How far have you fallen?

Do you even remember?

Have you forgotten me?”

[This roleplay is a slight continuation/sequel/prequel to my old roleplay that was launched in 2023, going by the same name. Since the second part is taking longer that I anticipated, and because I have free time, I figured that I’d start a segment of the story with a friend. :>
I would not recommend joining this roleplay if you’d take a disliking to the countless references to TEOAE, the chaos, and the huge amount of lore. If you still wish to sign up, please send me a palpad/private message and I’ll consider! I don’t wish for the forum to become cluttered with sign-ups scattered across the place. ^^”
Please note that I’m only accepting 5 characters in, which means one per-person :>]

I… I miss you. I don’t know where you are, or what they did with you, but I miss you a lot.
Please… come back. I don’t care when. I just… I just want to see you again.
I-“
Ping regained his consciousness, awaking to find his chain chomp chewing the zip on his hoodie. Calmly, he sighed and snapped his fingers, causing his weapon friend to disappear.
“I… uugh, where am I…? Weren’t we in the forest not long ago? How did I end up…”
He glanced around himself. Unfortunately, he didn’t know the word to describe where he was. Ping squinted at the body of water which went as far as the eye could see before looking at the floor and picking up some of the sand, watching it sift through his hand and fall gently onto the floor.
He giggled and picked up more, seemingly intrigued by the minerals.
Ping seemed so interested in the sand that he remained oblivious to the scene that was to occur shortly…

Tex rushed through the forest, unaware or uncaring of their surroundings. This exact thing was what has caused them to trip over a root, falling from the bushes into the sand. While jolly to find something that wasn’t just endless green, the happiness quickly left their face as surprise took over. They didn’t expect to find anyone else here; { Mind: Whuh…? What is this weird thing? Or is it a person? } they’d think, blinded by confusion. The Glowiie stared at Ping for a longer while, yet to say anything.
(”Wasn’t that… blue before…?”)
He glanced to his side, finding a path leading to a forest not so far, with a large amount of dark grey pine trees behind it, standing proudly in the abysmal sunlight.
Ping got to his feet. He could’ve sworn he saw something blue fly out of the trees…
As he walked closer, it seemed evident that it was another life-form. He opened his mouth a little, moving his sharp, razor-like teeth away from each other for a moment. He shoved his hand in his mouth anxiously and glanced around, not knowing how to introduce himself.
After all, it had been… at least a year since he last communicated to anyone.

(“Just… s-say something to them…
W-What did she say t-to you… when she u-used to see you e-every morning…?”)
A memory floated into Ping’s mind, and he smiled faintly. He looked at the creature and waved slightly.
“S… Seasons… g-greet…ings…?”

“I… yes, they indeed have…! I.. I’m Ping…! It’s… it’s a delightful occurrence that our paths have c-crossed, sir.”
He seemed to have reorganised himself quickly and gazed out to the lake with Tex, oblivious to the figure watching over him.

(“You idiot.”)
“Aah… s-sorry Chompy, I should’ve thought that was to end like this…”
(“Should’ve thought that before you summoned me, idiot.”)
“I s-said sorry-!”
Ping slowly stood up and snapped his fingers, causing his weapon friend to disappear. He slowly turned towards the lake, nervously tugging at his hair.
