Oh Boo Hoo!

Ironically, it was a Dark and Stormy Night

WARNING: this is literally a murder backstory chapter, I've set warnings where the worst of it starts, and there will be a summary if you need it, but be cautious as the backstory will contain: suffocation, stabbing, blunt force trauma, broken bones, basically torture at one point, blood, and death, obviously.

And just another reminder that I write about the characters and not the people!!!! We already know this, but just in case <3

It's been a week since the boys did their little ghost hunt.

Surprisingly, Wilbur actually uploaded the thing to youtube; with permission from Quackity, Techno, and the three ghosts that haunted them of course.

The entire purpose of the video was to deny absolutely any and all evidence of supernatural happenings. And Wilbur feels like they accomplished that perfectly! Even though they ran into a few bumps along the way. Such as not telling Quackity that the video wasn't supposed to be taken seriously.

And maybe... he should've told Quackity beforehand that ghosts are real, their house is haunted by three of them, and their names are Tommy, Tubbo, and Ranboo. That they're super sweet kids that absolutely everyone loves, and yes, Techno believes in ghosts now too, keep up dude.

It was a lot to spring on him within the span of five minutes while sending off Techno to do the audio recorder. Tommy went with him, if that wasn't obvious by the audio results. Quackity took it surprisingly well, at least while the camera was rolling. The second it was turned off, and once Phil was home, Quackity immediately exploded into question after question towards all of them.

The shock on his face when Phil said that ghosts are real was unbelievably funny.

Anyway, when Wilbur uploaded the video to the eyes of the internet, he didn't expect it to go anywhere. He just thought it'd get lost in the millions upon millions of videos uploaded to that site.

But surprisingly, it's doing scarily well.

One million views and rising. The entire ghost hunting community is screaming about it too, analyzing each piece of evidence and clamoring to scream their opinions for people to hear. There are reactions to the video, video essays, there's fights over if it's real or fake, and Wilbur has been contacted through comments, and somehow through the email that's connected to his account. Which is terrifying. Actual business people are trying to ask him for follow ups or if he wants to join their team under contract.

He left absolutely no information on that post, and his youtube profile is literally named, "GhostBoi11". No one should have found the video in the first place. He doesn't even have a profile picture.

But now it's the talk of the entire ghost hunting community, and Wilbur could care less right now.

His focus is on the boys alone. There's no time or need to respond to the world immediately, he can do so when... well, when their boys move on.

The past five days have been chalk full of activities. They've gone to a movie together, to a musical (Tommy jumped on stage and tried his best to participate in the performance. It made the entire thing even more enjoyable than it already was. He even got Ranboo and Tubbo to join in eventually), parks, museums, an aquarium, and plenty of time outside. Phil was somehow able to get approved for a last minute vacation request too, meaning he was spending all of his time with his family.

Wilbur and Techno also tried to casually drop the fact that their eyesight was healed now, but Phil made them explain exactly how it happened and the entire interaction with Bad and Ant from their first meeting to where Ant magically healed them.
