    Summary

    Aster sighed, putting a hand to his head. He had gotten an answer, he now knew what was so dangerous about this phenomenon. Even if he could never be allowed to look at it, he should’ve been satisfied due to the circumstances.

    But it only opened up thousands of new questions.

    What determines the severity of the mutations? Does one need to view it directly? Is acknowledgement of the entity required for the effects to take hold? How do mutations vary? Are they truly random, or is there a pattern?

    Even if he had a rough start with the group, he planned to stay with the astronomers. He needed to stay. He needed to find answers, even if it destroyed him.

    Curiosity filled every cell of his body, and Aster planned to satiate it by any means necessary.
    ~
    Aster was always driven by his desire to learn, and it haunted him even at the world’s end. One question that haunted him endlessly, however, was how exactly the gaze of The Visitor worked.

    Of course, it inevitably leads him down a horrible, inexplicably bright pink path.

    Summary

    or

    A fic expanding on Chiikawa theories:
    - Food appearing whenever a chiikawa dies
    - Anoko being a chiikawa in the past (minor focus)

    Summary

    With a second chance he never could've expected, he realizes they need to act quickly to protect both the people in their apartment building and outside it.

    He can't mess up. Not again. Not with every person in the world counting on him.

    Summary

    [Video Log – FILE: KE-0001 | Initiated at 15:43 Local Time, Caligo]
    [Footage begins. A soft static whirring, faint mechanical clicks, and ambient room buzz.]
    [CAMERA ON.]
    Click.

    A faint mechanical whirr. A slight stutter of static. Then, the feed kicks in—blurry at first, then clearer. The frame jitters with movement.
    “Is it on?”
    Tap. Tap.
    “Did it work? Hello? Hellooo—oh! Oh, it’s working!”
    A young, excited voice, tinged with mechanical undertones: subtle clicks and low shutter-whirrs riding beneath every syllable. The view swings wildly before settling on a dim interior—homey, metal-paneled walls, a low-hanging vine of bioluminescent Protector Root glowing faintly in the corner.
    “Keph? Is everything alright?” his mother called from somewhere off-screen, her tone edged with worry—a sharp contrast to the sheer delight blooming in Keph’s chest.
    He could feel the new system stirring to life within him.
    ---
    Explore the whirring life of Caligo, the maze-like floors of Babel, noisy school halls, and unique holidays through the eyes of a young Shutterbug and his brand new IRIS system.

    Summary

    Dan never got out much. He was a less than average man who streamed as a job and rarely left his post. Day in and day out, he’d give into the safety net and ignore the outside world and its demands. But now, he’s thrust into the real world where he’s forced to find the true meaning to life outside the views of social media.

    Lyle never got out much. He was a less than average man who worked a job and mainly focused on his hobby. For years, he’d give into his urges for comfort and reasons to keep living. But now, he’s thrust into a horrifying reality where consequences finally arise so now there’s much more to hide and even more to atone for.

    What should’ve been two grueling weeks where the two should hold nothing but disdain or amusement for each other isn’t so. A chain reaction of events forces the two to work together for better and worse and ultimately changes the outcome of the whole group’s trials and tribulations.
