Let's go back

Summary:

"I like this player. It played well. It did not give up."
or, Zam and the terrible, no-good, horrible day(s).

Notes:

revenge revenge is here !!!! and guess what, i can also put zam through the horrors >:-)
when i saw this prompt i was like "do you guys think i could make this a time loop" and bc in team wardens we're so normal about time loops they obviously said yes. love you guys thank you for enabling me :-D <3
i believe last year i also put ls5!zam in a time loop. dw, this one is more hopeful? i guess you could say?
i'm gonna shut up now, let's get into it !! enjoy !!!!!
title and quote in the summary are from the end poem!

prompt: a never ending cycle
TWs: temporary character death (not described)

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

I keep dying and coming back, and I don't know why.
I logged on, went to the Abyss base to talk to Jumper, and suddenly we were both falling in the void. We died, and it kicked me out, so I logged back on.
They sent the same messages. Pangi and Jumper said hello, and then Jumper messaged me telling me that she needed to chat to me and that Mapicc and Bacon had something for us. I went back, and Jumper and I died again.
Well, I think Jumper died too. There's no way she escaped that.
Then it happened a third time. I made Jumper come to me, but we still fell and died.

I don't know what's happening.
This is the fourth time I live today.

Loop 9

I think I'm starting to go insane
No matter what I do, Jumper and I always get eaten by the void. I've tried to save both of us, just me, just her. Nothing. We both fall in the end, me first and Jumper right behind me. I've tried to get more people to fall with us. I hoped it would satify the void.
None of it matters in the end, though. Nothing.

Not even this book. The book always resets with everything. I'm just writing this down to do something with my hands

I always feel cold now, despite my temperature being fine.
I'm not sure I'll ever stop being eaten

You whisper to JumperWho: I need to talk to you

You whisper to JumperWho: it's important

You whisper to JumperWho: meet me at the church?

JumperWho whispers to you: Sure..?

JumperWho whisper to JumperWho: I actually needed to talk to you as well


You whisper to JumperWho: it's the void

JumperWho whispers to you: Oh

JumperWho whispers to you: Mapicc and Bacon has a surprise for us, maybe it has do with that?

You whisper to JumperWho: I promise you it's not

You whisper to JumperWo: pls hurry

<PrinceZam> what do you guys think about the void?

<Pangi> um?

<Pangi> personally I don't mind it but I'm also not a huge fan of the void traps

<MinuteTech> Same

<4CVIT> it would be nice to not have to watch my step so carefully


<PrinceZam> ok

<JumperWho> Zam???

<MinuteTech> What is going on lol

<Pangi> I'm so confused

Loop 16

I've tried everything. I don't know what else I can do. We always die.

On another note, I think I know stuff I shouldn't. I think Jumper is working with the Foundation, but i still haven't gotten her to confess it. I haven't really interrogated her though. I'm a little too busy with other stuff.

I just want something to change, anything. Anything to distract me from the cold. I can't escape it now.

Is this karma for messing with the void? Why aren't Mapicc and Bacon also going through this? Why doesn't Jumper remember?
I want someone to help me. I don't think anyone will.

<Pangi> hi zam!

JumperWho whispers to you: What???

JumperWho whispers to you: Are we going to get jumped?

You whisper to JumperWho: just stay somewhere you know is safe


You whisper to JumperWho: is that you outside??

JumperWho whispers to you: Yes!! You can't just say we're gonna die and not expect me to worry

You whisper to JumperWho: I told you to stay somewhere safe

You whisper to JumperWho: oh we're screwed

JumperWho whispers to you: We're not, I promise

I'm so tired. I don't wanna do this anymore.

My life now boils down to just logging in and being eaten by the void. Sometimes I try to save us, sometimes I just lay down and take it. It doesn't matter either way, I'll just come back and live through this again.

Jumper always finds me. No matter if I tell her to stay away, or if I go a million blocks away, she finds me somehow. And then we die. I don't like the fact that I remember so perfectly the terror in her eyes as she watches me die.

I lost track of how many times I've logged in today.

The player wants to give up.

I see. He hasn't, though. Not yet.

Not yet. He tried to.

Still, he didn't.

He's still going. Another loop has started.

Does he know that, while the cycle does not end, it shatters?

I highly doubt it.

He still hasn't realized his connection with his fellow player.

He will, though. Eventually.

After all, this player is resilient.

He is. And he will get through this.

Do you hear us, player? Do you hear the universe?

The universe believes in you.

You believe in yourself.


Keep going
