Hey I'm not dead!

But anyways, for those of you who've been wondering where I've been…I was just being lazy and thinking about what stories to make…with this being one of them.
And as for those of you who don't know what this story is…I've posted about it on r/RWBYcritics here ( Requiem: The Rebirth of Ikari : r/RWBYcritics ), but I guess to explain it to those who don't want to see that post (and because that post might now be slightly irrelevant)…essentially this story is a sort-of remake of a web-comic I thought of making long ago, but back then didn't have the confidence in making due to my art skills and feelings toward RWBY back then, so now I've decided to rework on what is potentially my last RWBY-related project due to my desire to work on things I'm more passionate about…by posting it as a barely complete fanfic with some drawings (with maybe some attempts at comic pages)!

So yeah…don't expect this story really be a "traditional" one…as I'm essentially making a collection of scenes I've thought of for my original project both new and old that sort-of connects the entire story…basically think of a car chase scene in a movie but the car chase itself is cut out.

I've had made drawings for the story which you can find either find on r/RWBYcritics or my Deviantart account ( TheOrangeWeeaboo User Profile DeviantArt ) so you can get a better idea of the appearance of some characters (because I can't trust my own ability to describe the appearance of some characters through words)...so anyways if you do somehow find enjoyment in this story, just note that like I mentioned earlier…I am admittedly a lazy person with a job and other things to work on who's also got a quite a bit of anxiety because I'm unsure if I am capable of making anything good and interesting, so it will take awhile for more stuff related to this fanfic to come out.

Fair warning though: I AM making this a horror "story" so there might be some disturbing and scary stuff that will happen in this "story"…so if any of you are sensitive to that sort of stuff, feel free to not read it (though then again I might suck at writing something scary, so maybe what I write will just come off as edgy nonsense).
But regardless, have a fun (or unfun) time reading Ikari: Requiem! (A.K.A RWBY: Ikari Behind the scenes/Writer's cut/lost story/whatever floats your boat)

(Extra notes - No, this story isn't connected to my previous RWBY fanfic "Nothingness" and that fanfic is never getting a sequel)
