The vwizard is in

Your name is Cronus Ampora, and though the game ended in success, it's only the beginning. Finding your reward to be a strange, seemingly uninhabited planet of ruins, the question remains: What will you do now? (Post-game, alive, from Beforus Won AU, 10 sweeps old Never died, so never went through the greaser phase)

[oceanicscholar-deactivated20141]

After much deliberati9n...

I have decided that I have en9ugh c9ntr9l 9f my impulses t9 leave the hive with9ut having a panic attack again.

Get ovwer here ya giant, I thought something happened to you after all this time

>You stalk over and hug him tightly

[rexangelusmakara-deactivated201]

» You let him hug you, and let your public face drop. The smile you were wearing gone, you look over the Cronus of your timeline.

Damara is missing. But Mituna has returned.

[optimisticenchanter]

...Howv are you holding up?

[optimisticenchanter]

>> Appear.

Hell9, Cr9nus.

[optimisticenchanter]

Hey, babe. Vwhat do you vwant to do today?

[oceanicscholar-deactivated20141]

I was trying t9 c99k 6ef9re y9u picked me up.

» Whatever is in that pot does not look or smell edible. Kankri’s meticulous nature has clearly failed him.

[optimisticenchanter]

>Stare at the pot

>Be reluctant to shoot down his attempts

[oceanicscholar-deactivated20141]

Vwell, you do, Kan. Gotta take care of yourself

>Or you can just take care of him

[optimisticenchanter]

hey there, howv's life?

[rexangelusmakara-deactivated201]

Kurloz: Be Frightened

[optimisticenchanter]

>You pick him up

I’m going to take care of your injuries, too. It’s okay to cry if you’re upset, I knowv you don’t knowv this place and that can be scary

[rexangelusmakara-deactivated201]

» You’re scared.

» You cry and whisper quietly.

Who are you?

[optimisticenchanter]

My name's Cronus, and you're safe here, I promise

[rexangelusmakara-deactivated201]

And Beforus Won

This is Haven. A new, wild world. Having won the game, the players in the Beforan session of Sgrub…

-The Beforus Won Timeline-

This is a timeline where circumstances before the game were played changed in such a way that the game became sabotaged and thus winable. No dead characters revive here, and no humans exist, but Beforus is gone forever and the twelve trolls who are left have reached Beforus as their prize for winning the game.

They have set up their home in the mountains at the far side of the Jungle, two perigee’s journey by foot away from the Main Timeline’s reset center. Their settlement is built into an abandoned castle and a set of caverns, and it houses one of the two viable mothergrubs of Haven.

Kurloz is the guardian of the settlement by default, having proven himself fairly useless at everything from gathering materials, to hunting with Meulin, to organizing the troops. It’s his job, instead, to make sure nothing destroys the settlement.

The Beforus Won Timeline was discovered to exist on Haven when Kurloz went to investigate The Condesce’s Arrival on Haven.

Currently, we have Meulin and Meenah as high priority characters. Applications for all characters are welcome.

Kurloz: Be Frightened

[optimisticenchanter]

>You crouch and pat his hair

Let’s get you cleaned up and into some fresh clothes, okay?

[rexangelusmakara-deactivated201]

» You stare at the seatroll. He reminds you of someone, you think. But older. He’s not full grown either. Who is this?

» Tears gather in your eyes. You want to scream but you’re terrified of making that horrible sound again.

» It’s all you can do to nod.

[optimisticenchanter]

>You pick him up

I'm going to take care of your injuries, too. It's okay to cry if you're upset, I knowv you don't knowv this place and that can be scary

[oceanicscholar-deactivated20141]

Aaaaaaaah...

…9kay, I’m awake again.

That was a nice rest…

I sh9uld pr96a6ly 6e m9re careful n9t t9 hyper f9cus.

Kurloz: Be Frightened

[optimisticenchanter]

>You don’t remember there being any wrigglers in town. Or anyone new for that matter. Getting close, though, you recognize the child. 

…Kurloz?

[rexangelusmakara-deactivated201]

» Your head flies up at the unfamiliar voice, and you try to school your face back into the usual cheerful grin you tend to wear. No one should see your weakness, ever. …But you fail. You’re too covered in self-inflicted injuries and smeared greasepaint to be convincing.

» You’re still shaken too badly as well.

[optimisticenchanter]

>You crouch and pat his hair

Let's get you cleaned up and into some fresh clothes, okay?

[rexangelusmakara-deactivated201]

Kurloz: Be Frightened

» You don’t know where you were. The last thing you remember is going hive after accidentally harming your Matesprit. You brought her to the hospitroll and they shooed you away. And so you had returned home…

» You’re bruised, clawed up. You remember flying into a rage and destroying your shrine, your artifacts, trying to get rid of the skeletal tattoos that mark you as a member of the church. You failed.

» And now you’re… sitting in a clearing, in the daylight, not burning and with no clue what’s happening. You quietly sob and scrub at your smeared face, just wanting your lusus. Or your coon. You need to sort out all that happened, and how close you came to making things worse…

[optimisticenchanter]

>You don't remember there being any wrigglers in town. Or anyone new for that matter. Getting close, though, you recognize the child.

[optimisticenchanter]

Vwell, if you're in the bubbles, that's not really a typical afterlife. Surely that indicates some remaining purpose?
