“Mike, you need to see this. A ton of rifts in space have opened up in the village, dropping all sorts of things through them. I think I found your Heather too.”
–Heather 2.0
“On my way now.”
–Heather 2.0
“Well, I’m Heather 2.0, but you can just call me 2.0. With all the Heathers you’ve met, that’ll be so much easier to remember. I’m from Rapoville, as you can see, although I affectionately like to call it Roboville!”
–Heather 2.0
“Anyways, Mike and I got trapped here a couple years back, probably 15 years ago at this point. The Creator was supposed to send us home, but never did. Mike and I adapted pretty well to living here, but soon, he started to get memories of Belleview, so we started working on a way to get him home. And now we’re here!”
–Heather 2.0
“Oh, sure! We can leave the way we came!”
–Heather 2.0
“I have no idea. Lemme do a quick scan of the village.”
–Heather 2.0
“Ooh, that’s a good question. So, Mike and I are from a place called Belleview. In that Belleview is a separate Heather – a human – who grew up with Mike. I only met him once we got to Rapoville. I am a variant of that Heather, and she is a variant of me. Also, if Mike was sent home when he was supposed to, that would create a completely different course for both Belleview and Rapoville, so that Mike would be a variant of our Mike – the Engineer.”
–Heather 2.0
“Hmmm. I can’t say for sure right now. You should come with me for a second.”
–Heather 2.0
“We’re about to be! Y/n wants to know who they’re a variant of.”
–Heather 2.0
“Just some context, these are all different universes with variants of each of us. We’re here, Rapoville-X, and the hypothetical universe I gave you is this one, Belleview-15. You don’t fit into any of the closest universes to here; you’re all the way out here.”
–Heather 2.0
“There’s a town called Bellevue, there are Raposa in Portugal, and there’s a Heather that’s friends with a guy named Jeremiah – she's the Heather that I’m a variant of.”
–Heather 2.0
“Right away.”
–Heather 2.0
“Y/N!! Can you hear me!? We need you to try again! You’re so close, but not quite there yet!!”
–Q-Heather
“I have these codes for you! I can’t decode them, but I know you can! Don’t forget them!! In order, they are: 11113, 123, 213, 22.”
–Q-Heather
“You can do this y/n! We all believe in you!!”
–Q-Heather
“I… I am! I have no idea what happened, but I’m completely reconnected to the servers!”
–Heather 2.0
“That was my brain. How the hell am I here?”
–Heather 2.0
“It’s okay Mike. I want to be with them too. After what the two of us have been through, there’s no one better for me than them.”
–Heather 2.0
“It’s okay. I saw it long before anyone else here did. I’m just happy to spend these last moments with you. I love you y/n…”
–Heather 2.0
“I have a code for you! I can’t decode it, but I know you can! Don’t forget it!! Here we go; it’s: 1112112. You can do this y/n! We all believe in you!!”
–Q-Heather
“Nice to meet you two! Hopefully we can all work together to get us all back home. So, what realms are you guys from?”
–Heather 2.0
“Well yeah, you’re a human. That much was obvious. Which Earth?”
–Heather 2.0
“You don’t know? You’ve been doing all this dimension hopping and you don’t know universe classifications? Wanna take it away Mr. Engineer?”
–Heather 2.0
“Interesting. Let me check something real quick.”
–Heather 2.0
“To your point, you don’t fit into any of the closest universes to here – the ones you’ve fallen through so far. You’re all the way out here.”
–Heather 2.0
“Let’s not get hasty now. No one knows which universe is possibly at the center of it all. To say that one is absolutely real doesn’t make sense. For example–”
–Heather 2.0
“Thank you, y/n., This means more to me than you’ll ever know.”
–Alme 2.0
“Ooh, you’re travelling between universes? And you’ve been to other Rapovilles? That’s so cool!!”
–Heather 2.0
“Well, based on your explanation of Rapoville, we’re living way after what you experienced, probably 15 years or so. Once we had settled into the village, Mayor Mari made a pact with the Galactic Jungle’s Click, and we started to upgrade our technology. There was some opposition to the upgrades, but introducing it to the villagers, they all came around to it. Now, we’re all living in harmony with it, and we really couldn’t be happier!”
–Heather 2.0
“There’s this cool place I wanna show you y/n. Let’s head over to Town Hall.”
–Heather 2.0
“This is me. Everything I say or do happens here. All the signals, information, memories, are stored in here and transmitted out when I need to access them. The actual transmittal is almost instantaneous, and it all comes from the top of Town Hall. In fact, the AI for every villager is transmitted from here.”
–Heather 2.0
“So, whaddaya think?”
–Heather 2.0
“You really have a way with words y/n. If you were from this universe, I’d have to snatch you up myself!”
–Heather 2.0
“I understand, and I’d really like to help you, but I can’t. Not like this.”
–Heather 2.0
“If you wanted me to help you get home, I’d need to be able to navigate the multiverse. I can’t do that without the ability to do quantum computations.”
–Heather 2.0
“Oh… Well, I thought it was cool. Do you wanna head anywhere else?”
–Heather 2.0
“No, it’s okay. I’m sure there’s something less terrifying in the village you’d be interested in.”
–Heather 2.0
“What are you doing! We can’t do this without you, y/n!”
–Q-Heather
“Sorry, y/n. I can’t do that. Not for a coward.”
–Q-Heather
“Y/n? You’re from a different timeline?”
–Q-Heather
“You know what happens if you don’t go in y/n, you have to do this.”
–Q-Heather
“It probably had something to do with you and Alme killing the Master. One small problem though. I don’t think you all can get home anymore.”
–Q-Heather
“I understand, and I can set you up with that.”
–Q-Heather
“Use one of these to set up your portal to Belleview. Whenever you’re ready to go home, go back to the abyss and break this canister. That should open a crack to send you home.”
–Q-Heather
“Use one of these to set up your portal to Rapoville. Whenever you’re ready to go home, go back to the abyss and break this canister. That should open a crack to send you home.”
–Q-Heather
“Alright everyone. These things have a lot of energy in them, so the seals are pretty tight. To open them, twist the two ends in opposite directions and a crack should open at the nearest location. One of these will send you into the village you wanna go to and the other will send you back home if you’re making a pit stop. Got it?”
–Q-Heather
“Give me a moment to get the Void residents set and we can get you guys going.”
–Q-Heather
“Oh, I, uh… Well, if you really want, I wouldn’t be opposed to that. Give me a moment to get the Void residents and Pleather home, and then we can spend our day together.”
–Q-Heather
“Hey y/n. You wanna know something cool? Because of this new upgrade, I can see all sorts of other timelines here in Roboville and see all the things you missed out on during your trip!”
–Q-Heather
“I completely agree, which is why I’m happy to tell you that I can turn it off, whenever I want!”
–Q-Heather
“Farm… the… the farm…”
–Heather 2.0
“Thank you y/n. Y’know, this farm used to be a big recharging station for everyone before almost everyone got shut down.”
–Heather 2.0
“Oh, that’s right. You don’t know this story. Honestly, it’s not really my place to tell it, so if you ever get all buddy buddy with Mike, ask him.”
–Heather 2.0
“It was pretty bad. Only a couple robots actually stayed online – maybe 8 or 9?”
–Heather 2.0
“You okay y/n?”
–Heather 2.0
“Oh, okay! Let’s see, across the timelines, you visited the beach, Isaac’s shop, the wishing well, Creation Hall, Town Hall, and outside the village. I can’t take you everywhere, but I can take you to at least the wishing well and Town Hall!”
–Heather 2.0
“Mike keeps some places off limits for our safety. Plus, if we leave the village all our communications go offline, so we have to be brought back in.”
–Heather 2.0
“Well, you left the village a few times in prominent timelines, and when you did, you were collected by Mike’s answer for robot retrieval – Frostguard. However, one time you managed to escape to the Galactic Jungle thanks to Alme’s teleportation abilities. I thought the Galactic Jungle shut down… Mike told me…”
–Heather 2.0
“What’s going on Mike?”
–Heather 2.0
“I thought we were both supposed to go back. What do you mean ‘send me home’?”
–Heather 2.0
“Oh. I’ll be honest y/n, I kind of expected that. Out of all your journeys in here, you’ve died a lot; it really is a dangerous village.”
–Q-Heather
“You heard me explain how to use these, right?”
–Q-Heather
“Sorry y/n. I can’t. If any of us leave even the village, we lose all communication with Mike’s servers. It’s even more dangerous for me considering my brain is here.”
–Q-Heather
“Thank you y/n. I’ll see you soon.”
–Q-Heather
“You know, I really think Roboville is gonna change for the better because of you.”
–Q-Heather
