Rumors spread quickly around town. That’s how it always was. Rumors about the mayor, however, were always the most frequent.
Marcie, however, was quite possibly one of the most concerned. She had just met the mayor about a month ago, and was wondering where her friend went.
“Marcie!!” yelled Apple. The peppy hamster ran over to her friend. “Ohmigosh, I just heard the scariest story from Rocco!! He just said that our mayor has moved out! What will Pine do without her?” Tears in her eyes, the dramatic hamster started to sob a little.
“Apple…” whispered Marcie in her sympathetic voice, “I’m sure our mayor will come back safe and sound. It was only a little vacation, that’s all.” She patted the hamster on the back in a motherly way. It was natural of Marcie to be like that; she was a mother of her own; she had a little joey who looked just like her mother.
Rocco’s rumors, however, seemed to become more like facts as the days passed on. Marcie was very scared. Scared for her friend. She may have not known the mayor too well before she left, but she still got to know her at least a little bit. And all friends mattered to Marcie, regardless of how big or small their friendship is.
Marcie decided it was time to search for the mayor.
She ran into the town hall and informed Isabelle that she was moving.
“Oh!” said Isabelle. “You’re moving? That’s a shame. But, I’m sure you will love your new town, too! Who knows, maybe they have some lovely villagers there just like ours, or maybe even another dog secretary, like me! Good luck, Marcie! I’ll inform Tom Nook of your descion and he will help you move!”
“Thank you for understanding, Isabelle.” Marcie waved goodbye to the dog for the last time and walked back home.
She knew she was going to have to give up some of her stuff. She gathered her joey’s toys, some blankets, clothes, some oranges from the local trees, 5,00 bells, and placed them all in a box.
It was time for her to move.
By the time she walked to the train station, Tom Nook was already there.
“My goodness! It’s Marcie! So good to see you, yes yes?” exclaimed Tom Nook. “Ah, but I heard that you are leaving Pine for good. So sad to hear that, yes yes. I’ve already planned to demolish your house tonight. Are you certain that you have everything with you, Marcie?”
“Yep!” said Marcie, carrying the box with all of her stuff as her joey hopped behind her. “I have everything!”
“I assume you’ve already said goodbye to everyone in town, yes yes?”
“Yes, I’ve said goodbye to everyone, but you, Tom Nook. Thank you for everything. I won’t ever forget everyone!”
“Good luck, Marcie! May you find a lovely town to move into!”
“Thank you, Tom Nook!” Marcie waved goodbye.
“Bye bye!” squeaked her little joey.
The two kangaroos waited paitently for the train to arrive. It was starting to get late. Marcie felt a little nervous. Wasn’t the train gonna arrive any second now?
Just as she felt nervous, a train arrived. It came to a stop and the two of them walked inside and hopped onto a seat. There was no one else on the train, except for the conductor.
There was what looked like a schedule taped on the walls of the train inbetween the windows. Marcie examined it as her joey hugged her little bear toy. “Let’s see here…” she muttered to herself. “This looks like a list of the other towns that this train is going to stop at. It says it’s supposed to arrive at Pine at 8:00 pm today, which means it’s 8:00 now…hmm, it’s going to some town called Garden at 8:10, and then at 8:20 it’s going to another town called Winter…and at 8:30 it’s going to a town called The Void.” Marcie cocked her head out of confusion. Who’d name a town ‘The Void’? It certainly sounded interesting. Perhaps the mayor took a vacation there! She decided that once when the train stopped, she would visit The Void, maybe she’d even camp there! If The Void wasn’t the town with her friend, she’d simply go on another train and go into another town.
Marcie glanced at her joey. She was settling down for a nap. Marcie smiled and took a blanket out of the box, and rested it on her and her joey. She decided to fall asleep…
“THIS IS THE STATION FOR THE TOWN OF GARDEN. EVERYONE GOING TO GARDEN MUST LEAVE THE TRAIN WITHIN A MINUTE.”
Startled awake, Marcie looked around. Her joey, not to her surprise, was awake now, too. “What’s happening?” asked the joey.
“It’s only an announcement. The train will start moving again very soon. It won’t be much longer until we get to our new town, I promise!” Marcie picked up her little joey and placed her on her lap. Her joey giggled a little and started to try to fall asleep again. Marcie rested the blanket on the two of them again and let her fall back asleep…
“THIS IS THE STATION FOR THE TOWN OF WINTER. EVERYONE GOING TO WINTER MUST LEAVE THE TRAIN WITHIN A MINUTE.”
Awoken once again, Marcie opened her eyes. Her joey awoke too, but seemed a little more annoyed. “Again?” muttered her baby.
“Hush, my joey,” whispered Marcie in a soothing voice, “The next stop will be at our new town. It will be worth the wait, I can tell already!”
The two fell back asleep when…
“THIS IS THE STATION FOR THE TOWN OF THE VOID. EVERYONE GOING TO THE VOID MUST LEAVE THE TRAIN WITHIN A MINUTE.”
“This is it!” exclaimed Marice. She put the blanket and the toy back into the box, and picked up the box. “C’mon!”
Her joey excitedly hopped off of the seat and walked with Marcie. The little family walked out of the train and took their first step into The Void.
Immediately, something was terribly wrong.

Oh cool! Well Kitt, Bluebear and Walt were afew of my favourites that left me but I might write something on one of them since this idea is so inspiring x3 Walt left me when I took some time off animal crossing and I was so upset when he was gone ;-;

But yeah, I'm really looking forward to reading the other stories <3

Man you lost Walt? =( Wish I knew that when I voided him =(

sorry if i sound picky but i was reading the list of characters in the void, my mayors name actually isnt esper, its actually Stella if you dont mind changing it to that lol
also i decided i'll post my first chapter about one of my residents going into the void, i hope you guys like it

Sorry I got that wrong! I think I've fixed everything now

I'll be curious to see where your story goes! I'd never much considered the little kangaroos' joey, but that's right: they have a little one to worry about! Thanks for sharing, and I hope you'll keep it up!

 

[~Mae~]

Oh yeah, forgot to add- please add: Curt, Henry, and Deena from Paradiso to the list?

- - - Post Merge - - -

Will the list stop at some point? So we'll have a defined list of characters to work with?

 

[Jesusfreakette]

I kind of imagined it like picking toys out of the toy box. You can't play with all of them, but it's nice to have variety! So you can just choose which ones you want - not all are required. For instance, I knew I wanted a bear in an upcoming story... so I'll pick out one of the bears from the list and make it that one! Or I like the sound of a villager who's gotten lost from town called "Paradise..." so I pick one of them from there. It's a resource, and not one which demands to be used. Just there if you want it.




Plot Reset

I have a few more of these little comics! I don't think they're particularly good, but they're rather nice practice, and I made them for here, so I'll send them to you guys anyways!

oh okay, and thanks! i choose to write about marcie specifically because she has a little baby to care for, so she has to make sure that her baby is healthy and cared for! im already working on the next part so i might be able to post it sometime soon, by the way your plot reset comics are really good! i like them!

OMG that story was AMAZING!!! And the cliffhanger too. I thought it was a really good idea to do a story based on one of the kangaroos because they have their joeys to look after too while in the void. (I'm not just saying that because I love kangaroos lol). I'm really looking forward to the next part x3

 

[Pokemonprime]

Here's my story. Characters so far: Kody, Marshal, Rodeo, Farley, Rolf, O'Hare

Spoiler

Damn it
Damn it all
I was a good villager, sure I bragged a bit but it wasn’t meant to be mean. But what happens? I get shoved out for a freaking brown and white cat. No one wanted me, Bay Area was full of Tier 5s desperately begging for homes and the other town, darned if I know its name has been mayorless for over a month now. The reliable train that brought everyone here also took me away. After Bay Area it went to another village. I was surprised, Darius had never visited a town called “The Void”. I was going to tell Porter to keep on going but he said this was the end of the train line. I walked out into this town and was dumbfounded. It was completely dark. No amount of pattern laying could have done this, something was wrong! I must have found a glitched town I thought, and ran back to the train station to demand to go somewhere else. But it was locked. Locked? I thought, its never locked! I started pounding the door and a dusty intercom crackled on. Stop the racket! It blared. Your not leaving here, this is the void. No one comes back from here! Now stop bothering me! It crackled once more before going silent. What the hell? What did he mean by no one comes back from he- RARRGGHH what was that! *chomp* What the hell! Ouch ouch ouch ouch. Who- I mean what was that? Hellooo? Whho are you? Whoo are yo- Rolf?! Aren’t you supposed to be back in Hyrule? RAAAAARRRGGHHH ouch what the hell! Get away from me you nut job. God what was that about? I thought, when I saw Rolf last time he was cranky yes but not the lunatic that just tried to turn me into lunch. I heard a faint quip and almost put a fist through the squirrel’s fluffy little head before I realized she wasn’t going to kill me. She realed back before yelling what the heck sulky! Sorry I said the last white animal I saw tried to turn me into lunch. Oh Rolf? She said without a care. He waits around the station and preys upon new arrivals, quite evil in my opinion sulky. Sulky? I thought, why does she keep saying that? Then again he shouldn’t blame her, he constantly said “grah-grah” for some reason. Anyway Kody, why are you here sulky? Me? Well I moved out because the mayor wanted a different villager, you know what villager? A freaking brown and white cat! I yelled as loud as possible. Jeesh sulky, I just moved out because the mayor was gone for too long, she disappeared for a whole year! I just got bored sulky. Really? You just up and left? How could you do that? I mean don’t you miss your town, I miss mine a ton I said. Well I get bored if nothing happens, and without the mayor Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, even Easter grinds to a halt. I need things to do sulky, so I left. But even thought the mayor had traveled 100s of times no one was open sulky. I got dumped here sulky. Well what was with Rolf over there? He’s never been like that I exclaimed. It’s this town sulky. It, it changes us. One of my friends got lost in a- Marshal was cut short as I watched in horror as a red eyed bull turned her into marshmallow fluff. What the hell! I gotta get the hell out of here. I ran through a forest of rotten trees that never seemed to end. When does this end I yelled in frustration. It doesn’t end, a somber voice said. Who are you? I asked in a tone that was a mix of frustration and fright. I’m O’Hare he said, and this forest never ends amigo. Haven’t you heard, the void is full of stuff like this amigo? Hhhow do I gget out I here I said my voice filled with fear. You can’t amigo he said, this used to be a perfect cherry grove, but the trees where cut down and the Void claimed them. Well how are they a never ending forest then? I thought you said it was just a grove I quivered. I’m getting to that, you see the Void is not just a dimension of sight and sound but of mind amigo. Isn’t that quote from some old show I said? It’s not old, its vintage amigo he said slightly angered. Anyhow what a drink? You’ll be here until you’ll be considered vintage amigo! He chuckled at his own joke. There must be a way out of here I insisted. If I got in I can get out I insisted, this time with more determination. As you wish, but don’t come crying back to me amigo. I’ve heard a few tales from some villagers 12 years ago, gosh has it been 12 years amigo? About an old man who will give you an axe that will cut through this forest amigo. But you need a gift for him, something nature related amigo. Here, found this bush start while ago amigo. What about you? Don’t you want out? Nah amigo, it’s quiet here, and I like quiet amigo. Well thanks I said, and I departed to find this old man. The journey to the old man was long and not so pleasant. Heaps of tires and leftovers from Tortimiers old events during fall. Rotten fruits and turnips composted into foul smelling ant and fly filled messes. The most un-nerving parts where the random items, shirts, dresses, toys, paperwork, stationary, and tools gone rusty with age. I had no idea why they where there until I realized it, they where travelers. Other villagers who tried to make the same journey I did and didn’t make it. I did my best to go on, and eventually found a small shrine with a funny little man under it. Are you Farley I asked? Yes, he said in a deep, low tone. Do you have the special axe? I brought a bush start for you I said. Ahhhh, yes I’ll take that, now you wanted me too use the special axe he said in his deep voice. Yes I said, O’Hare said you where the only way out of here. The ol- excuse me vintage rabbit is right. Let me get the axe. The axe was cracked but shone a bright gold. He swung the axe at a tree and it punched through the trees to the areas ahead.

 

[Mercedes]

I wake up, dazed an confused..I look up, I see a dark sky, with clouds, non-moving almost non being. I look around me. And see a small squirrel. It's white, and has blond bangs, it appears to be male. He is sobbing loudly, I try and stand up, but pain shoots through my right leg, and I fall with a loud thud. It peeks the squirrels attention, he walks over, and he has a small bag in his hand, he whispers "Don't worry, young human, I'll help you, out of the bag, he pulls a white cast like bandage, and wraps it around my sore painful leg, I smile at him. Not knowing what to say. He touches my for head. And has a grave look of concern in his eye. And says "dear human, you have a high fever...what shall I do?" I sit up, and look at the ground, I see one wilted rose, and brown grass, along with life less trees. He starts digging in the ground, an pulls up a root, it smells awful, I cringe at the smell. The squirrel says in a light mild tone "do not worry human, this will bring your fever down," I eat the nasty plant. Be a few seconds later I felt better. I ask the squirrel his name. "Human, my name is Marshal." he says I smile, I say weekly "Marshal my name is Mercedes, were am I?" Marshal has a horrified look on his face, then says "Mercedes..you poor human...your new here..here..he is cringing, Your in the...void." He barley whispers. I panic "what?? Why?" I start crying. Marshal comes closer. And lays down next to me. Then puts his tail on me. I feel warm. Marshal says "Mercedes..close your eyes..you must sleep the fever off..come now..." I smile and close my eyes. The end? I don't know ;A; is it good?

 

[Mini Mario]

Can I make part I, II, and III? Mine is really long.

 

[Jesusfreakette]

Pokemonprime, very interesting story! I think my favorite part were the environments you described. They were really vivid and really strange and dark and curious! The marshmallow fluff might have been pushing the violence clause But still, very descriptive, dark story - and Farley! He and Serena could be guardians/rulers of the Void!

Luckypinch, your little Marshal was so sweet! I kept waiting for something to happen to the weak, vulnerable human... but he was just kind and mysterious and sweet! It was precious I'd definitely love to hear more about the sweet Marshal and his sick human!

Thanks for sharing guys (I also think I might have to add in no swearing to the rules. I'd kind of forgotten about that, but I guess it doesn't really go with the Disney/cartoon standards I mentioned? Whoops. Pokemonprime, if you'd be up for changing that in your story, that'd be great!)

Dark Samus, you can definitely make a multi-part series! (lol - without exploding octopi ) I'm sure you'll cook up something really interesting for us! My Timbra story is probably going to be 20 parts long, not even gonna lie, so I'm not sure there's a limit to how long they can be

 

[Venn]

Hey! I have a tumblr and I can help run/manage it if you need it!

 

[Pokemonprime]

Sorry about my story lol, didn't try to make it violent and the cursing wasn't intentional. You see, where I live d@mn and h3ll aren't considered "bad" words. You don't wanna yell em at the school yard but there not really of the levels of normal bad words.

 

[Jesusfreakette]

Hey! I have a tumblr and I can help run/manage it if you need it!

That would be awesome! I'll PM you!

It's no problem I didn't even specify, so you didn't do anything against the rules! I just realized, "Huh... maybe that would be a good idea to include that..." And it was still a very interesting story, so good job!

I will be making a part two. ;A; Heres an image. oh and I am thinking about reading it as a script. What do u guys think

 

[MindlessPatch]

A quick question. Since anything that disappears from your town goes to the void (in this case mainly villagers) how about when you delete a character? Would they end up in the void or have some part in it?

 

[Jesusfreakette]

Luckypinch: I think that's an awesome idea! I hadn't even thought of scripts as a medium, so way to think outside the box on that one! And it would fit your story well (especially with that font )

Mindlesspatch: Yes! I actually have a few posts about a character created for a plot reset named Delete! Humans are in the Void too, along with the villagers and items

 

[toxapex]

Mindlesspatch: Yes! I actually have a few posts about a character created for a plot reset named Delete! Humans are in the Void too, along with the villagers and items

I had an idea for a picture of a bunch of lifeless residents in a big ol' pile from someone plot resetting... but I don't know how I could do it without crossing the "death/disturbia" line... any ideas for a child-friendly AC metaphor? >.>

 

[Jesusfreakette]

Hm... Maybe they could have just been dumped there but they're still alive, and one of them is saying something? Like, "Well now what?" or "So is this where the turf wars are?" or "He says he was coming right back... right?" Hm... Or if it's a big messy pile that's important, maybe you could have a dilapidated villager digging through all this abandoned stuff? Or if it's the vertical design that's important, maybe they could be holding on to a cliff in a long line? I thought about doing something like that before!

Any better ideas?

 

[MindlessPatch]

Perhaps human villagers (and maybe some animal villagers) can't handle the stress of the void and the so-called 'darkness' is just too much for them to handle. So when they arrive there they simply never wake up.
You know how when you go onto a character they leave their house meaning they just woke up. If you delete a character they wouldn't wake up but would just be transported to the void or something like that.
It could be that the villagers who are trapped in the void move their bodies to a certain area and overtime their houses get destroyed (walls start falling apart etc).

Hope that's not death related or anything. I mean they're alive just in a deep sleep. Like Sleeping Beauty (relating it to Disney like in the rules hehe)

Edit: And it would be a very rare occurrence for a human villager to wake up once in the void but certain ones do manage to.
