quarter trauma
your character sees mine's entire history. what... do...
quarter trauma
i... probably ought to do a small backstory dump, shouldn't i.
quarter trauma
RIS IS HONESTLY THE FASTER ONE TO COVER so we'll do her first
quarter trauma
dr. murderscience cloned one of his patients and made her! then he basically used her as a maid/body cleanup crew for 4-ish years while convincing her she was a doll rather than a person.
quarter trauma
then she moved into camellia academy's infirmary/murderscience lab, where she literally spends almost all of her time. gotta protect that murderscience. also she started actually making friends with other members of the League of Evil! ...and then she started popping into murdergames
quarter trauma
at which point she met and befriended an alternate version of tori even after telling said tori "you do realize i'm supposed to kill my version of you, right," and somehow that catapulted into her making a bunch of other friends
quarter trauma
and if it weren't for the fact that she's still living in the murderscience lab (and being worked much harder than ever before, which is why she shows up super tired sometimes), she'd honestly be doing a lot better.
quarter trauma
...she'll get out of there soon, probably.
quarter trauma
VIBRI THO. ha ha vibri was a cinnamon roll and she did not deserve any of what i put her through
quarter trauma
ANYWAY vibri is not originally from the same universe as ris, even though she's living there right now, but we'll get to that later.
quarter trauma
in her universe, a bunch of people from various planes of reality were Completely Done with the hand life dealt them, got together, and decided to rebel against the Powers That Hold The Damn Universe Together
quarter trauma
and poor Vibri was one of the millions of people that got caught in the crossfire and died. ...and also one of 5 people that the powers that be decided to have fight on their side in the resulting war
quarter trauma
(why them? ...because their fates were also fucked up and they wanted to get their claws in them before the enemy could. did we mention that this is a crapsack world?)
quarter trauma
Vibri, being 15 years old and Pure, more or less jumped at the call and decided to be as magical girl as possible about all of this
quarter trauma
...war is not made for magical girls. A lot of people died, a lot of people got erased, Vibri lost a lot of people she grew to really care about. And then one of their enemies basically went supernova and dragged her into a pocket universe. (spoilers: it was alris)
STEROID CLOWN 🎭
dammit Alris
quarter trauma
Vibri got out because she murdered Alris. But she felt (and still feels) really guilty about it, because damn, her universe's Ris never even had a chance. ...Not like anyone did, but it's the principle of the thing
quarter trauma
EVENTUALLY THE WAR ENDED but not without the group's mentor figure existentially offing himself and one of their teammates going completely off the deep end and skipping off to DESTROY UNIVERSES while hunting down ONE DUDE
quarter trauma
the rest of them were told "...well, okay! your job here is done! we can give you another shot at living if you want"
quarter trauma
some of them took it. Vibri didn't. Because she didn't feel right going back to living a normal life after everything she'd seen, and even if she was a lot more jaded she still felt like it was her duty to protect everything
quarter trauma
...she did, however, use that Come Back To Life token. ...On Ris, because she wanted to give the kid a chance to be happy.
quarter trauma
So Vibri now is still just the soul of a girl who died way too young, who is projecting a body that looks like what she THINKS she'd look like had she actually grown up
quarter trauma
and she's trying her best to multitask raising reborn!Ris and also protecting the multiverse.
STEROID CLOWN 🎭
kay
quarter trauma
...That's not going so well. Right now daughter!Ris is being taken care of by one of her old teammates (who did come back to life) and she's in nexus!Ris' universe trying to keep it from falling apart.
STEROID CLOWN 🎭
why do u hurt ur OCs
quarter trauma
me: i made a cute character!
brain: Hurt Them
me: ...w-why
brain: u gotta
quarter trauma
ALSO THIS IS LIKE HALF RaindrpsOnRoses 'S FAULT!!
Cai
....ima and kashuu want to fight things for them. what is any kind of comfort to a non-sword, they haven't quite gotten that figured out yet
quarter trauma
Vibri's original universe is something she and I have been poking at since like... I was in middle school...?
quarter trauma
ima and kashuu are good sword friends ;A;
Cai
it's all they can really do!! besides, ima's job is to protect so
skelefriend
What is being a sword and not having the reaction of "I will fight things for you"?
quarter trauma
they're still good beans!!
go тo вread
Casper will bring the baseball bat.
skelefriend
Cas can be there in lieu of a sixth sword so they have a full team. : D
go тo вread
:-Db
Byrb
fire? apply fire??? fire.
just lexi.
RE: Ris: Tori wants to kill Varen, but I don't think this is a secret at this point. If anything, getting every little detail will just make her want to murder him more. This is also, more or less, Abby's reaction. Jeb would just do his best to be comforting to Ris and tell her that he's here for her whether she wants it or not.
just lexi.
Tori is horrified by Vibri's past, but sympathetic. Jeb would just apply ALL OF THE COMFORT because he's even more horrified!
quarter trauma
wordbyrd Snowe you can't solve every problem with fire!!
Byrb
OK BUT YOU DONT KNOW WHICH PROBLEMS CANT BE SOLVED WITH FIRE, UNTIL YOU APPLY FIRE FIRST
quarter trauma
jebri is it not a shorter list of people who DON'T want to kill Varen at this point? Also, Vibri would probably kind of shrug off the sympathies.
quarter trauma
"Ha ha it's fine! At least things turned out mostly ok!!

"
quarter trauma
...also a couple more Fun Facts about Ris and Vibri I neglected to share
quarter trauma
Ris mostly got cloned from Yui because Varen's also been using her to figure out how to best treat Yui's various illnesses. Which means he used to regularly make her sick.
quarter trauma
That's not necessarily a thing anymore, half because because of everything Yui's doing a lot better and half because Varen stopped giving a shit about doing his job.
quarter trauma
Vibri tho! There's a reason she keeps telling Asmodai "sorry, I'm off the market," and it's not even because of everything else. Like, that would be a good set of hang-ups on its own but
quarter trauma
Her boyfriend also died back when she did, and she never really moved on. She hasn't really moved on from losing her family, either, but at least in that sense she can use her memories
quarter trauma
to guide how she raises Rise, and that helps. She doesn't know how to do anything similar with her boyfriend, so she just... elects not to. At all.
Byrb
solution: GIRLfriend! (this is a joke)
quarter trauma
ALAS Vibri is like my one character that is actually straight?
quarter trauma
SHE DOES HAVE A HETEROSEXUAL LIFE PARTNER IN RIS' UNIVERSE THOUGH
quarter trauma
all-crits thank fuck for pinkie tbh because she's been so good for vib ;A; thank fuck for her cheeriness and optimism and NORMALNESS
all-crits
Pinkie is always glad to help T_T
all-crits
FRIENDS ARE IMPORTANT OK
just lexi.
when your platonic life partner is a human version of a brightly colored horsey
just lexi.
who has... questionable taste in romantic partners
quarter trauma
look. Pinkie is Pure Vibri will hear no arguments
skelefriend
Hahaha
RaindrpsOnRoses
/regrets nothing, ah ha ha ha
quarter trauma
you're a monster ren ;n; (as if i'm not equally responsible)
quarter trauma
also Byrb re: snowe and fire ALSO ALL OF RIS' PROBLEMS ARE PEOPLE AND YOU OUGHT TO KNOW BURNING BODIES SMELL TERRIBLE
skelefriend
It's true. Both Nikkari and Iwatooshi can confirm this first-hand.
quarter trauma
so can ris. body disposal service and all that
𝚗𝚎𝚖𝚎𝚜𝚒𝚜 𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚢
if the chance ever presents itself, machias would gladly punch dr. murderprick in the face!
𝚗𝚎𝚖𝚎𝚜𝚒𝚜 𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚢
of course he'd probably get hurt in the process, so.
𝚗𝚎𝚖𝚎𝚜𝚒𝚜 𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚢
rean can punch dr. murderprick for him!
quarter trauma
Machias, no. Oniichan, also no.
𝚗𝚎𝚖𝚎𝚜𝚒𝚜 𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚢
he deserves to be punched just a little doesn't he!!
quarter trauma
yes but he shouldn't put himself in harm's way for her sake!! if he gets hurt she will never forgive him!!
Byrb
f.........ire? set doctor on fire?
quarter trauma
NOT YOU EITHER SNOWE
skelefriend
Clearly this is why Iwa should do it. He's sturdier than a human, and strong enough to crush a human skull like a watermelon, probably.
quarter trauma
How about none of you go and attack the murderous reality-bender?! Especially not when he'd find most of you interesting!
quarter trauma
...Not Machias. Machias is boring, though, so he'd probably just kill him and be done with it :|
skelefriend
what if they hire Cthulhu to do it I mean-
just lexi.
Tori's going to do it anyway.
quarter trauma
Ris: Okay, I'll let you help me get out of there. Don't get yourself hurt for me though!!
Tori: I won't!
quarter trauma
Actually Tori: I'M GONNA PUNCH IT
just lexi.
PRETTY MUCH
just lexi.
or at least try to rip it apart from a safe distance
quarter trauma
Ris: YOU HAD ONE JOB!
just lexi.
Tori: HE NEEDS TO DIE
quarter trauma
Y-YEAH WELL. NOT AT YOUR EXPENSE!!
just lexi.
IT'S FINE. IT'LL BE FINE.
quarter trauma
!!!
just lexi.
!!!
quarter trauma
meanwhile vibri's like i'm here for murder
just lexi.
SEE VIBRI GETS HER
skelefriend
Veebs understands.
𝚗𝚎𝚖𝚎𝚜𝚒𝚜 𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚢
he's got a shotgun!! and book smarts! ...that's pretty much all he's got going for him
skelefriend
but no, I actually did bring in Cthulhu for mafing once, so Cthulhu is a legit option
𝚗𝚎𝚖𝚎𝚜𝚒𝚜 𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚢
he's not boring he's just practical! ...which unfortunately doesn't help when you're facing literal reality warpers but that's just plain cheating!!
just lexi.
earn your place as brother-in-law, machias! she'll distract, you shoot the hell out of him!
quarter trauma
well. by "boring" i mean "varen will not at all be interested in dissecting him, he's just a normal human" but tori/casper/swords/etc?
quarter trauma
Cai
Hey he might not be able to realize they're swords until he damages the sword form badly enough???maybe???
quarter trauma
we can hope...
quarter trauma
i still just think it's hilarious that ris' plan is like "ok, let's cause some huge distraction somewhere else so i have to hold down the fort, then someone grab me and aiden and we'll gtfo"
quarter trauma
and everyone else's plan is "KILL THEM."
Byrb
snowes plan is more "APPLY FIRE" and if it dies, then thats just a nice coincidence
Byrb
you see, fire is at the very LEAST distracting
quarter trauma
...ok, maybe she'll be slightly less at snowe
quarter trauma
...no tho jebri if Tori gets hurt in any of that then Jeb is going to have more than just Ris to patch up when they get back, because Ris is just going to refuse to talk to her for a bit
just lexi.
WELP
quarter trauma
all I can think is just Jeb like (DEEP INTERNAL SIGH, PUTS ON NO FIGHTING GLOVES)
just lexi.
quarter trauma
he is Ready
RaindrpsOnRoses
D'aww, Jeb. <3
skelefriend
Jeb is a good
𝚗𝚎𝚖𝚎𝚜𝚒𝚜 𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚢
on second thought machias is very content with being just boring
quarter trauma
wheezes. no, really
