1.5k views bruh, I bet 30% of em are re-reads.

I watch on the sidelines as the last of ReaperTales stars die out leaving only darkness that will be consumed by void within hours.

Its done, all thats left for me to do is destroy 1 final au, OverSaveTale, or SuddenChanges.

The au is one of the older ones but also the most seemingly abandoned, as every time the 3rd phase is beginning to show it just heavy resets and in the process removes all its timelines. It's become quite abandoned from players and timelines because of it.

But at same time gun spam and bullet hell sounds like Ink ending territory. I need the magic either way

However, when I entered the AU I immediately noticed something wrong, can't help it really, there's straight up no au its just a giant open grey box. It seems small but I know it stretches for miles on end.

In the near distance I noticed a chair with someone on it, I don't initially recognize them but I have my suspicions considering the mass of colors.

My initial worry is cleared that it isn't Ink, but my fear spiked slightly when realizing its Fresh.

Fresh: "Yo howzit hanging mah radicool broski!?"

...

D!Error: "Could be better."

Fresh: "I can tell Dawg, ya all up n sin to wack sum pen! Is an old bro talk really that impossibruh now thatchya technically free?"

D!Error: "You already know the answer to that."

Fresh: "Heh, I guess."

We sat in silence for a bit longer.

Fresh: "Cmon bruda! Have a seat, theres some uniquely non alcoholic wine we can have whilst chillin like the 80's!"

D!Error: "I'd rather stand."

Fresh: "Suit yourself broseph." He said sipping from a cup.

D!Error: "Alright, so what have you come here for?"

Fresh: "Watchya mean dawg?"

D!Error: "Its you, your not here to just chill and chat, nor did you not have a part in whatever happened to this au."

Fresh: "Im 'Fresh' outs ideas on wachya talkn bout."

D!Error: "You've come to try and stop me I presume?"

Fresh: "Well broski, I can't really just outie 9,000 with what your tryna do. I'm forced to join the radicool party at some point. Besides, I'm on the dead mans ship at some point right?"

D!Error: "No, as a parasite your magic doesn't count as part of the multiverse. You have no reason to be apart of-

Fresh: "Wroooong!"

...

Fresh: "You said it yourself, I'm a parasite. I need hosts, I can't last alone... But your power now might be permanent enough..."

I begin to call upon my magic.

Fresh: "Ayo chill dawg, for real man we have calm before the 'hell' so calm ya unrad vibes."

Why did he pun hell? Whats he hinting at?

D!Error: "You know I'm no longer the type to just wait things til beginning right?"

Fresh: "I guess, but dude you know what? We should throw some sort of party before this goes down. Here I gotchya sumthn." He said holding a box out to me.
