DSMP AU idea
Ok so what if, no one knows what went down in the button room (Pogtopia vs Manburg arc) except for Phil and Alivebur? So all the others know is that Wil disappeared, and Phil just SO CONVENIENTLY “HAPPENED” to show up literally DURING THE EXPLOSION, and was standing over Wilburs corpse wielding his sword, covered in the blood of his now-dead son.
It go really anywhere from here, personally I picture everyone blaming Phil for the explosion and assuming he killed Wilbur because he was the only witness. Or Phil could disappear without a trace and everyone assume he planned to just explode Manburg and then make it seem like he was never there in the first place. Or he could try and explain what happened, you really could go anywhere with this.
Fuck it, what if Phil blew up Manburg?? And then came back to New L’manburg to finish the job and roped Techno into it instead of the other way around? Or what if Phil pressured Techno into blowing up New L’manburg and then Techno felt bad because it was his brothers country (you’d need to mess with Techno’s character a lot for this one to work tho)? Or even vice versa for Phil?
Please someone write this I beg of you, and if you do @me so I can see it!
Pls, pretty pls. I need this.
