Description

"It's okay, Cecil, it's okay. We're going to be alright. We are usually fine."

"So! Who gets to go first?"

"Cecil? What are you doing? WAIT! CECIL! NO, no, no, no, no! Don't you dare, Cecil, don't you dare! Please don't do this, please don't-CECIL, NO-"

"See you in the Night."

"Hi."
"Hello, listener."


So, what am I doing? Well, while I am on vacation and should be drawing the lineart for Hvar, I get an AU idea from this comment on my last artwork, and I have been working on it instead.

The AU is quite parallel to Transistor and WTNV: Cecil is the voice of the homely town of Night Vale, happily telling the weird stories that pass on from day to day. One day, however, StrexCorp Synernists Inc. arrives at Night Vale and decides to change this town for the better. Armed with power of a Smiling God embodied in the sword known as the Transistor, they begin to slowly take out the influential people of Night Vale and bits of their world with them. On one occasion, the core members of Strex decide to take out Night Vale's voice, but they made a miscalculation and lost the Transistor when Carlos took the blow for Cecil. Cecil, now with his boyfriend and voice lost in the weapon he now possesses, goes off to find out how to fix their predicament with Carlos' voice with him every step of the way, battling possessed office workers, as his beloved Night Vale crumbles to the flooding Smiling God. Eventually, he meets Kevin, who gets him to put the Transistor in the Cradle to stop the Smiling God, and they both get sucked in. Cecil then has to square off against Kevin, armed with his own Transistor, so to escape the Cradle. Also, it may be hinted that Kevin sabotaged the Strex mission so that he can try to retrieve his counterpart boyfriend to Cecil's Carlos from within the Transistor. Cecil wins, leaving Kevin trapped in the Cradle, only to find himself back where it all started: in the parking lot of the Arby's, with most of Night Vale reduced to void. Carlos encourages Cecil that they can rebuild...well, Cecil could. Carlos is still trapped in the Transistor and doesn't know how to get out. Cecil then restores the Arby's, the parking lot, the car, and finally Carlos' body. He sits down next to it, raises the Transistor one last time, and the world goes black to the sound of Carlos' pleas. The next time Cecil's eyes open, he sees his imperfect boyfriend, out on a desert at dusk with the light of a lighthouse atop a mountain, blinking in the night.

That was long. So was drawing Cecil. It took so long to get him right. Kevin was based on harlequinpant's design which I adore, but modified so he would look a little more like a counterpart to littleulvar's Cecil.  I'm still practicing my painting techniques and I haven't gotten landscapes down yet. I might have gotten a bit sloppy near the end. Thanks for reading this far. Hope you all like the AU.

See you in the Night.

This is AMAZING! Although I will admit that I don't quite understand the ending.
