Sollessheart1265 A/N: hey guys! No hold on one second and let me explain what i am doing here! I am collaborating on a story with Eldrik (Morgan). We decided to make this because why not?! So to answer the questions before you even have them: no this wont affect MY writing in any way shape or form. Nor his, once he starts. Now be warned this is a double self insert. If you dont like it tough.
Eldrik: I have no clue how this will work, I just had an idea and asked Robert (soulessheart1265) and he rolled with it, we don't own anything other than are characters, RWBY is owned by rooster teeth.
Head on collisions.
Its new, being hurtled across space. Something most people should never experience. But few, like myself, will. When you think of space you think "wow, I never expected it to be that large." But if you think about it. Space is limitless. And I found myself hurtling across the ever growing black void affectionately dubbed space. The only thought, aside from those of my family and my boyfriend, was "how did all this start?"
POV: Robert.
Beep beep beep beep! The alarm from the small digital clock signaled seven o'clock in the morning. The time when I have to get ready to go to my menial job. I work at a fast food restaurant while I wait to join the armed forces.
I slam my hand down on the top of the clock to shut the blaring noises up. I reach to my bead side table and grab the white undershirt I wear to traverse my small home. I grab a change of clothes and head towards my small restroom for a shower.
I step into the room and lock the door behind me. I turn the one knob on the wall and start the showers water. This knob was built to regulate temperature, not pressure. While the water pressure is very pleasant, you can't make it any softer or harder. You are stuck with hard. And that's all you get. But you get used to it. The position on the knob that I like is not hard to memorize. I like the water as hot as you can get it.
I turn the knob all the way and strip my clothes off, revealing my white skin to the world. After about a half hour I finish scrubbing my body and hair and turn the water off. I reach forward, just out of reach of the spray, and grab a towel. I wrap said towel around my body and walk to my room, to get into my work uniform. "I hope I have a clean one." After about ten minutes of rummaging I find one. The shirt is simple enough. It's a green polo shirt with a folded down collar and a pair of black slacks. We also have a hat that has the logo on it. But I never wear mine due to the fact that it is one or two sizes too small.
I look to my phone and see a text on the screen.
Sarah (boss): I don't need you to come into work today. I'm training a new hire. take a day off.
Me: okay.
Well. I woke up for no reason. I would go back to sleep but I never can. "Maybe I'll call my mom. It's been a while." I change into my read and black checkered button up shirt and some black jeans. I scroll through my phone and notice a weird message from a hidden number.
?: hey, what are you doing right now?
Me: why should it matter to you? Who are you?
?: a friend.
Me: sure you are. Now what do you want?
?: it's not about what I want. It's about what I need. and right now, I need you to get on your computer.
I pause. Should I trust this person? Whoever they are. But if I don't what will happen? Nothing right? I mean, they have no idea where I am. Right?
Just then my screen lights up as I get a new message.
?: you have five minutes to respond or I'll have to take moves that I don't want to have to take. Steps that involve your mother.
"Mom…"
Me: alright you piece of shit. You have my attention. What is it that you need?
?: oh it's simple. Just go take a look at your computer monitor.
Me: my computer monitor? Why?
?: just do it!
Me: okay okay, sheesh.
I walk up to my desktop and flick the mouse, lighting up my screen.
Me: okay. I'm looking at the screen. Now what?
?: now you wait. Just stare at the monitor. You have to keep looking. No matter what. If you do, your mom and sister are dead. Got it?
I bow my head slightly and keep my gaze on the screen.
Me: understood.
The screen goes from my rainbow color load screen that contains a picture of a blunderbuss shotgun, to a blank black screen. "What the…"
I lean forward slightly to investigate. That's when it happens. The screen grows exponentially and swallows me. I mean literally. I look around finding myself in the endless void of space. Wondering what happened.
"Was that a floating 1?" I look around myself and notice a ton of floating 1's and 0's. I see a sequence of 1's and 0's that are arranged in a BCD type order.
If I remember correctly this exact pattern is Two lives.

Or when, put together, LIVES. But I could be wrong. I look off to my right. And see another body hurtling towards me. "Wait is that…"
POV: Morgan
Beepbeepbeep, beepbeepbeep, beepbe-. The noise stops as I slam my hand down on my Lego Darth Vader alarm clock, giving him a concussion. I get up and look out the window, it was snowing, heavily, which is rare for Britain, even rarer is the fact that there was a blanket of at least a foot of snow.
I checked my phone and looked up my school website, it had a notice to all parents and students that school was closed. I was ecstatic at that. I got into my usual black dressing gown and went to the bathroom, knowing that I wasn't getting back to sleep. I brushed my teeth, hating every second of it, and walked out again.
I got dressed into something more presentable, my red and black checkered shirt that my boyfriend from America had a similar version of, then I got some standard jeans and some Rudolph socks I got for Christmas.
Afterwards I sat down and checked my phone, I noticed a weird number with a text sent from it.
?: hello. You may not know me, but are you busy?
"What the fuck?" I think as I read, but, being too tired to give one, I decided to entertain this guy.
Me: No? Why?
?: I need a favor. Will you help me?
Me: what with?
?: you know, you are so much more compliant than Robert. I need you to stare at your monitor.
Me: HOW. DO. YOU KNOW. ABOUT ROBERT?!
?: hm hm hm. Wouldn't you like to know? But please, do as I ask.
Me: before I do anything for you, I need to know Where Robert is, or at least that he's safe.
?: I could tell you and we could stand here and waste each other's time. Or you can do as I am asking and you could meet him face to face for the first time in your life. How does that sound?
Me: fine, let me switch it on
?: good boy! Your learning.
I turn on the computer and stare into the monitor as it loaded, before I knew it my monitor ATE me. After That my first thought was "what the fuck?" then I realised I was in space, "wait, I'm in space! How am I not dead yet?!" I quickly worked out I wasn't in space exactly, due to there being GIANT BINARY CODE FLYING ABOUT. I saw it was in fives so I assumed it was BCD code, it took a while but I translated it to: BECOME ONE.
