UGGGGH i need help! It's not as if i don't already have way to many anime fandoms to write for and keep up with… but NOOOOOO~ lets add horror RPG's while were at it! *Sigh*

Hey guys, i know i have TONS of other stories i should be updating… but plot bunnies are pure evil with the most inconvenient timings…

But lately I've gotten into "Ib" this suuuuper cool RPG horror game, usually i don't like horror but this game was absolutely amazing. Seriously watch a 'let's play', i admit the graphics aren't the best, but the plot more then makes up for it. (Although from the few I've seen, Markiplier got the best/happier endings)

Then i saw "Reversed Roles" by Alysaya, and i wanted to do something like that, where Ib is the adult and Garry is the child. That's where i originally got the idea

IMPORTANT ALSO! The cover pic is by Kurama-chan on DevientArt, yes i asked permission before using the pic, go see some of their other works they're a great artist

Ps. As of yet i haven't got a reply, stating right here and now that i do not claim ownership of the picture.

This will basically be a novelisation of the game, but with Ib and Garry switching places. I'm using a combination of the fan fiction "Ib" by 'Your Sorceress Knight' and Markipliers lets play to basically be my guide.

[ I'm sorry the authors notes were a bit long, i just needed to get a lot of things out of the way before i started the story, future chapters will have shorter authors notes. ]

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Ib or any of the characters or anything mentioned in the above authors note, i ONLY own the idea to write this story.

START OF CHAPTER:

In the early afternoon, under a grey sky…

Garry and his parents were on their way to an art gallery…

"Did you remember everything Garry?"

"Oh! Do you have your handkerchief? You know, the one you got for your birthday?"

"Keep it safe in you pocket, okay? Don't lose it!"

A young boy of only nine years old walked into the museum with his parents. He had pale lavender hair and bright blue eyes. He was wearing a green tank top and his favourite navy tattered jacket. The jacket almost reached the floor, but he really liked the coat.

His mother, who he shared his unusual hair colour with, was examining her surroundings with a soft smile on her face.

"Well, we're here." she said, addressing her son. "This is your first time in an art gallery, right Garry? We're here today to see an exhibition of works by an artist named 'Guertena'… and they don't just have paintings, but also sculptures and all kinds of other creations!" She gushed excitedly.

"I don't doubt that even you'll enjoy it, Garry."

His father turned to his mother and spoke. "Should we go to the reception desk?"

Garry may have shared his mothers hair, but he inherited his fathers bright blue eyes.

His mother, realising they had stopped by the entrance, blinked and quickly agreed with her husband.

"Ah, yes. Lets get some pamphlets as well."

With that the three walked up to the reception desk, where an elderly man was waiting. The boy's parents were talking to the old man, but Garry wasn't listening. He tugged on his mothers sleeve to get her attention, glad when she finally looked down at him. He looked at his mother silently, conveying a message with his eyes. Well eye, since his bangs fell long enough to cover one eye.

"Oh, you want to go on ahead? Really, Garry…" the boy just continued to stare at his mother with a hopeful expression.

Finally, she caved. "Oh all right. Just make sure you're quiet in the gallery okay? Don't make a ruckus!"

The woman gave her son a warm smile. "Not that there's any need to worry about you, i suppose… don't cause the other visitors any trouble now!"

And thus Garry walked off to explore the gallery, he started by going to the room on the right of the reception desk, and immediately came upon a notice on the wall.

"Welcome to the world of Guertena, we truly thank you for ? today. We're currently holding an ? for the great artist Weiss Guertena. We hope you deeply enjoy the art of the late Guertena, who's creations carry such mystery and beauty both."

No matter how hard Garry tried, he couldn't make out some of the words on the notice. Instead of getting upset, the small boy just shrugged and decided to go and look at some of the actual paintings.

'A Well Meaning ?' to him looked like an angry red lady yelling at a small blue boy playing a circle piano.

'? of the Deep' looked pretty scary, Garry shuddered to think what would happen if he ever met a giant fish like one in the painting.

This continued for some time, a lot of the paintings had words he couldn't read, but most words he could read okay.

'The Hanged Man' looked pretty cool, but there was a older girl already there infront of it. She was pretty, with long brown hair, a long red skirt, and a long sleeved white top. Garry decided not to disturb her, and kept on walking, but the lady didn't seem to notice him as he passed.

He kept up with his exploration, until he came across a very large painting that seemed to take up an entire wall.

'? World'

He couldn't read the first word, but he wasn't too worried. What did worry him was when the lights started to flicker on and off.

"What's going on?"
