    Summary

    After completely and utterly failing the ritual, Sam wakes up in bed exactly one week before the Visitor's arrival.

    With a second chance he never could've expected, he realizes they need to act quickly to protect both the people in their apartment building and outside it.

    He can't mess up. Not again. Not with every person in the world counting on him.

    Summary

    [Video Log – FILE: KE-0001 | Initiated at 15:43 Local Time, Caligo]
    [Footage begins. A soft static whirring, faint mechanical clicks, and ambient room buzz.]
    [CAMERA ON.]
    Click.

    A faint mechanical whirr. A slight stutter of static. Then, the feed kicks in—blurry at first, then clearer. The frame jitters with movement.
    “Is it on?”
    Tap. Tap.
    “Did it work? Hello? Hellooo—oh! Oh, it’s working!”
    A young, excited voice, tinged with mechanical undertones: subtle clicks and low shutter-whirrs riding beneath every syllable. The view swings wildly before settling on a dim interior—homey, metal-paneled walls, a low-hanging vine of bioluminescent Protector Root glowing faintly in the corner.
    “Keph? Is everything alright?” his mother called from somewhere off-screen, her tone edged with worry—a sharp contrast to the sheer delight blooming in Keph’s chest.
    He could feel the new system stirring to life within him.
    ---
    Explore the whirring life of Caligo, the maze-like floors of Babel, noisy school halls, and unique holidays through the eyes of a young Shutterbug and his brand new IRIS system.

    Summary

    Dan never got out much. He was a less than average man who streamed as a job and rarely left his post. Day in and day out, he’d give into the safety net and ignore the outside world and its demands. But now, he’s thrust into the real world where he’s forced to find the true meaning to life outside the views of social media.

    Lyle never got out much. He was a less than average man who worked a job and mainly focused on his hobby. For years, he’d give into his urges for comfort and reasons to keep living. But now, he’s thrust into a horrifying reality where consequences finally arise so now there’s much more to hide and even more to atone for.

    What should’ve been two grueling weeks where the two should hold nothing but disdain or amusement for each other isn’t so. A chain reaction of events forces the two to work together for better and worse and ultimately changes the outcome of the whole group’s trials and tribulations.

    Summary

    Short (?) story about some unfortunate guy turning into everyone's favorite telescope over the course of two months

    Warnings for body horror (shit gets real by chapter 3) and paranoid tendencies, kind of the stuff to be expected in a story about a guy turning into telescopes i guess

    there's a few more specific things that will be mentioned on the notes at the start of every chapter (although the first 2 are relatively mild)

    Summary

    Yes the title choice is based off of the animatic

    ————

    Sam never considered himself a particularly religious guy, nor a conspiracy theorist in all honesty...

    Joining a group which combined both those things was a jarring experience! The end of the world can't truly be real though, can it? He's not even allowed to look at this supposed Visitor, for god's (or is it Visitor's now?) sake!

    Sam had left already, and anyways, it's not like this stuff was real...

    (This fic is on HIATUS! Super busy with life so expect slow uploads, but uploads nonetheless!)
