For the time being, updates are going to slow down.

Aleta: Talk to THE OTHER GIRLS. You know, in your imagination!  What the FUCK! these people aren't "in your imagination!" to even suggest such a thing is to deny their rights as things that exist! Culpable! Reprehensible! Disgusting!  Yeah, that's probably a good idea. Your mother always said "It's either fight of flight" And frankly, its pretty hard to fight someone when they are also the perspective character Kaira: Try and get everyone back on track  It has been somewhere close to a minute and yet nothing continues to happen. Your mother would always say "It's fight of flight" And in this situation, that means taking a dose of your own medicine and doing something.  Kaira: You know,
Kaira: As it happens,
Kaira: I too, am not a fan of dying.
Kaira: Considering this, it might be a good idea to, you know...
Kaira: Do something that helps?
Kaira: With you know...
Kaira: The whole not dying thing.
 Sarah: Oh yeah... :/Sarah: Sorry about that... :/Sarah: we probably should be focusing on this...Sarah: That said, I do think that it's important to have fun even in situations like this!Kaira: Maybe...Kaira: But our lives are on the line...Kaira: And even if we can last a whileKaira: The green girl isn't exactly stable,Kaira: And our lack of freedom will eventually lead to some murder mystery shit if we don't keep making progress.Kaira: So we need to get out of here as soon as possibleKaira: We need to focus.
 Sarah: Yeah...
Sarah: Your probably right...
Sarah: Me and Eliot are still eating though...
Sarah: But if you want, you can search around the big cube...
Sarah: Tell us if you find anything! Kaira: Try searching for clue's around the cube  That's probably a good idea!  Especially considering how close "The Fuck" really is!
NEWS POST Don't worry Con Air, your going to get to be Aleta for a while soon enough. For now though, its important to note that I plan for the next bit to be an animation followed by a pretty large amount of panels, and those panels will probably take longer then usual panels due to what they are exactly. Point is, they'll take a bit, especially since I have lots of work right now aswell. If there's significant wish for it, I might just post the animation once its done, then have a smaller break for the panels. As a preview, the song I plan to use can be found here |

 "  " is not your name, and frankly, its a little rude. Your name is Hugo Raphael, and you've finally succeeded in your goal. Either that, or your going insane... But at this point, those two things are pretty inseparably anyway.  Despite keeping things ambiguous for the sake of "shocking plot twists", you do of course have the other problem of also being trapped in a cube without a problem. which paradoxically, is a huge problem. Ofcourse, from what you can tell, all the cubes actually do have "problems" that can be solved to let you free, but as a loophole, this one changes its components anytime you look away, making it impossible with only one person. And considering how the stories progressing, it's unlikely another person is likely to appear in this cube any time soon... You have one tool at your side however!  Despite it's incredible power given the time to fully design something, and despite you having all the time in the world, this thing is almost useless here. This world is fundamentally different to yours in everything from how gravity works to how light bends, making it somewhere between hard and impossible to make anything that could be useful in the "Getting out of this cube" thing. That said it is still probably one of the most powerful Items out there (although that's probably true of most Items) and is fundamental to this story (although that's also probably true for most Items)  What will you do?
NEWS POST I still wonder how many people read these. That said, no matter what happens, the next update is going to start a large amount of panels that will be naturally longer to draw. There will also be a lot of them, so i'll be stopping whenever I reach a story beat so updates still come pretty consistently. |

Hugo:Do you understand the concept of eyes? If so, create a bunch of semi-autonomous eyes to examine the contents of the box while you handle it.  You seem to missing a pretty key part of the typo-riddled Item description. Mainly, the third part. The one that says 'In every way'. While certainly, even despite your use of spectacles, you do understand the concepts of an eye, that doesn't mean you understand all of the minor concepts, such as how it works on a biological level. You do actually understand how an eye works on a biological level of course. With an Item like this, only an idiot wouldn't devote themselves to learning every key concept they can. However, as you have already stated, this world is fundamentally different from your own, so no matter what you used to understand about the biology of an eye, it has all been dashed under the hooves of annoying white space with cube stars. >Create a ham sandwich with one slice of cheese and some mayonnaise on wheat bread.  You know, you, command poster, don't have to describe the creation in its entirety. It's perfectly fine to let me choose my own type of sandwich to create. You gave me a ham sandwich, but what if I was Jewish? You gave me a slice of cheese, but what if I was lactose intolerant? You gave me mayonnaise, but what if I was vegan? That said, you are not any of those things, and this sandwich is fine. But remember that I also have opinions next time. Hugo: Personalize Strangeness.  Um... both strangeness and personalise are pretty vague... You could have been more precise with that one actually... um...  Here! The sandwich we you just made can go in this little container here! That's very personal! It says so much about your personality! Like... like how you like... not dying from hunger... you guess... Hugo: Consume Trivex. You should understand yourself, and you are what you eat.  What the fuck...
 What the double fuck... okay, messing around time is over, we need to get to the whole "Shocking Twist" thing. I'm going to be choosing the commands for a while  Look at you (me) using comedic rules. We've used 'The Fuck' to represent something we don't understand 3 times now. First we slowly progressed towards the fuck. Then we fuck did. And now i'm getting to become "The Fuck"! Wowee! This is some high quality joke construction! It nearly makes all the pain and turmoil worth it! That said, you lack the ability to project the necessary flashback to explain all these "Shocking Twists", so your instead going to draw them. On Paper. Like an animal! Hopefully this should help everything start to make sense.  I was a student at the same Gay School as Sarah. It's notable of course what not everyone there was actually gay, and the school was really just named after its creator, Fredrick Gay. That said, it's name and reputation did naturally build up a high percentage of LGBT+ and similarly marginalised people, myself included, as a place that promised next to no discrimination. This school is where this story really begins. But before we get to that, first lets explain some things that may be immediately pressing to explain.  That girl with the bow that destroyed the cube just a few panels ago. Her name is Grace. She went to this school too. I never learnt her last name, so I'm sorry if that becomes a plot twist later on, but frankly, me mentioning it now would make it a pretty stupid twist anyway. She was pretty popular, if only because she was pretty pretty. That said she was also a pretty nice person and was big on making friends. Some suspected she was just building a harem, but from what I've heard of her, she doesn't sound like the type. Her Item, the bow on her head, called 'Corbusier', had the incredibly powerful ability to use any Items ability that it knew existed. Like all Items of this nature however, it had in incredibly large and philosophically dangerous downside. To use 'Corbusier' you would also become more like the person you stole the power from in personality. Grace lacked the necessary Identity Death fetish to take full use (or any use for that matter) of her Item.  Grace and Sarah, as it happened, where Best Friends. BFF's if you wish to use outdated and often inaccurate slang. They would spend much of their time together, going on adventures, chatting online, playing silly tabletop and video games. They where the platonic relationship that people dreamed to one day have. That said, it was 6 months before I entered this stupid universe that she died. |

 There was of course a ceremony for the girls death, although I never learnt how she died. Only her closest friends and family learnt that. So yeah, sorry again if that becomes a twist later on, but it would be incredibly stupid if that was a twist, since again, I already mentioned it. That said, as you've probably already noticed from my masterful drawing skills, the main reason why this school is so important is that everyone in this stupid bloody white space is from the school. We all came here for one reason or another (as people do). That said, we barely ever interacted, and unlike my beautiful representation, logically Sarah was the only one of us in the front row. I'm unsure about exactly what this all means, but us all being from one place creates a connection, and means that it isn't all just random.  While i'm unsure exactly how I was transported here, it was 5 months after the ceremony that this started. With only my blanket and trivex in tow I was gonna figure out what was going on, because frankly, nothing really made any sense and i'm still not entirely sure i'm not just dreaming (although that would be an incredibly stupid twist). Then of course I found out that the universe (or atleast this universe) hates me, because this cube is impossible to complete and this universe seems to be expressly built to stop me from using Trivex for anything but making food, drink, and some other very basic commodities. Nothing made any sense, and frankly, I was going a little insane from the lack of things to do or people to talk to.  Then I saw her. I saw Grace flying in the middle of this space, although much more obscurated then usual. She didn't give a glance, but I could already tell what had happened. I'm not sure how she survived, considering I don't know how she died, but at some point between then and now, she had stolen my power. I could see it in her, she wasn't like she used to be, she was an amalgamation of several personalities trying to take control. Mine included. That was the final piece of the puzzle. Everything started making sense. She had used my ability over those 6 months to study and create this universe. She wasn't dumb and knew that I could do something to stop her given the time and focus, and that I probably would, so she created a universe where that was impossible. I don't know why she created this universe, but she gave me an idea. |

whoops, I forgot, i wanted to put this news post with the thing, but whatever.
As a note posts like grubleafeater's will be responded to once this flashback like thing is done.
Feel free to keep posting stuff like that, and i'll get to it once this is done, which it nearly is. |

 There must be other people here! If this universe was simply a device to act as a (rather time consuming to make) prison for me personally, it would make sense that other people weren't here! But then why would she be floating around like that! She'd have to be an idiot to do that!.. And... since she's part me, I'm pretty invested in hoping she's not an idiot... All I needed to do was connect with these people! This universe couldn't possibly counter everyone's abilities! That said, this universe still explicitly counter's mine...  When someone's chances of being born go above 0%, The Soul of an Item is born. As soon as any potential timeline, however unlikely, allows for a being's birth, the spark of new potentiality create's the Item's Soul. An Item's soul has infinite power, it can do literally anything! Although it lacks the will and necessary fetishes to do so.  Item Soul's are born in a universe that orbits my own, similar to how a moon would a planet, or how a stalker would someone who's internet famous. The orbiting universe feeds of of the larger universe's leftover creation energy. As something is created in the larger universe, the orbiting universe create's its equivalent using these leftovers. This is how Item's are born.Despite this of course , they are still two different universe's , and thus work very differently. When a person's chance of being born is finally collapsed to 100%, the Item's soul uses this collapse to give itself a form in the larger universe so that it may feed better on the energy of the larger universe.However, in giving itself physical form it also gives itself an incredible amount of restrictions. Some simply due to the laws of the universe, such as how my universe allows for people to have agency. Some simply due to the item's weak connection to it's universe , such as how most item's only have one real power to them. Breaking any of these restrictions can force the object to fizzle out of the universe back into it's own, and slowly die of hunger.As people come to understand themselves better, they collapse the possibilities that their lives will go down. This allows the Item to create a better connection with the person and universe, and thus loosen up it's restrictions.
It's a symbiotic relationship. We get the items power, and the item gets to feed of the energy of our universe. That said, there are no personal failiers that I could realistically fix that would allow me to simply create anything I want to in this universe . But I didn't need to!Why try and solve this universe when I could simply steal her idea and create my own!While Item's aren't able to make other Items, I can create a new universe based on my own universe that can solve this problem!A universe without the agency rule! One that I could use to manipulate the universe i'm in now! One that will lead to solving all these problems! A universe that can tell a storyA universe that can tell this story.I built a universe that would inevitably lead to the creation of a story that was exactly the same as what was going on now by feeding off of the universe that contains it's events. Using it's connection to this universe, it could then manipulate this universe's events and lead to the happy ending that I know can be reached.I wasn't entirely sure it would work... but... your here now... I inserted myself into the story by attaching a small understanding of me as a concept to the new universe, and when this story began, the concept awoke and tried to force the narrative over to myself. It's finally succeeded.That said of course , I seemed to have only succeeded because it's only now that there seems to be no realistic way that you finding out now will help me any time soon.
NEWS POST Well, that was fun. I hope no one's confused! There's only a bit more twist-time, but I don't plan to draw that on paper, so i'll do it with the update that includes all the commands. |
