I Want to Change Our Worlds
DISCLAIMER: This is an AU to PPT. All lore for this between Ollie and Ryuu is strictly Emotionally-based, focusing on bonds and friendship. I want ZERO inappropriate comments. That being said, please enjoy.
ADENDUM: Because of how far these Lores are now taking place, even though I’ve basically given more than enough [vague] spoilers, I don’t want to reveal too much more. I’m changing up the formula for this one, giving brief summaries only. Hey, I gotta keep some mystery.
Making it to Safe Haven wasn’t easy, between coming in contact with Sawyer, his pet, and the Red Smoke. The arguments she got into with the Doctor has left her completely drained of energy and willpower, feeling like she’s failing at her rescue attempt. She still carries the phone with her and engages with Ollie frequently, every now and then allowing Poppy to speak with him when needed. She feels like she’s losing her sanity at this point, questioning everything including herself. Theo and Doey provide her with as much comfort and support as possible, Ollie hesitantly offering what he can, still encouraging her to leave the factory. It isn’t until Shelf Ventilation Block B6 does she discover something horrific…
No longer going by CatNap, Theo loyally follows Ryuu to aid her on her rescue mission. He becomes aware of her hallucinations when her stress is too high, becoming quite the challenge for him to keep her going. Any area that has a threat of Red Smoke he tackles for her unless she has no other choice; he even controls his own so he doesn’t harm her. Theo will allow Ryuu to ride on his back after fashioning a makeshift saddle for her so his spine doesn’t hurt her when needed. While at Safe Haven, he aids Doey tending to the others and gathering supplies. Later, he is given a special task that he has to do no matter what happens, and it includes leaving Ryuu.
Saving Ryuu and Theo from Pianosaurus, Doey feigns meeting the girl for the first time, till he confesses the truth later on. This 900lbs ball of dough becomes Ryuu’s biggest source of strength, filling in the gap that Ollie currently cannot, reminding her a lot of how he was when they were in Playcare. She gets to know the three kids combined within (Matthew 18, Kevin 13, Jack 9), earning the trust of two but not quite the third. Being her support does add some more pressure, but it’s something he’s willing to do if it means ending all the suffering that’s gone on for the last ten years. Like Theo and Marie, he feels Ryuu is the answer. However, he starts to worry when she gets a nasty feeling about something…
Not thrilled with Ryuu having gotten as far as she has, he continues to encourage her to leave and forget about everything, but she keeps refusing, not leaving till she has him back. When not speaking with Poppy, he tries his best to help her through the new level of the factory, only being offset by Sawyer.
Impressed and disgusted at the same time with the young woman, Sawyer has a new goal other than just outright killing Ryuu; he wants to make her his next experiment, something the Toys won’t allow to happen. The two engage in nasty arguments whenever they’re within the smallest bit of range, him really trying to drag her down to the point she gives up. It isn’t until their real encounter later on that something unexpected happens…
Despite getting along with Ryuu, their viewpoints on how to handle the factory differ causing some tension. No matter what, she wants to blow everything up, but Ryuu doesn’t think it’s a good idea as it would ruin her whole investigation along with her rescue attempt. Going off only the phone conversations, she assures Ollie will be okay, but with Doey also against the idea, it’s an uneasy two against one.
She’s been through quite a lot, her most recent injury worrying Ryuu, but both girls are relieved to see each other after her attack at the Hatch Room. While spending most of her time recovering, Kissy is still there to support Ryuu through her meltdowns, trying her best to keep her heart in the game and not give up on her mission. She wants Ryuu to reunite with Ollie and to end all the suffering. However, in the Ventilation System…
Untrusting of both Ryuu and Theo at first, they start to learn neither of them are a threat, though they still stay guarded around Theo, thinking any minute he’ll unleash his Red Smoke. With a little time to spare, they watch as Ryuu helps out around the place, some of the Toys reaching out to her learning of her struggles. It isn’t until later when a rescued Nightmare Critter comes carrying a piece of her clothing that they fully realize what she’s trying to do.
Mathew’s Age (born between 1973-1975) makes him the oldest of the Playcare Orphans to be experimented on. By the time of his procedure in 1993, he’d be 18-20 years old, older than most are held within an orphanage or foster care. Either they refused to let him leave, or he himself refused to leave as it’s said the children really liked him. We do see him struggle with the responsibility of taking care of his new family (Safe Haven) in a VHS, something someone of his age would likely have trouble with, yet he chooses to stay.
Ryuu’s will and resolve become greatly challenged here dealing with Sawyer and learning more truths about the factory.
The decision to be more vague vs what I’ve already posted, as stated, is to keep some of the mystery alive. I have notebooks filled with lore, so nothing’s being lost. I’ll also admit here, I don’t own any of the games; I’m strictly a Watcher for a variety of reasons, so I’m doing a bit of struggle with the game lore, relying mostly on the Wiki and whatever playthroughs I can find.
Also, these lore arts are coming out faster than my fanfic because my brain will not shut up, sooo….
