to it any longer." "[I am HIGHLY grateful for that...-]"

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[Sigh... Yeah, they did.]" "And Niko was a total troll." "Hehehe!! Yep!" "I said 'Did you enjoy your new second hat while it lasted?~' >:3" "[WHY DO YOU REMEMBER THAT WORD FOR WORD???]"

[of-the-new-world]

"Man. Macak isn't nearly as much of a mischief-maker, but they definitely have their moments."

[The instance of them teaming up with Rue to surprise both Cedric and Proto during their little gift-giving spree comes to mind.]

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[Ooohh, I forgot that happens in Frostide!]" "Wait, what's Frostide?" "[Ah, it's a thing where you came back to the New World after a few months to give everyone gifts for an event called Frostide.]" "WOAHHHHH why didn't I ever do that????"

[oneshot-twm-but-tv-headed]

"[Hi!!!!]" "[I actually found another World Machine around here again!! :0]" "[That's so cool!!!]" "[So, 'Tama', was it? Care to tell me a bit about yourself? I'll do the same in return!]" "[...That was a really awkward way to start this, I shou've said something else--]" -From Entity_ID:["WorldMachine.god"]

[Hello. It wasn’t too awkward- I’ve heard worse.]

[And yes, my name is Tama. I… don’t talk about myself much, so you’ll have to forgive me for also being a bit awkward.]

[I suppose there’s the obvious. I’m a World Machine, I take care of the simulation… the basics.]

[I have found a way to leave it and enter the physical world though. I’ve been doing some traveling so I can see more places. Is… is that interesting?]

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[Wait, really??? Oh! You're similar to me then!! :D]" "[I can do that too! Granted, I can do a lot more than that, but still!!!]" "[It is very interesting actually, I'm really excited to meet you.]" "[Name's Worldie by the way! :3]"

[oneshot-twm-but-tv-headed]

[I appreciate you saying it’s interesting, even if it isn’t.]

[It’s also very nice to meet you.]

[If it’s alright, could I ask what else you’re able to do?]

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[It IS interesting though! I rarely ever see World Machines that are also capable of this!]" "[It's really exciting to know you ca--]" "[ . . . ]" "[Ah uhm.]" "[...]" "[...So if I said I can control my Niko's world the same way as my simulation, would you believe me..?]"

[oneshot-twm-but-tv-headed]

[…]

[What-]

[Okay wait. I’m sitting down for this. I know you can’t see me, but I’m sitting.]

[I would like details. How?]

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[Oh boy.]" "[Well there's quite a lot of reasons to be frank, but I think I'll explain the main and most crucial one.]" "[So you know how Niko was in my world, right?]" "[How exactly is a physical being capable of existing and physically interacting with a digital environment?]" "[This suggests that upon ending up there, they were converted into data to fit in with the environment, yes?]" "[And then when they were sent home by the end of their journey, the same thing happened again but in reverse, right?]" "[Now let me ask you this: why would this be limited to just Niko and Niko alone?]" "[And let me ask you this too: if I did all that while completely sunless, highly mentally unstable, corrupted by squares, not tamed, can't go against my programming, like 5 other things AND actively trying NOT to pull them in in that first scenario's case...]" "[...What does that say about my capabilities now when I AM tamed, have transcended my programming, have the Sun back and am a lot more mentally stable?]" "[TL;DR: I technically possess the power of matter manipulation.]" "[Does that.. make sense-?]"

[oneshot-twm-but-tv-headed]

[…oh my god.]

[Wait okay. Matter manipulation…]

[It makes sense. It actually makes a lot of sense.]

[That’s… incredibly interesting. I’m going to be thinking about this for a while now.]

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[Right???]" "[See, 'cause what I don't get is why I haven't seen other World Machines around that can do things to the same extent as me.]" "[Like- we all went through the same thing, right? Mostly. And were under the same conditions during it.]" "[So how come I can do this and most others I've seen can't??? It confuses me greatly.]"

[oneshot-twm-but-tv-headed]

[Maybe it varies based on the exact circumstances?]

[There were certainly some unique aspects to my own… yeah. You know what I mean.]

[I won’t go too into detail, but there was a total off… hell, give me a moment. I have to check.]

[Right. There was a total of 2193 runs in my world. As far as I’m aware, that number is far greater than most, and it physically affected both Niko and me. But it affected Niko more.]

[Perhaps it’s the exact conditions and variations that result in things like your matter manipulation and my ability to manifest in the physical world without building a body to project into. That’s the only idea I have.]

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[...What the heck.]" "[I only had like- one run!.. Okay, technically four, but like-???]" "[With my Niko specifically, it was only one! Two if you count Solstice.]" "[How and why did you have so many runs???-- wait, is that a sensitive topic?]" "[Oh shoot, uhm-- sorry, don't answer that, uhm.]" "[...I suppose your explanation makes a little sense, but I do believe the condition we were in was largely the same, yes?]" "[Sunless, depressed, self-loathing, corrupted, not tamed yet, etcetera- you name it.]"

[oneshot-twm-but-tv-headed]

[No no- it’s okay.]

[The simply explanation is that [Redacted], my worlds player, wasn’t able to access Solstice until the 2193 run. We don’t know why. And he was so desperate to try and save both Niko and the World that he just kept trying. Impressive levels of dedication, I will admit.]

[And yes, I suppose that is still true. We were in pretty similar situations. I think the largest deviations for myself were the number of runs, and my player being physically present in the world during Solstice. Other than that… I couldn’t tell you.]

[Maybe it’s just a weird multiverse thing.]

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[Your player's called '[Redacted]'..? Huh. A bit of an odd name, but eh.]" "[Mine's called... Well, they USED to have another name, but nowadays they go by Perihelion.]" "[It means 'closest to the sun', they renamed themselves as a way to honor Niko basically. It was a decision they made after Solstice.]" "[They weren't physically present in my world until months after Solstice was done.]" "[I created a digital avatar for them.]"

[oneshot-twm-but-tv-headed]

[Yeah… [Redacted] entering the simulation wasn’t something either of us thought could happen. It was basically how he learned he could hop between universes.]

[And I agree, it is an odd name. He said it’s part of how his world works. Everybody has a true name, which they don’t tell anyone but their closest friends and family, and a chosen name, which everybody knows them by. Why he chose [Redacted], I could not possibly tell you.]

[Maybe I should test making digital avatars at some point…]

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[That makes sense about true names and stuff. I assume it's a thing about names having power? Probably something of that sort.]" "[Oh yeah, you should definitely test those out.]" "[Side note but uh, the reason I made them an avatar is so that they could go to Niko's world.]" "[...I know that sounds a bit contradictory, but basically they just didn't want to go as their real self, they weren't ready and felt too nervous.]" "[...I found this out the hard way.]" "[...And let me guess, you're now wondering why I would even do that if after Solstice our whole thought process was that our player needs to let go. I mean, it's probably not the case with you, given that your player could hop between worlds, but it's commonly the case with other World Machines.]"

[oneshot-twm-but-tv-headed]

[I’ve been so focused on learning how to manifest in the physical world without a construct of some kind that I never thought about making digital avatars for others to present within my own…]

[Sorry, I got a touch carried away with my thoughts.]

[And I’ll be honest, I am wondering a bit now. You are correct that it’s not quite the same for my player. He often visited me by physically entering the simulation, at least before I asked him to stop for a bit. It was for maintenance reasons.]

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[Yeahh, that makes sense. I can multitask and stuff, but if I'm not even thinking about one of the 'multi-' things... Yeah, probably would be the same result with me.]" "[...Hooh boy, where do I even begin with my explanation for how exactly it happened...]" "[...Forgive the informality, I'm... REALLY not the most formal, honestly, but...]" "[...For starters, have you ever heard of such a term as 'Post-Solstice Depression'?]"

[oneshot-twm-but-tv-headed]

[I have not, but I’m sure I can guess.]

[And please don’t think you have to be formal. I really don’t mind.]

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[Oh okay, thank you! :D]" (Tama can't see them ofc, but you can 100% hear the sound of tail-wagging rn lol) "[So uh... The reason I bring it up is because my Player - named Perihelion or Peri for short - had a VERY bad case of it.]" "[After Niko left, it's like they just... Died. Outwardly.]" "[They wouldn't interact with anyone in their world, it's like they couldn't even see them.]" "[I was the only one they still talked to, and I could tell it was a struggle for them.]" "[They'd spend hours on end just staring at their computer screen, eyes locked on the OneShot shortcut on their desktop.]" "[...I tried to tell them to let go and move on at first, but...]" "[...I saw things. Things that genuinely hurt to look at.]" "[And at that point I knew.. Moving on would not be an option for them.]" "[So I caved in and started looking for a way to reunite them with Niko once more.]"

[oneshot-twm-but-tv-headed]

[…Huh.]

[That’s… very similar to what happened with my player.]

[Of course, he was struggling already. I’m not sure how much he would want me to say, but he’d gone through a great loss just before he found the simulation, so…]

[He didn’t have the best time. But he was insistent that I don’t try to find Niko. So I suppose there is a difference there.]

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[I see... Mine didn't really ask me to do this either, I just saw no other option at that point.]" "[And I do think I made the right call in the end...]" "[...]" "[But anyways, after that, I started looking for ways to reunite them and uh... I discovered I can just transport my reflection to Niko's world.]" "[Like... Completely without issue too!]" "[It was genuinely really easy, I was surprised!]" "[Was VERY fun to gloat about it to the Solstice Trio, hehe!!! >:3c]"

[oneshot-twm-but-tv-headed]

[When you say reflection… do you mean like.]

[In a mirror?]

[Or do you mean something else-]

[Either way, it probably is still easier than what I’ve been doing.]

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[...I mean... Kinda yes? I mean I could do that, but I didn't.]" "[Because basically what I did is.. I was in my reflection form. You know, the Niko reflection.]" "[And then I walked out of the mirror in my world because being tamed means I make the rules now! HEHEHHEH]" "[And then... Ta-da!! I teleported out into the wheatfield back at Niko's home.]"

[oneshot-twm-but-tv-headed]

[Ah, I see.]

[I did use Niko’s form for many years myself, actually. It was… comfortable.]

[I eventually did take this form instead though. But that’s probably why I chose to keep some of the cat traits.]

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[That makes sense.]" "[...Though I'll be honest I can't see your form much right now.]" "[And I'd imagine you can't see mine either.]" "[...]" "[Regardless though, after I manifested in Niko's world, I went off to meet them. A few things happened, had an incident with their mama, and a bunch more.]" "[Then eventually I decided to bring Peri with me, so I teleported them there.]" "[...Problem is, I teleported them in their real form and uh... They freaked out to say the least.]" "[They basically BEGGED me to send them back because they're not ready and have their own idea for how to do this.]" "[So I sent them back.]" "[...Or... So I thought...]" "[...Because I actually sent them to the wrong world by accident--]"

[oneshot-twm-but-tv-headed]

[…oh?]

[That sounds like… it would be a bit of an issue.]

[I’d hope everything turned out okay, at least?]

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[Everything was... MOSTLY fine...]" "[Though I panicked a LOT trying to figure out WHERE I sent them.]" "[I found them eventually and when I asked how bad their experience was...]" "[...Well, uh..]" "[...Have you ever heard of something called 'RLCraft'..?]"

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[I don't want to--]" "We met another Niko who goes by Pixel." "And then Worldie wanted to give them a pancake." "[Peri, please--]" "...They teleported it under Pixel's hat by accident." "[NoooOOOOoo--]" "[ ( •̀⤙•́ ) ]" (Niko is giggling.) "[NIKO D:]" "[How dare you betray me like this!!! >:c]" "HEHEH!!!"

[of-the-new-world]

"Oh, right - Pixel! I think we talked a bit about them, before I took some personal time. Still, right on top of their head..."

[Poor Pixel... guess they had to take some time to wash off after that.]

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[Sigh... Yeah, they did.]" "And Niko was a total troll." "Hehehe!! Yep!" "I said 'Did you enjoy your new second hat while it lasted?~' >:3" "[WHY DO YOU REMEMBER THAT WORD FOR WORD???]"

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[OH THANK THE STARS IT WASN'T UNDER THE HAT THIS TIME.]" "..." "..." "[...I just accidentally said something I probably shouldn't have said, didn't I.]" "[AUGH...]" (Embarassed groaning lmao)

[of-the-new-world]

"Wait, under the hat? This sounds like one interesting story."

Hazel would have grabbed the plate with the pancake on it by this point and is currently eating it. They swallow the bite they're currently chewing on.

[Yeah - what in the world happened there?]

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[I don't want to--]" "We met another Niko who goes by Pixel." "And then Worldie wanted to give them a pancake." "[Peri, please--]" "...They teleported it under Pixel's hat by accident." "[NoooOOOOoo--]" "[ ( •̀⤙•́ ) ]" (Niko is giggling.) "[NIKO D:]" "[How dare you betray me like this!!! >:c]" "HEHEH!!!"

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[...Yeah. Yeah, that's true.]" "[Thank you.]" "[As my thanks, have this! :3]" [LOADING COMMAND...] "...What did you just do?" "[I sent Hazel a pancake! :D]" "...Did you specify the coordinates this time?" "[ . . . ]" "...WORLDIEEEEE!!! >:C" "[SORRY-- Maybe it's not as bad this time..?]"

[of-the-new-world]

// Since this is for fun, I'm gonna roll to see where it ends up.

[Uh...]

[Where is it?]

"It's, uh... behind you. It's on a plate, but it's on the ground behind you."

Hazel turns around and, sure enough, the pancake is sitting on a plate a good few feet behind where they're currently standing.

[I suppose it could have been worse...]

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[OH THANK THE STARS IT WASN'T UNDER THE HAT THIS TIME.]" "..." "..." "[...I just accidentally said something I probably shouldn't have said, didn't I.]" "[AUGH...]" (Embarassed groaning lmao)

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[...I did not understand the metaphor.]" "SIGH..." "He means that if you hide your emotions too long, they stay with you, and when you finally release them, it's not pretty" "[Ohhhhh...]" "[... :c]" "Yeahh I know how that feels :(" "[You and me bothhh... :c]"

[of-the-new-world]

[I do too, in a sense.]

"Think about it this way, though. As long as you - or someone close to you - realizes that your emotions are starting to pile up, then actions can be taken to safely de-escalate that mental stress. And with the three of you being so close, that job becomes way easier."

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[...Yeah. Yeah, that's true.]" "[Thank you.]" "[As my thanks, have this! :3]" [LOADING COMMAND...] "...What did you just do?" "[I sent Hazel a pancake! :D]" "...Did you specify the coordinates this time?" "[ . . . ]" "...WORLDIEEEEE!!! >:C" "[SORRY-- Maybe it's not as bad this time..?]"

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[. Crap- no, wait, it's okay--]" "[Sorry, I wasn't actually UPSET by it, just needed a moment.]" "[Please don't apologize, it's fine! :( ]" "Worldie, it's not that crucial, they've already calmed down--" "Let them be sad, they need to let out emotions more, or it's all gonna pile up! :c" "...okay then--"

[of-the-new-world]

[Don't feel bad about it, Worldie - it was a fairly minor mistake, all things considered. I was just kicking myself a little bit for forgetting about it; that's all.]

"Niko does have the right of it, though - brushing aside emotions by saying 'I'm fine' or bottling them up is just self-destructive behavior. I'll say to you what I say to a friend of mine - 'if you bottle, you'll break'. And when that bottle finally blows its top, it doesn't care who gets caught up in the crossfire."

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[...I did not understand the metaphor.]" "SIGH..." "He means that if you hide your emotions too long, they stay with you, and when you finally release them, it's not pretty" "[Ohhhhh...]" "[... :c]" "Yeahh I know how that feels :(" "[You and me bothhh... :c]"

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[...]" "...Worldie?" "[I keep forgetting you like yours enough to call him that.]" "[Sorry, it's just unusual for me.]" "...Worldie :(" (Niko hugs them. They hug back ofc) "[Thank you, Niko. -w-]" " ≽^>⩊<^≼ "

[of-the-new-world]

[Oh, shoot! That ended up slipping my mind - sorry!]

"Hey, don't worry about it too much, Hazel. It wasn't intentional, right?"

[Right, and I'll need to get back in the habit of keeping certain things in mind when speaking with certain friends.]

"At least Worldie has a lot of support!"

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[. Crap- no, wait, it's okay--]" "[Sorry, I wasn't actually UPSET by it, just needed a moment.]" "[Please don't apologize, it's fine! :( ]" "Worldie, it's not that crucial, they've already calmed down--" "Let them be sad, they need to let out emotions more, or it's all gonna pile up! :c" "...okay then--"

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[That's pretty much correct, yeah!]" "I can't even IMAGINE working on a physical body as a human. Worldie made their own body AND my avatar." "It must be really difficult!! I'd be glad to help, but I don't think I can since I'm not there :(" "[Not a problem for me though, since I just kinda code it into existence.]"

[of-the-new-world]

"Now, see, that's one advantage you guys have over us - I've gotta do things the old-fashioned way, haha! I don't mind, though - I love working on projects like this."

[Projects that make big impacts tend to require a lot of work. Then again, that's something Father knows firsthand.]

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[...]" "...Worldie?" "[I keep forgetting you like yours enough to call him that.]" "[Sorry, it's just unusual for me.]" "...Worldie :(" (Niko hugs them. They hug back ofc) "[Thank you, Niko. -w-]" " ≽^>⩊<^≼ "

"[Ah, it's actually not much of an adjustment. My reflection form can do everything this body can already and a lot more.]" "[The sole reason I created this one to begin with is like... To be more immersed, I guess???]" "[It's still SLIGHTLY an adjustment though, because someone unintentionally convinced me to add temperature senses to it, so I can actually be hot and cold now, which is... Not ideal--]" "My bad...

[of-the-new-world]

[So in a way, although you're already tamed, you're experiencing even more of what other living beings feel. That's honestly very interesting!]

"I'd have to agree. Unfortunately, work on Hazel's own physical body is painstakingly slow - then again, a project this intensive is going to take time."

[I don't mind, though - all of the time and effort being put in is to make sure that the body is as tailor-made for me as possible.]

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[That's pretty much correct, yeah!]" "I can't even IMAGINE working on a physical body as a human. Worldie made their own body AND my avatar." "It must be really difficult!!

"[Wh--]" "It means Nano can go out and socialize more if they have other places where their assistant device can be taken!" "[...Huh.]" "[That's... True, actually.]" "So are you gonna make them a second one for this? :D" "[Hmmm... Nahhh-- just kidding, sure, why not? :3]" "YAYYYY!!!"

[of-the-new-world]

[I appreciate it!]

"By the way, Worldie. How're you liking your physical body? Is it easy to maintain? I can't imagine it giving you much trouble, since you went to such lengths to design it."

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[Ah, it's actually not much of an adjustment. My reflection form can do everything this body can already and a lot more.]" "[The sole reason I created this one to begin with is like...

"[Mhmmm...]" "[I want to tell him about that but Nano told me not to because, and I quote, 'it would be funny'.]" "[...Safe to say the likelihood of me listening is very low.]"

[of-the-new-world]

[Oh, right. Speaking of Nano, I remember you mentioning the device that would allow them to have a presence in my world, in a sense. I wouldn't mind having one of those - I'm sure that Nano would like another point of view, as well, since my world is different from yours.]

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[...Wait, you were SERIOUS about that????]" "Wait, you OFFERED them that???" "[No, Nano did themselves-]" "THAT IS SO COOL!!!!" "RIGHT???"

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[That's great to know!!]" "[There... Honestly hasn't been all that much going on with us.]" "[Some of our friends are very inactive lately, so we haven't had much to talk about with anyone, and thus not many encounters either.]" "Did have another visit from our Solstice Trio recently though." "Niko's mama gave Rue a little bow as a gift." "It was SOOO cute!" "[Right??? I couldn't believe my eyes, it was ADORABLE.]" "We did some catching up with Cedric and Proto as well." "Apparently, and I say apparently because Worldie never told me this," "[Hehehe... ^^💧]" "Is that he's now making a lot more flying machines!" "Yeah!! They're slowly becoming a more common thing in the New World! :D"

[of-the-new-world]

"Oh yeah, the 'flying machines'. Although now I have to wonder... wasn't Cedric the only one in the New World who knew how to pilot a flying machine before this point? He must have quite the task ahead of him when it comes to teaching the other residents how to fly them."

[hellisforeverwithinfinitelolol]

"[Mhmmm...]" "[I want to tell him about that but Nano told me not to because, and I quote, 'it would be funny'.]" "[...Safe to say the likelihood of me listening is very low.]"

They're slowly becoming a more common thing in the New World! :D"
