Someone to care for you after you're gone

[thesaddestjanitor]

*fizzling of radio noises*

"H-hello? Can you hear me? I don't know if anyone's out there, but I found this little radio in the old house, and I figure I might as well try it.

I'm… I'm the only one left. All my friends…Sally…Frank… all of them, gone. And it's all my fault."

*crying can be barely heard over the static*

"I don't know how much time I have left. That darkness, the one I let out of the cracks, it got me too, and it'll eventually kill me, I know it."

*sigh*

"Worst part is I'm ok with that. But I figure, I guess something tells me, that as long as I'm alive I should make sure this never happens to anyone else."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the blog for Janitor, a Julie who looked too close into the cracks of her world and brought out something that never should've been seen. With her friends dead and home gone, she wanders the multiverse on a kind of "instinct", cleaning up dead worlds and resetting the ones that are lost beyond repair.

-FACTS-

Lives in an abandoned house in the woods, which she found after leaving the old neighborhood. Doesn't know how to find her way back from this place, and doesn't want to. Mondo depressed. Heavy smoker, and in general cares little for her own health & safety. Will viciously defend anyone she trusts enough to befriend though. Can no longer hear the flowers talking, it's all garbled static and screams now. Questions from others come through the little radio she found in the house, and which she keeps on her belt while traveling. Almost like it was put there just for her. As far as she knows, there's no one controlling her or telling her what to do. Her instincts guide her to wherever she needs to be. Self-taught surgeon/autopsy technician. Her methods are indelicate and sometimes brutal, but she tries her best.

Her left arm was horribly mangled by the initial corruption burst, leading to her needing to amputate it. She replaced it with the arm of her Barnaby as that was the only corpse left still intact enough to salvage.

Corruption continues to stick and spread though, and will likely eventually kill her. Is also hard of hearing on that side.

Keeps a few small mementos of her previous friends- a locket from Sally, a friendship bracelet from Frank, charms from all her siblings, and of course the arm.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In general, my only rules for RP with this blog are: no NSFW, no romance (not really comfy with that), no cAI, and don't be a dick. I'm kinda slow at answering asks, but I will try my best here!

Hey janitor

Hows Sally? :)

Hmm? Oh, yea we're doing alright. Certainly has more energy than I've seen from her before, which she seems pretty keen on using against...what was it we're after again?

@ask-pinki-and-star-blue

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

Its Rainbow we are looking for, remember?

I'm sure I'll be mostly alright

[thesaddestjanitor]

"Ah right, right. Gotcha."

*she starts scanning the treeline, which is mostly empty and eerily still, as always*

"Don't see anywhere they could be hiding...how do we know what to look for?"

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

If you start to hear music, that means it's nearby..but other than that? Just look for anything out of place like a bright colored object in a room filled with dark colored objects for example

[thesaddestjanitor]

"heh, well that probably wouldn't be too hard to notice."

*she is right. Even after being healed, the forest around Janitor's house looks a lot like this*

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

I suppose so..However, we still need to keep our guard up

*The star takes a look around* Nothing unusual yet

[thesaddestjanitor]

"I'll tell you what's unusual...I've never actually heard birdsong around here bef-"

*SNAP*

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

Oh my goodness- Julie, are you alright??

[thesaddestjanitor]

"Motherfuck- AAAAAH!!!!!"

*she's lying on the ground, leg caught in a snare trap made of sharp wire. She's bleeding pretty badly, and it looks like the sudden snap may have twisted or broken a bone.*

*the birdsongs have stopped. There were never any birds.*

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

*rushes towards them* Hey..just breathe

I'll- I'll try to find something to help with the bleeding

[thesaddestjanitor]

"G-get me out of it first! Get me out!!"

*she's sobbing, and instinctively yanking her leg to try and pull it free, which only makes the barbs cut deeper. the end tied to a nearby tree rattles and scrapes at her motion, cutting into the thin sapling almost as deeply as it has on Janitor*

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

*Blue immediately goes to help Janitor free from the trap as best as she can* try to hold still..

[thesaddestjanitor]

*sniff* "o-ok..."

*she's still shivering, but she's dug her fingers into the dirt and is trying her best to stop panicking*

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

*after a little bit she finally got them out* I got it out..*looks at the injury* are you okay? That looks like it really hurts

[thesaddestjanitor]

"You th..." *she starts a snappy comment, then swallows it*

"I-it does. I'll be ok though, not like I haven't been in pain before."

*slowly sitting up, she puts a little weight on the foot, then yelps*

"o-ooookk...hhhh...th-that definitely broke something..."

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

Can you walk?

[thesaddestjanitor]

"...maybe. probably, yes. Just uhh..."

*she hands Blue her knife*

"Here. Cut some branches off this tree, I can probably splint it well enough for now."

*she starts ripping one of her shirt sleeves off to make a bandage*

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

Alright *starts to cut off some branches* We need to be careful, just in case we stumble into anymore traps

*sighs* I just hope Pinki and Duckie are doing well..

[thesaddestjanitor]

"Yeah...me too..."

*meanwhile, back at the house, Duckie has put Pinki in the bathtub because he wasn't sure of what else to do*

"How are you feeling? Any better?"

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

a little bit better..*small pause* this voice thing isn't fun anymore though..

[thesaddestjanitor]

"Well...maybe I can help? Maybe you just need to remember what you sound like"

*he thinks for a moment*

"Was this more like it?"

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

I- I think so but I'm still not sure..

[thesaddestjanitor]

"Oh! That sounds more like you!" *his pitch lowers a little bit, sounding more like Pinki's normal voice* "Just uhh..."

*he can see that's still shaky and nervous, so Duckie sits down on the bathroom floor and begins to sing*

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine..."

*she is right. Even after being healed, the forest around Janitor's house looks a lot like this*

[thesaddestjanitor]

Hey janitor

Hows Sally? :)

Hmm? Oh, yea we're doing alright. Certainly has more energy than I've seen from her before, which she seems pretty keen on using against...what was it we're after again?

@ask-pinki-and-star-blue

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

Its Rainbow we are looking for, remember?

I'm sure I'll be mostly alright

[thesaddestjanitor]

"Ah right, right. Gotcha."

*she starts scanning the treeline, which is mostly empty and eerily still, as always*

"Don't see anywhere they could be hiding...how do we know what to look for?"

[thesaddestjanitor]

Hey janitor

Hows Sally? :)

Hmm? Oh, yea we're doing alright. Certainly has more energy than I've seen from her before, which she seems pretty keen on using against...what was it we're after again?

@ask-pinki-and-star-blue

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

How are you doing, Pinki?

I'm fine i- just need to rest

*her voice is changing rapidly, switching from her own voice to winners to failures even blues voice, she seems really...stressed? Scared? I'm not sure but either way shes not doing good*

[thesaddestjanitor]

*Janitor walks in, happily carrying the fixed piano*

"Heeey Pinki, you ready for-"

*she notices her friend looking distressed*

"Hey, are...are you feeling ok?"

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

J-janitor!? I'm- I'm fine

[thesaddestjanitor]

"You're obviously not, your voice is all...glitchy and..."

*checking her over carefully, Janitor's eyes widen in fear as they come away sticky and pink*

"...what the fuck??????"

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

What is it? *Pinki is starting to melt a little, she doesn't seem to notice* did I do something wrong?

[thesaddestjanitor]

"Y-you're...melting!"

*Janitor sounds extremely distressed, in fact she's starting to cry. She tries wiping the stuff off her hands and back onto...into...Pinki, but it just makes more of a mess*

"No...nonono this can't happen again..."

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

*Pinki finally noticed that she is indeed melting* Oh gosh I'm sorry..! I'll tr-try to clean myself up *she ties to herself but it doesn't work much so she instead tries to calm herself down which helps a lot better but she's still melting* please don't cry..

[thesaddestjanitor]

"What do you mean? Are- are you hurt? Should I get help? Oh god...I don't know what to do..."

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

Yeah- I'm in pain *Breathing heavily, still trying to calm down* get Blue.. she'll probably know what to do

[thesaddestjanitor]

"Ok...ok..."

*she takes a few deep breaths to calm herself down, then turns in the direction of where Duckie and Blue had been earlier*

"BLUE! COME QUICKLY, PINKI NEEDS HELP!"

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

Wh- WHAT?? *Blue immediately runs towards her* whats happening? Is she okay?

[thesaddestjanitor]

"She...she's melting, and glitchy, and in pain...I...I don't know what to do..."

"Wait...melting? Oh no, it...that wouldn't be happening again right? We got rid of the sludge!"

"I really hope it isn't..."

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

Melting? Glitchy? Does that mean-

B-blue? Is that you?

Oh gosh *looks at janitor* do you remember what happened before she got like this?

*Pinki is trying to hold blues hand for comfort* whats "the sludge"?

[thesaddestjanitor]

"The uhh...the rot that was...Oh god..." *she's hyperventilating*

"Hey hey, c-calm down! One question at a time I guess. What was Pinki doing?"

"She..." *Janitor takes a deep breath*

"I was bringing the instruments in so we could get started, and then I noticed Pinki looked really upset, and her voice kept changing. So I tried to see what's wrong and-"

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

Oh..gosh *blue takes a step back* Rainbow you asshole

R-rainbow? *gasp* don't tell me you think it-

Yeah.

Oh no

[thesaddestjanitor]

"W-wait Rainbow? Who is that? Please tell me what's going on."

"Is it not my fault?"

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

Rainbow was basically the home of me and pinkis au..it was a god that could make things happen to us like we were puppets. It didn't allow Pinki to show any negative emotion and a side effect to that is whenever she feels too many negative emotions at once she just starts to melt

Mhm..but it only happens when it's nearby

Yea so it isn't your fault, Janitor

it's Rainbows fault

[thesaddestjanitor]

"It..."

*like a switch has been flipped, Janitor immediately stops crying and now looks tense with anger*

"I'll find this Rainbow then. God or no God, no one hurts my friends like that. And they especially don't get to come into my house to do it!"

*Duckie sighs* "Oh boy, here we go again..."

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

Heck yeah! and nobody hurts my wife and gets away with it *she looks very determined to find Rainbow*

"Here we go" indeed..

[thesaddestjanitor]

*Janitor looks back at Pinki for a moment, eyes softening*

"Will you be alright to stay here for a bit? Duckie can keep an eye on you while we're gone."

"Aww :( I wanted to fight God!"

"Absolutely not kid, I'm not letting you put yourself in danger. Stay here, hopefully this won't take too long."

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

Okay.. just b-be careful out the-there *gives a small smile*

Duckie you aren't gonna fight God *short pause* at least wait 'til yer older

[thesaddestjanitor]

*Duckie grumbles a little, but sits down next to Pinki, checking her carefully while also trying not to touch her too much. Meanwhile, Janitor starts heading to the front hallway*

"So how exactly are we gonna find this guy? And do you think we'll need weapons? I have some stuff around that could do the job pretty well."

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

We just need to look for the most colorful and out of place stuff around..and yes, we definitely need weapons

[thesaddestjanitor]

*Janitor nods, then goes back to the workshop and returns with a few things*

"The shotgun's mine, but you can have your pick of whatever else is here."

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

You- you had these the entire time? *She takes the axe and the net*

[thesaddestjanitor]

*Janitor is quiet for a moment*

"I never really told you what my "job" is, did I? Why they call me Janitor?"

*she sighs*

"It's been such a long time since I had to do any of that, had almost hoped to put it all behind me."

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

I just thought Janitor was your name but now that I know it ain't your name..why do people call you that in the first place?

[thesaddestjanitor]

"...It's not something I like doing. But I guess it's the price I pay for living here, the job I signed up for when this world took me in. Worlds like ours, well, you'd know as well as I do that stuff can...break with those, and sometimes what's broken can't be easily fixed. That's when it calls me, God or the universe or whatever, I don't really know or care."

*she picks up a knife and brandishes it dramatically, but in a way that Blue can tell isn't a threat*

"I'm the Grim Reaper. The Cosmic Reset Button. If I'm lucky that's all I have to do- cut away all the tangles and weeds, wipe the memories and it's back to square one. Less lucky is when I get there and they're all dead, with no one but me to plant that garden and say goodbye. Lock the door when I leave, no going back. And if it's the worst kind..."

*staring at her reflection in the knife's blade, she takes a moment before speaking again*

"The worst kind's why I have these."

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

Oh my gosh i- *takes a deep breath* it..it must be hard to have that as your Job but at least you are there for them when nobody else is able too! The grim reaper may be the angel of death but they are still an angel

[thesaddestjanitor]

*this time she's quiet for a while, until Blue hears a sniffle*

"I...thank you..."

*she quickly wipes her eyes (the knife still in hand, and swiping dangerously close to her face at least once) and takes a deep breath to stop crying*

"A-anyway, no time for being sappy! There's hunting to do."

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

Hey uh careful with that knife

Oh! And yeah, let's go hunt

[thesaddestjanitor]

"Whuh? O-oh, heh, right 😅"

*she tosses the knife back into the pile*

"Gotta remember to be more careful now- yea let's go :)"

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

We should make a plan, we don't know what it'll do or when it'll show up

[thesaddestjanitor]

"Hmm, yea, probably for the best. Well...what's it like? Like, what can it do? If I know what we're up against, I can start there."

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

It can summon puppet strings and attach it to people to try and control them. It can also use peoples trauma against them, like making them relive it

[thesaddestjanitor]

"T-trauma?" *she sounds scared for a minute, then quickly shakes it off & puts on a brave face*

"Th-that's...that's nothing, I do that to myself already. And as long as I don't uhh...get grabbed, we- we should be fine, yeah."

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

Yes but are you alright? You sound..frightened *Blue asked*

[thesaddestjanitor]

"No! Nonono, I'm...I'm tough, I'm fine. Don't worry about it."

*she runs a hand through her hair and laughs, just a little too loud*

"S-so...how do we catch a god? Should we build some kind of trap, or look for signs?"

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

How are you doing, Pinki?

I'm fine i- just need to rest

*her voice is changing rapidly, switching from her own voice to winners to failures even blues voice, she seems really...stressed? Scared? I'm not sure but either way shes not doing good*

[thesaddestjanitor]

*Janitor walks in, happily carrying the fixed piano*

I'm fine i- just need to rest

*her voice is changing rapidly, switching from her own voice to winners to failures even blues voice, she seems really...stressed? Scared? I'm not sure but either way shes not doing good*

[thesaddestjanitor]

*Janitor walks in, happily carrying the fixed piano*

"Heeey Pinki, you ready for-"

*she notices her friend looking distressed*

"Hey, are...are you feeling ok?"

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

J-janitor!? I'm- I'm fine

[thesaddestjanitor]

"You're obviously not, your voice is all...glitchy and..."

*checking her over carefully, Janitor's eyes widen in fear as they come away sticky and pink*

"...what the fuck??????"

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

What is it? *Pinki is starting to melt a little, she doesn't seem to notice* did I do something wrong?

[thesaddestjanitor]

"Y-you're...melting!"

*Janitor sounds extremely distressed, in fact she's starting to cry. She tries wiping the stuff off her hands and back onto...into...Pinki, but it just makes more of a mess*

"No...nonono this can't happen again..."

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

*Pinki finally noticed that she is indeed melting* Oh gosh I'm sorry..! I'll tr-try to clean myself up *she ties to herself but it doesn't work much so she instead tries to calm herself down which helps a lot better but she's still melting* please don't cry..

[thesaddestjanitor]

"What do you mean? Are- are you hurt? Should I get help? Oh god...I don't know what to do..."

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

Yeah- I'm in pain *Breathing heavily, still trying to calm down* get Blue.. she'll probably know what to do

"Ok...ok..."

*she takes a few deep breaths to calm herself down, then turns in the direction of where Duckie and Blue had been earlier*

"BLUE! COME QUICKLY, PINKI NEEDS HELP!"

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

Wh- WHAT?? *Blue immediately runs towards her* whats happening? Is she okay?

[thesaddestjanitor]

"She...she's melting, and glitchy, and in pain...I...I don't know what to do..."

"Wait...melting? Oh no, it...that wouldn't be happening again right? We got rid of the sludge!"

"I really hope it isn't..."

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

Melting? Glitchy? Does that mean-

B-blue? Is that you?

Oh gosh *looks at janitor* do you remember what happened before she got like this?

*Pinki is trying to hold blues hand for comfort* whats "the sludge"?

[thesaddestjanitor]

"The uhh...the rot that was...Oh god..." *she's hyperventilating*

"Hey hey, c-calm down! One question at a time I guess. What was Pinki doing?"

"She..." *Janitor takes a deep breath*

"I was bringing the instruments in so we could get started, and then I noticed Pinki looked really upset, and her voice kept changing. So I tried to see what's wrong and-"

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

Oh..gosh *blue takes a step back* Rainbow you asshole

R-rainbow? *gasp* don't tell me you think it-

Yeah.

Oh no

[thesaddestjanitor]

"W-wait Rainbow? Who is that? Please tell me what's going on."

"Is it not my fault?"

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

Rainbow was basically the home of me and pinkis au..it was a god that could make things happen to us like we were puppets. It didn't allow Pinki to show any negative emotion and a side effect to that is whenever she feels too many negative emotions at once she just starts to melt

Mhm..but it only happens when it's nearby

Yea so it isn't your fault, Janitor

it's Rainbows fault

[thesaddestjanitor]

"It..."

*like a switch has been flipped, Janitor immediately stops crying and now looks tense with anger*

"I'll find this Rainbow then. God or no God, no one hurts my friends like that. And they especially don't get to come into my house to do it!"

*Duckie sighs* "Oh boy, here we go again..."

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

Heck yeah! and nobody hurts my wife and gets away with it *she looks very determined to find Rainbow*

"Here we go" indeed..

[thesaddestjanitor]

*Janitor looks back at Pinki for a moment, eyes softening*

"Will you be alright to stay here for a bit? Duckie can keep an eye on you while we're gone."

"Aww :( I wanted to fight God!"

"Absolutely not kid, I'm not letting you put yourself in danger. Stay here, hopefully this won't take too long."

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

Okay.. just b-be careful out the-there *gives a small smile*

Duckie you aren't gonna fight God *short pause* at least wait 'til yer older

[thesaddestjanitor]

*Duckie grumbles a little, but sits down next to Pinki, checking her carefully while also trying not to touch her too much. Meanwhile, Janitor starts heading to the front hallway*

"So how exactly are we gonna find this guy? And do you think we'll need weapons? I have some stuff around that could do the job pretty well."

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

We just need to look for the most colorful and out of place stuff around..and yes, we definitely need weapons

[thesaddestjanitor]

*Janitor nods, then goes back to the workshop and returns with a few things*

"The shotgun's mine, but you can have your pick of whatever else is here."

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

You- you had these the entire time? *She takes the axe and the net*

[thesaddestjanitor]

*Janitor is quiet for a moment*

"I never really told you what my "job" is, did I? Why they call me Janitor?"

*she sighs*

"It's been such a long time since I had to do any of that, had almost hoped to put it all behind me."

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

I just thought Janitor was your name but now that I know it ain't your name..why do people call you that in the first place?

[thesaddestjanitor]

"...It's not something I like doing. But I guess it's the price I pay for living here, the job I signed up for when this world took me in. Worlds like ours, well, you'd know as well as I do that stuff can...break with those, and sometimes what's broken can't be easily fixed. That's when it calls me, God or the universe or whatever, I don't really know or care."

*she picks up a knife and brandishes it dramatically, but in a way that Blue can tell isn't a threat*

"I'm the Grim Reaper. The Cosmic Reset Button. If I'm lucky that's all I have to do- cut away all the tangles and weeds, wipe the memories and it's back to square one. Less lucky is when I get there and they're all dead, with no one but me to plant that garden and say goodbye. Lock the door when I leave, no going back. And if it's the worst kind..."

*staring at her reflection in the knife's blade, she takes a moment before speaking again*

"The worst kind's why I have these."

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

Oh my gosh i- *takes a deep breath* it..it must be hard to have that as your Job but at least you are there for them when nobody else is able too! The grim reaper may be the angel of death but they are still an angel

[thesaddestjanitor]

*this time she's quiet for a while, until Blue hears a sniffle*

"I...thank you..."

*she quickly wipes her eyes (the knife still in hand, and swiping dangerously close to her face at least once) and takes a deep breath to stop crying*

"A-anyway, no time for being sappy! There's hunting to do."

[ask-pinki-and-star-blue]

Hey uh careful with that knife

Oh! And yeah, let's go hunt

[thesaddestjanitor]

"Whuh? O-oh, heh, right 😅"

*she tosses the knife back into the pile*

"Gotta remember to be more careful now- yea let's go :)"
