#possibility recordings

[bitey-anons-off-time]

*its a recording of a far gone possibility

*smiley is darting through a labrynth of nearly invisible shifting shield spells and other defensive magic

*screaming as they blast through golem after golem with blasts of light magic

VIC !

VIC ITS ME !

*the labrynth squeezed around smiley like a mage squinting their eyes

*smiley continued running for hours blasting elemental shields with their weaknesses when they were boxed in

*hearing louder and louder laughter and giggling as they reach the core of this dungeon they shutter at the stray thought, -the core of this labrynth manned by their friend

*eventually reaching the cores entryway pausing to rest, being careful not to fall asleep and hearing whispers of magic, things said that embedded themselves into the casters soul in the pursuit of magic

*whimpering as they recognized whispers that weren't shared with them before, hoping that their friend hadn't entirely lost their mind

*eventually entering the core of the dungeon labrynth and finding.....

*a twisted lump of plant roots and opaque defense magic that appeared to grin as another duo of mages slipped in to free the mad mage

*restructuring after the other duo undid their defensive magic to reveal a mage face down in their own plant magic, integrating their sight into their surroundings

*the rest of the recording glitched from extreme magic saturation but it looks like arduien got out and someone probably smiley managed to equalize their magic and unknowingly snap them out of their undiagnosed mages mania

*its a recording of a known possibility

*its a missing persons flyer for subway and firehouse, it looks around 7 months old and the number to call has been rubbed out by someone

*the camera pans up to quests who looks way younger then canon, putting out more fresh missing persons flyers and speaking to someone who looks like arduien but older in steel colored robes, who for these purposes will be speaking in blue

theres gotta be someone who knows where subway and firehouse went arduien

couldn't you get your sibling, ruby to work on finding them ?

mmhm

but they probably just got lost on one of those trips you talked to me about and got their phones smashed

NO !

those two are always careful to keep in contact and its been months, even if that were the case both of them would have called me from a phone booth by now

alright alright let me help you

*arduien picked up a small stack of missing flyers and subtlety smeared metallic ink in the phone number to call before starting to put up the flyers

*the recording cuts to a still of a newspaper article recording how many corpos had gone missing in the past months, the number is around 1330

*a headline about some noteable corpo being found dead is visible under the newspaper article

[bitey-anons-off-time]

*its a recording of a known possibility, this one appears to be in the bad ending route

*arduien is running through an almost infinite labrynthien set of hallway in subways manor, quickly ducking into a corner to not be spotted

*they look terrified and slightly malnourished, although not for lack of effort on subways part

*subways voice echoes through the hallway

Dear, it's almost time for dinner you shouldn't be entertaining those squirrels again the food will get cold

*he doesn't appear to be in his right mind, they were trying to escape that time as well

*arduien looks up at the walls and starts to climb spotting a part of the wall where they wont be spotted and hiding

*subway appears in the cameras view, wearing a dress he wouldn't have chosen for himself and looking around for arduien

Dear?

Oh where has My silly Husband gone off too now

*arduien is not married, not even to their actual partners, subway isn't married either but he was engaged once, not to arduien

*he looks up spotting arduien and starting to climb after them

Hubby its time for dinner, you cant stay in the garden all day

*and dragging them behind him far more roughly then he thinks he is

*arduien let out a blood curdling scream that no one heard

[bitey-anons-off-time]

*its a recording of a possibility

*arduien, entirely a vampire is in a standoff in a dark hallway with subway, who is clearly a vampire hunter from his attire

*arduien starts to corner him before suddenly startling and pinning him to the wall holding their hand to his mouth

quiet

theres a haunting here

*he starts to poke a wooden steak into their back before sensing what they did and paleing

*and they both stay like that for a long moment before the angry ghost passes and arduien starts to relax slightly

*immediately proven wrong in doing that by the wooden steak poking a bit further into their back

How do i know that you aren't tricking me into being turned

i- ? you dont ?

there isn't really a way to get you to trust my words even if im telling the truth

*he pokes it into their back a bit more

Dont play smart

are you going to kill me or just torture me ?

*he pokes it a bit further

*they sigh and fall limp only lightly licking the hunters shoulder, the steak being pulled out of their back by subways grip

*he looks horribly confused but he checks if they put themselves into a deep trance anyway

*he confirms that they have before inspecting them for their potential rank and finding it to be rather low

how did this one almost get me???

*quickly binding them in blessed rope and gagging them before unceremoniously plopping them over his shoulder and walking out into the night

[bitey-anons-off-time]

*its a recording of a dream ?

*its arduien standing taller then the camera wearing a blindfold marked with four eyes exuding the power that dream brackets did

*they gently scoop someone's face, that someone happens to be the pov at the moment and then speak

my dear paladin

dont hide your wounds i can get you to your supplies

*they sound, so tired, then their paladin speaks

(but) (but /ᐠ｡ꞈ｡ᐟ\) (i dont want to be burdensome)

dear.

i want to help you.

it would not be a burden to be open about it

you have not but one life now

*dream(?) arduien sighs and picks dream(?) brackets up letting their wings hang freely

(//////) (!)

see even holding you like this isn't a distress

my paladin you aren't a distress you are very very loved and you ought to know that by now

immortal or not it doesn't have any bearing on how loved you are

[bitey-anons-off-time]

*it's a recording of potential antics

*brackets is talking, entirely lost in thought as their text bubble trails behind them

*wrapping around their partner as they talked looking again and again for a solution to the problem that didn't involve sacrificing themselves

*startling flustered out if their train of thought when their partner gently tapped their shoulder with a detached limb

*quickly unwrapping him and poofing away the text bubble, their face still a bright cyan

*continuing to talk about how to solve the problem, now with their partner

*eventually finding a perfect solution, one that involved sacrificing several corpses and at least one cultist

[bitey-anons-off-time]

*its a recording of an odd past possibility

*a version of brackets almost falls down what was formerly their height

*their version of john rushing to hold them with many hands

*catching them mid air

*they both breathe a sigh of relief

*their version of john asking them if they're alright

*his version of brackets saying they were fine and something about a curse, a time based one

*gift popped their head through the door with a bundle of flowers in in their hands

*saying something like "not again" on seeing brackets affected by another stray curse from who knows how long ago

*his brackets cuddling into their johns palm

*leaving their former host and partner to deal with the curse because they dont remember it

[bitey-anons-off-time]

*its a recording of a potental loop (in gif form)
