''Something rattles in the forbidden crevices of your skull. It laments and begs to be known, to be remembered. But the world is unforgiving. You are exhausted by the constant presenting yourself as fulfilled. One wrong word or move will label you as unwell again. So it all fades into Oblivion.'' To rot.''

The Narrative

Elaine Hainault, Tim Wright, Tabby Anderson, Ruby Addams, and Marybeth Vu all have a disturbing past. None dares to speak it. They move through the motions that is life and take their medication with desperation to forget— What were they trying forget again?

There are only three consistent patients who attend the group meetings Dr. Soun mandates. The others have moved on. Marybeth and Tabby may join on rare occasions.

Will Tim, Elaine, and Ruby be able to move on or has the Rot seeped too deep into their souls?

Oblivion is a guilty pleasure Slenderverse project. The major characters belong to my mutuals. However, well-known established characters from Marble Hornets or x-virus will appear.

This au is pretty bleak and adventurous compared to the more hopeful Slenderverse aus. It delves into the psyche of those infected with a cosmic disease and how they cope. Some writhe away, and some continue to live despite the looming dread.

Oblivion is a creative exercise for me, and there will be no solid storyline. Please go check out my lovely mutuals for fanfics!

Character Synopsis

Tabby is a 25-year-old woman who lives in a studio apartment and works as a cook for a meal prep organization. She rarely attends the group meetings as she doesn't see much value in them, and being the youngest doesn't help her connect easily. Tabby spends most of her free time with the stray cats or putting up missing posters for Gabriel or even protesting.

Tabby grew up in a small religious town. Her upbringing was chaotic and shaped her no-nonsense mindset. Tabby was sent off to Rosewood Prep when she was around 9, and graduated at 18.

Her little brother is the only connection she has left to MapleGrove. The Vales and Langs moved away. Gabriel is gone.

Relationships:

Dr. Soun is Tabby's physiatrist. Tabby typically doesn't attend the group sessions recommended.

Gabriel Reed was Tabby's found little brother. She is fiercely protective of him and wanted to runaway with him before being sent away to Rosewood Prep. When she returned, she was told Gabriel was gone, but she knew Alam and Felix must have kicked him out. She longs to find him.

Tim Wright and Tabby often butt heads due to differing opinions and sarcastic attitudes. But Tabby sees through his act; he's just tired and anxious, as everyone else is in that room.

Elaine Hainault is kindest to Tabby, always asking how she's doing and if she wants company. Tabby appreciates it and thinks Elaine is a decent mom. She understands Elaine's struggle with insomnia.

Ruby Addams is quiet and rarely speaks in the meetings; she reminds Tabby of Gabriel. Tabby tries to be gentle with her.

Jessica and Marybeth don't attend meetings. Tabby assumes they have similar opinions to hers on these meetings.

A/N: This is a reinterpretation of @connectionterminated13's character Dash for Oblivion. Everything was done with her input involved. This was a lovely experience, thank you letting create this beast. I encourage sending asks about Houndling! We'd love to talk more about her. Divider: @uzmacchiato

Birthed from the Rot, Houndling is the bare bones of a person that never learned to be one.

The miracle baby was given to she who brings the plague out of nativity. Being born with rot infused in one's DNA did not grant the infant worship, sure its existence was acknowledged. But it was not responsive to the cooing of women or probing of the men.

And so the masquerade grew bored because in a world where ambition ensured survival, the girl fell flat in their eyes.

However, the girl was drawn to Madam Salvatore plague. The woman who fed her, bathed her, and clothed her. The only person who didn't want to soften her.

When the girl tore insects apart, the woman rewarded her. No flash of disgust or mockery.

And as she entered adolescence, everyone was reminded this girl was a spawn of the rot. The girl could tear limbs easily from the strongest of animals, sharp teeth to pierce flesh, and sensitive ears to track movement.

Yet the girl still lacked that individuality everyone else clung to with symbolic monikers and flashy costumes. And the dog motif was convenient for the girl, claws to split skin, and a mask to conceal the humanness.

No longer could the masquerade see a girl when the most human part of her was locked away behind that dog head.

A/N: Elaine belongs to @gothic-illustrations, dividers were made by me. Any questions are encouraged!

Fluff

The very first time they met was when Brian bought Tim to one of Elaine's performances.

They bantered briefly outside the club. Tim mentioned he liked music but was horrible at playing instruments.

Elaine encouraged him to keep playing before she returned to her band.

The two would meet again attending the same support group. Elaine was smoking outside the building.

The two continued to smoke together and vent about their days for the next few months.

Tim would offer doing handy work which Elaine would refuse for the next year.

After she developed feelings for Tim, Elaine began accepting his help and even asking him to check things out that were minor.

Tim is a car mechanic so Elaine always visits him if her car is being weird even though she could just fix it herself.

On rare occasions Tim plays the ukulele and Elaine sings.

Tim and Elaine will have friend dinners (dates) whenever Lillian is at a sleepover.

If Tim ever sleeps walks, he always ends up at Elaine's house.

They fell asleep on call.

Elaine tried teaching Tim hunting. He did like it, he felt sick.

Angst

Elaine and Tim crave stability yet chaos loves them.

Elaine really likes Tim but he doesn't have his life together. She doesn't want to risk adding him to Lillian's life and then Tim bailing.

Tim thinks Elaine is out of his league and worries someone more mentally and financially stable will come along.

The more time they spend together, the more the rot grows. Effectively making their lives worst.

The more time they spend together, the more the rot spreads. Effectively making their lives worst .

Tim worries about Eve and Elaine's relationship as Eve appears more put together then him.

Elaine doesn't like how toxic Tim and Marybeth are. As the two encouraged each other's vices.

The Manor is a reinterpretation of the popular slendermansion trope. The residence and forest are a maze to those who rebuke the Rot's (slenderman) presence.

This is home to Plague's Masquerade. A fraction of carrions (proxies) that are ruthless, and theatrical. They follow the classical proxy portrayal.

The Rot / Rotten—> Slenderman / the Operator

An Eldritch entity in the form of cobwebs, rotting flesh, and bones with a crown of antlers and no face.

Paradise / the forest

The Rotten's dimension. A garden surrounded by a maze of decaying trees and mangled flesh creatures. Only the strong may survive.

Carrions

"Proxies." People who do the Rot's bidding.

Severed

1. People who have been exposed to the Rot and try to reject its existence. One way or another, they must be purged from society. •Carrions who actively sabotage the domain leader's rules and try to escape abandon the Rot.

Oblivil (subject to change.)

A medication that compels patients to forget their paranormal experience and the people, place, and motives at that moment. Individuals should have no desire to remember their memory gap and will experience headaches and nosebleeds if they try. They'll forever have an empty feeling after taking the medicine and experience symptoms similar to depression.
