The Pink Void

The Pink Void is a small dimension accessed through the Sourceless Bells Gateway. It is home to a few children who live in isolation away from the stress of Hugauss taking control of their hardships and successes. Being in a deeper part of the Sourceless bells, metaphysical and emotions are easily manipulated in material ways.

It is very often visited by Otoho to help her clear her mind but she has no intentions of fully integrating herself into their easy but fruitless lives.

## Locations

### Pink Snowlands:

This place is very cold, bright, foggy and pink. Snow slowly falls to the ground most of the time with the occasional storm. There is some foliage which is often purple. This is the northern part of the dimension and also the largest. It is home to a town called Mainbre with around 60 of the residents.

### Pink Marsh:

It's a swamp area, with an even balance of pink water and pink snow land.

### Pink Darkness:

This is the spookiest area of the Pink Void that no one goes to. It's nearly pitch black starting with harsh sharp contrast between the pink. Giving it an alarming unnatural look. There is no transition, just a black void. At certain angles, trees are visible when there is regular pink void behind it. It's possible it could be a corruption. It has been there for many years and is far away from the town. It hasn't spread an inch.

### Pink Ocean:

This is also a very large part of the Pink Void. It is desolate and has a dock made of purple wood. The boats are also made of the same purple wood. No one's ever found its end as it seems to just go on and on.

### Pink Twilight:

The Pink Twilight is another ominous place, it is home to a large structure that is nearly the size of Hugauss's Star Nexus. Mainbre plans to settle there one day but it is very far away. Instead, they have prepared it as a fortified emergency living space in case something does invade the Pink Void. Possibly from the Pink Ocean or Pink Darkness since there are rumors going around.

### Outer Pink Void:

Far away, the world will transition into a dark pink area. Like a bright place with a dark filter put over it. The area surrounding this is of an unknown size.

It looks normal aside from the darkness that becomes visible when traveling out. Trees will also dwindle and the weather becomes more inclement.

Strangely, the Pink Ocean has a resistance to the Outer Pink Void.

## Residents

### Born Deads

The residents are not like Hugaussians mentally. They are locked at a young age, around 12-16. Their skin is lacking in detail and very pale, they have pink eyes, pale hair of varying colors and they wear soft clothes.

They are calm and morally competent. It's very hard to bother them within their confines. Their strange cute social skills are super contagious.

Anyone born there becomes a Born Dead. They aren't completely limited to the Pink Void, but their bodies can get irritable in Hugauss's more realistic conditions.

Born Deads seem to know a lot about morals but when they actually encounter challenges they tend to give up easily.

They are conditioned to effectively harnessing their constant happiness. However, normal Hugaussians report having breathing problems there from being a bit too happy. Prolonged exposure to this can cause a temporary feeling of content isolation, stagnation, drowsiness and not wanting anything. The Born Deads on the other hand handle this better due to figuring out how to handle it, but when it does happen to a visitor they will help out.

It's not serious enough to cause permanent mental illness to visitors since the Born Deads are helpful.

### Ennerie

Ennerie herself is not a Born Dead, but a normal Hugaussian of Tarelasian ancestry. She, like Otoho visits often. She comes there for the ingredients too and also the Born Dead's company.

### BirdTation

BirdTation is a sekaigas. He looks like a bird but is 2D. He is very tall, thin and has a large beak with a large eye that looks like it has always experienced the largest mess up in Hugaussian history and has gained access to 110% of its face muscles. He also always faces towards others so no one knows what is on the other side.

BirdTation simply resides in the Outer Pink Void and is a very rare sight. He helps Otoho in and out of the Pink Void by flipping himself. He can also teleport into his own dimensional rift by doing this but he doesn't have much in the way of interacting with anything physical due to his atom-thin body.

He is also a salesman because he can store things in his dimensional rift and can easily haul around an entire market which is quite useful to Otoho.

His personality is quite energetic and all over the place, he refers to Otoho as Ms. Ho. Due to his ethereal state, he could never hurt anyone and is quite polite.

In his past, he lived a fairly normal life and has made a massive profit due to his ability to carry around an entire store everywhere he goes. Because of this handy ability he isn't very good at giving advice due to easily being able to avoid conflict and threats at the flip of a bird.

## The Exchange

Born Deads spend a lot of their life in Happiness, but for it to work effectively they have to feel some kind of suffering in life.

They schedule an event once every 2 years to torture the residents of Mainbre. Every time is a new infliction of pain from various Hugaussian volunteers. However they do it in ways that they can recover from.

The amount of pain they feel is not just physical but there is a device they use to inflict temporary mental pain as well.

Not every single Born Dead needs to go through this. Only a select few. They are known as the Mainbre Transmutation Troops.

The guilt the others feel from not having to go through the pain is enough to supply the entire population with a bit of depression. However, in turn they live extremely well as a whole. The ones who are the happiest are the Mainbre Transmutation Troops. The ones who sacrifice the pain for the others.

## The Pink Void and The Astral Darkness

When Otoho arrived at the Pink Void out of curiosity, the Astral Darkness followed her because of their established relations and saw all of them engaging in extremely easy and rewarding lives to the point the dark being felt the most rage he has ever felt in his existence. The Astral Darkness grew a pair of teeth, his blanket arms grew claws and even muscle like lines. His eyes were bulging out of his V shaped head so much that more eyes were emerging.

As expected, it was a 1 v 1 between Otoho and the Astral Darkness, but because Otoho in any form is not capable of defeating him, she had to resort to using her scarf to pin down the Astral Darkness as she lead the inhabitants of Mainbre to Hugauss or risk all of them being killed. The stress the children felt when having to finally face the normal harsh world was enough to revert the Astral Darkness to a non-hostile state.

The Born Deads slowly began getting a slightly less paper-white skin tone, their hair became more natural and less puffy and their bodies got a bit more suited for their new lives. Thus, it was the dawn of a new race of Hugaussians known as the Nedawns. Which is a combination of Necro + Dawn with a change.

It is unknown what race these inhabitants were initially before entering the Pink Void, but they did technically qualify as a new race. They have an interesting ability of psychologically handling happiness and stimuli, since they can have any amount of it with seemingly no ill effect. Such as being rich without being depressed or not feeling guilt for feeling good. The downside to them is that they are more prone to stress when things go wrong and lack aggression when it comes to achieving higher goals.
