Chapter Text
Background!!! Verdant
Verdant was a green candy person... their creator can talk to them somehow, though no one knows how. Their world was scrapped long after he was already a set character in his own story. He stood in his unfinished world, staring up at the voice talking to him.
"Hey yo... so, sorry for the not done world... but uh. What do you uh.. want your name to be?" Said the underwhelmingly casual voice.
"... i... don't know?" Verdant really wasn't sure, at all. But, He wasn't known as Verdant just yet.
"... i'll just call you green guy, k?" The voice called out again.
. . .
There it was, the start to his existence. Green guy, a random seventeen year old, meant to be in Highschool, instead left with memories he couldn't claim as his own, but instead the story he was meant to live. He couldn't recall all that much, his father was a blue-ish color, his mother a greener color.. genes didn't really exist there either.
Due to the lack of information about the literal place he was made in, he was clueless.
Only making everything more confusing, the creator person had put him in a weird... yellowy-white place??? He didn't get it...
Slowly, he realized he could actually make things. And do things...
He spawned in a couch. Wow, so.. interesting i guess?
Then a tv
Then a table
Then a bunch of clothes he probably wouldn't wear...
Then... a portal. He peeked through, seeing a whole entire different universe. Oh wow...
He didn't want to mess with that so soon. Because of his new discoveries, there was so much to do! And so little time... not really, he has all the time in the world.
As time went on, he found out he could also shape shift, like super hot candy getting molded... but it took a LOT of energy, so he couldn't play around with it much. When he did however, he had a lot of fun.
. . .
As time went on, he thought he was fine all by himself, sure it was pretty lonely... but thats okay! Thats what he thought, often. Sometimes when watching random shows broadcasted from a solar system in a whole different universe, he would mutter to himself watching the characters do their thing.
"Just me, myself.. and i."
Time kept going by, and... yikes, he was now nineteen. He ended up dyeing his candy a bit darker, since well.. any candy person can choose their color. Verdant liked his green color, but he was well.. quite neon. He went to a slightly grayer color that he thought looked nice.
To put into perspective, the candy universe is quite different than the Earth. Candy people can professionally get their colors swapped, like hair. Blue to pink, green to yellow, purple to red... anything was possible. This also means racism simply didn't exist.
Back to Verdant...
He decided to toughen up for once, getting up his courage and summoning his first portal since that one two years ago... he's a little chicken sometimes. All the time.
Unfortunately, this didn't really work the best. He went to several universes after getting the hang of it, andddd... no one ever seemed to even want to understand what or who he is, and where he came from. He spend the next two years just going and going... he got into a depression, but he was determined to find ANYONE who would care about him.
. . .
Soon, he gave up. He stayed in his little space, making whatever he wanted, for however long.
When the age of twenty-three came along...
He tried again. Due to all the terrible reactions, he was pretty used to being rejected of even a chance at humanity.
... what? He walked through and the first thing he sees is some weird human and a flame rapidly growing... in the middle of a forest... uh.
Background!!! Timmy boy
Timmy boy, just like his name, his life was rather basic. He grew up alt and pretty lonely. He kept himself entertained however.
His mother was a simple woman, keeping everything afloat and making sure to preserve her sanity with it, though Tim didn't help much with his shenanigans. Tim always liked to fool around, but also always helped out his dear mother when he could. Unfortunately, the father has been out of the picture for just about forever. Though that didn't trouble either of them. Tim would play board games, video games, or watch movies with his mom just for the fun of it.
Tim was seventeen at the time, working at a local McDonalds... he was pulling in money, which meant more accessories, yipppeeee! Then he realized he's gonna be an adult really soon... and decided to keep it safe instead.
His life was pretty simple... he had fun in life, even without many friends. He had no bullies in school, no major problems, nothing making his life miserable... he was just doing fine overall.
. . .
Life continues and with the help of his mother, he got himself an apartment and a car by nineteen. His twenty second birthday rolled around... he was getting somewhat bored and decided, hey! Why not go camping?? Anything to entertain himself.
Stuff was finally getting boring.
Before he even started putting up a tent, he wanted to start a fire! Why? Who knows. He got there fashionably late and the sun was going down.
Being the idiot he was, accidentally lit the newspapers he was going to use on fire after forgetting how to light a lighter. In a frantic attempt to stop the fire, he threw the newspapers down and tried to stomp the flame out.
He looked up mid stomp... WHAT THE HELL? There was some... some green alien!!!
"IS THAT AN ALIEN?" He shouted, though he meant to whisper it...
"Is this what humans usually do..." the green looking thing said.
With one final stomp, the fire went out.
This is how they meet. Tim in the first several minutes of meeting him finds he has no name, in which he automatically searches up "names to call a green person" and found Verdant! Meaning lush plants... he's not a plant, but he is green.
Their weird friendship started, and Tim's mom was happy to see his son getting a friend, which he had introduced to her. She didn't exactly know whether to call a scientist or congratulate him, so she just did the latter... she didn't want to ruin this happiness.. and he seemed harmless enough.
