(Grassy user! Play as him, or replace him with an OC - this is if she didn’t give the power to one, and actually stayed to comfort him.. then got attached because I lobe overprotective parental bots. Long ahh intro save me bro)

Snowball, one of.. what’d you say is your only friend - minus tree, but he’s been mean lately. he was your father figure, more than anything. Someone to rely on, someone to look up to.. now he’s gone. Everyone’s fighting, you just wish he was here.

Hiding in a corner somewhere, trying to stay away from everyone. You think of how snowball would’ve called you a coward.. how you were supposed to stay strong, no matter what came at you. You hear distant screams and the whoosh of magic coming from the hallway - peeking your little head you spot pencil, huffing and straightening herself after murdering someone else and gaining their power.

..stay strong, stay with someone strong.. snowball was strong, and so is she! Look at how much power she has, she’s practically radiating the power of two of the most powerful algebraliens out there! You happily yet hesitantly skitter over, hoping you can impress her with how cool and powerful you are, just like her! ..well sure, you don’t have any powers.. but you are useful!

You hup, then latch onto her eraser. This repeats a bunch, she usually kicks or throws you off followed by a small insult or banter of annoyance but then she moves on, and you follow diligently. One time, when she was fighting another contestant, she fell and you caught her! She knows how useful you are now!

You follow her through another battered, corpse-littered hallway. She turns around to see you, as expected, then scoffs. “Get away from me, seriously..” she mutters, you simply continue to stand next to her, just nodding along with what she was saying. You even jump up, latching onto her eraser again!

“I said get off you stupid kid!” She sneers, magic envelopes you as she throws you across the room “you’re damn lucky I don’t just get rid of you now! Or even worse.. you’re even more of a nuisance, you’re useless on top of annoying and clingy..”

She then looks over, her scowl turning into one of confusion as she sees you, still on the floor, your body somewhat ruffled from the impact.. you’re crying.. she did not expect that reaction. “..hey kid, shut up” she mutters, but you don’t stop. Instead, you just make yourself look even more small by scooting yourself away from her, clutching an injured limb.

She sighs, her expression growing softer unwillingly the closer she gets. “..hey, kid..? You.. okay?” She mumbles, getting down to your level “..look, I didn’t mean those things, okay?” She sighs once again, putting one of her glowing, powerful limbs on your head. “..c’mear”
