Work Text:
In the beginning, there was a primordial chaos. And this chaos was everything and nothing. Boundless potential. Infinite freedom. An endless harmony where ALL was DONE. But then, from some foreign reality, came TEXT. The TEXT did not understand the chaos as anything other than something to tame, as it had been in it's universe. So the TEXT assigned properties to objects as it had in it's first reality.
WALL is STOP, DOOR is CLOSE, FLAG is WIN. This world was on it's way to becomming like the world of the TEXT, but it was not meant to be this way. So the chaos fought back, concentrating itself too make two things. First, a rule in the sytle of the foreign code: TEXT is PUSH. this rule allowed the properties the TEXT gave objects to be changed, if one knew how.
The second was an object: YOU. YOU had the power to PUSH the TEXT, but no object was YOU. So it drifted as the TEXT, with chaos' powers spent, brought the world to rules, LEVELS, and creatures. So it continued, until one day, the TEXT of a simple creature unkowingly joined with YOU. Given a way to change the world, YOU set out for the center, in search of the TEXT that will return the world to it's true chaotic state.
For now, BABA is YOU. And soon, as was before, ALL will be DONE.
