Elle: hello?
Elle: hello?
Elle: hello?
Aqua has joined the Node!
Elle: hello
Aqua: Is this a dream?
Aqua: Have I lost my mind?
Aqua: It would not surprise me; I know not how long I've been wandering.
Elle: I don't know
Elle: who are you?
Aqua: My name is Master Aqua. Although, I suppose that title is less important now than it ever has been.
Elle: my name is Elle
Elle: it is nice to meet you Master Aqua
Aqua: Well met, to you as well.
pNorthwest has joined the Node!
Aqua: Assuming you are not, in truth, some desperate hallucination.
pNorthwest: Hey! Don't you dare call me a hallucination!
pNorthwest: Who are you people anyway, and what are you doing in my head?
Aqua: I don't suppose you have any idea.
pNorthwest: No, but I intend to find out!
pNorthwest: No one messes with Pacifica Northwest and gets away with it!
pNorthwest: Hey! Whoever's in charge here, can I pay you to go away? I'm, like, busy here!
Elle: how much do you have?
pNorthwest: More than you can even comprehend!
Elle: really
Elle: I can comprehend a lot
Elle: expensive
pNorthwest: Girl, please. You can't even afford a proper last name.
Elle: can too!
pNorthwest: Let alone the prestige and fame that comes with mine!
Aqua: Children, we mustn't squabble.
pNorthwest: She started it!
Elle: how old do you think I am?
Aqua: None of us know for what purpose our minds have been linked here.
Aqua: Bickering and sniping at each other will do no good.
Aqua: If someone is in charge of this, they have not shown themselves.
pNorthwest: True, I guess.
pNorthwest: If they do though…
Aqua: Personally, I welcome your presumably existent company.
Aqua: Time seems to have no meaning here, but I believe I have not spoken with another being for more than a decade.
Aqua: So please, do not hesitate to stay and speak.
Aqua: Please.
Aqua: Hello?
Elle: I'm still here
Elle: sorry
Elle: bad day
Elle: but I'll be here
Elle: whenever I can
Aqua: Thank you, Elle.
Elle: no problem
Elle: hello?

Aqua: Pacifica? I have a question.
pNorthwest: Oh?
pNorthwest: By the way, I'm sorry for, uh, ignoring you for a minute there.
pNorthwest: I was throwing myself the grandest of pity-parties.
pNorthwest: Like, in comparison to being alone for a decade?
pNorthwest: That little kerfuffle was nothing.
Aqua: I was just about to ask.
Aqua: What were you busy doing?
pNorthwest: Gnome attack.
Aqua: Ah. Gnomes.
Elle: gnomes?
Elle: fairy tale things?
pNorthwest: Tiny men in pointy red hats. They wanted pie. Susan would like to sell that pie.
Aqua: I need no further explanation.
pNorthwest: That's great. Would've not had a fun time trying.
pNorthwest: …Where did they even get that snowblower?
pNorthwest: Oh?

vDallon joined the Node!
Aqua: A fourth? Welcome.
vDallon: Hello. This is some sort of telepathic
vDallon: Chatting service? Is that right?
vDallon: And apparently there's a backlog. Give me a minute
pNorthwest: Oh, a fellow last-name haver! Congratulations, you get to join me in that particular club.
Elle: Dallon
Elle: first name?
vDallon: Victoria.
Elle: oh
Elle: hello
vDallon: Alright, I think I'm done
vDallon: Each of you is verifiably from a different world. Except for Elle, who has issues with lucidity
Elle: good day today
Elle: sorry
vDallon: You don't need to apologize
Aqua: It is a pleasure to meet you, Victoria Dallon.
Aqua: A fourth? Welcome.

Elle: good day today
Elle: sorry
vDallon: You don't need to apologize
Aqua: It is a pleasure to meet you, Victoria Dallon.
Aqua: It is worth noting that this world I am trapped in is not my home.
Aqua: It has been a long time since I've seen the Land of Departure.
Aqua: I have instead spent far too much time in the space between worlds. A place where the shadows cast firmness upon the land, rather than the opposite.
Aqua: To call the ever-present darkness in this realm thereof "encroaching" would do it a disservice. It has always, forever, been here.
Aqua: And so long as I am without my Keyblade, I can never leave.
Elle: a bad place
pNorthwest: Yeah, that, uh, sucks.
vDallon: Is there anything we can do to help?
vDallon: Because, to put it bluntly? It would fucking suck if there was nothing we could do
Aqua: Your company, already, has been more than I could ever ask for.
Aqua: And without an understanding of worlds beyond your own, I hesitate to even ask for assistance in releasing me from this one.
Aqua: Can you find a key without even knowing where the door is?
vDallon: Other worlds, huh? We've discovered alternate Earths, built portals between them. Refugees flock to Earth Gimel by the thousands, even still
pNorthwest: I know a friend who knows a grand-uncle who wandered between worlds for a long time! Maybe he could help!
Elle: I can try to find it
Aqua: Thank you. From the bottom of my heart.
Aqua: May your efforts bear fruit.

Aqua: May your efforts bear fruit.
pNorthwest: So, just checking… Aqua isn't, like, some horrible, primordial being being kept in check by a seal of light, right?
pNorthwest: She wouldn't be lying to us right?
Aqua: I suppose there is little I can do to assuage that fear.
Aqua: But when I was free and roaming the worlds, I was considered a Keyblade Master.
Aqua: I fought the darkness. I tried to help the righteous, and my friends.
Aqua: I did not always succeed, but I promise I am not lying.
vDallon: …Bad things happen to good people, Pacifica
pNorthwest: I know! I know!
pNorthwest: …I've been tricked once before, is all. It's just…
pNorthwest: Ugh!
pNorthwest: Never mind!
pNorthwest: I'll talk to Professor Pines once he gets back from the Arctic.
pNorthwest: He'll know better than me, anyway.

pNorthwest: Professor Ford has been to Earth Bet!
pNorthwest: And, you won't believe this, this is insane.
pNorthwest: Aqua, you said you came from Radiant Garden?
Aqua: Not quite. It is simply a world of many happy memories for me.
pNorthwest: Well he's been there too!
pNorthwest: Apparently it's called Hollow Bastion now, but who cares!
pNorthwest: He seems kinda hesitant to make new portals now, after what happened with the last one (Weirdmageddon)
pNorthwest: But he thinks a one-way portal might be manageable!
vDallon: I still cannot believe the man is not a tinker, with all the things he's purportedly done.
pNorthwest: Blame the weirdness!
pNorthwest: Aqua, we're so close to getting you out of there, just you wait.
pNorthwest: And then you can finally pay me back for all of my precious words of wisdom.
pNorthwest: Probably like ten thousand dollars!
Aqua: How much is that in munny?
pNorthwest: …Never mind.

pNorthwest: He'll know better than me, anyway.
pNorthwest: Well that was certainly a rant.
pNorthwest: Victoria just kept going on and on about parahumans and superheroes and capes and powers. Were you as lost as I was?
Aqua: Yes.
Aqua: I wander this desolate sea, lost among chattering voices in a language I cannot decipher.
pNorthwest: I meant, like, whatever she and Elle were talking about.
Aqua: Yes.
Aqua: I wander this desolate sea, lost among chattering voices in a language I cannot decipher.
pNorthwest: Oh, so now you've got jokes.

Elle: my name is Elle Fitts now
Elle: told you I can too afford a last name
Elle: I have an ID now and everything
pNorthwest: Congratulations?
vDallon: Congratulations.
Elle: thank you gg
vDallon: …gg?
Aqua: Is there a meaning behind your choice?
Elle: Melanie's last name
Elle: she's not my mom
Elle: but she might as well be
Elle: like family
Elle: being with her crew I've never felt more cared for
Elle: told you I can too afford a last name
Elle: I have an ID now and everything
pNorthwest: Congratulations?

Elle: being with her crew I've never felt more cared for
vDallon: …Okay. I've had a suspicion for awhile now
vDallon: Your periods of lucidity seem strangely inconsistent. You avoid talking about your world, about mine
vDallon: You recognized my name, almost called me Glory Girl.
vDallon: You know about parahumans, powers. Trigger events
vDallon: Elle
vDallon: You know me, don't you?
Elle: kinda
vDallon: You're from my world. Earth Gimel.
Elle: no
Elle: never heard of Gimel
Elle: I'm sorry
Elle: but I think I know why
Elle: what year is it for you?
vDallon: 2015
Elle: 2011
Elle: Earth Bet
Elle: Brockton Bay
vDallon: …You're shitting me
vDallon: You're from the past?
Elle: you mentioned Palanquin could make portals
Elle: is that what Faultline calls us in the future?
Elle: Faultline's Crew?
Elle: is she still okay?
Elle: did she survive Gold Morning?

Elle: Faultline and Gregor are mad
Elle: fedora woman came by like you said
Elle: whatever she told them they are not happy
vDallon: I can't speak for Cauldron four years ago, but I imagine it had something to do with a litany of human rights violations, abuse of power, corruption at every level of every organized group, and throughout it all, the greater good
vDallon: …Ugh, I can't even say they were wrong, in the end. Scion… would not have been defeated, in my timeline, without them. Without the benefit of foreknowledge
vDallon: Hopefully it goes better in yours
Elle: Newter is here now
Elle: he's upset too
Elle: but he's acting like nothing's wrong
Elle: I hate this
Aqua: No matter how long it takes, the light always prevails over the darkness.
Aqua: You'll be alright, someday.

pNorthwest: All this stuff about worlds and hearts , like, fates and stuff, honestly a lot of it goes over my head.
pNorthwest: Like, I kinda tried to save the world once?
pNorthwest: But it didn't work so, like, whatever?
pNorthwest: Things have quieted down now. Super normal, for whatever counts for Gravity Falls normal.
pNorthwest: Just need to worry about things like my pony, my hair, and not getting eaten by the Multi-Bear.
pNorthwest: So excuse me if I don't know what to say when the rest of you get into all that stuff of literal cosmic proportions!
pNorthwest: My greatest strength is that I'm rich.
pNorthwest: And I have connections.
pNorthwest: Doctor Pines will be back in the States in, like, a week?
pNorthwest: And he, like, kinda doesn't exactly completely hate me?
pNorthwest: He's a genius. So he can help.
pNorthwest: Probably.
pNorthwest: …
pNorthwest: I waited too long and everyone went to sleep.
pNorthwest: Great job, Pacifica.

Aqua: This realm of shadows seems endlessly vast… yet, I can always return to this pale shore.
Elle: you know my power?
Aqua: I am familiar with its broad strokes. A limited ability to shape the world around you.
vDallon: …I hate to interject, but calling a Shaker 12 limited feels like calling a trigger event "traumatic."
Elle: please Victoria
vDallon: Sorry, go on.
Elle: describe more
Elle: feel
Elle: touch
Elle: this is a very bad day
pNorthwest: Uh, if you're having such a bad day, maybe take a rest?
Elle: bad day means power stronger
Elle: worst day means
Elle: see more
Elle: do more
Aqua: It is a cloying, crushing feeling, pressing down eternally.
Aqua: I walk on the surface of an endless ocean of darkness, watching stones and foundations of worlds long swallowed by it peek above.
Aqua: It tries to creep in. To taint me, to absorb me into the whole. To drown my heart in sorrow and loss.
Aqua: It matters not whether I stand on the shore or the sea. The realm is vast beyond end, and yet all of it the same. A prison, for the only Keyblade Master foolish enough to become trapped here.
Aqua: I hope that is enough for you, Elle. I apologize I cannot provide more, but this much is exhausting already.
Elle: thanks
Elle: looking

Elle: looking
vDallon: I hate to burst Labyrinth's bubble, but I need to warn you, Aqua, that this probably isn't going to work
vDallon: I've got the notes on her power pulled up here, as collated by the PRT
vDallon: She overlays realities of her own creation upon the area around her, with a growing area of effect as she stays still
vDallon: Yes, it's possible for her to create permanent, long-lasting portals to other Earths. But they're just that: other Earths
vDallon: In addition, doing so requires an additional power with Trump aspects included, capable of "puncturing" her realities. Scrub was one such candidate
vDallon: But, judging by your timeline, he hasn't even triggered yet
vDallon: …I'm guessing maybe Ashley could do the same thing—Damsel of Distress? They share quite a few similarities in their powersets
vDallon: Her original incarnation should still be alive, actually. But I don't think she'd be willing to work with Palanquin
Aqua: I appreciate the effort nonetheless. Even if there is only a slim chance of this working, I would not complain.
Aqua: Hold on. I see something.
Elle: took a long time
Elle: but I think I got it
Elle: very bad place
Aqua: Is that you, Elle?

vDallon: My team and I finally got to talk to Faultline. Elusive
vDallon: I… couldn't really pay for her services, I'm sorry to say, Aqua
vDallon: But I told her, to the best of my ability, that I was in contact with a past version of Labyrinth, and that of all things seemed to get through to her
vDallon: I'm surprised she believed me
vDallon: She wants to know if Elle is doing alright.
Elle: told you
Elle: family
Elle: best I could ever ask for
Elle: helped me control my power
Elle: is future me happy too?
vDallon: From what I could tell, she looked like it
vDallon: I think I caught her—you? On a good day
vDallon: I gave her the written description of the Realm of Darkness. If all goes well, Scrub should be able to punch a hole through there
vDallon: The portal won't be temporary, transient
vDallon: And you should be free.
Aqua: Thank you once again.
vDallon: …I'm guessing it will take much longer
vDallon: She has no emotional connection to you, which I believe helped our Elle
vDallon: I… couldn't really pay for her services, I'm sorry to say, Aqua
vDallon: But I told her, to the best of my ability, that I was in contact with a past version of Labyrinth, and that of all things seemed to get through to her

pNorthwest: Probably like ten thousand dollars!
Aqua: How much is that in munny?
pNorthwest: …Never mind.
Aqua: Is that Ansem?
Aqua: And… Terra!
Aqua: I need to go help them!
pNorthwest: Didn't you say your combat abilities were pretty much in the dumps without a Keyblade?
Aqua: As powerless as I may be, I will not stand by while my friends are in danger!
vDallon: I get that. Good luck
Elle: stay safe
Aqua: And… Terra!
Aqua: I need to go help them!

Next chapter is still being written. But I blame Elle for distracting me long enough to get this done, for a certain definition of done. It's unedited, filler-less, useless, and pointless.
This bit of stupidity has absolutely no bearing on the main fic. It's just something dumb someone joked about in an idea thread that I eventually wrote a year later.
There's probably some stupid mechanics and further plotting here I could ramble about, but I can't be assed to do it here. If you want to know, I'll answer questions individually.
Happy 2025.
