#DeviusExMachina - THE REKINDLED. Dave and Bambi reminisce on the day they first met. Jointly illustrated by vesselvindicate.bsky.social, statictigers.bsky.social, and mapledrawsarts.bsky.social. #daveandbambi (1/3)

Back to the present, Dave is shown in halfbody looking down at the jar with deeply faded colors and a grayish-purple background. He stares at it with a blank/dead expression.

Dave: oh.

In the panel below, he is rendered as a zoomed out black silhouette with only his lightly squinted eyes visible. The space around him is swirling darkness, making distinct objects fuzzy and hard to discern.

The proceeding panels are equally fuzzy/desaturated. It cuts to Bambi downstairs sitting in the kitchen speaking in faded, blurry dialogue:

Bambi (Ashcan BB): THERE YOU ARE! What took so damn long? Did you find the game??

Dave wheels past, not looking at him. Bambi squints at him.

Bambi: What is that?

Another large halfbody panel shows Dave looking very tired/troubled staring directly ahead of himself, holding the can. There are faint snowflake patterns in the dark background behind him.

Bambi: ...Wait. That's the ghost pepper flakes!!!!!!

Bambi laughs loudly pounding on the table. The colors snap back to normal saturation and Dave is rendered in gray with his brows furrowed. In the next, he glares at Bambi, yelling "WHAT."

Bambi: Don't you remember?? That's how we met!! Wow, you were so funny.
Dave (covering face, sweating): oh *god*.
Bambi: What???
Dave: don't remind me. he was so fucking embarrassing...
Bambi: 'He?' Who??
Dave (small text): ...me...
Bambi: What! You were the best kid I ever met, helping me like you did.
Dave (head down on countertop, hand on head) seriously?
Bambi: Why you surprised?? You think I hated you back then, too???
Dave: No! It's just... ...geez, it's been so long, I'm trying to remember...

The dialogue bubbles fade out into a starry night sky.

A flashback commences showing Dave in a corn maze a long time ago as a teenager. He looks quite different from his present self, though still using a wheelchair. He has much longer brown hair reaching around chin-length with short spiky down-facing tips and a slight curl on the ends. He has bangs that cover part of the right side of his face. It's not too dissimilar to an emo haircut. He has black fingerless leather gloves, a grayish-tan watch on his left arm, a brownish-orange Linkin Park t-shirt, and blue jeans with rips around the knees showing he has simple prosthetic rods underneath. His pants cover these prosthetics and give the appearance of him having no feet. He's fidgeting with a shark tooth necklace in his left hand, and behind him a ferris wheel can be seen.

Dave (04b_19): So much quieter here. ...Geez, it's really getting dark now.

Dave rummages around in his pocket and pulls out his phone, turning on its flashlight. It has a different case than his present phone; it's bulky and angular with a gray-black coloration and bright orange highlights. He shines the light on the maze in front of him.

Dave: Hellooo everybody my name is Markiplier and today we're playing HAUNTED CORN MAZE.... of DEATH and MISERY. Few enter this forsaken place and live to tell the tale.
Dave (wheeling forward, mischievous grin): You see, this game. Is one of the games of all time. Uh huh, you heard me right. And my viewers have been BEGGING me to play this top-notch horror experience since before I was even born.
Dave: And in the wise words of my-

Dave is interrupted by the sound of footsteps. He freezes and the background around him turns gloomy.

Dave (thinking): if someone heard that im killing myself

A silhouette rushes past Dave and startles him. The person reaches for a corn stalk.

Dave: Hey!- Woah, hey, uh, whatcha doin there, bud?

The person rips off an ear of corn. It is revealed to be Bambi in the next panel, who grips it fiercely with an enraged expression:

Bambi: PAYBACK. THEY STEAL MY CORN, SO I STEAL IT BACK.

Bambi looks largely the same as his present self, albeit with two faded scars on his face and a collared long-sleeve shirt with a checkerboard pattern of green and lime-yellow. The sleeves previously hid the fact he doesn't have arms, but he pulls one hand out of its place to stuff the ear of corn inside the sleeve. Dave looks bewildered at first, then yells:

Dave: HELL YEAH, dude! FUCK those guys!!! Can I help??
Bambi: SURE.
Dave: Man, it's been a while since I've gotten into any good mischief-

Dave then notices that Bambi has floating hands. A comical display of imagined orange-and-gold computer UIs covers his hand with the title "dAVE VISION V. 1.0.51", "analyzing" the properties of his hand. The text on it reads:

WARNING: ANOMALY DETECTED (repeated in the background)

ERROR: SUBJECT'S HAND DEFIES THE LAWS OF GRAVITY...?

ERROR: SUBJECT IS LACKING ARMS AND WRISTS

...WAIT

SEARCHING DATABASE...

WARNING: DEVIATION DETECTED

(A graphic shows wireframe models of a strange humanoid being with floating hands and antennae compared to Bambi.)

ABNORMAL HEIGHT
HUMANESQUE SKIN
HUMANESQUE FACE
NO ANTENNAE?

VERDICT: UNKNOWN CLIONE SUBSPECIES?

(End graphic.)

Dave looks shocked with his jaw hanging open, then ecstatically stimming with his hands and literal stars in his eyes.

Hey look, I made a Princess Silver skin concept for Forest King Pillar Chase 2. It'd be called Dusk Monarch, or Frozen Dusk, or Dusk, or smthn. Unsure if the face could be changed though. #PillarChase2 #PrincessSilvSweep #Horrorbrew #Marioexe

unironically considering adding some of the normal elevator NPCs to regretevator as a small chance to appear for the new update This'd be alongside the larger floor we're working on based off of the normal elevator
