arc 1 - FREAK SHOW - io hated his life. oh, to change it was everything. it was so normal. it was so lonely. he was by himself. it was only him and his parents living in varimal city. his parents worked a lot . they said they loved him. one day, io went to a field trip to the oldest library in the area . it was amazing . however , he found a jar . that jar had a firefly in it . it turned out to be light itself. metaphorically, i mean. that firefly was like a genie of some sort. io had a wish. escape his life. nothing happened. it was a foolish thing, of course. but as he closed his eyes, he stirred in his sleep. the house was warm when he awoke. apparently, he had a sibling named pidge. she didn't exist. or at least , she didn't before. io had a best friend, apparently. his name was fielding. he didn't exist. or at least, he didn't before. io apparently lived in a town named evemorii. they lived happily. no. no they did not. as they were running around, they reached an alleyway. two people were looming over them -- one with a jester's mask and one shaped like a blob. "who's the sacrifice?" "io howling. unless someone volunteers. it's the law, apparently." "we'd have a good soul collector in check, then." oh, they got scared. pidge was ignorant. it was just a prank, she murmured, hoping it was real. she said it so much that she believed it. fielding and io? not so much. fielding called io, "not good company" and left the two. oh, but the firefly ceremony was coming up! someone to protect the woods! the magical creatures. no one ventured into the woods. did unicorns really exist, as the rumors said (hint: they did not). io was chosen to be the firefly! how delightful. unless someone volunteered. but not just anyone -- someone had to give off the aura to volunteer. it turned to be poison. metaphorically, i mean. pidge was jealous. pidge was lonely. she volunteered. and she was chosen. pidge got stabbed in the woods. by a shapeshifter's horn. she d!3d. she became a soul collector. sooo, apparently: the woods had dangerous creatures and the fireflies were sacrifices !! fun right ? "aw, we didn't get the right one?" "no, sadly." [ there's two finished ones, so get ready ] [ + this is only a summary !! i'm making a webcomic probably ] [ + if you guys could make ocs for me to use id be glad to use em ]
