Symphony in Fortissimo Agitando - Chapter 1

“...r-r-res...starting…”

And all at once, Marina effortlessly and slowly raised herself, or rather, lifted herself, without any help from her hands, or legs, or anything at all. She was floating, higher than the Pearl drone, with her limbs dropping like a dead weight, mimicking the ones of a doll.

Before they could say anything, her suit turned on like it had been filled with LEDs: a shiny and bright neon color covered the octoling’s body. With a smooth synchronized motion, Marina placed her hands in the air, open palms upwards, and fixed her position in space to face them. She looked like an ascended being, almost religious figure; a familiar pose that all of them recognized from the battle.

The drone started losing height, until its propellers were stuck on the sand, but Pearl did not care in the slightest about it. 

“Marina…?”

Eight couldn’t say anything, thinking in despair that her entry for this day in the memory book was going to be longer than she had previously imagined.

Acht thought that her “friend” was seriously getting on her nerves now, with every single thing happening inside of this place being her fault, and now even this to grind on her gears?! Gimme a break…

Marina wasn’t either thinking, or feeling, or willing to speak (unless prompted to do so) anymore. There was no longer any need to, for her mind already knew what to say, as it was programmed to perfection.

“Agitando unit… online."

I’d like to personally thank my friend @nipotazzi for being the one to have helped me on my AU!

> They helped out with proofreading and offering ideas on both the upcoming fanfic and AU overall!

> I also proofread their fanfic “Symphony in Fortissimo” (check out their fanfic!)

Here’s two pieces of fanart I made for their AU (note: their Agitando design was updated, so my fanart is a bit outdated 😅)

But yea, I am very grateful to have Nipo work alongside me in developing this AU!

Symphony in Fortissimo Agitando - Chapter 3

The drone growled, ready to fend for her delusions, but before she could start a fight again, she was distracted.

“Wait- Eight? Eight! What’s wrong? you ok?”

The octoling had finally reached them, and she was sporting an uncharacteristically frightened face. She was outright panicking, and this triggered Pearl’s motherly sense. She HATED the fact that she couldn’t pat her head for comfort, right now.

“Eight! Eight! Uhh, everyone, stand back, give her space!”

“Wait, she’s trying to say something!”

The octoling was now gasping for air: Eight tried and tried, but all that came out of her mouth were exhales. She couldn’t tell them of the approaching danger, and Pearl kept increasing her levels of worry. Usually Marina was there to help her out for any kind of emotional outbursts that Eight might have had.

Speaking of her, the Agitando had broken sight on Acht, and focused on Eight. The machine did not understand her current struggle, and simply kept watching, still smiling, and waiting for orders. Eight felt this overbearing presence on her left, and raised her gaze: what exchanged it back were the cold and lifeless eyes of her octoling mother;  her infinitely sinuous pupils had been replaced with a squared version of an infinite, and the clearly fake smile couldn’t hide the lack of a soul behind that gaze, which seemed judgemental, disgusted even, to look at her. Marina was still in danger despite all of their struggles.

She would have saved her, SHE HAD TO.

Symphony in Fortissimo Agitando - Chapter 2:

Pearl went ahead inside of the building before them, because she wanted to make sure that it was actually safe. Thanks to a quick scan, the drone confirmed that the place was devoid of living creatures, and thus invited the others in.

“House’s clean. Get inside!”

Acht and Eight quickly obeyed, and after passing through the hole, they finally felt somewhat safer. Eight was about to help Marina sit on a pile of snow, but before she could do that, her eyes had suddenly lighted up, scaring the young octoling.

“Asset manipulated without authorization: repairing node function activated.”

“Uh? Wha-”

Before Pearl could end her sentence, they all saw how the debris of the fallen wall started flickering, and after a few seconds, reassembled themselves back onto the place in which they belonged. Any damage dealt to it had been restored almost instantly. 

Darkness quickly fell upon them, with only Marina and Pearl acting as illumination through their unnatural luminescence. They all immediately looked in the direction of the octoling at fault, worried expressions forming on their faces. Acht instinctively made a dreadful expression, and when they realized it, immediately forced themselves to a neutral expression again. The low visibility allowed them to hide it just in time.

“Uhm… Eight?

The scared girl looked at her robotic adoptive figure, pleading with her eyes. 

“Put her down… and come here, very slowly… we’ll… we’ll figure something out…”

Eight slowly let go of Marina, who had already started moving into a fetal position on the ground. The Agitando made her rock back and forth, repeating the same phrase over and over about how a user was necessary to fix a poorly explained issue. 

Acht, Pearl and Eight were now in the corner, confabulating on what happened and on what they could do to help, checking up on her at a steady pace.

“So… we all agree that she sounds an awful lot like a computer, right?” Acht intervened, “No emotion in her voice, typical software-to-user lexicon… ”  

The drone and Eight nodded. They were knowledgeable enough to recognize at least the basics of computer language, but this did not lessen any amount of the worry that they were proving.

“But that's impossible! With the tower gone, it should be over! She can't be…”

“Then why is she still talking like a DOS screen?”

They all turned around to look at her for a moment, and then returned to face each other. 

“...a DOS that seems to be inputting their own commands independently too… Marina still has the master control on the simulation, but she’s not herself: there couldn't be a more dangerous combination at the moment.”

“Wait, are you saying that…?”

“Look… best case scenario, this is just the result of having all of that data flow through her brain. She might come back to her senses, eventually, but If that's not the case… I fear that whatever that contraption might have done, it's still here. Inside of her."

She knows

[nipotazzi]

Everyone, meet Forty-two!

She's an OC I made for my fic; a jelleton that obtained sentientce like all the other programs and AIs after the event of "The Great Awakening." She's autistic-coded, young, recently became joyful and ready to live her life thanks to the help of her teacher, has an obsession for real and living creatures (or as the denizens of the Memverse call them, Beyonders), she looks like a mix of an inkling and octoling kid, with a white and black body.

Her semi-humanoid form is the result of both her passion and also an emotional outburst about her own sense of self being discovered, which lead to giving her an unstable melting form that sometimes leaks black ink, and that she can change and shape as she likes it!

This is only an early design for now, but I'm very satisfied with her implementation and idea in the first mini_log of the tales from the memverse series I started inside of my main fic, SIFA!

Remember to leave a comment! Your feedback is always appreciated!

The Spectre of 0rD3r

[nipotazzi]

Forty-two tried sleeping for the very first time after she begged her teacher, Miss π, to teach it to her... And found out that she is absolutely not a morning person (she's just like me fr fr).

Abigail Forty-two is an awakened jelleton, one of the many denizens of the Memverse who gained sentience during the "great awakening", and gained this form thanks to her passion for real world creatures and some words of encouragement from her teacher.

The roly-poly toy that she's holding is called Spiraly, and only a dreaming mind can know of its true nature...

She decided to wear a pj to get the full experience, despite the fact that she goes around her daily life completely shirtless. The digital people have yet to learn that clothes aren't just for making fashion statements... but at least no one finds her bony and transparent body weird here.

Recently, she added a beauty mark to her face in order to look more like her newfound big sister, a very special person that she has met on very unique occasions...

She eepy, but also don't need to sleep. Weird, right?
