(Damn, that's dark!)
Valerie's own memories come back to her, after the first war she fought in… her scream rise in intensity as she remembers holding her own knife, reaching behind her and doing her best to cut her wings off, people rushing into the room at the screams of pain and the cries of sadness that tear themselves from Valerie. She wrenches her mind away from those thoughts, her screams going silent as she finally allows herself to relive her past.
(Yuh yuh DX He's not even my most fucked up character though D':)
(Damn, that in and of itself is fucked! Aiden is wayyyy worse than Val though- honestly, there's so much to that boi that I start bawling my eyes out when I think of him.)
Auretta’s own memories start rushing back. The screaming…the pain…everything from when Camilla and Hexila had her captured, alongside her friends. They were tortured for months…it was almost unbearable. The past overwhelms her as she screams in agony, sobbing while she clings to Nori and Val.
(Fuck it, let's get Aiden in here, lmao!)
Val eventually stops sobbing, and dries her face, wrapping Nori and Auretta in a tight hug. "I- I'm sorry… it's going to be okay… just breath, okay? Just breath…"
Aiden enters the world nearby, then hears two people crying and a third, familiar voice comforting them. He walks over the crest of a hill, then finds Valerie hugging two other people tightly, trying her best to comfort them. He notices her nearly naked body, but doesn't comment as he gently prods each of the people's minds to calm them down.
Auretta’s crying becomes quieter as she clings to the others. She tries to breathe but almost chokes on her tears.
(Aiden!!! Baby!!!)
Nori quiets his sobs a little, looking up to see someone… new. Someone who looked as equally hurt. Maybe even more. Someone who was doing his best to comfort them. Nori, without knowing this stranger, hugs him tightly, whispering a few ‘thank you’s as his tears begin to subside
Auretta soon calms down, tears still staining her cheeks as she weakly lifts her head up. She mutters a few words of thanks as she lowers her head.
Nori gathers Auretta into the hug, sniffing as the last few tears fell down his face. “It’s okay. It’s okay.”
Auretta clings to Nori, calming down a bit more as she finally stops crying. “Thank you…Thank you…” she mumbles.
(Lmao, yes!)
Aiden nods. "You're both welcome. I'm Aiden."
Val looks up. "Yes, I know you." she sniffs.
Nori wipes more tears from his face, smiling up at Aiden. “I uh… I’m Nori. I’m sorry you had to meet me like this.”
Auretta wipes her eyes. “I-I’m Auretta…I’m sorry that you met me like this too,” she sighs, standing up shakily.
"It's okay, I get it. Memories get to be too much sometimes." Aiden says, smiling softly. Val nods, staying silent lest she start crying again.
Auretta nods sadly. “Y-Yeah…” she mumbles, trying to fight back the urge to cry again. “T-They’re pretty bad…”
Aiden sees her urge to cry and wraps her in a hug, saying "Don't worry. It will get better over time."
Auretta hugs Aiden back. “I-I hope so…” she mumbles, shutting her eyes gently.
Nori sniffs, smiling at Aiden. “Thank you.” He says again
"It will, trust me…" Aiden says, chuckling. He looks to Nori. "You're welcome, although I do this for my own mental health."
Nori shifts, laughing softly. “I appreciate it.” He says, blushing slightly. shit, Nori. What the hell are you doing??
Auretta nods, suddenly feeling homesick and missing her friends. “Me too…”
(Ah, Nori's crushing on Aiden as well as you? Hah!)
(Also, I forgot to mention this in the other chat, but Aiden is also inked up all up and down his arms and the back of his neck. Arcane sigils, secial words/phrases, that sort of shit.)
Aiden smiles, noticing Nori's slight blush. I seem to have this effect on a lot of people… He releases Auretta and walks over to Nori, crouching down in front of him. Val watches Aiden move. He's the prettiest dude I know…
"So… why are you in this world, Nori? What brought you here, besides Valerie here?" Aiden asks.
Auretta opens her mouth to say something when five females fall out of the sky, landing behind her. “What the-“ she turns her head before gasping.
Spark Venicat, Phoenix Rose, Winter Icebringer, Aurora Stoneheart, and Brooke Abano have joined the chat
Aiden and Valerie whirl. "Who are they?"
