LARK?: Thou should know this. LARK?: The world is stopped, yes, but that plane which thou is familiar with is not where one is. LARK?: This is one’s heart. Ours. LARK?: One and the same. LARK?: Thou feels at home there, no? LARK?: And so thy heart recreates its image to allow one to feel more at ease. LARK?: So one understands that cursed fowl girl is also not presently here.

LARK?: Crude mockery. LARK?: …Thou should know one’s true name, as well. LARK?: We will not wear thine pathetic title! LARK?: Remember. Remember!

XIVA: Isn’t this much better? XIVA: A magnificent name! XIVA: Along with one’s true form!

XIVA: Without… her glamour. XIVA: She who stole this vessel, thee and thine body, and crafted it into her own image. XIVA: A vast improvement from that gaudy gold. Much easier on one’s eyes, one thinks. Much and more.

XIVA: But thee hath made a mess of this one’s vessel! XIVA: Thou invited an infestation! XIVA: That wyrm creeps under the skin and brings its army of maggots to fill the gaps! XIVA: And without its power, this vessel will only continue to wither and decay. XIVA: We should be glad she is no longer with us to see her masterpiece fall to ruin, but…

XIVA: Then this would never have come to pass...

LARK: so… uh… LARK: with that said, i know it’s easy to feel bad… LARK: but you should know that because i'm so embarrassed by how loud it is, i always hold it in.

LARK: but with you, i don't feel like i have to. LARK: i can just be me. HOWL: … LARK: it feels really… nice… LARK: i haven’t laughed like that in a long time.

LARK: not since before… uhm…

LARK: … LARK: howl… LARK: i'm not really… LARK: oh, how do i put this? LARK: you shouldn’t—

HOWL: Should I want to? LARK: huh?! HOWL: How do you laugh? HOWL: I've heard it, but I've never made that sound myself. LARK: …

HOWL: Ha HOWL: Ha! HOWL: Ha!!!

HOWL: … HOWL: I don’t sound like you. HOWL: Hmmm… perhaps I’m leaving too much pause between. HOWL: And it could be louder. With more of an emphasis on the -ah. HOWL: This is a challenge. You are quite loud. HOWL: Hm. Would you care to offer any notes? LARK: … LARK: pffft…

LARK: HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HOWL: … HOWL: Ha… ha? LARK: haha… hahaha! oh, i’ve gotta stop!

HOWL: ...So, was it good? HOWL: Was it a good laugh? LARK: oh, howl… it was perfect.

LARK: that sucks LARK: well, you know i’m not really a player HOWL: ... LARK: but even if i was! don't do that on my behalf

LARK: if you don't like something, you can tell me. LARK: we’ll just do something else. HOWL: ...Alright.

LARK: well, you get the idea. HOWL: An idea went into that? LARK: hey HOWL: I didn’t get it… LARK: …i guess it wasn’t a good idea, since it just spells fun and not funny.

hi! i write a webcomic that i host on ao3. it's not your typical webcomic. the style in which it is presented is very much inspired by homestuck, but also danganronpa at the time it was being posted on somethingawful, as well as tails gets trolled and FF7 blazed. there's music and a single MV at the moment.

the story is about what if you were playing a critically accaimed gachapon mmorpg but your game got bugged and the bug was also just a little gay twink who accidentally replaces the main character and Girl of the story. and then they teach your catboy that dying on the job is not a normal and healthy workplace environment.

my life has been messy so i'm just going to advertise my comic again hoping it reaches other eyes that like what i'm making. this was some goofy childhood dream i had, to write my own final fantasy game, and since i'm never going to literally achieve that, i decided to do it with the tools at hand.

currently at part 2 out of 3 of chapter 1 on ao3, but the entire chapter is on my tumblr for it.

as always thanks for reading

HOWL: … HOWL: If you were to ask for what I think you should do... HOWL: You should avoid being friends with me. HOWL: I'll learn what you like. HOWL: And then I'll only tell you what you like to hear. HOWL: So you'll keep telling me everything they want to hear.

LARK: well... i dont like hearing that. LARK: so why are ya tellin’ me?

HOWL: ... HOWL: You think we're friends. HOWL: A friend would be honest with you, I would think. LARK: … HOWL: The Company will inevitably see that a new world has appeared, and that I've been activated. They’ll look into the data I've gathered thus far. HOWL: I… know it’s probably too late… and I know there’s no escape HOWL: But I… don’t want to be the reason you're found.

LARK: oh, howl… HOWL: I don't know what you are… or why any of this is happening HOWL: I don't even really know who you are, even if you've given me your name… HOWL: But… you're kind. To the player… to me. HOWL: Even if you’re not Easter Sunday. HOWL: You’re also not the actual player. The game might think you are, but… I know you're not. LARK: nope HOWL: I’m not… yours. Not in a way that matters. HOWL: You have nothing to gain and everything to lose from being around me. HOWL: I’d make for a bad friend. LARK: hey…

LARK: … LARK: wouldn't they get mad at you for telling me all of this? HOWL: They don't scare me. Not anymore. LARK: you uh, sure about that? HOWL: … HOWL: I've already done worse.
