The shattering of glassI. The whistling of wind. The signs that I’ve escaped and I’m going somewhere new. I have no idea where I’m going, but it’s far, far away from here. I look above to see black boxes flying into the sky, fragments of the monotonous voice being heard from it. And then, I hear his true voice, the voice my brain struggles to comprehend. “Goodbye, Von Lycaon,” is the final message he has for me. I’m not sure if I can respond to him, but I muster it up within… “Goodbye, let’s never meet again,” he’ll let me go now. I’ll be free from him in the end. He’ll never, ever see me again. At least, not in this way. If we see each other again, it won’t be by his hand. It’ll be mine or someone else’s.

The true finale.

WARNING: Character: Lyca is approaching edge of map. What? ----- *I'm getting the hell out of here. Von Lycaon. The Lifeguard I'm neither of these things. I spin the wheels of the chair as quickly as they can go, feeling my ponytail catching on the wind. I'm drawing closer to one window that hasn't closed yet. I can hear him calling to me. "Wait Von Lycaon," his voice comes from all around me, "with this decision, I can't guarantee safety." It's a risky option? I kind of expected that in taking it. "Or happiness." Like I want what you define as my happiness. "And..." ----- ERROR: Character: Lyca is leaving the map. Rewriting to adjust for Luca... ... So this is it? His choice? ----- I'm close to it, I can taste the freedom as the world around me collapses. The darkness pushes against my back like it wants me to go faster. "I'll miss you." Damn bastard...

Wait, Lyca, what are you doing-

I’m left there to consider what to do next. Do I go back to the life of Von Lycaon, the butler of Victoria Housekeeping Co, slave to this “Hoyo?” Or do I go back to the lifeguard that was dumb and happy but still under the control of that damn goat? A part of me wishes he never told me at all, just chose for me. This pushes me towards Von Lycaon. But the fact he’s given me a choice is one I shouldn’t squander, it’s a caring decision even if it's through all the pain. This pushes me towards the lifeguard. Von Lycaon. Lifeguard. Von Lycaon. Lifeguard. I don’t want either of them but I must choose. So… I’ve made my decision.

It is not time to take my leave. I can't be here as just being there influences his decision. The avatar begins to leave the simulation. > I shall leave now > so you can decide ----- *I can't just let him leave now. I have so many questions for him. I reach my hand out and grasp his, it's as cold as ice and as giving as iron. "Wait... what about your thoughts?" Slips free from my maw. "I thought I made them clear," he replies, his voice as monotonous and soulless as before. "NO! Not of Von Lycaon! Of me!" I beg him, he created me so he should have feelings regarding me. His silence makes me ask again, "What do you think of me!?" "You are my proudest work," he replies, "and I'm sad," His voice then drops in volume, a waver? "Because things ended up like this. I'll miss you, goodbye." And then he jumps from my grasp, disappearing from my world and leaving into the beyond. I can only watch as he vanishes. Leaving my with my choice.*

*I stand at the cross roads, the large city of New Eridu standing in front of me. The blue goat stands between the two paths to take. To my left stands Rina and Ellen. To my right stands Charles and Gracie. Charles is waving at me. The choice is dawning on me as I stare at the scenario ahead of me. Do I take the life of Von Lycaon, the one ripped away from me? Or do I take the life of Lyca, the life that has been given to me? Do... I have to choose one?*

> And I was right > Look > Here are a couple of artist's thoughts about you. > Ones whom drew you. His eyes scan the page I imported. "Such... varied opinions..." he mumbles. The page holds various opinions of Von Lycaon. Ranging from incredibly in-depth discussions of his story and relationships to just enjoying his design to utter lack of interest. With the explanation out there, he stews on the thoughts involved. "So... is that it? You tell me this and then what?" > You get a choice "A choice? Finally I can make a fucking *decision* with *my life?*" ----- *I am getting so sick and fucking tired of this asshole goat. He made me, put me through hell to learn about me, and NOW I get a choice. I'm angry. I'm frustrated. I'm upset. And I'm not real. So why should he bother to give me a choice?* ----- > Yes, you do > And after you make your choice, you won't see me again, I'll be gone from your life like a specter. > Like a bad dream. > And like with most bad dreams. > You'll forget when you wake up. "I'll forget huh?" > Update Character Privileges What Character shall have their Privileges updated? > Lyca What level? > 9 WARNING: Granting a Character this level of Privileges is dangerous and can lead to rewriting of the World Kernel System.

We are almost done, just a couple more pages! Thanks for being with the project for the entire ride!

I lead him through the art gallery I've put together. The Von Lycaons I plucked from the error that broke the simulation. We pass by the red suited Lycaon and the intricate Lycaon. The red suited Lycaon has the wrong eye and no visible prosthetics. > Von Lycaon > The representative of Victoria Housekeeping Co > Single-eyed with robotic limbs that need five bottles of Ames Special Mechanical Lubricant for maintenance. "That's the Lycaon I met, yes?" Sharp as a tack. > Correct > And the one sold to us. ""Sold to us?" How? And..." He's still grappling. > It means you're not real > Though no Von Lycaon is > Von Lycaon is a product > Sold by a company who knows the target audience. Zenless Zone Zero. Von Lycaon was always the obvious furry bait. ""No Von Lycaon is real..." That's cruel to lay on me. And if you have such strong opinions, why...?" We pass the simple Lycaon and the painted Lycaon. The painted Lycaon has the wrong eye again. > I don't blame characters for their creator's intentions > It's like blaming sexualized designs on the characters > You and your coworkers > Everyone in New Eridu > Every "Wolf of the Week" > Did not ask for this "Why did you want to know me? Not 'Rina' or that 'Mr. Wolf'!?" His anger is understandable. I'm explaining the ant the motherboard. > You're a wolf of the week > And there's next to nothing that people latch onto about you > Just your pretty face and hot body and cool demeanor ""Pretty face," not pretty enough for these paintings to get my eye right. Why show me these?" > They were asked to We move past the solid Lycaon, another one with the wrong eye. > The biggest thought going through my head > When I started this project was > "Out of all the Von Lycaon art" > "How many people have drawn you without liking you at all?" > It's a thought that hurts me > People prasing you > People loving you > While having no clue who you are > So I wanted to learn > I wanted to know you > I'm sorry for pushing it this far

MOOOORE Guest Lycaons! Djdoodle, wingsferet, horrorbuns, Paint, and aka_meyneth!
It's time for some answers!

"Is this a fucking joke!?" > Not a joke. > Never got around to designing him. I have the avatar stride up to the desk. "'Got around to designing him!?'" > Can you picture him? > An image come to mind? I ask these questions, knowing their answers. I click and drag in an image while my avatar turns the damn phone off. "W-well..." he mumbles. I have the avatar offer him an image. It's literally last minute with ram features. Large green horns and an outfit that's implied to be green on the inside with bright green eyes. He's supposed to be based off the Alpeca enemies though I forgot to include the warped colors around the iris. > Here, a quick drawing. > Jog your memory? "No..." he reaches and takes the picture- ----- *It looks like paper, but has the weight and feeling of a steel plate. The face is not one I recognize. It's frustrating. ----- "So... why? Why is this happening? Why are you doing this?" Valid questions with proper answers. I change the room to one more befitting of this conversation. A simplistic gallery filled with all the drawings donated by friends. > I wanted to know you. "Know me...?" > Yes > Follow me My avatar begins to walk down the hall, Lyca taking a moment to look at the bodies of work around him.

Return of the guest Lycaons! These ones done by djdoodle and wingsferet.

"So... a door to his office is just going to... appear?" Von Lycaon asks, staring at the wall of the safe environment. > Correct I click and drag the door asset in, the loading is much faster than the avatar, mostly because of a single hinge. "Where- oh." > Here I stand the avatar beside the door. He rolls up in the wheelchair I gave him. Made of simple geometric shapes that mimic a cartoony wheel chair. He reaches for the door knob. As he opens the door, the safe environment begins to unload as office environment loads in. Tinged in a sickly green, it was a rather plain office space. It was comprised of simple geometric shapes and reused assets like the green teapot and green tea cup from the dream sequence. The only things that weren't used before was the chair and the office phone. Von Lycaon pulls his phone, seemingly from nowhere. I'm not sure what he's doing but- ----- *I have to check if this is actually his office and not some ploy* *I press the contact button and hear the phone in the room beginning to ring* ----- Von Lycaon's elation reads on his voice, "B-boss! It's me! Von Lycaon!" I make the chair begin to swivel, "P-please tell me what's-!!!" His gasp is sharp as the chair is revealed to be empty. > He never existed, Von Lycaon. > Not in any official capacity. It's the truth. I never got around to it.

> Hello? > You there? After all this work to save him and I broke the system. > Dammit, must be bric A hand grabs the avatar's goatee, pulling it down and forward. "GIVE ME ANSWERS!" He shouts. Oh thank goodness. I backspace the previous message. > Oh you're not bricked. > Yay :) "How-" ah, right, the text updates in real time. He might as well heard the sentence and had it sucked right out of his ears. I have to be more careful. > You want answers, yes? "YES!" He shouts again. I didn't intend to come down here in the first place. I hoped to never need to give these answers. However, now that I had to come down here, I needed to be upfront. > You are an existence I branched off the original Von Lycaon in the World Kernel System. "That's nonsense..." he mumbles, classic denial. It's cruel, but I don't want to waste more time on his limited perspective's inability to catch up to the new. > I wrote a scenario, a 'Script' for you to follow until you were developed enough to release. "How can I believe you?" The final denial. I already did a lot to try to prove it by literally appearing out of nowhere. The World Kernel's initial corruption should've also been an indicator. I have to crack him with a broken rule even his small world held as fact. I scrounge my head for the perfect set up and 'punchline.' > Do you want to see your boss? ----- *I did want to see my boss. Finally.*

> OK, hold on. I quickly begin to mock something up, it'll be a bit slapdash and shitty looking but it should be more comforting than the disembodied voice of the author. "OK...?" Lyca seems hesitant in the news. The reader is catching up on his thoughts... His mind a flurry of thoughts as he tries to figure out this new presence. Is it god? Is it a random intercom? What does it look like? Is it like what god was told to me was like? I click and drag in the avatar. The loading message appears, which Lyca looks at it. His jaw is agape. I think he's now realizing this is a program... I'll need to explain it. However, as the avatar.char loads in, I see that I made a lot of mistakes with it. The construction is shoddy, especially with the fucking hole in the bottom of the neck. Great. > There Wait, the avatar's mouth isn't moving. > Shit > One second. I have to just assign the speaker pointer to the avatar's head attribute. > Excuse the bad model. > Quick turn around. No kidding on that part, but god it looks bad. With the pointer assigned let's give it a try. > There! Finally! > Fixed! > Ignore the torso hole. Aaaand I'm just now realizing he hasn't talked, or thought, anything after starting the load in. Did I brick the system?

Lyca's stare at me is... incredulous? Horror filled? Surprised? "First off," Lyca starts, "never do that again." OK noted, I probably should've expected that. Hearing a real voice in a comic world might as well feel like seeing a new color. Let's make a message entity... "Er... second..." He scratches the side of his head, expression softening as he tries, desperately to piece together what is going on. All right, make a speaker point and add it to it. Doesn't matter where it's pointing it doesn't need to make sense right now. "What?" He speaks in a minuscule voice. Is he just now questioning what I am? > I'm sorry. I send the message through. He looks at me with horror. I thought this is what he wanted, but with how his eyes dart back and forth it's definitely a shock to the system. Did he expect me to not know how to communicate like him? > Hello My message is cut off by his yell. "WHAT THE FUCK!?" OK, OK, message received. He's weirded out. How do I put him at ease so we can talk...?

I have to reach out. So. I set up my mic. And speak into it. “Hello? Hello hello? Can you hear me? Von Lycaon?” The quiet afterwards is deafening. I can hear my heart thumping in my head. He’s looking right at me.

I work tirelessly. I don't want to lose him from resting on my laurels. I set up a safe environment, a single bed room. Once I have the basics down, I start to load him in. His figure starts to pop in slowly and gently. A blue sketch outline staring at his hand. A black pencil outline that overlaps with itself. I can see his green iris. A proper color and ink representation. His eye is blue? Then his voice cuts through me. "Why is this happening to me...?" I... I need to do... Something here.

Instability rising... Lyca turns around, face-to-face with some... bastardized, cartoony depiction of the Von Lycaon. Some creature beyond standard anatomy. The wolf begins to walk backwards in shock, eyes swiveling side-to-side. He sees more of them, Von Lycaons that break the forms he's gotten so used to and are all there. They are all Von Lycaons. > Pause Instability too high, can't pause. He falls to his knees. >FUCK 'FUCK' is not a command. I know that you damn machine, uggghhhh!!! Lyca buckles over, the other Von Lycaons gathering above him. Lightning striking as the world begins to warp around him. "Stop it..." he whispers. >Extract Character Lyca I need to get him out of there. Extracting... Instability rising >HURRY 'HURRY' is a command. "Stop it stop it!" Lyca yells, tasting iron on his tongue as the Von Lycaons close in. "Stop..." He clenches his eyes closed. World Kernel collapsing... ERROR ERROR "STOP I-" His scream is swallowed up by the program shutting off suddenly. I'm... scared to look at the files. I can only hope the World Kernel system got him out in time.

Lyca was near tears but he couldn't let being thrown out stop him. So he opened up his phone and began to call his boss. Instability rising to dangerous levels. Error... error... It goes straight to voice mail, "The number you are trying to reach is currently unavailable. At the tone, please leave a message." A harsh beep plays into the wolf's ear for which he can only sigh. Source of Error: Von Lycaon Von Lycaon VonLycaon VonLycaon VonLycaonVonLycaonVonLycaonVonLycaonVonLycaonVonLyca "Hey boss..." he starts, weaving through the crowded sidewalk, "I bet you know why I'm calling." It feels odd to talk to an empty ear, here he is hoping the boss will listen. "I hoped to catch you here but..." he supposes today just won't work out for him at all, "I guess not." He couldn't it stop him though. "I'll find you. Tomorrow." He finishes the call off as he passes a fellow wolf Thiren. INSTABILITY RISING: RETRIEVING ALTERNATIVE VON LYCAONS.

The two look across from each other, set in the fact that neither are brothers. “Welcome to Victoria Housekeeping Co. How may we assist your day?” Von Lycaon starts; business as usual. The pause is long as Lyca tries to muster together his nerve. “I uh… I wanted to meet with you, Von Lycaon.” He stammers out, he’s nervous. Obviously. Von Lycaon kind of winces, he hopes he’s not dealing with THAT kind of clientele. “Yes, meeting with me usually involves hiring Victoria Housekeeping Co. How may we assist you?” He tries to remain firm and professional. “N-no- no, I mean… I’M Von Lycaon,” Lycaon winces as he hears Lyca speak. This is a new one. “You- The maid. Rina? She and Ellen knew my name and that Cheese dude said I used to work here and-” ‘Cheese dude?’ Does he mean Wise? … What is he doing? Trying to understand madness? “Impossible, considering that I am still here and working daily. For what reason would Alexandrina have-” “You haven’t gone missing at all…?” Lyca is a bit surprised, that’s not the story he experienced. He growls, “Doesn’t matter. Why are we both here and both Lycaons?” “I have never had a sibling, let alone a brother. So the idea you’re a Von Lycaon is ridiculous. I can call medical-” He’s being written off. Von Lycaon won’t listen unless he’s made to listen. Lyca thinks... then it strikes him like lightning. “WHAT’S YOUR FIRST NAME!?” Lyca points accusatorily at Von Lycaon, making the one-eyed canine flinch back in surprise. “Why it’s- it is- I…” He doesn’t… know. He should know, but he doesn’t. Why doesn’t he know? “EXACTLY! I don’t know mine either! I bet the job you’re doing now is killing you like it would-” “That’s enough…” His weak murmur cuts through the rant Lyca was spewing. “B-but…” Lyca weakly tries to start it again. “I said enough, the role of head butler of Victoria Housekeeping Co. is one I should wear with pride.” He doesn’t raise his voice, even with anger. He breathes. “You should go.”

The wolves stare at each other, feeling recognition in each others’ faces. Missing right eye, sleek fur, missing legs. “His face is just like mine,” the thought comes to their minds at the same time. Instability rising. Finding Adaptive Script. The main difference is the fur and… well… “He’s smaller…” Lyca thinks, looking at Von Lycaon’s chest. “He’s much bigger…” Von Lycaon thinks., just as guilty as Lyca’s staring. So round and bouncy. He feels an alien sense of envy creeping at the base of his spine. He wants that? Both wear the same outfit, roughly, however… “He looks so put together it’s suffocating.” Lyca observes. He almost looks like a prisoner in how restrictive it all is. “So loose, so free.” Von Lycaon observes in turn. He looks like a Von Lycaon that didn’t join Victoria Housekeeping Co. Adaptive Script found: Long Lost Siblings. Applying Adaptive Script… “The legs he walked in with don’t look comfortable at all,” Lyca compares. “His prosthetics are simple and cheap. Nary need a drop of oil,” Von Lycan muses. They were civilian model, unlike his combat functionalities. Adaptive Script Application at 25%... 56%... 89%... “But he still has my face. Could we be…?” “Still, the resemblance is uncanny. Could we be…?” >Cancel I can’t let that happen… “No, not possible.” “The possibility cannot exist.” Adaptive Script application cancelled. Please be aware that instability will continue to rise with a script not chosen.

And there he is, Von Lycaon. He looks just like the image Lyca saw online. Lyca shifts uncomfortably in his seat, his large glutes not fitting within the chair easy. This wolf looks down at him in a skeptical manner? Or is he angry with Lyca? Frustrated? Lyca is unsure, but at least one thing is for sure. This Von Lycaon is certainly real, even if it seems he's wearing his face.

Lyca sits in the empty office. Von Lycaon isn't there yet. And here he's allowed to stew while wondering just where the thiren is. He's left to think about how stupid of an idea this was. He's accepted the moniker of Lyca, even if his original name is Von Lycaon. Why should he be so worried about a different Von Lycaon living a life he didn't want? Would this Von Lycaon even look like the image he saw before? The image of the doppleganger looking back at him? What if it was just a coincidence of alike names and faces? He sits there in the chair that creaks beneath his weight with a far too tight button up and shirt. He looks stupid, he looks crazy. His thoughts are a blur of conflicting thoughts and feelings. He should really leave- "Apologies on keeping you waiting," a smooth, suave voice cuts through the growing hesitation.

He slips on the attire provided for him by the maid. The clothes of this other Von Lycaon. The one who works at Victoria Housekeeping Company. The one who's prim and proper. It's tight around his form, barely fitting around his chest as he stretches the white t-shirt under it. The slacks cling to his thighs that make his bulge and glutes really pop. The dress shirt is a pain to button up. He can't help but be thankful, more evidence he's not this other Von Lycaon. He's himself, he's Lyca. "Now that you're decent. Von Lycaon will see you now." Rina gestures to the slightly ajar door. "'Preciate it." Comes his response. Despite the affirmations and his bravado coming in, he's nervous. What will happen when the two meet?

Lyca approaches the manor of Victoria Housekeeping Co, finding it quite easy to enter. That's where he comes face-to-face with... Rina, Alexandrina Sebastiane. Her facial expression is calm and relaxed, not a glint of recognition in her eyes. "Hello sir! How may we assist you today?" She speaks suavely with an even cadence. "I want to meet with Von Lycaon. That possible?" He expects a different response, but he's not too surprised when she gives him the new status quote. "Of course! Shall we fetch you a new outfit?" Her eyes shift away from Lyca, "Von Lycaon wouldn't mind lending." She knew he would throw a fit if this almost naked thiren just waltzed into a meeting. "What do you mean?" He's confused, his clothing was tight yeah but it was just a quick meeting, "Isn't my outfit good-" His pectorals erupt free from the tanktop he wore, the front of the grey clothing fluttering to the floor. "Oh, let me-" he reaches down to pick up the scraps, hearing a rip from behind. He looks back, his larger ass and balls being especially focused on by the camera. "... I will return with a change of clothes," Alexandrina says before swiftly leaving the scene. Lycaon would have a fit over this...

"And there's no way for me to work here?" Lyca asks pathetically. "Nope," is all the answer Alice gives. "All right, thanks," he weakly states before starting to leave. The scenery is a blur as he leaves the shack and walks across the beach. His tank top is beginning to feel extra tight around his chest, starting to tear, and he's starting to think it's not his heart going 1000 miles an hours. I decide to tune into his thoughts. "So, no job under mysterious circumstances. People not recognizing me when they did before. History of a different Von Lycaon." The scene melts to him walking along the sidewalk, his shorts straining over bubbling mass much like his tank top, he has to awkwardly adjust himself. "And my clothing is getting tighter. I need answers. I can ask the boss later. What's bugging me the most..." He stands in front of the Victoria Housekeeping Co. manor, the large gates stand to oppose his venture inside. "is this new Von Lycaon."

Lyca stumbles into the lifeguard shack, "H-how many...?" Slips past his muzzle, where the response is an offer of the clipboard Alice had been staring at. "See for yourself." She states simply. He looks over the pages on the clipboard. He sees a wolf with blue and cream fur with scars over the right eye, name is Legoshi, location is Beastars city and is a Wolf/Komodo Dragon hybrid. He sees a wolf with rusty red fur with hints of white and black. Leo Alvarez, Echo, Red Wolf. He sees a wolf with an eyepatch and gray and white fur. Wolf O'Donnel, Lylat System, Wolf. He sees a wolf with natural browns and a big grin. Mr. Wolf, Los Angeles, Wolf. He sees a wolf with grey fur and a mean, hungry gaze to him. Death, unknown location, embodiment (death [wolf]). He sees a wolf with marred, grizzled features, having seen his own share of pain. Blaidd, The Lands Between, Half-Wolf. And they all had green eyes, the same shade as his own. "That's way too many and I haven't even heard of these locations..." Lyca mumbles, "I didn't expect so many wolf Beast Thirens to move to New Eridu either." "They're not Thirens," Alice cuts in, "and they're from around here. Not New Eridu." "Isn't this shack stationed in New Eridu!?" Lyca begins to question his reality, was the location a bit lie? But then, he hears Alice speak. "NoYes, it's stationed in," he can't process the blur of words spilling out of her mouth, Alice seeming oblivious to the sea of proper nouns coming out all at once. "... Forget I asked. They all joined trained...?" Asks Lyca. "Yup. All of them considered 'attractive' by our visitors." She talks with an air of suspicion, like it's strange for her as well. "So, I'm just another in this long line 'attractive wolves!?'" "Yeah." Is all he gets in response. He feels sick to his stomach.

Lyca looked on in horror, a brand new animal was in the lifeguard seat. A wolf thiren he's never, ever seen before. And sure, it'd be ridiculous to think a wolf knows every other wolf, but something about this one stirred a gut feeling in him. A feeling of wrongness that told him that... That wolf has never been in New Eridu to begin with.
