Zion falls back asleep or whatever after being a drama queen and not just getting over her phantom pains
She dreams
You feel yourself floating
Your consciousness or whatever you want to call it while you sleep twisting in the air, slowly.
It is.. almost peaceful?
Zion notes that she can move.
zion
I stretch, and open my eyes.
rascalywabit
You are in a bed.
zion
My own bed at home, or the shitty thing I sleep in in the cabin?
rascalywabit
Neither
You are in a bed that you do not recognize.
zion
"Hm."
"I could've sworn I was floating."
rascalywabit
Looking around, you see a...
Picture frame?
You are inside a picture frame.
→ WC has joined
WC
oh hello
zion
(shhhh)
WC
(Oh! Sorry)
zion
"I've always wondered what a picture frame looks like from the inside."
rascalywabit
Well now you know
zion
What does it look like?
rascalywabit
On a subconscious level, you can probably tell this isn't real. It's basically- The easiest way I can explain it at least - An unfathomable object
You are inside of it on a three dimensional level, however looking off to the side you can see yourself on a two dimensional level as well
zion
"......................."
"yeah let's not look that way again."
rascalywabit
For one of your dreams
This seems rather tame.
zion
"Yup."
You have no idea whom you said that to.
zion
"well, this is boring"
"no misery"
"no blood"
"no puppets"
"maybe"
"maybe I'm just having a normal dream?"
rascalywabit
No.
Paradox Space will apparently refuse to allow you to have a normal dream
And you note some sort of interface off by the 2d version of yourself
zion
"...."
"oi"
"other me"
rascalywabit
You both say to eachother
zion
"do you know what the fuck is happening?"
"..."
"I guess fucking not"
zion
"so"
"2d me"
"can you do anything with that interface"
"or are you just as worthless as me"
rascalywabit
Other Zion repeats your words at the same exact time as you but also provides a middle finger
zion
"wow I'm really productive today"
rascalywabit
She is about a...
Foot? Centimeter? Mile?
She is a distance from the interface
zion
"do you think you can get up to the interface?"
"or are you too much of a fuckface?"
rascalywabit
She says
zion
"yes, I will walk up to the interface and use it"
"thank you for your cooperation"
rascalywabit
Do you physically move yourself or do you just stand there like a retard?
zion
I start walking forwards, if that is a direction that makes sense.
rascalywabit
2D Zion goes...
Somewhere..
What the fuck even are you witnessing here?
zion
"I swear this geometry"
rascalywabit
Anyway, she knows what you want, so somehow you keep walking forward and The Other One ends up where she is supposed to be.
At the interface.
zion
"this is what happens when you read lovecraft before going to bed
"
I sneak a peak at the interface.
rascalywabit
U wot?
What interface, there was clearly nothing there the entire time.
zion
"........."
"I think we can both agree on that this is dumb as shit"
rascalywabit
"Agreed."
zion
"......"
"did you just say something that I didn't?"
"or am I going even more crazy"
rascalywabit
"No."
"Zion, are you okay?"
zion
"I feel fucking fantastic"
"why wouldn't I"
rascalywabit
You probably don't feel fantastic because it is not actually your two dimensional version that has been saying things.
She looks just as confused as you
zion
"wait"
"if you're not the one talking"
"then who the fuck is"
rascalywabit
You suddenly find yourself at a familiar Table.
It has food and any manner of silverware on it.
zion
"..."
rascalywabit
Your father and mother were conversing before Zelphina noted that you were acting a little weird.
zion
"...I'm alright"
"don't worry"
rascalywabit
Your double is not very happy about this development. Zelphina nods softly at you with a smile before turning back to her talks with Zacharias
zion
What are they talking about?"
rascalywabit
As hard as you may try, no words they speak are able to be heard.
You understood what she was saying when she talked directly to you however.
zion
I look down at my plate in silence.
rascalywabit
This is kind of..
Exactly how it always was.
You were always ignored weren't you?

zion
"no..."
zion
"they loved me"
rascalywabit
You say when Zelphina abandoned you and Zacharias attempted to kill you.
The 2D Zion is alone at a four dimensional table.
zion
"........"
"dad"
"why did you try to kill me"
rascalywabit
He asks you what you are talking about, and Zelphina gently reprimands you for speaking of such things at the dinner table.
zion
"no no no"
"I remember it"
"you beat me up with"
"......."
"zelph's corpse"
"and then you shot me"
← rwb has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
zion
"why"
rascalywabit
Zelphina is getting visibly upset by this, but she was always the more loved person in the family. Zacharias however has never been one to reign his temper in, and shouts at you to cease scaring your mother
zion
I leave the table.
I try to go and sit down with 2d zion.
rascalywabit
You fail, the Two Dimensional Zion continuing to be where she is as your parents sit at the table for a few moments longer
==============================================
Missing Data:
Two Dimensional Zion flipped her fucking shit and trapped Regular Zion in Four Dimension Picture Frame space and was revealed to be mortally wounded
zion
Then Zion started mumbling "no," and turned away from the injured zion.
==============================================
Two Dimensional Zion flipped her fucking shit and trapped Regular Zion in Four Dimension Picture Frame space and was revealed to be mortally wounded
zion
Then Zion started mumbling "no," and turned away from the injured zion.
Was there anything I could distract myself with?
To turn my attention away from the mutilated body
rascalywabit
Well..
You could distract yourself with the very existence of this plain
Wherever you are, as established, shouldn't exist.
Dream rules, this is broken.
Fake Zion meanders over to your parents.
zion
I am simply paralyzed by the lack of dream logic.
rascalywabit
You continue to do so
As Fake Zion continues to do her own thing
She reaches the table, and sits down at it.
zion
Anything else?
rascalywabit
Well, your parents dissapear.
The other Zion sits, staring forlornly at the otherside of the table.
zion
"they left you too, it would seem."
rascalywabit
"we are always alone."
Her voice is strained.
zion
"you may be"
"but I'm not"
rascalywabit
"really.. we are not so different.. you and i."
"even with eachother, we are alone."
zion
"you are a monster"
"I am nothing like you"
rascalywabit
she moves her arm off to the side, the broken bones shifting with a squelch.
She cringes, blood pouring out of her wounds.
zion
"stop that"
rascalywabit
"i am what created you. i am your rage and anger. i am everything you ever will be and everything you will ever become. i am wounded, but you are not. what right do you have to live a life free of your own mistakes?"
zion
"I AM MORE THAN RAGE"
* zion goes silent, realizing the irony
← rascalywabit has quit (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)
→ rascalywabit has joined
rascalywabit
Fake Zion's body is wracked by a sob, causing more painful disgusting squelches
zion
"also stop that"
"stop that
"stop that stop that stop that"
rascalywabit
"..."
Fake Zion, or so you assume, gets up.
rascalywabit
She throws herself on the table
zion
Which one of them?
rascalywabit
Her left arm wrenches and fortunately is not visible from this viewpoint
The one where your parents were
"...you caused this." she says as she grabs a knife.
zion
"I Didn't."
"You Caused This."
"You Are The Monster."
"Its You."
rascalywabit
"... you went and fought the giclops." she says as she stabs herself in the leg, zigzagging back and forth. Blood drains everywhere.
zion
"I Was Told It Would Be Fine."
rascalywabit
"...im not going to drift away and become unimportant." she says as you slowly watch her painstaking replace her own limps with those of puppets.
Each cut, each limp, you can physically feel.
zion
"STOP THAT"
"I TOLD YOU TO STOP"
rascalywabit
Sobbing as she finishes the first leg, she starts with the second.
Her left leg has been replaced with some sort of doll like matieral
zion
I try to brute force myself towards her, away from the 4D table.
You somehow end up under the table, still having perfect sight of the entire process, she continues.
This reminds you of pacman
Kinda.
Its like pacman but instead of being chased by ghosts it's the walls that are alive and chasing you
and there are no berries and the whole time you can see yourself mutilating her limbs
So all in all, pretty similar
zion
I try to reach out towards her.
rascalywabit
Your two dimensional hand reaches nothing in particular.
Blood starts draining into your space, there is so much of it
Blood and pain and anger.
zion
I try to shield my eyes from the self mutilation.
rascalywabit
You can do so, but the sounds still remain.
Oh the sounds.
zion
I cover my ears.
rascalywabit
. . .
zion
I scream, to cover the sounds.
rascalywabit
You can hardly hear your own scream
You cannot see anything either
Eventually, there is not even the distant gnash of bones
Zion wakes up in a mass of sweat and flailing limbs
zion
"..........."
zion
I sit up, looking at the room I'm in.
rascalywabit
You see Andy. Her red eyes piercing your general direction. She waves.
