User blog:Katuvis/LMBWFF Part 3

It has come to my attention that many of you suspect that the account Marus is my duplicate account. Here, I make my statement that it is not. I do not know who is behind it, or what his motives are, and I am just as curious as you are concerning his true identity.

Now that's over, here's Part 3.

PART 3

“So what the brick do we do now?” Twisted had asked.

“Uh, we could…” BCG started, faltered, and stopped. “Pretend I didn’t say anything.”

The four of them looked at each other awkwardly, each hoping the others would have a brilliant idea.

“Well,” Arya said cheerfully after a minute of this, “we’ll just stay right here, do nothing, and starve to death.” He said down on the flat white ground and twiddled his thumbs.

“I don’t like that idea,” Loney said. She fidgeted with her hair, unused to it being long. “We all found each other, what if there are other people out here, in… whatever this place is?”

“If we split up and search-” BCG started.

“-We’d lose each other and all be on our own again,” Twisted interjected.

“So we can stay together and go for a nice little walk and find some stray kittens,” Arya said, “until we drop dead of starvation, which will happen sooner if we expend energy by exploring.”

“I don’t know about that,” The-Guy-turned-Girl said slowly. “I’m pretty sure I’ve been here several days, but I’m not hungry or tired at all.”

“That’s funny, because I’d say I’ve only been here a few hours, yet you said we ran into each other almost right after you… woke up here,” Twisted said.

Loney stopped fidgeting and spoke. “I, for one, have no recollection of time being spent here. I’m just here, and that’s that.”

“Well, to quote LinkCelestrial,” Arya said, “‘That’s just maddeningly unhelpful.’”

The group lapsed into silence again, everyone being busy with his (or her) own private thoughts.

After some time that BCG felt was hours, Twisted imagined as minutes, and Loney didn’t notice at all, Arya looked up. He blinked his eyes and looked again. “Is that… fog?” There appeared to be a cloudy whiteness drifting around the group, but it was hard to tell, as the entire landscape was white.

Twisted cast a nervous glance around herself. “It looks like it,” she affirmed.

The temperature didn’t noticeably drop, but all four users felt chilled.

“It’s moving around,” BCG said in a high-pitched but hushed voice.

“Yet there’s no wind,” Loney added slowly.

A manic laughter rose from afar, and tore recklessly across the fog. None of the four made a sound, but instinctively took a step toward each other.

“Tremble in awe, children,” the same voice thundered. “Listen and learn. I am inescapable. I am all-powerful.” The volume increased and a barely-concealed layer of pure wrath coated each word. “I know your plans. They shall fail. I give no mercy. I will succeed, no matter what. I am MARUS.”

INSERT CHAPTER BREAK HERE

Back to Katuchim now. Satisfied with his new appearance, he closed the mirror application and swiped back to the Playbook's home screen. A picture of his dog stared up at him, and, resolutely ignoring it, he looked at the menubar across the screen's edge. The display showing the time and date was gone, replaced with "MARUS WAS HERE" in a jagged red font. "How amateur," Katu thought, pushing any fearing thoughts from his head. The email icon was blinking, so he opened up the messages application. All the old messages had disappeared, leaving a 2 unopened emails. The first had come from someone called Martin Atrus. "Dead giveaway," Katu scoffed, opening it.

"You have arrived. Martin Atrus Dominations Inc. has encountered an error in obliterating you from the earth. We apologize for our oversight, and sincerely hope that next time, we eliminate you properly. If you wish to report a bug in our annihilation process, please click HERE."

Katuchim read it. Then again. And again. Apparently he was supposed to have been killed... This was baffling. Well, at least he could be thankful he wasn't dead. Katu opened the other email. It was from LMB Wiki; the address was 'noreply@lmbw.wikia'. That also he knew.
