Shiiit, Llinos and Itsuki were coming close.
Out the corner of their eye, Nathan caught sight of his two sisters and grinned, teeth glistening in the harsh arena light. "Hey, you two're here!" Great- that way he could keep an eye on both of them at once. Though, that didn't mean anything great for the whole plan Lykos had set up.
"Stand behind me," Nathan instructed, shifting to a more defensive stance. Their axe-arm was braced in front of them like a shield. Couldn't afford to swap out now. "Llinos is a pain in the ass to fight, and Itsuki is...Itsuki."
They looked a bit different than before, though.

Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu 4/30/2024 3:15 PM
"I-if we- If we w-win," Zora started to speak, her voice still as strained and small as it had been before. She repeated Nora's words. "We can- We can g-go home..?"
A flicker of warmth beat out the emptiness within her. Home. Home. A place of warmth and soft yellow and pink walls, a place with a bunk bed and stars decorating the ceiling and plushies at every corner and safety and her family-
Her family. Even though she had been through a tremendous lot, they were still there. Her family still existed. All wasn't lost after all. There was still something to live for, to fight for.
A bit of the light began to return to her eyes as her fists illuminated with her light. She was prepared to fight for them.
She was ready.

Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺 4/30/2024 4:25 PM
Nora nodded, steadying her sister. “Mhm, w-we can go home- together. I- I won’t leave you, o-okay?”
Warmth washed over Nora at the sight of her big sibling.
A strange rush of energy buzzed through her. She wasn’t fighting for survival, she was fighting for her family.
Nora created a long red thread, readying herself for the fight.

Almost like a Pokemon battle, Isabelle didn't hesitate as the situation became clear. With all of her strength, she chucked the crystal into the air. Light flashed from it as two figures appeared on the ground beside her.

People just kept missing and missing- which was kinda good? Yeah? Didn't wanna really hurt anyone, but still.
Nathan took a half step forward to Llinos, aiming to swing...
@Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 4/30/2024 6:34 PM
Midway through his swing, a splitting migraine cut through his skull...
And he was forced to stop in his tracks...
"You will be fighting against your fellow competitors... Until further notice." Rakin instructed him..
And well, he was no longer able to consciously control his form..
@Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡ 4/30/2024 6:36 PM
rolling for who to attack


Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡ 4/30/2024 6:48 PM
As that pain shot through their skull, Nathan froze dead in his tracks, their ears ringing as Rakin spoke in their mind.
They began to shift.
Their body began to transform; their limbs became strangely angular and jagged- reminiscent of a goat? Some creature- and a dark purple haze began to eat it's way up his limbs, ending shortly at his bicep as similar to a toadlin's formed along his skin. Two jagged horns began to form- uneven and purple, followed shortly by a thin, thin tail.
If anyone had seen an Oni before, it would be a...somewhat familiar sight. Only somewhat.
Whatever this was, it was not Nathan anymore.
Competitors- behind.
It wheezed, bright white eyes staring blankly ahead as it's tail lashed violently back and forth. In one swift swing, the Oni whirled on their heel- hoof? -and swung a clawed hand at the person nearest to them, which just so happened to be Isabelle.

Llinos charged at Kenji, holding a cloak of goose feathers in her one hand. She leaped up toward him, and in mid-air, transformed in to a giant goose. With teeth!
She bit down on his arm and shook. @em | mallon 🎣 + kenji 🌒
8:05 PM
Seeing that everyone had split off in to groups, Raina decided to try to help each team.
Perhaps call it his anti-toad bias, but his first target was definitely Llinos, who was now also a goose somehow, and attached to Kenji. (edited)




Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 4/30/2024 8:08 PM
Raina grabbed the goose and yanked it off of Kenji, resulting in much angry honking.
"Sorry if that pinched you-" Raina apologized and held his hand over Kenji's arm... With a slight green glow, the teeth marks on his arm healed.

Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu 4/30/2024 10:22 PM
The sight of the Oni was familiar to Zora, that was for sure. The moment she saw Nathan change forms, her breath left her body. She found it difficult to breathe, and all of the confidence she had going into the fight was now gone, replaced with genuine fear and confusion.
"N-Nathan?!" Zora cried out. That couldn't be her brother, that couldn't be, things couldn't be going this way-
She had to be steady, she was their healer. She had to be steady.
Light formed above Isabelle, healing her a little bit as Zora tried to keep herself focused on the task at hand. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 @Gab | Ip🪩 + Subaru (Four points of healing for Isabelle)

Gab | Ip🪩 + Subaru 4/30/2024 10:23 PM
Isabelle heaved as the light washed over her. "Thanks Celena..." She was not going to voice her plan to knock Nathan tf out.

Nathan winced at the light, snarling in a voice not quite like theirs. They staggered back, trying to shield their eyes from that piercing brightness as they heard voices speak-
Nathan, what was that?
Celena, what was that?
They hated that light- it burned their skin (it didn't), it hurt their eyes, it was keeping the contestants safe.
It was all impulsive, reactionary. They had to stop them. Someone was getting healed- who was healing them, he had to stop them.
That fucking light was pissing them off.
Nathan opened his mouth, dark fog coalescing around his jaws as they sank into a defensive stance. Their claws dragged against the ground as that fog continued to build and build-
The fog was back, and he hated it.
-and suddenly, they fired a pulse of deep, dark energy, like venom, at the person beneath the light.

Nora was trying her hardest to catch Nathan, her focus leading to her not seeing the angry goose gunning for her.
She cried out in pain as the goose’s weird beak teeth tore into her arm.




Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 5/1/2024 8:16 PM
Raina ran up to Llinos and shocked her enough to make her loosen her grip. He moved her off of Nora and held her up in the air, out of reach.
"Sorry, toads can be a real menace. Do you need healing?" @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺

Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺 5/1/2024 8:27 PM
Nora had no idea who this vaguely Rakin looking man was! But he did get that mean birdie off of her.
“Wh-who are you? Um, y-you’re.. h-helping? Pl-please. Um, h-heal.”

"I am Raina, the man Rakin you have been seeing is some imposter based off me. I am sorry that he has hurt all of you." Raina said and straight up yeeted Llinos away. He moved his hand down to Nora's arm and over her would, healing it. (D7) @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺 (edited)

Their head hurts. They really, really hate this.
Between the noise, the light, the rush of energy past them and someone constantly bashing them in their leg over and over and over again, Nathan was starting to lose it.
Nathan's tail thrashes wildly behind them and they snarl, eyes wide with some inhumane sort of panic. He snaps, and another bolt of dark, smoldering energy launches itself from their mouth at Kenji.
@em | mallon 🎣 + kenji 🌒

em | mallon 🎣 + kenji 🌒 5/1/2024 11:04 PM
Kenji’s caught entirely off-guard by the sudden blast, and it hits him square in the chest. He skids back a few feet in the mud, wheezing sharply, as dark purple momentarily radiates through the veins in any visible skin.
The attack, coupled with the drain of his own powers, leaves a faint purple glow emanating from his chest. But for now, he’s still him.

Nora finally managed to catch Nathan!!
A lasso of red string tightens around them, and a small voice commands him, ”Stop.”
@Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡ 5/1/2024 11:16 PM
That voice is familiar. They have no fucking clue why.
Nathan thrashes wildly, but to no avail. The red string gets tighter and tighter around them, and their hooves slam against the dirt.
It hurts.
Eventually, they collapse to the ground, still thrashing and clawing at the string with increasing desperation. It feels familiar, around their wrists, but their mind is far too hazy to focus on why. They snap and snarl at whatever's nearest to them, claws digging into the ground.
Is he dying again? They don't want to die again.
@Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺

Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺 5/1/2024 11:21 PM
It worked- it worked!
“N-Nathan!” Nora ran to him, the string wrapped tight around her own hand.
Shaking with adrenaline, she smiled tearfully at her big brother. “N-Nathan it’s- it’s okay, I-I’m here.. y-you don’t have t-to listen to R-Rakin, I- Nora, N-Nora’s here..” The string seemed to guide the girl’s words directly into their mind, trying to force their way through the haze clouding it.
@Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡ 5/1/2024 11:45 PM
Nathan's still clawing at the string wrapped around them, their breathing suddenly picking up in franticity.
Nora. She's speaking to him. That's her voice. That's her powers.
"wwhym'i oni," they gasp. "wh.. hh."
Oni. Brother. That's him. Oni? Brother. Their head hurts.
His necklace bumps against clawed, inhuman fingers as he digs at his chest. He clutches at it desperately.
@Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺

Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺 5/1/2024 11:53 PM
Nora gasps, smiling shakily at him. “Nathan!! R-Rakin did ssomething, I- I don’t know, um.. b-but you woke up!! I-I’m so glad!!” Her hold on the string was tight, still bringing her words directly into his mind.

Nathan was still gasping loudly, clutching at their necklace for dear life. Rakin, did something- 'course he did. F'course he did.
While Nathan could clearly hear Nora's words, Zora's words felt distant- not quite piercing through that dark, clouded haze. They shrank away from Zora as she approached, claws digging into their palms. Deep, purple blood began to drip into the dirt.
Why were they like this. Their legs were wrong. Their hands were wrong. Their face was wrong. Their skin was wrong. Everything felt wrong and itchy and crawly and they hated everything.
Static crackled in the back of their throat as they tried to respond, but to no avail. The string was their lifeline, whether they knew it or not, and they continued to pull at it, trying to get it off.

Did Rakin turn him into an Oni? Could he do that? Could he do that? Why make him an Oni? Why this?

Breathe. Breathe. Breathe. That's all they had to do, just breathe. Their sisters were here. They were here. They'd be alright.
They lift their head as Isabelle launches herself at Itsuki, and their gaze shifts to Llinos. She's still standing
A row of small, dull spikes jut out from the ground, getting larger and larger as it races towards Llinos. It hits her square in the chest. Square.
"hhfhh," Nathan wheezes out.

As the form shrunk, Isabelle inevitably lost grip, laying on the ground. She needs a minute.

As Itsuki goes down, Kenji relaxes just enough to reign in his powers to a screeching halt. The ground under his feet withers instantly, and as he moves it trails along beneath him—he stops still a fair distance away from where Isabelle’s laying down.
His voice sounds strained, slightly, but he doesn’t seem to be too injured. There’s still that weird faint glow, though. “Hey, you...you okay?” @Gab | Ip🪩 + Subaru

Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡ 5/2/2024 8:39 PM
Nathan seemed to be doing...slightly better than before. They were still bunched up on the ground, but it was more that they couldn't really figure out how to sit with these legs.
Their gaze shifted up to Zora as she rushed over. While they didn't flinch away, they still seemed only slightly wary. White pupils on a background of white tracked every bit of movement she made.
Relax. Relax. Relax. Breathe.
"mmh," Nathan managed to get out. Their voice was still all crackly and staticky, and they couldn't really...understand what she was saying. But her voice was nice, and her voice was kind enough.

Nora took a moment to sit, the string still tight around her hand.
“Mhm, l-let’s just r-relax, breathe… me and Zora are here, um.. Nathan, a-are you ffeeling okay..? I- mm, I can.. ffeel there’s ssomething, um… c-controlling, or um.. trying t-to, but I- I don’t… don’t know h-how to fix it..”

Vanessa| Sovran+Zora+Cansu 5/2/2024 8:58 PM
"S-something's controlling him?" Zora asked her sister with concern. The girl looked worried as she looked to Nathan.
"Th-that might be why you've taken this form, but- It'll be okay! You can beat this, Nathan," Zora reassured them. "C-can you feel whatever's controlling you in your mind? I-I've heard people say that they could feel that something's wrong inside of their head, and that imagining themselves overcoming it or 'pushing it out' has worked.. At least, th-that was one way to deal with mind control, from what I could remember.. You have to be strong, Nathan, a-and you are strong. We believe in you."
Hesitating for just a moment, Zora rested a hand on top of Nathan's. She took note of the claws, but she wasn't scared. She knew Nathan could never hurt her. Squeezing their hand slightly, she gave Nathan a smile.
"You're strong, but you don't have to be strong alone. We're here with you, w-we'll help you." @Sauce | Nora🧶+Lykos🐺 @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡ 5/2/2024 10:08 PM
"...bad." Yup. Feeling bad alright.
Something was controlling him- Rakin, probably. Knowing him. Shiiit, he knew Rakin was gunna do something when he brought 'm back.
Mind control? Maybe it wasn't quite like that. They weren't really in control of themself, but they knew what was happening. They...kinda knew what they were doing.
(Only kind of, though. It was still a haze.)
This time, Nathan didn't flinch away when Zora neared, but pulled their claws back slightly as she held their hand. They didn't want to hurt her- they didn't want to hurt anyone else, especially not like this.
Their eyes were wide with some animalistic sort of fear as she spoke, her words just barely managing to get through to them.
Strong. They were here with them. They believed in them. They hadda be strong for them.
They lowered their head to the ground as it began to turn damp.
They had to be strong for their sisters.

Nora let out a breath as Nathan gently pulled back their claws from Zora. She could feel the fear radiating off of him, and her heart ached. That sort of fear was familiar..
Nora moved a bit closer to the two, setting her own hand on top of Zora’s and Nathan’s. “I- I know it’s sscary.. to be c-controlled.. but, um, w-we won’t.. l-let them hurt you a-anymore. W-we’re gonna go home, t-together.”

"Whatever happens, we'll face it together. You're not alone, you'll never have to be alone," Zora reassured. She even put a brave smile on her face, hoping to bring comfort to both of her siblings. "We'll- Snap you out of their control, and everything will be good, and- Just like Nora said, we'll go home together! We'll have all the strawberries, mangoes, and peaches that we could want! And- We'll have game nights, and maybe even do some camping, and just- Have everything be nice and comfortable!"
Zora's energy was infectious, radiating. The hope she had lost moments before when Sovran fell was now replaced with a dream for the future, one that she wanted to experience with her siblings.

Home?
Home. Yes, home. They were talking about that in the kitchen.
Jams and bubble tea and tea parties together. Boardgames and fruit salads, Zora's nice lil' garden.
They could go home together. They would go home together. They were all gonna go home together, and they'd be happy and safe and they wouldn't have to go through any of this shit ever again. He'd make sure if it.
No- no, they all would make sure of it. All of them were gonna do their best to keep everyone safe, no matter what.
They were siblings, after all. That's what siblings did.
Finally, there was some sort of response.
They let out a noise akin to a snicker- maybe a laugh- still staticky and strained, but it was some vague sort of Nathan noise nonetheless.
"nmm. .kay."

“Mhm! We’ll be home t-together!”

Kenji blinks, then slowly glances down. “…Oh.” The glow emanates from where his heart should be: dimming on the edges, but still strong in the center. “That, um.. That’s not. Ideal.” He takes a slight step back from Isabelle, glancing at the two unconscious amphibs on the ground nearby. “I-It, uh, it’s kind of like a warning sign. But if we’re— if we’re..done? It should go away..”
There’s commotion over towards the plaform, though, and Kenji sets his jaw once he spots the morphing rainbow stone. “Shit, that… That can’t be good…” @Gab | Ip🪩 + Subaru

Well, the explosion of blue gunk had extinguished Aldreda's wings, and left her free falling back in to the muck. With a crash and explosion of mud she landed, and moments later pushed herself up with an exasperated huff.
"Yeesh! Damn, gross!" She cursed and began to rub off whatever random blue liquid and mud she could with her bare hands.

Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡ 5/5/2024 5:24 PM
"Aldreda!"
There was a little girl in overalls running over to her, nearly slipping tail over heels in the muck and mud. She was waving like mad and grinning ear to ear. "Aldreda, we won! We did it! We kicked their ass!"
@Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 5/5/2024 5:26 PM
Aldreda was still furiously scraping at the slime as Connie approached, but paused as she got there.
"Concon! You did soooo good out there!" Aldreda smiled. "That lightning was sharp! And you never gave up, even after that ass kept targeting you! You're tough." @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡ 5/5/2024 5:32 PM
Whoops. Almost slipped again. Connie held on carefully to Poppy to ensure she wouldn't get the worst of it if she slipped.
"Aw, thank you, Aldie!- I still gotta come up with a good nickname- You did super great, too!" she laughed. "I saw all those fire feathers you kept launching! I didn't know you could do that, that was really awesome!"
Right, after she kept getting targeted o'er 'n frickin' o'er. Her clothes were still bloody in certain spots, but Raina's healing and Taylor's stitching seemed to mend up most of the jabby areas. But overall, she seemed pretty fine! "You didn't get hit once! I think! You were just swoopin', and, and diving around, you were awesome!"
@Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 5/5/2024 6:47 PM
"Any nickname is fine, I've heard all the bad ones plenty already." Aldreda chuckled and plopped down on the ground. The mud wasn't coming off, so might as well embrace it. "It's pretty easy to avoid getting hit when you bring wings to a fist fight! Doesn't quite work like that back in Avis, you might actually be at more risk in the air." @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡ 5/5/2024 8:01 PM
"I'll keep workin' on it! I think Goldie is nice too, but I'unno, you're more red than anything." Connie squats next to Aldreda, arms wrapped around her scuffed knees. "I guess it makes sense! Everyone can kinda fly in Avis, right? You're just on even ground with everyone, pretty much, eh?"
"I was thinking of Avis during the fight," she quietly says after a moment, pressing the side of her face against her arm. She's smiling now. "I really think I'd love t'go."
She was so doubtful they'd get out when Aldreda first introduced Avis to her, but now, more than anything, she wanted to go. She wanted to soar.
@Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 5/5/2024 8:08 PM
"Most people can fly! But there's some people who are flightless birds, like our giant fluffy ostriches. Their keepers are all knights and flightless." Aldreda said. She looked over at Connie, smiling a soft, caring smile. "Of course Concon, you'd be welcome. I can speed you through allathat immigration nonsense, we're still not great at tourism. And you can meet my nephew, and my remaining brothers in law, and my coven girlies, they'd absolutely love you! And there's always spare rooms open at our coven we'd just have to clean some things out- or you could stay at Bubo's lodge! He has a great big hotel hooked up to a ski slope and always has plenty of hot drinks and stew... Mm.. I miss that guy."
Unfortunately, midway through Aldreda's Avis advertising, Raina approached.
"Sorry to interrupt, I was just wondering if I could get those stones back? I think I am ready to bring people back." @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡ 5/5/2024 8:28 PM
If it were any possible, Connie's smile was growing wider and wider with each word. Avis sounded absolutely wonderful.
"I'd love to meet your family!" Connie laughed, beaming. "And I don't mind stayin' in a small- or- or cramped place, I can hang anywhere! And I don't mind waiting, either!" She was Connie the adventurer, Connie the postkiddo- constantly exploring Arcen Ciel and Stariel, and now, places beyond! "Ooo, a ski slope! Well, I'unno how to ski, but I'd like to try some hot cocoa 'n stuff! I think it'd be really fun!"
"Thank you," she sighed, absolutely content. "For- for everything, really. You've been super sweet and, and kind since we met, and- you helped me through a lot of really rough stuff. Thank you, and- and I really mean it too!"
Connie looked up from her spot on the ground as Raina approached, smiling bright at him, too. "Hi, Raina! The sto- oh- oh, s-sure, yeah!"
She carefully rummaged through her overalls pocket, taking great care not to jostle Poppy, and presented the totem and ten shards of Moses' crystal powers. "I didn't lose a single one, promise!"
@Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 5/5/2024 8:37 PM
Aldreda had never had her own kids. That was one of the abilities she had lost the day Avis decided to burn her and her friends.. And Altair had never been one to express his feelings in words very often... Aaaaaand her and her girls uh. Lifestyles didn't lend itself very well to adopting a kid to have around the house either. But having a part-time, low commitment kid come over every once in a while? She could do that. Especially if that kid was Connie.
"Psh, aw, Concon, you're melting my heart right nowwwww." Aldreda said softly, but was instantly back on guard when she saw Raina approach. He looked way too much like Rakin to be chill around.
"Thank you." Raina said and carefully took both the broken pieces and the large piece in the totem. "I'm going to step away and activate it, I don't exactly know what will happen."
He bowed to the two before walking off. @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡ 5/5/2024 8:48 PM
Ah, Otty would be so happy to know she was in the care of a trusted adult who also had phoenixy powers. Ooo, maybe she and Otty could meet, too!
"Good luck!" she called, waving as Raina departed. She'd bow too, but bowing while in a squat position would kinda mean she'd fall forwards. Not a fan of that.
As soon as Raina disappeared out of view, Connie immediately turned back to Aldreda, something bright sparking in her eyes. "And I mean it, too!" she exclaimed. "You helped me so much stuff here- you covered for me during that Fake Impostor Lykos fight, and- and you made sure I was doing alright in like, a buncha fights! I mean it, you really, really helped me a lot here!"
She was loud as usual, hands flying about as she chattered. "I'd love to go to Avis! I- I don't really care if it's scuffed or not, I really wanna go, especially if I'm going with you!"
@Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 5/5/2024 8:54 PM
"Awwwww kid reeaally- you're makin me blush! I don't deserve all this praise." Aldreda held her hands over her face. Fire danced in her hair again, making the mud and blue goop bubble and evaporate. "We'll go, we'll go, I promise! You do have to get back to your real family first though, Concon. I don't wanna kidnap you or anything to the bird city. The Feathering takes weeks at least, usually months! Kids prepare for it for years." @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡ 5/5/2024 9:16 PM
"Ffft, I mean, yeah, not right away!" Connie laughed, poking at Aldreda's hands. "And I was gonna also say! You gotta meet my family, too!"
Ouu, a month since she was home- she wondered how long it was, now. Was it longer? Was it the same? How different did time travel here and home?
"So there's Rei- she's my auntie, she also does fire powers and stuff! She started showing a lotta goat traits recently, which is kinda cool, and I introduced her 'n Lykos to each other like, on the phone call! That's what were were doing when you called Bridge," she started prattling. "She used to be in a tournament like this before, but ya! It was a really, really long time ago-"
"And Otty- Otter, they're my dama! They also used to be in a tournament, kinda like this! But instead it was like, tarrrrot or somethin'. Not space. They're super nice and do a lot of magic stuff! Otty's not really like, a classic witch? I guess? But they do a lot of astrology mapping and chalk circles! They made my overalls for me! I think you'd like them? I'unno! I think you'd like everyone, really!"
"Marshyyy, Marshall! He uh, wasn't in. A tournament. But he does a lot of flora science stuff! He loves studying flowers and medicine and stuff! He's super nice and really friendly, he's like, kinda, unkie-adjacent energy? Cousin? I'unno, he's still pretty cool! Also does rock stuff."
"Well, I mean, these guys aren't my real real family either, but they're still my family," she softly added, still poking at her hands. "And I feel like all'a you guys are my family, too. Every single one'a you guys, y'know? It's only been a few days, but...but it just really was a lot. And while, the uh, circumstances weren't fun? I'm really glad you were here...I'd like to call you Auntie, maybe? I'unno, like, Auntie Dredie or somethin'!"
"If. If y'want, that is, I'unno."
@Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 5/5/2024 9:31 PM
... It was very often someone wanted her to meet their family. Usually they very much didn't want Aldreda getting anywhere near their family!
"Hah- seems like you're from a long line of Tournament goers- that's a bit unfortunate!" Aldreda said. Oh she didn't even know alternate universe Arnette in Tarot too.. Did him and Otter ever talk??
"You're whole family sounds great- really!" Aldreda said. Hopefully Connie would not ask her what hers was like, she didn't even know where to start.. Who was the least dysfunctional..? Probably herself.. Maybe Abel.
But as Connie called her her auntie, Aldreda felt so warm that all the muck just evaporated right off of her.
"A-awwwwwwwwwww, Concon!" She laughed, shaking out her arms to try to release some of that heat so she could eventually hug the girl. "Yes, that's totally fine! Now I'm an Auntie x2!" @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡ 5/5/2024 10:24 PM
"A really long line, pretty much! I'm just hoping Marshall doesn't uh, continue that line. Yeah. But I've heard about it in stories as a kid! Rei told me them- actually, I think you might like Rei the most! Yeah, 'cause she does fire and wild magic and stuff. Okay, that's my answer, it's Rei!"
Suddenly, Connie was blasted by a good bit of heat, and she just laughed delightfully, not bothering to retreat from the sudden warmth. "Heck yeah! Auntie Number Two! Auntie Aldie! Double A! Like a Triple A battery, but I guess without an A!"
Auntie! Aw, Connie was just collecting family here 'n there 'n everywhere. Heck yeah! Family Magnet Connie, that's what people also called her.
"And, um! I'd like t'meet your family too, maybe? If you want, that is! I know you, uh. Mentioned your brother before. Yeagh. And Bridge, oh, shoot, Bridge!"
@Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 5/5/2024 10:49 PM
"Fire and wild magic? That IS right up my alley!" Aldreda said. "If you wanna keep up the name thing, my whole name is Aldreda Aurelian Aetius- so that's three A's!"
Though, her flames died down a bit at the mention of her family. The family that was recently missing two of its most important pieces. Arnette had died of Arnette causes while she was gone, really no big surprise.. But Bridge..
He didn't need to die- no, he shouldn't have died. She had called him, and with his blind determination he.. gave his life trying to save her. That would be a lot to explain to the other two programs back home.
"Ah. I think I'd rather not talk about my family too much until I can get back there and see who's left. Sorry." @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡ 5/5/2024 11:00 PM
Connie's smile faltered as the flames wavered, a look of sympathy washing over her face.
"Aw, that's alright!" Connie softly said. She carefully patted Aldreda's hand, feeling a bit bad for bringing up Bridge so suddenly. "We don't gotta talk about it, it's all good. Um, we can talk about somethin' else if you want! Or we can just sit, I'unno."
She didn't really know Bridge too much- just from what Aldreda told her in bits here and there. But she could tell it was taking a bit of a toll on her already. Nonetheless, she'd be here to support her as best as she probably could.
@Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 5/5/2024 11:08 PM
Aldreda's hand was still nice and warm.
"Hah. Yeah just.. sittin' sounds nice. Sittin and not worrying about my life ending at any moment.. and not worrying about your life ending at any moment either." Aldreda moved her hand to boop her on the nose. "You gotta promise me that you'll find a therapist when you get home! This will ruin your life forever!!!" @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡ 5/5/2024 11:14 PM
"Yeup," Connie sighs, squeezing her hand a little bit. Warm 'n toasty. "Just sitting is pretty nice, too. Here in the mud and egg goop." At that, she sits fully on the ground, her legs starting to ache from the constant squatting. Now the both of them were sitting in goop. She giggled a bit as Aldreda booped her nose, playfully swatting at her hand.
"Auug, my nose," she bemoaned, still giggling al the while. She cracked an eye open to look at Aldreda, some puzzled half-expression on her face. "What's'a therapist?"
Seconds later, Connie was already fumbling, "I'm joking, I'm kidding! I'm joking, I know what a therapist is, my dama taught me what therapy is, I was kidding! Um! Yeah! Probably wasn't a really funny joke, but I know what a therapist is! Yeah! Yeah. Hoo, boy. Therapy."
Awww, man. Therapy. Her old one was gonna have a field day with her noggin.
@Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 5/6/2024 8:10 AM
Well, Connie did get her for a moment there. Instantly she was trying to think of the perfect pitch for a therapist- something she had had to do with Altair who knows how many times unsuccessfully- but thankfully Connie dropped the joking tone.
"Good! If you can't find one back home, I know a few in Avis! I'm actually the first licensed relationship therapist there." Aldreda laughed and looked over at Connie to see if she'd believe that. @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡ 5/6/2024 12:00 PM
Avis again! Hell yeah, they had everything!
"Ooo, that's actually pretty cool!" she laughed, clapping a little politely. "Um. Um, what's a relationship therapist?"
@Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 5/6/2024 1:53 PM

"Oh, Moses told me about divorce!" Not a super fun thing! "But huh, I didn't know they had people to like, help 'em with that! And you're one of those guys? Like, the first one? In uh, Avis, prolly not th'whole world."

Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡ 5/7/2024 1:49 PM
"Oh!" Connie should'a guessed, but she's verrry trustworthy-trusting. "Well, if it's anything, you were pretty convincing! You even convinced me!"
Nestling her chin in her hand, she asked, "do you guys have like, kiddy therapists? Or like, just adult ones? If I went to one in Avis, like- well, not like the relationship guys, I...I'unno, I guess talking to an adult therapist is a biiit better, but like. I'unno."

Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽 5/8/2024 9:55 AM
"Yeah, we have a lot of child therapists that come to Avis every few weeks, those kids need all the help they can get!" Aldreda nodded. "It might be best for you to get a therapist at your own town, but we have some limited internet and phone service now if you need to call anyone." @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡ 5/8/2024 10:18 PM
Aww, she could call them!
"I'll! Definitely look into getting a therapist at home," Connie agreed, nodding. "But I'll be sure t'call, too- if I need t'call you guys- oh, andmundane stuff too! And hey, if y'want, um!

"I wouldn't count here for nothin, you got plenty a time to explore for real!" Aldreda said. "And Avis is kinda in England, do you know where that is? Europe?" @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

"Probably! But we get around just fine, most countries don't even ask for a passport as we go by! Once you get your wings, you can go just about anywhere.." @Kipology | Nathan 🏺 + Connie ⚡

"Woah! I don't have a passport, though, so it miiight take me a bit to get to you guys! But I'll definitely go when I can!"
There- in the distance, seemed someone kinda familiar? Kinda!
"I think...that's Lykos over there?" Connie said after a moment, a bit puzzled. "I mean. They look humany? But I...think that's them!"
Connie stood, slowly, carefully, groaning only a liiittle bit. She was too young to be tired and sore, aiya. "I think I'm gonna go see if that's them!"
