Season 2

The SMP monument for Season 2

# Season 2: Mandela Effect

Season 2 was the second season of the Accidental SMP story, taking place after a sudden reset of the world, the season is themes around memories, and how easily lost, changed or replaced they can be. Inspired by the mandela effect theory, the season comes after season one's abrupt end with the caveat that now some of our characters are slight parallel universe variants, and others, entirely different people. The season's home destination was the "Unnamed Town" setting.

This season is currently in progress.

## Plot

### The Mushroom Saga

The Mushroom King was a primary antagonist in the season, revealing himself to a new organisation, the Coven, which formed after Moss and Chochy made a sigil in town and decided a witches coven should form around the ancient gods which Moss had heard rumour had reawakened. After Chochy and Alex noticed Moss could speak for The Mushroom King, they asked him for information on their missing memories, but lost Moss in the process, even if they learned the world really was reset. Hoping that Moss' description of an endlike plane of existence would be enough to bring them back, they vowed to do "whatever it takes" to get Moss back.

### Island Escapades

A mysterious new version of Nate appeared for the season in early August, promising an alluring new location that could bring members of the SMP together. With some reluctance, Chochy and Alex visited the supposedly extravagant Pleasure Island, seeing nothing but an abundance of donkeys and several safety hazards. They also noticed that time didn't work normally on the island, with the consequences being unclear. Nate insisted that rides and customers were there, but there was nothing excluding a very tall tower with slime blocks at the bottom.

After helping Nate to expel the curse on the island that would turn customers into donkeys, Alex and Chochy returned to Unnamed Town and sat down in The Moobloom in the Square. After accidentally dropping one of their journals, Alex reluctantly revealed to Chochy that they were formerly a time traveller. Despite insisting that Chochy would've learned the truth eventually, it wasn't enough, and Chochy went with Nate to Pleasure Island, saying that they needed time and thus leaving their marriage in a confusing state.

## Subplots

### A Fishy Business

A new business opened in town not long after the world began, situated off the port of town. Fishy Business, ran by Liz and Luca was a business providing an unknown export they demanded was not meat, and insisted was not up to anything. The company had strict rules about visiting, with NDAs in place requiring those not working for them to speak nothing, those wondering about it had to take measures of sneaking around to find out what they were up to.

### An Oblivious but Caring Organisation

The Nubbs Foundation was an organisation determined on helping people, ran by Roxy. They aimed to help everyone in the region with charitable donations, symbols of friendship and all sorts, but they had no idea what their partner Luca was up to in the Fishy Business either.

## Trivia

* This was the first season to have preplanned story elements, even if the base improv was still at the crux of operations
* This season was conceived on the idea of the mandela effect due to Leon's love of the sci-fi concept, and the fact it would allow simultaneously big changes to the status quo and continuations of old storylines that were unfinished
* The Coven was initially conceived as a joke idea on stream, and as a subplot, but increasingly gained importance while people collaborated on it's story and themes
* Fishy business was originally going to flood the entire townscape before season end, but this was changed to releasing the wither later due to concerns over keeping the world intact as this was not meant to end the world like season one
