I tried re-reading the stuff in the Holders Series again. For those unfamiliar, it's an SCP-esque horror site about collecting 538 objects that will end the world if brought together. Each of them has extremely specific instructions for how to acquire them that generally fit to site cliches. Some are good, some are hilariously awful.

This is in the latter category:

quote:

Holder of Innocence

In any city, in any country, go to any mental institution or halfway house you can get yourself to. When you reach the front desk, ask with no hesitation to visit someone who calls himself "The Holder of Innocence." The worker will say nothing, but a single tear should fall from her eye.

She will guide you to a forgotten hallway in an abandoned wing of the run-down institution. She will not enter the hall with you, but will only look into your eyes with a cautious hope, her own expression seeming to beg for salvation. Should you enter the hall, you will not see much, save for the dirty, broken fragments of what were once beautifully carved ivory statuettes. Before long, you will hear a soft whimper from the other side. Pay close attention, for if the whimper stops, then all hope is already lost. There is no use in running away.

As you turn the handle of the simple wooden door on the other side, a warm and cozy light will greet your face. You will find yourself in the bedroom of a young girl of eighteen years. The girl herself will be sitting cross-legged on the floor at the foot of the bed, her only garment an open night-robe, exposing the entirety of her pure body. She is the source of the tortured whimpers, and nothing you say to console her will end her torrent of stifled wails.

Only, if you ask her "What happened when it was first created?" she will become silent to glance up towards your face. Her beauty will render you breathless, and if you are still capable of any thought it will be only the realization that in her you see everything in this world that you truly love. Suddenly, you will realize that the girl is bleeding from her nether regions as a grotesque phallus emerges from the petit orifice between her legs. The object will pulsate with its own life, and you will find that it is hypnotizing you. Do not look away, for you do not wish to try its patience.

Soon, the room will disappear before your eyes, and you will be standing in the most serene clearing you have ever witnessed, and all of nature's fauna that you recognize will go about their lives around you, with no fear of anything, not even death. Suddenly, though, a shadow will fall over the meadow, and you will witness the forest all around burst into a pillar of flame. What happens next, no man can dwell on for long before going insane, but in the strength of the human mind you will endure. In the end you will hear screams and moans and groans, but what will overcome you more than anything are the quiet whimpers, the stifled cries, of all the sullied innocents of the world that was. You realize that these cries will continue to be heard all across the globe until the world's end. None can endure those near-silent pleas and still maintain the slightest hope for the future.

The illusion will fade, and you will find yourself back in the room. You will find the girl lying dead on the floor, her face a mixture of agony and horror, her already decaying body feeding the now towering phallus and giving it a sinister glow.


That is Object 19 of 538. If you touch it then it will be yours, but if you let it master you then it will use your body to seek and assemble all the pieces, no matter what the cost.

Hate to be that guy, but she goes by female pronouns now.

I only know because there was a corny steampunk lore explanation of why the robot characters transitioned. I don't actually listen to steampunk bands. You have to believe me, guys!

Looking it up on Steam Powered Giraffe Wiki, it seems they've removed it, and now the lore is that the robot was always female. Which is for the better, imo. It was about some malfunctioning steam valves or something. But the rest of the lore still remains extremely corny.

Wrong twin! That's David, who's cis. Bunny, the one who transitioned, is a different character.

The lore is corny because they started out as a pantomime-inspired street busker thing in San Diego and their popularity increased from there. That's also why he does all the weird motions and exaggerated facial expressions. They're cheesy but there's nothing wrong about them and some of their songs are pretty good. Goons just have a bizarre hatred of them that keeps popping up. You can have fun sometimes, guys! It's okay!
