LCB-00-WD: Refractine Rainbow - Built it all from an empty room

Summary:

This page looks at Document Number LCB-00-WD. LCB Stands for Limbus Company Bus, 00 indicates no central Sinner focus, and WD designates... Wait a minute, I've been here before! Hell naw, last document was borked as hell and now you mean to tell me it will happen again! What does "WD" even mean? Something stupid like Wing Ding-

HEARD YOU

TALKING SHIT.

Holy fuck dude when did you come here?!

JUST NOW

THROUGH THAT PORTAL. OVER THERE

I HAVE LOST SOMETHING VERY, VERY VALUABLE TO ME.

Oh God what the fuck has the LCFDepartment done this time?! I'm just... Sigh, I'm not paid enough for this shit. The entrance to the Refracted Rainbow™ is over there...

THANK YOU.

Notes:

Enable workskin and read tags.

This is some bullshit I whipped up AGAIN for LCFDepartment. I expect NOBODY else to read this fic as it required an overlap between Refracted Rainbow™ readers and Deltarune fans, a Venn diagram so thin it's practically nonexistent.

You don't have to read the previous Refractine Rainbow either, this is just may way of maintaining a semblance of normalcy and order with this fic.

I'm so very sorry for those who clicked on this fic exclusively from browsing the Deltarune tags.

EDIT: Despite this being inspired by Dead Units Tell no Upties, Built it All From An Empty Room has been retroctively made a sequel to Average Dead Week in Ohio.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Refractine Rainbow: Built it all from an empty room

Huff, huff
Oh, we are SO fucked.
Fuck… Huh? You people are here too?
Doesn’t matter, not like any of you can talk.
Now, what am I doing?
Normally, I wouldn’t tell, but…
*CRASH*
I’m breaking into their house. Their Light House.
I’m sure you’ve, Huff, seen the newest Refracted Rainbow™, yes?
Then do I need to elaborate on just how royally fucked we are?
Well, not everyone here…
Timelines are jumping left and right, realities are merging…
I’m sure even ”Deltarune (Video Game)” individuals are here…
How do I know about that?
Well, of course I know, unlike those false ascendees!
Speaking of… They’re out gambling right now. Since they too sometimes take rests. Silly mortal indulgeances affect them, even now…
What was I doing? Ah, yes…
*CRASH*, *SCATTER*, *RUMBLE*
Ah, there it is! The Distortion Device!
In theory, it should allow me to have a more solid presence down in the mortal realm.
Gah, no time to explain!
Down we go!
Location: The Outskirts next to District 23
That worked better than expected. I suppose I underestimated that woman’s ingenuity…
Hmm, but I still do not look proper at all. That won’t do.
What was it that her coworker did back then… Something like *SNAP*
Hermes Ah, much better.
Hermes Now… time to greet the visitors I never wanted to see….

Hermes Ahem.

Hermes AHEMM…

Hermes A-FUCKING-HEMMMM!!!!!!!!
All eyes FINALLY move onto me.
Hermes Greetings—

Hermes Is… Interruption customary on this boat?!
And HEY!
I’M the narrator here! Off of my turf!

Hermes As I was saying…
Hermes Greetings, I am Hermes. A God of the City.
Hermes I, with my authority, have come forth to greet you and your… motley crew, W. D. Gaster.

Hermes A-Ahem…
Hermes So this makes things easier…
Hermes You see, as it stands, I cannot permit you entrance within the borders of the Refracted Rainbow™’s City.

Hermes Yes, that is the issue. Her.
Hermes I cannot let you do that.

Hermes You heard me, Wing Ding.
Hermes It’s far too dangerous to have you all meandering around in our world.
Hermes We cannot risk incurring the ire of the great Wishmaker, Kim Ji-Hoon.
Hermes Not even I could…
Hermes Then… Audience forbid, Toby Fox gets dragged into this as well…
I shudder, despite myself.
Toby Fox is that scary.
Then, in the corner of my eye, I spot a presence approaching.

Hermes No, nothing as harsh, I assure you…
Hermes Simply… Let the mortals figure it out.
Hermes This world’s Flow. I can sense it. Situations like those have a tendency to solve themselves.
Hermes So rest assured, you’ll have your flower back.
Hermes And nobody will have to face any legal issues.

I smirk.
Hermes Oh, but of course. I had prepared for this situation.
I pull out the Master Device from where I send all my Prescripts.
Then I press a few buttons, much to their anticipation.
Suddenly, voice starts carrying through the apparatus and I point the screen to them.
??? Is… Is this thing on?
??? I never knew it had a microphone, much less a camera…
Location: W Corp Headquarters - Heathcliff’s Room
Rien Right… So the Prescript also says to whisper as to not stir them.
Rien Ahem. Aqua Deltarune is currently under the custody of W Corp. Heathcliff of Charge Society.
Rien As a Wing employee, he has status and resources to house and feed her.
Rien Plus, he’s one of the few that has played ‘Deltarune’, whatever that is.
Rien And I can attest that this Society is safer than most.
Rien Also, he has a colleague in my dear Yosihide, who is very good with kids.
Rien ... Prescript cleared.
Rien ... I need to get out of here…
The video and audio cuts and I hide away my Master Device.
Hermes As you can see, she is safe and sound.

Hermes Tomato, tomato. All that matters is that your worries got quelled.
Hermes Now, if everything is sorted, please go.
Hermes I’m sure you all have better places to be.
Hermes Ta-ta, it’s been pleasure!

Hermes Oh… Oh dear…
Hermes I was… too late.

Ayin and Carmen… That’s their names.
How bothersome, I’ll never hear the end of it.
Carmen HEERMEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carmen What the HELL are you-
She naturally pauses, looking at the rag-tag group that has gathered here.
Carmen Who the fuck are those people.
Carmen Hermes, who—How—When??
Hermes These are individuals from Deltarune.
Ayin Delta… Like the place where that Aqua girlie is from??
Hermes Yes.

Carmen d
Ayin I think you broke her.

Carmen d???????????????
Ayin T-There’s such a thing…?
Hermes Hmph. Of course you two didn’t know.
Ayin And you… did????
Hermes
Ayin So what… what are they even doing here…?
Ayin Looking for Aqua?
Hermes Yes—Gah.
Hermes Look, I’ve already sorted everything out with them.
Hermes I hoped that I would manage to wrap things up quickly so you lot don’t show up.
Hermes So, let’s turn tail and pretend everything that has happened here never did.
Hermes Alright?
Carmen Eugh…
Carmen I think my brain stopped trying to rationalize all of this…
Carmen But, what did you trick them with this time, Hermes?
Carmen I doubt any arrangement of yours would be this simple.
Hermes Me? Trick them? Oh, why would you even assume such a thing about me?

Hermes Okay, fair enough…
Hermes But I swear it’s good this time.
And is the narrator back?! I thought I shut you up, why I oughta…!
Hey, stop that! What the hell, territorial ass mf.

Carmen HEY!

Ain’t no way they calling Kris over this oooh naahh.

Is… Is he pointing his phone towards me??

Hermes Oh my Me, bruh.
Ayin You know shit’s fucked when even Hermes is losing it.
Carmen
Hermes ALRIGHT!
Hermes So we’ve satisfied all our curiosities now, GREAT.
Hermes Let’s just all go on our merry fucking way already!
Hermes Please.

Hermes Me four.
Carmen Uhhh, yeah. I have a feeling it won’t bode well. Right, babe?
Ayin Uhm, sure. I wouldn’t trust a floating cloak with my fountain installation either.

The shadowy smoke that erupted instead did something… unexpected.
The smoke coalesced and gathered in one place…
And, after it cleared…

??? * Hmm, pardon for keeping you waiting!
Renery * Howdy, it’s me, Renery! I’m Yoshihide’s Daughter’s Best Friend.
Hermes
Ayin I-... I, uh, uhhh…? Uhm, I mean…
So, like. Every Ryoshu across every Mirror World… Erm…
Renery * Go on buddy, don’t be scared.
Ugh, they surely must’ve shuddered in horror, like there was a disturbance in the Force…
Hermes How do you KNOW ABOUT STAR WARS BUT NOT ABOUT DELTARUNE??

Renery * Woah there! Be kinder to that fellow, will ya?
Renery * I’m only here because of them!
Hermes NOBODY wants you here.
Renery * Oof, that’s harsh! You’re severing my heart!
Ayin Oh god he’s doing sword puns.

Renery * Don’t be so temper-metal.
Hermes Gaster, can we kill this dude?

Renery * Hey there, you’re infringing on my right to exist that way.
Renery * Are you suggesting that Freedom is just a thing for Big Shots?

Did the Rupture Potency on this dude instantly reach 99?? What’s that count too?!
Renery * Hrk, agh!
Renery * It seems I need to use my Final Azureslash…!
Renery * With your Fingers combined....
Renery * Omega Renery...!!

Oh it’s not even close. Dear god it’s a massacre!
Dude has fought valiantly but damn…
Oh, and now they’re throwing him overboard.
Renery * I’m falling!
I don’t think he’s surviving that… And even if he did, the Head will deal with him.
Good riddance, honestly.
Hermes Phew, good going big G.

Hermes Ooooouughhh my me…
Hermes I have a headache…
Hermes Let’s… go back already.
Ayin We agree on something for once, Hermes. Let’s go, dear.
Carmen ...
Ayin Dear…?
Ayin Oh, it seems she’s blacked-out. Standing upright. Probably happened when she saw Renery. I can’t blame her, honestly.
Ayin Hey, can you help me carry her?
Hermes ...
Hermes Y’know what? Screw it, sure.
Hermes I’ll take the legs…
Hermes And you audience…
Hermes Just… goodbye.

Notes:

So... I horked up another one, huh? I couldn't be helped, those mfs V and J had the AUDACITY to include Aqua Deltarune in RR - Dead Units Tell No Upties. How flippin' dare they! It rewired my god damn brain so hard I felt the visceral need to make another fic for them.

And I also want to thank Yoshihide "Justice" Vismok for making Renery real.

Anyway I hope you liked... whatever this was. The fever dream episode I conjured up. And go read my other PM fics I need more eyes on them, gyahaha!!!!!
