#and he isn’t afraid of trapping/hurting innocent flies in the process

[the-crimson]

I was thinking about this while falling asleep last night so I want to try and untangle the web Bad has been spinning to better understand what he’s doing cuz in some aspects it seems completely random and disconnected

Bad’s plan rn is to disseminate a bunch of different - at times contradictory- information across the island and watch how it spreads. The goal of this is two fold; to discover who is trustworthy and to find the (probably unknowing) federation spy.

His plan began way back with the magma cube prank. At the time he said he wanted to pin the prank on the fed to turn everyone against them but… the way he went about it didn’t make sense? Giving a cube to everyone at once pretty much confirmed it was a prank - fit recognized that immediately - as well as writing the books in French and Portuguese. Not to mention Tina would clock him immediately since he pulled this prank on her before. So what was the point?

So Bad could watch/listen to the islanders as they tried to figure out who it was. Many of them immediately clocked bbh for a number of different reasons and he confessed to several different people (mainly the French) that it was indeed him. He could watch the web of information spread to discover who talked to who and who could keep secrets.

Over the last few weeks Bad’s been much more subtle with this. He’s told conflicting information about various things to a bunch of people - telling some people he is the one responsible for the mines at spawn and others that he isn’t - and the web has just gotten more and more complex.

Then on top of all of this, he’s testing people with very specific and unique obstacles.

Bagi’s test was the first one I noticed several days ago and is what got me paying closure attention. Bad pretty much explained it yesterday but I’ll recap. He knew Bagi was worried about him so he told her he was seeing a ghost (which was true) and asked her to keep it a secret. She did not - as Bad predicted - and you can tell in the conversation that Bad knew she didn’t and was giving her the opportunity to come clean - which she did. He praised her and thanked her out of no where for keeping this secret (I thought this was weird at the time, the way he was talking, and this is why) and she told him that she didn’t. This proved to Bad that Bagi was more interested in being honest then trusted which meant that she passed the test.

The next obvious one is Baghera. Bad is testing Baghera’s resolve and trust. He showed her Ron knowing full well that Baghera could have turned on him and tried to interfere but he trusted that her sense of justice and care for him would balance out and that she’d find a solution where they both would be happy. He knows he is hurting her but it’s necessary in his eyes.

Then is Forever. This one is a bit more tricky. I don’t think Bad has really started testing Forever before the gun theft. This felt like an improvised test to see how far Bad could gaslight and push Forever before Forever gave up on their relationship. The gun was returned before we reached that point but there was another immediate point of contention that - again - was out of Bad’s control. Tubbo. Forever correctly believing Tubbo that bbh kidnapped the worker was the pay off for Bad’s previous abuse. Forever doesn’t believe a thing that comes out of Bad’s mouth anymore. The nail in the coffin for this test is Forever thinking that Bad is ill and needs to be saved, which means Bad is probably never going to bring Forever into his plans like he did Baghera. Forever wants to save him but Bad doesn’t want to be saved. He walked into this hell with eyes wide open and it’s far too late to turn back.

Aypierre’s test began yesterday. Not only did Bad “confess” to having a fed worker in his custody, he also tasked Aypierre with spying on Tubbo. Bad trusts the French as a whole more than anyone on the island (I’ll come back to foolish in a minute) and he knows that Aypierre, Antoine, and Etoiles would either be ambivalent or positive about the man in Bad’s basement. Bad would never straight up confess to this crime “I would never touch the federation” but he’s willing to confirm their suspicions. He also told Aypierre to be wary because someone is protecting Forever and… I’m pretty sure this is a lie. A lie to test what Aypierre does. Who does he tell. If the feds find out and start snooping. I think Aypierre’s test is to prove without a doubt if he can be trusted/who he trusts and that he isn’t a fed plant/hasn’t been bugged.

Lastly, and most interestingly, we have Foolish. Foolish is the only one Bad has told everything to. Sure, it’s through three layers of obscurity and metaphor but these two only know how to communicate through mind games. Bad knows how intelligent Foolish is and he knows what Foolish wants. Yes Foolish is a snitch but he has no loyalties to the fed, only to his family and himself. Foolish would be the obvious spy but Bad knows Foolish is just chasing the rush of excitement and entertainment and that watching Bad stop holding back is prime time entertainment. He knows Foolish will eventually turn him over to the feds but that’s what Bad wants. Foolish will be up front about it and will want a front row seat so if Bad gets arrested without the fan fair, then it proves that someone else is the puppet (if bad gets arrested at all)

Lastly lastly, I think Bad has caught onto the fact that the federation doesn’t want to touch him. First giving him a slap on the wrist for griefing the presidential office then warning workers to stay away from him instead of removing him as a threat. Bad wants to push them. Ever since Tubbo spilled the beans about the worker going missing, Bad has been acting so much more suspicious and threatening than before. He’s intentionally making himself look more guilty without out right stating that he is guilty. The federation has to know it’s him right? They have all the pieces they had to have been able to put it together so why? Why haven’t they acted?

Well, Foolish promised Bad he’d be getting arrested soon and Bad keeps making himself look more sus to Tubbo who has a friend in the fed - who resembles the exact person Bad wants to nab - so Bad is also probably keeping an eye on Tubbo if he snitches (which he did lol). If the federation continues to do nothing that’ll give Bad massive leverage over them while also giving him another mystery to solve.

Bad said his plan is almost complete, he just needs a few more pieces to fall into place before he can find the puppet and follow its strings back to its master. I have no idea what’s going to happen or what pieces need to fall into place but i am so curious to see what he does next. Is capturing Fred still part of his plans? Is he still banking on getting put in jail? How is he going to narrow down who is the puppet when he hasn’t tested more than half of the server? Hopefully we’ll get some answers today.

9/24/2018, Part 2 (Other RP’ers’ swear words are under the cut)

[Rave Witch Temmie] We finally make it back to the resort, huffing and puffing. And once again, we collapse onto the ground. Is this going to be a running gag, now? Eheh…

[Exo Sans] a giant explosion of purple fire comes from the beach

[Rave Witch Temmie] We barely notice this, as we are too exhausted from running away from the zombies we just immolated.

[Thread] From the other post, Thread asked about his name/title, possibly seconds before being shown to this place. The moment the other speaks again he looks around. Oh wow they actually brought him to the resort grounds. I was genuinely expecting some sort of trap.

“Thanks again, sir!” he smiles happily, that childish innocence showing once again as he looks genuinely thankful with no hint of suspicion whatsoever. He’s not dumb, he’s just oblivious as he doesn’t usually encounter these sort of actions.

[Neptune] Neptune is just…Having a huge flashback to the past-

But of course, she is instantly awoken by Robin’s words.

“HUH? What? Oh yeah, i was recovering some m-”

1NFO21NOF21ONO1NO

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST THE EXPLOSION STARTLES NEPTUNE SO MUCH, SHE COPIES NEPGEAR’S ICONIC EXPRESSION AND JUMPS UP IN THE AIR IN A CARTOONISH WAY.

She falls on her back and dies, as her spirit flies up and away into the afterlife with angelic sounds.

She sings along with the angelic sounds….

Now that i think about it, it kinda sounds like the halo theme.

Uwoooooohhhhh~… UwoooaaaAAAOooooaaaaahhhhh…

…I think Robin should do something about this.

[Rave Witch Temmie] We lay face-down, panting hard, and coughing occasionally.

[Baku] Baku grinned. “No prob an’ ta answer yer question, name’s Baku, nice ta meetcha broseph.” At that he turned to face the other and crossed his arms, his stance relaxed and friendly. “Anyway there’s maps inside the resort o’ the island so feel free ta grab one an’ don’t be afraid ta ask ‘round, though heads up not everyone here is dat nice so just keep a look out.” It was at this point Baku caught the explosion at the beach and raised a brow, “Well dat’s new, the funk just happened over there?”

[Robin] Robin was shaken up as he also heard the explosion. “Gods, what in Naga’s name was that explosion?” Robin asked. He kept Tora on his shoulder as he looked in the direction of the purple explosion. What should he do? He knew he needed to get Tora to the infirmary to get her fixed up, but if something like that happened, then more people could get hurt.

“Nep, are you alright?” Robin asked, quite concerned.

[Neptune] Bruh she legit looks like she actually died and her spirit/ghost is quite LITERALLY ascending above the mortal plane, she’s going to heaven and is singing her way to the skies, I don’t think she’s good.

She proceeds to fly and sing to the skies.

[Rave Witch Temmie] We weakly attempt to push ourself up. But we’ve spent so much energy fighting the zombies that we can barely move.

[Thread] Thread smiles back and goes to give his name also and thank him for the advice but he stops when he goes to look in the direction of the explosion. He sighs, not really sure what it is.

“Probably just s-some sort of fight going on. Th-that or a very explosive temper tantrum.” He isn’t trying to be funny here. He seriously thinks it’s a temper tantrum. A very edgy one at that. “Wh-whoever caused it must be really powerful with some sort of f-fire magic or something. I-I think I should stay away from whoever it is either way. I-I don’t want to end up in a fight with that sort of person.”

[Baku] Baku shrugged. “Who knows wit this place at this point, I kinda just accepted dat weird shiz will always happen here, makes dealin’ wit it easier if ya ask me.” At that he turned his attention back to Thread and chuckled, “Kinda funny ta call it a temper tantrum though, yer just on a completely different plane o’ thought aren’t ya broski.”

[Rave Witch Temmie] Oh, great… Baku’s here…

Not that we can do anything about that, though. We’re spending so much energy just trying to catch our breath that we have none left to get up and leave.

[Robin] What should Robin do? He knew he had to get them both back to the infirmary. “Nep, stay with me here, I still need your help here.” Robin says as he attempts to reach for her spirit. After attempting regardless if he succeeds or not, he bends down to grab Nep’s unconscious body and barely manages to fling her over his other shoulder. “Gods…I guess all that workout… with Sully… is starting to pay off finally!” Robin says as he makes his way over to the infirmary slowly but surely, beads of sweat starting to drip down his face.

[Thread] “Wh-what do you mean? Whenever I feel upset I sometimes do th-that sort of thing to relieve stress, b-but I don’t do it in a place others can get hurt f-for the most part. H-how is that on a different plane?” He shrugs at the last part. Seriously though, in his point of view it makes sense. He has seen a goopy glitter demon child that could destroy worlds, he has seen much worse than a giant purple explosion.

[Rave Witch Temmie] Nep isn’t the only one who needs to go to the infirmary. We make another attempt to push ourself up.

“nn… nnngh…”

[Robin] Before Robin could leave though, he notices the other figure on the ground. Gods, where’s Lissa when he needed her? Before he leaves, he turns towards the cat-like figure and asks “Hey, are you alright?”

[Rave Witch Temmie] “nngh… cough uuu… uuugh…”

“z-zom… cough, cough zombie… pant, pant s… zom… bies…”

[Baku] Baku chuckled and shook his head. “Nevermind, ya wouldn’t get it.” At that he smiled. “At any rate it’s the island staff’s problem if ya ask me 'cause I ain’t dealin’ wit it. If ya want you can check it out but do it on yer own my man.”

[Robin] Zombies? Here? It can’t be Grimas Risen could it? Regardless, how can he get all three of them to the infirmary? Tora is still knocked out, Neptune is being… well… Neptune, and the cat-like creature looked like she was too weak to get up on her own. “You’re hurt, we’re going to get you to the infirmary.” Robin says.

[Rave Witch Temmie] “pant… pant… th-… thank… yu… cough”

[Thread] Thread shakes his head. “N-no way. My magic is far on the flammable end of the spectrum. I-I would die the moment I ste- no wait- the moment I walked in the area! B-burned to a crisp! J-just like that!”

While he was talking a few strings appeared from his hands and shifted into a small doll of himself. When he got to the last sentence he snaps and some other strings move up the doll to make it look like it was burning. In the process he retracts all of the magic strings so it sorta just looks like it was disintegrated or something. Dramatic effects I guess. “M-maybe I could stay with you for some time? Y-you seem nice!”

[Robin] Robin nods as he slowly makes his way to the infirmary with the three hurt people in tow. “Gods… Lissa or even Maribelle would be nice here… I got…to get them… to help…” Robin seems to slowly make his way bit by bit to the infirmary with the cat-like creature in tow, stacked right on top of Neptune. Wow, who knew Robin was this buff?

[Baku] Baku grinned, mission success. “Sure bro don’t see why not, I can show ya around a bit if ya want though, not much to really see here unless ya like explorin’.” At that his grin turned into a smile, “They have some p’ cool shiz here if yer up fer walking an’ climbing.”

[Rave Witch Temmie] We barely notice who’s carrying us. We don’t really care, at this point- at least, I don’t. Mostly, I’m just glad that we didn’t have to take the desperate measure of asking Baku for help. Not that Temmie would mind doing that, but I, for one, am more than happy to have avoided the need to do that.

[Robin] Robin finally makes his way here, his cloak completely drenched in sweat with Tora, Neptune, and the cat-like creature in tow. “Hello? Is anyone here? I need some help.” Robin calls out.

[Elise] Elise turns her head as he sees Robin. “Oh dear! Put them on the beds please” She says as she raises her Mend staff after healing Cassandra.

[Rave Witch Temmie] We lay limp as we are carried in.

[Elise] Elise skips over to the cat girl as she examines her. “Hmm… this looks serious. Seems she’s also quite fatigued. Some rest here should do her some good.” Elise says as she rose her Mend staff over the cat-like creature, causing a green light of sorts to engulf the creature. She should likely be feeling a pleasant warm feeling as her body is being healed.

[Rave Witch Temmie] “mmm… mmmgh… mm…??”

Huh… we’re starting to feel better already. We pick our head up and look at Elise. “oh… th-thank yu… dat feels gud… th-thanks…”

We look down at Robin. “can yu put me on da bed, pleas?? i gotta go to sleep…”

[Robin] Robin nods as he puts down the cat-like creature, though he still has Neptune and Tora on his shoulders! He staggers over to two other beds nearby as he puts them down. He wipes the sweat away from his head as he catches his breath.

[Elise] Elise beams a bright smile as the cat-like creature. “I’m glad that I’m able to help.” She says with a giggle. She then skips over to Tora first as she examines her next. “She’s hurt really bad, what happened to her?” Elise says as she switched her Mend staff for her Recover staff. A bigger green light engulfs Tora as she also feels a pleasant warm feeling as her body is being healed.

[Rave Witch Temmie] Once in bed, we take off our hat and pull the blankets over ourself. At this point, I’d be worrying about Baku paying us a subconscious visit, like I was last night, but right now, I’m just too sleepy and worn out from tonight’s ordeal with the zombies to care. With our hat tucked between our arms, we close our eyes…
