Hi there, everyone! My name is Stella Fleming. You’ve probably heard of me~
it sucks that the backrooms and by extent liminal spaces turned out the way they did in popular culture. i love dreamy places not because they're full of Scary Screatures or whatever but because they're fun and interesting and cool and a perfect place for a girl like me to lay her eggs
i could make a nest here it would be so good it's got the perfect amount of structural support for the strands of goo to connect up and hold together easily without collapsing and forming a cozy little den for me to sleep in. but all anyone cares about is booboo's playtime party friends
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but you are one of the Scary Screatures
i'm a cute girl and everyone loves me
Hey, um, Webby, it . . . it’s been a while.
@stellastarlet
That it has...
I . . . wanted to apologize. For making you worry. And I also wanted to say goodbye. They don’t want me to talk to you anymore after today.
And since when do you care what they want?
I . . . I made a deal. He promised me my life back. At least some of it.
And you truly think that he will keep up his end of the bargain?
I didn’t know what else to do. I’m sorry.
[Webby sighs.]
There's nothing that can be done about it now.
I’m sorry. For- for worrying you. And I get it if you hate me now.
I do not hate you Stella. I just wish that you had more faith in me and less in them.
I . . . I’m so sorry. I was desperate, and I- I just-
I know ...I know
I, um . . . guess this is goodbye.
...they are just bullies, Stella. Powerful ones, but there are ways to overpower them.
. . . Not always.
I've dealt with them far longer than you have.
You- you don’t have to deal with me anymore. I already fucked it all up. And it’s not like there’s always a way to win.
You never know if you refuse to try.
I did try. I . . . I went to this woman in a denim jacket, but there was this flash of blue light and she . . . she was just gone.
You were likely teleported away. That was a good sign. If they didn't think she could help, they wouldn't have interfered.
No, I was still there. She was gone. There was this . . . this pile of what looked like a really fine blue glitter where she was standing. Like stardust almost.
Likely a fear tactic or a hallucination. That woman can't die. They made sure of that.
I- I dunno. I think . . . I think the message was clear. If I ask for help, the people who try to help me will get hurt.
Of course they say that. Isolating you means that you aren't able to fight back. If people care about you, it is their choice whether or not take a risk, not yours.
They aren’t just saying that, they mean it.
Did you even listen to the actual point of what I said?
Yeah, I just . . . don’t want anyone getting hurt because of ms.
You would do the same for them.
I . . . I’ve had everything handed to me my whole life. I don’t . . . think I deserve it.
That's not how it works, Stella. A happy life isn't something that you must earn. You've earned it from the beginning. Everyone has.
. . . Do you really mean that?
Of course. I wouldn't have said it otherwise.
. . . Then . . . then what can you do?
At this point the deal complicates things...what was the exact wording?
. . . He would give me my life back if I stayed away from you, barring an opportunity to say goodbye, and if I did a task for him once every three months.
What sort of tasks?
Anything she wants.
...she?
Pokey’s genderfluid.
Right. And what is stopping him from taking control of you?
They don’t want to.
Their whims can change on a dime, Stella.
I . . . I know that. But there was nothing in the contract about that!
Then nothing is stopping him from changing his mind.
You can’t just break a contract like that. They promised me my life back.
Something incredibly easy to find a loophole in.
Like . . . what kind of loophole?
He never promised how long you could have your life back, did he?
It says for the forseeable future, I believe.
An incredibly vague amount of time.
Can’t all of you see the future? That means all of it is forseeable, right?
I think only Tinky can actually.
. . . Oh. Well, it’s still forseeable, right?
For us? Or for you?
Um, for you? I dunno . . .
Doesn't seem like you thought this through.
. . . I was desperate . . .
And that's how they get you.
I . . . I know now . . .
Hey, um, Webby, it . . . it’s been a while.

At this point the deal complicates things...what was the exact wording?
. . . He would give me my life back if I stayed away from you, barring an opportunity to say goodbye, and if I did a task for him once every three months.
What sort of tasks?
Anything she wants.
...she?
Pokey’s genderfluid.
Right. And what is stopping him from taking control of you?
They don’t want to.
Their whims can change on a dime, Stella.
I . . . I know that. But there was nothing in the contract about that!
Then nothing is stopping him from changing his mind.
You can’t just break a contract like that. They promised me my life back.
Hey, um, Webby, it . . . it’s been a while.
@stellastarlet
That it has...
I . . . wanted to apologize. For making you worry. And I also wanted to say goodbye. They don’t want me to talk to you anymore after today.
And since when do you care what they want?
I . . . I made a deal. He promised me my life back. At least some of it.
And you truly think that he will keep up his end of the bargain?
I didn’t know what else to do. I’m sorry.
[Webby sighs.]
There's nothing that can be done about it now.
I’m sorry. For- for worrying you. And I get it if you hate me now.
I do not hate you Stella. I just wish that you had more faith in me and less in them.
I . . . I’m so sorry. I was desperate, and I- I just-
I know ...I know
I, um . . . guess this is goodbye.
...they are just bullies, Stella. Powerful ones, but there are ways to overpower them.
. . . Not always.
I've dealt with them far longer than you have.
You- you don’t have to deal with me anymore. I already fucked it all up. And it’s not like there’s always a way to win.
You never know if you refuse to try.
I did try. I . . . I went to this woman in a denim jacket, but there was this flash of blue light and she . . . she was just gone.
You were likely teleported away. That was a good sign. If they didn't think she could help, they wouldn't have interfered.
No, I was still there. She was gone. There was this . . . this pile of what looked like a really fine blue glitter where she was standing. Like stardust almost.
Likely a fear tactic or a hallucination. That woman can't die. They made sure of that.
I- I dunno. I think . . . I think the message was clear. If I ask for help, the people who try to help me will get hurt.
Of course they say that. Isolating you means that you aren't able to fight back. If people care about you, it is their choice whether or not take a risk, not yours.
They aren’t just saying that, they mean it.
Did you even listen to the actual point of what I said?
Yeah, I just . . . don’t want anyone getting hurt because of ms.
You would do the same for them.
I . . . I’ve had everything handed to me my whole life. I don’t . . . think I deserve it.
That's not how it works, Stella. A happy life isn't something that you must earn. You've earned it from the beginning. Everyone has.
. . . Do you really mean that?
Of course. I wouldn't have said it otherwise.
. . . Then . . . then what can you do?
