#admin powers

"Oh fuck I always forget how much that hurts-" Ranboo complained, letting his head tip forward onto his lover's shoulder. The true ache wouldn't start until Dream stripped the memories back again, leaving poor, other-Ranboo to deal with the headache, but it still stung. Technically, this was very, very illegal. Even with consent, rearranging a Player's code was considered taboo just for the power imbalance involved - when someone could mess with your very memories, how could you be *sure* you'd consented? He was so glad he didn't have that worry. He trusted Dream more than he trusted himself - he'd been the one to suggest this, after all! This separation of minds - the perfect infiltration. A part of Ranboo, with all his memories of Dream sliced clean away, sent into the heart of the insurgents, to befriend them, to gain their trust and affection, the sleeper agent in their midst. What better a spy than one who didn't know they were? OR OR 3 times Ranboo remembered Dream, and 1 time he couldn't, featuring: less sex than the author intended, a lot of plot, feels, and some angst, and a pair of very cute lovers

Had a cool idea.

So Dream is the admin of the server. And in universe there is a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes that an admin must do to help the server.

Dream being in prison can't do much work since that takes energy and with conditions of the prison he can't get much energy to do much.

So when he brought Wilbur back to life he used what left of his energy to make Wilbur an admin. Wilbur was an admin before so he knows what to do.

This has the side effect of Ghostbur also becoming an admin. Since he and Wilbur were once the same person.

Ghostbur can't be on the server. He is either in limbo or watching in the Admin's Plane (Which is where all the code is for the server. Only admins can go there and interact with it)

This does work out well since Ghostbur can do a lot of the work while Wilbur is walking around the server. Both Wilbur and Dream agreed it was best to not let anyone know about Wilbur becoming an admin.

So Ghostbur is a big help. Wilbur still does help but Ghostbur is at it the most.

Ghostbur does want to talk to Tommy but knows that there is no way Tommy could enter the Admin's Plane.

Wilbur is trying to find a way to let Ghostbur on the server.

Also I like to imagine that in this au, Ghostbur was the one who the dog in the prison. He wanted Techno and Dream to have a friend.

He was very upset at what Sam did.

Using any admin abilities in the prison is risky so that is why only a dog was put there.
