When he got home, the first thing SMG3 did was rush to Eggdog and giving him a big hug.
SMG3 may be a bit edgy and sarcastic, but he's not a bad dad.
"Hey little buddy, I'm home!" Eggdog barked in excitement, hugging SMG3 back as best as he could on account of him not having any hands.
God, SMG3 loved that little dog.
When SMG3 released Eggdog from his embrace he noticed that the red string around his hand went right through Eggdog. SMG3 jumped back, scared that he might have hurt his son, but Eggdog didn't seem to be in pain and tilted his head slightly to the side, seemingly confused.
"Ah, I.. im sorry. I thought.." SMG3 stared at his left hand. The string, red and thin, was still wrapped around his finger – but Eggdog didn't seem to notice.
SMG3 had already figured out that the string could pass through things. But this raised a new question.
"Hey.. Buddy?" SMG3 looked back to Eggdog "Do you.. do you not see this?" he asked, while shaking his hand around a bit. Eggdog barked, sounding excited but slightly confused, like he thought his dad was playing a game with him that he didn't understand.
But even though Eggdog didn't understand, SMG3 understood: They can't see the sting.
Lying in bed that night, SMG3 wondered what to do about the situation he found himself in.
There were two things to deal with:
First, the weird area in the forest and secondly the effects of the weird water, notably the red string around his own finger.
He already decided to contact SMG4 about the new trend, hoping for some answers from him. But he was unsure about weather or not he should tell him about the red string around his finger.
On the one hand, admitting that you touched a mysterious, powerful liquid you didn't understand was kind of embarrassing, especially for the leader of the internet graveyard. He should have known better than to make the same mistake all the other Memes made. Heck, he went out there in the first place to PREVENT people from making said mistake. And due to the fact that the string was seemingly only visible to him, it could be very easy to simply pretend that nothing was wrong.
But on the other hand, there was quite literally an unexplained magical red string around his finger that he didn't understand and that lead to some unknown place. Who knows what this thing could do? Maybe he could lose his finger? Maybe the string could slowly wrap around his full body and consume him?? Maybe it could harm Eggdog???
SMG3 shook his head. Worrying wasn't going to get him anywhere, especially not in the middle of the night.
SMG3 decided that for now, he was going to continue on as if nothing happened; researching the mysterious trend some more and figuring out a way to turn back all the changed Memes should be his top priority. He was the Ruler of this realm, he had a job to do. And as long as this string didn't cause any problems, he would continue to fulfil his duty and protect his Memes.
Then, after he had figured out a way to help the others he would find a way to apply that same help to himself, without causing any suspicion. The last thing he wanted was people finding out about his screw up and making fun of him for it. Especially if said people were SMG4.
SMG4.
The thought of him made SMG3 feel like, he was forgetting something.
But it was too late to worry about that now. SMG3 closed his eyes and slowly started to fall asleep.
