Bill Cipher

hiya, pal! (-(

i’ve died around seven times at this point. don’t recommend. always terrified it’s gonna be the last time and i won’t ever come back and that just gets worse the more times it happens.

AW WELL AS LONG AS YOU’VE AN INSURANCE POLICY SET UP YOU SHOULD BE FINE. YOU THINK CALLING UPON THE AXOLOTL TO ESCAPE DEATH WAS A LAST MINUTE THOUGHT? NO! I HAD THAT SET UP, PRACTICED, AND READY TO GO AGES BEFORE I DIED. JUST MAKE SURE YOUR BACKUP PLAN WORKS AND YOU’RE BASICALLY UNKILLABLE!

called upon frills once and he locked me up in theraprism. also meant that the thing owned my soul so that every time i died after that i’d end up in another theraprism. but then sibling killed that frills so now i have to spend weeks reforming myself from nothing but vague impressions when i die

OKAY WELL WE DIDN’T KNOW THAT PART WAS GONNA HAPPEN, I’M NOT THRILLED TO BE LOCKED IN A THERAPRISM EITHER BUT AT LEAST I’M NOT PERMANENTLY DEAD. THATS COOL HOW YOU CAN REFORM YOURSELF THOUGH, YOU SHOULD TEACH ME SOMETIME. POINT IS, I DON’T THINK YOU’VE GOT ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT AS LONG AS YOU’VE GOT YOUR BACKUP PLAN SECURED.

i exist as an idea. i cannot die forever unless everyone i’ve met forgets i existed. it took a lot of energy to reform and i lost all my memories.

HM INTERESTING. WHAT HAVE YA GOT TO WORRY ABOUT THEN? ITS NOT LIKE WE’RE ALL GONNA BECOME AMNESIACS.

there’s plenty of people out there who want me to stay dead who could figure out how it works and have access to memory guns

THEY’D HAVE TO HUNT DOWN AT LEAST HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE AND SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE LOCKED BEHIND SECURITY. THEY COULD TRY BUT ITS DOUBTFUL THEY’D SUCCEED.

… yeah fair point … i doubt it would be possible to erase all memories of me …

YEAH. YOU’RE FINE, DON’T SWEAT IT SO MUCH. YKNOW OL FRILLS HAS ME DOING THESE THINGS CALLED AFFIRMATIONS WHERE YOU REPEAT SOME MESSAGES TO YOURSELF TO MAKE YOUR BRAIN START THINKING THEM AUTOMATICALLY— SELF-BRAINWASHING IS WHAT I CALL IT. YOU COULD USE SOME.

Yeah i think I’d rather avoid brainwashing of any kind

YEAH I DIDN’T LIKE THE ONES FRILLS GAVE ME BUT SOME OF THE ONES I’VE COME UP WITH ARE FUN. FRILLS HATES EM THOUGH, CAN’T IMAGINE WHY.

y’know. i think i will make up some of my own. that sounds fun.

IT IS FUN. THE MORE HORRIFIC THEY ARE THE BETTER.

hmmmm. only thing like that i can think of right now is “i am an eldritch horror cthulu itself bows down to”. might need to practice makin these up a bit more

OOH THATS A GOOD ONE! WHAT ABOUT ‘I AM DESTINED TO BE IN CONTROL OF ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING’?

OOOOOO I LOVE THAT ONEE!!! HOW BOUT “I AM AN ALL POWERFUL GOD, MORTAL, COWER BEFORE ME OR I WILL BURN YOUR FACE OFF”?

THAT’S SPECTACULAR. I BET FRILLS GETS A PHANTOM PAIN EVERY TIME WE DO THIS HAHAHAHAHAHA.

I SINCERELY HOPE IT DOES!! GONNA HAVE TO COME UP WITH SOMETHIN BETTER THAN THAT LAST ONE. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH!!!

I KNOW WE COULD COME UP WITH A BUNCH IF WE JUST SAT HERE AWHILE BUT THATS GOTTA BE ENOUGH FOR NOW. THE WHOLE TRICK IS YOU GOTTA SAY IT TO YOURSELF THROUGHOUT THE DAY EVERY DAY. IF NOTHIN’ ELSE IT’LL MAKE YOU SMILE.

ohhhhhhhhh. yeah we have enough for now, then. and they will DEFINITELY make me smile (-|

y’know. i suppose i could run off and talk on the phone at the same time. i don’t have to wait

OOOO I JUST FOUND THE PERFECT TREE FOR THIS!!! It’s a great big thick one almost completely surrounded by birch trees. gonna plan out the interior before i start diggin though! (-(

Bill stood in the center of his drab room, one whose walls were devoid of color besides the handful of artwork and motivational posters it’d been decorated with against his will. This would be the last time he’d see these stupid walls. He read the coordinates and sighed. It’s now or never, he only had moments to spare before the Axolotl and all its therapist goons would be breathing down his angles and try to tie him down like a savage beast.

He faceplanted right into dirt and skidded a few paces as the portal closed behind him. He sat up, his whole body buzzed as he wiped himself down and swallowed the gun again quickly. He needed to think and fast. He opened up his phone and skimmed the text.

*he has left the house and started wandering towards where he thinks Prism might be*

*he pauses for a few seconds to try to figure out where that could be before he zooms off again, it doesn’t take very long for him to get to where Prism is after that. he looks a little different than last time they met, no scar for one thing*

He flinched as he saw movement in the distance, but quickly relaxed. It was just Nester. He wolf whistled and cackled.

He stared down at his leg then stretched it out and bent it back so he could chew just above the ankle. He rolled his eye back and unsheathed several incisors. He hesitated, briefly, holding his leg just outside his mouth where a bit of drool began to pool up— then went for it. Teeth sink down into black velvet and through to muscle and fat underneath. Luckily the mouthful muffled a girlish scream.

*the clone body Nester had been put in grew very quickly, so at some point during this conversation he had gone from a normal looking triangle to something that was at least thirteen feet tall with a triangular head with a crack down the middle of it that looks just like his old scar and surrounded by four pairs of dark green wings, his body has dark grey skin stretched tight over fragile looking bones and soft black feathers growing on his limbs and chest. he paces back and forth in front of Prism, trying to figure out what to do, before he starts clawing at the power suppressor to try and break it*

Bill’s eye widened further, nearly popping out of his bricks at the humanoid creature that towered over him. Bill’s triangle body was about two and a half feet across and even though he could stretch his limbs pretty far without his abilities he still wasn’t sure if he could quite reach eye level with Nester. Talk about perks from his new body. His shadow completely consumed Bill and blocked out a good chunk of the rosy colored sky.

*he stares at Prism*

“OH YEAH SURE. ALL I’M HEARING IS A BUNCH OF EXCUSES.”

WELL IF YOU WANNA RISK ME ACCIDENTALLY TURNIN YA INSIDE OUT CAUSE I CAN’T CONTROL MY POWERS RIGHT NOW, I AM JUST FINE WITH TRYIN IT AGAIN

“WHAT?! YOU- YOU’RE CRAZY. AS MUCH AS I WOULD LOVE TO THRIVE IN THE CHAOS OF THAT ABSOLUTELY NOT! WE ARE NOT REARRANGING MY BRICKS.

GOOD PLAN. NOT GONNA TRY USIN MY POWERS FOR NOW.

“YEAH? ALRIGHT, I’M TRUSTING YOU.”

ALWAYS TRUST ME! (-(

“I DON’T GOT A CHOICE RIGHT NOW.”

“OH YEAH SURE. ALL I’M HEARING IS A BUNCH OF EXCUSES.”

My muse!! [static] You'll never believe what I found!! A bramea moth!! Discovered it in the bottomless pit! I knew it must be connected to some other place!!

Yes, I'm aware. I've lost countless objects to it.. If it puts your mind at ease I didn't jump into it! I fell into it while writing in my journal

[He sighed.] YKNOW SIX— FOR A GENIUS— AND ALL THAT— YOU SURE— ARE DUMB SOMETIMES.

My focus is just consumed by other things at times! I wanted to be sure my drawing was accurate before it left my mind. I should put a sign by the bottomless pit to avoid future mistakes..

SOUNDS LIKE A SKILL ISSUE— DON’T WALK WHEN YOU’RE DRAWING— OR DO I DON’T CARE—

Bill’s eye widened further, nearly popping out of his bricks at the humanoid creature that towered over him. Bill’s triangle body was about two and a half feet across and even though he could stretch his limbs pretty far without his abilities he still wasn’t sure if he could quite reach eye level with Nester. Talk about perks from his new body. His shadow completely consumed Bill and blocked out a good chunk of the rosy colored sky.

hiya, pal! (-(

i’ve died around seven times at this point. don’t recommend. always terrified it’s gonna be the last time and i won’t ever come back and that just gets worse the more times it happens.

AW WELL AS LONG AS YOU’VE AN INSURANCE POLICY SET UP YOU SHOULD BE FINE. YOU THINK CALLING UPON THE AXOLOTL TO ESCAPE DEATH WAS A LAST MINUTE THOUGHT? NO! I HAD THAT SET UP, PRACTICED, AND READY TO GO AGES BEFORE I DIED. JUST MAKE SURE YOUR BACKUP PLAN WORKS AND YOU’RE BASICALLY UNKILLABLE!

called upon frills once and he locked me up in theraprism. also meant that the thing owned my soul so that every time i died after that i’d end up in another theraprism. but then sibling killed that frills so now i have to spend weeks reforming myself from nothing but vague impressions when i die

OKAY WELL WE DIDN’T KNOW THAT PART WAS GONNA HAPPEN, I’M NOT THRILLED TO BE LOCKED IN A THERAPRISM EITHER BUT AT LEAST I’M NOT PERMANENTLY DEAD. THATS COOL HOW YOU CAN REFORM YOURSELF THOUGH, YOU SHOULD TEACH ME SOMETIME. POINT IS, I DON’T THINK YOU’VE GOT ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT AS LONG AS YOU’VE GOT YOUR BACKUP PLAN SECURED.

i exist as an idea. i cannot die forever unless everyone i’ve met forgets i existed. it took a lot of energy to reform and i lost all my memories.

HM INTERESTING. WHAT HAVE YA GOT TO WORRY ABOUT THEN? ITS NOT LIKE WE’RE ALL GONNA BECOME AMNESIACS.

there’s plenty of people out there who want me to stay dead who could figure out how it works and have access to memory guns

THEY’D HAVE TO HUNT DOWN AT LEAST HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE AND SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE LOCKED BEHIND SECURITY. THEY COULD TRY BUT ITS DOUBTFUL THEY’D SUCCEED.

… yeah fair point … i doubt it would be possible to erase all memories of me …

YEAH. YOU’RE FINE, DON’T SWEAT IT SO MUCH. YKNOW OL FRILLS HAS ME DOING THESE THINGS CALLED AFFIRMATIONS WHERE YOU REPEAT SOME MESSAGES TO YOURSELF TO MAKE YOUR BRAIN START THINKING THEM AUTOMATICALLY— SELF-BRAINWASHING IS WHAT I CALL IT. YOU COULD USE SOME.

Yeah i think I’d rather avoid brainwashing of any kind

YEAH I DIDN’T LIKE THE ONES FRILLS GAVE ME BUT SOME OF THE ONES I’VE COME UP WITH ARE FUN. FRILLS HATES EM THOUGH, CAN’T IMAGINE WHY.

y’know. i think i will make up some of my own. that sounds fun.

IT IS FUN. THE MORE HORRIFIC THEY ARE THE BETTER.

hmmmm. only thing like that i can think of right now is “i am an eldritch horror cthulu itself bows down to”. might need to practice makin these up a bit more

OOH THATS A GOOD ONE! WHAT ABOUT ‘I AM DESTINED TO BE IN CONTROL OF ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING’?

OOOOOO I LOVE THAT ONEE!!! HOW BOUT “I AM AN ALL POWERFUL GOD, MORTAL, COWER BEFORE ME OR I WILL BURN YOUR FACE OFF”?

THAT’S SPECTACULAR. I BET FRILLS GETS A PHANTOM PAIN EVERY TIME WE DO THIS HAHAHAHAHAHA.

I SINCERELY HOPE IT DOES!! GONNA HAVE TO COME UP WITH SOMETHIN BETTER THAN THAT LAST ONE. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH!!!

I KNOW WE COULD COME UP WITH A BUNCH IF WE JUST SAT HERE AWHILE BUT THATS GOTTA BE ENOUGH FOR NOW. THE WHOLE TRICK IS YOU GOTTA SAY IT TO YOURSELF THROUGHOUT THE DAY EVERY DAY. IF NOTHIN’ ELSE IT’LL MAKE YOU SMILE.

ohhhhhhhhh. yeah we have enough for now, then. and they will DEFINITELY make me smile (-|

y’know. i suppose i could run off and talk on the phone at the same time. i don’t have to wait

OOOO I JUST FOUND THE PERFECT TREE FOR THIS!!! It’s a great big thick one almost completely surrounded by birch trees. gonna plan out the interior before i start diggin though! (-(

Bill stood in the center of his drab room, one whose walls were devoid of color besides the handful of artwork and motivational posters it’d been decorated with against his will. This would be the last time he’d see these stupid walls. He read the coordinates and sighed. It’s now or never, he only had moments to spare before the Axolotl and all its therapist goons would be breathing down his angles and try to tie him down like a savage beast.

He faceplanted right into dirt and skidded a few paces as the portal closed behind him. He sat up, his whole body buzzed as he wiped himself down and swallowed the gun again quickly. He needed to think and fast. He opened up his phone and skimmed the text.

*he has left the house and started wandering towards where he thinks Prism might be*

*he pauses for a few seconds to try to figure out where that could be before he zooms off again, it doesn’t take very long for him to get to where Prism is after that. he looks a little different than last time they met, no scar for one thing*

He flinched as he saw movement in the distance, but quickly relaxed. It was just Nester. He wolf whistled and cackled.

He stared down at his leg then stretched it out and bent it back so he could chew just above the ankle. He rolled his eye back and unsheathed several incisors. He hesitated, briefly, holding his leg just outside his mouth where a bit of drool began to pool up— then went for it. Teeth sink down into black velvet and through to muscle and fat underneath. Luckily the mouthful muffled a girlish scream.

My muse!! [static] You'll never believe what I found!! A bramea moth!! Discovered it in the bottomless pit! I knew it must be connected to some other place!!

Yes, I'm aware. I've lost countless objects to it.. If it puts your mind at ease I didn't jump into it! I fell into it while writing in my journal

[He sighed.] YKNOW SIX— FOR A GENIUS— AND ALL THAT— YOU SURE— ARE DUMB SOMETIMES.
