Ha ha you buffoons! I’m going to ramble now!! On what exactly? On an AU for the LD crew/TH crew I thought up of with @appri-dot!
(Warning for death mention, mental breakdowns of sorts, and betrayal(??? At least on one side and the other like?? Uh?? Betrayal is some sort of fashion??)
(Do remember this is an AU! Which I have nicknamed ‘lost to memory and time’ aka ‘LTMT’ though this name hasn’t been confirmed for this silly ol AU :]!)
I also might edit this later on cause I might of made a few mistakes with the time line!
So first thing is that the huge deal about this au is one simple fact, as you probably know from Appri, Cabbi was murdered! (Oh no!) now if you have seen my revisions to Elec, you would know that Elec was a serial killer pre-parasite!
So in this Au, Elec when he was human killed Cabbi in the past, making Cabbi who he is today! The thing is Elec though does remember that specific card with a very specific name on the desk of the person he killed, he doesn’t recognize Cabbi as the same person
So for awhile everything is kind of normal, like of course it’s not normal but everything is going smoothly. But after being friends around after Cabbi died, then to being enemies, then Cabbi and Elec kinda getting Close again!
But in this au, Cabbi let’s little somethings slip once and awhile, Small little things about his past, or a little detail more human like than the rest...and he absolutely did not mean to! something about Elec is that if you can do it just right, instead of causing immense pain by biting his wires, you can actually trigger them for Elec! now why did I mention that? Well in this AU Cabbi found out about this, and so every time he would slip up anything, he’d trigger Elec’s blue wire, (this is assumed to happen multiple times!)
Now...something happens to Cabbi (the example appi gave me was water), either way, Cabbi regains his memory, ALL OF IT. Of course Cabbi is just plain not okay, like worse than just ‘Not okay’, best way to describe it is how Appi did, so here’s a a direct quote
“If Cabbi got a memory refresh..depending on the AU our ghost pal would have a few words with Elec, but probably immediately go mad crazy, don't even think Tone could help, he'd be crying for awhile, and then maybe be able to stand back up and run away, where? Who cares, he doesn't have to care, that all ended years ago” -Appri 2020
That kind of not okay, now in the confrontation with Elec, Cabbi would go into explain every single time he used that blue wire against Elec, of course he expected some sort of response of fear, he was the one who had a knife after all, but Elec would be petrified, reminding Cabbi of when he was murdered...
Now there’s three endings at this point! The good, the neutral, and the bad. I’ll quote Appi once again, (I’ll explain neutral and bad more, good is well... a good ending, so it isn’t as long as the others)
“Good ending: Cabbi just cries and they end up holding onto Elec as they stutter and not letting go Neutral ending: Crazed Elec on an abandoned ship pondering when Cabbi will come back to kill him Bad ending: there's one final drawing on Elec's desk of cabbi with blood on his teeth and a smile...in a different style” -Appri 2020.... again.
Now to explain the last two, there was a picture appi drew (I won’t repost it but it was Cabbi saying ‘I please...plea..se tell me why... why me...’Basically, very sad ]:) and Elec’s response realizing EVERYTHING and what he did this is a case of Elec would ‘split’. Aka Elec and the parasite’s conscience Would unmeld,)
This would cause Elec to be a stuttering mess, Elec would be arguing with himself (since Elec killed for fun! He didn’t care who he killed he just wanted to feel that wave of euphoria again, and Cabbi’s home was the closest! But the parasite feels guilty in place of Elec and knows Elec himself even now does feel guilt, since he dehumanized people when they killed them.... but he knew Cabbi now... and well he does feel bad that he killed someone that..l that had a life! But Elec wouldn’t admit it, so Elec would verbally be arguing with the parasite while the parasite tries to say sorry to Cabbi!) (From now on I’ll be talking about Neutral ending and Bad ending) now last time I quote appi I swear but I can’t paraphrase well enough to give the same feeling. But basically in this situation Both of the respective lovers (Tone and Flicker) found the situation Elec and Cabbi were in,
“If the 2 were to be found by someone, possibly each of their respective lovers, cabbi would leave Elec there a distressed mess, but not before hovering his teeth scarily close to his wires, as a last "fuck you" *Flicker opening the door to Elec's office to see him mumbling and frantically looking around with the eye of cabbi in the shadows watching their every movement* MWAHAHAHA cabbi is a mad, and sad :(, and will go back to his ship” -you know who said this at this point it’s the third time dude 2020
This would cause Elec to go insane, like, he’d close himself off from anyone even Flicker couldn’t get to Elec for as Elec would begin to fear that Cabbi was messing with him! He was messing with Elec’s memories surely! He clearly hired all of Elec’s crew to betray him!! That’s it!! Absolutely! (It wasn’t the case h- Cabbi from my knowledge just kinda vibes in his ship besides at one point in the bad ending)
But Elec kicks everyone from his crew off the ship, Elec then would be the crazy man of space, for years and years he’d draw on the walls and floors and even the ceiling drawings of Cabbi that progressively gets more and more and more detailed
Here’s a doodle of that I did h- the lights would all be off so it is kinda hard to see the doodles! But their there! (Plus a random ref I had to do for myself since Elec’s madness would kinda make Elec draw Cabbi differently then how can I actually is and like sometimes Elec draw cabbi tall, short, all the drawing differ a LOT besides a few)
(Btw most of the words on the walls are like ‘sorrysorrysorry’ ‘its it’s my fault why why why’ ‘he’s coming I’m going to die this is it’ ‘coming’ ‘fault mine’ ‘flicker where are you’ though the last one isn’t repeated, ‘i killed him’ ‘how did I never know’ ‘the wires...’)
Now that’d be the end of the neutral ending, Elec left to be forever scared of death, a death that will never come!
Now the bad ending is just the neutral ending with Elec most evidently well.... well with Elec being correct with his theories... even if the correct theories will kill Elec in the end ]:
To finish this off have a final funny quote by appi to Lighten the mood (post-bad ending)
Random person who entered the ship: *looking at pictures drawn by Elec and pictures of Cabbi being a monster* hey..red guy..what does this mean?
Cabbi chewing on half of the blue wire that wasn't eaten and smiling: maybe it was some crazy mans last words? How should I know?
