DSRPH Prologue Bonus Scenes First Impressions
Yay DSRPH! Letâs see what these goobers get up to âoff-camera,â per se!
CW: Stalking, robbing, religion.
Angle & Peep
Not one of mine, but super interesting. The two illegal talents, what will they do?
âYippee! I should do a cartwheel down the street. Can I do a cartwheel? I must be athletic enough to pull it off. But what if Iâm not the wheel dealâŠ?â
So this is Angleâs inner monologue⊠What in the hell is going on here?! xD Weâre a paragraph in and thereâs already a horrible pun with the âwheel dealâ thing, this might be equal parts painful and hilarious I fear.
âI run towards him at top speed.â
Why?!
âHe backs up as I approach him, which was probably a good idea, as the force of my approach pins him to the building wall with a slam. Angle: Gimme everything in your pockets, now! Peep: Whâhuh??? Are you mugging me? Angle: Yeah! Stick âem up!â
??????? Sister in Christ weâve been here two seconds. Holy shit sheâs actually even crazier than I remembered I love her so much xD
âPeep: Um⊠so, does that mean youâre not mugging meâŠ? Angle: Guess not! Weâll have to save it for later, once you have some cash on you again!â
Weâre actually insane. What is happening.
âPeep: I didnât really think anybody would care about that⊠Angle: Well, I do, I guess! So tell me. Peep: I donât know⊠Youâre not really supposed to tell your name to someone whoâs trying to mug you⊠Angle: Câmon, man, that was in the past.â
Yâknow, Peepâs saying some concerning things, but itâs kinda getting drowned out by whateverâs wrong with Angle (/aff).
âPeep: I definitely donât want to tell you my name if youâre the Ultimate Bounty HunterâŠ! Angle: Lol, why? You worried Iâm gonna kill you?â
Weâre saying âlolâ out loud. Actually a girl after my own heart apparently. Lol.
âAngle: Thatâs fair. You do have kind of a killable aura to you.â
Bruh. This better not be foreshadowing ToT
âMan, this guy is really quiet!â
Man I wonder why!!!
âAngle: Ohhhh, Ultimate Stalker. Okay, cool!â
Shouldâve figured the reaction would have been funny lmao.
âPeep: I mean⊠Some people think that stalking is wrong, even though that doesnât make any sense. But, since your talent is also something thatâs typically frowned upon, maybe you get it⊠Peep thinks to himself for a moment before erupting in frustration. Peep: No, what am I thinking?! Showing off your admiration and being a literal murderer arenât the same at all!â
Oh right I forgot heâs insane too. Actually unhinged, how does he not know why stalking is wrong. Weâre going crazy.
âPeep: There are amazing people out there who deserve to be appreciated as much as humanly possible! Dedicating your life to theirs is completely understandable. On the other hand, agreeing to end lives for a paycheck is super weird⊠Angle: Hey, paychecks are way more amazing than whoever youâre talking about!â
Okay this conversation is unhinged in every direction. Itâs the best kind of train wreck Iâve ever witnessed lmao.
âJust because Peep (as far as I know) doesnât have a bounty on him doesnât mean that I couldnât kill him. Itâd just kinda be a waste of time. But, would it be more of a waste of time than standing here listening to him trash talking paychecksâŠ?â
Fucking hell Angle. This better not be foreshadowing ToT
Okay, that was peak. Just, fantastic train wreck of a conversation. I loved every second of it, Iâm so glad this got requested xD Whoever did it, your mind is beautifulâŠ
Flare & Keen
Didnât request this one either, but itâs interesting! I wonder how itâs gonna goâŠ
âI have to get out of this place. This entire stupid dome, obviously, but even more than that, this ROOM!â
Oh hell yeah Flare PoV. It would have been fun seeing Keenâs deductions in real time, but this is funnier xp
âWhoeverâs behind this kidnapping is trying to prove that they know more about me than I do. Thatâs illegal. WHAT IF THEYâRE RIGHT???â
Brother what are we crashing out about ToT Is there really nothing else you might be worried about?
âIâve already been perceived in this building for too long, caught up talking with that walking safety hazard and scary sword guy.â
âScary Sword Guyâ is funny lol.
âHowever, in my hurry to exit, I make contact with an alien lifeform.â
What are calling Keen this for? ToT
âSheâs already proven herself a fool. When isnât there a reason to yell???â
Oh my god theyâre all insane. Theyâre out of their goddamn minds. This is going to be my favorite fangan ever at this rate⊠:O
âFlare: I already know who you are, obviously. Keen smirks, pleased. Keen: Finally, my reputation precedes me. I wouldnât have pegged you as an avid mystery reader, but Iâm glaâ Flare: Huh? Who gives a fuck about that??? I just read your profile on that tablet thing! Keen: Oh. Keen deflates slightly.â
Oh, Keenâs a little prideful, I see! Also funny from Flare lol.
âKeen: Simply obtaining knowledge of oneâs name and profession isnât an introduction. I wonât let you pass until you engage with me on a deeper level. WHAT THE HELL IS SHE THINKING?!â
Brother. It is not that serious ToT
âFlare: Whatever!!! I can take you in a fight! Keen: Wow, I didnât know that about you. Flare: GAH! Get out of my head! Keen: You quite blatantly said that aloud.â
Get outplayed lmao.
âKeen: What, you donât want me to listen to you? Flare: Not if youâre going to INTERROGATE me!!! Keen: First of all, technically, thatâs another thing I didnât know about you. Secondly, I suppose that means I have no obligation to listen to your pleas for escape.â
Oh heâs getting cooked. Get his ass Kween! Get it? Like Keen and Queen? Thatâs awful? Alright Iâll cut it out xD
âFlare: Well, GUESS WHAT? By the inverse function theoremâ Keen: âWhat?â Flare: âIâve learned an EQUIVALENT amount of information about you! You canât take me in a fight, and you want to interrogate me! You might even want me to listen to you!!! Keen: âŠAnd? Flare: Including your name, code name, and profession, THATâS SIX THINGS! SIX THINGS I KNOW ABOUT YOU!!! I grin. Her fate is sealed. Flare: I win.â
What are we even saying anymore man? Flare what is wrong with you ToT
âKeen: This is too much. Flare: Yeah, you are. Keen: No, you. The introduction of trivial hurdles is an essential step in fleshing out oneâs narrative skeleton, but those hurdles canât be so utterly off-putting that no one wants to engage with the core concept. Keen grimaces at me. Keen: Whoever decided to install you in this experience must have either miscalculated, or have an abnormally high tolerance.â
Alright now Keenâs talking kinda crazy. Love that sheâs effectively talking about accirax in a very roundabout way, because come on, if any character was going to talk directly through the fourth wall⊠xD
âFlare: Stop talking about âfleshingâ skeletons. Youâre weird.â
Bruh T_T
âKeen: Flare, the Ultimate Drone Pilot. Gender: Male. Heightâ Flare: AAAAAAAAAAH!â
I love them so much actually. Theyâre so funny, itâs peak I'm afraid. This was fantastic, thanks to whoever submitted this because it was awesome :D
Alabaster & Tylwyth
Oh hey, I actually submitted this one! Yay! :D
âThe hour Sunny gave us whiles on as I wait for more future converts to gravitate my way. Except, the reception Iâve been getting from the âstudentsâ here hasnât been the most welcome thus far, has it?â
Oof. Thatâs rough, buddy.
âI donât understand why my usual charms have had no effect on these people. They have more within reach and more that could slip out of their grasp than the average person, so they should be even more inclined to seek stability and growth alongside the Gypsumites. Well, itâs no matter. All it takes is one drop in the bucket to signal the beginning of a rainstorm. Once I can get one of these students to bite, the rest will feast accordingly.â
Welp, thereâs the probably-a-cult leader shining through. Everyoneâs insane here, I gotta remember that.
âPerhaps [Tylwyth] could serve as that first point of contactâŠâ
For some reason I doubt that :p
âAlabaster: Hello there! Pardon the intrusion, but, am I correct in assuming that thatâs a shepherdâs crook youâre carrying with you? Tylwyth: Why, yes, it is! I take it youâre familiar with them? Alabaster: Of course. While I canât claim to have used one directly, Iâve certainly had the chance to watch others put them to use. Tylwyth: That makes complete sense. Now that I know, I can easily tell that youâre a guy whoâs had a crooked past.â
Wow. Clocked in two lines. I guess she could be wrong, but itâs still super funny that she immediately jumped on offense xD
âJust what does she think she stands to gain by insinuating that I havenât lived a life of virtue? No matter the reason, I canât let her get under my skin.â
Yeah this is a good start xD
âAlabaster: I assume you must be the same, if youâve chosen to carry it with you on this expedition. Tylwyth: Crook my heart and hope to die. Alabaster: Well, if youâve ever wished to move away from your own crooked path, I have a solution for you.â
Iâm fucking losing it. Stop saying crook ToT
âAlabaster: Yes. Heâs an all-powerful, all-knowing deity, and by channeling His word through my body, Heâs able to share His wisdom with the world. If youâre interested in joining His worship, He can help you achieve even greater heights than youâve thus far even imagined. Tylwyth: Oh, thank goodness! If I start praying with all my heart right now, how soon can I hope to see results? Sheâs acting oddly eager. I canât help but feel as if something is off about her. Still, itâs likely best to move along with the usual procedures.â
Brother. I donât think sheâs interested xD
âTylwyth: O Great Gypsum, I find myself between a rock and a hard place. Iâm so far from home, and have no idea what Iâm doing amidst these strange and startling foreignersâ especially that self-proclaimed tour guide who claims he was brought here for my benefit. But we both know his claims are false, donât we? Tylwyth smiles piously, looking up at the sky with a twinkle in her eye. The sky is actually considered unholy land in Gypsumish faith, but I can correct her on that later. Tylwyth: Youâre the only one whoâs meant to guide me. So, trapped beneath the heel of this false idol, I ask of thee but one thing: can you just fucking smite that guy for me?â
Okay, interesting lore about Gypsumism aside, âcan you just fucking smite that guy for me?â is fucking hilarious. I love her so deeply already itâs a problem ToT
âAlabaster: ⊠âŠâ
You know itâs bad when even the internal monologue shuts up xp
âTylwyth: That bastard is trying to trap the Voice of the Great Gypsum within this dome under his own command. But you, Father Oswald, are far too important in the Great Gypsumâs grand scheme to remain sidelined for weeks, months, or years on end! Hence, his holiness should endeavor to get you out at any cost, including-but-not-limited-to one puny human life. Is she genuinely deranged, or just trying to get a rise out of me?â
Oh my god sheâs funny. Alabasterâs already losing his fucking mind and weâve been here two minutes xD
âAlabaster: Yes, but thatâs not his modus operandi. The Great Gypsum prefers to let poor decisionmaking run its course, such that the sinner in question can experience the full repercussions of such a choice. Tylwyth: Oh. In that case, heâs kinda not doing anything, is he? Alabaster: ⊠Sheâs definitely attempting to upset me. But itâs nothing to fret over. The Great Gypsum can stand tall through anything.â
Yep. Ragebaiting is basically Tylwythâs whole thing lmao.
âThough Iâve nominally recruited another follower to our ranks, I canât help but feel as if Iâve made negative progress. Tylwythâs attitude was self-evident, but her motivations remain inscrutable. Does she find undercutting others humorous? Or does she derive satisfaction from striking blows at established structures? Either way, Iâd best keep an eye on her, assuming we really are to be confined together within this dome on a more permanent basis. The idea that the Great Gypsum would smite someone is ridiculous. When He manages to enact our expulsion from this place, it will be from the power of His Word alone.â
Welp, that was a fun thing to leave on. Alabaster seems to be very genuine in his devotion, at least, so thatâs great. And Tylwythâs just as big of an asshole as sheâs always been, I love my potentially-baby-stealing queen.
