what it means to be human (dsmp au)
A blob of slime emerges from the rubble after the L'Manburg war, but no one notices, far too distracted by the explosions from before.
Before it can ponder what to do, it overhears a conversation between a man with broken wings and a man with a brown jacket.
They seem familiar to the slime, though it takes quite a bit of time before he realises that he's seen them before, and that the winged man looks older than he remembers.
It quietly watches the two as they scream at each other, and it isn't until it sees the familiar glint of a diamond sword that he realises the brown jacket man wants to die.
“Why would he want to die, when he was so lucky to be born as a human?”
It continues to watch as he sees the broken-winged man crumble to the ground, hugging the man's body until it fades away into nothing, like every other time it'd seen it happen before.
Yet for some reason, it feels strange, like it didn't want that to happen again.
Again?
That's when it remembers a life it once lived, one where it had an actual name.
Charlie.
The two people seemed different from what he just saw, where instead of a father and son, they were friends.
He remembers being killed, but he doesn't feel too sad, only a little surprised when he finds himself floating a few feet away from his fading body.
He watches over them, interested in who will survive the longest amongst them before the apocalypse arrives. When he sees Wilbur sneak up behind Phil, he can just feel that something bad will happen and rushes towards them.
Phil slips through his fingers as he fumbles to catch him, and he can see the pure fear and shock in the man's eyes.
The next moment, Phil lies on the ground, body contorted from the fall with his eyes wide open.
To Charlie's surprise, Phil's spirit emerges from the body.
Just as he's about to call out to him, he notices the man's gaze and follows it, only to find Wilbur leaning over the ledge with a horrified expression.
Tears spill out of Wilbur's eyes as he keeps shaking his head, continuously muttering to himself “I didn't mean it I didn't mean it I didn't mean it-”
Charlie looks back to Phil to see what he'll do, but the man simply shrugs and smiles before he turns away to leave.
He wants to call out to the man, but Phil vanishes in a blink of an eye.
He desires to continue watching over them, but his soul is slowly and surely crumbling apart, so he uses his remaining energy to wish as hard as he can.
“I hope I can see them again, in my next life.”
Charlie gets his wish, by regaining his memories as a slime in the future, albeit a million years later, during the L’Manberg explosion.
But his memories are jumbled, and he’s lost all of his humanity to boot, so he merely treats the memories as if they were stories, though it does invoke a strong sense of curiosity to understand humans better.
So he continues to watch over the people, taking in their sorrow, happiness, anger and violence, always hidden amongst the cracks of the walls and beneath the earth.
He wants to join them, but his body isn’t strong enough so he works on his morphing abilities, practising everyday until he eventually manages to mimic a human form.
But that’s when Quackity catches him and takes him under his wing.
At first, he stays because Quackity teaches him many things, more than he’d ever learned on his own, but after a while he decides to stay with the duck altogether.
Because he’s his first friend!
However, good things don’t last long because Quackity gets killed during his visit to Dream, which panics Charlie because he promised the duck that he wouldn’t die.
Traumatised and lost, he stays in Las Nevadas even with everyone leaving, quickly turning the once flashy and dazzling Las Nevadas into a ghost town.
Wilbur visits, surprised by Charlie wearing the beanie, and has a talk with him.
“Wilbur from L’Manburg, why do humans like violence so much? Why would humans waste their time and energy to kill people when they all turn to dust eventually?”
“It’s because we’re human, Charlie. We’re too stupid, emotional and sensitive. Human emotions are ticking time bombs; Once you push them past its limit, it goes off.”
“Like the time you blew up L’Manburg!”
“…Exactly.”
“Do you miss Quackity from Las Nevadas? That’s why you’re here, right?”
“…Are you always this honest, Charlie?”
“What do you mean, Wilbur from L’Manburg?”
“Do you always ask questions this direct?”
“Yep! Humans fascinate me, so I make sure to ask questions to understand them better! Though I still can’t really understand them…”
“Huh. To answer your question, I suppose I do, though I’d never admit it in front of him.”
“Why not? Didn’t you care about Quackity?”
“…”
“If you cared about Quackity from Las Nevadas, why wouldn’t you have let him know? I cared about him, so I made sure to give him lots of hugs and ‘dap-me-ups’! Wilbur from L’Manburg, you’re a strange human.”
“…Quackity was lucky to have you by his side, Charlie.”
“…I hope that is true!”
One day, Charlie realises that he can't keep his human form much longer because his metamorphosis is starting. He thinks that it's only going to be for a short while, so he promises Wilbur that he'll only be gone for a few months at most.
But months turn to years and Wilbur bids his final goodbye before Quackity's broken grave.
“It was nice knowing you, both of you. But I guess that it was just never meant to be.”
When Charlie returns, excited and giddy from his new form, there is no one alive left to greet him.
After gathering information from other slimes, he realises that something akin to natural selection had occurred, not leaving a single human alive.
Instead, there are familiar faces in unfamiliar forms, as though they aren't entirely human at all, with seemingly no connection to the place that he grew attached to.
And just like that, he sees them again.
Phil, with obsidian wings as he soars through the sky.
Wilbur, with twinkling laughter as he breezes through walls.
“Perhaps in this lifetime, they will be happy.”

I spend a really long time on this, so if you are a fan of the Dream SMP/the new “Free Trial” SMP, please, give it a read! It would make my day! I haven’t gotten many reads of this through any other platform, so I’m hoping SMPblr can pull through!
