SALUTATIONS
This AU has been bouncing around in my head for a while now, so I thought I'd save it from rotting in Idea Purgatory, LOL. That way, if I never finish writing it, it shall still have its freedom. Somewhat.
Please note that this bastard is still in heavy WIP.
Writing updates and snippets will be posted here.
Asks are encouraged! :D

ABOUT
All have their own stories; they just happen to intertwine.
Zac & Collin
[]
Assimilation
Assimilation left Andre in the forest following the betrayal, retreating further into World 26, and they wished they hadn't looked back. The Admins standing proud around Andre's crumpled shell cradled in grass and mud spread across their code like a cancer. How they wished they could cut it away.
Collin allowed them to stay under the conditions that they reimbursed him for what Andre stole and helped keep other entities in line.
With guilt etched into their ribs and gnawing at their heart, Assimilation prepared to return to Gridworld. They would not—could not—leave Andre to rot.
. . .
They feel sick.
Kevin
Kevin had known Vitri for years, so when she vanished after an off-handed mention of something spreading in her world, he jumped to investigate before it was too late. They refused to fail anyone else.
Her world was overrun with a blue sickness. It suffocated the grass and the trees and the stone. Mobs were warped and cocooned, tethered to the blocks beneath as it fed on their code. Unrecognizable. Kevin locked eyes, briefly, with the checkered face of a white figure in the distance before it disappeared.
The examination led him to Gridworld, to the Interworld Doors, then to the entity-infested World 26 and the owner who insisted he had it all under control—just as she said before she disappeared. And the best part?
Some of the inhabitants had leads.
Vitri
Vitri couldn't remember how she got here: contained in a glass quarantine with only a few meters of space to move—put on display as if she were nothing but a mere specimen. But the blue tendrils writhed like feasting maggots beneath her skin, burrowing deeper into her muscle, settling into the marrow of her bones, and she refused to let it take her. Not here. Not like this.
She needed out.
Beyond the glass stood a labyrinthine nightmare of sterile white grid reflecting too-bright florescents. Countless hours of walking identical hallways and rooms she didn't understand. Alone. Alone save for the mind-numbing hum of electricity, the padding of her footsteps, and her pulse rushing in her ears.
Things got much easier when she found Andre.
Andre
The seed was familiar in a way he didn't understand but still clung to the back of his mind—a web that caught fleeting thoughts that something was missing. That something was wrong.
The timer hit three hours, and he was still staring at the lava pool. The general consensus was that the timer was broken. After all, it had only been two minutes.
. . . Right?
—
He woke up in the glass cage again.
