Hii!

So basically this is a badly written Intection AU for the Forsaken universe because we are allergic to happiness and I'm here to prove that statement right.

Anyway if you read the tags (if you did, good job!) there will be one of my OCs, who in short changes between the personalities of her deceased sister either as a coping mechanism or something similar to DID. Her lore IS mapped out but there will only be snippets, not to bore you all. If there are any of you guys here.

Anyway this will OOC because headcanons (yippie) and yours truly is unmotivated and currently in Indonesia. This is heavily inspired by multiple other infection AUs, more specifically the NightBloom AU by (I forget soz) but this is different. because originality

So. Uh. Wait for the first chapter I guess. YAY

{@NightshadeAdorned} - Hey, did any of you guys see Noli come back from that walk he was rambling about?

{@SingleFather} - You let that idiot out on his own?

{@WillEatLimes} - He's surprisingly competent for a guy with a meme soundboard.

{@WillEatLimes} replying to 'Hey, did any of you guys see…' - To answer your question, no. I didn't see him return last night.

{@Glitter&Gore} - Me neither! And I don't sleep!!

{@WillEatLimes} - Well, you need to.

{@Glitter&Gore} - Fineee… >:(

{@BlueMenace} - Get a room u two

[@BlueMenace was muted for 6hrs]

{@TheLastGuest} - …moving on from that, I didn't see him either, of course the others didn't as well. They were asleep. TwoTime wasn't in their room though…

{@Jitterwings} - I was visiting my dear Azure's garden!! Did you know your red flowers had bloomed, dearest?

{@NightshadeAdorned} - I am not your 'dearest' you son of a bi- wait red flowers…?

{@Jitterwings} - Yup! I didn't catch anything else before I went back inside. Too quiet!

{@J4ckp0t} - Fym 'too quiet'-

[@NightshadeAdorned has gone offline]

{@Jitterwings} - …did I say something wrong…? :C

Azure stood at the edge of his garden, staring at the red spider lilies he had planted last month. He thought they looked okay at the time, a patch of red in the sea of purples and blues, but they were meant to bloom from the middle of September to the beginning of October, not smack in the middle of March. That wasn't right.

"…the hell?" he muttered, walking up to the flowers and inspecting them to see if the bloom was just a bud pulled out to look like a natural bloom, most likely by C00lkidd or one of the others, but it looked natural. Looked right while it felt wrong. Wrongwrongwrongwrongwrongwrong. The purple killer looked up to see a trail of the spider lilies, strewn across the floor like they'd been stepped on while they grew out of the ground. 

'Wait, I never planted any over there… did I?' Azure thought on that before brushing it off as a mistake. Maybe he'd gone to check on something and they'd fallen out of his pocket. It's fine.

Azure walked back inside, doubting the conclusion he'd made on the lilies. He didn't note that the path the red flowers took was the same as Noli's. Must've been a coincidence.

{@Amnesiac} - So, mister expert-botanist, whats wrong with your precious flower?

{@NightshadeAdorned} - Nothing. It's fine.

{@KiKiMaMa} - So we just… deem Noli as missing?

{@PinkMenace} - But he's killer next round what do we do?

{@Imissmybuddy} - Well, he'll show up then. It'll be fine! \^O^/

{@ElsaButGay} - And so we hope.

{@ElsaButGay} - Like idiots

{@IShallSuckYourBlood} - Wow. Rude.

This round's killer is…

Noli

Nobody could find Noli.

"H-hey, are you sure its a good idea to… to look for the killer??"Noob clung to Elliot like a goddamn Koala as the two walked through the map recently identified as 'Yorick's Resting Place' after being ordered to scout for Noli, the current round's killer. It was aready 2 minutes into the round yet the decaying killer was still yet to be seen. Only damage taken by any of the survivors was TwoTime, but that was just them tripping down one of the slopes.

Veeronica had skated majority of the map and saw nothing before crashing into a wall and giving up, so the rest of the survivor team split up to find the killer. Yes, it was a stupid decision bound to get them killed, but Noli usually makes grand entrances, thats what makes him relatively avoidable.

"E-Elliot??" Noob realised she was getting left behind and RACED after Elliot, desperate to keep up with the underpaid pizza-delivery boy. Before smashing into a wall. "Wh- oww…" Noob whined, rubbing her head. She looked up and froze on sight of what she saw. She'd found Noli, alright. At least, she asumed that was Noli, colapsed and unmoving on the floor.

Large, thinly curved spikes of what she assumed to be foliage or something plant like had sprouted from the upper body, tearing at flesh and causing what little blood the half corpse, possibly full corpse now, had left, with most of the purplish red liquid dried and crusty. The torn flesh gave a good view exposing the fucking roots burrowing into what was left of Noli's organs, and whatever she thought was supposed to be the remains of his 'stomach', was worms. Dead on, live, wriggling worms. Like someone had opened him up and shoved him through a garden. Noob was pretty sure she saw a few whole ass fucking maggots amongst the pink noodle-like worms, and something burrowing under the skin…

She couldn't bear to look at it anymore. She covered her mouth with a hand and fled the scene, gagging at the sight and eventually having to skid to a stop to throw up right over the fence. Worms. Like, she knew Noli was a half rotting corpse and all, but worms was too far. And those things under the skin… no. She shook her head, hands gripping the fence like a vice. Don't recall that. Nuh uh. Still shaking, she reluctantly let go and turned on her heel to run back to the survivors.

And was met with a barely standing Noli.

Veeronica looked toward the sound. A scream? And a genuine one too? Must've found something. She figured, face flicking back from the soft background noise TwoTime had requested to play.

"Heyyy…" the cultist pouted, tail wrapped around their leg as they sat with their back against the wall. "S0rry bud, but I h4ve t0. I'm g0nn4 g0 ch3ck 0n Noob, I h34rd h3r scr34m." "Oh okei" TwoTime waved off Veeronica as she skated down the slope and away from them.

Their phone got a notification from a new groupchat that Chance had, for some reason, made. TwoTime, still unfamiliar with technology, didn't have a password, so they just opened the notification banner.

The Rainbow Peoplez

{@J4ckp0t} - Yo

{@SleePDeprivAtion} - Man what are you doing we're supposed to be looking for Noli

{@J4ckp0t} - Ah, ah, remember Ellie, not a man. I named this groupchat what it is for a reason

{@SleePDeprivAtion} - My name is NOT Ellie, its Elliot.

{@SleePDeprivAtion} - wait if im here…

{@SleePDeprivAtion} - CHANCE???

{@Jitterwings} - ONE OF US

{@Jitterwings} - ONE OF US

{@SleePDeprivAtion} - NO NOT EXACTLY NOW CHANCE EXPLAIN YOURSELF

{@SleePDeprivAtion} - HOW DID YOU KNOW

{@J4ckpot} - Remember that time you finally wore a white shirt for once but then you fell into the river in the lobby

{@SleePDeprivAtion} - …granted, that was stupid of me yet still your fault for pushing me in, but continue.

TwoTime giggled a bit at the two's banter. Then again, who would've know Elliot was trans? "You learn something new everyday, huh?" They muttered, still grinning at the screen as Elliot and Chance kept their conversation going. They also noticed, along with themself and the other two, Noob, 1x and Bluudud were in the chat, so that was interesting. Though how Chance knew all of this was unknown to them.

They were so caught up in whatever the other two were doing that they didn't notice Veeronica run back up the ramp with Noob, shaking and holding her arm, dragging behind her until Veeronica grabbed their hand and yanked them with her, down the slope on the other side. "AH- what the hell?!" TwoTime took a second to regain their footing to properly run instead of having their ankles kicked and dragged against the grass. Veronica didn't react to their initial shock, just kept running like their lives depended on it, which, looking back, maybe it did.

Noli followed after them, spider lily petals, or whatever Azure used to call the leg like things ontop of the flower, literally penetrating skin and protruding out of his empty eye sockets. And looking down, TwoTime was sure they could see wo… their head snapped back to the front. No way they're gonna torture their eyes by seeing what they just caught a glimpse of. Now, TwoTime had seen bodies before, more specifically Azure's, but that was not what the cultist wanted to see today, or ever. Let alone watch it move.

The three of them ducked behind a wall and watched as Noli(?) flew past in all its rotting glory, before Veeronica let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. Noob slid down the wall, her little bun slipping out entirely and lettting her hair cascade down her shoulders and back in a golden waterfall as she buried her face into her hands, mumbling incoherent words. "…what in the name of our beloved Spawn was that." TwoTime breathed, hand on their dagger like the thing would pop up at any moment.

Which, with their luck, it did. Footsteps approached their location. Heavy, fast, and definetly not one of the other survivors.

What was left of Noli rounded the corner, claws out as it swiped. Just before it hit Noob's arm, right as TwoTime lunged with their dagger while Veeronica swung her skateboard like a bat…

Timer

0:00

Everyone's vision went black. The survivors reappeared in the lobby, with 007n7, 118o8 and 226w6 looking up from the spectator TV with various degrees of shock (they sat that round out). Chance stumbled into a wal, Elliot following. Dusekkar and Taph looked up from their game of patty-cake. Builderman dropped his hammer ontop of Shedletsky's fallen chicken leg. Everything looked normal. It felt normal.

They were safe.

Until Noob rolled up her sleeve to show claw marks on her forearm and a dark, unnatural shade of red extending from the wound and following the line of her blood vessels.

"…shit."

Chapter Text

Awkward silence enveloped the room like a blanket.

"…so…" Chance started, fingers drumming on the table. "we just… had a surgery room and nobody knew…?" Elliot stuck his head out the door to ths supposed 'surgery room' suddenly, Noob's muffled cries causing TwoTime to practically dig their hands into the side of their head to block out the noise while the rest of the cast flinched. "It's a room for meat, not surgeries." The pizza-boy hissed. "We have to make do."

Guest1337 nodded at that. "Yes, though it's really unfortunate Spectre hasn't given us anesthesia for the poor girl downstairs…"

"…Is TwoTime seriously praying to 'Spawn' in the corner." Chance deadpanned, staring at the broken lil cultist in the corner of the room before Gremlin, who'd been spying from a window, piped up from whereshe'd been trying to keep glitter glue off the glass. "Jokez on u the Spawn is realz"

(She speaks with this… accent of sorts. Hard to place)

TwoTime shot up from their disturbing praying (of offering to their spawn with their blood but nobody needed to know that) and dashed tp the window only to see Gremlin skittering off into the woods like a lil ladybug.
