Duh Duh DAH! Welcome, dear readers, to the Sbrub Delta. Today, July 14, is the day that this fanfiction was created a year ago! That's right, this is the first anniversary of Sbrub Delta! I am feeling very generous today, so I'll give y'all the update. But first, not shout outs, not the disclaimer, but just thank yous. Thanks to all of you for putting up my bullshit for a flipping year. It really means a lot to me. This fanfiction and you all. Thank you.

LODAM, Troll friends, and the Cat Whisper
ANDY: PASS OUT?
No. You think you're good. You're just shocked. Really, really shocked. This place strangely reminds you of the pit from the divergent movie; only bigger and had more different buildings.
"Girl."
You turn towards X, the demon boy. You don't know what his actual name or age, but you can only guess things right now. Everything is happening so fast that your brain just can't keep up.
"Don't worry," Cassandra said. "I have enough brain for both of us." You roll your eyes at her.
"Now is not the time to be rolling eyes, girl," X said. You could feel heat rush to your face while Cassandra laughs at your misfortune. X arches an eyebrow. "Not to be racist or anything, but you're the first dark-skinned person I've ever seen to blush," he said.
You couldn't help but blush even more. You never really noticed you did it, you sister however would blush and it would actually show on her dark cheeks so maybe it was a family trait. You tell X so. He nods. "Nice." He lets go of your hand and grabs your arm instead, lifting it up above your head. "People of LODAM," he calls out. Suddenly, silence came over the pit and they are all staring at you. Even people from inside the buildings came out to see what was going on. They were all waiting for X to say something.
"People of LODAM," he repeats. "I have brought you someone! I have brought you the Sburb Player we were all waiting for! The Blood Maiden of Legend! She is here to finish this horrid game once and for all!"
As soon as he finished, cheers could be heard everywhere. Their voices bounced off the stone walls and made their cheers even louder.
"Hey." You almost didn't hear him over the crowed. "What's your name?" It takes you a second to realize what he was asking you. "Say something, Idiot!" Cassandra screams at you over the yells.
"A-andy," you say. "Andy Simmon."
He nods an turns back to the crowed. He pushes you forward, much to your dismay, and screams, "This is your player of Sburb! Her name is Andy! And we will be her army towards victory!"
More cheers could be heard. You could even hear people chanting your name. You always wanted people to cheer your name but not like this. X dropped your arm and dragged you down onto the sandy path. "Come," he said. "We have important things to talk about." He turns towards a guardsmen. "try to calm down the people from that display. We don't need a riot on our hands right now." The guard nods, his eyes watching your every move.
You move pat the guard, calling out a quick thank you towards him. X eyes you weirdly. "Why'd you do that?" he asks.
"I like to thank people for doing their jobs. Somebody gotta do it. I use to thank bus drivers all the time."
A small smile fell on his face. "So you're one of those people, huh?"
"Uh, hey, I hate to interrupt the flirting," the purple eyed girl said. " But don't you think we should give her more information about LODAM before we interrogate her about HS?"
You nod. "That would be helpful."
"Right," X said. "So LODAM stands for-"
"Wait!" You pull out your phone again and unlock it. Then you hit the record button and began to film X.
"Okay," you say. "Go."
You can tell by his face that he has no idea what you think you're doing. Before he could say anything, you answer his question for him. "Many scientists, like Darwin, have recorded their findings or research. I'm doing this for an easy access in the future."
The other demons look shocked by what you said, but X, the girl, and Cassandra all looked impressed. Yeah. You know stuff. "Okay," he said. "LODAM stands for the Land of demons and . . ." His face is one of pure disgust as he spits out the next word. "Music."
"What's so bad about music?" you ask.
His eyes turn to you, filled with disgust and fire. "What's so bad about music? Music causes disaster. It causes destruction and death."
"But that's not true," you interrupt. "Music let's out feelings that people can't normally express. It allows people to express who they are."
X rolls his eyes at you while Cassandra growls at him. "Ass. Who does he think he is?"
While you share her thoughts, you wouldn't actually say that to his face. Yet.
"We'll come back to that topic later. We're here." You meet face to face with another metal door with a keypad on the side. X types in the password into the pad and the door slides open. "Step inside," he instructed. You were about to go in when you hear a familiar call.
"Kanaya!"
You whips your head around to see a dark skinned girl try to push her way though the guards. Your heart lifts up and a giant smile comes upon your face. "Feferi!"
The guards stop to look at you and the girl pushes past the. You cut off the recording and rushes into the arms of your fake daughter, her spinning you around while you two laugh.
"Andy," you hear X say. "A friend of yours?"
"This is Jennie," you say. "And we're LKMFL."
You groan at the questioning looks the two of you got. "Library-Kinda-Moirails-For-Life? Duh."
"We met at the local library," Jennie states. "And we bonded over anime. The relationship just took off after that."
Your eyes widen. "Jennie, is Jegus here?"
She nods. "Yeah. She takes care of the library down here."
"Jegus?" One of the other demons ask.
"Yeah. Like Troll Jesus. Jegus."
"You know about trolls?" someone else asks.
"Duh."
"Then you know about-"
You jump out of Jennie's arms and throw yourself at X. You cover his mouth with your hands. "Shush! Don't talk about it out loud!"
Realizing what you've done, you back away from X. "Sorry. Yes, I know about it but we can't say it out in the open."
"Then let's go in the room and talk," the girl suggests.
You shake your head. "No. We literally can't talk about it." You begin to whisper. "He's listening."
"Who is?" X asks quietly.
"Kankri Vantas. My patron troll."
A hush of silence forms as soon as you finish those words. You sigh. "Look. I'll give ya a report or sometin but you know who can't know 'bout you know what."
"Why not?" a guard asks.
You realize that all the attention is on you. All these strangers are staring at you. All these eyes, right on you. Suddenly, you feel a lot smaller. You open your mouth to speak but you couldn't find your voice at all. Jennie immediately notice our reaction. "Too many people?" she asks. You nod. She knows you like an open book.
Jennie pulls you into a side hug. "Let's go into the creepy room. There's too many demons here and you guys are making my mom uncomfortable."
You laugh. "I love how you're my daughter even though you're older than me."
She grins back at me. "Because Kanaya is the mother of all."
"Wait a second," X said, pointing at Jennie. "You can't come in. This entire situation is classified."
Anger bubbled up from your body. How dare he? She was the best thing you've seen on this planet and he wanted her to leave?
Oh hell no.
"No."
"Excuse me?" X glanced down at you, as if daring you to repeat what you just said.
"I said no. Jennie is coming with me. Or else."
"Or else what?"
You grin. "Toma. Here, kitty kitty."
You hear a growl come from behind you. The guards jumped from the middle of the pathway ad Toma walked down towards you. There was something different about her. Her eyes were glowing more brightly than before and she had a semi menacing aura. You can seem some demons step back away from you.
"Don't ya underestimate a girl and her cat, X."
Toma growls more, mostly towards him. His eyes never leaves Toma's and he places a hand on his cheek, probably remembering the scratch she gave him. You love this cat. You really, really do.
"I'm not scared of the cat." You honestly don't believe him when he says this. You turn towards Toma and nod. Commence Plan 3825 36 87.
Toma nods back and begins to walk towards X. She gets on her hind legs and puts her front paws on his pants leg, she begins to climb up his body like a snake. None of the other demons try to do anything thing about, curious on what she had planed. X, however, was the opposite. He moved around and tried to throw her off but failed every time. Toma climbed all the way up his shirt, her face right in front of his. She stared straight into his eyes for what felt like forever before he finally gave in. "Fine! She can come! Just get this thing off of me!"
You whistle and Tom jumps off him and onto you. She curls around your neck and purrs as you pet her forehead. You smile at Jennie, who looked shocked. You grab her arm.
"Let's go," you say, and you drag her into the darkness.
Boom. LODAM, Land of Demons and music. And we get to know more about Andy and some f her relationships back at home. Do you want to know where her home is? Well, it is in the US but where in the US. I'll give you a hit. It's a pretty famous place in the US.
What's up with Toma? What kind of cat is that? Well, I did have a cat name Toma at one point. She was an ass to me but loved my sister. She only tolerated me because I feed her when my sister was away at college. I tolerated her because she would watch anime with me. A cat that watches anime, do you have that?
Jennie and Jegus are actual people too. We did meet at a library and Jegus is a library, who I'm still trying to get to read Homestuck. She's persistent. I'll tell you that.
I tied to let you guys see more into Andy with this chapter too. So far, you guys have only seen her when she's alone or when she's talking to people who she doesn't really know in real life. Now that she's in front of a bunch of strangers, she's not as tough as she tries to get you to believe. Remember guys, she's a kid. Some kids like to stay inside and making friends online because they can. Some do it for other reasons. What's yours?
Also, Plan 3825 36 87, if you look at these numbers on a phone, it can be translated into, or at least what I planed it to say, "fuck em up". Get it? Got it? Good. Witch of Blood, out.
