Corpus Callosum Chapter Five: Percolate and Steep

One sapphic coffee shop AU plotline coming up! This chapter is mostly Abstragedy getting to meet IRL yaaaay TW for some emotional abuse/coercion (for a different plot point, not Abstragedy-related). Art of the cast's human selves made by my sister @ noodlebedoodle on Instagram!

Summary: Stuck in a dead-end job and a loveless relationship, Christine Reyes (Pomni) desperately needs a change of pace. Beta-testing a therapeutic video game that promises solace from her everyday seems like just the new experience she's been hoping for.

Only something isn't quite right about The Amazing Digital Circus. Player input is too frequently ignored. The AI running the system keeps breaking down and being overwritten. Glitches and corrupted code seem to follow her even without the headset on.

Underneath the shiny veneer of each adventure lies a secret so damning, it could cost the six testers their sanity. Just what the hell are they all really testing here?

Modern human/video game tester!AU.

Chronic fatigue be like:

- wake up feeling slightly more rested than the previous days

- be happy about it

- get up and do one (1) basic task

- oh no, where's the energy gone?

My personal rule for a good ship is that you must be able to imagine them interacting in a non-romantic context for it to work. If you cannot do this without them proclaiming their love for each other or falling into stereotypical romantic interactions then it is, to me, fail

Hi there, some kind of a serious talk. If you seeing this you probably already follow me but i'll intruduce me properly: Hi I'm Coffeez! I'm an autistic brazilian artist and I'm..... unemployed lol

Because of my neurodivergency and lack of socials skills, i find really dificult to find a job on my country and the only way to help in home is with the only thing i'm kinda good with: my art! So, this year my family got into debt and again, being unemployed I'm at a dead end and can't help as much as I'd like.

If my work here or on YT interesset and you would like to support me in any way feel free to buy me a coffee or check my VGen profile!
