Tess: We shouldn’t be in here, it’s probably full of asbestos and.. lead, or whatever.
Jacob: They’ll get bored soon enough.
Levi: Wow, I bet you two are super fun at parties.
Aster: Ough-.. I hate dolls.
Penny: Really? I always pictured you playing with them.
Aster: [scoffs] If I did, they wouldn’t look like this.
Penny: Why do they all have weird wing things?
Robin: Maybe they’re little agents of chaos.
Aster: Eh?
Aster: Never heard of it.
Robin: It’s just a phenomenon that explores how tiny changes can lead to different outcomes-.. like, a butterfly flapping its wings here n’ causing a tsunami in Sulani.
Penny: I’m not an idiot for not knowing what that is, it sounds ridiculous.
Robin: It makes some sense if you think about it.
Aster: Nah, yeah-.. it’s interesting.
Penny: Sure, it is.
Aster: It is!
[Levi snickered under his breath as he sifted through some long-forgotten boxes]
Penny: [huffs] What now?
Levi: Déjà vu much.
Penny: Shut up.
UNIDENTIFIED RETINA – ACCESS DENIED
Aster: Woah.
Penny: Don’t suppose you can pick that?
[Robin scoffed, shaking his head]
Jacob: Maybe one of these bodies would work.
Levi: Jesus, no one’s dragging a dead body around-.. besides, the eyes are the first to rot.
Tess: EW-.. how do you know that?
Robin appears to have stumbled into a rather nightmarish situation and it’s up to you to ensure he makes it out alive. If he dies-.. well, maybe that’s it, or maybe he just wakes up, or maybe he won’t die at all?! Probably best not to find out the hard way though, right?
Invictus is a multiple-choice Halloween special based on Until Dawn, various other classic horror games, a teensy bit (read: a lot) of brain rot, and an overactive imagination; mine or Robin’s, you decide.
I know that creepy, slightly gory things aren't for everyone so below is a list of potential trigger warnings and if you want to sit this one out you can block the tag "fib invictus" and we'll pick up where we left off storywise in November! 🖤🧡
creepy dolls, various monsters, weapons, blood, death, murder, corpses, fighting, injuries, needles, electrocution, experimentation (not the good kind) and general peril!
As a side warning: I will be continuing with regular previous/next links as it's still technically part of the story, though I will provide a link to skip past it all when the time comes, so look out for that when normal posts resume!
My usual mon-fri schedule will probs go out the window too as some posts will have votes that last a day so I'll either take the day between those off or post later than usual idk we'll see what happens 🤸♀️
Last but not least I'd like to give some shout outs to those that've helped me during this process 🖤
Props to @softpine for some of the Until Dawn assets used and for inspo from this post! 🧡
To @sirianasims for helping me find ridiculous amounts of disgusting, amazing cc and generally spit balling ideas with me from the very start 🤸♀️
A big thank you to @zosa95 for being my beta reader, listening to me witter about this project since fkin forever ago and sharing my excitement 🤗
Thanks to everyone in the story server for putting up with numerous out of context screenies and for enduring my whinging about how tired I've been recently skdjsk.. particularly @lynzishell @hannahssimblr @madebycoffee @daniigh0ul and @sirianasims for consistently cheering me on when I was pooped 💩
Okok last LAST but not least, some rambling.. I've been busy with this project in the background since the end of July and keeping up with regular story nonsense whilst working on this and adulting in between was NOT it 😅 (if you noticed my regular posts lacking in their usual vibrancy no u didn't.. but ur also right cos i've had to be super lazy with it recently to keep up with two things at once, so SORRY! fkjfk)
Anyway, hopefully it's worth it, I had a lot of fun making this special and I'm pretty proud of it so I hope everyone enjoys our October shenanigans this year!
Maybe I'll find some time to make some gifts for simblreen but I'm not promising anything cos I'm eepy.. maybe my gift this year is just danger and violence instead ehehe 👻🔪
Robin: What do you want from me?!
Dr. Abbott: Oh, I think you know.
Robin: I don’t know!
Dr. Abbott: That’s not entirely true, is it?
[Robin blinked, instantly giving himself away as Dr. Abbott’s thoughts drifted into his mind]
Dr. Abbott: You want to keep it to yourself, I get it-.. no one would understand.
Robin: Why me? Where did it come from-.. is it hereditary?
Dr. Abbott: No doubt your father will search for you, your mother too-.. perhaps we’ll find out.
Robin: They’ve been through enough, leave them alone!
Dr. Abbott: Their choices were their own, as are yours; you chose to be here.
Robin: Bullshit! I didn’t choose any of this!
Dr. Abbott: “I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul.”
Robin: Wha-.. what about Alex?
Dr. Abbott: What about her?
Robin: Where is she, is she special too?
Dr. Abbott: Catch her in the right mood and she’ll spill her secrets.
Robin: What did you do to her?!
Dr. Abbott: Shh, shhh-.. we can’t work together if you won’t be subdued.
Robin: Wait, wait! We can’t work together at all if you subdue me!
Dr. Abbott: Who said anything about death? I need you alive.
Robin: Wait, what do you mean-.. what’re you going to do?!
Dr. Abbott: Don’t fret, son.. let all your troubles just melt away…
Robin: We need to-…
Levi: Shut the fuck up! It’s YOUR fault we’re down here in the first place-.. YOU did this!
Robin: You were just as keen to look around as I was.
Levi: Don’t try n’ blame me!
Robin: Well, don’t blame me either!
[Levi grunted, begrudgingly acknowledging that maaaaybe he was being a jerk]
[Robin hesitated halfway into what he could only describe as a demented looking laboratory, the hairs on his neck rising with unease]
Robin: I hate it here…
Levi: This is beyond fucked up, Robin…
Jacob: Alright, what the fuck is going on? None of this makes any sense.
Penny: Someone must be pranking us.
Levi: [scoffs] Pretty elaborate prank, Penny.
Robin: I don’t think anyone’s messing with us.
Penny: Don’t be stupid, of course they are!
Jacob: Yeah, I don’t know-.. I’m tempted to side with Penny.
[Robin regretted his words as various murmurs of agreement echoed around him-.. though Levi remained silent, squinting at his friend]
Levi: What do you know that we don’t?
Robin: Nothing! I just-…
Levi: Naah, you’re barely ever wrong, it’s impossible to freak you out and you always seem to know what’s going on before everyone else-.. it’s kinda sus.
[Robin’s cheeks flushed as multiple stares and another chorus of agreement assaulted him]
Robin: What if we’re supposed to be here-.. what if I’m supposed to be here?
Penny: What makes you so special?
Robin: I can feel what you feel-.. what any of you feel, and uh-.. I can read minds too, see people’s memories n’ stuff.
Penny: [laughs] Okay, sure-.. can you shoot lasers from your eyes as well?
Aster: Woah, Robin-.. those notes!
[Robin nodded fervently, glad that Aster had somehow managed to connect the dots]
Robin: I don’t know for sure, but I’m worried Alex might be here too…
Levi: Oh, shit.
Penny: Who the fuck is Alex?
Jacob: Robin’s pen pal.
Penny: Okay, whatever-.. I’m all for finding your friend if she’s here, but this kinda shit isn’t real. I know we’re all freaked out n’ stuff but mind readers and monsters don’t exist!
Tess: Whatever does or doesn’t exist, we need to find a way out…
