DUDE YES YES AND YES. seawatt is literally a monolith of his culture essentially because he's literally the only one LEFT to remember it for so long. then when everything's settled down and the fighter layers remaining residents are moved up to master or down to the pro level (maybe at his request for all of them to get golden boots so his people will never have to worry again), but still SO MANY people being lost ☹️☹️. his WHOLE FAMILY is gone. his childhood friends are probably gone too and almost everyone else who DOES know him probably doesn't think of him positively : ((

NOT JUST THAT BUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES TOO. LIKE OMFG. the way the other layers must've SUFFERED because of the sudden food shortages and animals literally going extinct enmass, how expensive everything must've gotten because a lot of food seems to literally come straight from the fighter layer judging by the farms that are left behind (also based on abandoned desert villages in minecraft, only saying this in particular because they have the same block sets that are used and i love minecraft lore so you know i clocked big time).

they went from like 15-20 different mobs to maybe 3 or 4 to eat and even less vegetables and fruits. like oh my days. OH MY DAYS??? things like fish (tropical, cod, salmon), glowberries and other important parkour staples just. don't exist anymore because they we're almost entirely exclusive to the fighter layer itself. UGH.

Also let me tell you the unadulterated joy I felt when I read Mercy for the lamb for the first time.

RhymesWithChronic the GOAT ngl

EMF is actually a star being. (And is sick because of the astrophage)

Rocky is still there and is even meaner to Evbo than he was to Grace in the book.

Seawatt is a scientist back on earth, or in Stratt’s position.

SO on the fighter layer there isn’t a lot of food. The cut off from civilization means all the foods they were importing are suddenly gone, everyone’s suddenly learning to farm with seeds that won’t grow there in a hunters land where there’s only so much food left. Every day people have to go out further and further to find new prey until they inevitably start finding better and larger prey.

That new prey being other players.

When Seawatt first goes to the fighter layer he brings food. He knows he’ll be there for a few months, so he brings as much as he can.

By the time Evbo shows up (about 3 months later) his food supply has run almost completely dry. Seawatt has had to give a lot of it to the other fighters to stop them from eating him, unfortunately.

(Seawatt, by the way, is horrified in this development. What do you mean his home where there used to be someone holding feast every other weekend has turned into this? What do you mean his neighbors don’t flinch at the sight of organs and blood anymore? What do you mean they’ve become everything Seawatt was taught to hate. Starving and desperate. Why has Seawatt turned into that himself?)

Seawatt is slightly confused when Evbo doesn’t comment on the blood caking the floors of what used to be intact floors.

As the weeks keep coming and going Seawatt can’t find anymore food. The way Evbo seems comfortable in his own starvation is horrifying. Seawatt has a brief moment of reflection on what he did to all those noobs, but then skips over it because he’s not there yet <//3

Anyways. Seawatt complains about the hunger. Evbo doesn’t even hesitate to hold his arm out.

What?

He would say he didn’t mean to sound so disgusted but that wasn’t true he did and he was. He asks Evbo what he’s doing. Evbo says that if Seawatt starves he won’t have a way to get the discs anymore.

Seawatt turns around and instead goes to bed.

He does not sleep that night.

Anyways yeah I’ve been thinking of that for a bit :P I hashtag love psychological horror

- While raising Percy on the noob level, Seawatt refused to take off his fighter boots. One of the parkour pros, someone new to their job and kind of ignorant, got pissy about this and demanded he wear the leather boots. Seawatt responded with a parkour battle.

- EMF, despite being just as much of a deadbeat as Evbo, saw the conditions on the noob layer and felt kinda bad. The food got marginally better. Evbo noticed this and asked, but EMF never told him why.

- Percy inherited the ability to do 360s. Because of this (and Seawatt's excellent parkour tutelage), he decided to try his hand at ranking up. Seawatt didn't approve at first, but after a lot of persuasion he finally agreed to it.

- After Percy ranked up as high as he could (likely to the master level), EMF and Evbo descended to congratulate him. Percy was a bit confused, since usually the parkour god and champion don't directly talk to people, especially not together. (And Seawatt never told Percy about his other parents.)

After that, the story could go two directions, depending on how Percy would react to the truth. Or whatever direction you want it to go, I'm not your mom.
