VERSE — GLITCHMIKE ( alt. security breach-based verse )

As the Glitchtrap AI develops, its memories are fueled by the pieces of William and remnant combined with the code. The memories of the Afton family are some of the strongest, enough for all the pieces of it surrounding Michael to eventually splinter off into a separate entity that slowly grows in strength alongside Glitchtrap. His development was slower, as there was no one explicitly putting him back together the way that Glitchtrap recruited Vanessa, but due to his lingering memory underneath the Pizzaplex, he eventually gained enough power to traverse through the Pizzaplex’s system and appear as an entity within the code. Where William’s memory is a virus, Michael’s is a firewall, acting as a security system against him the best he can ( though neither of them can fully stop the other ).

Glitchmike manifests as a shadowy, hooded figure wearing a Foxy mask. He cannot speak and primarily shows up through his actions, though sometimes he can hijack the system to send messages to others through pop-ups or using a computerized voice. In the Princess Quest arcade games, due to Gregory’s influence, he manifests as a wizard.

Penguin Logistics and Rhine Labs were never strongly associated; the unofficial leader of RI’s RL faction, Silence, was cordial with Penguin’s actual leader, the Emperor himself, and their interactions didn’t need to go any further. For most of their time side-by-side, the two groups really had nothing to bridge them together.

Until, that is, one arctic explorer joined from Rhine Labs. Magallan, the bright-eyed cold-weather drone specialist loved by her colleagues, had already spent some time with the Emperor. She’d visited the far north many times, and being a Liberi with some penguin-like features herself, she got along quite well with the true avians there. It was only natural that she’d find the Emperor absolutely adorable. What the employees of Penguin Logistics hadn’t quite expected was for Maggie, as the Emperor called her, to become an honorary member of PL...in a sense. After all, it’s not like his girlfriend wouldn’t be involved in the company’s affairs somehow, right?

As for the logistical concerns of their relationship...that’s not our place to speculate.

A week after she first arrived at Rhodes Island, Magallan learned that the Emperor spent a substantial amount of time in a sector of RI dedicated to him and his people; essentially, he bought that portion for his people as another of his bases, but after some time working with the Doctor and his people, it made more sense to make it their main post. He was commonly found in their office, playing hip-hop or some of Sora’s music while doing paperwork, which made him easy enough to find.

“Excuse me,” Magallan called out into the lobby of Penguin Logistics, “but is Emperor around?”

“Oh, hey, Miss Maggie! He’s in his room in the back - you can’t miss it.” Exusiai directed her from the couch, where she was splayed out, a magazine in her hands.

She nodded, mentally preparing herself. It had been awhile since she’d seen him, honestly, and even knowing he wasn’t the sort to change, what she wanted to ask him today...she had good reason to be nervous. Like Exu had said, it wasn’t hard to figure out that the room that smelled like fish and liquor was his, especially with the rap tracks pouring through the crack under the door. Taking a deep breath, she knocked on the door. “Hey, Emperor? Do you have a minute?”

“Maggie?” The music turned down several notches, enough for her to hear the skittering of his feet across his room. A minute or two later, he opened his door. “As I live and breathe. When’d you get here?”

“A week ago. I was getting my workshop and everything set up, but I heard you were here, so...Gotta minute?”

Emperor swung the door wide open, gesturing around an office/bedroom in wild disarray. “Sit anywhere, move anything, don’t matter. I’d get you a throne, but Bison’s out right now.”

“Bison?” She perched herself on his bed, legs dangling over the side. “Is he new?”

“Yeah, new intern. Good kid, needs to learn to let loose. You’ll meet ‘em. Whatcha wanna talk about?”

Maggie blushed. “Right. Um...Do you want to go ice-skating some time?”

“Hell yeah! I know just the spot.” He crossed his flippers. “You alright, Maggie?”

“Oh, I’m more than alright,” she smiled.

Emperor nodded. “Good shit. When you wanna go? I’ve got all the time in the world for you.”

“So we can go tonight?” Maggie hopped off the bed and walked over to where he was standing by his desk. “If that’s alright with you, I’m gonna go home and change. Call me when you’re good to go?”

“Sure thing, Magpie.” He stretched his neck up and clicked softly and happily as she ruffled his feathers in just the right way. There were a few people who could get away with something like this, but he only asked for it from Magallan. No one else knew the right spots without being told.

After a good ruffling, she kissed his forehead and went on her way. A quick shower, a can of sardines, and a rifle through her closer later, and Magallan was ready. The phone rang not long after she’d gotten dressed. “Hello?”

“Hey doll, how’s it kicking?” Emperor chuckled, a very birdlike variant of the sound. “Texas is gonna take us out there; they froze a lake out near Chernobog fighting that rabbit-girl from Reunion the Doc’s got on ice in the medbay, and it’s pretty lit.”

“Sounds good to me. Wait, we’re taking care of someone from Reunion?”

He made a noise she understood to be shared confusion. “Beats me, Magpie. We’re on the way to grab ya, if you’re good.”

“I’m ready when you are.” Maggie giggled. “Poor Texas, though.”

“Don’t worry, I worked somethin’ out for her, too.”

A voice from the front seat. “Hi, Maggie!”

“Hi, Sora!” She giggled again. “Alright, I’ll see you soon.”

“Sure will. Tex, juice this puppy, we ain’t got all day!”

-

Magallan and the Emperor rode in the back of the car, the penguin sitting in Maggie’s lap, while Sora flirted with Texas in the front. As they drove at impressive speeds, propelled by the Lupo in the driver seat’s lead foot, the two of them made small talk, catching up from their time apart and falling back into their lovey-dovey rhythm. They’d always had a way of picking right back up where they’d left off, but because of their frequent absences from each other, it meant not much progress in between. And frankly? Both of them were tired of that. The Emperor didn’t just keep a bunch of cute girls (and Bison) around because they were effective; he needed distractions, and having a couple of Angels for his Charlie certainly made that easier...but Maggie wasn’t just another girl. His little Magpie was a Liberi closer to him than the vast majority, a well-blended mix of cheerful and rational who could temper his admittedly over-the-top personality if it needed to be, and she was cute as all hell, which amplified her other positives because he’d be paying attention to her regardless. To Magallan, the Emperor was simply incredible - a penguin, a penguin of all things, with enough mastery of Ancient language to become a successful rapper renowned for his skills and owner of perhaps Terra’s greatest logistics company (if not in size, then in spirit)? He was utterly fascinating to her, but it went further than that. The Emperor was a bad boy, the kind of person who took what he wanted when he wanted it, and yet he showed her nothing but patience. If he’d wanted, he could have had at any time, but something held him back. That kind of self-restraint was so hard to explain with the rest of his character, it had to mean something, didn’t it?

They arrived at the lake, and while Texas parked the car, Magallan and the Emperor headed directly for the ice. With one click of her heels, Maggie had her ice skates ready to go, and her date simply extended a flipper for her to hold as he slid on his feet.

“I’ve never seen a penguin skate,” she mused, watching him more than the lake around them. “Have you been practicing?”

“When your lady loves the ice, ya gotta stay fresh, so every now and again I come out for a skatin’ sesh.”

Maggie chuckled. “A rhyme for every occasion.”

“It’s not about memory, but flow, you see. Tell me, doll, why’d you invite me out this eve?”

“I wanted you back around once I had my feet on the ground; I never guessed I’d be so blessed to find you in the same town.”

He chirped for joy. “You’ve been practicing, too.”

“Gotta keep up with my boo.”

“I’m glad you do...damn.” He shook his head. “Missed the perfect line.”

Maggie smiled. “You make mistakes? I thought they were just fakes to trick the fools who don’t grasp the stakes?”

“When we’re the only two here to hear? No joke, though - shoulda said ‘Damn, I love you.�� Waste of a verse, might as well toss me in the hearse.”

“...Could we instead turn back on that subject and converse?”

Emperor looked up at her, bemused. “You know I love you.”

“I do...it’s just, you’ve never said it before.”

“Like you said, I make mistakes.” He shifted his weight to one foot as they rounded the lake’s steepest curve. “Not saying that more often is high on that list.”

She blushed. “Empy...”

“Oh, why you gotta be so damn cute.”

“When we get back,” Maggie asked, “do you wanna come over to my place for a nightcap?”

Expressing the cocktail of emotions the suggestion flooded him with wasn’t an easy task. “You askin’ me to come over?”

“At least for a drink...maybe more.”

“Lordy, lordy, lordy.” He set his other flipper to his head. “Ladies ask me back all the time. Never thought you’d follow the line.”

Magallan rolled her eyes. “Then stop holdin’ out on me, Empy.”

“Alright, then. Tonight’s the night.”

“Alright!” Without warning, she picked him up and began twirling. “You don’t wanna know how long I’ve been waiting, baby.”

Emperor flapped his flippers rapidly as if he could slow his spinning down this way. “Whoa, whoa, I getcha, I getcha, but I’m gonna retch if ya don’t quit twirlin’!”

“Sorry!” She straightened out as she let her radial momentum dissipate.

“It’s fine, you’re excited.” He shook his head with a chuckle. “We’ll go whenever you wanna.”

Maggie chirped happily. “We’ll let them have a little more time...and then you’re all mine for the night.”

You can use Pinterest, Instagram, and a few other bridal sites for your perfect bridal style. Once you know the type of wedding style you want you can start meeting with potential wedding vendors. You can even create Pinterest boards that will help you convey the right message to your wedding vendors.

6. Involve Your Partner

You do not need to do everything all alone, or take care of everything all alone. In fact, get your significant other involved in the process.

Involving your significant other in the process will make your wedding planning process fun for both.

7. Select Your Wedding Party

13. Hire Wedding Vendors You Are Comfortable With Them

When you will start searching for wedding vendors you will encounter many of them. Just don’t hire them for your big day as they told you few rosy things, better get reviews about their services and see whether they are good at their work or not, it is not just enough to have a vendor, you need to be comfortable with the vendor. No matter how much time it takes to finalize the vendors but go with the ones you are comfortable with, otherwise you will feel exhausted.

14. Stick To Your Wedding Outfit Budget

For sure you have fixed some budget for your wedding dress too, wedding dress shopping is fun, especially for brides it is super fun, and in flow people just go beyond their budget only in buying their wedding dresses. That’s fine if you want to look different on your wedding but that doesn’t mean you will go beyond your budget for that. It’s better to tell the designer or the store manager your budget in the first place and accordingly see dresses in that budget only. You will surely get a dress of your choice in your budget too.

You also know that wedding dresses are hardly used in any function later after the wedding. I won’t say that it is sheer wastage of money as it’s not just a dress but one’s emotions and sentiments are attached to it. Still, you need to act wisely while shopping for your wedding outfit. Also, just don’t buy the first dress you come across, see options, in different stores too, and compare prices. You never know, you might get the same dress which you saw in another store the other day that is less expensive in the one you just entered. Be open about your budget, style while buying your wedding outfit.

15. Read Your Contracts Thoroughly

Whether you like reading those big documents or not, but reading contracts is crucial! Yes, it is crucial to read all the contracts thoroughly. Ensure all the details are correctly mentioned, especially read through most important things like payment and cancellation policies before signing. Also, check it twice or thrice that the venue, date and event times are correctly mentioned in the contract. Otherwise you know…. I don’t think I need to tell..!!

16. Sometimes Second Opinions Are The Best To Have

Sometimes second opinions seem confusing to few people, but believe you me, when planning for your wedding and hiring your vendors it is always good to investigate prices and other details from vendors before signing the final contract and handing over the token money. This way you will not have any reason to regret later for getting vendors at high prices. A little bit of investigation can help you save money and keep things in your budget also which you can spend later on your honeymoon may be…!!

17. Research Your Wedding Venue Options Thoroughly

It is again important to research the wedding venue properly. Investigate packages, prices, and any restrictions from at least 4 – 5 potential wedding and reception venues before you actually sign on the dotted line. You can also ask for the reference from your near and dear ones.

18. Make Your Wedding Website

Of course, your wedding guests, and the ones that you have invited for your wedding will have a lot of questions for you. It will help you avoid getting unnecessary emails, text messages, and voicemails from your guests. Put each and every detail related to your wedding on your website so that your guests get every information from there itself.

19. Plan DIY In Advance

Of course, DIY wedding décor will be cost-effective and will help you add personal touch to your wedding. But make sure you plan DIY well in advance. You can DIY, table numbers, wedding favors, décor items, games, etc.

20. Book Your Officiant Well In Advance

Your wedding is possible only when you have an officiant who will say verses in your wedding. In the peak of the wedding season, it becomes really tough for one to get a good officiant so it is good if you book one well in advance to avoid last minute chaos and compromising with the not so good officiant. You time and you should plan things way too ahead.

21. Start Your Beauty Regime Well In Advance

As you know that your wedding is a once in a lifetime occasion, you must know this also that you must look the best in your big day which is only possible when you will make time for your beauty regime. It’s not that you will visit a parlour just a month before your wedding and everything will fall in place. No, not at all, all the pressure, exertion, you have taken for all these months to prepare for your wedding will not go all at once in a few parlour visits. For getting that bridal glow you have to follow a beauty regime which starts at least six months prior to your wedding. Look beautiful and be beautiful… your wedding is no ordinary event.

22. Spend Some Time With Your Significant Other

It is really crucial that you spend your time with your significant other. Spending time together will help you relax a bit and have a nice break together. You cannot ignore each other in the process of wedding planning, it will create unnecessary distance, which is not wise. Instead, plan out some activities on weekends and spend some time together before your wedding. It will help you create a strong bond. You can even plan a pre-wedding photo shoot, a small vacation or a night out.

23. Don’t Stress Yourself Out For Anything

Even if you want everything perfect and certain things go exactly not your way, it is perfectly fine, you don’t need to care for everything. It is a wedding and many things happen and don’t happen. If you will care for every large and small thing then for sure you will find yourself stuck in the process and the big picture that is your wedding will be left behind. It is crucial for you and your spouse to stay free mentally and enjoy the whole process of wedding planning. Stay Cool…

24. Plan Your Bachelor/Bachelorette

Plan your bachelor/Bachelorette party at least three days prior to your wedding. It will give you time to come out of your hangover on time. Also, be careful about the substances that you would be taking in your bachelor’s party. Remember that you can’t go high on any substance that can spoil things in the name of fun. Your friends may want you to have anything or everything for the sake of fun or bachelor’s party. However, you need to be clever about what all you should take.

25. Do Not Overdo Anything.

Alcohol is commonly associated with any kind of celebration, and your wedding is the biggest celebration for that matter. So, you need to avoid any excesses at your wedding reception. Have alcohol but in moderation. Never at any point forget that it’s your wedding and maintaining self-discipline is a must!

26. Don’t Miss To Make Your Wedding Legal

Amidst all the wedding planning don’t miss to get your marriage license or make your wedding legal. Gather the necessary documents and apply for the wedding license early on.

27. Plan Your Honeymoon

Whether you are planning to have a delayed honeymoon or you are planning to leave just after the wedding for your honeymoon. Make sure you plan everything related to the honeymoon well in advance, like tickets, accommodation, etc. You can also consider hiring an agent who can take care of all your travel needs and plan your honeymoon as per your requirements.

28. Hire A Professional

Hiring a wedding planner can help you deal with the stress efficiently. Wedding planners are skilled people who can help you create your wedding the way you have always dreamt of it. So, consider hiring a professional for your wedding.

29. Be Thankful

Be thankful to the people who help you create a wonderful wedding event. You can arrange for gifts for your wedding party and for the ones who help you in your wedding planning journey. You can consider giving them something that they can cherish all their lives and have it as the keepsake of your wedding. Giving something to people will help them know that you really care for their efforts and you are grateful to them.
