"After its first resounding scream, the ship surprised me by leaning into her, and whispering, beyond my hearing. At first, they exchanged whispers, every so often directing a glance my way."

Happy @springfest-rote! It's my first RotE fest. How lucky I was, to be paired with @willowjh, who has written something so achingly beautiful, so full of yearning. I have not felt inspired like this in a while.

Please read @willowjh 's incredible Springfest story, The Lame Stride, on AO3 + a bonus illustration there ;]

[vandaliatraveler]

There's nothing quite like a drenching spring rain, dripping from countless branches and soaking rock and humus. Each time a breeze wafts through the new spring canopy, a luminous green and trembling being, and shakes loose the clinging rain, I imagine the earth cleansing itself and embracing a timeless act of renewal. Appalachia's forests are being reborn.

Sydney: SKUNK HAIR. I DUNNO HOW I FORGOT ABOUT THAT YUMMY DYE STYLE. SYDNEY IM SORRY. i completely forgot i wanted to still have her natural hair (also just made pink bc teehee i like whimsy) to show

Whitney: not much changed besides the hair style. completely forgot i wanted her to be super gyaru OTL. gave her cheek piercings bc they're cute :3

Harper: wanted to make her look a little inhuman??? i think i got it with how dead her skin looks idk. also wanted her to look like a little shit

Wren: thought a side shave would make her look cooler

Mickey: hairstyle changed a little. other than that, not much changed

Morgan: still a wet rat

Ivory Wraith: nothing changed (they have special eyes tho)

[natjennie]

I love the tiny little lines in ghosts that really show just how thoroughly of their time period they are. like kitty's "pineapple, goodness no! they were wealthy but they weren't royalty!" and everyone being enamored by the shiny circle and julian going "it's a compact disc" completely unimpressed, and pat's "that is the front bit of a television. don't know where the back bit is, but that's the front!" like. something about the casualness of lines like that where they're just so completely them, fully realized characters from the get go. it's so good.

DoL x Outlast Trials

Reader (you, your); Avery, Kylar, Whitney, Wren, Remy, Robin, Bailey, Sydney, Harper, Doren, Winter, Sirris, Mason, River, Ivory Wraith, Leighton, Briar, Eden, Alex, Jordan, Landry, Niki, Darryl, Anxious Guard, Relaxed Guard, Methodical Guard, Veteran Guard (they/them)

No real structure, just ramblin

Thaaaaank yooooou 🩷 @letstalktea 🩷 for yappin with me abt this :3

Contents: implied dub and noncon but nothing explicit; canon typical violence for outlast? Nothing real explicit

Words: ~2.1k

Avery

Prime asset Avery who doesn't have a weapon, not like the others. Just their own two hands. A mother/father "figure." You just have to submit to their every whim. It could be so enjoyable for you if you learned how to just grin and bear it. Balancing getting caught by Avery, risking their wrath, with the stamps and coins you sometimes find stuffed in your pockets after encounters.

God, berserker Avery? Raging constantly. (As they all do but it somehow feels extra with Avery.) Reaching and grabbing and pulling. Manages to get you under them, breathing ragged as they grip you by the calves. Maybe, maybe, maybe, if you relax in their hold, let them spread your legs uncomfortably wide and slot themself between your thighs, they'll let you leave when they're done with you. Or, well, toss you to the side and let you drag yourself into a corner to recover? At least this way you'll survive.

Kylar

Kylar is just another regent, small and easily overlooked. So quiet, all the time. You don't expect them to corner you during a trial, thought it unfathomable that someone like them could overpower you. Yet now here you are, trying to hold back any sounds that try to escape you because it's better to let Kylar do what they want, small hands tucked between your thighs and stuttered breaths in your ear, then get caught. Helps (“helps”) that they use the barricade rig, keeping you somewhat trapped/protected. Kylar is also scarry good at knowing when someone is an imposter, but only for you. That fact seemed odd before they cornered you.

Whitney

Whitney as a regent. Fucking cunt who won't come to your rescue during a trial even though they have the stun rig maxed out. Unless, of course, you'll give them head in when in the common areas. Jokes about striking up a deal with "That freak, baby boots" and there is a non zero chance that cocaine has actually gone missing during Barbi's trials. Has done lewd poses with the mannequins, especially on Gooseberry levels. Has died the most to Coyle. Takes way too many dumb risks trying to taunt the officer. You have strong arm Whitney, your bricks break after one hit idiot.

Whitney as a berserker, though. Hmmmm.

Wren

Wreeeeen. Appearing in odd trials. How did they get here? Oh, they have their ways. Cool smiles and sharp eyes. Trades you for this and that. Technically a regent but you hardly ever see them in the sleep quarters, you've never run a trial with them, and the ex-pop don't seem to mind them that much. You've never seen them with a Prime Asset, tho. They seem to swap between having a jammer rig and a blinding rig, a good tell for when they're hanging around a trial is if you spot a green mine and you know you and none of the other regents in the trial have placed one yet. They also like to hang around bonus rooms. Pure vibes: feel like the Pitcher would either never enter the trial while you're near Wren or seems to always come into the trial when you decide to meet Wren. No in between.

Remy

Prime asset Remy, whip in hand as they stalk after disobedient cattle. Il Bambino is a top client of theirs, trials decorated similarly yet Remy's cattle seem more...cared for. Donated on, even. You could be like them, much better off than some of the other fates that could await you, hm? Oddly enough, it seems Wren is more likely to show up in Remy's trials…

Robin

Screamer Robin. They just, they need to sleep. Please let them sleep. They really, really don't mean to lash out at you when they're startled awake. But it....it feels so good to have you against them. Please, just let them keep you here, just for a bit. And if...if you feel them pressing against you, their hips rocking, don't pay it any mind.

Regent Robin switches between healing rig and jammer. Always tries to be helpful regardless of their relations with other regents but their spirit slowly gets whittled away. You gotta check in on them.

Bailey

Hehe, Bailey. Prime asset Bailey who claims you owe them a long overdue debt and they'll take it out of your hide. I know it's canon that Bailey has a gun but God, brass knuckles? More limited in their reach but extra dangerous up close. Might just let you slip away if you offer up an item they like. Might not. Doesn't hurt to find out though, does it? (It does) Shares the orphanage living space with Gooseberry.

Or regent Bailey. Shakes you down in the sleep quarters. They have an "in" with the guards, make sure your sweet ass doesn't get put into too many trials. Or, so they say.

Sydney

Sydney. Sweet, sweet regent Sydney. Shaking as they run up to you, squirming in a prime asset's grip, to slam their healing rig. Sprints with you to cover so you can get the most out of their rig, slipping into a double locker with you, their hands shaking as they find yours in the dark. They almost give your position away when you bring their hand up to your mouth, lips brushing over their slender fingers, and they involuntarily take in a sharp breath. They seem extra nervous in trials where they know Leighton is around and will stick closer to you during them.

Harper

Harper as the gasser, of course. Excuse me, Pusher, or whatever. (I don't believe your medical degree is valid and you can't convince me otherwise.) But, well, the gas is a last option for them. They'd rather pin you down, force you to watch their pen sway back and forth. Look into their eyes, listen to their voice. You're doing so, so well in the trials. You'll continue to do well, won't you? But first be a dear for them and open your mouth on three...two...one, there we go.

Ooooor regent Harper. They hypnotise fellow regents but they seem to take a particular fondness for you. They usually use their skills in hypnotism to protect themself, make other regents more likely to protect them. But you? They like making you wonder away from others during the trial, seek out a safe place where you greet Harper with dazed smiles and spread legs. The researchers keep a close eye on them, seeing how Harper's hypnotism interacts with their programming. Harper would favor the blinding rig, I thinks.

Ivory Wraith

Ivory as the Skinner Man when you do get gassed by Harper. Rip

Teachers

Idk WHERE the teachers are, maybe part of the Murkoff staff?

Doren

I know in my heart of hearts Doren gets a good laugh if they hear someone call Franco Barbi “baby shoes, never worn.” i think they'd be keeping track of regents with big “personalities.” Maybe also provide “literature” for regents to consume in the sleeping quarters.

Winter

Winter helps set up the traps. Has some more “unusual” that they'd like to try. Some regents can volunteer with their traps testing for a few extra stamps and maybe a few less trials for a couple of days.

Mason

Mason, Mason, Mason. A young researcher? Makes the physical hazards (toxic shock, winter kills)?

River

River is so calm and collected when they're working but jumps when a regent throws themself at the gate toward them. Can fight off regents but they can't look them in the eyes after witnessing some of the things the regents go through in the trials.

Sirris

Mmmm, Sirris watching their own child go through the trials? No, I doubt it. If Sirris is a researcher then Sydney is like, an intern or something. Sirris makes the gas. Sydney as an intern seems to be a bit too….interested in the regents and Sirris tries to keep them from the areas where there's only simple fencing keeping the regents separated from the researchers.

If Sydney was somehow a regent while Sirris was a researcher, they'd keep an extra close eye on them. Especially when Sydney seems to take a liking to you. They almost think it a bit of a shame how regents are sterilized on intake but, hm, well, there are probably was to reverse it if the need arose somehow.

The teachers attitudes toward you change depending on your actions. Volunteer for Winter's tests; do well in Mason's environments; read Doren's propaganda books; don't throw yourself at River or maybe yank back a regent who tries; get used to Sirri's drug (and hope they never see you trying to interact with Sydney)

Leighton

Yeah they're decoupled from the teachers, sorry?

Fuck me, Leighton as a prime asset. The Headteacher, here to set you on a path of morals or however Murkoff wants to spin it. I think they'd share the orphanage’s school area with Gooseberry. Weapon is a paddle ><

Or, fuck me, Leighton as a night hunter? Singing “do you see what I see” as they pull you over a knee.

Head researcher Leighton. Keeping all the other teacher/researchers in check. Enough power to pull out regents from Gen pop for their own “tests"

Briar

Goddddd Briar. Yeah, they're still running a brothel. Fork over some stamps, some tokens, whatever you've got, and they'll tell you what you can afford. They…still seem to have their wine. They've gotta know someone, have some connections (Leighton). And they'll use those connections against you if they think you're cheating them. Their brothel gig isn't…technically sanctioned, but it's pointedly ignored. Besides, easier for the doctors to keep tabs on who is fucking who if there's a brothel like set up going. Though, really, they don't want there to be any sex among the regents at all. The brothel also helps keep tabs on who's still seeking out sex with fellow regents.

Mmmmm, or prime asset Briar? Trying to drag an ungrateful whore back to where they belong? Probably has bits and pieces of connections to the other Prime Assets in one way or another. It'd be so so fucking funny if their weapon was a pimp cane oh my god.

Eden

Eden as a night hunter :3 fucking kicks down doors every single time. Doesn't matter if it's locked or not. Extra rough when they grab you, tending to haul you over their shoulder and take you further into their sanctuary of shadows. They want you disoriented.

Alex

Alex as another regent. Also a stun rig user but more likely they'll come help you out even if you're not on the best of terms. Seems to have a harder time in Remy's trials.

Jordan

Jordan, Jordan, Jordan. Hm. Prime asset. Bringing you into the right religious path. Their weapon is a flog that seems just as much for self flagellation. Shares the Gooseberry's chapple at the orphanage. The worst part is Jordan seems so…nice. They're truly sincere in their want to “help you.” Violently jerks away from you if you grab at your chest or slot a leg between their thighs. Seems to stun them as bad as a full power stun rig. Though, They turn extra violent for a duration.

Guards

Oh, the Prison Guards work as Murkoff guards.

Anxious

Cooing at Anxious to come a bit closer to the fence, you won't bite.

Relaxed

Relaxed almost right against the fence, smiling wide.

Methodical

Methodical seemingly watching you without interest. You can read them easier over time.

Veteran

Veteran sneering as the push you away from trying to reach through the fence.

Darryl

Darryl 🥺 Regent? Kind, but their freeze response is so strong you often have to help them out of trouble. Switches between rigs but favors blinding and x-ray. More likely to use the x-ray rig if Leighton is a night hunter.

Or, a grabber (puncer? Is that theor offical name?). Reaching out from under desks, jumping from barrels, lurching from lockers and closets. Stay with them. Don't leave them. Please, please. No, no, don't scream, don't cry. Don't bring someone else here. Just, stay with them?

Landry

Landry could work similarly to Dorris. Though, I think it'd be interesting if they had you looking for certain things in trials, lil side objectives (Do your dailies fokes) for them to either pay you or maybe slip you a few exclusive amps. Maybe even a prescription. Or straight up lore files too, I'd take that.

Niki

You spot Niki around, on the other side of the glass. They always have a camera around their neck, expression blank as they move around the facilities. They're rarely seen in trials, but they pop in from time to time. Sometimes photographs are needed, and Niki has to be close by. That doesn't fully explain why sometimes you think you see them pointing their camera at you while you're in the sleep quarters and common areas…

[teamdesert6]

How have the Huckleberrys been you ask? WELL--

[lobo-inu]

hi lobo i love u u are cool. i wish to hear about robin. does he collect anything?

it's only natural for him, as much as he denies it:

he specifically enjoys collecting amethyst, coins, keys and locks, jewelry, windchimes and bells, fabrics, colorful glass, and anything of his favorite color, purple! 💜

Because someday we will wake from our dreams!
