So... To be clear, I'm not referring to a visual novel with a romantic style, but rather an entry into personal interactions as well as secrets that are revealed. It's basically equivalent to a novel that is published periodically; the only difference is that, since I honestly don't want to write as a typical SCP tale that much, not in the way I like. It would mainly be with illustrations and things like that, since lately I've also been quite addicted to visual novels and I like the integration of music, sound effects and illustrations.
But the problem is that I have no experience with it, I don't know how to use a program like this, and honestly I also think this would be more of a task for several people rather than just one, because I know a friend who is making a visual novelty and just for the first episode, it already took him almost half a year. So yes, it seems a bit overwhelming to me.
Advice, help, or questions are welcome. If you want to know a little more about the alternate universe, let me know. For now, I can only tell you that it is mostly focused on Alpha 9 set in Broken Mascarade, but mostly ignores what is written on the SCP wiki, only saving Iris and Sophia Light as how they were on the wiki page...
I remember hearing about it before, but haven't been able to find it.
We know that the operator attacks people directly, turning them into the worst part of themselves; that is to say, Jay and Alex weren't going to become exactly the same type of person, but rather the worst type they could possibly become.
On one hand, we know that Jay was about to escape the Operator on several occasions in the first season. When he reaches the end and admits that he is much better than before, he suddenly decides to return to help Alex, which makes any kind of logical reasoning he has from that point on now become irrational or blinded by the simple fact of wanting to continue without any apparent reason. Even in the miniseries we can see that of the two, he is the only one who was able to continue with his life thanks to leaving the Rosswood area.
Alex, on the other hand, had a slightly more difficult time. We know that the operator was present during his childhood, and after that, as filming progressed, he became increasingly irritable. At a certain point, he left Rosswood, and at the end of the first season, we see that he maintains a somewhat more serene attitude, at least not as much as the Alex we would see in the second and third seasons. This would change precisely before Amy's death, where Alex directly becomes the worst part of himself. It should be emphasized that before, in the first season, he hadn't actually killed anyone; it wasn't until the second season that he started. In the Rosswood miniseries we can also observe how the subject did not abandon any of his most negative activities. And yes, this can be explained simply as Alex being an idiot; however, it must also be emphasized that before that there was no indication that Alex was that type of person while they were planning Marble Hornets.
Brian, on the other hand, is the best example to defend this point. The guy was practically a ray of sunshine; that is, he was constantly playing, quite friendly, very empathetic, joked a lot, and at the same time seemed like a very good person. The shock of suddenly observing his personality as Hoodie in what remained of the series is simply a 180-degree turn. Timothy even describes it as a shell of what it once was, similar to what was going to happen to Alex. Her audio went from being a simple revenge to something more irrational in volume 3.5 of the comics where he is willing to kill himself just so that Alex stays there, which in itself was already done.
But then we have Tim, someone who, as we know, already had a rather serious psychological history prior to the series, seemingly schizophrenia, and also this medical condition whose name I don't recall, but which physically prevents him from feeling happiness. In other words, this guy was already dealing with some mental health issues back then, so it's no surprise that the operator had more trouble trying to control him. Even in the miniseries, it's implied that since he couldn't control him, he simply killed him or took him away. Instead of being controlled by the operator, his mind fragmented into the dissociative personality of Masky, which, by the way, is one of the most realistic portrayals of dissociative personality I've seen in a long time. In contrast, in the original series we see that he managed to evade the operator for quite some time, thanks to the pills.
We can see a similar effect in the comics, at least in a somewhat more rushed way, with Adam, who had already been infected due to Jay's YouTube series, and Jessica, who, thanks to the medical treatment she was receiving, was also able to survive for quite some time without even knowing about the operator's existence.
In summary, everyone was more susceptible to losing their sanity than the operator, while Tim, because he had not only been dealing with similar problems before, but was also already prepared with defense mechanisms for it, was able to survive.
*You're in a closed room; the echo is inaudible due to the sound suppressors. The door opens, and the director enters, awkwardly carrying a camera and tripod.*
Ugh, this thing... Hey! Hi! Thanks for coming, I didn't think...
*He trips and almost drops the equipment.*
Uhm! Almost... No-no, I'm fine. Don't worry. I... I didn't think anyone would respond to the call. I mean, a poster asking for actors and actresses for a school project isn't suspicious at all, is it? ... Well, it's easier now that I already know you. Small world, I guess...
I hope I'm not a bother to you today... We'll finish quickly! Don't worry...
*The director positions the camera, seemingly focused on making sure everything is in order.*
Let's see, this here... Maybe the aperture... No, too much... Or maybe if I lower the ISO... Oh! Excuse me! Could you stand on the set in front of the camera? Please. I need to see that this is in focus...
*You walk to the front of the set, your footsteps passing over a wooden floor and onto what sounds like carpeting. It's actually part of the fabric for the makeshift green screen.*
Um... Maybe... you should take off your shoes. That fabric is hard to wash...
*You do as he says, taking off your shoes and leaving them to the side. Once you're in front, the director adjusts the camera.*
Now, much better... Let's see... OH yes! Much better. Now. Do you need anything? A vocal warm-up? Water? Cookies? Um...?
*You ask about other members of the production team besides him.*
Oh no, I'm alone. I had a crew, but the cameraman kept getting right in front of the lens... Hehe, that crazy guy. Anyway, I decided to work alone, and the others went to their own setups. I know... it's not the best first impression... (I know stubborn directors who started out like this) but I assure you, I'll try to be as professional as possible... Oh, and don't worry about talking. I'll cut the audio in post-production so I can give you directions properly, okay?
*You nod*
Great! Let's start when you're ready... Wait, already? Wow, that's fast... I like it! Okay, sorry. Ahem...
*The camera is turned on with a click and a BEEP sound. The director clears his throat and mentally muses over what to ask you to do first*
Okay. Let's start with a scene of suppressed rage, shall we? ... Right. I want you to look closely at the camera. Neutral expression, no thoughts in your mind... Now, imagine something crossing your path, something you don't like, but don't say anything yet! Pretend. Try to hide your expression... Good... Now, the more you look at it, the more uncomfortable it makes you. Hold your breath; your words want to come out, but you won't let them! Now try to look relaxed. Whatever you saw is looking at you, but you don't want to let it know you dislike it. Okay? Good, pretend... pretend... pretend, as if you don't care... Smile, a friendly expression... Now it's turned away! It's not looking at you anymore! Relax your face, let it go... Good...
Now you're sure they won't look at you anymore... You can return to your honest expression, show your disgust... your anger... your rage... That person did something to you, or is doing something you hate... You're no longer relaxed, you're tense, you want to hit them, knock their teeth out, but you can't! Your eyes speak for you, your brow furrows... your grimace twists. No, no, don't force it, let your face speak for you. Bring it out from your heart, but don't speak it, contain it in your expression... Good! A vacant stare, look directly at the camera... You hate them... you hate them deeply, you wish this person ill. Stay calm... There's only resentment in that expression of yours... Good...
Stay...
Stay...
Stay a little longer... And then a comfort comes to your mind. An idea! A terrible, Machiavellian idea! Relax your expression... You think about the satisfaction you'd get if that happened to this guy, if someone did that to him... No... if YOU did that to him... And your grimace twists, you try to hide a smile... But the feeling is too strong... You can't hide it, your brow furrows but your mouth contorts into a crooked smile...
*The director seems to be enjoying your expression a little too much. His tone of voice gets lost in the moment, as if he's no longer giving orders but narrating*
Oh... how you're indulging your imagination... Show your teeth a little... Now close your lips, you try to hide it again...
*The director realizes what he is doing*
Oh my god. Excuse me...
*The director steps aside the camera and cover his mouth with shame*
I'm sorry... I'm sorry, you did good, you did very good! Is just... I wasn't expecting it to be THAT good, hehe... Sorry...
* The director clears his throat once again and returns to the previous position*
Let's do... Something else, ok? Maybe... Maybe a test of horror! Yes! A terror expression out of a movie monster encounter! Are you ok with the idea...? ¡Good! Fine, let's do it... Ahem...
*The director keeps silence until something comes to the brain...*
You're calm. You're not expecting anything... I'd even say... bored... Something catches your attention... Something out of the corner of your eye... You don't see anything out of the ordinary and you return to your original position... Okay, and now...
*The director snaps his fingers to the opposite side from where you were looking*
Something sounded over here! You can't see anything, but you know something sounded... You're uneasy, now you don't know what to expect, goosebumps, your senses are on high alert. You're in danger alert mode, your breathing becomes slow, heavy but slow, as if you don't even trust your own lungs... You don't know where it will come from... And now look at the camera. There it is.
...
Don't move! You don't know if it will attack you or not... Open your eyes. You can't believe what you're seeing! You don't know how to process the fact that this is real. Is it even real?!
And it's slowly advancing toward you... You don't know how to react. There's no escape. You try to look away, but your eyes refuse to look away... It's terrifying! It's horrible! It's unnatural, but you don't know how to react. Deny reality, try to deny it! You can't! It's impossible! FINALLY, YOU ARE ABLE TO LOOK AWAY, COVER YOUR EYES AND SCREAM, SCREAM WITH ALL YOUR SOUL!!!
*When you scream, it's so terrifying that the director immediately jumps out from behind the camera and runs towards you.*
OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, I'm so sorry! Are you okay? Is something wrong? Did...? Did I...?
*Suddenly, he realizes you were acting. You're almost laughing embarrassingly that you convinced him you were in danger.*
Oh... OH... Hehe... my bad. Wow, you did really well... I even saw you shed a few tears... How did you do that?
*You explain your method.*
Oh wow... I hadn't even thought of that possibility. That's... pretty good, actually... Hey, did you have any experience with this before?
*You answer.*
Damn, it comes naturally to you. I'm sure you'd have a future in acting...
*There's a slightly awkward silence between you and the director. As if neither of you knows how to continue the conversation.*
Um... well! If that's necessary, we should keep practicing, okay? I... um... I'll go back to my post.
*The director is getting nervous.*
Okay, then... Um... Could we do something like... romantic-? God, I know it's silly, but... well, people like it. Do you have... a problem with that...?
*You shake your head.*
Good! Um... okay, let's start, okay?
Okay, so... I need you to look directly at the camera, okay? There's nothing else in your line of sight... Um, if you don't mind, I'll step out from behind the camera, just, well... to guide you better, okay? Yes, well, I'll continue... Ahem... Look at the camera... You see someone you like... Think about... What do you like about a person? Their body, their hair, their eyes, something physical... Maybe...? And start analyzing it. Not lustfully, just... look at them and think that they are unique. Analyze their features, they are... unique among all other people, you couldn't find those characteristics in anyone else... The way they stand, the way they dress... The... um... The...
*You asked the director for indications*
Yes, yes, I'm sorry, I... I got distracted, that's all. Think about... His eyes... the shape of them, the corner of his mouth. Think that there's only... one person in the world who's like that... Think that... he's the most wonderful person you've ever seen. You enjoy the sight of him, that's all... you don't want to do more, because you know it would be inappropriate, but... but you like him, you like looking at him, you like admiring him, and you like him... You like them. I-It's a first impression, it's stupid, only you understand this feeling, but it's a great first impression...
*The director voice becomes monotonous, as if lost in himself on the thoughts*
You just realized what you said... You laugh at yourself, but it's a quiet chuckle. You're just... glad you came to that conclusion... You understand yourself much better. You don't know much about this person, but you want to... get to know them better...
You exhale, your emotions pouring from your chest... And then that person looks at you. Break eye contact. You're embarrassed... But you liked it...
*Now the Director it's embarrassed*
...I think we can leave it at that...
*The director turned the camera off with a BEEP sound. The director sounds a little more curt than before, but you can tell he's embarrassed to speak to you now.*
I uh... Thank you for helping me... I um... I'm gonna send you the final result, ok? I... I hope you like it. I really do...
*There is an ackward silence*
I um... I would like to work further with you. I don't know if you have an issue with that but... I just think you are great at acting! That's all... Yeah... Thank you for helping me, again. I... shouldn't say that again, right?
*You reassure the director, confirming that you want to continue working on more of their projects in the future*
Hehe... Thank you. I'll let you know if anything new comes. Ok? I um... I'm gonna pack everything. You can go now... and... Um... Have a nice day?
*The director laughs sheepishly.*
Yeah, bye...
*You stepped out of the room, close the door behind you, but you could hear the Director behind the door still speaking*
Waoh... Ok, calm down... Ypu still have to do this... Phew...
After five years, I have to say goodbye again to the children I wrote while I was confined in quarantine, and this time I went with all I got with its sequel. I feel quite proud of what I achieved and would love to be able to share this with more people.
I leave you here the link to AO3, inside you will also find the link to Wattpad, but I warn you that everything is in Spanish, so it is better to read it with Google Translate activated, just in case.
I sincerely hope you enjoy it. I've put my soul into this thing and it's been one of the most brutal writing experiences I've had in many years.
Oh, and in retrospect, you don't need to read the previous part to read this one. I just realized when I finished it XD
I just think it's funny
I just think it's funny
I mean, invisible women, similar backstories. This is casuality or something else?
Crossover idea. Just imagine it.
