“Bold of you to asume I don’t, I’m literally being tracked down by the diamonds after I scaped from Homeworld, that prism must have told them about me... but It’s fine, my little creation most be close to Homeworld by now~”
other favorites are things like, uh. he is incredibly loyal and protective. the way he tied the three of us together--it is still kind of intimidating sometimes but it works somehow. his sense of humor. he is ridiculously attractive, and really good at what he does. he has a zero tolerance policy for bullshit. he pushes me to do better and to be a better person.
uh, really hard? like imagine wanting to do right by someone, but times like two and a half. (the extra half is for their relationship.) imagine trying to do right by a cancer and a sagittarius both at once. but when everything goes right, oh my god.
it is also a little stressful for me because this is the first time i have dated a guy, let alone two guys at once who are also dating each other and we are all dating. a lot of the time i make some pretty serious mistakes and one of them gets hurt and i hate that. they are really patient with me, though, and i love them so much.
you know, this serum makes me tell the truth, but it doesn’t make the truth any easier to get out. let me wash my mouth out with some stoli and i can maybe tell this in a half coherent way.
ok. so.
when i was 13 i got a gift for my birthday that was a video game in beta that i had wanted to play for a long time. it was called sburb but fuck that, i just call it the game now. so it was a video game but it also kind of altered reality? i don’t understand a lot of it even now. rose knows a lot more about the mechanics just because she wrote the gamefaqs walkthrough for it back in the day but i have not talked to her in years.
so the game sort of sucked us in and altered our realities. the world ended. there were a lot of meteors. the game gave us new planets to do quests on so we were saved from armageddon. like all video games it had a level system but it was stupid names instead of numbers. and just like any other game you could godmode it eventually, not just through cheats but if you got super strong you could basically just coast your way through the whole thing. so think of it like that aspect of a video game at first.
once we got on our planets the goal was to get through quests to find our quest bed. none of us really understood what we were doing besides level grinding to get through the rest of the game easier. by the time we found our quest beds things were worse than ever. our session had a defect in it and the only way to save it was to reset it. we would have done anything.
as it turns out, the last thing you have to do before hitting godtier is die on your quest bed. the only way you can come back to life is if you still have your extra life, which is a whole other thing that is really complicated but i can just explain it as the person that is you walking around in dreams was basically our green mushroom. thankfully i still had that left.
i woke up with some nifty new pajamas and some neato new powers. i don’t remember much from right after i woke up but apparently i caused a huge shitstorm with the windy thing when i found out what vriska had been doing to jade.
and the game lied to us, by the way. becoming godtier was just the first step in trying to beat the session as a whole. we couldn’t become who we were supposed to be without being challenged by those titles and without facing our denizens. kind of the rulers of those planets we got. but at least it came with this new mechanic where we couldn’t die unless the death was heroic or just. there were... a lot of ways to kill us that still fit under those rules. but i got out alive. and apparently i still can’t die! or all of my deaths have been stupid instead of heroic or just.
my godtier title is Heir of Breath. there were other Heirs and other Breath players. the powers are tied to Breath. i never talked with tavros or his bancestor about what they were able to do. i don’t think tavros ever reached godtier in the main timeline and i have no clue what the other nitram’s class was. but what i can do is control wind and stuff. rose had a theory it was connected with animus, or something, some latin bullshit. that the reason i was the Heir of Breath was to keep our session motivated and to keep us all on one team. i was never very good at that, though. i already word vomited earlier about how we all fell apart once we got kicked out of the game.
now that we are out of the game, i can control some weather stuff. breath, air, wind, currents, pressure systems. i can make it storm holy hell. i can whip up tornadoes on the fly. waterspouts too. sometimes for fun i get struck by lightning or fall out of tornadoes because i have nothing else to do with my life and i just want it to be quiet for a few hours while i start to regenerate. sometimes it feels like the wind sings to me but that may just be wishful thinking. i also don’t need to breathe. so long as i have my Breath i can go without fresh air.
but yeah. the short story is i don’t fucking know how this happened. i just played a video game when i was 13 and it just happened. i don’t know if it is from game programming or if there was something legitimately supernatural involved and i don’t know how i would find that out.
