My annual random reappearance this time with more Memory Malfunction Au!

Graecie wandering the clearing alone realizing her dad really sold her, Oeca is in his normal persona and while he doesn't remember killing anyone or being arrested he'd watched the star shows before and is super excited to be on TV. Squidney volunteered to join the project and is so confused to wake up with her memories in tact since they told her they'd be wiped. They're all chatting when Mohwee comes up just as dirty as before he comes out cursing and shouting. He's determined to leave still but a lot of his shouting and fury is to the trees since he's not sure where the cameras are.

All their chatting and talking is interrupted the sound of screaming, shouting, and punching as Owen and Rasbi wake up in the elevator. At some point during their attempts to kill each other with their bare hands they hit the lever and at the top are forcibly separated by the others. When Apo comes out if the elevator he's all for Rasbis demands that they all kill Owen but Graecie manages to reel everyone in for now since they need to establish some bases to survive.

Owen still says no one should go into the maze but now it's a way harder to block the gate since Mohwee, Oeca, Apo and Rasbi are always trying to sneak into the maze, some to escape, some to pass him off. Reddons arrival actually helps quite a bit actually. A business man at heart he's determined to make the most of his time on TV, and works to essentially turn himself into a marketable brand. He also encourages the violence of the others, blood sells after all.

Spidey is actually pretty upset when she arrives since she didn't even mean to kill the mayor so the punishment really doesn't feel like it fits the crime. Mohwee equally as furious to be here takes her and Oeca under his wings. With Gutz arrival Rasbi and Apo had hoped for more help with Mission Kill the General but they're still pretty torn about the whole murdering hundreds of people thing and ops to stay mostly neutral on it. They do try to have a few heart to heart conversations with Owen, mass murderer to mass murderer but they usually just end with a lot of shouting and stab wounds needing to be stitched up.

Clearing Two Is less peaceful with everyone remembering their past. Krow strutting around like it's a God and Bekyamon being even more self absorbed than in cannon, plus whatever crimes the others are guilty of. Still when clearing 1 finds the survivors Magic is less easily lead and instead very bitter about all she's been through. She's not interested in making friends but neither is anyone else so she fits in. Bekyamon does not fit in when she arrives but she's never one to back down from a challenge and takes on the role of impromptu leader. Something that annoys everyone into a second election just to make her stop.

Krow is a hundred percent on board with Mission Kill Owen but is honestly more a hindrance than a help because it wants to be the one to do it and that leads to quite a lot of infighting between the Demons. Soup on the other hand has been used for skills and knowledge for a long time and she's not even sure if her brother is alive so she's does not work for free. She's still the closest they have to a doctor though so if you need wounds stitched or any type of potion she charges in either materials or secrets between the others. Ayngel is just trying to survive and escape but the big sister syndrome takes over for her. She takes on the role of confidant for the clearing and the exhausting role of joining Graecie in being a mediator for the infighting.

Kyle and Acho fit well in this group of bitter angry strangers. Kyle is over protective of Acho and though he initially wants to stay away from the others he's quickly dragged into nonsense since being on their bad side is even more dangerous. Acho might be innocent but he's also a tad angry that no one cared to protect him while his father hurt him. Not to mention when someone did something in response they were thrown into a torture maze to die for public entertainment. So when trying to make friends he finds himself quickly causing chaos.

Obviously, because I'm a sucker for a happy ending, they find friendship despite all the anger and bitterness. After all inside the maze, the only thing you can rely on is the people beside you, human, demon, or angel. The tentative peace is definitely tested when they actually begin escaping the maze, though.

Long posting one more time! This is part 2 of final things mainly about After Maze life for the Outsiders!

-They're free and most definitely in shock! After leaving behind Star enterprise and the Maze they had lived in for a year the group starts to wander.

-The biggest immediate difference is I don't think the group splits up anymore. They've always been attached to each other, unhealthy so but the final compounds that hard. They desperately need to be around people who understand them and really, that's only their fellow Outsiders. (The Announcer called them Outsiders and the title feels like it's worth less now because of it, how dare they take more from them)

-The first few days, maybe weeks they're sense of time is so screwed days feel too long and they wake up randomly in the night expecting it to be morning, are spent wandering the woods avidly avoiding civilization. They don't want to run into anyone who might recognize them.

-Foraging in the woods is second mature, chop trees, make tents, get food, it's only when Soup mentions they should find somewhere for her to garden so she can start potion making that everything really catches up to them, what are they doing?

-Most have no home to return to and those that do are haunted by the idea that any remaining friends and family have just watched their lives in constant danger, seen every up and down and emotional break for for a year and a day. How could they return to normal lives back home after that?

-After some talking they decide, let's just find somewhere in the woods and settle down there, it's not like it's new to survive in the wilderness with no one else around. So they find the nearest civilization, people point and whispers when they see them, and run as far from it as possible.

-In a forest area, nearby an Ocean and a cave system they settle down and start again. It's early Maze time again rebuilding homes and figuring out how to lay everything out. There's familiarity in it that feels good.

-Their new home forms and grows quickly Apo and Owen build a house together on the edge of the ocean and Owen sets up another training ground and Apo makes a dock.

-Rasbi, Squidney, Spidey, Oeca, Ayngel, Mohwee, and Ori all build tree houses high in the sky, rope bridges connecting them with zip lines and parcore leading up to the tree tops.

-Gracie and Magic live in a house together near the middle of the new clearing and remake the girls club, Magic points out an area where they can set up a game area

-Kyle and Acho make a home together and it's them who build the campfire area this.

-Reddons builds a bar first and foremost and after sone pushing from Apo he ends up just throwing a bed in the second floor of the building so he technically has a house.

-Bek builds a stage below Ori's tree houses and Builds her home in the back of the stage, she also lays a carpet out on the stage to catch Ori after all his failed mlg water buckets

-Soup makes her home in Reddon basement for no other reason then Red telling her it'd be like have a speakeasy but for drugs. He doesn't listen at all when she says potions aren't drugs but he offers to help her build a garden so she agrees

-Krow spends lots of time building its home and after it feels done it steps outside and sees that Guts has built their house right across from its and theirs is fancier than it's. This is the beginning of a terrible terrible house war.

-Sometime after getting their home looking nice Ayngel says she has to go home and see her siblings and like second nature the others offer to go with her. Showing up with 18 people to her home is probably not the best idea and bound to stir up trouble so after discussing she goes with Krow, Spidey, and Ori. It's the first time the group will be separated and everyone is panicky about it, overloading the small group with materials, weapons, and even some potions.

-The group is gone for 1 month and by the two week mark the remaining Outsiders are debating just going after them. They hold out and the night before the rest are going to look for them they show up, two kids in tow.

-Alina and Aldoro are excited to be back with their sister and the Outsiders are eager to make them feel welcome because Ayngel loves them so the two are showered in both gifts and lessons about surviving and fighting.

-Next is Rasbi who wants to go see her family, they must be looking for her since she just vanished. She isn’t sure if she wants to stay with them but she does want to talk to them and she doesn’t want to go alone but she doesn’t know who could even come. After some debate she, Guts, Reddons, and Apo all decided to go the latter for moral support. When they arrived they’re welcomed with open arms and a feast for Rasbi’s return (they’re so sick of people watching them, cheering for them, staring when they walk by, but Rasbi’s mother looks like she might cry so they smile and go along with it) things are fine at first. They don’t mention the show. Until they do. At first it’s the things Rasbi can talk about, how hard it was to survive, Grievers are terrifying in person, yes she misses the clearing sometimes. Then comes the inevitable question, her friendship with Owen. How is she supposed to answer that, how do you explain what it’s like to have your memories ripped away, to forge friendships with people just as scared and confused as you, to spend years, months?, living a life with them, having them defend you, and enjoying their company and then remembering the pain they’ve caused you. Seeing the regret in their eyes, being angry and confused but wanting that person to reassure you so bad that your ok. How does she explain looking her sisters murder in the eye and begging him not to sacrifice himself for her. The answer is you don’t. The answer is you ask for some time, she’ll answer later tonight just let her get her thoughts in order. Then she and the others sneak out before anyone can notice. She’s a coward but better a coward then having to stare at their disappointed faces when she explains. She doesn’t come back.

-Other exertions happen, Gracie visiting Quill’s grave with Oeca, Magic, and Owen. Krow going to it’s cults old haunting ground with Soup, Mohwee, Spidey, and Kyle. Kyle and Acho trying to go back to their old city and taking Bek, Gracie, and Squidney with them. All journeys end the same, they can’t fit in anymore. Old homes and old friends look different, feel different, they’re different now, they don’t fit in anymore. So they end up back in their new glade. It’s Oeca who demands they name the place and after being denied OecaVille they decide on a simple wooden sign declaring their makeshift home “The Glade”

-One day Reddons goes into the nearest town, he goes often in disguise to sell his home made beer, extra money never hurt for emergencies, he sees a commercial on the bar tv, Star Enterprise and their new season The Haunted Mansion. His stomach drops, it takes everything in him to remain calm and leave the bar without vomiting (people are chatting excitingly about the show, how can they be entertained by people being tortured?) he stumbles home and freaks out immediately explaining everything to everyone.

-They try to ignore, they’ll just stop going into town, not look at tv’s anymore, the season can only last so long, but none of them can sleep that night. Magic voices the idea first, can they really just leave those people to suffer? They debate but as soon as its said they know what they have to do, they start to gather weapons and make a plan, there are going to be some unexpected guest on this season, Star Enterprise won’t know what hit them.

[talk-it-out-outsiders-smp]

ALRIGHT NOW ITS TIME FOR MY FAVORITE COPING MECHANISM, DENIAL! Au Final things! It's been set up like tragedy but by God they will get there happy ending!

- First off because no one died in this Au the original people who saw the sign with the code are still around, most importantly Apo who I firmly believe would remember that number, so Ori definitely still falls into the lab but instead makes a bet for his friends full freedom. If they get out of the maze, all together, then they get to walk away fully, no strings attached. (This is vague but what I'm working with right now)

-So our group heads into the dark maze when the lava rises and they make their way into The Trails

-When crossing the initial Bridge they have Bek and Kyle Led with Owen and Magic in the back to keep an eye out for anything sneaking up on them and also to make sure everyone is there

-Krow's comment about remembering the outside world being darker is heard by Soup who promises to take him to a beach once they're out

-Reddons absolutely steals the beer from that chest while playing dumb about what hybrid they could be talking about

-Meeting Crazy Spell Nick in that water cave goes even worse because instead of 8 there's 18 and the cave barely fits them. Oeca I'd the impatient one who decides to just try and swim through

-Now since Owen never tried to kill Krow he didn't cut its arm off so... While swimming past the creature Acho almost gets bit by it but Krow pushes him out of its path getting its own arm practically bitten off

-Guts continues her life as a strongest woman around and carries both Krow and Bek on her shoulders up the rope since there both injured

-In the sacrifice room there's lots of arguing about who should stay. Ori is horrified but adament that he should stay, Soup says she should stay because she doesn't think she can fit in the outside world, Mohwee offers to stay since he believes both Soup and Ori would be better at ensuring the group as a wholes survival, in the end Owen stands on the pressure plate and orders the others out.

-Rasbi and Apo demand he come with them, they'll find another way, there's always another way. Owen tries to explain that it's fine that of all of them he deserves to escape the least and Rasbi screams at him that she doesn't care, he doesn't get to break up fruit trio like this. Ori pleas with Owen that he'll stay but Owen won't budge and says they should say their goodbyes since they need to leave. He has to get Kyle to drag Ori out of the room. Bek gives Owen her sword insisting that if anyone could get out of this it's him. Gracie firmly tells Owen that she's ordering him not to die and to catch up with them as soon as he can. He salutes just before the door closes, saying goodbye with a quick, yes ma'am.

-They hear the explosion through the door but Magic insist he's he fine, no one argues with her. They don't want to voice the only other conclusion

-Camping in the Mushroom Room is the first break the get and everything catches up with them pretty quick. Apo refuses to talk about Owen or really talk at all till Reddons drags him into a conversation with Mohwee and Rasbi about Maze theories since they're almost out, he insist they place bets on what they'll find at the end

-Soup cleans up Krows arm injury, amputating it, and Acho thanks him for the save. It and Kyle have a good heart to heart here as well, saying some long over do apology that are sincere this time

-Squidney, Spidey, and Ayngel drag everyone into campfire songs to cheer up Gracie and Magic

-Guts has a really good singing voice

-Oeca doesn't sing but does awkwardly pat Gracie on the back in his own form of comfort.

-Ori goes off to his own mushroom, his deal weighing heavily on him, Bek sits beside him and without prompting Ori says he can't explain but that he messed up. She reassures him he didn't, firmly stating that they're all doing the best they can and even if he made a mistake they'll be by his side to help him pick up the pieces.

-Krow is still the one to display its memories and has a meltdown but everyone is silent in shock after the visions end, and with no harsh words to lash out at it just breaks down screaming about how it did what it had to do. It was it or them, Krow had to, they have to understand it didn't want to hurt them but, it had to. It didn't want to hurt anyone.

-Ayngel interupts Krow's spiral by pulling him into a hug, ignoring how it digs its claws into her reflexively, and promises him they understand. Soup assures him that plenty of them have done bad things. Reddons cracks a joke about being the court jester to Krows empire when he takes over as the one true dragon born. They feel ok when they finally open the door, ready to move forward.

-The mood is ruined when the Watchers burst in and suddenly start ordering them around. Though they can't really fight all of them they still scream and argue, and in Krows case bite, when they try to drag Magic away. They swear they'll get her back and she yells for them to be careful. Still they're separated.

-A momentous occasion for the audience, almost an entire cast leaving the Maze, such a shame about that disgraced war General though, so close.

-Bek is horrified to step out out on that stage to find this whole time she has been a star and now the idea is sickening

-Apo furiously yelling about theories and ideas he got wrong

-Oeca definitely tries to argue his simulation thing was close enough to win the betting pool to Reddons who insist that technically Acho won with his lab rat science experiment bet

-Kyle shielding Acho from everyone's staring eyes

-Mohwee and Spidey getting so angry right away that Squidney and Guts forcibly hold them back from attacking the announcer or the audience

-Ayngel stopping Krow from doing the same

-Gracie and Soup going into numb shock and just sitting down and staring, not saying anything at all

-Rasbi has a full blown panic attack on the stage overwhelmed by the yelling and cheering and Ori calms her down

-Meanwhile Magic stand before her father again, stronger but not they way he wanted. She demamd she and her friends be let go and he spills the beans on Ori's deal, noting that they were in fact, 1 member down. Magic argues that he knew someone had to be left behind and set them up, and he agrees saying that he rigged the bet in his favor, something he hopes she can understand. Magic starts talking about how she's better than him, stronger because of her compassion not weaker. He begins to point out her failing as leader of clearing 2 and belitting her for getting Ash killed. Before Magic and argue though Owen comes out of a vent in the wall, furious and ready to defend his friend.

-Owen after letting his friends leave searched around the room for some sort of out, trying to brute force his way back the way he came but instead finds a floor grate hidden under some carpeting. He uses the sword to force his way through and starts to climb through the vents to find his way back to the others. Hearing Magic yelling through the vents he follows her voice to the office.

-They either kill him or get him to agree to letting them go, unsure which direction I like more but result is the same, they leave this place and head out into the world with nothing really on them.

-This got really long and I need to sleep so after maze life tmrw because, wow things will not be the sane after this realization about the maze.

[talk-it-out-outsiders-smp]

Alright here again but this time I take my happy Au and offer you sadness. Please enjoy sad head cannons from this Au

-Through Reddons does call all of the Outsiders friends he has trouble feeling connected to the demons or humans since he covers his face the entire time and no one knows what he is and he never feels like theirs a good time to share

-Mohwee gets panicked if he loses sight of people who come into the maze with him, he logically knows they won’t leave him behind but he can’t help but be jumpy

-When Krow does find out that It’s not actually a Dragonborn and It’s just a normal Demon It feels terrible about it. It hates how terrible the news makes It feel even more though because It hates who It was before, It doesn’t want to be that person again, but It’s still so devastated to learn that It’s not special at all and It falls in a viscous cycle of self loathing over it

-Beks never gets to properly preform for an audience that isn’t the Outsiders and though she refuses to fixate on it, it leaves a whole in her heart. It’s a dream she will never be able to achieve.

-Acho refuses to go swimming for a long time after his drowning incident

-Magic becomes so fixated on ending all of the Maze business and the orphanage that the others have to hold an intervention to finally get her to stop running herself into the ground

-Guts doesn’t want to be alone again after leaving the maze but doubts that anyone would want to stick with them when they all seem to have much better friends

-When Owen and Apo meet up in the maze they both reveal to the other they got their memories back but try to hide it from the rest of clearing because they don’t want to ruin things just as they’re calming down so for weeks after coming back to the clearing they isolate from the others

-During that time Owen seriously consider just disappearing into the Maze because he’s scared that he might still hurt someone through the prejudice that he’s only now starting to unlearn

-The fact that they hide this made things even worse when Rasbi finally gets her own memories back.

-Ayngel’s siblings don’t recognize her at first when she finally gets home

-After leaving the maze but before splitting off into groups the stress of everything catches up to Graecie finally and she just breaks down in sadness and anger and now that no one’s life rest on her keeping her cool she just can’t process everything and for several days she is inconsolable

-Ori blames himself for what happened to Clearing 2 because he technically pulled the levers first

-Magic and Owen have a big blow up fight because Magic feels like Owen is protecting her too much and refusing to let her stand up for herself and during this argument Owen brings up Squidney almost dying last time he trusted Magic to handle herself and she just froze up and he and Mohwee had to step in to save both of their lives.

-When Bekyamon loses loses her leg to trap in the maze she’s bleeding out she can’t stop thinking about how she never got a really chance to apologize so she writes a note out to everyone to let them know she’s sorry in case she dies and they find her body

-After getting injured while hunting the Griever when Squidney wakes up in Soup’s house she firmly believes she’s dead and for years and years after she still has days where she wakes up and thinks nothing is real and it’s just the afterlife.

-Oeca once tried to take his own eye out in hopes that it would make his other half go away.

-Before Krow and Kyle work out their issues fully Kyle gets lost in the dark maze and while dehydrated and hungry he hallucinates versions of Krow that mock and belittle him about dying alone with no one knowing what even happened to him. When he finally does make it back he can’t look Krow in the eyes for weeks after. Even after sometimes Krow’s jokes and jabs at him feel too personal and make him flinch.

- After setting up his home with Owen Apo will sometimes freak out while away from the house and come rushing back expecting everything to be burning down and destroyed.

-After a fight with Mohwee about him luring the creature away in the dark Maze Spidey in a rage breaks the very first Sussy she ever gave him

-Ayngel was once telling Oeca off for being reckless and accidentally called him by one of her siblings names

-Eventually it comes out to Rasbi’s family that she’s still in contact with Owen. The ensuing fight ends with Rasbi leaving her home for good, only visiting occasionally and always leaving randomly to make sure no one follows her. She realizes that she’s not the same Rasbi she had been before and she can’t truly be herself living there anymore, so she moves in with the rest of the Fruit Trio.

-Soup doesn’t know how to take care of herself at all, but refuses to burden others with her stress and exhaustion so a lot of the sleep she gets is her passing out from exhaustion alone while working on potions

-After getting his memories back Owen has no intention of surviving the Maze and fully plans to die protecting and helping the others escape, he considers it recompense for his crimes. He served his country to the bitter end and the outsiders deserve more of his loyalty than that city ever did. So when he does survive and suddenly has to deal with living life, with no duty, or higher purpose to ascribe to he feels more lost then he ever has.

-Every last one of the Outsiders has horrible nightmares about both inside and outside of the maze. It’s not unusual to find people up at all hours because they can’t sleep or had just woken up screaming.

-The paranoia over being dragged back to Maze and losing all their memories again never leaves any of them. It fades to almost nothing but they still fear it happening, no matter how unlikely it is, till the day they die.

[talk-it-out-outsiders-smp]

Ok time has passed so now I rant because I've processed. It burns me so much that they were friends! All the pictures at the end of Ayngels stream just showing off moments of them just goofing off hits so hard because they've been isolated together for so long and they had good moments together, its not been all pain and despair. Rasbi and Apo would watch Owen teach people to shoot, they threw snowballs at each other, the angst might leave a big impact but those little moments of happiness are what have kept all of the Outsiders going. The moments of laughter and happiness with each other has kept them sane in the clearing and now all those happy times are just bitter sweet memories.

Do they think about it sometimes now that things are so complicated?

Does Krow miss being able to talk with Bek? To laugh at her jokes or clap half heartedly at her performances? Can it think of Ayngel knowing it left her behind on that tree, it didnt even say goodbye. It's regressed back to who it was out of anger and a want to survive but in the back of it's mind does it still think about Tasia and Percy? Does it remember playing tag with Ayngel and Magic? Does it refuse to remember because a Dragonborn is above such things? Does a tiny little part of it hold those memories, locked in a little box of happy things it won't acknowledge but refuses to fully forget?

Will Gracie ever be able to think about sitting by the campfire with Owen without feeling sick about how he hurt so many people while she could do nothing to stop him, could she have stopped him if she didnt get injured. She and Spidey are the last of their clearing and how can she think of all those happy moments with them, without being crushed by their loss. Her memories of all of them cut off so sharply. She missed months of their lives and their deaths and now she carries all of their memories with her. All these people who were her only company for so long, her responsibility as theyre leader, and all she has left of all but one of her original clearing is the memories that haunt her.

When Reddons is alone in the maze, like he's been for so long Apo never came back to visit but at least he knows why now, does he remember moosus and the cow religion he formed? Does he think back fondly on jumping out from behind the stage at the elections covered in diamonds, wanting to impress and shock them. Does he think about the friends he never sees or speaks to anymore, ever regret not staying. Just for a little longer for a few more happy moments. Or does he drown all those memories in booze?

When Owen was killing Apo did he think about long days hanging out by they're little pond learning to fish? Did he remember afternoon's spent baking with Rasbi? Does he remember Guts wanting him not to see her as a liar because she respected him? When he was fighting Krow did he remember the convo they had where he said he didn't kill people?

Do they selfishly wish they had just stayed in the clearing? It's not the real world, not really home but at least they didn't feel so alone back then. Has it been worth it to them? Will they be any happier outsider of these walls, without the friends they once had?

[talk-it-out-outsiders-smp]

While I take a small break to be mad about perspective on my art I have some Au details I wanna talk about so long post of head canons and ideas I have

-Mohwee’s armor had two tally marks carved into it from Oeca as momento to the fact that he got lost in two of the four mazes for months at a time

-After becoming an official clearing leader Magic put up a “It’s been this many days since our last disaster” sign. Disasters can range from someone being hurt in the maze to realizing there’s no more coffee depending on whose changing the sign.

-Guts and Krow still had their deal about eating each other, which lasted about two weeks before they were both confronted by serval different clearing members worried about the unexplained injuries

-everyone was surprisingly cool about the eating each other thing, but everyone was pretty insistent on breaking Krow out of the habit. This just lead to people constantly bring it food so Krow unwillingly hosted many dinner events just to get rid of all the food it has.

-Before peoples memories started coming back Apo hosted theory nights where people would come to share there most ridiculous or outlandish theories.

-Since returning to the clearing Beks and some of the others put on plays to entertain the rest of the clearing hits include, the Ballade of the Griever and an Oeca-mas Tale

-After getting his memories back Owen’s chip, which had been damaged during the fight with Ori, short circuited and Owen spent some time in his coma state reconciling the Owen who existed in the maze and who he was before.

-After things settle down and Krow ends up becoming a Runner leader Acho milks the fact that Krow almost killed him for all it’s worth to not only tease it but guilt it into doing things he wants

-Apo didn’t cut off his own horns but got severely injured in his attempt to get back to the clearing after he ditched Bek, this is the same incident that busted his chip

-Because of how much Ori sits in his tree and watches the clearing people climb up there all the time to leave him stupid signs or gifts since they know he’ll find them there.

-Squidney and Spidey continue to sell Sussies to everyone, making everyone in the clearing a custom one (ie an orange one for Owen, Red and Black for Krow, Purple for Ayngel)

-Gracie and Magic try to run more competition and stuff for fun but have to put very strict rules on what’s allowed because everyone starts getting a little too competitive after Red starts having people bet on winners and losers.

-Red does the same thing for the sparring matches Owen sets up to teach people to fight.

-Soup plays doctor a lot in the clearing but people also tend to go to her hoping for potions to solve even the most mundane issues but since she doesn’t charge for potions people just bring her things they think she’ll like so her whole house is covered in shiny bits and bobbles and her bag is covered in pins people make for her

-No one really likes talking about their lives outside of the Maze outside of the occasional heavier conversations but Rasbi especially hates talking about it because Spidey, Kyle, Oeca, Krow, Mohwee, Bek, and Ori all start calling her your majesty (some jokingly but some seriously)

-Ayngel’s certainly not the oldest in the clearing she can’t help but mother hen most of the others like she did her siblings, admonishing them for getting hurt or cheering them up when they’re having a bad day.

-Everyone forgot to mention the Evil Oeca thing to Kyle and Acho so one day Oeca is showing Acho how to throw knives and just stops talking for several seconds, then he just randomly gets tackled by Ori which scares the hell out of both of the newbies. Ori struggles to explain what’s happen while sitting on Oeca whose’s hissing and spitting about killing Acho

-Gracie or Rasbi usually cut everyone’s hair

-Since the whole lever thing was cleared up Guts wants to use the prison to hold a watcher if they can catch one to hopefully get some answers about getting out of here

-After Getting out of the Maze (all alive, but not in one piece) the Outsiders do split off from each other but keep some contact and visit often

-Apo and Owen have no one else left in their lives and head off into the woods together, they make a nice cabin by a lake where Apo can fish and Owen can farm. Owen needs a cane from all the strain he’s put his body under and Apo makes the most of his missing horns and gets an array of different colored prosthetics so he can have fancy horns. They have lots of extra rooms so any of the Outsiders can stay whenever they want or need to

-Krow and Ayngel stick together, Krow needing to finish it’s unfinished business with its old cult and Ayngel wanting to see her siblings but being nervous about facing the rest of her family. Krow is more than thrilled to give Ayngels family a piece of its mind about them sending away Ayngel and Ayngel wants to help Krow get it’s closure so it can move on with its life. After everything settles down with there unfinished business they also settle down, pretty near Owen and Apo’s house

-Oece, Gracie, and Ori stick together because they’re not fully sure what they want to do and Oeca is afraid of slipping without at least one of the angels around and Ori wants to stay with Gracie. They do what Gracie never got to do before , they travel. It’s lots of fun, even if they’re technically wanted criminals. They retire eventually settling down somewhere near one of the others but there’s lots of the world to see first.

-The weirdest group to end up together is Soup, Reddons, and Guts for no other reason then after saying their tearful goodbyes to each other both Red and Guts walked away in the same direction and when they started to argue about who could go that way Soup just walked past both of them and told them to keep up with her or she was ditching them, naturally they followed her. Red wants to capitalize on Soup’s potion making skills and they settle down in some small no name town and open up a store that becomes well known to common people as a place willing to help you even if you have no money

-Mohwee, Squidney, and Spidey don’t even think about splitting up, they’ve never been very good at making friends so they travel together and don’t take a break for even a day to start causing issues. They dive head first into becoming Robin Hood figures, stealing from the rich and cruel and leaving the wealth for those who need it and running off before anyone can catch them, after all they have plenty of practice of both running and fighting why not put it to use on something.

-Magic, Bek , Kyle and Acho Magic has her memory back but she’s not ready to let go of everything she went through and she really doesn’t want anyone to have to go thorough what she did and Bek wanting to make up to Magic for those she hurt her, and she still wielding her big sword, decides to help her try to take the whole maze thing down. Kyle hears the plan and though he tries to deny it he wants to help. At first he denies it because he doesn’t want to leave Acho or drag him into more problems but Acho is the one to insist that they help since they wouldn’t want the other to have to fight the whole system alone.

-Rasbi goes home after leaving the Maze. She wants to go back to her family and her kingdom and even though they can’t publicly welcome her back her remaining family is happy to have her back. She does end up splitting a lot of her time between home and the rest of the Fruit trio, though she never tells her family that’s who she’s going to see when she leaves the kingdom (they may find out one day but that’s a house fire for later)

-After leaving the Maze all the Outsiders try to meet up at one place to at least once a year to hang out all together again and talk about how life’s been, it’s usual Christmas/Oecamas time
