JAMES // SMG3

SMG4 Corrupted Files AU

[snitchcafe]

" Hey. Welcome Back.

It's been a while since I've seen you. "

📞 | New Voice Mail ! 9:23am

" Hey, it's James. Uhh... You may have not heard of me before, but I work at your local café. You know, the guy that owns the twitch channel, PoggieKing3? ... No? Hm. Okay. Whatever... Come by and visit Quiet Haven sometime, we've got the coffee of your dreams, and plenty of snacks to help you get through the day. Ugh...Okay...I hate this. See you soon—if you ever come by. Bye. "

📞 | UNIVERSE INFORMATION

📞 | Voice Mail ! 10:00am

This is an AU created by both I and Mod4 [albeit, I am more of a co-creator]. It takes place after WOTFI 2025 [and SMG4: The End] a few years later, specifically when the crew is completely split up. They all start new lives, losing contact with each other and becoming new people. Unexpectedly, something happens for the crew to be put back together, and now attempting to escape the showgrounds.

James in particular, separates and loses his café, but still manages to get another job located at one, being one of the best baristas for the café due to his prior experience...that of which, is a fuzzy memory to him. He can't exactly remember his years at the showgrounds, being mostly separated from his meme energy. But he feels like he's forgetting something---rather someone---important.

MAIL JUST FOR YOU ! — ✉️

review it will you ?

🎬 — “Oh James~! It’s pride month, you know what that means!” @smg4corruptedfilesau

" ... What? What the hell is that supposed to mean — am I supposed to make like, gay coffee? Streams?– "

[snitchcafe]

Hey, uh...

Just wanted to follow up with you and ask if you talked to that weirdo yet?

I didn't hear from you after my last call so, just checking.

-- @snitch-productions

📞| Call Recieved ... Ongoing 5:00pm

[ Seems like James hesitated for a moment. As if he were unsure if he should lie, or just be honest — but he hadn't one singular reason to lie. ]

" Uhh... No. I haven't. "

[ And he wasn't sure why. He could have sworn he was more than comfortable talking to strangers considering both his career and the job he's currently at right now. ]

[snitch-productions]

UuuGHHHH. Come on, James! You're driving me nuts over here!

Look, this guy isn't gonna stop bothering you unless you get this over with. Take some initiative, for God's sake!

[snitchcafe]

📞| Ongoing ... 5:01pm

[ James groaned in return, clearly just as frustrated. ]

" Okay, okay—I get that—but it's more awkward if I accidentally accuse the wrong guy. Nevertheless during my work hours. I'm pretty much risking getting fired over one simple question. The guy barely even speaks, either. Just orders his coffee and sits down or whatever.

How am I supposed to assume this socially awkward loser is the one haunting me? "

[snitch-productions]

Man, I dunno! Just try talking to him... normally, huh? How about that?

You talk to him normally, and then you note down anything that seems "off."

Then you get an actual case down-

It's REALLY not that hard, James. Don't be such a pussy.

[snitchcafe]

📞 | Ongoing ... 5:03pm

" You're...really no help here. I don't think he'd stop for conversation. "

[ James sighed, loudly. ]

" But...he's the only one that I've seen who wears blue, constantly. That color is fuckin' haunting me around here, man. You can't be blaming me for freaking out, now. "

Continuation With @snitchcafe

Mr. Puzzles grumbled, as he wore a thick trenchcoat, and a rain hat, to protect his head from all the rain he hated himself at the moment, it completely covered up his identity.

Maybe he should have waited one more day, but he was already tardy enough, and he didn't want to keep the man waiting any longer, he took a deep breath and soon made himself inside Quiet Haven closing the door behind himself.

"Hope meeting this stranger is worth it, I hate how desperate I am for social connection..."

[puzzles-r-us]

"You... Genuinely don't recognize me? and how come your not reacting to your acutal name, I mean James is a fine name, if you want to be boring and normal."

Mr. Puzzles looked down at the man confused and soon squinted his eyes, against his better judgement he decided to be honest, he could see this was an Amnesia thing.

"... friends is a... term I would not use to describe us, infact I remember turning you into a clown at a theme park I owned for a little while, and also trying to kill you."

"Let me catch you up to speed then! Old Chum!"

Mr. Puzzles turned his knob, and played a famous clip, from back when he still looked like a Mario recolor.

'Welp i guess it's just us now! Call me if Mario or the universe is ever in danger again.'

Mr. Puzzles skipped forward to one of SMG3's more funny moments.

'Just don't message me on Saturdays, that's special SMG3 time, later losers'

Mr. Puzzles then ended the video clip.

"Your name is SMG3, it stands for super meme guardian three, I don't have the time for patience to show all of your lore, but man..."

"Years before we met, you were a loser! I mean granted you were still a loser when we met but a different kind."

"You acutally were quite the anti-hero last time I saw you, you still liked todo villain things but you'd save the world and your friends with no issues, but if I said that back then you'd say your still a villain and call me a baka!"

"Such a tsundare trope!"

[snitchcafe]

[ James stared for a good moment. He couldn't wrap his head around whatever Mr Puzzles was saying. Maybe, maybe it explained faint memories of something else, but he was no "SMG3" that was for sure. At least he's far from being even remotely close to that guy now. In fact, he felt almost insulted by word of comparison. ]

" So much for inviting you here. Can't you at least be a little nicer to someone who invited you here? Again. My name is James. " James spoke with frustration, biting down any annoyed insults of his own, as he didn't want to be too rude, himself.

" So, can I get you something? "

[ He at the least wanted to bear hospitality towards someone he feels like he knows. Maybe he did, but the blatant 'explanation' didn't speak for anything besides 'oooh, maybe you did know this guy before and this is just some secret good-for-nothing double life!' ... No. No it's not. ]

[puzzles-r-us]

"..."

"Dear god you've become such a wet blanket... I almost miss when you were trying to blow me up."

Mr. Puzzles mumbled, the guy didn't even react to anything he just told him, just corrected him on the name thing, and claimed he was being rude.

Mr. Puzzles just took a deep breath before sitting down.

"This is not who you are 'James' that is all I'm saying..."

"Fine, I'll just take a simple black coffee, don't want to trouble you with anything fancy."

He found himself pretty disappointed he wished he knew what todo but these amnesia tropes were always so annoying.

[snitchcafe]

" ...Fine. "

[ With a momentary glare, he rolled his eyes before getting to making Puzzles's coffee. He wouldn't care regardless. It's his job, and he gets paid for doing it. ]

" Whoever the guy you think I am, I'm not that guy. I probably just look similar or something. "

[ James said with light attitude, clearly not wanting to take what he considered bullshit from just some guy he figured had a connection to...something. Soon thereafter, he slid the freshly made coffee Puzzles's way. ]

" I only asked you to be here for a question or two. Then you can leave or whatever. "

[ ... He didn't even want to address how Puzzles somehow, someway had recordings of things he's never said. ]

Hey I would like to set a reservation for 5pm. I am also wondering if you are offering the Beanpareza extreme pizza tonight? *silence* hello is anyone even listening to the call? *more silence* Man I hate that *insert restaurant name that James does not even know exists* has horrible customer service.

📞 | Call Recieved ... Ongoing 4:00pm

[ A long, exasperated sigh came from the other side of the phone. James doesn't seem to be too happy with miscalls. But at least he didn't hang up on the spot. ]

" ... This isn't a pizza place, man. "

"Hope meeting this stranger is worth it, I hate how desperate I am for social connection..."

[snitchcafe]

[ Upon walking into the café, the first face Mr. Puzzles would be able to see was James, slaving away on orders and cleaning—exactly what his job entailed. Of course, James wouldn't be able to recognize the tall fella by appearance, only his voice. Yet, he did still have to greet the "unknown" individual in order to meet his job norms. ]

" Welcome to Quiet Haven, feel free to have a seat or whatever. " He coolly acknowledged, barely taking a glimpse at the other.

[ Wow. He's much more closed off than he normally is on the phone. Then again, things have happened over the day or two they were unable to meet. Albeit, James had quite literally said to visit whenever possible. ]

[puzzles-r-us]

Mr. Puzzles blinked upon seeing the man, he soon cleared his throat, before putting his hat, and coat on the coat hanger near by, revealing himself.

"..."

"..."

"SMG3?!?!?!"

"YOU WERE THE CALLER? DID NOT THINK YOU OF ALL PEOPLE WOULD WANT TO SEE ME!"

[snitchcafe]

" Oh, it's you. "

[ It took a moment for James to recognize the voice, but the pure shock from Mr Puzzles is what solely confused him. Why would it be so confusing for someone he assumed was an "old friend" to be invited to the café he works at? Nevertheless, what baffled him more is the sudden yelp of "SMG3"... Jeez, why was everyone calling him that, lately? He'd have to dismiss it for now. ]

" But, uh... My name is James, dude. " He corrected, tapping his nametag. Though he...supposed that's maybe something he went by before. It wasn't like he could tell.

" Why's it so surprising ? I'm the one who invited you here. "

[ James lightly tilted his head, holding his freshly made cappuccino, which wafted a bitter yet delicious caramel-coffee scent. He was about to serve this cup for a customer, though. Putting it on a plate and calling out the customers name loudly before walking back to the spot he was in previously. ]

[[ WHAT THE FUCK!!! I would like to reiterate that the people behind these kinds of accounts are REAL FUCKING PEOPLE—and for goodness sake, MOD4 IS A MINOR! THEY'RE NOT 18!

While I typically excuse behavior like this to MYSELF, genuinely...what the hell. If you behave like this to people who actively have a TOS of "Don't be weird" & "No NSFW", you have a problem, I'm not sorry!

If I catch any anons talking to @/superglitchymario4 like this: I have it out for you! I will not be friendly. Keep comments like that to yourself, have decency. Keep it in your pants. And read the FUCKING TOS!
