much appreciation to @cryingyetcourageous for opening my eyes to the idea of dragonsonas having alternative colorations
corporeal ver & internet demon ver!
my brother is supposed to be packing for a trip tomorrow. i went into his room and he has the wikipedia page for suitcase open
ayo so listen i took the motif quiz for viktor and look at this FUCKIGN RESULT
the lightning rod
whether it’s your turbulent nature, your flash quick mind, or the air of unknown about you, your undercurrent is the lightning rod. you are somewhat unpredictable, but if we unravelled we’d see you know exactly what you’re doing, but it’s makes you feel less vulnerable to pretend it wasn’t planned. some people stay back from you, but others would follow you cross country, for the very same reason. they don’t know enough about you. the difference is in who wants to learn more. keep your golden nature, it’s exciting, but don’t be afraid to admit what you know. matshona dhliwayo said “lightning strikes but does not roar” your bite will always be worse than your bark, keep that close to your chest.
LIKE WHY IS THIS QUIZ THIS GOOD ?
Peter stares out the window of the cab. He would be watching the landscape if only it would move, if only traffic didn't trap him and keep the anxiety building in anticipation of what's to come. He keeps checking his phone, and by the time Viktor responds, he's almost at the house.
[TO: BruvBot9000]: I guess so
It would make him lose at being a fort, though, for him to die in such a preventable way. He wasn't a fort anymore, obviously, so it didn't matter if he didn't protect him! Right? It still felt like it did, somewhere deep down that ate away at him, nagging.
[TO: BruvBot9000]: I'm almost at the ogre's layr (Arthur's shite house)
[TO: BruvBot9000]: (okay it's not shite its actually a lovely home but BOOOO! it's not a micronation so who cares right? lol)
[TO: BruvBot9000]: But we're pulling onto the street so I might be off while I say hi and bring my bags and all that. Give me time! I'll text when I can
And with that, he's gone. He's until only two minutes remain on the time limit, and regardless of what Vik does or doesn't say, all he gets is one word:
[TO: BruvBot9000]: hey
[TO: Sreiosu++]: oh good!! our pact has been honored and i need no longer grip the edge of this Suspense Mesa dangling helplessly over the precipice of anticipation
As one might imagine given his own closest relation, Viktor is no stranger to heaping on an excess of words, much more than his fair share, to fill in the silence left by a taciturn conversationalist. Though this brevity on Peter's part does seem a little out of character. Vik isn't sure what he'd expected, but maybe, at least something to the general effect of 'okay, so get this...'
[TO: Sreiosu++]: i am referring to a cliffhanger. in a(n unnecessarily) lexically decorative way which is intended to demonstrate through tone that i am operating at normal capacity and that nothing is out of the ordinary at this moment.
[TO: Sreiosu++]: unless your message's brevity as well as its arrival a down-to-the-wire two minutes before the expiration of my ultimatum is evidence that it was automated in advance, in which case, well done! i was momentarily deceived. but i have seen through the illusion.
This rambling probably scans as... awkward and shoehorned-in, maybe, but, it's too late to be worrying about that in addition to everything else.

my brain: operating at "wading thru oatmeal" speed
me: listen my guy im gonna need you to elabotate on how the act of painting a house can be granted ontological status provided the participants are weird enough
[TO: BruvBot9000]: yea but if i took a bow to u i don't think you'd make violin noised. yyou'd probably just say "ow" or soemthing.
[TO: BruvBot9000]: though I do VERY much like to imagine that before I met you, an d before the internet got better, u had to make dial-up noises evry time u teleported. loud screechy modems like trumpets herelding ur arrival
It takes a few times reading the message before he can fully parse out the meaning, as is often the case with Viktor's particular manner of speaking, but after a moment, he replies.
[TO: BruvBot9000]: I'm alright!
[TO: BruvBot9000]: England's never made me wait that long before. not at an airport at least. either he forgot i was coming in OR someting's happenned to him. i mean, not that i care either way, but we can't work things out if he fell down a a sewer grate and broke his neck
It is a few minutes before Viktor responds; it almost runs up against the maximum time between messages he'd requested of Peter in the first place. This is partially out of courtesy. If someone insists they are all right, at times the polite thing IS to take their word for it, rather than grab one's proverbial scalpel.
It is partially out of pride. If Viktor's intuition is incorrect, it would be hard to recover face if he were to insist and end up wrong.
It is partially because he's doing, like, three other things simultaneously.
(For those curious, what he's doing is: playing a strategy game [turn-based], getting some drawing in those fifteen-second lulls while the game processes his enemies' turns, and listening to a video essay, all at the same time, while also puzzling out what's up with his adopted brother and the source entity he's gone to visit.)
[TO: Sreiosu++]: if he fell down a sewer grate and broke his neck there is nothing to be worked out is there? You would triumph by default
[TO: Sreiosu++]: i Should incorporate trumpets.
Imagine, for a moment, that you've been meandering around the Vienna Prater for your favorite game-within-a-game: "Where's the cutscene?"
And much to your behest, you haven't found much, other than overpriced snacks and tourist traps. Very dull, boo boo tomato, etc. Simply not fitting for a young Lad!
Then the crucial moment comes. Here you have stumbled across TWO (2) constructions (technically, konst-ructions if you're Swedish-ish, or kunst-ructions if you're Österreichisch-ish)—whichever way we're pronouncing it, they're both alike in (art) diggity. Anyway, the lighthearted music playing around you that was set the tone of shenanigans and tomfoolery has immediately changed to something... only slightly more perilous, honestly.
Max's shocked-Alice-in-Wonderland expression begins to turn Chesire-Cat-pleased. It’s the kind of face you make at your friend from across the classroom after the teacher has unsuspectedly said an inside joke that the both of you share, and the two of you are fighting to keep it together.
"Viktooor…"
He begins to smear the oodles of red paint into his hair, as though he’s deep-shampooing it. Then he solemnly streaks one finger across his cheek.
"… Doppelganger."
This is about to be the best day of his whole damn week.
"A challenge to my concept of self, before my very eyes!"
"Here, allow me to present you with several prompts..."
His voice is raw, with a sore-throat rasp. Which means he is, in fact, actually physically here.
"I made it." "How have been the renovations?" "This is a lovely shade of blood orange!" "We are all very excited for you and relieved to hear more of the recent uptick in activity and interest in you, and the existential security it implies."
"Each is a viable route, each reasonable and relatively grounded, and therefore I expect you to pursue none of them. Instead, I am certain you are about to surprise me with some unknown aspect of my self, by means of your impersonation. Though, in that certainty, the greatest surprise may come if you do not surprise me. Do you intend to walk like me until I must instead walk like you?"
"To sound less labyrinthine: I am okay with doubles. Your contribution to the 𝕃𝔸𝔻𝕆ℕ𝕀𝔸 𝕆𝕍𝔼ℝ𝕊𝕆𝕌𝕃 is exactly as truthful as mine is, and I am eager for the overarching aggregate of my entit(ies) to be slightly altered by it. You have demonstrated a strong start already."
[TO: BruvBot9000]: you CANNOT turn into a string instrument??? what are u talking a bout?
[TO: BruvBot9000]: As for me I hate to brake it to u but having a phisical form means i cannot shapeshift. I'm rather stuck like like this, actually. would like to be a pigeon tho. love birds. pretty sure the material one is the one thatd let me fly and tbh that's the only reason I want to be one
[TO: BruvBot9000]: my strategy is [TO: BruvBot9000]: 1 - knock on the door [TO: BruvBot9000]: 2 - go inside [TO: BruvBot9000]: 3 - go to bed. didnt sleep on the plane.
[TO: Sreiosu++]: i can, i have, it was very fun, and i could do it again easily.
[TO: Sreiosu++]: Behold!
[TO: Sreiosu++]: [link]
[TO: Sreiosu++]: and again: perhaps not on the material plane, but in every other way that matters.
There’s a long period of silence, a sore wince, like pressing against a bruise.
[TO: Sreiosu++]: i do not mean to observe you during a moment of distress but your current emotional state, gleaned via aggregate of your messages and the diction with which you composed them, scans as more aggrieved even than you have been during previous visitations. it is possible my signal is faulty and this did not reach you however. a pigeon would never have let me down like this. alas
[TO: Sreiosu++]: [img attachment]
[TO: Sreiosu++]: it's you.
[TO: Sreiosu++]: furthermore on the topic of teleportation: git gud + skill issue + did not factor in proc probability for blood vessel dmg + should have just dispelled the migraine
[TO: Sreiosu++]: your skillset may be better suited to the task than mine is however. do you want me to track your location?
[TO: BruvBot9000]: if i were a pigeon i wouldn't have to deal with all this. could fly werever i damn well please [TO: BruvBot9000]: Raivis calls me this nickname that means seagull wing sometimes cayasbars or something He regrets typing that the moment he hits send, now almost certain that word will get out and he will be teased about it. Ugh. He's going to have to deal with someone making seagull noises at him in the next meeting. He can feel it in his bones. [TO: BruvBot9000]: sure i guess. track my location, o hack master [TO: BruvBot9000]: u think a pigeon could fly 12 kilometers with no break? even the non-uncrushble sorts? they seem like lazy birds. [TO: BruvBot9000]: kind of love them for that, rellay
[TO: Sreiosu++]: pigeons are exceptional by nearly every metric! if they could not fly long distances they would never have been employed as messengers.
[TO: Sreiosu++]: pigeons are hard workers and have never wronged any person.
[TO: Sreiosu++]: if i have the ability to transform into a string instrument (i can do this easily) then i am sure you could become a pigeon or other bird, perhaps not on the material plane but in every other way that matters i think you could achieve this.
[TO: Sreiosu++]: have you constructed a strategy for what you will do once you have arrived at your destination? if you have not, i have approximately fifty thousand good ideas

[TO: Sreiosu++] physically yes you could probably mortal kombat fatality anyone you encountered. but emotionally? imagine the toll.
[TO: Sreiosu++] You have already told me your charges, a contrived ploy though they may be, include: still having weapons
[TO: Sreiosu++] I will attempt to relax and i will offer you half hour intervals. nevertheless you should more diligently practice teleporting once this is done. you would not even be in this situation.
[TO: BruvBot9000]: iMaGiNe tHe ToLl
[TO: BruvBot9000]: Mate the toll road is payed almost entirely by the shite Arthur's put me through lmao I can handle anything [TO: BruvBot9000]: [PIC OF A LICENSE PLATE] got an uber I'll keep texting you on the drive over
[TO: BruvBot9000]: Last time I tried to teleport like you do all i got was popped blood vessel in my eye and a migraine.
[TO: Sreiosu++]: [img attachment]
[TO: Sreiosu++]: it's you.
[TO: Sreiosu++]: furthermore on the topic of teleportation: git gud + skill issue + did not factor in proc probability for blood vessel dmg + should have just dispelled the migraine
[TO: Sreiosu++]: your skillset may be better suited to the task than mine is however. do you want me to track your location?
[TO: Sreiosu++] i made my conditions clear
[TO: Sreiosu++] if(num≤10)
[TO: Sreiosu++] {printf("Sea is doing fine");}
[TO: Sreiosu++] else
[TO: Sreiosu++] {printf("Sea is unable or unwilling to respond and his location is unknown which may warrant concern.");}
[TO: Sreiosu++] end
[TO: Sreiosu++] you have pain receptors and you have not yet mastered the art of teleportation. this is a worrying combination
[TO: BruvBot9000]: i am also made of steel
[TO: BruvBot9000]: I could probably go full Terminator on someone if I so wanted. yank their heads off their necks.
[TO: BruvBot9000]: i wont stop responding to you but please at least give me 15 minutes instead of 10. Can we bargain on thhat?
[TO: BruvBot9000]: the most danger i'm in right now is dying of boredome. There must not be many flights becase the airport is weirdl empty
[TO: BruvBot9000]: If I try to chat to the bloke running the giftshop again I think he might actually attempt murder. Got one of those "I hate kids" faces enen tho I'm definitely older
[TO: Sreiosu++] physically yes you could probably mortal kombat fatality anyone you encountered. but emotionally? imagine the toll.
[TO: Sreiosu++] You have already told me your charges, a contrived ploy though they may be, include: still having weapons
[TO: Sreiosu++] I will attempt to relax and i will offer you half hour intervals. nevertheless you should more diligently practice teleporting once this is done. you would not even be in this situation.
• The young man is covered in BLOOD ORANGE. Trailing behind The Little Hamster is a series of copper-colored footsteps. ... Looks like it's never too early to start for Halloween?! •
"P... Paint. Paint, paint. ... Pain... t. Pain. T. Pain. Paint! PainT! PAINT!"
"English does have the Wortspiel!!!"
[ ITS FINE ITS NOT REAL AND EVEN IF IT IS. I AM AWARE PEOPLE HAVE BLOOD IN THEM. I KNOW A LOT ABOUT BLOOD AND I CAN EVEN LOOK DIRECTLY AT BLOOD WHILE RETAINING MY FACULTIES. IM SO GOOD AT THIS. ]
"Is... being painted actually hurting you. Or did you just realize that paint has the word pain in it and decided to jumpscare me with no motive or provocation."
[TO: Sea++] of course I remember! what does it matter to him that we happen to be nearby? Theres no reason to forget we would be there, we have the right to be wherever we want!
[TO: Sea++] fine. but if you go more than 10 minutes without any correspondence I'm informing Sve your brother allowed you to be abducted through negligence.
[TO: BruvBot9000]: DO NNOT TELL PAPA ABOT ANY OF THIS!!
[TO: BruvBot9000]: I AM SREIOSU!
[TO: BruvBot9000]: *SERIOUS
[TO: BruvBot9000]: I can handle myself like I always have. Making Sve worry for no good reason is just plain cruel. If Arthur doesn't come, I'll get a ride over in a non-hitchiking way. Promise I'll be safe. u cannot worry pappa. he'll be so mad.
[TO: BruvBot9000]: and if he talks to arturd and makes it obvious I complained then these next few days will be even more miserable than usual. Arthur won't let me hear the end of it
[TO: Sreiosu++] i made my conditions clear
[TO: Sreiosu++] if(num≤10)
[TO: Sreiosu++] {printf("Sea is doing fine");}
[TO: Sreiosu++] else
[TO: Sreiosu++] {printf("Sea is unable or unwilling to respond and his location is unknown which may warrant concern.");}
[TO: Sreiosu++] end
[TO: Sreiosu++] you have pain receptors and you have not yet mastered the art of teleportation. this is a worrying combination
[TO: BruvBot9000]: i won't spend too much. i'm buying the magnet and securing rations
[TO: BruvBot9000]: physical condition is fine. We've officially hit te 3 hour mark. u think that's long enough to shame him online or no? [TO: BruvBot9000]: he probably forgot i exist again lol
Wait, that's too much. Reel it back in. [TO: BruvBot9000]: Remember when our League of MMicronations meeting ended and he froze when i walked out and looked like he saw a ghost?? i thought that HE thought i got invited to the actual world conference and was scared but tbh he probably was reminded i exist. [TO: BruvBot9000]: I think every time he has to see me it takes a decade off his life. like a vampire but without te gross blood stff.
[TO: BruvBot9000]: i shold hitchhike to his house to really scare him!!
[TO: Sea++] of course I remember! what does it matter to him that we happen to be nearby? Theres no reason to forget we would be there, we have the right to be wherever we want!
[TO: Sea++] fine. but if you go more than 10 minutes without any correspondence I'm informing Sve your brother allowed you to be abducted through negligence.

[TO: BruvBot9000]: yea exactly!!! he'll be all "oi u brat don't you dare start whining. there was traffik alright? blahblahblah honestly peter I am SOOO very busy! Can't move the world just bcause your impatient! blahlah god save the king! hmm yes quite" and i'll get to tell that posh prick that I already checked the traffic apps and there isn't any so he's full of it. The more I wait the more crushing the reveal will be on his bs persona. And the more he can reassert to himself that he does not, in fact, matter in the slightest to the man he dedicated his first decades to defending, who he dreamt about and cried out for through a decade of isolation. Not worth saving from the sea, and not worth picking up from the airport. [TO: BruvBot9000]: i'll get a pic of his stupid mug for u. not like i care. he could leave me here for days or weeks and i'd jsut rack up foodcourt charges on the card HE gave me. oo let me nab you a souuvenir from th giftshop! HIS treat! [TO: BruvBot9000]: plz don't do the password thing. it will un-high my highhorse. do u want a teacup wit corgis on it or a frigerator magnet in memorium of Liz that u can stick to myy back wen u get annoyed with me lol
[TO: Sea++] i doubt england is versed enough in the lore of the MCU (Micronations Cinematic Universe) to make the connection between you and his accounts being suddenly and mysteriously compromised
[TO: Sea++] but i will respect your wish to conduct this battle on your own terms.
[TO: Sea++] i feel obligated to point out that spending too much of his money could likewise unhigh your horse. but i would enjoy the magnet.
[TO: Sea++] every time you finally notice it had been stuck to your back for hours like an even stupider than average kick me sign, you will recall this moment, and forever associate this minor recurring prank with the triumph i believe you will experience today
[TO: Sea++] how is your physical condition holding up? your fault for mentioning it. you should get some kind of food. to deprive yourself out of spite is probably overkill in this context and not worth it
[TO: BruvBot9000]: seriusly. hug papa for me plz
Ugh, he is not tearing up. He likes being in England just fine, thank you very much! And knowing that after this, he'll have to spend the next few months on Sealand. . . Well, he can't deny he's excited to be with his human family and take stock of which repairs are needed, but the hard part about being part of Berwald's family now is that it hurts to be away. He agreed long ago to split his time between both homes equally, but even if he knew it couldn't happen, he wished above all else that his father and brother could come live on Sealand with him. [TO: BruvBot9000]: it's nbd. it's probably nothing. he's probably not even actually mad about anythign and is jsut trying to mess with my head. I provoked them by -being happy with your family, probably. He doesn't type that. Ew. Like he can admit that without Vik tearing him to pieces or looking like a crybaby.
[TO: BruvBot9000]: by messing with his chair in the meeting hall. can't figure out how to prank me back, so the coward has to remind me how high adn mighty he is.
[TO: BruvBot9000]: there's nothing worth telling about realy. i'm whinging for whinging's sake and you've been chosen as the lucky Complaint Recepticle. congrats. i'll make you a trophy later.
[TO: BruvBot9000]: he was supposed to pick me up from the airport 2.5 hours ago. think he forgot. and he thinks IM stupid. pots and kettles ad all thhat.
[TO: Sea++] you ARE a challenge to counterprank.
This is... honestly the best he can do right now. The whole "worthy opponent" shtick. Now all Vik has to do is actually sound sincere for once.
[TO: Sea++] let me guess: instead of reminding him to come and retrieve you, you have not said a word, in the knowledge that every hour of tardiness on his part is another, deeper fissure in the foundation of his gentleman-and-good-host-sona.
[TO: Sea++] that's smart. choosing not to interrupt your enemy while he is making a mistake. Hit him in the pride and the outwardly projected self-image
This feels... off. This feels weird. How much does Sve know about this? Had Vik been kept out of the loop on purpose?
[TO: Sea++] do you want me to retrieve his passwords for you as ransom? this is the closest i can offer to the classic "do you want me to beat him up for you", though my methods are more effective
(Maybe offers like that are why youre left out of the loop Vik!!!)
