   Summary

   He looks at the jagged piece that is now in his hand and back to his chained leg.

   He knows there no other way, he is willing to sacrifice for freedom.

   ———
   In other words, the chosen one escapes way before than the canon one

   Summary

   "'Pencil'?" Mitsi asked. "Like the animation tool?" That couldn't be right. The pencil, her late husband's pencil, was right here in the CEO's office. There was no way, unless...

   "He's a hollow head, ma'am."

    

    

   Like the Chosen One.

    

    

    

   Like Vic.

   Mitsi, crusading widow and one of the most powerful beings in the Outernet (metaphorically speaking), finally captures the great evil that is the so-called "Chosen One" after a long and arduous manhunt.

   Unfortunately, her hired guns/friends also detain a young adult found fighting alongside him. And the young man is... friends(!?) with the Chosen One! That can't be right...

   It's all too obvious to her on what's happening here. This poor, unsupervised minor is being manipulated! Luckily for him, she's all-too-happy to take him under her wing and show him how much of a nasty, vile piece of scum that 'Chosen One' really is, and why he should trust her over him!

   After all, she's great with people! And she knows just how to win him over.

   Summary

   Angel shouldn’t have been looking through their dad’s mail, but when they’d seen the logo of the Playtime Co. factory on the envelope they hadn’t been able to resist. Little did they know that by following the flower of the letter they were gonna get more than they’d bargained for…

   (Or, an alternate reality in which instead of an ex-employee going back to the factory after receiving the letter in Chapter 1, their kid went instead. Loosely inspired by Press Start to Laugh’s “if Player could talk” videos, but with its own storyline)

   A Tight Squeeze: Chapter 1
   Fly in a Web: Chapters 2-6
   Sleep Well: Chapter 7-12
   Safe Haven: Chapters 13-19
   Broken Things: Chapters 20-30
