tiefling ranger loid who's a solo travelling vagabond on some journey of self discovery after mourning his parent's passing. typical loner traveller stuff until eventually they run into the rest of the cast and adventure shenanigans ensue

Rushing headfirst into danger with nothing but the sword on his hip, the armor on his back, and the celestial guidance of his God-- It's Elio reporting for duty!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELIOOOO, our metaphorically speaking knight in shining armor! No matter what, he just can't turn a blind eye to a person in need, can't he? 🥹

Like before, drabble is posted here! With the password in the tags.

this post is so horrifically overdue that's my bad but here we are-

i've had this idea marinating in my head for a little while of a "life is strange/final destination inspired horror edition" of keyframes that i wanna ramble about

i don't wanna say it's a completely thought out au but the basic idea is this:

somehow the main cast have found themselves wrapped up in a mystery that's resulting in each of them getting picked off one by one from a deadly threat, think a typical bloody slasher movie plot. the catch is that the MC have inexplicably found themselves stuck in a time loop that keeps resetting them back to the beginning of the horrors whenever they get killed

MC doesn't fully keep their memories from each loop, only retaining foggy bits and pieces. BUT every single picture they take on their camera from every loop is saved, giving them glimpses of what's been going on to them and their friends

so the idea is that using their fractured memories and whatever evidence they have on their camera, MC desperately has to try to string together the mystery and keep their friends from dying (no matter how hard fate keeps fighting against them) through each loop. and even if they managed to solve the mystery they will not consider it a victory unless no one dies. they have to save everyone.

repeat the loop. solve the mystery. save their friends. .....and pray they don't lose their mind in the process.

aaaand that's basically it! i thought of this under the pretense of it still being a video game hence the time loop thing. honestly i think this would also work if it was changed to a final destination type "premonition" and sorta have it work like until dawn or the quarry where the deaths are permanent you just have to hope you make the right choices to prevent it. whatever sounds more angsty for the MC

cw: blood, animal death, gore
