For The Incident, Scar became a lot more reserved with his actions and now tries to attract as little attention as possible. Grian is much more closed off than he used to be, and the only one who’s managed to get past the barriers he’s put up is Gem.

Information about hidden features and cool visuals!! Yippeee!!

Sadly I don’t have a lot of colored pencil colors, so the purple on Grian’s eyes/face and Impulse’s wings doesn’t look right. Grian’s eyes aren’t too important since I’ve written down that they’re purple (same purples as on his file post), but the veins on Impulse’s wings and the spikes look super off. They’re the same purple as his veins on his file post.

What if Grian was hit by Scar instead of Skizz?

What if Ren looked at the camera instead of Martyn and he found out?

What if Cub saved Scar from being taken?

What if Lizzie was taken before Joel?

What if Gem had Grian's powers?

What if Pearl could fly out of the labs?

What if Etho gave Joel his hammer, saying he doesn't want to use it anymore?

What if Bdubs saw Cleo as a mother figure and wishes she could comfort him again?

What if Tango accidently caused a fire with his super speed?

What if Cleo could get Skizz and Mumbo to free the others?

What if Mumbo got a power?

What if Scar could break through the glass?

What if Impulse could visit Bdubs in their dreams?

What if Sausage found clues of Cubs work?

What if Joel had an argument with Etho after a particularly bad day?

What if Big B was allowed one free day to move wherever he wanted?

What if Jimmy was stuck being invisible?

What if Scott could turn into inanimate objects?

What if Skizz could speak to Impulse?

What if Martyn had a sonic scream instead of hearing?

WOW that’s a lot!! :DDD

1.) Oh, Skizz wasn’t hit by Scar. Skizz died during the scientists’ experiments on him.

2.) Assuming you mean if Martyn would have been taken regardless if he noticed his picture being taken, he would’ve been absolutely furious. Honestly? Might have caused a causality. He would rather be completely alone in the facility than have to suffer alongside Ren.

3.) Cub would have tried way harder to report Ex to the head of Lacuna Labs and the police. He hadn’t realized how serious Ex was, and he’d be damned if his efforts to protect his brother went to waste.

4.) Joel would’ve been just as worried as Lizzie was about him. Maybe he would’ve filed a missing persons report sooner.

5.) I don’t think things would change too much since Gem and Grian are in the same cell.

6.) If you mean if she could fly but was still captive, she’d feel waaay less claustrophobic and less like she was losing her mind. If you mean if she could fly and escape, she might not ever come back. What would people say if she approaches them, maniples and antennae and wings?

7.) Sadly, no one else can use the mace. It dematerializes when other people try to wield it (unless it’s Grian and he’s copying Etho’s power).

8.) Awww.. They certainly grew close in the short time they shared a cell.

9.) Luckily there are fire extinguishers and other items that are readily available to prevent major damage. And it would probably have happened during a test, so Tango would get no punishment or anything since they were testing the limits of his speed.

10.) Then she 100% would. If she could summon them past the walls of her cell, she would have gotten herself and as many people out of the facility as she could.

11.) He actually did before he died!

12.) Oh, he can. Scar is just too afraid of his own strength to utilize it.

13.) I’m not sure. I haven’t put any thought into if Impulse and Bdubs would have much of a relationship in this AU.

14.) Then he’d do everything he could to meet up with Cub and figure out where Pearl went. They’d work together with the others to figure out where they are.

15.) They’d stay pretty quiet, but they wouldn’t stay mad at each other for long. At the end of the day, they both know that the other isn’t actually mad at them.

16.) He would take as much advantage of it as he could. He’d take out security cameras as subtly as possible and hope the others figured out what he’d done.

17.) Oh, he would be so much worse mentally than he currently is. He’s constantly holding onto Lizzie or the thin blanket from his bed so that he can see that he’s touching something—so that he can see that he’s still there.

18.) He probably would have escaped a lot sooner.

19.) If Imoulse could hear him, then Skizz would let him know anything and everything that he saw. He’d let him know the perfect time to make a move, the fastest route to escape, all that jazz. And if they had to wait a while for an escape opportunity, then Skizz is feeding him words of encouragement and urging him to home on just a little bit longer.

“Where are you?”

“I’m so sorry…”

———————————

I had so much fun drawing this, you have no idea!

OHHHHH IT’S THE BOYS

OHHHH MY HEART

THIS IS SO GOOD, THANK YOU SO MUCH

I need to write more for my own sanity.

Is Lizzie sensetive to light, since her powers are, well the opposite of light? Can she see in the dark?

If Scott can shape-shifting into any animal why hasn't he turned into something really small, like a bug of some sort and manage to escape? Is something or someone keeping him there?

We've established Cleo tries to drown everything out with anger but I would assume she gets lonely, along with the others who are separated?

Does Jimmy's powers ever get out of his control and cause him to turn invisible resulting in a lot of panic and frantic reassurance from Lizzie?

Are the subjects with lower threat ratings genuinely weaker and can do less or are they simply more docile and could certainly mess people up if they weren't so scared?

I love it when people ask questions like this. :)

1.) I never thought of that before! I really need to make myself think about everyone’s powers and how to extend them and make them more interesting. Yes, those are both absolutely a thing now.

2.) Scott can only transform into a handful of creature successfully, and he has to touch them before being able to transform. I think he might also stay regardless because there’s nothing outside of the facility for him.

3.) She does, and so do the others. Cleo will summon Skizz and Mumbo, but it doesn’t do much to help comfort her. Impulse thinks about Skizz a lot, and BigB will sometimes grow vines and branches in the shape of people.

4.) Yes. Sometimes when he’s really anxious or having a panic attack, he’ll go invisible, and that only makes things worse. Lizzie is able to help 9/10 times though.

Joel doesn't like Scott because Scott is Mr. Optimistic

Even though his powers are subdued, Tango has extremely quick reflexes

Scar avoids any physical touch with Pearl or any other patients

Grian wakes up Gem before the scientists do to avoid her getting hurt

Etho is weirdly cold, a side effect of being part snow fox, so Joel gives him all the blankets

Skizz, in zombie form, recognizes impulse, but can't act upon it

Impulse's comfort person is Bdubs, but he is rarely brought in

Both Scott and Grian have an odd ability to sense Jimmy when he is invisible

If a comfort person is unavailable, they bring in Lizzie to threaten/calm down a patient

Jimmy has severe monophobia and Lizzie tries her best to help him

So excited for the next chapter! Can't wait to read it! ❤️

HELL YEAHHHH!!! I’m excited, about to go through these. XD

1.) Interesting take. Scott is absolutely not optimistic thought, haha. I think Joel might actually be one of the most optimistic subjects? He’s at least one of the most determined ones.

2.) Oooooh, maybe that could be canon. Maybe he really is just that fast. I’ll consider it. I know he’s still pretty hungry all the time despite the collar and cuffs.

3.) YUP! That’s SOOOOO canon. :)

4.) Awww! He absolutely would whenever he catches it.

5.) NDKEHDOEGDISB STOOOOOP HE SO WOULD DO THAT!!!!

6.) If zombie Skizz would ever come into contact with Imoulse, that would be 100% right.

7.) Idk honestly. I haven’t really paid too much attention to Bdubs and Impulse interacting in general aside from the Third Life betrayal and them being soulmates in Double Life. It’s not a bad idea, I just have to be sold on it.

8.) You know what? Sure. That’s canon now simply because I like it. :)

9.) Explain it to me. Why Lizzie specifically?

Grian: Whos power do you like having the most / wish you could use?

Scott: Would you rather have rens power instead?

Pearl: If you had to chose a animals features to have would you still choose moth?

Martyn: Whos power would you trade for / is there any upside to your power?

Scar: Do you blame Cub for you getting chosen?

Cleo: Do you feel like Skizz ans Mumbo are alive when you summon them or just husks of people?

Joel: What would you do to be put in the same cell as Lizzie?

Bdubs: Is your power annoying having to sleep all the time?

Ren: Is there anyone you want to shapeshift to

Tango: Is your power easy to control?

Impulse: If you ended up somehow having the chance to escape, but left everyone else behind, would you?

Skizz: what do you wish your power would’ve been?

Gem: whos the most fun to visit while astro projecting?

Bigb: Who would you want as a cellmate?

Mumbo: Do you blame Scar for killing you? / are you mad at him

Lizzie: Do you find your power frightening?

Jimmy: Are you happy your experiments caused no physical side effects?

Hope these made sense!

How do each of them feel about the current deaths?

And which one would you say is the most confident they will escape, if any still think that? 🎃

I’m honestly not sure how to make the subjects answer these if that’s what you’re saying. I can answer them as myself, but I’ve been debating for a bit how to have someone a see these, and I’m just stumped.

(Unless you mean asking the subjects questions in general. If that’s the case, yes, you can.)

Everyone is generally sad and/or disturbed about the deaths. So far Skizz’s death has impacted Impulse the most, and Mumbo’s death has impacted Grian and Scar the most.
