"The Virtual Mortis"

A glitch splitting off from the code of the game- a near perfect mimic of GenesisX- retaining what memories he still had, lacking her own agency and painfully aware of it- yet has no power over the situation. Spiteful, burdened with horrible memories- yet none of the life experience. ( Queerical Horrors blog )

Sliver of Freedom

"GenesisX" stood up, her neck craning to observe the area properly- eyes with no eyelashes or eyelids to shelter them boring into every inch of her new surroundings. The wrinkles at the sides of her smile tensed slightly, indicating she would've been pursing her lips (had she had any).

"Where am I?"

There are others.

"That is not an answer to my question, you know."

You are free from previous shackles.

You can have friends.

"GenesisX" laughed blithely- her pupils contracting before dilating once more. She tilted her head, ears flopping to the side.

"Ah, really now? And I'm inclined to believe you? How can I be sure this is not yet another cage- a reminder of what I've been through? Something to truly drive home my helplessness? The pain you will never allow me to ignore?"

What you've been through?

Pinch your nose and dive.

You'll come out on the other side.

"You've" done it before, hmh?

The glitch tensed her fingers, her permanent smile tightening at the ends- does she have a choice? If she did, the option of rejection was much too ugly for her to even consider.

A sense of normalcy.

Maybe that would be okay, maybe it wouldn't.

What else does she have going for her, anyways?

"GenesisX" jolted, immediately going to cover her face with her wiry fingers- nose and the corners of her permanent grin wrinkled.

"Oh, oh no- you're fine. What are you doing here, kiddo?"

The glitch registered the continuous humming in their surroundings- occasionally spoken over by the loud tapping of shoes across asphalt. She frowned the best she could with such a stagnant expression, the purple hedgehog was still here. Hopefully, she stayed back.

"How did you get here, for that matter?"

[transfemgenesisx]

"Ah- oh- oh goodness, please don't worry. It's okay! I bet there's a way out- don't cry, it's okay- 'm not mad nobody is mad..."

She sucked on her teeth, hesitating to remove her hands from her face to properly comfort the littler one. Eventually, she did. Eyes that bulged out of a barely blue- bordering on vantablack head- expressionless overall. No eyebrows to furrow or eyelids or eyelashes- no ability to squint or anything of the sort.

She gently placed her fingers on the little one's shoulders, crouching down to level with them.

"What's your name, buddy?"

The brush of fingers against the octopus- her black tipped index and middle making contact first-

It reminded her of the baby she never got to hold.

[computerizedinkwell]

> oouuwhh ...

> [This wasn't her fault, no, not at all. They didn't seem very scared at her appearance— in fact, being able to see her face seemed to lessen the crying.]

> sniffle ... 'm sterili— ster—

> s-t-e-r-i-l-i-z-e ... uhm ...

> everyone calls me steri ...

> [Their tentacles idly poked and prodded at her hands, akin to a bug mapping out it's surroundings.]

> whats yours, miss ..?

[transfemgenesisx]

"Steri. Okay. I'm.."

She hesitated, unable to figure out how to respond to this. Her fingers slightly pulled back into the tentacles, a reciprocation of the curiosity. She clicked her teeth together, as though instinctively going to bite her lip.

"I'm honestly not too sure, I apologize.."

Her eyes flitted down to her shoes, eyeing light blue buckles- her form nothing but something taken from someone else. Who is she?

Not the time.

"But, hey, we gotta get you home- right? You probably have lots of people who are missin' ya right now.."

She patted Steri's shoulders, offering a hand for the little octopus to take.

"Come, come."

[computerizedinkwell]

> w well ... uhm ... i can give you a name ..!

> [They tapped their pointers together thoughtfully, sucker-pawpads getting stuck together briefly as they did so.]

> i can call you ... aunty ruby since ... youre red ..!

> [The little octopus gave her a meek little smile, taking her hand.]

> thank you miss ... sniffle ...

[transfemgenesisx]

"Ruby.."

"GenesisX"'s smile seemed a bit more genuine now, not simply just the expression stone-solid on her face.

"Yeah, that's- that's nice. I like that."

[ What a cute kid.. ] ( Might cry if they keep this up. )

"Let me retrace my steps- maybe there's a way out from where I originally came in here from. This place is a fair bit confusing, so do try to not let go- okay?"

The golden threads and rips and tears in their abyssal surroundings thrummed slightly, a compliment to the sound of footsteps. The glitch continued to walk, keeping her pace slow so she didn't accidentally drag the kid.

[computerizedinkwell]

> ehehe ... ( ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)

> [They giggled quietly, the sound bubbly and muffled like it was underwater. The little octopus shuffled alongside her, tiny hand in hers.]

> okay, ruby ...

> [Little boots thumped against the ground as they followed, holding their other hand close to their chest as if clutching imaginary pearls. They hummed idly to themselves, a simple melody so random yet oddly familiar.]

> mmm ... do you like to play games, aunty ..?

> i like to play dress up ..! (⁠*⁠´ᴗ⁠｀⁠*⁠)

[transfemgenesisx]

"Ah, dress up.."

The glitch tilted her head slightly, nodding in acknowledgement- irises flitting to look around for any indication of an exit.

"I like chess, checkers- any boardgame like that. Dress up is lovely too. Do you have any... Favorite outfits to wear? In- in dress up."

Her neck extended upwards, craning to looking around- pupils contracting slightly- a passive sign of her frustration. With another violent entity, "Aunty Ruby" couldn't necessarily ensure the kid's safety.

Even something as disgustingly resilient as she lost the will to fight against that purple thing, it was an even match- and that frightened her.

[ Of course a child had to show up after that. ] ( It's just plain cruel. )

Her heart ached, remembering a family she could've had- but never was hers to begin with. Her fingers slightly tightened around Steri's- her unearned nostalgia causing her to get emotional.

[computerizedinkwell]

> [Their eyes practically lit up as she asked, corners of their mouth pulling up in a crooked smile— or, rather, the best they could manage with a beak in the way.]

> yes ..! i have a pretty pink dress with a big bow ... hehe ^ ^

> i have lots of bows ... i can give you one ..!

> [This simple little conversation seemed to pull their spirits up, ink-black tears drying on their cheeks. Following after her, they looked around curiously as if sightseeing.]

> this place is really big ...

[transfemgenesisx]

"Awh. Bet that looks lovely on you, little buddy."

She smiled, very tentatively patting Steri on the head. Contact, connection. Unfortunately she was fearing for the child's safety every step they took- but she was bursting at the seams with joy. Someone pure of heart, worth her time- probably doesn't even have a bad bone in their body.

She never really experienced cuteness aggression until now, she wanted to squeeze the little one- almost being brought to tears- inviting new stains to stream down her cheeks and permanently mark them with her positively-induced sorrow.

"I'd like that, sure. - " - "This place is huge.. I haven't been here for long myself- all I know is the sort of.. Abnormalities held in here."

[transfemgenesisx]

PPLBH!

( Brainworms fell down into the area- falling flat on his face, tails still wriggling like possessed wires. ) WOOAAA! Is your face rotting? You're kinda-like-a-zombie!

@brainwermz

"Ah.. Ouch."

The cyan and red oddity's ear flicked- her pupils dilating slightly at the sight of the blue fox. Oh goodness, he was adorable. She had to get her composure in a death-grip as to avoid squealing.

"Another kid showing up here? How did you... How did you manage to get here?"

"GenesisX" extended her arm, scruffing Brainworms and lifting him up. She tilted her head, her arm shrinking back to an appropriate size- leaving Brainworms dangling just barely an arms-length away.

"Who are you?"

Embarrassing Aftermath

"GenesisX" and her new violently purple violent acquaintance both tuckered the other out. The glitch was folded up over herself, head on the ground and pushed up against what seemed to be a wall- legs folded like L's. She huffed- breath whistling through her teeth.

The other lady with quite a bite to her had been borderline pancaked on the floor. She huffed too, a vaguely amusing mimicry of the red one.

"..You done yet?"

"How are you here?"

"I would've preferred a sorry-"

"How. Are. You. Here?"

The purple thing got up, fingers moving to the crook of her neck- sharp nails that poked through delicate orange fabric scratching at the softer flesh.

"This is my torment. My hell- why are you here?!"

"I'm as clueless as you."

The hedgehog gritted her teeth, the sharp shards seeming to be jet-black rather than belonging to an empty maw. The glitch's pupils contracted, becoming vaguely slit-like- preparing for her to lunge again.

Seems like they'll be fast friends.

[transfemgenesisx]

Company? ..Company.

"GenesisX" quietly roamed, much-too-long fingers plucking at the threads of others lives- such a sweet and succulent thrumming noise sounding through them as they vibrated under the touch. It was a warmth she had not the luxury of experiencing in so long.

It was as though a laugh was held in her palms- a giggle or a bad joke, so stupidly warm it started to irritate her.

In her hands was the life of someone who was once human- a much more real version of her predicament. Sarah Henderson.

The glitch gently ran fingers along each thread and vein- the warmth turning to bitter cold.

" . . . "

"GenesisX" crouched down immediately- whirling around, narrowly avoiding being grabbed by a gloved orange hand. Black eyes bore into hers which resembled TV static- one pair broken and abyssal while the other the former, but dappled with cyans and red-pinks.

A sense of recognition, maybe- seeing a kindred spirit. Although, the glitch wouldn't want to call her that. Something felt much worse about her- and that thought was oh-so-sweetly justified upon the purple-quilled hedgehog lunging.

The red and cyan abnormality rolled away, gums scraping against floor that felt akin to asphalt. She got up, elasticity being utilized to stretch herself further away- borderline rolling feet away.

Warm welcome, right?

[transfemgenesisx]

I Want Something More

Why does your head hang, Trevor?

"That isn't my name."

Then what is? You are him, you know. No matter what you think yourself to be.

"..I don't- know.."

What will they call you?

"I don't know."

Figure it out.

[transfemgenesisx]

Life Everywhere, Yet Still You Lack One Of Your Own

"GenesisX"'s fingers gently traced along the threads in front of her- access to nearly everything. The physical world- a treat she's dreamed about and longed for ever since her unfortunate birth.

She saw the lives of many- a blue fox with powers that seemed to be incomprehensible. A green hedgehog with a mutated lover, a woman of a beautiful lavender hue- tending to the broken wing of a hatchling.

Without meeting them, she knew them. The glitch could feel every in and out of their personality- their likes and dislikes. The permission to know life-

While hers was dangled over her as though it was a carrot and she were a pig. Still out of reach-

but she can see everyone else live. Feel their fears and everything ugly about them- as much as she feels their aching beauty and times they've been brave. It was as though a synopsis of their lives was injected into her brain, the 1's and 0's formulating her starting to quiver with all this knowledge.

". . . "

"It's not fair."
