“Are you alright?”

“I’m alright. Tired. Sad.”

“Yeah. Get some rest. Everything is better after a night’s rest. Or a nap.”

There weren’t supposed to be any golden apples on the server. The recipe is disabled; the loot tables scoured.

There are two golden apples: one in the hands of Pearl, abandoned and alone and hurting.

The other is in the hands of Bdubs - who betrayed his soulmate in a past game over a clock. He received a clock from his soulmate, a token to seal their bond, a test. Impulse passed.

Pearl knows she should destroy the apple. She wonders if offering it to Scott and Cleo would convince them to forgive her, just a little. She thinks about what it would mean to be utterly, completely alone in truth.

Impulse sees the golden apple in his partner's chest and leaves it there. Maybe it’s another test. Maybe he’s testing Bdubs. He doesn’t know.

Does he trust Bdubs because they are bound together by the universe? Does he feel different now that he knows there is a way out? He doesn’t know, but the question will eat at him.

Pearl keeps the apple, because she doesn’t trust anyone else but her to have it.

And the Watchers grin in anticipation.

Thoughts on the Double Life pairs (post-week1):

Bdubs+Impulse: love the old married couple vibes. The inevitable betrayal will be that much more painful.

Tango+Jimmy: they are going to make each other better <3 constantly neglected and underappreciated, they are on track to becoming the server powerhouse. I believe in them!!!

Etho+Joel: they are going to make each other worse <3 and have a grand old time terrorizing the server. Too hypercompetent for their own good. Definitely my main POVs this season.

Grian+Scar: ARE YOU KIDDING ME. They’re going to have a time trying not to rehash their dynamic from 3rd Life. Happy Pride Month I guess.

Ren+BigB: fun and chill vibes, no big drama (yet. Ren will find a way).

Scott+Cleo: yassss defy the universe! make your own destiny! (but they’ll have to deal with their assigned soulmates eventually.)

Pearl+Martyn: they were just having fun exploring :( and now they’re alone :((( I predict Pearl will hang around Scott and Cleo in the future, and Martyn will be a loner (or end up with Ren because of course he will).

really love the potential that the golden apples have. cleo and scott getting their hands on and downing golden apples so they can be free of their soulmates that they’ve grown to hate. etho dying due to joel a second time and eating one to save himself because he’s a survivor, that’s what he does. grian finally getting free of mr. dies a lot scar. the drama. betrayal in the form of golden apple.

alternatively, someone about to die in a battle, and eating a golden apple because they know if they don’t, both they and their soulmate will die and they have to at least save One of them.

in double life, if someone gets a tattoo, their soulmate would feel it, right? because that's very funny to think about

like, what if one of the divorced four have good pain resistance and just sit there while tattooing themselves or having someone else do it, and across the map their soulmate is just not having fun and keeps waving their arm or stomping around? the amount of petty in that
