To Watch

[strangerpeople]

[All is quiet on this day. There is nothing here on the islands that will torment or spook the new residents at least for now. But the Composer with them is bored out of her damn mind. She thinks to look at her non functioning cellphone for some source of entertainment but when she turns it on, her eyes widen.]

Kami forfend...!

[And she runs through the circus, at first heading towards where the Strangers, Seven and the weird clown is staying. However, she keeps spotting them during her path...cellphones. They too also seem to be on and when she looks at the screen, she grabs it and runs to grab more. When she arrives back to the group, Yotsuyu's arms were full with phones and she feels like her legs are about to give in.]

Hey! You may want to look at these! I don't know how they got here or what is going on but we may get something out of it! Seven, check your phone too!

[If the person grabs one of the cellphones, they will be able to see a video feed with sound. Of what exactly...it's something to grab their attention. Time to see what happens.]

Incubators? You mean-

Oh, HELL NO! THIS HAD BETTER NOT BE WHAT I THINK IT IS!

[bendwiththewind]

You know of those little shites?!

[zackthekiller]

There's more than one?!

[Well, this is starting to hit close to home.]

That thing showed up in Town A offering wishes to whoever got away with murder that week!

[7_0_7]

Don't look at your phone if you want to think there's no more than one.

[because yeah... those are a ton of red eyes in the dark.]

[zackthekiller]

[Too late. His knee jerk reaction is to try and crush his phone on sight before tossing it at the ground.

Not that it did any harm to those many eyes on the feed.]

ARGH! GOD DAMN IT, JUST TOSS THOSE LITTLE SHITLORDS INTO THE SUN ALREADY!

[notthebreakman]

["It might even save all of you from the Great Malfunction! You and other universes."

Proto doesn't know what these things are. But judging by everyone's reactions, it can't be anything good. And the wording that voice used...]

It has no intention of saving anyone, does it. It only said her sacrifice might fix things.

[7_0_7]

Argh, this sucks! She's been using their technology! They'll consider her to be in her debt...if she doesn't contract at this point, those little bastards will probably kill her anyway!

[zackthekiller]

They have TECH?!

[7_0_7]

Of course! What kind of alien doesn't have super advanced alien tech?

[zackthekiller]

Uh... That's an alien? I thought it was magical bullshit.

[7_0_7]

Nope! They came from space. Surprise~

Hmm, if I didn't know better, I'd like them a lot...

[SPACE CATS]

[zackthekiller]

Why? You'd wanna fuck yourself up for a wish?

[7_0_7]

I'll pass! I just have an interest in aliens. Also animals... also the universe! As it is, they're more like fun adversaries.

[zackthekiller]

Eh... I say they're more like cosmic assholes to me.

[zackthekiller]

Grrr....

[He glances up at Proto here.]

Hey, you know what those things do? They go around asking random girls for wishes in exchange for turning them into magical girls, and then they screw 'em over! Fucking assholes, that's what they are.

[notthebreakman]

[He looks back at Zack and glowers.]

By offering them a "contract" without explaining all the terms beforehand, I take it?

[Yeah, that doesn't sound very kosher. Even if he's still missing a lot of the details, targeting the vulnerable by offering them power is scummy no matter who or what you are.]

[zackthekiller]

YEP! [That is a very angry "yep" because MC just fucking made the contract.]

GREAT! We're all probably FUCKING SCREWED!

[notthebreakman]

No... no, they--something's happening. The others are--I don't understand, how would that...

[Proto watches as the survivors rush to the Throne, as the barrier begins to form, as the Incubators begin to protest.]

Zack... whatever this is, I don't think it's going according to those things' plan.

[zackthekiller]

Huh...?

[He's watching Proto's phone closely... Well. No chance in hell he is ever gonna understand the reasoning behind whatever this is but...]

Yeah... No shit...

[If this is like that ritual back in Town A...]

[notthebreakman]

[And then RGB starts leading everyone in a song, and that's it. Proto Man lets out a rough bark of a laugh as artificial tears finally slip free from his eyes and run down his cheeks.

After everything that's happened, all the pain, all the sacrifice... it could still go wrong, but it's finally about to end, one way or another.]

Keep smiling through...
