Stories From the Ctp Archives... Entry #3, He's Gone...
Only warning I have here is just mentions of desperation no gore this time! :D
?: And here I thought I'd never smoke...
?2: Look Lagstep, I understand you want to find him but-
L: No Soip, I'm sick of hearing the same old "Oh we'll never find him" you jackass!
So: Lagstep! You have to understand, we have little to no trace of him! We don't even know if he looked different before he went missing...
L: Actually we do have a lead on that.
So: W- What?
L: Some fella named Altirtrix actually saw him before he went missing during the night... To think that was 5 days ago...
So: Well, what did he look like?
L: Altirtrix said Ą̵̂͜e̸͎̼͂t̴̖͐͗͜r̴̙̈ǘ̵̦́l̸͓̤͘ had what seemed to be a glitchy looking affect on him, and his head seemed to be encapsulated in darkness... However Altirtrix never got to get a look at Ą̵̂͜e̸͎̼͂t̴̖͐͗͜r̴̙̈ǘ̵̦́l̸͓̤͘'s face...
So: That- That sounds like some fucking horror movie shit! No way we're going after Ą̵̂͜e̸͎̼͂t̴̖͐͗͜r̴̙̈ǘ̵̦́l̸͓̤͘ right?
L: What do you think fuckface?
So: *sigh* god... Lagstep... Look lets say we do look for Ą̵̂͜e̸͎̼͂t̴̖͐͗͜r̴̙̈ǘ̵̦́l̸͓̤͘-
L: -Which we will
So: -Where the hell would we look, who the hell would we talk to?
L: Look, I know I don't have all the information right now... But we will find Ą̵̂͜e̸͎̼͂t̴̖͐͗͜r̴̙̈ǘ̵̦́l̸͓̤͘... Or my name isn't Lagstep Jay Rhodes...
So: Wait that's your name?

C: LAGSTEP! LAGSTEP! I FOUND IT! I FOUND A LEAD HAHAH YES!
L: Wait you did!?
C: YES! I asked around about the thing you were told, and someone saw a figure that is similar to your description!!! HAHAH! We're gonna get Ą̵̂͜e̸͎̼͂t̴̖͐͗͜r̴̙̈ǘ̵̦́l̸͓̤͘ back! We're gonna get Ą̵̂͜e̸͎̼͂t̴̖͐͗͜r̴̙̈ǘ̵̦́l̸͓̤͘ back!
L: ... Welp... Tell Soip, the three of us go out on our expedition tomorrow...
?: Hold on...
C&L: Hm?
Sa: I'm coming too...
C: Sains? But-
Sa: Yes, I'm still a bit torn up by his disappearance but if there is even a chance we could find him, I'm coming along...
C: But Sains, we need people to stay here in case Oblivion or-
Sa: Dude, there's enough people here, they'll be fine...
L: God, Sains you were always so stubborn. Come on then, lets go in the morning.

That morning...

L: So does everyone understand how we are gonna do this?
So: Yes.
Sa: Affirmative.
C: Yep...
L: Alright lets follow this lead, Coolguy you know the way...
The team of 4 travelled all day, sometimes stopping to rest on the way. They all vowed to never give up, no matter the cost and no matter the fuss. The journey would be perilous and dangerous to pursue, but the brave team of 4 will uncover the truth...
As the 3rd day passes with the rising sun, Sains notices movement and readies his gun.
Sa: Guys, get up.
C: Ugh... Wh- What...?
So: hmmm?
L: What's up Sains...
Sa: I think I see Ą̵̂͜e̸͎̼͂t̴̖͐͗͜r̴̙̈ǘ̵̦́l̸͓̤͘!
L: W- WHAT!?
As the party went to look. They saw their friend, or what use to be their friend.
A single cycloptic eye, darkened head, glitchy particles floating around them.. It was Ą̵̂͜e̸͎̼͂t̴̖͐͗͜r̴̙̈ǘ̵̦́l̸͓̤͘... Or what was left of them...
Ą̵̂͜e̸͎̼͂t̴̖͐͗͜r̴̙̈ǘ̵̦́l̸͓̤͘: What brings thou here?
L: Ą̵̂͜e̸͎̼͂t̴̖͐͗͜r̴̙̈ǘ̵̦́l̸͓̤͘... What happened?
Ą̵̂͜e̸͎̼͂t̴̖͐͗͜r̴̙̈ǘ̵̦́l̸͓̤͘: I am not Aetrul anymore mortals...
C: W- what?
Ą̵̂͜e̸͎̼͂t̴̖͐͗͜r̴̙̈ǘ̵̦́l̸͓̤͘: Leave now. I am not your lost friend. I am another entity. Claiming this body as mine-own.
L: But-
?: YOU FUCKING FREAKSHOW!
BANG!
Ą̵̂͜e̸͎̼͂t̴̖͐͗͜r̴̙̈ǘ̵̦́l̸͓̤͘: Hm. Interesting tactic. Quite cute, but I must depart mortals. May you never have qualms with me... Otherwise hell will rain on what you love... Goodbye...
L:Ą̵̂͜e̸͎̼͂t̴̖͐͗͜r̴̙̈ǘ̵̦́l̸͓̤͘!
And just like that, they disappeared... And with Aetrul too... The party shuffled home, distraught by the occurrences that took place...
L: I guess... He's gone...
