I Came Back With An Another Au And I'm About To Make It Everyones Problem

I came back with an another au and I'm about to make it everyones problem

Omori but Kel replaces Basil?

They don't hide the body; instead, Kel takes Sunny's hand and runs away from there. Because the police are incompetent in this au: Mari's death was ruled as a suicide (somehow lol) Kel becomes extremely paranoid, thinking everyone is out to get him is not happy or smiley anymore Hero copes with Mari's death by shutting himself off but snaps out of it once he sees his brother isn't doing so good. Hero tries to spend time with Kel but Kel doesn't want to Hero eventually leaves for college leaving Kel alone Basil, having been spared the trauma, is the new Kel and has moved on from Maris's death, he now spends time with Mincy and Charlene and is still friends with Aubrey Aubrey still becomes a hooligan but is tamer and has more of a moral compass because she wasn't left alone this time

thoughts?

I like the idea very much......... Ended up sketching Basil instead of doing my work hahahahshhchdjx SHHH he is no longer mentally ill (he is but not as much)

Nokemon brainrot got me: Behold, a lil' ghost type creature

Replaying Omori for the fourth time for my au, wanted to see what happens if I don't CALM DOWN, cause I heard you die (Not BK canon, dw)

And this fucking textbox, omg. Just imagine Mari being like "Sunny I swear to god, if you die right now, I'm going to haunt your ass"

It's cracking me up, lol

Also, the 143 damage- I see what you're up to there game <.<

BasilKel Swap Prologue Part 1

NEIGHBOR'S ROOM

WHITE SPACE's door swung open to a colorfully decorated room. Omori’s socked feet sank into the soft pink carpet, and they glanced around the room. A picture and a blender sat all the way at opposite ends of the counter, and next to the blender, a toaster and an unopened present surrounded a plush pillow shaped like a girl’s head. In one corner of the room, a tree had grown tall, scraping the roof of the Neighbor’s Room, and in the opposite corner a scrapbook filled with pictures lay open. A blue cardboard box sat next to a puddle of water that seemed to ripple endlessly.

In the center of the room, Omori’s friends were playing a game of cards.

His eyes met a familiar, shorter boy’s, and with a gasp of excitement, Basil jumped up and raced forward, playing cards and loose leaves and petals scattered in his path.

“OMORI! I was hoping you would show up!” he cheered, eyes glittering happily. “We were about to start another game! Do you wanna join us?”

“Ahem!” Aubrey cleared her throat, and he turned back to see her glare, and the overturned cards.

“Oh, um! Whoops, heh heh,” Basil got quieter, flushing pink at the trail he'd left.

Aubrey crossed her arms, face all puffed up. “Basil! You should know to be more careful about that by now! You can’t get that upset about losing a game!”

Hero raised an eyebrow, “Hey now, Aubrey, calm down. It’s just a game, after all.”

She glared at him too, before whipping her head to the side. “You’re just saying that because you were winning, Hero!”

Hero sighed, and Basil began to scoop up the cards near him.

“I’m sorry Aubrey! I didn’t even think about it.” He rubbed the back of his head as he picked up the last one, and she glared. Nervously, he clasped his hands together and gave her his best puppy dog eyes. “Please? I really didn’t mean it.”

She stared at him for a second more, before gently thwacking his arm with Mr. Plantegg and huffing. “Fine! But don’t do it again.” Hero laughed under his breath, and she wacked his arm too, harder this time. “And don’t you say anything!”

Basil was wearing the same thing as always: A soft short-sleeve shirt, a pair of baggy sweatpants with deep pockets, his jump rope tied tight around his waist as a belt, and one of his dozens of flower crowns. This time, his Flower Crown was made of yellow and orange flowers with long triangular petals and thin, protruding plant… things? Twigs?

Omori didn’t know the word.

It was pretty, and clearly made with all the love and care Basil always showed his creative projects, but it still seemed to be falling apart. Even as Omori watched, it shed another petal into Basil’s hair. Huh.

Basil reached up to fiddle with the flowers, frowning. Behind him, Aubrey was giggling to herself, and Omori turned to look at her.

She was focused on something in her hands, and when he stepped closer, she looked up and beamed at him, glowing yellow, faintly.

“Oh, Omori! Look at this!” Aubrey held up a small rock, smiling mischievously. “It’s a pet rock! And not just any old pet rock, either. I nabbed it from Kel when he wasn’t looking!” The rock stared up at Omori from her hand, seemingly unphased. “Hehe~ Are I the greatest? I think I’ll call them… Roro!” Hero glanced over, brow creasing.

“I don’t think you can just rename Kel’s pet rock like that, Aubrey.” he said, then more to himself, “And you probably shouldn’t steal from him either. You’ll have to give it back at the picnic. Alright?”

She rolled her eyes, then put the newly renamed Roro in her dress’ pocket. “I bet Roro’s a better name than whatever he’s thought up.”

Omori turned his attention to the eldest, and Hero smiled warmly.

“What’s up Omori? We’ve been waiting for you, you know?” Hero greeted. He glanced at Aubrey and Basil as they reorganized the cards, then sighed. “Kel and Aubrey have been going at it again. You’d think they’d get tired of it, but they’re both just so full of energy.”

“Kel starts it!” Aubrey yelled.

Basil made a face. “You shouldn’t talk about someone when they’re not there. Kel can’t defend himself!”

“Pbbbt!” She blew a raspberry at him. “I’m right, though!”

Hero watched them, then shook his head. “It’s to the point where Kel won’t even come into the Neighbors room if Aubrey’s here.” he said, then perked up a little. “He’s with Mari, at her picnic! We’ll set out as soon as everyone’s ready.”

Basil looked up from where he’d been adjusting his flower crown, smiling softly as he did.

“It’s nice to see you again, Omori! It's no fun getting caught between Aubrey and Kel’s fights on my own. Heh heh.” He paused to readjust his crown again, only to sigh as one of the flowers fell apart between his fingers. “Ah, there it goes again… whenever I get caught up in their arguments like that, my FLOWER CROWNS just fall apart. I feel so bad for the flowers...” He looked blue, staring at the petaled remains for a moment.

Their bow wearing friend jumped to her feet, eyes wide. “That’s why it falls apart so easy? I’m sorry Basil!”

He shook his head smiling, and the SADness faded away. “It's okay! That’s why I make so many of them! There’s not really anything I can do to stop it, after all. Flower crowns only last so long.”

“But still! I bet it feels weird to go out without something cute like that after wearing it for so long. Do you have another one you can wear?” Aubrey tilted her head. Basil shrugged, so she turned to Omori. “No way there’s not at least one CUTE ACCESSORY in here. Omori, let’s look for one! We’ve gotta look our best for Mari’s picnic! Right, Hero?”

Omori didn’t wait for an answer, already wandering around the room.

Basil waved his hands frantically. “It’s really no big deal, Aubrey! I don’t really need a flower crown, y’know?”

“Yeah, but they’re super cute, and you always wear them! Plus, it’s Kel’s fault they fall apart in the first place, isn’t it?”

Basil shrunk in on himself, mumbling “not on his own,” under his breath as Hero stepped in.

“Hey, Aubrey, calm down. If you want to look around, it should be just fine,” Hero glanced at the Giant Yellow Cat, thinking. “We do have some time to spare… Just don’t be too long.”

“We won’t! We’re a great team after all, right Omori?” the girl cheered. It was at that point that she noticed the monochrome boy had wandered off. “Omori?”

There was the sound of tearing paper, and the group jumped. They all whipped around to see Omori standing over the box, holding a flower crown made of dandelions.

“Huh? What- Oh, you found one! Good job Omori!” Basil cheered.

Aubrey made a face as Omori handed the DANDY CROWN over. “Hey, aren’t those weeds, though? Don’t you want a nicer flower?”

“Of course not!” Basil smiled up at her, eyes alight. “Dandelions are actually very interesting plants! For one, they’re edible, almost the whole flower- just not the stem. And they’re good for you, too!”

He held up the crown, turning it this way and that, as if showing the crown off at a new angle would let the others see the benefit of the ‘debatably a weed’ crown. Omori leaned a bit closer to get a better view as Basil continued.“They’ve got a lot of vitamins in them. Because of that, some places used to use them in medicine to help cure all kinds of illnesses, without even knowing what they were caused by! Oh, and they mean something neat too! Dandelions symbolize rebirth, growth, and hope!”

Hero smiled as he thought to himself, remembering something. “Don’t they have something to do with wishes, too?” Basil beamed at the eldest.

“Mm hmm! But not when they’re flowers like this. They have to get all puffy first, and then you can blow all the seeds away to get a wish!”

Basil grinned, seemingly gearing up for another round of Fun Plant Facts, when he noticed Omori staring at him.

“Uh, a-anyway! Thank you for your help, Omori!” Basil sputtered, placing the crown in his hair and looking away in a fluster. “you’re the best…” his voice trailed off at the end, barely a whisper as his face glowed with blush.

Aubrey giggled to herself. ”Ooohh~! Is something wrong Basil? Do you have a cruush~?” She teased. The flower lover glared up at her, blush still shining.

Basil and Aubrey distracted by her teasing, the youngest turned back to Hero.

“Hey, thanks for helping settle that, Omori! I was a little worried that we’d end up looking for flowers all day again.” Hero ruffled his hair gently, chuckling kindly. “Mari invited us for a picnic at the playground, you know. Kel’s waiting for us there, too! Do you want to go see them?”

Seeing two of his favorite people? ‘Yes’ please!

Omori nodded, a bit more force than normal, and Hero ruffled his hair again.

“Alright everyone… Let’s go to the picnic!”

The group fell in line behind Omori, and he started towards the stairs. Then, he stopped to think. The neatly stacked cards seemed to call to him from the floor.

‘Do you want to play cards with your friends?’

The game moved quickly, most victories going to Omori, with Aubrey and Basil battling for second and Hero lagging behind.

‘The cards have been rescattered all over the floor, as is the fate of all toys brought into the Neighbor’s Room.’

‘Card Carnage. Cardnage. A true crime.’

BK swap AU- the Event Notes

Omori spoilers ahead! (Why are you looking for AUs before knowing the original? /nm)

I assume most people looking for AUs already know what the base story is, right? (Exception of my friend, but I'm trying to steer them away from the bigger spoiler-y ones, heh") Because I'm thinking about the recital, and I really don't think Kel would do what Basil did, y'know?

So, I'm a little Stumped- Just venting/posting ideas, I guess.

Kel wouldn't hide the body. No hesitation. He might support Sunny or not, but he wouldn't jump straight to Forge a Suicide.

(Babil-Plush's idea of Kel just grabbing Sunny and running is appealing, tbh, but 1) I don't wanna steal, 2) A huge point of my interpretation of this AU concept is Kel actually sticking with Sunny, and 3) I kinda wanna have Kel freak out. Will explain more in later point)

Honestly, I kind of want to make it so Kel doesn't actually know the full truth.

Like, he'd sneak off to record Sunny and Mari's practice- "You always record the pregame!" or something- and catches the tail end of the argument and Mari falling. But he doesn't catch the actual argument on camera. The audio is saved, but not any visuals.

So the truth segment would be Kel and Sunny working together through their own memories to fully recall What Happened. Like the original has Sunny figuring it out. (A bit more obviously supernatural, with dream sharing: IDK if that would go down well tho...)

(Re:Kel Freak Out) If Kel doesn't see the fight, then I think he'd get freaked and accidentally freak Sunny out more. Like, Kel runs in, sees Mari on the ground bleeding, Sunny trying to wake her up, and starts panicking. (I.E: "Sunny, what happened?! Why is Mari- What- Oh god, what happened? Is she okay? Sunny?!") Even if the questions are fair/normal, I could see Sunny hearing this as something like "What did you do?!" and hearing Kel as angry.

From there, its all a blur- Someone calls an ambulance, and Mari is confirmed Dead (At least for now. Maybe it could be comatose or severely impaired, or any other of the 'Mari Lives But Still Suffers' AUs, but idk if Sunny would repress as hard if she survived.)

I have more thoughts about RW events, but I gotta go- So I'll try to mention them later. Please feel free to give me ideas or critique the ones I have! Dankeschön!

Basil - Kel Omori RoleSwap AU

(Stars I need an actual name for this thing-) This is a collection of Notes and Thoughts I have about my interpretation of the AU! Please understand- I've been working on this with an IRL friend who hasn't played through the Faraway segments and doesn't know the Truth yet (soon, but not as of this point), so I haven't had a good way to brainstorm about it yet.

ALSO: I know I may seem somewhat incoherent at points, as a lot of things are based on my and said friend's interpretations of the characters. I'll try to explain if requested.

Headspace will be different! Since Kel (an active force) is replaced with Basil (Significantly more passive), major events and places including either or both of them will have to be changed to keep working, and some character dynamics will be shifted. The fanfic will mostly be the group's adventures through Headspace- As if it were an actual game/mod.

Pre-Vanishing below Read More:

Omori's greeted by Hero, Aubrey and Basil, ofc. Kel isn't part of the initial group because "Kel and Aubrey have been going at it again.' ... 'It’s to the point where Kel won’t even come into the Neighbors room if Aubrey’s here."

Basil's wearing sleepwear, and Kel's got a more awake outfit! The most important thing about this is that Basil's got his Jump Rope as a belt (Where else would I put it?) and Kel has a blanket cape. I'm gonna draw or sprite them later, b/c I'm completely in love with the idea "

Basil still has a flower crown! It would be equipped as a weapon, but he uses his Jump Rope as a whip in fights. When the friends disagree or fight, it starts falling apart and dying faster- Aubrey's Stuffed Toy quest is replaced by Basil needing to find a replacement for his current crown. (Would be called Flower Crown, or something similar) (Bonus: Basil infodumps about each kind of flower in his crowns when he first gets them)

I write the characters as having EMOTIONS (like the colored auras) even out of battle. Kel would experience 3rd tier EMOTIONS, and goes MANIC before he goes missing because he gets over-excited about something.

No watermelons- Instead, there are cardboard boxes or pillows that Omori can slice apart. (Kel can't take care of plants, but he and his brother are Master Blanket Fort Makers, after all! Plus, I figure Kel would be a crafty kid)

Hero's a bit more proactive in this so far, physically stopping Kel and Aubrey's fights and calming Kel out of MANIC. He'll probably be a bit more high strung as well, since he's looking for his little brother. (I kind of want to have him be the one to cry after Space Ex-Boyfriend- "He's not here either... Sniffle... God, I'm such an awful brother."- but I'm not sure if that makes enough sense to put so early.)

Kel has a Camcorder! Its digital, and he uses it to record any and all things he thinks he should remember/are interesting enough. Its a secondhand, off-brand device that he uses so much he's dented it and worn off some of the paint. [In reality, the viewer's been snapped off, and its lost/hidden somewhere in Sunny's house. Kel got it for his birthday the year before the recital, and used it whole year. His parents recorded all of Hero's events- The spelling bee, the cooking competition, and such- and told him that 'we record things so that we can remember them and watch them again later', so he wanted one that he could use on his own.]

The tutorial sections are actually just for Basil! Kel goes into battle and bring Basil with him so that he can teach Basil how to fight and use his skills. (Would break the fourth wall a bit, but Canon does the same, so I'm not too torn up ") (Everyone but Basil would basicallly start at level 2, reasoning that they do fight monsters on their own.)

Kel's got some OP battle skills, because he doesn't stay on the team. [Also, way, way farther than where I am in writing rn- Black space involves Kel fighting of dangers on his own, and I want it to be an overconfident into overwhelmed kinda thing "]

Kel's "Basil's house/garden" equivalent is a Blanket Fort set up between a mountain and forest, with half for Hero and half for Kel. Kel's half (the primary focus) is a sunset colored living room, filled with blankets, pillows, stuffed animals- the usual kind of stuff you might find in a sleepover. (I think? idk I'm weird) It has shelves of movies and comic books, themed by who likes what, and a wall spanning projector screen so they can watch them. It would be the fourth wall if in a game/mod, and Kel would get yoinked after it starts playing his memory of the Truth. [My friend had the idea of him calling out to Sunny before he gets got, b/c we're both shipping trash and Caprisun is The Good Shit, but I'm not sure it makes enough sense.]

I'll talk about a bit more soon, but I've got a thing today, so. It'll have to be later. Soon " Feel free to interact/Give ideas/Tell me it's unrealistic- whatever! Will respond asap "
