⏳💫Switch a Loop: An Idea from Loop!💫⏳
*This post reference’s “Memory of Rotting” but is made to leave out some of the more triggering language of that post! Please be mindful of that if you wish to read the aftermath of that post. The aftermath should not be needed to understand this interaction! *
*…
*They didn’t want to leave Siffrin alone, especially after everything that happened…
*But Siffrin is currently resting at the Clocktower, being watched by some of the villagers!
*So it should be fine!
*They hope it will be fine…
*…
*It was dead silent at the Favor Tree…
*Oh Change…
*What could really be said?
*…
*After a while, Loop speaks.
Loop: Now, you may not like this. But, I have an idea of what you could do next.
*Everyone looked at them, hesitantly.
*The party had exhausted every single angle that they could think of. They beat the king, they learned about the curse, the disappeared island, Time Craft and Wish Craft. Now they know how their Looping, but they don’t know why…
*Even worse, Siffrin’s health seemingly taken a deep dive for the worse. They were incomprehensible at the end of that loop. Screaming about the need to wake up and not wanting to be alone.
*Was… Was Siffrin always that loud?
*…
Odile: Well, I think I can speak for everyone saying that we don’t really have any other Ideas. Now do we?
*Isabeau turns away. Bonnie clings to him.
*Mirabelle sighs.
Mirabelle: What is your idea, Loop?
*Loop looks deep in thought.
Loop: Well, You now know that your Traveler is why you are looping, Correct? And everytime they die, talk to the Head HouseMaiden or get upset, You all loop back. And the Head HouseMaiden mentioned something about how the loops were supposed to stop after you beat the King, but the wish was messed up somehow… Not only that, it appears your little Traveler has gone sick! Boy, what a pickle you have all gotten yourself into!
*They all look unimpressed, Loop continues.
Loop: Now… It’s just me spitting-balling, so bear with me! What would happen if the Traveler just… stayed here?
*…
*What?
Isabeau: What do you mean? “If they stayed here?”
*Loop stares at them, unchanged.
Loop: I mean… What if you went to fight the King on your own? Surely, you’re strong enough now… And it’s not like you really need him. You know the Traps, where the keys are, and you should be able to get the key-knife if everything goes to plan…
*…
*WHAT?!
Bonnie: That’s stupid! YOUR STUPID! FRIN IS OUR FRIEND! WE’RE NOT LEAVING HIM BEHIND!
*Loop rolls their eyes.
*Isabeau crosses his arms, glaring at them.
Isabeau: Yea! Sif is part of the team! Sure, they are acting really weird. But, leaving them alone isn’t the best way to fix that!
Odile: Especially after what happened with the Head HouseMaiden. Leaving him alone after that would be extremely irresponsible.
*Mirabelle flinches.
Loop: Well, just make sure to not leave them with anything. It’s not like they’re in any condition to do anything that bad anyway. Come on! This could be the way out! Don’t you think it’s worth a try?
*Isabeau presses his hands on his face.
Isabeau: Change, that is not the point! We can’t just leave him alone! What if they get worse?
Odile: Who will be there to make sure Siffrin won’t hurt themselves?
Bonnie: YEA, DUMMY! WHO?
*…
*Well…
Mirabelle: Loop is here…
*They all turned to her, surprised.
*Loop raises their brow, quizzically.
Loop: Indeed, I am…
*Bonnie dramatically gestures at Loop, annoyed.
Bonnie: WHY? THEY HATE FRIN!!!
*Isabeau stares at her, worried.
Isabeau: Mira, you can’t be serious.
*Mirabelle walks up to Loop, cautiously.
Mirabelle: If Siffrin came looking for us here, would you tell him where we are and why?
*Loop hesitates.
*…
*They put their finger to their chin.
Loop: Hmm, I would… Yes…
*Odile rests her hand on Mirabelle shoulder.
Odile: Look, I understand where you are coming from. But don’t you think we should at least talk about this a little bit?
*Mirabelle snapped.
Mirabelle: You said it yourself! We are fresh out of ideas! I LITERALLY have NO IDEA what to do anymore! I just want this to be over!
*The other’s step back…
Mirabelle: I don’t want you guys to be hurt anymore! I don’t want Siffrin to be sick anymore! I don’t want to keep going if all I ever do is keep failing to keep my home safe! I just can’t take it! I can’t keep failing! I just can’t!
Isabeau: Mira-
*Mirabelle turns to Loop.
Mirabelle: Are you sure this could end the loops?
*Loop stares at her, with an unclear look in their eyes.
Loop: I wouldn’t tell you this, if I wasn’t… I promise you.
*Mirabelle takes a deep breath.
Mirabelle: Look, I don’t like this either. Change, I really don’t want to do this… But what else can we do?
*Everyone is silent…
*…
*Isabeau sighs.
Isabeau: Look, Mira… It’s not that don’t trust you… I am just worried, extremely worried. Like, I am totally freaking out! For you, Sif, Bonnie, Odlie! Change, this is probably the most difficult thing I’ve ever really experienced before! But… You’re right, we are out of ideas… I’m sorry for not thinking about the bigger picture… I’m okay with anything you want to try. I mean, I promised at the start, didn’t I? That I would help you save our home?
Mirabelle: Isa…
*Odile nods.
Odile: And Loop is right… Siffrin is in no condition to fight. It would be too dangerous for them… I guess we can ask the villagers to keep an eye on them, and… Maybe Loop… Although, I would hope that it’s in a more civilized manner than the way then the way they speak of him in private…
Loop: Whaaat? Don’t you trust me? I can behave, I’ll be the nicest you’ve ever seen me be! Honest!
*Odile glares at them, then turns to Mirabelle.
Odile: In other words, I have complete trust in what you do next… We wouldn’t want you to do this alone….
*Bonnie looks to Mirabelle, not sure on this plan.
Bonnie: But… Frin! What if-?
*Mirabelle kneels down to Bonnie, putting her hands on their shoulders.
Mirabelle: If it doesn’t work and we do loop back. We won’t do it again! It will be a one time thing! I promise! We won’t let anything happen to Siffrin… Trust me.
*Bonnie looks down, but then nods.
Bonnie: Okay… I trust you, Belle! But I’m still making “get better soup” for Frin! To be extra sure!
*Mirabelle laughs.
Mirabelle: Of course! Just be careful!
*They all nod.
*Mirabelle looks back at Loop.
Mirabelle: Now, We are trying your idea! But the moment It doesn’t work, we aren’t doing this again!
*Mirabelle looks sternly at them.
Mirabelle: Promise me that you will keep your word and make sure Siffrin doesn’t do anything stupid.
*Loop stares at them…
*Like they were lost in their thoughts…
*….
*Then, they close their eyes.
Loop: You have my word!
