Home Game -- "You will feel a mild tingling sensation, followed by death."

[theun4givables]

So I was heavily inspired by the above Idol topic for this piece -- and even intended to use it, if I got back into the main game. But I didn't, and the piece is now finished.

Dedicated to n3m3sis43 because Devin bb is my favorite and that's why I torment him the most. Combining our trilogies was perhaps the best decision we've made together as friends

SWEET. DREAMS. Like that phrase didn't already have enough ow attached to it.

Ow ow ow ow. I'm going to have to try and come back later and make a coherent comment because mY BBSSSSSS I'm dying. New headcanon is that Devin can't make himself shower off Jazz's blood right away because it's all he has left of him.

*loud sobbing*

I am super excited to be your partner 5ever too. ilu. <3

[theun4givables]

Yeah as soon as I heard him say, "Sweet dreams," just before I wrote it I was so done with the fucking world and needed to walk away. Like what the fuck, Devin. Couldn't you have said ANYTHING else? Jesus fucking Christ.

Oh god see i wanted to write Devin making it home with Jazz still on his back (like hell would he leave the man's goddamn body behind) and him unable to wash anything -- the car, himself, etc. And Wes just *knowing* before Devin even made it home what had happened because of their bond and him just being ready to do anything to comfort him and none of it working and I couldn't. I couldn't do it. It was too much.

There is no way he'd leave Jazz's body. Assuming he didn't get arrested for wandering around the desert with a body on his back (wait, he has his car with him, right?) he'd end up at home with dead!Jazz and yeah, if Wes was done with whatever super important thing Wes had going on that made him unavailable to Adept, he'd already know and ughhhhh.

Devin having to tell Savin, too. My heart.

[theun4givables]

He has his car with him, yeah. He just has to get Jazz from their hiding spot to his car. And Wes would know. And I can't with just how long Devin would go without showering Jazz's blood off of him.

Ughhhh I can't even think that far into it all. Because Savin probably already knows. Jazz probably makes it a habit to contact Savin before and after *every* meeting with the Resistance just to tell him he's safe and when Jazz doesn't contact him after this one...

Fuck why do I do this to myself.

I was hanging on the hope that Jazz would survive in the end...you broke my heart..:/..I enjoyed the discussion in the comments though...interesting turn of events to follow , I am hoping :)

[theun4givables]

Yeah, um... Jazz surviving was never supposed to be a thing. It's just by a small miracle that my books no longer contain his death (his death is in Sarah's story).

We'll see if I write the events after this particular chapter, but... I don't think I can handle with the emotional fall out after Jazz's death. xD

Thank you for stopping by. :)

[eternal_ot]

Ohh... I have been reading from the last season..so was clueless about Sarah's interpretation. Hope you change your mind..;) There are too many loose ends to tie, I guess..:)
It's a great read.

[theun4givables]

Thank you. <3

Since the last season I've really managed to figure out what the story is -- and I've also combined it with n3m3sis43's Cliffton 'verse. It solidified both of our stories and made them more stable.

I'm actually working on a draft of the first book -- the overall plots of all three have remained mostly the same, but the end point is a little different. Jazz's death isn't relevant to my part of the story (which is this: Jazz proves himself as Emperor. Jazz loses himself to the role of Emperor. Jazz finds himself again.).

So don't worry, I won't be letting any loose ends get through. ;) It's just that so much of the story really has changed in the past year or so. I'm really happy with how it's progressing now and how all of the characters seem to have finally come into their own.

[alien_writings]

Noooooo, Jazz! ;_;

No chance he survives in any reality, is there? D:

May I ask what Adepts are? What's Depletion, besides something that sounds utterly horrible?

[theun4givables]

Noooo, Jazz, is right. Poor bb. He kind of brought it on himself, though. He should've listened to Devin... (there are a lot of times he should've listened to Devin).

Well, this is still his reality -- it's just the version of his reality that's tied to Devin's reality. ;) And no, we soon realized that he wouldn't die in my books but that he would die in hers, so... siiiiigh.

[alien_writings]

The reality keeps shifting, and it doesn't seem to ever get happier. :/

Still, I am curious what Adepts and Depletion are, if you (or n3m3sis43 lol) are allowed to say. I am confused and want to know just what's going on, though also sad because Jazz never lives. (Does he ever get to live in any dimension?)

[n3m3sis43]

I'm still working on a lot of the conceptual stuff for the Manips and the whole system they're a part of. So at least for the moment, I'm not comfortable sharing a lot of details about how everything fits together.

[theun4givables]

It kind of does but Cliffton 'verse is worse for that. xD

[n3m3sis43]

Good move, combining my 'verse with yours, then. xD

[theun4givables]

I knowwww. xD Oh well...
