Act 1: Prologue
I couldn't help but feel giddy as I loaded up my computer. Hiveswap had just been released, and I was determined to play. Especially due to the fact that Toby Fox had a hand with the music.
Opening up Steam, I bought the game. After clicking play the menu appeared. Rubbing my hands together in anticipation, I clicked "New Game."
And the whole world exploded in a bright light.
What happened?
I didn't know why I was staring at the ceiling in bed, or why I was in bed. Sitting up I checked to make sure I was still in one piece and noticed something off.
Not only was my room completely different, but my skin was chalk white. I adjusted my glasses to make sure I wasn't seeing anything, but they weren't on my face, nor was my nose. My clothes were different too. A white jacket over a black shirt with a cyan colored circular symbol.
"Are you still heading out sweetie?"
Looking to my right, I saw a woman enter my room. Like me she had chalk white skin, no nose, and black hair that reached her shoulders. She was dressed in a blue blouse and black jeans.
Wait... I know her.
Getting up, I walked towards the mirror to get a better look at myself, and it clicked.
I ws Gizmo Misfit; my Homestuck OC.
"Gizmo? Are you alright?"
Clara Animo; my mother. A caring woman who does all she can to look after her family.
"I'm fine mom." I turned to her. "I just thought about going for a walk to clear my mind."
"Well, don't forget you're visiting Joey and Judy for a few hours." She said as I went downstairs
"I won't."
I waved at neighbors as I passed by. I tried to figure out how I was so calm about this, but 90% off my memories had been replaced with memories of my OC.
From what I remembered. Me and my mother had moved into Hauntswitch a few years ago. During those years I was an outcast, that is until I met Joey Claire and Jude Harley.
Like me, they were outcasts as well.
They live on the outskirts of Hauntswitch in their Half-Harley Manor. I felt bad when I heard about how they were alone, so I introduced myself to them.
We became good friends.
Joey was really nice, especially towards animals. She was also, in no particular order, a puzzle solver, a dancer of multiple schools, and she was aspiring to be a veterinarian. To spend time time with her, we attended dance class together. She excelled at tap dancing while I became a skilled waltzer. I also usually helped in taking care of any injured animals we came across.
Jude had a huge love of conspiracy theories, which Joey found annoying. Sometimes he tended to prank or pester Joey. He's a really smart guy, and loves his pigeons.
Overall the three of us were really close friends.
After a while I soon came across Half-Harley Manor. I was still amazed of it's size and the fact that Joey and Jude lived there alone. Today was the first day I'd actually see the inside of it."
As reached the front door I was ambushed by a wall of white. It was Tesseract, their pet dog. I shield my face from her licks as I pushed her off of me. Standing up, I brushed my clothes before ringing the doorbell.
Soon after, I heard the faint sound of footsteps rapidly approaching the door. It quickly swung open revealing a smiling Joey.
"gizmo!" She cried, giving me a hug.
"Hey Joey." I replied, returning the hug.
"i'm glad you came!"
"How could I not. It's the first time I've been invited to this place."
"well what are waiting for?" She gestured with her arm and smiled. "come on in!"
"Whoa." I commented as I observed the inside of the manor. "This place is huge!"
"tell me about it." Joey agreed. "if you didn't know the layout you'd probably end up lost."
I noticed there was a whole lot of junk lying around. Ranging from umbrellas two taxidermy animals. There always these pictures ans statues of blue woman that made me blush.
As we neared the kitchen, the door opened to reveal Jude.
"Hey Jude." I greeted with a wave.
"HEY GIZMO," he replied, echoing the gesture. "GOOD TO SEE YOU."
"So." I asked as we entered the kitchen. "What's for dinner?"
"how does cold pizza and soda sound?" Joey answered.
"That'll work."
After dinner we decided spend the next hour outside playing. While Joey and I played around with Tesseract, Jude spied on the two with his binoculars for some reason.
As Joey rolled around in a pile of leaves, I cannonballed it. Spooking her a leaves flew everywhere. Jude had kept his eyes glue on the town, that he failed to notice Tesseract appear in front of him, causing him to fall back surprised leaving me and Joey laughing.
But our fun was short lived when a black, many legged snake monster appeared out of nowhere. Tesseract fled into her doghouse while Jude climbed the treehouse.
The monster chance after Joey and I as we fled to the house. Bursting through the doors we tried to shut them but the monster was too strong.
"come on!" Joey cried as she grabbed by arm and dragged me up the stairs with the snake monster right on our heels.
Turning down a hallway Joey led me to what was presumably her room. Opening the door, we dove in, slamming the door in the creatures face.
We stood there for a few moments catching our breath, both of visibly shocked at what just happened.
"Sooo, that happened."
And here it is!
I'm in Hiveswap, Wicked!"
