Chapter Text
Cirrus doesn’t remember much about what had happened, Only the loud sound of the tnt and the little ‘Yay!’ from the victory, what a sick joke. Usually he would’ve woken up in the void until the next game, but not this time no, He woke up in a cold dark box with a single torch to light it. Was this another game? But where was everyone else.?
--
Krazzle doesn’t regret giving cirrus the win, yes he betrayed his friends for some lapis, but Cirrus had a good offer, how could he refuse? Waking up in the dark void was always the same, cold, loney. Everything started fading back in all at once, krazzle covered his eyes from the bright sunlight, all the player were already stood in a circle, he looked around but couldn’t spot Cirrus.
“Hey has anyone seen Cirrus?”
A collective shake of heads and No’s respond to his question he barely had time to think before they were all thrown throughout the map, Maybe Cirrus just wasn’t here this time.
--
After stumbling through the dark for a while cirrus finds a lever on the side of a platform reaching over to flink it the platform below him starts moving, he quickly goes to steady himself unsure of what is exactly happing, The observers had never done anything like this before, he doesn’t have any time to actually think it through as voices from above startle him back to reality he tries to pick out any voices he recogizes but he can’t seem too.
As the elevator reaches the very top the trap doors above him open he quickly goes to shield his eyes from the blinding light.
“Uh… Hello?”
“Hey! Hey..! its okay..” A gentle female voice greets him as they come down the latter
“Who are you..?”
“Im graecie.. Whats your name?” ‘graecie’ asked as cirrus moved back into the shade feeling the sun burning his skin.
“Cirrus…”
He was soon out of what they said was the elevator, The sun burned a lot, That was the thing that ticked him off that the observers didn’t own this world. They would have made him invincible to the sun. Nevertheless he pulled up his blue jacket around his shoulders hoping it would shield him slightly. He hadn’t really been paying attention to what this ‘graecie’ person was saying, too caught up in his own thoughts, Only pulled out of them by shouting. Two men were arguing. One stood on top of a very makeshift wall that reminded him of home, the other stood on the ground with these goggles that reminded him of Emily.
He didn't really care what was happening between the two but seeing the older man punch the boy with goggles felt a little entertaining. After most of the people had disassembled from the small group ‘graecie’ and cirrus walked up to the man who was fixing the wall
“Owen! This is the new person his name is Cirrus!” ‘graecie’ said pointing towards Cirrus who gave Owen a small wave.
“Hey, just stay out of the maze, yeah?” ‘Owen’ said placing stone back in place
“Maze?” Cirrus questioned
“oh you don't- uh… well this clearing is surrounded by a maze. It closes at night, but- don't go in.. it's dangerous.” Owen explains, what a very admirable person.
“How… interesting!” Cirrus said glancing into the ‘maze’

Man without cirrus things felt lonely, I mean krazzle would see them again in the winner lobby but still, being on red life probably wasn’t the best decision ever. But Krazzle had been so distracted, so distracted in fact he didn’t see eloise sneaking up on him, until he was… dead.
The winners lobby wasn’t anything crazy a few chairs and a screen to wtach everyone fight, Krazzle walked over plopping down right next to cirrus. “Man what A GAME. You should’ve been there!”
“...”
“Cirrus? Buddy?” He shoke cirrus shoulder “F- funny prank! You- you can move now!”
“...”
“Cirrus…?”
