What the hell does Tinky have against me and my brother anyway?

[stars-realigned]

The issue is that he likes you

[spankoffskithroughspace]

Why though? I don't get what's so special about us!

[stars-realigned]

The Lords just latch onto people for little to no reason, I'm afraid

[spankoffskithroughspace]

What the hell does Tinky have against me and my brother anyway?

[stars-realigned]

The issue is that he likes you

[evil-general-john-macnamara]

I have a present for you. Have these Lego bricks, I'm sure you'll find a way to use them.

i'm sure these can be made into a bomb somehow

[stars-realigned]

1. A Lego bomb would be sick tbh

2. There is a thing called People Stepping On Legos and It Hurts

[evil-general-john-macnamara]

perhaps i will replace the flooring of ccrp with legos. good suggestion thank you

[stars-realigned]

Adopt me now

[evil-general-john-macnamara]

[Wilbur walks into the diner, deciding to pay a visit to his good friend Holly, not knowing this Holloway is different. With the full denim outfit and the jacket he got to match Holly, he's unmistakable for Uncle Wiley]

@stars-realinged

[A force makes him stumble back out of the diner. When he tries to re-enter, a barrier stops him. Holloway's voice speaks in his mind.]

[You've got a lot of nerve coming here, Wiley.]

[stars-realigned]

[Wilbur blinks, confused]

Holly?

[hollofame]

[What do you what?]

[There is no fondness in her voice.]

[stars-realigned]

[Wilbur suddenly chuckles]

Oh, I get it. This is a prank.

[hollofame]

[Holloway squints from behind the counter.]

You're...different.

[stars-realigned]

Different how?

[hollofame]

You're more...you...

Wilbur?

[stars-realigned]

Yeah, that's my name. What's up with you today, Holly?

[hollofame]

[The barrier drops.]

You're a long way from your timeline Wilbur.

[stars-realigned]

From my what?

[hollofame]

...come on in. I'll get you a slice of pie, and we can talk about it.

[stars-realigned]

[Wilbur shrugs, heading inside]

[hollofame]

[Holloway stands behind the counter, giving him a warm smile.]

You still like apple?

[stars-realigned]

Course I do

[hollofame]

Noted.

[Holloway hands him a slice of apple pie.]

[stars-realigned]

[He takes a bite, smiling]

So, what's with the whole timeline comment

[hollofame]

How much do you know about the goings on of Hatchetfield, Wilbur?

[stars-realigned]

A little. I know there's something up with those Wiggly dolls being promoted on tic tok

[hollofame]

What's tic tok?

[stars-realigned]

A social media app for posting videos

[hollofame]

...right. And social media is...?

[stars-realigned]

A place where you go and post stuff about your life.

[How does she not know what social media is? Sure, Holly doesn't use it much either, but she knows what it is]

[hollofame]

Huh. Anyways, Hatchetfield is sort of a nexus for a lot of different timelines in part because of that.

[stars-realigned]

Because of a girl posting toy videos on tiktoc?

[hollofame]

What? No? I have no idea what tic tac has to do with this, but that's not the point. There are infinite timelines. Infinite possibilities. Seems like you've crossed from your reality into mine.

[stars-realigned]

Huh

[hollofame]

It's more common than you might think.

[stars-realigned]

So, you have a problem with a different me?

[hollofame]

Problem's a bit of an understatement but yes.

[stars-realigned]

Well, me and my Holly are actually pretty close.

[hollofame]

Me and Wiley sort of...work for opposite sides, let's say.

[stars-realigned]

Yours is an asshole?

[hollofame]

Was. He's dead thankfully. Not that it doesn't stop others from fucking showing up.

[stars-realigned]

God, you hate his guts, don't you?

[hollofame]

You have no idea. Doesn't help that he someone managed to become buddies with my sister.

[stars-realigned]

Lora or Tess?

[hollofame]

Lawson.

[stars-realigned]

The bakery lady?

[hollofame]

Mhm

[stars-realigned]

How come she's your sister but not Holly's?

[hollofame]

[Holloway shrugs.]

The multiverse is fascinating thing.

[stars-realigned]

Truly

[hollofame]

So, what's your deal then? How'd you manage to stay you?

[stars-realigned]

Stay me?

[hollofame]

By the time I met you, you had already lost yourself to the eldritch horrors of this town. I'm interested in how you avoided that.

[stars-realigned]

Hm...well, back when I worked at PEIP, I was supposed to go through a portal, but the device that made the portal ended up breaking the day I was supposed to go. Does that have anything to do with it?

[hollofame]

That technical mishap saved your life.

[stars-realigned]

Wow.

[hollofame]

You should count yourself lucky.

[stars-realigned]

Guess I should

[hollofame]

[It did beg the question of who took his place.]

You say you're friends with your timline's version of me?

[stars-realigned]

Yeah, Holly and I are pretty close

[hollofame]

So not her...whose doing the tic tacs with the dolls?

[stars-realigned]

Steph Lauter, she's the Mayor's kid.

[hollofame]

Oh shit...that poor kid.

[stars-realigned]

....oh. yeah, that doesn't seem good

[hollofame]

It's not...Lords she's so young too.

[stars-realigned]

Hopefully she's fine with it

Mhm

[stars-realigned]

How come she's your sister but not Holly's?

[hollofame]

[Holloway shrugs.]

The multiverse is fascinating thing.

[stars-realigned]

Truly

[hollofame]

So, what's your deal then? How'd you manage to stay you?

[stars-realigned]

Stay me?

[hollofame]

By the time I met you, you had already lost yourself to the eldritch horrors of this town. I'm interested in how you avoided that.

[stars-realigned]

Hm...well, back when I worked at PEIP, I was supposed to go through a portal, but the device that made the portal ended up breaking the day I was supposed to go. Does that have anything to do with it?

[hollofame]

That technical mishap saved your life.

[stars-realigned]

Wow.

[hollofame]

[Wilbur walks into the diner, deciding to pay a visit to his good friend Holly, not knowing this Holloway is different. With the full denim outfit and the jacket he got to match Holly, he's unmistakable for Uncle Wiley]

@stars-realinged

[A force makes him stumble back out of the diner. When he tries to re-enter, a barrier stops him. Holloway's voice speaks in his mind.]

[You've got a lot of nerve coming here, Wiley.]

[stars-realigned]

[Wilbur blinks, confused]

Holly?

[hollofame]

[What do you what?]

[There is no fondness in her voice.]

[stars-realigned]

[Wilbur suddenly chuckles]

Oh, I get it. This is a prank.

[hollofame]

[Holloway squints from behind the counter.]

You're...different.

[stars-realigned]

Different how?

[hollofame]

You're more...you...

Wilbur?

[stars-realigned]

Yeah, that's my name. What's up with you today, Holly?

[hollofame]

[The barrier drops.]

You're a long way from your timeline Wilbur.

[stars-realigned]

From my what?

[hollofame]

...come on in. I'll get you a slice of pie, and we can talk about it.

[stars-realigned]

[Wilbur shrugs, heading inside]

[hollofame]

[Holloway stands behind the counter, giving him a warm smile.]

You still like apple?

[stars-realigned]

Course I do

[hollofame]

Noted.

[Holloway hands him a slice of apple pie.]

[stars-realigned]

[He takes a bite, smiling]

So, what's with the whole timeline comment

[hollofame]

How much do you know about the goings on of Hatchetfield, Wilbur?

[stars-realigned]

A little. I know there's something up with those Wiggly dolls being promoted on tic tok

[hollofame]

What's tic tok?

[stars-realigned]

A social media app for posting videos

[hollofame]

...right. And social media is...?

[stars-realigned]

A place where you go and post stuff about your life.

[How does she not know what social media is? Sure, Holly doesn't use it much either, but she knows what it is]

[hollofame]

Huh. Anyways, Hatchetfield is sort of a nexus for a lot of different timelines in part because of that.

[stars-realigned]

Because of a girl posting toy videos on tiktoc?

[hollofame]

What? No? I have no idea what tic tac has to do with this, but that's not the point. There are infinite timelines. Infinite possibilities. Seems like you've crossed from your reality into mine.

[stars-realigned]

Huh

[hollofame]

It's more common than you might think.

[stars-realigned]

So, you have a problem with a different me?

[hollofame]

Problem's a bit of an understatement but yes.

[stars-realigned]

Well, me and my Holly are actually pretty close.

[hollofame]

Me and Wiley sort of...work for opposite sides, let's say.

[stars-realigned]

Yours is an asshole?

[hollofame]

Was. He's dead thankfully. Not that it doesn't stop others from fucking showing up.

[stars-realigned]

God, you hate his guts, don't you?

[hollofame]

You have no idea. Doesn't help that he someone managed to become buddies with my sister.

[stars-realigned]

Lora or Tess?

[hollofame]

Lawson.

[stars-realigned]

The bakery lady?

[hollofame]

Mhm

[stars-realigned]
