You feel trapped. You try to claw your way out, but you do not have claws. You do not have anything. What would you even be clawing out from? It hurts. You struggle.

"Woah, woah, calm down! Try to relax! I know it hurts, but it'll get worse if you keep moving like that. Your core isn't exactly the peak of durability."

You heed his advice.

Is it lazy because it's just "bat" spelled backwards? Yes, it is.

F... f... Fraxure, or Frax for short. She's fractured down the middle, and so is our view.

Naming her after soda, the nearest thing available? I mean, you do you, but that's clearly something in lemon-lime.

Oh yeah, I got plenty of those. Most of them aren't even steeped in snark and bitterness because a brain is filled only with damaged thoughts when a damaged body is filled only with pain.

What just happened, and why? What is a core? Where are we? Have you done this before? Is that fix you just did permanent? Do I have a soul, or was I born without the original sin?

You can walk, too.

"Okay, so, continue?"

>"Why did you make me?"

"Because I needed a friend.



God, that sounds way worse out loud."

He mutters something under his breath, but not loudly enough for you to hear.

>"What am I?"

"You're a beast. Like me. Artificial people, to put it simply."

>"What's a core?"

"Prohibitively expensive is what a core is..." He mutters.
"No, but seriously, a core is basically a big, condensed ball of a whole bunch of stuff called force. You could think of it as a big battery.

As for force, it's this like, pseudo-liquid with a bunch of weird properties; it's the same stuff as all of that blue stuff downstairs, A.K.A your blood. Humans can apparently use it to do a whole bunch of stuff, but beasts like us need cores to do even the most basic stuff with it, since beasts are already basically living, talking cores."

"Oh, something I should have said earlier, now that I think about it. Your Core Word, whatever you chose for that, is really important. Aside from literally being the concept your soul is built on, it gives you superpowers! Ooooh. Really, they're usually kinda boring, but sometimes they're cool. I'm not gonna ask you what your Core Word is, but keep it in mind and try to figure out what you can do."

>"What's with this...tear in reality? It goes wherever I look."

"Oh, haha, yep, Burdens will do that to you. Yes, it's annoying as fuck. Try not to let bad things happen to you."



"Uh, if you can avoid it," he adds quickly.

>"Where are we?"

"Brightside! Also known as 'At least we're not Badside!' Seriously, it sucks here. I need to move."

>"Any chance I could get some clothes?"

"See, I'd say 'Sure!' but I'm broke. Past broke, actually."

>"Can you turn your head 45 degrees to the right?"

"Um. Sure?"

we're a bat named Ozzy, we're a topologically impossible Ouroboros. Is there a big, singular German franken-word for that? What about having multiple personalities or being able to think multiple thoughts concurrently?

Another question, is it legal or accepted for beasts to make more beasts? Oh hey, that sounds way worse out loud too! But seriously, what's the pecking order and legal situation like out there?

So my purpose is to be your friend and we are currently financially broken. What's the plan? What are our options for work?

Since you are also an artificial beast, who made you? For what purpose?
You must have chose you form. What was your thinking process?
Did I made a mistake picking wings instead of hands?


>>954375
Ouroboros sound like a fine word to structure our soul around. It imply eternity, power and repetition. Maybe we will be fated to Sisyphean tasks, but at least we will have something of value.


>>954376
Well noticed. Clyde seemed to have made some form of personal sacrifice for our sake.
Are you sure you don't want a girlfriend?
>>
No. 954379 ID: 2aa5f0

Ask why he's hurt.

Also the both of you should probably try and clean yourselves up because you are kind getting blood everywhere and it probably won't help if he starts bleeding on everything as well.

Speaking of blood... we should maybe try and clean up a little after you clean yourself before the blood dries and becomes a real pain in the ass to get rid of.

Oh and now that we exist... now what? Did Clyde make you just to play video games together or... what? If so dibs on player 1.

Ozzy Ozbourne famously bit the head off a bat. We are a bat named Ozzy, and a being that consumes itself is called ouroboros. however, biting one's own head off is not geometrically possible. ergo, topologically impossible ouroboros.

It's all moot though, for some reason I didn't put it together that he was talking about Remanent.
