Rain World Friendship Simulator AU- Intro Post

Friendship Simulator is a Rain World AU that's basically just a slice of life/sitcom type thing. After Enot's campaign, she was sent to not a void where she could attempt to flirt with other slugcats, but a nice, comforting place where all the other scugs went. They all hang out as friends and get up to silly shenanigans

That's pretty much it! Just a calm, relaxed, goofy little AU. There are no real ships, and Enot is on the younger side here, which is why it's Friendship Sim. Occasionally some other folks other than just the main 9 slugcats are there

And here's all the refs!

Enot (she/her) is happy, cheerful, yet deeply emotional younger slugcat who cares a lot for her friends. She gets very excited about things, and just as she does that, Enot also feels horrible when she messes something up. Her goal is to make friends with everyone, and make everyone be friends with each other, to have some happiness and everyone's lives. She's also basically just me projecting on to a character I really like

Monk (he/him) is slightly nervous, but bubbly and full of love for the world. Karma flowers seem to grow on him, and he hands them out to everyone. Usually he stays close to Survivor, but is also good friends with Enot and really looks up to Saint

Survivor (they/them) is quiet, thoughtful, and caring. They don't talk often, but really open up to their closest friends out of the group, and especially to their younger brother

Hunter (she/her) is brave and tough with a heart of gold. She'll step in to solve arguments amongst the rest of the slugcats, and isn't afraid to fight if need be. She's in a platonic relationship with Artificer. The rot on her isn't going to kill her anymore, because the Friendship Sim Zone is a safe space from harm

Gourmand (he/him) is loving of everyone. He's always there to talk to whoever needs it, and loves telling stories, both real and made up. He's the designated chef, and makes food exactly how all this friends like it

Artificer (she/her) is sarcastic, standoffish, and snappy. She rarely opens up at all, even though everyone knows what she's been through. Hunter is the only one who she actually gets her problems out with. She's adopted Enot as a new child because Enot lost her parents and Artificer lost her children. Artificer is also the only one (besides Saint) to know that Enot also lost her brother Nightcat in a terrible accident. But Hunter and Enot are the only ones she shows her sensitive side to

Rivulet (he/it) is energetic and rambunctious and says terrifying things and doesn't know how terrifying they are. "Haha yeah, so I was sprinting through Five Pebbles and there were two huge Long Legs chasing me! One of them grabbed me and starting dragging me through narrow tunnels and I dropped the Rarefaction Cell an- what do you mean that isn't normal?" He's very friendly, but most of the older slugcats get worn out by its energy very fast

Spearmaster (he/him) is solemn and soft-spoken most of the time, but does get excited about things that interest him. He makes a lot of art in his free time, often showcasing it to everyone... except Enot. They have a very rocky relationship, with Enot always seeming to be able to catch him at the worst times possible when Spearmaster is in a terrible mood. He doesn't hate her though. He just thinks her positivity and long-winded ramblings are the last thing he needs to hear when worrying about Seven Red Suns

Saint (he/they) is calm and collected, offering advice and concern to everyone. He isn't a fan of Artificer, due to her Karma issues, or Gourmand because of his rejection of ascension, but less so with him. They're unable to achieve perfect attunement in the Friendship Sim Zone for safety reasons. Saint is aware of Enot's brother, due to what happened to him, but has never told her about it

Below the cut are the refs for the iterators, who stop by sometimes, and Enot's older brother Nightcat, and what happened with them!

The iterators pop by occasionally, most to check up on their emotional support slugcat. Moon is the most frequent visitor, since all of the scugs love her, and Pebbles the least common, because he has work to do. Moon will bring in fun little things for the slugcats that have floated into her chamber, Sig will sneak them some games that were left up in his city, Suns mostly just stays with Spearmaster, and Pebbles will monolouge at whatever slugcat he's decided he's mad at today before leaving in the most dramatic fashion possible

Nightcat is a terrifying, ghost story cryptid. He mostly lives in Rubicon where he died, slinking around, but will occasionally make visits to the surface world on the darkest of nights. He seldom speaks, except for faint whispers in the caverns of Rubicon. He guides lost and wayward souls to the Void Sea, although rude slugpups turn this into him snatching up anyone he can and throwing them into the Void Fluid

Enot and Nightcat before their Rubicon incident

When the two were young, their parents died in an accident trying to get them to a shelter. They had run through a Scavenger Toll with no pearls to offer, and were chased after. Their mother was killed almost immediately, and their father pierced with a spear. He managed to lead them to a shelter before collapsing, but there was nothing either of them could do. Afterwards, they had to fend for themselves against the cruelty of the world. Nightcat, being the older one, was usually in charge

One day, when wandering in the depths of Subterranean, Nightcat found a deep, deep hole, and suggested to Enot that they should explore it. They both jumped down, and ended up not in the Depths, but Rubicon, despite neither of them having max Karma

They carefully tip-toed around the dangerous region, both desperate to get back out. They were attacked by all of the terrifying creatures that lived there, but using the incredible power of fire spears, were able to defend themselves...

Until a Miros Vulture swooped down

Nightcat picked up a nearly golden fire spear that seemed to have been submerged in Void Fluid at some point, and tried to throw it, only to realize the Void Fluid was making it stick to his hands. So he had to fight the Miros Vulture in close combat, until Enot threw a rock at its head that knocked it off balance and caused it to fly back up. Nightcat bent down to dip the spear in the Void Fluid around the small patch of land they were on to hopefully fully dissolve it and free his hands, when the Miros Vulture came back. It pointed its laser at Enot, and Nightcat jumped in front of her, pushing her away and being blasted backwards into the Void Fluid, quickly vanishing beneath the golden water

Enot had never been filled with so much rage. In her fury, she leapt at the Miros Vulture, clawing and biting at it. She sunk her teeth into the softest part of its neck, and it collapsed. She stood over its body, and took a bite out of it. Behind her, a Guardian approached, and pointed a long tendril at her. She fell down with a thud as the body of the Miros Vulture disappeared, and felt like she was burning. The Guardian dropped her Karma down to two, since what had transpired had been out of love, although of a different kind than what two implies. It burned the symbol into her, and she was brought back to way above Rubicon, at the edge of Outer Expanse. She looked much different than before, and had woken up with weird colors, strange eyes, the Karma two symbol burnt into her chest, and a weird egg in her hand. Now alone, Enot reflected on everything, and decided to do everything in her power to make herself happy

Nightcat on the other hand, suffered a much worse fate

He was completely submerged in Void Fluid in seconds, and couldn't drop the spear to swim. He tried, and as he did, stabbed himself through the stomach with it. He was finally able to let go of it, but fell down into the golden liquid, his last memories flashing before him being him and Enot being happy. As he sunk into the Void Fluid, he didn't turn into an Echo. He became a slender beast with too many arms and legs that moved as silently as a shadow, cursed to lurk in the dark depths of Rubicon, and only sometimes being able to see the real world again. He couldn't move on, but was able to walk the waking world still, as his death had been noble and he had technically died before getting to ascend. He was never able to find Enot again, instead deciding to guide the wayward and abandoned who fell into Rubicon like he had to a better place

Whew! That's pretty much everything. I hope you all enjoy Friendship Simulator!
