Dammit i have way too many ideas about this AU, but i have way too many AUs that i'm also brainroting about 😭😭 But basically:

This took place when Orpheus was veryyyyy close to reaching the truth

Alice (who was merged with the Abyss at the time) was worried that the truth maybe too much for him (and to her) so she kind of created a sitcom/silent film-themed essence and put everyone's soul there (but then i will also have to explain the fanlore of essence function and how involved others' survs and hunters are in it) aka Wandavision style

The DeRoss family included Alice, Orpheus, Burke, his husband Bane, Bonbon and 2 daughter: "Memory" and the Lost Girl

YES the very Lost Girl that Orpheus was commissioned to find but somehow she ended up in this situation. Right under his nose. Now Orpheus just needs to remember and figure out what's going on.

On the other hand, Nightmare is messing with Alice regarding this. Hos stance is [redacted] which keeps challenging Alice to do whatever she's doing.

However, he's not an enemy

The real adverseries are the forces outside of the manor and the Abyss...

[[I think that's how I revealed to twitter that yes, I ship these two actually. It took me like... half a year to finally embrace and admit this ship, and when I look back at the journey, the whole thing is funny as hell //laughs. It's the whole processing how their relationship is basically retelling of "Orpheus and Eurydice", "East of the Sun and West of the Moon". "Death and the Maiden" but "Death" is your childhood friend who went onto a slippery slope path of evil, hosting artificial Underworld. Tsk, Reylo really changed every cells of my body.

And I'm confident that this is the kind of story the game devs trying to tell...

But no Karen, they aint siblings!!!! And I tried to half-explain it with the comic above =))))
