Corruption

Something's crawling under your skin...

"That's not meant to look like that."

"Your veins are turning black..."

"You're not meant to be blistering like that..."

"I'm worried about what's wrong with you."

"Something's wrong."

"You don't look right, can I help?"

"Wait - why is that black?"

"It's like you're... rotting. From the inside out."

"You need to bandage that before it gets worse."

"How did this happen to you..?"

"You're diseased or something."

"I can see it, crawling through you..."

"Gods help you now."

"We can't fix this, can we? You're just going to rot away."

"It's fine, I'm sure, it just... keeps crawling through me."

"There's some kind of rot in me."

"I can feel it, squirming into my skin."

"Gods, it's getting worse - I can see the lines crawling up."

"How deep does this go into me? My heart?"

"It's in my eyes now, I think."

"I want to cut it out of me, but I don't think I can."

"It all tastes bad."

"There's something... in me... it's bad... I think..."

"I can see the lines crawling up towards my heart..."

Hidden Injuries

"Wait - you're bleeding."

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"Okay, I have you, I have you -"

"Don't you dare pass out on me."

"You good? You look a little pale."

"Your shirt... is that blood?"

"Oh, my god, are you serious? I think it's broken!"

"Why would you hide this from us?!"

"Okay - okay, breathe. We're going to help you."

"You idiot! You could have died!"

"I'm - I'm calling an ambulance -"

"Why are you breathing so shallowly?"

"You can barely stand."

"Sit down. Right now."

"I'm going to fix you up, but you have to sit still."

"I've had worse."

"It's not that bad, really..."

"I'm just a little... light headed...."

"It's barely bleeding at all."

"Aw, man, I liked this shirt."

"Oh, yeah that's... huh. That's a lot of blood."

"I'm just gonna sit right here... for a minute..."

"My chest really... hurts..."

"I can't really breathe -"

"Ow. It's fine. Ow."

"I can handle it myself."

"Oh, that? Yeah it's just... it's just a little blood..."

"Barely touched me."

"Why are there two of you?"

"I'll be fine. I'm great. I'm - I'm fantastic. Don't worry about me! I'm just gonna go... into this really nice... warm light..."

"That can be a hard feeling to come by. I know at least one of my kiddos struggle with that one." She wasn't going to say which one or ones, but she also knew it was more than one. Bells nodded as she listened, letting Reed process his own thoughts without judgment. He had a good head on his shoulders and, sometimes, a person just needed their thoughts validated. "Makes sense that you're feeling so worn out. You've been dealing with a lot in a relatively short span of time. If I knew, well, anything about your dad, I would be more than happy to share that information, but I honestly never met him. I know Britt and Lyri knew him pretty well, but definitely not in the same ways his parents did, so I can understand completely why you'd be seeking that connection out. I think it's a good idea and you're also allowed to change your mind at any time." It was important that he understood no choices he made needed to be final and that he would have support no matter his choice. "I think we're doing soup for dinner tonight. Chicken noodle from scratch. I'm not cooking it because no one needs food poisoning."

"It's the only time I've felt like I belong somewhere." Even if people kept telling him he belonged right where he was, that they wanted him around, nothing felt the same as it did when he was with Finn. The fact that Bells could relate and understood what he was talking about was nice. Even better that she didn't dismiss his feelings about her brother. "He made the offer shortly after we met the first time but told me it was open ended and I didn't have to make a decision right away but he asked a couple more times after he saw my place." It was very small and cramped and Reed didn't own much at all - he knew his grandfather was concerned. "At first I didn't know if I could trust him but I realize I was wrong about that. Lately I've just been so tired. He's also one of the few people who will talk about my dad, what he remembers anyway. I think it would be a good place for me. I want to know what it would have been like growing up with the people I was meant to grow up with. I think staying with Felix is my best chance at getting a glimpse of that." He sighed, feeling like he'd just let out a lot when really all he'd done was say 'yes.' "... Then I should probably stay. Finn's not gonna complain."

"I know that feeling." Hawk was home to her and there was nowhere she felt more at ease than curled up with him. "Good. You deserve to feel safe." Her eyes brightened a little at that, an amused smile twisting her lips at the mention of Izzy blabbing. It made sense, in a way, that he was friends with Genesis of all people. "Is that something you'd be interested in? Living with Felix primarily?" It was worth knowing where Reed was at mentally and that seemed like a big step. "Yes, honey, the coat comment was really about the weather. It's fucking freezing outside."

"Finn feels like home," he admitted quietly. "And, yeah, lately I've needed that. And you make me feel safe, too." It was simply that Reed had never been in one spot for very long without feeling like he was a problem. "No, he'd feel bad because he's trying to surprise me with a space of my own - Izzy blabbed - and I let my apartment go because I couldn't afford it anymore but he's not ready yet and I don't want to spoil it." As he rambled on he stopped and, for a moment, looked confused. "So it really is about the weather?"

for your consideration: vera finds a stray or, this feels slightly more likely, a stray finds vera

Name: Alon

Gender: male

General appearance: a lot of simple clothes that still manage to look amazing

Personality: Can be quiet and observent in unfamiliar places but is generally more open and friendly in places he feels comfortable

Special talents: He's a dragon like bird, similar to Minokawa but much smaller

Who they like better: Vera's the only parent he really knows

Who they take after more: A good mix of his mom and different aunts and uncles

Personal headcanon: It might not have been wise for a more avian type creature to follow after a very feline shifter, but Alon thought her hair was pretty so he followed her for a few blocks before she stopped and caught sight of him. She had studied him for a few moments before telling him he could come home with her and he rode the rest of the way on her shoulder.

It would take another week for him take on a more human appearance.

fuck it gonna send some wild ones so you can have fun: a rayner oops baby from a one night stand?

Name: Oscar

Gender: male

General appearance: dresses like a slightly softer version of his dad

Personality: Bitter and quick to lash out

Special talents: a lot of death and blood magic coupled with glamour and some elemental based magic

Who they like better: He doesn't remember his mom

Who they take after more: Rayner

Personal headcanon: Oscar was pretty much dumped on Ray's doorstep with a note saying "Drown the little fucker if you don't want it". While he had never wanted a kid, he still took him and tried his best.

Oscar was told from a very young age why he didn't have a mom. Ray could have worded it way better or explained it when he was older, but he didn't realize the damage blunt honesty was going to do.

Cree could understand that. Hell, Amber had been with them nearly her entire life and she was still learning what it meant to be part of the family. He wasn't entirely sure she would ever learn but Darcy seemed to be adapting well enough from what he heard. "I ain't got no issue with it," he stated plainly, rolling the sleeve of his shirt up to reveal a rather nasty scar along his forearm. "Kai was trusted to babysit all of one time and he stood there and watched me almost die before callin' ma or dad. Learned pretty quick he didn't give a damn what happened to no one outside of Fi." It was impressive and terrifying that Kai had latched onto their oldest brother but Cree tried to stay out of it. "You ain't never seen a pissed or scared shifter, have you? One that's shifted, I mean." He was willing to put money on that one. "Reckon you are wanted 'round here. Don't know you well enough to have my own opinion on that yet but ma clearly wants you here and that's enough for me."

"So I'm learning." It seemed so normal for them all to just accept him as he was. Darcy wasn't used to that so it was a little weird but he did appreciate it. It made him feel like he'd made the right decision in deciding to join Belladonna's family. "Sorry, don't mean to be so negative but... he crossed some lines and I have some business to attend to concerning him." Then hopefully Callie and her family could find some peace and, if it really went in their favor, Kai would leave them alone. "He wouldn't hurt a fly," Darcy insisted. Sure, Atlas was a liger and technically could cause a lot of damage if he wanted but all he saw was his cuddly sweet bean and no one could change that image for him. Even if Cree was technically correct. "I'm sure your boyfriend sees you the same way and I'm pretty sure you could defend yourself with ease." Darcy nodded at that, having heard the same from others. "It made me feel wanted here, that's for sure. It was more than words could say."
