[Part 16][Exposition] [Wisp surveyed the vast snow covered landscape in awe] Wisp: "I didn't know something like this could ever exist!" Char: "Of it can idiot!""What?! Have you lived in a volcanic wasteland all your life?!""Oh wait... yes." Poin: "Charon!""Be nice!" Past: -sigh- "Come on! We have something to do!" End: "Agreed!" [As they started exploring, Wisp eyed up her surroundings. All of the plants she has ever seen were tiny and pathetic but some of the plants here were big.. and frozen solid.] Wisp: "Has everything here always been so dead?" Char: "Not from what I’ve heard.""My mom says it used to be a beautiful lush forest." Pro: "Oh wow… I wonder if we can restore the forest!" Poin: "Sorry to break the news to you, but that won’t be happening." Gran: "Awwhh why?" Poin: "Basically, it’s snowing because one of structures around here is broken!“Unfortunately you can’t really fix those." [The others started trailing on and on as Wisp began day dreaming. She wondered if her brother had survived the attack of the lizardcats. She already knew that both her parents, Erie and Stratus were killed but both her brother and Fleece were just captured by the sick looking creatures helping the lizardcats. Before she knew it, the rest of the group had disappeared. Wisp was all alone with the cold air.] Wisp: "…Oh..""What am I even doing here?""I’ve done nothing to help!""I just dragged Anenome and Vulcan into this stupid mission!" [Tears began slithering down Wisp’s face. She begins to remember what she could have done to stop so many things.] Wisp: "…If only I could have been there to stop those lizardcats..""If only I would have saved them.""If only I wasn’t a blasted coward..""If only I could’ve just gotten out of that lizard’s way before it took my wing all those many cycles ago!""I wish I could just..fix it..""Fix everything.." [Wisp slowly began freezing. Damn it! If only she followed the rest of the group! Now she’s going freeze out here all alone! As her tears crystallized, she felt a warm claw grip her shoulder. Wisp swiveled up to meet her eyes with Charon’s.] Char: "Come on Wisp!""It’s too cold out here!" [Charon helps Wisp up from the cold grass. He begins leading her through the tunnels with impressive ease, as if he had walked these grounds a million and one times. They eventually arrive at the shelter where Wisp is greeted with a warm and relieved welcome.] Cind: "Heeeyy!""Welcome back youngsters!" End: "Little skycat!""You had us all terrified!" [Anenome II and Vulcan both bounded towards Wisp to embrace her.] Wisp: "Oh sorry!""I promise that won’t happen again!" [Epilogue] [Storms upon Cloud Nine and Flowering Orchids in Bloom met up again in their usual chats, this time Spiraling Darts and Beryl in Reminisce were participating as well.] SuCN: "I have news regarding my group!" FOiB: "Oh huh?" SuCN:"Knowing my original local group, they will be more than happy to let you all join them.""The bad news is that they refuse to have any contact with me." SD: "Wait new local group?!""Is that where the weird Reptilian Instincts guy comes from?" SuCN: "You know him?!" SD: "Oh yeah!""Me and him talk all the time when Shards isn’t online!""He says he wants me to join his guy group but I say NO! because I need Orchid to come with me!" FOiB: "I’d like to join them!""I think some of them might be upset with me but nothing a good 'sorry' can't fix!" BiR: "Wait what..?""I haven’t gotten settled in here yet!" SuCN: "I haven’t either!""However, I am desperate for a change." SD: "Come on Remi!""It will be fun!" BiR: "I haven’t even been given time to grieve the loss of my friends!" FOiB: "Trust me, this local group is not a nice group.""Shards doesn’t care about your losses.""She just wants us to follow all of her made up rules." ECHo: "Say that again?" SuCN: "Echo?!””What are you doing here!" ECHo: "I believe that's a question I should be asking?" SD: "Hey! Get out of here!""You aren't welcome in this conversation!" ECHo: "Silence Darts!""So I hear you are conspiring against Shattered Shards?" BiR: "... No..?" FOiB: "It's not what it looks like!""Just please don't tell Shards!" ECHo: "I cannot allow anyone to openly break the rules of this group.""If I am to let you continue talking privately like this, I am inclined to accept an offer from you Cloudy." SuCN: "Like what?" ECHo: "From what I've seen over my overseer footage, it appears you have messengers.""Is that correct?" FOiB: "No! Not at all!" ECHo: "I am asking Storms, not you." SuCN: "Indeed I have two messengers, but they are completely unrelated to my participation in this group!""They are supposed to be assisting an old friend of mine!""At least they were..." ECHo: "Unfortunately, we can not allow those messengers especially if they are for contact with outside groups.""I am asking that you dispose both of them." SuCN: "No! I can't!""I need them!" ECHo: "Well too bad.."
Find the rest of Crimson Archives here! https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/51963079 I've been wanting to give Wisp a more important role but I figured what if her angst came from not being able to play an important role in the team! Wisp is an older OC of mine whose original idea was to be a Skycat born with shriveled wings, but I think she was better off having a big injury when she was a younger pup that took one of her wings. [Secret epilogue] [Luminous Skys, Surrendering discusses letting iterators from Twilight Stars, Receiving join their group] LLB: "So according to Reptilian Instincts, one of the individuals from our sister group has stated that two new iterators have joined the group." TS: "Any specifics?" RI: "Well... Spiraling Darts stated that someone she calls 'Remi' has join them..." LS: "The other one?" RI: "... Oh well the other one's Cloudy.." GS: "Of course Shattered Shards would let him join her her group!""Get the most morally dark iterators all together in one terrible counsil!" RGuB: "I don't think ALL of them are that bad." GS: "I know YOU think so but I believe everyone else unanimously agrees that their group is a party of lunatics!" LLB: "I think we should let a few of them join in!""Most certainly Flowering Orchids in Blooms and Spiraling Darts should be both be allowed to return to us.""I don't know about 'Remi' and Cloudy though.""I've considered allowing Storms to return under specific circumstances." GS: "Well I think you should consider NEVER letting him come back!" RGuB: "If he were do something to prove that can be trusted, then I would be more than happy to let him return!""Never again as an admin however.." LLB: "Agreed!" LS: "But Sanded Oasis sacrificed herself to remove him from his this group!" MoN: "Yeah! What Shady said!" TS: "I also agree.""I'd hate for Sandy's efforts to be in vain!" LLB: "I see all of your points, but I believe letting him come back as a mere participant is our best option!""Not an admin, just a participant." RGuB: "Again, IF he can prove himself as someone with changed heart." RI: "I think that works!"
