PT. 1: Before the Story
-Button (Zapper #27) is one of the many TV remotes owned by the Dreemurr family. When Asriel and Kris were growing up, they were used more as a prop for various games on top of security guard make-believe.
-During one of their games, Button got lost in the couch. This caused them to experience something not unlike derealization in the dark world, which caused a major shift in their perspective.
-Someone mentioned the remote Susie pulls out of the couch. That's Button now. Don't ask how they never met it's fine.
-After the lightners left, Button decided to go to the Dark Sanctuary to see its Prophecy. Unfortunately, their Prophecy says that despite everything, they will never amount to anything more than an ordinary zapper, relegated to the background.
-They happen across a hallway of more Prophecy panes, all of which simply say the word "UNLESS". The glass spans for countless paces, and Button decides that must mean the Prophecy is mocking it, so it heads back home.
PT. 2: Early Days
-Button heads back to work as usual. They begin their time as ⚡🔘 anon so that the other zappers don't know who they are, since it seems security is lacking and various Spamtons continually enter the studio.
-During a particularly bad breakdown their boss @ask-tenna was having, Button decides to give him some space and starts taking asks themself.
-Button begins officially considering their name to be "Button".
-Button helps clean up both literally and legally regarding what can only be described as "the pipe bomb incident".
-A tasque makes its way to the studio and periodically hangs out with Button.
-Button starts talking to @ask-lanino-and-elnina, and in turn, they trust Button with an egg.
-Button is regularly haunted by @maliceanon, previously known as Heavenly.
-Button meets @december-knight and gives her some TV Dinners. She initially scares the crap out of them, but they work it out.
-There's some kind of dinosaur incident and @who-is-mike Pluey (probably) takes care of it.
-Button ends up on egg-sitting duty again, receives some rocks, a plant, a visit from @local-pipis, and an egg from @not-too-unimportant
-Button receives their one and only M!A which stretches them for five asks. They collaborate with Addisons and use their previous security clearance to avoid more M!As in the future.
PT. 3a: The Actualization Arc
-Maliceanon continues haunting Button, and while it is trying to care for the new egg from Elnina and Lanino, Maliceanon hits Button in the head with a giant book and gets sent to the medical bay in the studio. Tenna stops by to check on them.
-It just so happens that @13-unlucky-pippins ends up in the infirmary at the same time as Button from a bullet wound.
-The mysterious cane shadowguy anon makes an appearance. Who are you and what do you want from me /silly
-Tenna's show gets put on hiatus for reasons beyond Button's awareness.
-Button has an oddly familiar dream as a result of their injuries and recovery regarding their sense of self, worth, and conflicting feelings about their role and the roles of others.
-Button's dream sends them into a heightened state, they experience panic attack-like symptoms, and eventually decide to meet up with an old friend to discuss some of their issues.
-Button is asked by @ask-the-chaoschaos to please let him know when Tenna comes back.
-Maliceanon starts taunting Button about the dream they had.
-Button reschedules their hangout with their friend to be sooner.
-Button gets a free sample from @the-lavender-salesman to help with the stress of the hiatus and recurring panic attacks.
-Button has another panic attack, and reveals that their memory from before the blog is a bit fuzzy.
-Tenna comes out of his room, but Button decides against investigating.
-Button gets a surprise visit from @shadowguy-friday while they're in the middle of busywork despite the hiatus. Friday shows up with a plate of cookies from his friend Chip with the intention of seeing what's been wrong with Button lately. It just so happens that as he walks in the door, Tenna calls Button with the intention of also stopping by for comfort after hiding away for a few days.
-Tenna, Button, and Friday have a hangout. It starts out super awkward because Friday thinks Tenna is mad at him, Tenna thinks Button and Friday are mad at him, and Button has literally never had guests over before and does not know either of them well enough to know exactly how to comfort them and ends up almost fumbling the whole interaction.
-Eventually, everyone sort of opens up and everyone feels a little better and closer by the end. Suggestions to hang out again are made.
-Button gets a delivery from @mr-ant-tennas-kitchen-crew, delivered by a very glittery purple pippins named Dieci.
-Button goes back to Cyber City to hang out with Cassia, their Addison friend. They talk for several hours about various things, until eventually the Prophecy comes up. Cassia upsets Button and eventually causes them to petrify.
-Cassia starts feeling strange sensations which manifest as messages on her screen. (@ask-cassiaaddison)
-Maliceanon brings Button's body back to the studio after Tenna's fight with @its-just-showbiz's fell!Tenna. After coming back to, Button, a few zappers, and a pippins work to bring their boss inside. They tell Jevil to stay by Tenna's side during repairs.
-Conro the giant shadowguy eating video game controller spider (@probably-underyourfurniture) brings Button a friendship bracelet! How cute! And not at all threatening!
-Button decides to go home after talking to Maliceanon, the knight, and Conro. They make it back to their apartment, get overwhelmed, and break one of the teacups Cassia gifted them by mistake.
-Button gains adoration in the form of a church, @church-of-powerbutton. This makes Cassia a little jealous on her blog and Button VERY worried.
-Button goes outside to calm down from a panic attack and finds a strange piece of glass in the snow. It follows some footprints back to an apartment building, and Maliceanon follows close behind. Button finds Chip and returns the glass to him.
-Button has auditory hallucinations of their rhapsotea music, which sounds like the freedom motif.
-It turns out Chip found a part of Friday's Prophecy which says that if neither of them confess their feelings for the other, Friday's voice will give out forever, a fate worse than death to many shadowguys. Chip broke the glass and smuggled it all home so Friday wouldn't see it.
-Button offers to help him ask Friday out by dragging the two of them to Kitchen County for pastries. In return, Chip teaches Button how to repair ceramics.
-Button meets @giovanni-the-shadowguy and they play music terribly together.
-Button meets @purple-pippins-askblog and learns about the Pippins mafia. Button isn't too sure what their goal is and can't find any specific information regarding it beyond Purple's participance.
PT. 3b: Kitchen County
-Button, Friday, and Chip make their way to Kitchen County, a part of TV World which is almost entirely its own dark world, but still relies on the fountain in the living room.
-The trio first meets Rex, a small, toy zapper who can stretch and bounce. He drives the bus to and from Kitchen County to deliver TV Dinners and the like. After a horribly bumpy ride, she falls down one of the purple cliffs, demonstrating their stretching ability.
-Button experiences intrusive thoughts regarding hurting Chip and copes by instead giving him a cool pebble.
-They reach Kitchen county and part ways with Rex. They walk into Pippin Dots, the store Dieci runs, only to find that she and another shadowguy, Romnie, are already in a fight. Button and Friday elect to not resort to battling, but Chip seems ready to throw some punches. The other two talk him out of it.
-Dieci's head goes flying out a window and Button returns it to her body. Romnie exits the scene after cursing with Friday for a second.
-Dieci serves up some Pippin Dots to the gang. She and Button go upstairs to hang out while Friday and Chip have a moment alone.
-Button uncovers the frozen and unconscious body of Giovanni in the freezer, and, after attempting to free him from his giant ice cube, the sugar floor gives way below them and Dieci, landing on and stunning Chip. He's a bit zoned out for the rest of the visit.
-Giovanni finally thaws out and he sounds like... an accordion? Seems like we've got another shadowguy who's hiding his music in our midst.
-Dieci leaves the four of them in the storefront area to avoid any more awkwardness, since she's the one who put Gio in the freezer in the first place. Button helps Gio out of the store and Friday tenderly picks Chip up, who is now fast asleep, to do the same.
-On their way back to the bus stop, Button mentions to Gio and Friday that if either of them every need anything to please tell it. Giovanni thinks about it, and Friday attempts to ask for reassurance that Chip will love him back despite everything, but the words don't come out. Button tells him that he's capable of more than he believes.
-Friday sings a song and Button tells him that he should play it for Chip someday. They comment that it feels like being with whoever you call home. Friday takes the comment to heart, and, funnily enough, Button does too.
PT. 3c: The Actualization Finale
-Button goes back to TV World and immediately books it to Cyber City, where Cassia is thinking about her past and what it means for her future, as well as how she could ever possibly make up with Button.
-Button happens to show up while she's thinking. They have a long talk about the Prophecy, and how the differences between how they view the Prophecy, their own fates, and mental health impact how they each feel. Button has mostly mixed and negative feelings due to their experiences, while Cassia's are much more positive, because it provided her with so much hope and stability. They agree to disagree and become closer than ever. Button repairs the teacup they dropped.
PT. 4a: Is Where the Heart Is/Be Still My Beating Heart
-Dieci makes another surprise delivery, this time as an apology for scamming them with ice cream. She offers them knitted clothes and some real cookie dough ice cream infused with... something. Button doesn't eat the ice cream but they take the clothes.
-Button stumbles across the church building, inside which only houses @reverb-shadowguy. They talk for a little bit, but it seems neither of them know much about the place.
-New hire @shadowguy729 asks for directions around the studio. Button shows Behop around.
-Purple gets banged up pretty bad with rocks and the mafia trio @ask-the-pippinses asks for directions to the medical bay.
-Button gets dropped into a bottomless pit, and to pass the time, discusses things like the make-believe Kris and Asriel used to play with them, the fact that Chip breaking a part of the Prophecy doesn't make it go away, and listens to an anon talk about a world in which monsters and humans went to war, and when humanity won, they sealed monsters underground. Thank goodness that last one was just a story.
-Button hears about a certain pippins who seems to have lost himself. They make note to figure out who that is.
-Behop offers Button some cookies. Button begins sharing the extras around with their friends, including a new friend, @reuben-the-pippins. It hints to Reuben that they think he would also get along with Chip and Friday.

-Purple comes back to let Button know they've recovered.
PT. 4b: Star Light Star Bright (Introduction)
-Button goes outside to calm down from a panic attack, suffering from a bell-induced migraine. They find a path of footprints and a piece of ceramic on the ground. Chip is hurt and wandering around aimlessly in the snow. Button drags him back to his apartment and shouts into every shadow they see to get Friday's attention.
-Once Button gathers all of Chip's pieces, they find the ceramic repair kit and attempt to start repairing him. Friday shows up and immediately blames himself for the situation.
-Button convinces Friday to be honest about his feelings, and Friday plays some of the most beautiful music Button or Chip have ever heard him play. Button manages to repair Chip.
-Chip notices that Friday's wearing the scarf he would have made for him... he realizes that he has been transported to an alternate timeline, and Button has to explain to Friday what magic!anons are.
-Chip hugs Friday as he turns to stone. Friday enters a state of panic, but Button manages to calm him down and promises to do whatever it takes to bring Chip home. Friday falls asleep from exhaustion, and Button tucks him in and tidies up the apartment. Button sleeps on the floor.
-Button leaves early in the morning for a treat break. Behop happens to be there, and invites them to their apartment to do some science regarding alternate timelines and universes. Button decides to extend the offer to Friday when he gets up.
-Button returns to the apartment to see Friday is still asleep. They decide to go back to bed, as well.
-Friday wakes Button up to let it know he'll be heading to Cyber City. Button doesn't have it in them to admit that they're the reason Cassia sent the letter he got, and puts their entire being into hiding it from Friday. This certainly will not have consequences.
-Button gives Friday pretty much their entire wallet and says "don't worry about it" like that's a normal thing normal people do.
-Button lets Friday know that they need to meet back up later with Behop to discuss their findings. Friday practically begs Button to keep him updated before they part ways. Button promises They hug it out, and in a moment of vulnerability, Friday does the classic cat head bump. He's immediately embarrassed though, so he flees into the shadows before Button can even say or do anything.
-Button takes a moment to air out their frustrations surrounding Friday's lack of communication. They wish they could say it to his face just how worried they are, but its also worried that bringing it to Friday's attention without thinking about how to go about it may make him feel worse. Talking to the empty apartment does the trick for the moment, and it makes its way to Castle Town.
-Kidney seller anon shows up and asks for Button's batteries. They tell him they have spares at home. KSA steals them, but there's no charge. They explode one with lightning but manage to recharge the other.
-Narrator reveals sentience and claims to be able to control when/how they communicate with Button, but refuses to answer asks.
-Button doesn't find much just yet about the cliffs. They send Friday a few texts anyway.
PT. 4c: Deal Gone Wrong
-A mysterious person contacts Button regarding Friday in a threatening and cruel manner. Button accidentally says too much about Friday's whereabouts not knowing their full intentions, and now has to reach Cassia's apartment before they get to Cassia and Friday first.
-Button arrives at the apartment, only to find that the mystery person, an Addison named Vestal, has already beaten Button there. A fight gets initiated, and Vestal forces Friday to turn on his friends. (Link is to Button's first appearance, full RP will be linked at the end when it is complete.)
-Cassia teaches herself a new spell (branched spell from Heartstrings into Heartstrings Major/Minor.)
-Vestal uses his Tuning Whistle to take control over Friday in battle. It seems Friday is still conscious underneath.
-Vestal reveals one of his spells which can call upon M!As. One appears mid battle which causes Friday to become stronger.
-After some fighting, Cassia manages to retrieve Vestal's whistle while he's distracted trying to get Friday to attack. Button destroys the whistle and Vestal begins glitching out. Friday returns to Button and Cassia's side.
-Cassia starts to lose her ability to keep her focus, and Friday uses Harmonic Duet to try to help. They perform together and it's glorious.
-Button takes a shot at Vestal's head while he's overclocking and breaks his earpiece. Then, while he's freaking out more, Button uses Power Off.
-Button and Cassia bring Friday to the couch after the fight has ended to comfort him. The M!A spell Vestal used wears off. Cassia hands him his scarf, which now sports a massive tear. Friday begins to petrify.
