Week 0: Monday

[pathopen]

[He's pressed the power on button, but it doesn't seem to have done anything to this computer.

Maybe... it was broken to begin with?]

Have you used these before?

[greatvalue]

... Yyyyyes...?

[Except he is staring at it like it's an alien artifact. Which it kind of is for him. Also, he has a friend! The bird is just chilling on his head.]

But it, uh, looks different. From the one I saw in the human realm.

[pathopen]

[ A little guy! Meanwhile nameless has a black ribbon around his wrist in a bow. ]

I've never encountered anything like these before.

Human realm?

[greatvalue]

Where the humans live. But I think they actually call their world... Earth? [He shrugs, looking at him a little thoughtfully now.] Where do you come from— uh? Oh. Huh. You know, I don't think your name was on that "bicker" thing.

[pathopen]

I was made in a lab.

[That's an easy answer.]

I didn't have a name when I died.

week zero, saturday.

[greatvalue]

[They are back in the computer lab... Except this time they have probably aged like 20 years in 9 hours. Help. Hunter plops down on one of the chairs, while Flapjack hops all over one of the keyboards.]

Are you okay after all that?

[pathopen]

[hunter's revenge.

He looks very tired, but honestly? Who doesn't? Nine hours and a lifetime (not nameless's) of stress.]

I'm okay... Are you?

[greatvalue]

[He nods, kicking the ground and just kind of sliiiiiding down the row of computers slightly.]

Tired. But who isn't after whatever that was?

[pathopen]

[His shoulders sag as he's reminded of 9 hours of chaos]

I think most everyone is exhausted. The personal demons don't seem impacted.

[He desperately hopes that this doesn't happen again. But we are in a murder game.]

[greatvalue]

'Course they don't. They didn't have to lift a finger today, we tortured each other enough.

[They had to watch Akira sniff feet for two hours... Hellish.]

week one, friday.

[greatvalue]

[Mamma mia, here we go again... Hunter zooms right for him once he spots him somewhere in the void.]

You okay?

[pathopen]

[He's not hard to spot, but he is sitting on the floor and staring at the announcement on his phone, unsure of what to do next.]

I'm... Yes?

[He is physically fine, at the very least.]

[greatvalue]

... Okay.

[He sits down next to him, frowning.]

And how are you, uh... feeling?

[pathopen]

Upset... I was with her and I didn't notice anything was different at all.

[greatvalue]

... It was the same. With Hunter. Everything was fine until it wasn't.

week two, monday.

[greatvalue]

[Hunter has his hands pressed to one of the aquarium tanks, watching the angler fish do whatever angler fish do.]

... I've never seen fish like these before.

[pathopen]

[Ah yes, one of the scariest deep water fish that exist on earth right now.

He peers at the fish with Hunter.]

I've never seen a fish. What are yours like?

[greatvalue]

Uh... Bigger. Potentially deadly when provoked. And they can survive in boiling waters? [a beat.] The fish in the human realm are... different, though.

[pathopen]

...

Are your seas regularly boiling?

[Bro where are you from.]

[greatvalue]

Yes...? I come from the Boiling Isles. Even our rain is boiling.

week seven, monday.

[greatvalue]

[HELLO, SWEET CHILD OF A THOUSAND NAMES... Wherever he is enjoying his ice cream, Hunter suddenly swoops down from the sky on his staff to land nearby, waving at him.]

Hey! It's been a while.

[pathopen]

[Everybody can call him whatever they'd like, and he will simply accept it.

He's at the park, and watching everybody else go through their days.]

It has been. Is that your friend? [Flapjack the also staff??]

[greatvalue]

[He nods, watching as Flapjack reanimates and detaches himself from the staff. The staff itself then seems to just disappear in his hands.]

Did I never tell you? Flap's part of my staff.

[Flapjack flies over to greet him. Hello, Cosmos Mikiri Belial the Third.]

[pathopen]

I had no idea. That's amazing.

[ Hello Flapjack, what has he done to become a Belial. Is he somehow horny enough for this title? ]

[greatvalue]

[He will be horny one day... Literally. Or maybe not because he might not become a dragon if he skips the heart surgery? Oh, well.

Hunter opens his mouth, but so does the ground beneath them. Time to get schlurped into the memory hole, kids. Something starts to play on the screen as soon as they land.]
