Considering I've had several of my LD OCs for over a year now, it's high time to publicly start sharing their lore (orrrr at least the basics). Let's start with these guys!
So to keep it short there are two types of creatures that live in the mindscape: Imaginary Friends/IFs, which come and go at different points in peoples' lives, and Critters, which everyone has but few get to see since they stay in the deeper levels. Both the specific IF from "Your Imaginary Friend" (they/them) and Corey the armadillo from "Neverending Hum" (it/its) belong to the character from "Vow of Silence" (Vow, he/him). The IF used to terrorize Vow as a child, until Corey revealed itself to fight them off... now years later, they're back, and much more powerful!! Vow tries to keep a vow of silence and think in "mentalese" to strengthen Corey's protection, but he has WAY too many opinions to be at all consistent
(Comic transcript below)
A car stops at a red light, its driver inside subtly shaking as they think to themself.
Narration: This has not been a great day for me. They won’t leave me alone. I could barely speak in class without them on my back. Even now, I can’t clear my mind... I just need to...
The driver, Vow, a young adult with shoulder-length hair and a lip piercing, starts to lean back in his chair and clear his mind - until being interrupted by a ringing phone.
Vow: $%!#. Heeello?
A voice on the car speaker replies, "Afternoon, sir! My name’s Ivan. Might I interest you in some mushroom removers?"
Vow: Mushroom... removers? Is that a product or a service?
Ivan: Both, actually!
Vow: How does that work?
Ivan: Our technicians have very specialized training.
Vow: Yeah, I’m gonna take a hard pass. The flat my roommate and I share doesn’t even HAVE any...
He trails off upon spotting a small creature - similar in appearance to a ladybug - grinning up at him from the windowsill. Vow stares in silent terror.
Ivan: ..."Any"...? Honestly, sir, this is my last call of the day, so I’d appreciate if you could work with me here-
Suddenly, Vow flinches back in a panic as the creature floats towards him.
Vow: EEK! I-I-I have to go-!
Ivan: Eh?! But if you could just give me one second—
Vow: I’ll call you back later-
Ivan: But-
Vow: I’LL CALL YOU BACK!!!
With a “click!”, he hangs up, and a short amount of time passes; the car is now parked by a meter and Vow has collapsed in the back seat.
Vow, trying not to cry: ugh... Some white noise should do the trick.
He turns the dial for the radio to an ongoing argument.
Radio Show Host 1: kssHKKmost outlandish theories I’ve ever heard!
Ivan: D-do you think I’m just making this up?? This is serious!
RSH2: (Seriously out there, more like...)
Ivan: No, wait! They don’t- [his speech bubble is cut off]
RSH1: Hey actual listeners: call in and come laugh at this guy!
Assorted voices call in and laugh, while the host says, "At least try and make some sense!" The caller quietly hangs up.
Vow: That caller... Doesn’t that sort of sound like...?
He barely finishes this thought before getting yet another call, to his frustration.
Vow: What do you not understand about “I’LL” call “YOU” back-
Ivan: I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!
Vow’s imaginary friend respawns behind him at his words, and he clamps a hand over his mouth. Again they near.
Imaginary Friend: Come on, Vow... Let’s go back to how it used to be.
As a last resort to block out the IF, Vow starts humming... and another imaginary creature, this one armadillo-like, tackles them from out of nowhere. It pins them down and wordlessly reassures Vow; he gives a relieved thumbs up in return, then brings his focus to his phone. Over all the action, Ivan continues his angry rant.
Ivan: They all cut me off, always cut me off, and keep living their lives like nothing! Can’t they see what is at stake?! It’s like I’ll never get a word in before THEY come for me... You aren’t listening either, are you? Hello...?
Cut to a semi-obscured shot of Ivan slumping in front of a conspiracy board.
Vow: ...Look, man. There’s honestly not much I can say.
Ivan, lowering his touch-tone telephone: oh.
Vow: But...
Vow steps out of his car, shutting the door behind him.
Vow: IIII needed a break anyway. Alright Ivan: Tell me more about those "mushroom removers". I won’t hang up on you.
