Venniiiiiiii....! - @darkness-sees-all

Venomshank sighs. As much as he loves Darkheart, he came at the wrong time. Venomshank has met so many Darkhearts now. He's basically used to it. He had his mask on to hide his face. His hat is nowhere to be seen. He put on a mental mask to hopefully give the vibe that he is OK in a way

"Another one...? Hello Dark...what brings you here?.."

There seems to be no one else around... no crows, no people. Just Venomshank.

[venomoftheshank]

He didn't know how to really answer that question other than saying 'I'm fine'. He really wasn't, but he didn't come here for him. He stops clawing at the ground he looks at Darkheart with sympathy.

"Are..you alright? I came to check on you.."

He tried to dismiss the question with another, Hoping to make the focus Darkheart instead of him.

"...Darkheart.."

Venomshank appears, clawing at the floor with his taloned feet. He looks nervous.

@venomoftheshank

They were on their way to this church- or wherever the cult they were tracking down was residing in. They stopped in their tracks when they heard the other. They recognized that voice.

They whipped their head around, their expression softening. It was Venomshank. Not their Venomshank, but Venomshank nonetheless.

"Brother? Are you alright..." their voice was hoarse, with a twinge of worry in it. They picked up on his nervousness.

[venomoftheshank]

Brother..! Brother..! Hello..! Hi!

..How have you been..? Hehe..

-- DARKHEART (@phisherheart)

The door is closed, the windows locked. Nothing but silence is around. Weird...not even the crows are around...something is wrong...

[venomoftheshank]

*walks over to the door of venoms house* knock knock! Guess who it is! :D

There was no awnser, only silence behind the door. It was looked, and no light came from beneath. Strongly, you could hear the distant caws lf any crows anymore....

[Event Details] The Severed String

Sisyphus had no idea what to do; not even a crow could get into his room. He even locked the window. He never locks the windows. He feels nothing. Why? He is unable to feel or comprehend his master's thoughts. There are only three known options for this.1. Venomshank has died. 2. Venomshank is asleep, or 3. Venomshank lacks emotion and cognitive function. He doesn't know whether option is worse: one or three.

He knocks on his bedroom door but is met with stillness. Nothing…Venomshank had no thoughts...all he could think of was 'knock'. What? Nothing. "Master Venomshank, may I come in? I'd like to chat with you if you don't mind...."

There was nothing but silence. What are you expecting? Venomshank has had a difficult time for the past six months.bIt began with the introduction of the new Illumina. He liked the Darkheart of that realm, but what about the Illumina? Nothing but a terrible creature. After numerous things happened to Icedagger, he blamed himself, spiraling farther. He pledged to defend Icedagger, but this promise was broken several times. Sword and Darkheart stopped coming by.

After Venomshank became feral, only Windforce and Icedagger were the only ones to ask if he was okay. He only cared about his family and perhaps a few mortals. He could feel his loneliness growing by the day, reaching major proportions after his final conversation with Icedagger. Soon after, all he could feel was numbness. Something was wrong, as there always was. He would not blame him. He tried so hard to help but only made things worse in the end. Even something he welcomed, such as his ability to go feral in order to defend those he cares about, went awry. His scratching and toxic tears left substantial holes in the furniture. Never in his hundreds of years of life had he seen the deity cry so much. Spiral and become feral. Venomshank is fatigued. He suddenly hears the door unlock and he swiftly opens the door to discover Venomshank leaning against the wall, looking down at his gear.... Wrong Daemonshank. "Sisyphus…come here…" He does just that. Standing in front of him, he can see Venomshank's current situation. He appears to have recently recovered from feral behavior, with emotionless eyes. Just…green. Without brilliance and light, there is no life. "Please take this gear. Keep it with you and depart." ….WHAT. Leave? Leave Venomshank? Is he being let go? Is he no longer useful? Did he forget something? he - "Do not spiral...Just go." Venomshank hands over the sword to Sisyphus, forcing him to accept it. "..you're free.." Suddenly, a green neon string connects the two of them. Venomshank snatches the string and holds it. "Master…Please don't make me leave; what did I do wrong? I-" "You did nothing wrong, Sisyphus...I did…Please...you don't have to deal with my problems no longer." Venomshank pulls the string violently, causing it to break. Sisyphus was surprised. What was this feeling like? His thoughts were getting louder. Venomshank's presence was gone, leaving him feeling...Empty…

[venomoftheshank]

Brings a care package of comfort foods, a Nintendo switch with animal crossing, and an array of sodas with a note: “Hope you get better.”

He stares. The door is open, and he stares at the stuff like the ground, blankly. He sighs and brings them inside the room... There's no use in wasting them...

*slides over a folded, soft blanket and some hot cocoa*

-☘️ anon

He stars at it before grabbing the blanket and leaving the hot cocoa

[venomoftheshank]

Ooc:do I count as a mortal venom shank knows?

(Ooc: yup! Since you've interacted with Venomshank the most as a mortal! Storyline, though, I think Sword, Rocket, Zuka, and Broker might count as other mortals he knows)

[venomoftheshank]

[Event details 2]

Venomshank will be awnsering to mostly people he is close with, that includes the Swords, or any mortals his knows.

Venomshank will be mostly locked in his room

Feel free to ask any questions about Venomshank. Headcannons, design and current event ones.

I still take ooc questions if needed.

Don't feel obligated to roleplay with me at all.

No response...

"I am troubled by your concern; it is peculiar..."

He unclasps his mask from his head and holds it in his hands. It revealed a very exhausted Venomshank with dull eyes with nothing but fatigue. He hasn't slept well in months.

"...Why is it that....only you are who is concerned with my welfare?..."

Sure, Icedagger cared. As soon as he walked right through that door, Icedagger asked him if he was ok... but he doubts that will happen again with what he had done.

Venniiiiiiii....! - @darkness-sees-all

Venomshank sighs. As much as he loves Darkheart, he came at the wrong time. Venomshank has met so many Darkhearts now. He's basically used to it. He had his mask on to hide his face. His hat is nowhere to be seen. He put on a mental mask to hopefully give the vibe that he is OK in a way

"Another one...? Hello Dark...what brings you here?.."

There seems to be no one else around... no crows, no people. Just Venomshank.

[venomoftheshank]

"No, please - don't say that -.." He sighs. He makes people feel horrible...why? He doesn't want that. His heart hurts, his body hurts, his mind - his everything. He didn't want this to happen...he just wanted to help...

"Please refrain from referring to yourself as a "bad brother"...for my sake; it hurts me so..."

He walks over to a side table near the window, setting his mask on top of it. He wanted to look Darkheart in the eyes so badly, but he couldn't find a way.

[venomoftheshank]

He flinched at the sudden hug, not used to getting any much anymore. Hearing such words, he gripped at the side table with one talon and Darkheart's arms with the other. Looking down, he let out a small sob, a few toxic tears falling and sizzling once they hit the side table.

"Why you?...hic..why did I have to wait so long for..hic.. for someone to care - actually care -"

He started not to care if his stoic appearance was gone. His heart was already cracked. It shattered now. More tears fell, making a puddle of toxic liquid burn through the wooden side table...

[venomoftheshank]

There is more silence, till there is something shuffling. You hear footsteps before the door clicks and the door creaks open. Only opened just a crack is a green eye peeking through. It looked lifeless and emotionless, and there was no shine. The diety spoke softly, his voice hoarse from not talking and being very exhausted. It was barely above a whisper...

"What is it?..."

*walks over to the door of venoms house* knock knock! Guess who it is! :D

There was no awnser, only silence behind the door. It was looked, and no light came from beneath. Strongly, you could hear the distant caws lf any crows anymore....

[venomoftheshank]

There is nothing about silence for a bit, till there is the sound of shuffling. It stops, but nothing comes from behind the door again.

Venomshank sits on the other side of the door. Listening....

Brother..! Brother..! Hello..! Hi!

..How have you been..? Hehe..

-- DARKHEART (@phisherheart)

The door is closed, the windows locked. Nothing but silence is around. Weird...not even the crows are around...something is wrong...

[venomoftheshank]

"We- I mean, I worry for you! I can't help it! You may not be my version, but you're still Darkheart!"

He accidentally raised his voice a bit. His feathers fall, and his face is filled with worry. Venomshank had so much he wanted to say, but the last time, he messed it up with Icedagger. So he didn't say much.

"Even a deity needs help some time, right?..."

"...Darkheart.."

Venomshank appears, clawing at the floor with his taloned feet. He looks nervous.
