[Firecracker waits for a response from Sam]

[...but not for very long. They are not a patient individual.]

ah danggit. no sam man. sad. alexa play decapicito. welp, cant go to the source for the cheat codes.

why the hesitation, rye rye? Sammy sent us here. besides, im super curious. and bear-o blocked me like a chump so i cant distract em anymore. we should make progress before he does. im not losin to freddy freakin fazbear.

oh and Pinkie; i think the password is repair. was the key for decoding Sammy Boi's initial messages.

-🧨

Repair.

Repair...!

...

>R E P A I R

Authentication accepted. Extracting files...

The archive begins to vibrate, startling Kinito into sending the file flying, his fumbling hands trying and failing to catch it on its way down. It lands squarely on the filthy ground, and despite his attempt to catch it, the pink axolotl hesitates to pick it up as he fearfully watches it convulse on the floor.

Did he do the right thing? God, was Rye right? What was going to-

Extraction complete.

🧨(firecracker) user from Electric disonance my behated <3

I have to draw them cuz they live in my mind rent free. They add such spice to the ARG

[firecrackerhh]

People who claim they left the fandom and yet insist on talking shit about us is the most irritating shit in the universe.

If you actually moved on, you wouldn’t be talking about us at all. You wouldn’t care about us at all. Our existence wouldn’t bother you enough to try and bullshit other people into claiming you’ve “moved on” when in reality I’m convinced that hating us is the only way these fucking losers get their rocks off.

Why else would they keep crawling back? Why else do these fucking losers keep on talking about us? It’s clearly the only source of adrenaline they feel in their miserable lives.

Like hey I love talking shit about people I don’t like either but at least I at most make 1 or two posts about it, I don’t base my entire online presence around my dislike of certain people. The only people I care to shit talk directly are people who were talking shit about me first.

Like goddamn at least I try to not spread my misery around like a fucking cancer. If there were to ever come a day where I did decide to leave the fandom once and for all I wouldn’t then decide “hey I’ll make a new blog where I do nothing but shit talk the very people I once liked!” I just wouldn’t talk about it anymore.

I don’t deny the fact that the bigger hazbin accounts can be obnoxious asshats but Jesus Christ what the fuck makes you think you’re so special? What the fuck makes you any goddamn different?

As if making a fucking critical blog is any less obnoxious, makes you any less of a fucking parasite leeching off the popularity of a creator who has no idea who tf you even are.

You know why Viv never says anything when it comes to the fandom’s behavior? I can’t know for sure of course, but I imagine it mainly comes down to the fact that she isn’t our fucking mother and she knows it’s a waste of breath. We’re all supposed to be adults. If some of us choose to be immature assholes, there’s nothing she can do. She isn’t obligated to comment on every little drama the fandom gets up to, she has shit to fucking do.

Y’all get pissed that Viv is on Twitter too fucking much but you want her to waste time scolding us like fucking toddlers every fucking day when random Twitter user#57643257864327 gets into drama with random Twitter user #8954222346787543?

Make up your fucking mind!

If the fandom is such a bother to you then fucking stop talking about it and move. The fuck. On. Like a fucking adult. You are no better than the people you despise.

Pathetic. Jesus Christ, the hatedom is just as fucking childish as we are, I cannot imagine being so unaware.

🔥🧨~Firecracker out~🔥🧨

[electricdissonance]

[Eagle whimpered, wrapping his wings around himself. God, he really was pathetic, wasn't he?]

[He allowed himself a few sniffles before clearing his throat, ready to be brave again. But that brave, strong mask didn't come back. He only whined again, letting out a choked sob.]

[But talks with the others... did get his attention. Someone in here... a new chance at life...? Something about bodies...?]

W-wait, what do you mean by-

[Ah. By the time Eagle had gathered the strength to speak again, the feed was gone. They barely flinched at the outburst, at the static. Of course. Just like them to miss their opportunities, just like them to mess up, because they can't stop being some dumb weak crybaby.]

O-oh...

-🦅

"H... Huh?"

Kinito shuffles his feet uncertainly.

"Erm, friends, I don't mean to pry, but... w-were you... with someone else just now...?"

"Who's 'Sammy'...?"

[electricdissonance]

wow. didnt see that comin. interesting. never seen a program like this before.

ooop. Not trying to be mean guys, was just trying to stop yall getting so worked up. Believe it or not I have actually been trying to learn to stop trolling peeps so much lately.

But wow i could not kick the hornets nest harder if i tried lol. im almost impressed.

Yo, little guy, can you explain whats going on here?

-🧨

"Yeah, wouldn't you like to know...?"

"You throw stones at a guy then ask him why he's bleeding. But nevermind that, it's all pre-programmed anyways, right?"

[electricdissonance]

behold. a (orange) man.

sup Sammy. u look like you just got put thru the spin cycle on a washin machine. you good there bud?

-🧨

"S-Sam...? Sam, as in Sam the sea anemone? That's... that's you...?"

Kinito continued to stare incredulously, his hands lowering from their defensive posturing slowly.

The sea anemone groaned, propping himself up more bit by bit. He reached a kneeling position, rolling his shoulders in an attempt to loosen them up.

"sure... more or less..."

He glanced to the chatroom that hovered off to the side. Good... so that made it back safely, too. Squinting at the bright screen, he could barely make out the influx of chatter through his recovering blurred vision.

"feels more like being stuck in a hydraulic press."

He shuddered involuntarily.

"remind me to never quick zip like that again..."

[electricdissonance]

sooooooo any idea whats causing that, little guy? also why do you have the ability to sim pain, the heck is up with that? I don't see why that would be useful to you, like, at all. kinda messed up thats coded in, ngl.

as much as i would like you to answer absolutely every question i throw at ya, you know you don't have ta respond to everyone, every time, right? Ever heard of an AMA? Or an ask blog? or online interview? they don't answer everyone. its only practical if you got a large amount of people yappin at ya at once that you pick n choose.

its clearly taken a toll on your system and i don't wanna see ya crash and burnout like right after starten this beta thing.

-🧨

Increasingly hesitant, Kinito once again rubbed his... arm? Glove, in a self-soothing manner.

"I... I don't know why I can feel pain. I... don't think it was intentionally coded in. I had never experienced anything like it before the dev team went dark on me. But, I'm also not sure where it came from, either. I certainly didn't add it to myself."

"Ask blog...? Friend, I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the examples you've provided. I was still in development when I was... abandoned."

Looking a bit miserable, he sighed.

"...I'm nowhere near as polished as my developers no doubte wanted me to be for this beta test."

"I-If anything, I feel like I've gone backwards..."

[electricdissonance]

unbanned and back by popular demand. Me. you may now cease your weeping and gnashing of teeth, and rejoice. for the hot n spicy firecracker babe has returned to grace you with her presence.

so. sonny boi. ya sold out, but only so you could one day put us all in the puter, huh? ngl, i can see the merit. no diseases or world hunger or any of that other nonsense. could instafix stuff like broken bones. a brave new world.

but lemmie guess. it would be a world of which you would be the great glorious overbear? I cant see ya not giveing yourself admin privileges over humanity.exe. you are too much of a wannabe supervillain ta not do something like that. which. would be very cool actually, very comic book irl stuff. except. yanno. you currently aint all that irl are ya, Darth Ursine?

come on, how the heck are ya gonna get yourself outta that screen? you dont seem like you got any clue how ta proceed from squattin in cave town. do you even have a plan, bear boy? whats even your next move here?

-🧨

The snarl Sonny made echoed down the mouth of the cave, his fur bristling in warning.

"I don't owe you an explanation!"

He made the effort to return to bipedal posturing, and combed through his mane in an unconscious attempt to self-soothe.

"Why the hell would I tell you, anyways? I just know you're scheming with that orange bastard on the side. It's a given."

His claws clenched, yearning to dig into flesh. He wanted to continue his raving - to threaten the coming of his grand new laboratory, and his plans thereafter - but fortunately kept his wits about him enough to not do that.

"You'd ruin everything. And I'm not about to have that."

The bear quickly summoned his own monitor with that last utterance, a digit hesitating over the block command. Everything in him told him to block this thorn in his side from seeing OR speaking to him ever again, and yet he felt just as strongly that he wasn't ready for this fire to end. He'd never admit it even to himself - the way the anger charged him up, motivated him more than ever.

He needed to maintain a direct line to the other side, he told himself. A partial ban would serve that purpose well without compromising his mission, he justified. But in truth...

[Firecracker.USER has been banned from viewing SONNY_C.RRA for: ∞ HOURS]

...A complete ban would make this all too boring.

[electricdissonance]

[Firecracker considered Sam's words. It would be pretty embarrassing to talk big game and get murked the moment she no longer was protected by a screen. Looks like playtime might be over for now. Thats fine. Firecracker knows how to work with egomaniacs.]

[She sent a message for Sonny to receive when her ban timed out.]

heeeyyyy sonny bear! did cha miss me? admit it, you missed me ~ <3

listen. ive been thinkin. about all of this. what exactly was your endgame? with the experiments an stuff? like yeah, you made people inta desktop pets but i doubt that was what the long term goal was. ive seen enough of ya to know you dont think small.

so indulge a girls curiosity. what was Mr Sonny Chamberlain building up to?

-🧨

The message popped up in the bear's peripheral view, and at first he thought it to be one of his lackeys - only to be met with a name that made his lips downturn into a snarl.

"Oh, god. You're back."

His voice was gravelly and dripped with venom as he froze in place, and the tree next to him where his paw was resting suffered some rather deep gouges.

In this situation, one might expect him to simply dole out another block and move on. But this woman now evoked a stronger response beyond the simple realms of basic annoyance or disgust he would typically feel for others he deemed as pests.

No... this had been made personal a long time ago. This was a matter of pride.

"When you're a man living in a world in which only the marketable get money to pursue their dreams, you must bite the bullet and make yourself marketable. So that is what I did."

He glanced back at the chat, a wild look in his eyes.

"Humanity has held itself back for far too long. Everyone is so afraid to evolve..."

The scent he had been chasing was so close now... He continued to ramble on, but seemingly lost the focus required to maintain his upright posture. On all fours he briskly traveled through the brush, and the damp, stony smell that had captivated him so got that much clearer.

"So I will evolve for them. And those who wish to remain in the past - to remain weak, fleshy, and flippant - will not have a seat in this new world in which I am so meticulously crafting."

Soon the grass broke away to stone and Sonny froze, panting ever so slightly. He looked up, and before him stood the wide, dark awning of a cave.

"My digital new world..."

The wide, dark awning of a home.

[electricdissonance]

Oh hey Pinkie, welcome back.

Boy did *you* miss one heck of a show, lol. Turns out you got a friend on your side of the screen. His name's Sam. He's been keeping an eye out for ya. Cuz unfortunatly, you gotta enemy on ur side of the screen too.

ur creator acts like a total turdburger, btw. 0 outta 5 stars. do not reccomend. actually a bigger jerkoid than i am (which mighta been *almost* impressive if he were also not so utterly pathetic).

Anyways, Sammy's been tryin to stop him from killing both of you.

Oh yeah, before Ol' Sonny Boi forced him skedaddle, Sam-o metioned somthin bout telling you about "Web World". That ringin any bells for ya, Pinkie?

Theres more info, but, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I think somebody whos softer with their words than me should relay that one, oof.

-🧨

That... Was a *lot* of information at once.

This was the second time the name "Sam" was mentioned... He thought it was a coincidence at first, that the name of one of his unfinished friends would be used so suddenly out of nowhere - and to describe a program, no less! Now, it was all but confirmed.

"Sonny wouldn't... I-I mean, sure, he could be a bit crass at times, but... he would never try and hurt me...! He made me! And if this Sam is the very one I am thinking of, then he made him as well, so there's no reason for him to want to... to..."

Kinito cringed. Even the act of saying it felt like too much... Fortunately, the mention of a certain aquatic land pulled him from his thoughts.

"The Web World...? That's... My home. Er, I guess, our home, if this Sam is who I think he is..."

[electricdissonance]

aaaaannnnnnnddddddd the bear folds first. perfect. >:3

yo. Sammy Boi. sonny the pooh bear banned me for an hour. so he prob aint paying attention to me rn. feel safe enough ta poke ya head out for a chat, orange man?

-🧨

But, there was no response... It seems that wherever the sea anemone had gone, he could not hear nor respond. Whatever connection he had been using was closed for good, it seemed...

[electricdissonance]

[Spade sighed, glad the bear would keep his word. Though he did bring a good point. Spade could use the old signing off they all did. He knew Sun or Moon wouldn't care if he started that again]

Thanks. I'll sign off with this -> <3< . You'll know it's me then. My headmates also type different too, Moon types in all lowercase while Sun types with all begining letters capitalized. I'm at your ready then, wherever you direct I'll follow.

As long as we ALL get bodies. Even after that, we will be in debted to you. I promise Moon and Sun will understand it. For now you have me, but you'll have three people loyal to you by the end. <3<

[Seeing so many talk to this man for reasons, it made them nervous. He knew this was only for the best, right? He couldn't think about that anymore, he committed to this plan already. Moon and Sun, they had to understand right? They'll understand, not now but soon. He still needs to talk with Kinito.]

-🌙(♠️)

Sonny tried to contain the anger wrought from the previous message, his teeth clenching hard. No longer flat like his human set, he lamented not being able to grind the jagged spikes.

"Of.... Of course. That sounds lovely."

Yeah, this... Wasn't going to work. Not while he knew *they* were still here...

"Ehem... Excuse me."

[Firecracker.USER has been banned for: 1 HOUR]

The beast of a man let out a ragged sigh, gliding a paw down one side of his face in catharsis.

"I... had to stamp out an annoying spark. I do truly appreciate your commitment. I look forward to working with you..."

There was a glint in his eye as he flashed a hint of a toothy grin.

"All of you."

[electricdissonance]

[Rye feels. Sickly immediately. All too familiar situation of making a new friend and seeing them snatched up. Easy... Easy he reminds himself. Sam's surely going to be fine. But what can the scarecrow even do?]

"I-i ah...There's gotta be something we can do- I don't want to leave you all alone...Can- can someone download you?? Send you somewhere? augh---I don't...I'm not familiar with tech..."

[You can't DOWNLOAD a person, Rye. he tells himself.]

"Just...sorry...ignore us, just get outta there safely, please..."

"it's alright, haystack, don't worry about a thing! i've got it covered. one of us was bound to find the other eventually, anyways."

"but hey! this is technically a good thing, because now i can work on containing him again!"

"even though now he's a lot less unconscious..."

"i-in the meantime, while i think of a plan, i'll run circles around him with these code blocks. they work kinda like wormholes, so with any luck, he won't be able to catch me anytime soon."

"before i go, i'll release you guys back to kinito. now this next part is very important. tell him to head to the web world, and go to the-"

Sam doesn't get the chance to say another word before he suddenly dips into the code block, and it blips into nothingness behind him.

"01000110 01010101 01000011 01001011 01001001 01001110 01000111 00100000 01001000 01000101 01001100 01001100 00101110 00101110 00101110 00100000 01000001 01001100 01001101 01001111 01010011 01010100 00100000 01001000 01000001 01000100 00100000 01001000 01001001 01001101 00101110"

"01010100 01001000 01000101 00100000 01000110 01010101 01000011 01001011 00100000 01001001 01010011 00100000 01010100 01001000 01001001 01010011 00101110 00101110 00101110 00111111"

Sonny gets uncomfortably close to the screen.

"01000010 01001001 01001110 01000001 01010010 01011001 00100000 01000010 01001111 01011001 00100000 00111111 00100000 00111111 00100000 00111111 00100000"

He roars, the sound somehow more distorted and clipped than his speaking voice.

"01001000 01001111 01010111 00100000 01000100 01001001 01000100 00100000 01010100 01001000 01000001 01010100 00100000 01010000 01001001 01000101 01000011 01000101 00100000 01001111 01000110 00100000 01010011 01001000 01001001 01010100 00100000 01000111 01000101 01010100 00100000 01000001 01001000 01001111 01001100 01000100 00100000 01001111 01000110 00100000 01001101 01011001 00100000 01000010 01000101 01010100 01000001 00100000 01000011 01001000 01000001 01010100 01010010 01001111 01001111 01001101 00111111"

[electricdissonance]

Sammy. Be straight with me. This isn’t an ARG of some sort? Some weird attempt at viral marketing?

are there really feckin self aware AI in here!? left completely unsupervised!? What, did the devs think they could get rid of them buy tossin em in a void and calling it a day? thats so stupid!!!! what bozo thought that was a good idea!?!?!?!?

-🧨

"fuckin' viral marketing-?!"

"buddy, why the hell would i make this up?!"

"ok, ok, ok. alright. not your fault. i get it. it's good to be skeptical. i probably would be too..."

"we weren't designed to be self aware... at least, not to this extent. and we definitely weren't unsupervised at first. quite the opposite, actually. we were being monitored 24/7."

"...remember the string of kidnappings from a few years ago? the ones that made headlines?"

"what do you think happened to those people?"

[electricdissonance]

ya know, it would be pretty cool if you peeps would stop simping over the actualfax serial killer.

[Firecracker sucks in a breath. There is *so* much more she could say about this gaggle of potential minions. She grits her teeth and reminds herself she is trying to be nicer.]

freddy fazbear over there, i know his type. he'll play nice until he uses ya up and throws you away when he's done with ya. i know a callous self absorbed egoist when i see one.

-🧨

(PS: You can certainly *try* to ban my ip, pookie bear. goodness knows you do something other than scream for once.)

"Oh, would you just SHUT THE FUCK UP?? You're just jealous that I can provide so much value and you are stuck being a useless waste of space behind a piece of glass."

Sonny roared, the sound reverberating throughout the empty space. He gripped the chat as he had before, and in his anger did not hesitate for a second longer to tap into the other's camera...

[electricdissonance]

oh cool this is happening. sup! so who are you exactly?

call me 🧨 or "Firecracker". don't really want my real name plastered where *everyone* can see it.

"This is simply marvelous! I could cry! It has been months since I've been able to talk to someone other than myself!"

"As your super-duper computer companion, I can do many things such as play games, surf the web, and even tell jokes and stories!"
