Mesmerized...? 🆘 II Mesmerizer AU II Slight implied Mesm. Miku x Mesm. Teto?

🆘 1 ✴️

A/N: I'm gonna put mesmerizer art on top every time so uhm ye- (art by taiyaki-P) Also for context, right now Miku and Teto are in a dimension where all the Vocaloids/vocal synths live (If you play Project Sekai then imagine it as the tutorial place/sekai)

"Teto, I heard you got an upgrade a while ago!" Miku walks over to me, smirk on her face. I laugh at her reaction and reply, "Yeah, I got a better voicebank... Remember the days when I was just an April Fools joke...?"

The blue-haired girl laughs, the sound echoing through the white dimension. "And I thought you'd never get popular!" I watch as Miku pauses, looking around. "...Say, where is everyone else?"

"Now that you mention it, it is awfully quiet today..." I glance around too, curious where all the other vocal synths went. "Should we try and find them?"

Miku looks at me and nods. "Yeah, it's really quiet... Feels weird even..." She looks around one more time before looking back at me. "Let's go, it's kind of scary now that we mention it."

I nod, the twin drills on my head bobbing. "Okay... Let's try... there." I point to somewhere to my right, and start walking, with Miku quickly following. You could usually hear the sounds of the other vocal synths singing, talking, or fooling around, but today it was eerily quiet.

It was silent all around, and the only sound there was our footsteps and breathing. We kept on walking around, occasionally taking a turn. After a good 30 minutes, we eventually got tired.

"Where is everybody?!" Miku exclaimed, suddenly stopping in her tracks. "I give up, they'll appear eventually... Maybe it's just a prank!" She smiles, facing me.

I smile weakly at her response, but then I think about what she said and look around again. "I don't think so Miku... It's a little too quiet today... Usually, there's at least someone here." I start fiddling around with the hem of my skirt, worried.

Miku rolls her eyes and chuckles. "I'm sure it will be fine... After all, I did come quite a long way to talk to you earlier... Maybe we're just the ones that are lost!"

"Maybe..." I'm still really unsure though, since it really hasn't been this quiet before, now that I think about it carefully. It hasn't been this quiet since I was released in 2008...!

We both stand there awkwardly, not sure what to do. Eventually, I break the silence. "Should we keep on searching...? There's nothing to do anyway." Miku sighs in response. "But I'm tired!"

I stare at her, frustrated. "So you're just gonna sit here...? Fine by me, if you wanna be left alone in this empty place." I turn my head and walk off without a second glance at Miku.

Miku sighs as I walk off. "Fine fine! I'll come..." She trails after me, slowly walking along. Without turning to look at her, I mumble, "These Vocaloids aren't gonna appear by themselves you know..."

"Yeah yeah..." She picks up the pace a bit and catches up to me. "Do you think they're lost too, or is it just us?" Hearing that, I slow down a bit, thinking. "Maybe they're lost too... But either way we should focus on finding someone first..."

Miku nods and shrugs. "I'm sure it will be fine, no one has ever disappeared completely, and no one's been lost before... The connection between all us vocal synths keeps us tied anyways..."

"I'm not so sure..." I pause before speaking again. "I'm not feeling any other connection." Miku pauses too, looking far out to the distance. "Hey, you're right... There is no connection... Even between the main Vocaloids! I don't sense Meiko, or Luka, or Kaito, or even Rin at all!"

"See, told you something's off. That's why it's so quiet. Even our connections have been cut off." The more songs or connections you have with another vocal synth, the stronger a bond or connection is between two vocal synths. If Miku can't even sense Rin, that's bad...

Everyone's been so used to the connections it's almost like background noise. After all, when you've been in this place for years, and the connections have been with you all along, you hardly remember they're there, since you're so used to them being in the back of your head.

We keep walking for a while, before Miku suddenly stops, pointing at something in the distance. "Is that something...?" I squint my eyes, trying to see what she's pointing at. "I don't see anything..."

Miku rolls her eyes. "Your eyesight is so bad Teto. It's literally right there. See that spiky thing?" I take another glance, before I spot it too, a yellow spiky ball rotating in the distance. "Hey, there is something there!"

"I told you!" She runs off, bounding off into the distance, filled with energy again. "Come on, let's hurry up!"

I chuckle and follow her, picking up the pace a little bit, my hopes going up. Maybe we finally found someone...!

We run toward the object floating in the distance, eventually stopping when we reach it. It's a spiky yellow orb floating in midair, about the size of a largely inflated balloon. "What's this...?"

Miku shakes her head, pigtails swinging in the air. "Dunno. Looks cool though... Look at the way it's spinning! I could fall asleep looking at this..." I look at her, then the orb, and watch it calmly rotate in the air, the spikes pulsing slightly.

"It is kinda cool, but we didn't find anyone..." I look down at the ground and then back up at Miku and the orb. "Think this is a clue...?"

"Oh...! Maybe it is!" Miku eyes the orb. "It looks cool I want to touch it!" I glare at Miku. "What if it's dangerous...? Don't touch it for now." 

Miku shrugs. "It's fine... Everything's been fine and safe here! It won't harm if I just..." She give the orb a little poke, and it pulses a bit. "Miku... If something happens it's your fault."

Suddenly, the orb starts changing colors, flashing between black and white. "Look what you did!" I glare at Miku. "We don't even know what's gonna happen next... This is your fault."

The orb pulses faster, and Miku waves a hand in the air. "I'm sure we're safe. No harm..." She eyes the orb again, which is not only pulsing even faster, but slightly larger. "Okay maybe not..."

"Oh no..." I stare at the orb which is now changing into all sorts of shapes and practically glitching, and I take a step back. "Once again, this is your fault..."

Miku gulps, and the orb flashes really brightly this time, three smaller flashes, three brighter flashes, and three more smaller flashes, before it suddenly consumes us whole...

A/N: I hope y'all liked the first chapter :3 (cookie for the people who get references (?) in the last bit 😔) (like from when they found the orb and on)
