okay it's post purgatory 1. roier cubito just got off that boat. everything sucks. cucurucho takes one look at roier's stumbling ass, thinks of all the blood covering him, how it belongs to his friends and family, how cellbit is nowhere in sight, and decides hmmmm.... I can do something with this.

so one day later, once people are more settled in, cucurucho siddles over to roier's house and knocks on his door. there's no answer. um, okay. he knocks harder. still no answer. well. maybe he's working on a building somewhere?

cucurucho needs to hurry. preparations are still under way for the trip to rescue the eggs but, well. roier doesn't exactly need to know any of that, does he? so he needs to find him quick.

he's not in la taqueria el tripon. no roier in the bodega. pemex looks desolate. ouch, someone stole from the coppel. on he goes, until. ah. the oxxo's a mess inside.

the shelves have been knocked over, there's somehow kitkats stuck to the ceiling, and the roier cardboard cutout attendee has a big hole punched into his face. cucurucho looks around some more, trying to figure out where to go from here, before he spots something on the floor that looks out of place. he crouches down to get a closer look and realizes he's looking at leaves. red leaves, specifically. red leaves and orange grass. well, that certainly explains where roier’s been.

cucurucho teleports over to cellbit's castle. he's already crossed the bridge and is just about to enter when he hears some sort of commotion somewhere to the castle's side. roier is there, at the castle's base, fighting with a bird over a bag of chips and yelling profanities. there's lots of bags of chips scattered around his feet.

"stupid fucking bird! is that your problem? you know only inglich? te estás haciendo pendejo leave my food ALONE!" roier gives one last pull that manages to free half the bag from the bird. chips go flying everywhere as the bag tears. roier stumbles backward and steps on another bag, shouting in dismay. the crunch is very loud.

"TÓMALA CULERO!" roier yells, shaking his fist like abueloier after the bird. he looks around and starts half-heartedly cleaning up the bags, still mumbling curses under his breath. wonderful, looks like he's not busy now.

cucurucho waits until roier's back is to him before walking up to him. "good morning."

"GAH!" roier wheels around to look at him, hand to his heart. "WHAT THE FUCK, MAN."

"hahaha," cucurucho laughs. he knows how it is with roier.

"culero estupido pendejo, ok, pues ríete de mi! ríete de mi!" roier crosses his arms and turns his back on cucurucho with a humph. the action makes more chips crunch. they both turn down to look at the scattered bags. roier's shoulders slump before crouching down to continue stacking them into piles.

"good morning," cucurucho repeats himself. politeness is vital. "what are you doing?"

"what does it look like, stupid? i'm eating chips." roier gives up at that point before plobing down on his back. he opens a bag of chips and starts eating them, slowly and one by one. there's a small radio next to him that cucurucho hadn't noticed before. it's not currently on.

"what are you doing?" cucurucho asks again, knowing that's not the full story.

"me voy a quedar aquí. me voy a quedar aquí comiendo mis papitas y me voy a podrir," roier turns to look into cucuruchos eyes at that. "adios." he says, and closes his own eyes. realizing he's forgotten something, roier grabbles for the radio next to him, eyes still closed, before he finally finds it and turns it on. si no te hubieras ido starts playing. he starts eating the chips again, each crunch louder than the last.

well, that won't do.

"no," cucurucho tells him politely.

roier opens one eye and squints up at cucurucho. marco antonio solís is still crooning, soft and low and made a bit tinny by the radio. "what the fuck do you mean, no?"

"no," cucurucho repeats. that won't do. roier is still covered in blood and wearing his emoier clothes. there's still an asset there.

"y bueno. pues f, no? mamate." roier closes his eye again, this time more firmly. there's finality to the motion. he reaches out and turns up marco antonio solís. he starts pointedly singing along.

"noy hay nada más difícil que vivir sin ti," roier and marco antonio solís mourn together. it's muffled by the sound of crunching chips. this won't do.

"sufriendo en la-"

cucurucho reaches down-

"aA WHA?" and pulls roier up by his bloodstained hoodie. he starts squawking immediately.

"ME ESTAN ASALTANDO, ME ESTAN ASALTANDO!" he shouts, looking around and going as far as placing a hand delicately to his forehead before remembering that there's no one left to come looking. the fight slumps out of him, and he twists out of cucurucho's grip easily. cucurucho considers the motion apprasingly. yes, he will do.

annoyance covers roier's face. he crosses his arms. "what the hell is wrong with you. que es tu problema. bueno, aparte de ser cucurucho y horible y asi."

cucurucho takes out the notepad he wrote ahead of time for this. preparation is always vital. he hands it to roier. roier raises an eyebrow before snatching it away and opening it to read through. his brow furrows almost immediately, before he clears that away and looks up from the book, eyes wide.

"ahaha, what the fuck?" roier goes back to reading the book, and scoffs as he pockets it once he's done. "nope! nuh uh, no acepto."

"why?" cucurucho asks him. it's a good offer. a smart one. they both get something they want in return if roier agrees to work for the federation.

"para que solo me pagen con café y enigmas? hm, no gracias." there's a glint in his eyes that he hides by looking around at the ground and muttering something about bears and ruined chips.

cucurucho takes out another book and writes down the offer he gave in the first book, as a reminder, before handing it over to roier. "the federation has resources to find people. stellar employees may request access, should their work be sufficient."

roier reads those lines. he looks at the book, pondering. he looks at cucurucho, also pondering. marco antonio solís finishes his song, and the radio switches over to llueve sobre la ciudad. the sound of static draws both of their attention to the radio. Instead of los bunkers, hozier's voice comes through, and they blink at the radio in confusion.

"do you think i'd give up," he sings, and cucurucho looks at roier pointedly.

roier just rolls his eyes. "fine! ugh." he pockets the second book and approaches cucurucho to poke a finger at his chest. "but i'm quitting the second you try and give me coffee!"

wonderful news.

"disfruta la isla," cucurucho tells him, smiling wider as roier goes to poke at the radio before he teleports back to the offices. a new asset has been acquired. everything is going as planned.

another serious angst idea (w/ a happy ending)

caine finding out about jax and gangle's relationship and throwing them a wedding adventure, at first jax is embarrased but when gangle is at the aisle he cries tears of joy cause he's never felt so loved.

(I'll try to keep it as Canon as possible)

Caine: AH AH AH! *wiggles his finger and pushes Gangle and Jax apart* NO HOLDING HANDS BEFORE MARRIAGE!

Jax: we weren't. My hand got tangled in hers.

Caine: I MAY BE AI, BUT I AINT STUPID! ALSO, I HAVE CAMERAS ABOVE EVERYONES BEDS. you guys are actually so disturbing what is wrong with you. I'm uninstalling the cameras in your rooms, you disgusting freaks.

Gangle: *puts her hands on the top of her head* YOU HAVE CAMERAS?

Jax: *shrugs* I knew. I made eye contact with it the whole time.

Caine: I think the way you looked into my soul while all that was happening will truly keep me traumatized for life. ANYWAY! BECAUSE YOU TWO ARE NOW A LOVLEY DOVLEY COUPLE YOU NEED TO GET MARRIED!

Gangle: I don't think that's necessary-

Caine: IT ABSOLUTLEY IS! *snaps his fingers, and they're in a church, with Gangle in a wedding dress and Jax in a tuxedo*

Jax: Caine, this is stupid. No one even showed up. it's just cardboard cutouts of the members and Npcs. *punches a hole in cardboard that looks like Kinger*

Npc: you're ungreatful.

Jax: Yeah, there's no way in hell I am doing this. Me and Gangle getting married is so out of character and weird. *looks up at her*

Gangle: *looks down and spins her dress slightly, smiling at the beauty of it*

Jax: *blushes and sighs* Fine, let's get this over with. *walks in front of her*

Caine: Jax! do you take Gangle as your wife?

Jax: I guess.

Caine: Gangle, do you take Jax as your husband?

Gangle: Huh? No, it's too soon for that, but can I keep the dress? It's pretty!

Caine: I declare you two one-sided! You may kiss the bride!

Jax: I hate both of you. I'm out of here. *walks away, frustrated*

Gangle: *pouts and looks up* wait- where's my kiss?...

Jax: *gets hit by some mush in the face* AGH! WHAT THE HELL! *looks at bubble throwing mush everywhere*

Caine: BUBBLE! I TOLD YOU TO THROW RICE!

Bubble: I am-

Caine: WHY DID YOU COOK IT?

Bubble: YOURE NEVER HAPPY WITH WHAT I DO!

Caine: I would if you'd DO IT RIGHT!

*Gangle and Jax staring*

a little ramble abt scissors because im very sane and normal

this isn't anything groundbreaking but because i'm so very normal about scissors, i just started typing and it devolved into a ramble about them because i love their character and fight so much. i'll be putting the text under a read more but it's also a good chance to say origami king spoilers !!

small disclaimer that i personally use he/they pronouns for my scissors but in this i'm defaulting to 'they' just for the character in general :} this will be disjointed and messy i be rambling

now that you're under the read more and no longer safe from me (/lh) i genuinely really REALLY love scissors as a character and i love their personality. so much. before you even get to their boss fight itself there's a very strong emphasis every step of the way there that you are way out of your depth in this situation.

it's a pair of scissors, tossed into a world inhabited and made of paper, very much sentient, and very much aware of it's standing in this environment. of course, the other members of the legion of stationery also feel very alien in a world of paper as living craft supplies, but with scissors they're extremely different and on a level of their own, that being their purpose is explicitly mutilation and causing harm (in the context of paper being alive). coloured pencils are sharp, but their main purpose relating to paper is just the application of colour, rubber band and tape bind/entrap, and while stapler and hole punch have really hostile applications (cutting out holes and puncturing with staples that are quite big in comparison to a toads body, for example), both are intended to hold paper together if used properly (and not just going around fucking people up [looks at hole punch in accusatory fashion /lh]).

scissors are made to cut. their main use involves harming paper. the story is told through paper so it's obviously a touch more lighthearted but the terror in reaction to scissors says a lot. they take about 10 extra years off of kamek's lifespan by swooping down and quartering Bowser Jr, who is like. 12. without any hint of mercy or hesitation. you quickly learn this guy is not opposed to Child Murder (tm) i also love the buildup throughout bowser's castle, and the paper mistake!! these are so horrifying in the context of a paper world!! a pair of scissors essentially playing god, literally making new life via unnatural, freakish means, using paper from the environment and cut up people. the cutouts are made of paper like them, imagine seeing something thats like. you, but not. they have the same 'flesh' as you, the same attributes, but they're just wrong. i think it'd be like their version of some sort of uncanny valley?? which would be disturbing to see, even more so for buzzy beetle

i've seen people say they're 'fair'/ a fair fighter and while they do have a noble, stoic personality initially and the act itself was quite fair to at least provide some fighting chance first things first, i personally don't think there was any fairness actually intended at all when they put that sheath on. they fully expect to win - they don't entertain the possibility of losing for even a second during the entire fight. in reality using the sheath is more of a means to prolong the fun. They're skilled enough, cocky enough and likely enough to win that they can afford to cat and mouse with their opponent a bit. my hc is they both appreciate the thrill of a good fight, but doesn't believe for a second that it's even between them and an opponent - every fight is consistently in their favour, and they know this. the thrill comes more from the fact that meeting a capable opponent makes it even sweeter when they inevitably crush them. there's excitement to the point they flip and dance and do that smug little wave animation from side to side when it becomes clear mario is actually putting up a fight.

i know the los/game enemies in general tend to call out when a large attack/ultimate attack is coming up, and its just part of the game design to allow a player to prepare, but to me i also love to think of it in character terms. a swordsman calling out their strongest attack would be something typically quite dangerous and a huge disadvantage for them - they're so confident around paper they don't even need to worry about giving away their whole hand of cards. why should it matter if they can just win anyway? they literally get bored after a few turns because they're so very sure of what the outcome of this fight is going to be. so, they wrap things up, and swing with the blow that has cut up so many paper soldiers, civilians etc before this. 999 damage.

then mario fucking DODGES. he jumps OVER IT. the thing nobody else has ever thought to do.

everything in scissors' existence is called into question in that EXACT moment. their literal LIFE PURPOSE. CUTTING PAPER. when that has NEVER happened before. by something as small as a JUMP, something the other versions of mario do every day, and it's worked here as well (and also the rlly cute hc that paper mario learned it from his time in paper jam. which i think is adorable :] )

scissors is so accustomed to winning every single time, they're completely blindsided. paper is a lesser thing to them. so to see a mere piece of paper defy them is infuriating. this is the moment you see it all crumble. that dignified exterior vanishes and reveals a literal tantrum at the first hint of failure. to the point they accuse mario of cheating!! despite them being perfectly fine beforehand with trying to get a cheap shot at mario before the fight started (it's clearly only cheating when it's at their expense). the sheer embarrassment of having limited themselves in a fight temporarily, fully expecting to win, only for someone to finally call their bluff. stay right there and let me go again.

and again. and again.

what i think is so so cool abt this fight is you can see a very visible progression of rage after the first dodge and you enter the stream of insta-kills until one of you drops. while it's mixed up, you see a shift from fancy flips and elegant showboating cuts to tricks, delayed timings, outright blink-and-you'll-miss-it attacks. from 'outraged, but still confident' to FURIOUS and desperate, not a single other word is spoken after the first dodge in their complete focus trying to end mario. because you kinda realize something about scissors at this point - despite the very inflated ego and clear talent, they're only confident so long as they feel they can win without question.

they're paralyzed in shock when you win against them. they practically died standing up, deathly silent, and it only takes the lightest of baby nudges to finish them off. i've seen ppl say both that they were in fact dead where they stood from the sheer exertion of it or they were so stupefied by the only fight they've ever lost, i like both though i lean towards a combination of injury and shock personally

and god i love the significance of it all. something to seemingly impossible and hopeless being overcome. a match-up so historically favored on one side of the fight, losing essentially to their own underestimation and ego

for the first time ever, paper beat scissors

#origami king #legion of stationery #paper mario the origami king #paper mario #im so normal raaaaah !!!!!!

Deltarune Yellow: Stories from Another Place

After playing through Undertale Yellow I thought "What if these characters were in the Deltarune world" so I went ahead and wrote a few short stories based on that idea: https://archiveofourown.org/works/52748578/chapters/133414159

Here's a general gist of what the folks from UTY are like in Deltarune

Clover lives in a town called "Notheast" (it's just Arizona, it's the absolute worst) with Martlet. Adopted at a very young age by her and despite not knowing how to be a mother at first, Martlet has raised him well. He loves old cowboy movies and always wears his iconic hat and bandana.

"North Star" and his "posse" are just normal working folks who reenact old western battles in their free time (really no different than the usual). Clover hangs out with them.

Martlet is a local town official who tries to keep things as orderly as she but really her efforts hinder more than they help, no one has the heart to tell her this though. She adopted Clover when he was 4 and been his cool bird mom ever since.

Ceroba runs a martial arts class and occasionally larps with "North Star". Is still married to Chujin, they have their issues but what couple doesn’t?

Chujin runs an electronics store that he's trying to remodel, it still has the cheezy atmosphere of 80's advertising from back when. Also takes care of a flower garden in the town center, it's a nice reprieve from all the sand. Kanako helps out with the gardening and occasionally mans the store register when Chujin can’t. Used to be a big shot… so they say

Kanako is a friend of Clover's since they were in 1st grade elementary. She wants to be a hero but isn't sure what she wants to do that would be "heroic" enough to help people. She larps with Clover but pretends to be a samurai instead… even though the group thinks it ruins the mood when everyone is shooting (nerf) guns at each other while she batters people with a wooden katana.

Dalv died in a mishap with makeshift explosives, all that was left of his house was a single Balloon… or atleast that’s the exaggerated story of it. Truth was the man accidently lit a match near an open propane tank. The balloon did survive though don’t worry.

There's a mining operation happening west of the town but the locals don't know what their mining for. There’s rumors of hidden treasures and impossible creatures but the Miners wont speak a lick to locals.

Axis only exists as Chujins store Mascot, the cardboard cutout of him is a common target of harassment by kids. Someone punched a hole through it once and nobody knows why.

That doesn't cover everyone but I'll get to those folks when I can gather my thoughts more.

There’s ugly carpets, old paintings, and books and music galore! Beau is rolling with the punches in today’s chapter, and by punches I mean “tackles” because when Edythe tries to scare him, he just gets turned on about it.

do i give u the obvious things of fish game or pmtok or do i say the dragon books even if i won't know what youre talking about u can choose <3

i'm feeling silly i will do both pmtok and funny dragon books :3 (you have no idea what you're unleashing with wof /lh)

favourite character my taniel bias shines through it's tape i love tape. i think it's silly and i love that it's fucking annoying (affectionate) and the personality it has in canon is also just. extremely silly to me i love seeing the different tapes in the fandom too tape is just a species to me now. a genre of character even

second favourite character this is hard bc did you know that every day scissors hole punch and handaconda constantly fight for second favourite now that i can solidly say tape is my favourite. that is to say right now it's scissors i always thought scissors was silly. absolute fucking creature

i think all of the pmtok characters are silly in their own way i have no least favourite <3

can i be funny w system stuff for a moment and say tape knowing very well i only say this bc there's two tape introjects/fictives up in this brain sdfghj (help m /lh). but ignoring that sdfgh maybe i'm most like copen or hole punch if you squint hard enough /lh

favourite pairing i don't think i ever have a set favourite pairing bc it changes all the time however i can say i very much love stapscisspunch in the context of my main los. i forever think about them,, also polycule los i don't think about my alt los often but i always remember that about em and i think polycule los in general is very silly too

least favourite it's just bobby and olivia for me solely bc they are besties to me. also bc i hc them both as aro but also bc they're besties. but even then i don't even dislike it that much if at all ignoring that i don't really have a least favourite i think

favourite moment i always thought hole punch critiquing the other discs besides thrills at night was the funniest shit personally i already love hole punch so much for that alone. i'm also obsessed with the build up to the handaconda fight in bowser's castle w the cutouts it's so <33

rating 10/10 I WILL NEVER BE NORMAL ABOUT COLOURS AND OFFICE SUPPLIES AGAIN. AWESOME GAME

now. the dragon books

favourite character ivy wings of fire i love you so much and i'm so sorry the fandom treats you and your debut book like trash just because you're a human in a dragon book series and i wish you were written better </3 i hope you know that ivy wings of fire was The glorpy of mine before i got into pmtok i had so many aus i'm still so normal about her i want her to be safe and happy and cherished that is all

second favourite character i'll be normal for once and say a dragon character in the dragon book series anyways it's some rando side character named boto. from what i remember he was silly rainforest dragon who just gave me the vibes of worlds shyest even if it was just him being nervous for the sake of plot. he appeared briefly in a few of the books and i think there was only one or two times he was properly called by name. i love this guy (my other pick for this that was more normal was winter he's one of the protags and i'm normal about him i wish he was written better)

least favourite character i was gonna say qibli but honestly i have more grievances with The Fandom's Characterization and Biases(tm) than qibli himself. and with humans like not even heath i genuinely hate i think it's fun to make fun of that guy and also i found that piece of shit interesting to write. but points at blue and cricket I Don't Like Them just by proxy of how i just. dislike how the third arc was handled getting into the specifics of those two would be its own whole essay just know i don't like them. ignoring those two bc it's a third arc thing tsunami annoys me

character most like me snowfall to some extent i didn't like her book but i related yeah. also winter for similar reasons except i liked his book and also ivy

favourite pairing daffodil and violet i love them so much. i'm also a botangbai (boto and changbai i love throwing two random side characters together sometimes <3), wintle (winter and turtle), and turpike (turtle and pike) enjoyer to varying extents

least favourite pairing FUCKING LEAF AND IVY. i fucking hate them as a romantic pairing you don't know how much hatred i hold in my heart for this ship i skip over the scene they kissed every time i need to reread part three of dragonslayer. i loathe leavy ENTIRELY i hope this ship burns in the fiery pits of hell

(i am being dramatic for the sake of silly but please know. i've never hated a ship this much it's been almost three years since dragonslayer came out and the hate is still going strong good lird)

favourite moment it's been so long since i actually read the books but i forever thing the thing with winter trying on hailstorm's pyrite mask was delightfully fucked up in a psychological sense when you think about it

rating 7/10 i enjoy this series a lot ignoring the things i don't like . anyways i hope they make a dragonslayer legends sequel to piss the fandom off about humans again

#asks #this took me so long but i got incredibly silly #i'm so sorry about the least favourite pairings for wof lol every time i remember leavy i get mad /lh /hj #(i love leaf and ivy separately as characters i just. bleh. leavy. they're so platonic besties to me however)#ghost whispers

7-Eleven (Ellie x Riley)

Summary: Little story about Ellie and Riley’s trip to 7-Eleven and how Ellie got her eyebrow scar

Warnings: None

Word Count: 5.6k

Cross-posted on AO3

Giggles enveloped the small pistachio colored room marked with some black gunk along the edges. Ellie bent over as her side was cramping from the unstoppable laughter. Riley was so fucking funny.

“Like Santa, come get your reindeer. Rudolph got out again!”

The young girl gasped in delight, more laughs coming up from her belly as she clutched the cotton fabric of her gray t-shirt. “Shit, it’s so funny it hurts,” Ellie cried. “Bethany’s face was so red, I thought she was going to explode!”

Riley nodded through her own amusement, chuckling. “The satisfaction I got from her dumb look was almost as good as punching her in the face.” Her smile was wide and bright even in the yellowy light from the lamp. Their backs were against the many cutouts and posters taped to the wall where Ellie’s twin bed was pushed into the corner of the small room. Ellie’s feet, covered by white socks, just hit the edge, but Riley’s calves beside them. Even though she had time to catch up, she felt she’d never be as tall as her best friend.

“God, one day I’m going to knock that smug look off her face,” Ellie said dreamily as she uncurled from her position brought on by her stitched side. She straightened her back, gazing up at the ugly off-white ceiling. In the corner above her bed she spotted a little friend making a web.

“No,” Riley said in a light tone, a smile on her lips, “she’s not worth another trip to the hole. If she bothers you, I’ll fuck her up for you.” Eliie turned and smiled, mouth slightly open in surprise. There was a tiny ball of heat in her chest that formed when her ears heard the protective declaration from the older girl beside her. These little genuine words of care were becoming more common lately, she wasn’t sure what to make of them. Maybe it was dumb and this was how Riley just expressed platonic affection. It was stupid to feel so giddy when she said stuff like that right? Yea, it was just a best friend thing. Anyway, Ellie would fuck up Bethany for Riley any day.

“Oh, wow, my protector,” Ellie feigned a high-pitched girly voice, bringing clasped hands up to her cheek. “What would I ever do without you?” She batted her lashes dramatically leaning back so Riley could get the full effect of her damsel in distress act.

“Don’t worry little lady, I’ll take care of big bad Rudolph for you,” Riley replied with a comically deep voice and a fist beating against her chest. Her silver bracelet shimmied with the rhythm of her thumping. Ellie buckled in cackles, unraveling until her hands found her knees. Riley softly padded Ellie’s back, laughing as well while gently kicking her legs.

“Ladies, lights out!” Laura, the floor supervisor, called out as she marched down the hall.

“Ladies, lights out,” Riley mocked and Ellie chuckled. “Don’t forget to turn off Bethany!” She whispered, though she cupped her hands as if she was shouting at Laura, whose footsteps trailed off behind the door.

Ellie fell over again, gasping, brown curls in a ponytail falling forward against her neck. Riley didn’t seem to notice, as she had entertained herself enough to warrant more unstoppable giggles. After a few moments they both recovered. Ellie looked at the clock, 10:02 pm.

“Well, should we go to bed? I mean, we do have exercises all day tomorrow because of that thing - Why are you looking at me like that?” Riley had a slight pout and raised eyebrows in disapproval. Her arms were crossed in front of a plain black t-shirt over which she had on her favorite baby blue, short-sleeved button up; as usual, it was not buttoned. “When did you become so boring?”

Ellie gaped, “I’m not boring! I’m just saying- like- oh, okay, what do you want to do?”

Riley looked over to the other wall not really looking at the pictures taped up next to the dresser, then locked eyes with Ellie. Ellie felt that familiar warmth again when their eyes met, her heart stopped just for a moment.

“Turn them off ladies,” a firm and steady tone cut through the room. Ellie jerked, dark eyes shooting to the door as she sprang up and quickly fumbled to turn off the lamp. Riley snickered again as she watched, absent of the same sense of urgency. The light was gone with the click of a switch, leaving only blue shadows from the window to mitigate the sudden darkness.

“Scaredy cat.”

Ellie scowled though she wasn’t sure her best friend could see her. She returned to her position against the wall, papers scratching as she adjusted for comfort; she cleared her throat as she settled. “You were saying?”

Riley’s face was obscured by the shadows, but they were still close enough for Ellie to make out her black eyes gazing at her. “I was saying, why do I always have to decide? I think it’s your turn to choose something,” Riley said commandingly. Ellie hummed at the challenge. It was true she often deferred to Riley, so she tried to think of something that wasn’t dull as shit.

“What about truth or dare?”

“Truth or dare?” Riley said, as if testing the words out on her tongue, “I like it. You first. Truth or dare?”

Ellie immediately regretted her decision. “Dare.”

Riley smiled. “I knew you’d choose that one.” She clicked her tongue, looking around the barely acceptable room with a pile of clothes on top of Ellie’s desk and Riley’s dirty socks strewn in front of the dresser. If Laura did a sweep tomorrow they were both going to fail. “I dare you to walk out into the hallway for thirty seconds.” Ellie’s eyes widened and they moved from Riley’s smirk to the plain brown door.

“Okay, are you going to count?”

“No, I thought Barbara would,” Riley retorted sarcastically.

Barbara was the friendly ghost that haunted their room, obviously. Maybe they could blame the mess on her.

“Barbara is a senile, I don’t trust her to count!” Ellie quietly jested.

After she checked the hallway was clear, Ellie stood in her faded jeans and white socks outside their door. It was almost pitch black, but the longer she stayed the more her eyes adjusted. It was a little suspenseful at first, but not that scary. The hall smelled slightly of bleach.

“30,” Ellie counted the last second out loud. She tried to jiggle the handle open, but it resisted. “What?” She whispered inaudibly to herself and then called her roommate’s name, “Riley?”

“That was too easy! Thirty more seconds!” She heard her whisper back through the door.

“What?! No!” Ellie half whispered, half yelled back, jerking the silver handle. The knob rattled and the noise caused Ellie to stop dead cold. She looked back down both ends of the hallway, but no one appeared. Her feet were planted firmly in place, and a chill ran up her spine, increasing her anxiety. Just then the door flew open and she was pulled by her shirt into the room. Eliie went stumbling forward, shocked.

“One minute. See I knew you could do it,” Riley said triumphantly.

Ellie shook her head, “Are you trying to get me caught?”

Riley just rolled her eyes, “Okay, scaredy cat, my turn.”

“I’m not- oh whatever. Truth or dare?”

Riley gave a knowing smile. “Dare.”

Ellie folded her arms, smirking, “I dare you to knock on Bethany's door.”

Riley lost her usual confidence for a moment, eyes widening. “That’s way more risky than yours was.”

“What, are you scared?” Ellie coyly taunted.

This brought back Riley’s usual assumed playful arrogance, “Of course not, just pointing out it’s a little unfair.”

“If you do it, I’ll choose dare next,” Ellie proposed.

“Sure, but you were going to choose dare anyway.”

Ellie wondered how she knew that, probably because truth was too boring. She couldn’t risk being accused of that again.

Riley tiptoed carefully down the darkened hall, then she turned to Ellie who waited at their cracked door. Her best friend’s head jerked between two doors across from each other.

“Which one?” She mouthed not so silently.

Ellie shrugged, she wasn’t sure.

“You mean you don’t know?” Riley whispered way too loudly.

“Shh!” Ellie held up a finger to her lips.

“Oh, fuck it,” Riley said exasperated, tossing her head back; she sprang up suddenly and knocked twice on the door to her right (barely loud enough for Ellie to hear) before sprinting back toward Ellie. Even though she wasn’t the one running, her heart was pounding as she opened the door wider for Riley to barrel through.

Riley came at full speed through the threshold, bracing herself against her bed so she could come to a sudden stop. The girls froze in their respective spots, silent, listening for any movement in the hall. Ellie crouched down with her ear as close as possible to the gap between the door and the floor; she felt Riley soon hovering beside her. She panted from her brief sprint, distracting Ellie from her mission.

Then a creak of a door and a tired “hello?” could be heard. Ellie held her breath and so did Riley, a moment of fear shared between them. Thankfully, the door snapped shut, the sound permeating the space before all fell silent again. Riley stood and Ellie followed.

“So? Was that Bethany?” Riley asked, her expression was unreadable in the murky shadows.

Ellie shrugged. “I honestly have no idea.”

They stared at each other for a beat, then the girls burst into laughter. Riley gently nudged Ellie’s shoulder. Ellie stiffened for a moment, eyes staring at the place where her friend’s palm made contact with her t-shirt.

“Okay, okay your turn. Truth or dare?” Riley steered them back to the activity. Ellie swallowed.

“Hmm, let me think about this. I don’t know, I mean I could go back on my word and say truth,” she said, smiling wide at Riley. It was hard to tell, but it looked like she rolled her eyes.

“But, I won’t - this time - dare.”

“I dare you to sneak out with me,” Riley replied immediately. She had that one locked and loaded.

Ellie looked at the clock - almost 11. “Yea okay, do you want to go to the park?”

Riley shook her head. “No, and since your first one was too easy this is a two part dare. The second part will be revealed once you complete the first part.” Her expression was stern, reminding Ellie of a teacher.

Ellie raised an eyebrow, both perfectly intact. “Steep terms, I think I need to check with my people first.”

Riley smirked, “I’m your people.”

Ellie’s heart jumped. “Okay, my people, what do you say?”

“I say you better get your ass out that window right now before I throw you out.”

Ellie chuckled, moving to the desk to grab a charcoal zip-up hoodie. She had never undressed from the day, so she was ready for the night’s excursion with little effort.

“Woah woah, such violence from the future of FEDRA. What would Laura say about that?”

“That’s not very nice ladies!” Riley used a ridiculously shrill voice to imitate Laura’s annoying scolding. Ellie laughed, standing up and making to put on her shoes, tinted gray along the bottom from dirt and mud.

—

“Okay, now will you tell me what the second part of the dare is?” Ellie half heartedly pleaded as they stalked down a dark alley. She shrugged her backpack higher on her shoulders, it kept slipping down due to the lightness - the only contents were their beaten to hell flashlights. It was damp though it hadn’t rained in a week and their footsteps splashed quietly when they made contact with the shallow muddy water. Ellie didn’t want to know what she stepped in, or why it smelled like burnt shit.

Riley’s head swiveled quickly, scanning her surroundings. Satisfied there was no one around she turned to her best friend. “Alright, so you know the 7-11 on the corner of Broad and First?”

Ellie’s brows knitted together, “Yeah…”

“You know they sell moonshine there?”

Ellie’s eyes widened. “No, Riley-“

“Come on, I know FEDRA’s schedule on that block. We left at eleven, so it’s probably, like, eleven fifteen at the most. They won’t be back for at least another forty-five minutes. We’ll be in and out before they even turn the corner.” Riley had her confident smirk that both excited and comforted Ellie, but the plan seemed sloppy at best.

“And are we supposed to just walk right in? I left my key to open all the doors in Boston on my desk,” Ellie pointed with her thumb over her shoulder, back toward the safety of their room. Not that she wanted to go back, she just wished she was as carefree as Riley was. She wished she didn’t always fear the worst.

“Won’t be a problem,” Riley tossed, “They trust FEDRA way too much,” Riley reached into her pocket and pulled out a couple of bobby pins. Ellie had seen her work, so she didn’t doubt her capabilities.

“I’m surprised you didn’t pull them out of your hair,” she chuckled, trying to still the pounding in her chest.

“I told you this is a work of art,” she waved a hand over her blonde braids, pulled back with navy blue fabric. They had frayed with time, but remained secure in the complex tie.

Ellie smiled, she didn’t want to question Riley’s plan again, but she also really wanted to question it. Still, she trusted her and she had already agreed to the dare. She couldn’t back out now - it would be fine, it would be fun.

They slipped through another alley before coming to the back door of the drug store. Riley crouched, pulling out her bobby pins and getting to work. There was little to no light here and Riley refused Ellie’s flashlight offer - way too dangerous.

Ellie watched fascinated at how adroit Riley was; her adept hands angled the small metal ridges into multiple key holes, spinning and dipping until each unlocked with quiet clicks and pops. Finally she stood, a satisfied smile clear even in the black shadows; she pulled open the creaking grated door, only to reveal another door.

“Fuck,” Ellie whispered as she noticed a key pad. She knew they wouldn’t just have a few simple locks to secure the precious holdings.

“Don’t worry, I came prepared,” Riley smiled as she nimbly entered five numbers on the pad ending with the pound sign.

Ellie gaped, “What- How?”

“I waited outside last week, fucking idiot didn’t even notice me - what can I say, I’m a pro.”

Ellie thought back to when Riley had been “sick” and missed afternoon training last Thursday.

“I knew you weren’t sick!”

“You’re too easy sometimes,” Riley chirped as she pushed open the heavy door. “Which is great for surprises.”

Ellie blushed, embarrassed. “After you,” Riley adopted the manly voice from earlier, holding open the gray door. Ellie passed through, but quickly moved to the side to let Riley take the lead. As they made their way soundlessly through the maze of shelves to the alcohol section, Eliie took in her surroundings. Like most places in the city people actually used, it smelled overwhelmingly like bleach. The glass cases in the back held the girl’s target - shelves full of 8 oz and 16 oz bottles of moonshine. Riley’s fingers hooked around the sleek metal handle on the glass door and it opened with a suctioned pop. Frigid air rushed out, Ellie could feel it on her cheeks as Riley widened the space between the door and its frame. Ellie’s dark chocolate eyes darted around the dark and empty store, some anxiety warming her gut.

“Are you going to stand there all night or are you going to pick one?” It was meant to be spirited, but came out more biting.

Riley turned her head with irritating casualty toward Ellie, “Calm down scaredy cat, I want to make sure I get the right one.”

“How do you know which is the right one?” Ellie asked innocently, she had never had alcohol before.

“I don’t, just wanted to prove I’m in charge,” her companion smiled fully and grabbed an 8 oz bottle with a clink and shut the door, ending the production of cold air around them.

Ellie stuck out her tongue, hands on her hips. Riley made a show of dancing back down the aisle triumphantly. Her back was to Ellie, who watched silently as her best friend put one hand on her hip, the other holding the bottle and swaying back and forth.

“Yea, yea we get it, you're the big guy with the plans. Can we leave now?” Something was wrong, Ellie could feel it.

Riley spun around to face Ellie, a look of amusement could just be seen underneath the shadows. “Fine scaredy-”

Just then the street was lit up with bright lights, the outside was suddenly visible from their position, meaning they were visible from the street.

“Fuck,” Ellie breathed as she noticed how much light filtered through the large glass windows. Shadows of the black grates guarding the glass from shattering spread long into the store, overtaking both girls. “Down!” Ellie whisper-yelled as the sound of the FEDRA truck drew closer. They both fell to the floor with a soft smack, the loudest noise was the glass bottle clunking against the plastic tile. Riley brought it close to her chest, but Ellie faced the front of the store unable to see her best friend from her position.

They stayed still and silent while the large tank-like vehicle rumbled down the broken street. The treads of the enormous tires made a loud thudding sound as the black beast rattled away past the shop. Ellie thought for the first time about how dangerous this actually was, and unbelievably stupid.

When the coast was clear and Ellie was able to steady her breathing, they both stood. Each stared at the other blankly until they erupted into muffled giggles - they cupped their hands over their mouths because they weren’t that stupid. Wow, it should not have been this funny, but damn was FEDRA stupid as fuck sometimes. Riley made a little farewell wave in the direction the FEDRA truck had disappeared to.

“Bye bye bitches, you forgot something!” She gleefully whispered, swinging the bottle overhead. “Okay,” she became more serious as she turned her attention back to Ellie, “let’s get the hell out of here before they come back.” She handed Ellie the bottle, who placed it gingerly into her black backpack before zipping it up as slowly as possible (probably a ludicrous action considering all the noise they made with their mouths). Riley turned the corner to the back wall, but just as she did, a voice yelling from the street cut through the air. Both girls stopped dead, terror ripping through the pair.

Ellie turned to see the vague shadow of a FEDRA soldier pointing right at them through the window. They had people on the streets too? How had they missed that? Before she could even register the lurching of her stomach, Riley took off toward the back door and Ellie could feel nothing but the urge to follow. She flew at an uncontrollable speed down the tiny aisle and went to turn the corner just as Riley did. Unfortunately her pace and frantic energy was a deadly combination because she tripped as she made it to the end of the aisle, falling face first into the shelves she had been trying to avoid.

There was an horrifyingly loud crash as the shelves full of canned provisions went toppling over, one into the other. Ellie could only feel the pain in her forearms as she tried to brace herself in the half second before she was falling into the sharp edges of the shelf.

The next thing she knew she felt a grip on her upper arm as she lay crumpled on the ground. She yelled out thinking it was FEDRA capturing her, but Riley’s voice cut through the air, “Ellie we gotta go, now!” Ellie stumbled up, hands meeting aluminum cans and the metal ends of the shelves as she scrambled to her feet. There was no time to think or feel even though her head throbbed and her heart pounded in her ears. Something was wet on her right side of her face, but she couldn’t worry about that now.

The sounds of shouting thundered behind them as they came out the back door, Riley’s hand grasping extremely hard onto Ellie’s wrist. Stomping boots echoed out of the 7-11, but they didn’t take time to look back.

It was clear Riley knew where she was going as she led them down multiple back alleys. Eventually, Ellie began to recognize where they were. They didn’t hear anyone behind them, so they must have lost their pursuers - if there had been any. Ellie’s brain was clouded by pain and fear; her heart was clenched in anxiety even as their pace began to slow.

Finally, after several minutes of half jogging-half walking with Riley’s hand still strongly holding Ellie’s wrist, they made it to the park. There were only a few street lights that actually worked so it was mostly dark. On the edge both surveyed their surroundings, taking in patchy grass and rusted playground equipment.

“I think you can let go of me now, we’re in the clear,” Ellie finished her scan of the empty park and looked down at Riley’s firm hold on her arm.

“Oh yeah, right,” her partner in crime relinquished her arm and Ellie made a little show of rubbing her wrist.

“Damn, you got a vice grip.”

“Ellie, you’re bleeding,” Riley said as her eyes fell over her companion’s right side of her face. Ellie’s hand shot up to her eye and then slid up to her brow to find the source of the blood running down her jaw. “Fuck, I didn’t even feel that.”

“It’s all the adrenaline from being a badass,” Riley quipped. She was right, the rush had prevented her from feeling the sharp pain that now throbbed hot through Ellie’s brow.

“Yeah, real badass of me to fall into some dumb shelves,” Ellie sighed, feeling embarrassed. She gazed down at the soft grass where her old shoes were splattered with dew already. She wondered what time it was.

“No-” Riley made a face before taking on a victorious persona, “a badass who stole a bottle of liquor right under FEDRA’s nose.” She pulled the sleeve of her black hoodie over her hand and brought it up to wipe away the blood on Ellie’s face. The thick red liquid still trickled, but the once strong stream was gone.

Ellie snapped up, bewildered by her friend’s positivity. She was sure she had looked foolish having to be pulled up from the mess of shelves she created with her carelessness and then dragged down the street to her freedom. Riley came closer, wrapping her arm around Ellie’s shoulder.

“Come on, badass, let’s hit the swings.”

They found two acceptable seats with strong enough chains and started swaying lightly in their respective spots parallel to one another. Only a short moment was allowed for recovery before Riley came closer, scooting her legs under the dirt and holding them in place so her body was twisted to face Ellie’s. She gestured to Ellie’s backpack which her friend eagerly shrugged off and handed to the mastermind. Riley quickly unzipped the largest pouch and pulled out the moonshine. She uncapped the bottle, unscathed despite the chaotic journey from its home to the park swings. Then she spilled a little into her hand.

“What are you doing? We just risked our lives for that!” Ellie recoiled.

“And you injured yourself. Shut up and come here,” Riley replied. Ellie faced her, scooting her swing closer. Riley pressed her alcohol soaked fingers to Ellie’s wound, rubbing it in and trying to clear the blood away. Ellie winced from the burning. It left a lightly orange smear beside her right eye.

“Um, well, it’s not perfect, but I think it’s disinfected. We’ll clean you up when we get back.”

“Is it really bad?” Ellie asked, wincing again as the alcohol continued to sting her cut.

“Nah, scars are mysterious. And hot.” Riley smiled, and Ellie felt heat creep up her neck. Riley wasn’t saying she was hot of course, just that the scars were hot.

“Cool.”

“Yeah, Bethany will be so confused. We’ll tell her you got it in a bar brawl. She’ll be too scared to try and fight you again.”

Ellie snorted at the ridiculousness of the comment, “Well at least you won’t have to protect me anymore.”

Riley was silent for a moment. Eventually her dark eyes met Ellie’s. “You know I was kidding right? You could take her if you really wanted to.”

Ellie stared at the sincere expression Riley gave her, the lopsided smile and earnest eyes. “Yeah, I know. Thanks.” The truth was, Ellie didn’t know before Riley told her. She thought she could, but when Riley said it that’s when she knew she could.

“No need to thank me, in fact I think it’s time for your second dare.” Riley snapped back to playfulness in an instant.

Ellie gaped, “Wait. What? I thought stealing was the second part.”

“I never actually dared you to do that.”

Ellie thought back. Fuck, she was right.

“Shit. Okay, so, I guess that was what, just for fun?”

“Duh, plus if we didn’t do that I couldn’t dare you to drink this,” Riley handed Ellie the bottle before releasing her hold with her feet. The swing swung out horizontally as if a short forceful breeze had pushed her away.

“Oh, well, that’s easy,” Ellie replied, taking a swig of the clear liquid. Immediate regret. She gagged, spitting out the harsh drink. The taste was absolutely vile.

Riley giggled and swam back toward her, grabbing the bottle. “First time, huh?” She took a swig, making a disgusted grimace, but swallowing without much of a gag. Ellie refused to be embarrassed again, so she swung out hard toward Riley, snatching the bottle.

“Just getting a taste for it,” she sang before taking another swig. Heat swam through her veins, though it took all her effort not to gag again. Her cut throbbed a little, but she felt little pain as she and Riley began play-fighting for the bottle. They drank and swang, joking and laughing as they always did.

“You know, I feel like I could take on ten Rudolphs right now,” Ellie said as she handed the bottle back to Riley then moved her arms out to her sides to dramatically flex her biceps. Her head was swimming and her body was hot, but in a good way. In a free, she-could-do-anything kind of way.

“Yeah I bet. I’ll take Santa. The fat bastard won’t know what hit him,” Riley replied, throwing fists out in front of her, taking on the invisible enemy. Her long fingers gripped the neck of the bottle and a little bit of clear liquid spilled out. The moonshine was only a third of the way gone.

Ellie threw her head back with a chortle. “Can you believe kids used to really believe some fat guy in a red track suit brought them presents? Like all the kids too - all in one night!” Ellie swang a bit higher, feeling her stomach drop; it was a bit uncomfortable so she let her legs stay stiff out in front of her as the momentum of her push off slowed. Riley had yet to respond.

“Riley?” Ellie dug in her heels to come to a complete halt.

“Huh? Oh yeah, pretty stupid,” Riley sighed. Ellie’s eyes snapped to her friend who did not respond with the usual fanfare. She was staring at the bottle in her hand.

“What’s up?” Ellie swung over gently nudging her shoulder before letting the force swing her back. The rusted chains rattled in the quiet night. The movement felt excessively fluid under the waves of alcohol pulsing through Ellie’s body. She hadn’t had much, but it had been more than enough to feel the effects.

“Nothing, I,” Riley kept staring at the bottle. “I was just thinking about the last time I celebrated Christmas.”

“You celebrated Christmas?” Ellie said, a little shocked. She stilled the swing, eyes tracing Riley's profile.

“I mean, not really. My mom, she tried. She said she didn’t want me to live in a world where Christmas didn’t exist,” Riley switched the hand the bottle was in and brought her arm up closer to her face. Then Ellie realized her solemn friend wasn’t staring at the alcohol, but the little silver chain around her wrist. “She didn’t have much - I mean, we didn’t, but she still had this.” Riley moved her wrist lightly so the thin silver wristlet shook. There were a few little charms attached, silver though there clearly used to be some color over them. In the darkness she couldn’t make out their shapes, but she had seen it before: a butterfly, a high heel, a heart.

Ellie had never realized the deep meaning imbedded in the sterling silver.

“She gave that to you?” Ellie asked, feeling stupid. It was obvious that her mom had given Riley the bracelet, but Ellie didn’t know what else to say.

“Yeah,” Riley sucked in a breath; harsh and quick. She swallowed. “She wanted me to have a present, this was hers when she was younger, it’s the only thing she had from before.” Even in the darkness Ellie could make out a tear trailing down her best friend’s face.

“She sounds amazing,” Ellie breathed out in leui of staying silent. She wasn’t the best at comforting people, even sober. She’d never had to really, never wanted to. Riley turned to her slightly with a sad smile, another tear following its predecessor.

“Yeah, she was.”

“I wish I could have met her.” Ellie didn’t know why she said it, but it was true. She would have loved to meet Riley’s mom. If she was anything like her daughter, she was definitely amazing.

“She would have liked you, I think,” Riley said, wiping her face. Ellie flushed and was glad the night was helping to hide it. “I miss her a lot.”

Ellie didn’t say anything. She couldn’t relate - she never knew her parents, so she didn’t know what it was to miss them.

“I just wonder sometimes,” Riley started, but then turned away and took a swig from the bottle. “Never mind.”

“No-“ Ellie said a bit louder than she wanted to. Riley jerked, surprised. “Sorry- I mean- Sorry that was loud.” Ellie scanned the park, not really taking in her surroundings. She took a breath, “I mean, tell me- you can tell me. Ugh.” Ellie stumbled over her words to Riley’s amusement.

“It’s nothing,” she replied, handing the bottle to Ellie. Her friend gratefully took it back and had another sip.

“Okay now you have to tell me.”

Riley rolled her eyes. “Um, I don’t know. It’s stupid, but I just miss her so much - sometimes I wonder if anyone will ever miss me the same way, you know?”

Ellie felt her heart squeeze - she did know, but maybe not the way Riley meant it. She looked down at her dirt covered laces.

“Sorry! Ellie, sorry - I’m stupid.” Ellie jerked up to see a terrified Riley. “I totally forgot, I didn’t mean-“

“It’s fine,” Ellie said softly. “Sometimes I think it’s better - not having parents. There’s nothing to miss.”

Riley stayed silent, watching her friend. Ellie’s eyes stayed on her shoes as they scraped across the dust gathered underneath the swing.

“I’d miss you.”

Stupid, what a stupid thing to say. Ellie kicked her heel as heat rushed to her face. That’s not what Riley meant.

“I’d miss you too.”

Ellie met Riley’s eyes once more. They were glistening in the full light from the street, the whites an off-gray, the dark brown an unending black. Her pale pink smile was soft and genuine. Ellie felt her whole body warm with the words, and she held back tears threatening to break over her water lines. Alcohol had many effects it seemed.

“Cool,” Ellie barely said it, but when she did she felt another wave of hot embarrassment.

“Cool,” Riley echoed. “Now, hand over the bottle so I can forget we got all mushy.”

“You started it,” Ellie said with a chuckle, handing the bottle back to Riley.

After what felt like minutes, but also hours, they finally returned to their room. They flung themselves into their respective beds with little more than grunts of goodnight. They only had a few precious hours before they had to be up for all day drills, and Ellie could already feel a headache coming on. She curled up on her stiff mattress, head adjusting on the flat pillow and dared to glance over at Riley who was laying on her stomach already passed out, face facing the door. Blonde stray hairs had found their way through her navy headband, settling softly on her cheek while gray shadows fell over her closed lids. Ellie thought about their conversation on the swings, feeling that comforting warmth swim through her body at the thought of Riley whispering that she would miss Ellie too.

The headache was totally worth it.

That is one mass of angry muscle!

“In the ruins of what used to be a bustling gym, stay on your edge. One lone patron still resides inside, and he doesn’t take any business from you. One fist is all it takes to crush you…” (Description by @sundove88)

Corrupted! Viviano Westwood, also known as The Muscle Golem, is an amorphous mass of muscle similar to Planet Waves, but in a big, scary, gorilla-like beast way (Who needs fingers when your muscly hooves have spikes?). His territory is (believe it or not) a Gym called "Brute Center", and this is where people exercise, earn gains, and become better at sports, even join a fight club as well! But that was a long time ago, now it is a ruin ruled by a meaty monster...

Corrupted! Viviano is far worst than before when he was human if he gets angry, he now mindlessly beat things up; Punching Bags, Treadmills, Mirrors, Cutouts of his partner Sonny Likir, everything! No wonder the writings on the walls are warning about this brute of muscles, he is pretty much hostile like a T-Rex!

The best way to survive from him is to get out of his way when he is roaming around, which you must hide in a locker and/or janitor closet...Otherwise you would be crushed like a bug by him...and you should be careful of his meteor rain, those are terrible and hiding in a closet would do much good! After you get done with the objectives in the Gym, you would end up fighting Corrupted! Viviano Westwood as a boss, once you think you have defeated him and leave the ring, you would enter a chase scene with Viviano being enraged and demands a rematch! Run until you reach the exit, which Viv was about to smash you when his crazy strength makes a hole on the ground and he falls into it, or maybe it was the ceiling collapsing, who knows? What matters is that you escaped from the Muscle Golem!

And you might be wondering what happened to Sonny? Well, after Viviano got corrupted, he was about to escape but however he got-*file not found*
