ALRIGHT- here we go!

     Information you need to know: This is set in Swapped Markery AU, where Purple and Dark's roles switch so it's Lilac and Bright now. A quick summary of the characters:

     Lilac: He's Dark in the original AU. He's unsocial, but his leadership cancels that out and even makes many markers look up to him- despite the fact that he has to look up to talk to most everybody. He's also surprisingly cunning, being able to convince people to do things he needs them to- despite squealing in joy the moment he sees any sort of small, cute animal.

     Bright: He's Purple in the original AU. He's an S-tier assassin, always being equipped with throwing knives. He went insane in the Dimension of Brightness (lmao that's so goofy) and started planning to kill Lilac. He's responsible for the deaths of many other markers, too. In the end, they knock him out and Wild Marker is able to code his sanity back.

    The story is about the start of the redemption arc, so there's a lot of sibling love and sibling rivalry put together.

     Bright looked up, finally feeling sane emotions for the first time in seven years.

     "Well?" Lilac said, crossing his arms. For an awkward moment of silence, the twins made eye contact.

     "It's... unnaturally new and familiar at the same time," Bright replied after a moment of cautious thinking.

     "Well, what did you expect?" Lilac responded immediately.

     "I didn't expect you to radiate superiority," Bright muttered. "Come on, you're five inches shorter than I am in a black turtleneck tank top. That's not fair."

     "If you're here in a fancy collared shirt looking like a lost child, then that's saying something."

     Bright sighed.

     "Don't show me around. I know this place well enough," he said, getting up from his seat. "Where'd dad go?"

     Lilac was unable to control the faint glimmer of a smile that popped up when anyone he knew and openly cared for was mentioned. "He's in his house."

     And with that, he bounded off to the forest. Bright was faintly amused as to how this legitimate child was able to run a community of jerks and rebels so well. He got up, and after getting used to standing again, followed.

     It was easy to tell where Lilac had been going. You just follow the trail of childish yet mature positivity that he left wherever he went. Bright, finally finding his twin, was surprised to see him stopped in the middle of the stairs down to spawn happily conversing with a pigeon on his arm.

     "Fucking Disney princess," Bright said as the pigeon flapped away with an alarmed coo. Ignoring Lilac's unhappy expression, he took him by his forearm and dragged him back to the forest.

     "Right- we were supposed to meet up with dad," Lilac said, giggling as Bright smacked him on the back of his head. "...ow."
