Then one day, something happens. Some new people have been discovered, just arrived. You go with the crowd just to see what's going on, just out of curiosity.

And you're met with the face of your best friend. Who was stolen away right in front of you and has been missing and presumed dead for multiple years.

He doesn't know how he got here either. You help him get safely out of the structure the new people were all living in, and cautiously show him around. You WERE just here to party, and this is a joyful occasion, but it's a different kind of joy than a mindless dance. What now?

Imagine you're a Player, minding your own business in a singleplayer world. Your wings break in the End and you start falling in the Void, but something happens when you're down there - something familiar, TOO familiar.

You find yourself in a new space, on a new world, with new people, not for the first time. More faces you don't know clamor and push their way in.

And one of them is the face of your best friend. Who you once fought and killed, when his body was possessed, because it was the only way to free him. Who stuck with you through destruction and achievement and everything until even he, a developer, was powerless to stop what was happening, and even then you helped each other.

Qubus Lyme (slicedlime)

AC: JAVATECH ARENA RANK: 70/Q Emblem: Oriented diagonally (SE->NW), an eye looking through a spyglass’s cross-section, with visible lenses in the cross-section. Character artist: @/oddissey (twt) he/him Pre-Fires of Evo, Lyme’s grandmother was a scientist with the Raficon Research Institute; he and his parents lived offworld. Although not a firsthand witness to the cataclysm, offhand discussion of the Ision’s dangers sparked instead a curiosity for the unknown in young Lyme’s mind, thus giving way to an eventual background into xenoenergy research. At the onset of the Ision War, Lyme journeyed to Raficon and joined the RLA, hoping to make his way to Magimount City and uncover what exactly it was that she was working on with the Ision. 

His AC, JAVATECH, is a boxy dark-green-and-gray midweight biped with dual pulse blades and an otherwise unimpressive shield and missile launcher.

Secretly tailing the corporations’ moves, he made his way down Watchpoint Squarhol, his path unimpeded thanks to a certain independent mercenary having previously trashed the Watchpoint’s active defenses.
