Zero Escape: VLDR - Beginnings in Disguise

[Nellyfox]

The snake around Chad loosens its grip just enough so he may walk.

[renetear]

Shut up Josh.

[XerxesLeFan]

Oh, seems like you're fine now!!

Sorry, I have my hands full anyway. You'd probably have to kill me to make me let go of Jasmine.

and I have to say, I agree with Chad. Shut up.

[ChubbyMooshroom9]

Not my fault you guys made the poor bastards up there watch.

Of course, though, Chad needs to prove himself.

[XerxesLeFan]

.....They were watching???

[LordofFail]

What, you didn't know they were watching us Akita?

[Schultz128]

The twelve head up the stairs to be met with a circular room, with 12 pods aligned evenly around its perimeter.

In the middle of the room are four figures.

The first is a younger man with short hair, wearing very nice clothes that you'd expect a politician to wear. Their interest seems to be somewhere else, as they're facing the group with his right side.

The second a younger woman in a casual sweater, vest, and dress skirt, with their brown hair flowing down to their shoulders. Hair ties around their wrist indicate they like to mix their hairstyle up a bit.

The third is a younger man with shoulder length black hair, fit with a grey and blue windbreaker. Zyro appears to be sitting on their shoulder.

The fourth is a younger man with hair similar to the third's, but an ashy blonde. He sports a thin but kept beard, Lydia's beret, and a beige trenchcoat with a black shirt underneath. On his belt is a holster with a gun identical to the one Sanaa had, and in his hand is that very same gun. The three birds from before sit on both his shoulders and his head.

The 4th man steps forward to speak.

Congrats, you all turned out better than we did.

[LordofFail]

Ah, you must be the facilitators.

A pleasure to finally meet you.

[ChubbyMooshroom9]

That's because the divine forces in this world are bullshit.

[renetear]

Do you mean to say you 4 went though this bullshit as well?
Wait then those stones with names.... were those gravestones?

[XerxesLeFan]

...which one of you is Raven?

[LordofFail]

That's because the divine forces in this world are bullshit.

Ha!

Divine forces do not exist.

Life is but a fluke, not the will of any greater being.

[TheNiceOne16]

You guys are the reason me and Guardian met. This whole endervor was worth it just for that. So sincerely, thank you.

[Schultz128]

Yeah, gravestones.

There used to be 12 of us too, when our ship crash landed on a place on Earth.

We got put through the same thing, but....well. I killed just about half of them.

So, you see how you guys got the better end to your story.

...which one of you is Raven?

Take a guess, my lesser half.

[ChubbyMooshroom9]

That's because the divine forces in this world are bullshit.

Ha!

Divine forces do not exist.

Life is but a fluke, not the will of any greater being.

We both know that's bullshit.

"Better end". If this is the good end just shoot me right here.

[Nellyfox]

The younger man with black hair perks up at the sound of his name. On his shoulder, Zyro smirks.

[XerxesLeFan]

...Ah. You! Hello!!

Thank you~♪!!!

[ChubbyMooshroom9]

You and Chad should take lessons from them before tainting anything else.

[Schultz128]

.....

Josh, you realize who you are, correct?

[LordofFail]

That's because the divine forces in this world are bullshit.

Ha!

Divine forces do not exist.

Life is but a fluke, not the will of any greater being.

We both know that's bullshit.

"Better end". If this is the good end just shoot me right here.

If you wish to die so badly, do it yourself. I'm not staining my hands to release you of your meaningless existence.

[renetear]

Jeez you killed almost all of them? Why? Why in the hell did you do that?

Shut up Josh.

[Nellyfox]

Raven blushes, quickly turning away and grabbing the edges of his shirt on instinct. Zyro leans forward to block his face.

[ChubbyMooshroom9]

.....

Josh, you realize who you are, correct?

Didn't we have this conversation, like, a bit ago?

I know who I am. Vaguely, at least. Not like it helped at all.

[XerxesLeFan]

♡

Oh, this is gonna be fun.

[Nellyfox]

Dude...
