me, an embarrassing nerd: haha wouldn't it be weird if i was Horny About Controller Rebinds wouldn't that be wild

(i actually did rebind my controls this way 'cos i'm one of those quickboost on L1/left bumper sickos, and there's something kind of nice about using that little r1+square pinch motion instead of 'ah yes i will mash on all the designated Gun Buttons on the controller at once.'

of course, i thought about just buying a fancy controller with back buttons, but i did not have the stomach to spend two hundred united states dollars on a single controller. ;; still, though! the thought inspired me to make dumb hypnofic jokes, and that's what counts.)

idk if this will hit as well as the first, but i thought it could be fun to take my time instead of just going like.....one chapter of ac pastiche and waking-world bits per chapter of fic?

thank you atl, breeze, bug, melody, and rose for input and encouragement!!

(a safety-yellow silhouette of one shadow-puppet proposing to another. in place of a ring, the puppet presents the object of its affections with what looks like a robloxcore RPG-7, every part save the warhead evoking a cobbled-together tinkertoy. a speech balloon above the blushing bride-to-be reads, “REJOICE AND DELIGHT!”)

the first foe falls without much pageantry or preamble. it’s a pitiful woman in a gown of scrap, half-dreaming and half-dreamed.

(it’s funny, really. they call it left trigger, right trigger, but the process of pulling it’s nothing like its namesake. instead….)

you crook your finger just so, gentle and deliberate.

a giddy tremor travels through you, lighting you up hips to heart, far more full-body than even the EDGE PRO ELITE CONTROLLER’s VIBEZONE RUMBLE TECH could manage.

red letters pulse in the corner of your eye.

the round cycles. you sink back in your seat and s i g h, glowy and spellbound, taking the drifty moment between quickboosts to bask.

(maybe this is why everyone says “zimmermans op pls nerf.”)

your shotguns shear off half its license to linger on this side of wakefulness in two shots. left arm, right arm. crook. clench.

(when you unload your back units, it feels less like a coup-de-grace and more like…..

well.

you don’t remember rebinding the controls, but the thumb-and-forefinger pinch comes naturally. less haphazardly mashing shoulder buttons in a manic moment of triumph, more an innocuous trained reflex.)

pop. pop. pop. pop. the world slows down. something in your belly flutters and joyously spirals. you start to wonder if you’re really awake.

(a lazy drawl that lingers, echoing in your thoughts.)

"oh, tourist’s underselling you."

"still, though. it’s bad news if the RaD Tourism Board gets too restless."

"see you at the parade?"

[an interlude.]

dramatis personae:

the emblem of a photorealistic gummy worm, at once both devouring itself and – if you let your eyes unfocus just so – birthing something new. core designation JUST DESSERTS.
