#event: bird of prey

[divine-swordsmaster]

Elliot stumbled out of his room. He wasn't doing great but he could've sworn..

Whatever it was it gave him a bad bad feeling. He gathered his strength to run to Shedletsky's room, something felt off something felt so off.

He didn't even knock, instead opening the door and nearly falling into the room.

"Shed?" He called, his voice gentle and full of concern.

[!!! GORE AHEAD !!!]

-> The sight before the support survivor was... Surely fucking something! The sentinel, who was still mostly bandaged up from a... "Previous event", was lying on the floor on his hands and knees, back facing the doorway. -> He was gagging, gagging and choking, trying to cough up something from deep within his throat. His back... Oh god his back... Pool was running down it, two holes ripped into the shirt to reveal... Wings. -> Disgusting black and green wings that looked... A little broken, a little all over the place. Some of the feathers were stained with the sentinel's own blood.

[bestial-corruption]

God, King

Stillness. The air thick with something indescribable, untouchable. The faded trees danced, ruined limbs scraping against the blackened sky. The “stars” hung above, uncaring, unfeeling. They shined for no one but themselves, making a false sense of reality in a world that shouldn’t even exist, that shouldn’t have been allowed to be created in the first place. Feathers shifted, robes rustled. Someone was walking over the sunken earth, steps making no noise as they approached what looked to be a mass of corruption, a faint droning hum filling the space within. Telamon. A god, an angel, whatever you wanted to call him, was soaked in anger. With talons outstretched, wings pushed out to their absolute limit. He was ready to attack, to fight tooth and nail to reunite with his shell, to bring back the man everyone knew and loved. Even if him and Shedletsky never seemed to see eye to eye, Telamon understood the man’s purpose. Shedletsky was just as important to people as he was to the hills. He knew what needed to be done. Jagged rocks, the buzz of corruption, Telamon drew closer and closer, his one eye peeking out through the darkness his hood provided. He wanted to fight, to rip and tear, but he’d be patient. Oh so fucking patient. He and Shedletsky were similar in one way, neither was willing to strike unless struck at first. An honorable practice amongst the greatest of swordsmen and their predecessors. Swollen rocks of pure corruption formed themselves into a throne of deceit, one fitting only the greatest of tyrants. There he sat, John Doe himself, the self-proclaimed “King of Corruption”, the one who’d bring all of the bloodthirsty monsters out of the hellhole and plunge Robloxia into madness. Telamon’s wings twitched at the mere thought, his talons flexing when a laugh could be heard from atop the throne. “You look tense, Telamon. Why not take a seat, hm?” Smooth. Smooth, charming, a man’s voice that could draw you in, hold you close and cradle your mind into believing anything he wanted. Telamon wasn’t swayed however. “Tell me how to fix what you’ve done, John. I was mistaken to believe 1x had something to do with what happened to our shared shell… But the moment I found out YOU had something that belongs to ME, it all clicked… You caused this. You turned Shedletsky into what he is now!” John only chuckled, leaning back in his throne without a care in the world, loyal guard dog curled around the base, red eyes staring holes into the angel.

“Isn’t it obvious what needs to be done, Telamon? Every infection has its source, does it not?” The angel stood there, talons continuing to flex in and out, desperate to grab for his sword and strike. The king’s words didn’t seem to process to him at first, sitting in his mind like a brick. “Every infection has its source”? What did he- Oh. His pupil drew in, wings falling slightly. No, he couldn’t be- “You’re…” “I am implying what you believe, Telamon.” The king rose from his throne, stopping only mere feet away from the angel. Telamon felt a tightness in his chest, the buzz of corruption getting louder and louder. It felt sickening, it made his stomach churn. “I can’t do that to him- He’s already lost them once! He’ll be-” “Then I suppose you want to leave him like this, hm?” The king cut in, drawing closer with a relaxed smirk dressing his features. “You want to leave him as a dumb bird then, yes? Your desire to not repeat history will come to bite you, Telamon. Are you really going to risk everyone because you don’t want to repeat what had already happened?” A low hiss escaped the angel’s lips as he finally gripped the handle of his sword, talons slightly digging into the material wrapped around the handle. He didn’t want to repeat history, he didn’t want to see Shedletsky in such pain like that ever again. But… Could he really leave Shedletsky like that? Could he really continue his own existence like this? “You’re a bastard.” the angel hissed, a flare of rage igniting in his chest. “And you’re nothing more than the product of a man who can’t handle himself. We both know this, Telamon. I don’t fear you.” Anger. A biting, scathing anger gripped the angel’s mind. He wanted to scream, to lash out, to attack until he couldn’t anymore. But he knew what needed to be done, he knew that wasting more time was detrimental. “You’ll get what you deserve, John Doe. Every vile creature like you does.” “We’ll see about that, angel.”

[malice-monarch]

"I hate that I have to share this existence with you of all beings right now..." "I'm not enjoying myself either... It makes two of us."

[divine-swordsmaster]

-> Sheds smiled. That same old stupid smile he always wore. But he looked a little... Different per say! His head wings were fanned out slightly, brown feathers fluffed up almost cutely, clearly excited to see the other admin. -> But... Those disgusting looking wings that now adorned his back, soft yet glossy looking. Colored in black and green, one looked alright and the other was... Clearly broken. Broken and limp, he wouldn't be able to fly with a wing like that. -> He chirped happily, moving forward and quickly embracing the other admin tightly.

-> There was indeed something outside of the support's window, the low light and shadowy nighttime causing the figure to... Look a little more monstrous than it should've been! -> But that mass of curly locs could only belong to one person. - @divine-swordsmaster

[His eyes were wide as he took a step back, not expecting to see something so worrisome. He didn't take his eyes off of the window, however, examining the silhouette. Despite his initial concern, seeing the familiar details that hit best friend bore gave him some ease, some comfort. It was Sheds, he was sure.

He pulled his unbalanced body to the door and wrapped his claws around the knob, turning it slowly. Sheds was here.. Sheds was here to save him..]

"..Sheds..?" [He coughed out.

But as he opened the door and gazed up at the form meeting his own eyes, he had very quickly noticed that something was... Very wrong here.]

(Lineart under the cut!)

[malice-monarch]

-> Deep brown wings with golden tips, darkened robes with golden accents and strange runes lining them. Something about the figure felt... Familiar. -> Painfully familiar.

-> A figure. Someone was in the distance. - @malice-monarch [.....?]

— Having nothing better to do, the judge went over to where the figure was. His heavy footsteps making himself well known.

[tinkerbitch69]

[nastylittleghouls]

Aether: *carrying Dewdrop and Sunshine slung over his shoulders back to the ghoul wing* What the hell were you thinking?! Dewdrop and Sunshine simultaneously: Releasing birds at a wedding is romantic! Aether: Yeah, but you released ostriches!

[divine-swordsmaster]

It didn’t want to bother the avian with its issues. Shedletsky was his boss. Although he wanted to ask him a question…he knocked on the door hesitantly.

@tripmine-demolition

-> There was no response when Taph knocked on the door which was... Odd, very odd. Sheds was normally always responsive to people whenever they'd come walking up to his and Builds' room.

[divine-swordsmaster]

-> A happy trill escapes the sentinel, something he rarely even did before this whole... Whatever is happening happened to him! Normally the sentinel would just let out the occasional chirp or coo. Nothing more, nothing less. -> He settled the pair into the bed carefully, snuggling up close and laying his one wing over the two of them as like a makeshift blanket of sorts. He placed more of those clumsy kisses onto the support's face, head wings flapping happily.

-> A couple pained little chirps could be heard...

- @divine-swordsmaster

Builds was an idiot, but not that big of an idiot. He had an idea of what was going on- he’d heard his screech of pain himself. Swords damn him for not being there when he had happened...

”Sheds…”

He walked over from where he was standing in the doorway and knelt down next to Sheds, reaching out with uncertainty. Well, better late than never, was it?

⬆️ LIVE BIRD ⬆️

[malice-monarch]

-> Telamon didn't like what he was doing, setting out a trail for a certain birdman to follow. He felt bad, for once in his life, he felt BAD for his actions. -> Telamon waited, watched, as a certain birdman slowly came into view. Wings large and glossy, one wrapped up in gauze. Telamon didn't know when that happened nor did he really care. "I'm so sorry, storm chaser... And may the swords forgive me for the vile hand I shall lay on you..."

[dchuntress]

bop 1999 must've been so insane from zinda's perspective like imagine being teleported to the future and one of the first things you witness is helbabs divorce unpacking decades worth of angst and trauma
