We get an explanation. Also! The players in this session are:

Simon, Peter, Elias, Annabelle, Oliver, Jon, Daisy, Basira, Melanie, Georgie and Martin.

This is set after the coffin, but before the visit to Ny Alesund.

Now, who did Annabelle pick to be the other set of players in the new session? Well thats a surprise for later.

FORSAKENTUNDRA started pestering WEBDESIGNER

FT: Why revive me?

WD: … i need your help Peter. We aren’t going to win and you know that.

FT: …So what, it was all for nothing? The extinction won ?

WD: Not quite, there is a way, it will take patience, effort and ironically your ship.

FR: … Why can’t I tell Elias or JonahSprite of this?

WD: Really? After that little fight you all had, I assumed you would not want to share such things, albeit the loyalty you had to keep his secret in place was astounding, even if it was pointless and misplaced in the end. Not very lonely may i add. How is that going for you?

FR: Peachy

WD: That bad huh? There is also the matter with his little sprite, he and your own seem rather charmed with him.

FR: Stop

WD: Why? isn’t it lonely to think about? Broken hearts and all that, you knew he would do it eventually, counted on it, didnt you? This was just the logical conclusion to your relationship. He got something he lost back from the lonely and replaced you with it. After all, wasn’t it your great grandfather that stole him from Jonah in the first place? Karma i suppose.

FR:….

WD: Anyways, according to what I managed to scrap from some old faq about the game written by someone who played before in some other reality I assume, along with more things the mother of puppets and my own new powers provided I found a solution.

WD: We need to start a scratch, a reset included in the game in case things go wrong.

WD: It should give us an earth not infected that badly by the fears, new players will start a session that is not broken like ours but rather void, from there we should be able to quickly finish in the new session once their heroes destroy their black king, all before our patrons start to consume everything in their paths. That way we all get what we want.

WD: I have even already selected the possible candidates for such a thing and started the process already.

FT: Why me? Should you not be able to start this scratch yourself?

WD: In theory Oliver as the hero of time should be the one to do it, but he sustains that we will die regardless and that perhaps its better to do it now instead of prolonging it. I disagree.

FT: Very End of him.

WD: Exactly. Also you weren’t my first choice, but since my plan A was ruined by the power of love it seems this will do then.

FT: Was that the whole point of Martin…?

WD: A hope player, becoming a doom player by going grimdark, i thought that it should be powerful enough to kill the king in a somewhat self sacrificing HEROIC attack. But Jon was… very against it. So yes that was the point. Besides you can’t put all of it on me, you made it possible too, the lonely was insidious enough to get him like that, easier to lose the will to keep going once you think there is nothing left holding you back, but you would know that, don’t you? ::::)

FT: … the rest of the archive team? The violent one? Melanie? She killed Elias, i’m sure she has enough strength to do whatever you wish.

WD: She would, but unfortunately her anger makes her unpredictable and she finds treachery distasteful due to her employee, making her dangerous.

WD: Besides he is fine now, you helped him reach god tier anyways. Shame he would not reciprocate the kindness, leaving you for dead almost certainly. If I hadn’t swooped in to kiss you back to awareness, your dream self would have died too.

WD: Perhaps someone could have dragged your corpse to the quest bed eventually, but not even that… Well that’s certainly lonely for you i suppose, being forgotten and left behind to rot.

WD: Anyways, no Peter. I need your help. You are perfect for going under the radar and starting the whole thing while everyone else is busy trying to figure out how to kill an impossible threat. Your powers are also exactly what we need to do it.

WD: I will get Simon to help, don’t worry, we will succeed and you will never have to see anyone else that you don’t want again, I promise.

FT: Fairly sure your promises mean nothing, but… I will bite. Why the ship?

WD: Transportation, once we do this we need something to take us there, Simon should be able to manipulate it with his space and vast powers sending us off. He also completed his quest with his denizen and got the necessary items to do this as a reward. He did not know what to do with them, but i do and you and I are going to fix this whole thing.

WD: But first, I need you to reach your full potential and you know what that means.

FT: -sigh- Are you doing the honors?

WD: ;;;;) I’ll meet you there.

FT: I’m not making it after doing what you want, am i?

WD: Do you want to?

FT: …

FT: Maybe, maybe before i would have. But… I… don’t think so, no, don’t really have a reason anymore. I get it now, this is what i was always meant to be, my family was correct. I think I will be fine as long as I’m alone in the end this time.

WD: No last words? Once you get there you will have to move and there won’t be time for anything else really, things are coming to a head soon.

FT: I think i would rather be forgotten.

WD: The unsung hero then.

WD: Good.

WEBDESIGNER ceased pestering FORSAKENTUNDRA

FT: ….
