Aria Aisling

! AU of prime universe where Aria Aisling became N'Dellex's vessel ! she/they/he Unempowered I'm sorry.

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

My name is Aria Aisling.

Introductory Post

Hello, my beautiful dreamers! My name is Aria Aisling, and I am the wonderous vessel of the one and only N'Dellex!

I told you you’d never be able to change.

I know. I’m sorry. I- I never wanted this.

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

...

I need this purple out of my hair...

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

My hair's gotten long. I'll cut it and then I'm going to start bleaching it.

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

...This took ages and I ended up needing Ophi's help, but... I guess I'm happy with it.

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

Hey um- awkward request that no one is ever going to see anyways, but I.. I don't want to go by they/them anymore, ever again. N'Dellex forced that to be our default and- and I've really always felt better being referred to by he/him or she/her anyways.

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

..O-ophi?

....Yeah?? Where did you go-!?

Passed through a rift...

That's not possible, y-you aren't a vessel anymore-

It's what me an' my friends called a portal to a different universe. Don't worry about that part. There's a jackrabbit shifter kid in a nature sanctuary in Dahlia. I can point out where it is on a map. You guys need to go get him because I kidnapped him and he's not got anyone watching him right now.

Oh my gosh.

..Yeah.

Another thing to add to the list of stuff we're not sure whether or not we need to prosecute you for, I guess.

(There's someone that looks like Aria curled up in the grass at the park, but they have no dreamwalker aura. It's just starting to get late.) - @controlled-dreamt-broken

Sun's goin' down. Unless you've got a tent or some shit, it's prob'ly not a great idea t'be layin' out here, Aria.

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

(They look up at her, dazed. They look incredibly unhealthy and pushed to several limits. Their heart rate skyrockets when they finally realize who he is.)

(They're wearing a regular blue hoodie, but their hair has a lot of purple dye in it, and no other colours.)

(Somewhat reminiscent of that vessel Aria's hair.)

[lost-1n-orbit]

Huh.

Looks like you're the Aria I was prepared to eat if you threatened my family. Guess the world's not at risk of that anymore.

[He tosses a bag of chips at her.]

You look pretty fucked up. I'm guessin' you haven't eaten shit.

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

...

(She hesitantly takes the bag of chips)

...The Department didn't feed me anything.. haven't eaten since... (she seems to think, for far longer than usual.) ...since late Tuesday...?

[lost-1n-orbit]

It's no wonder that you look like shit.

You want some water? I think I've got some jerky too, but I know it ain't everyone's favorite.

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

I'll eat anything... 'm so hungry... and thirsty.. N'Dellex never let us remember to eat...

[lost-1n-orbit]

Alright, here.

[She hands them her water bottle and a packet of jerky.]

I haven't touched that water bottle with my lips or anythin' today. That's my back up.

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

(She opens it and drinks like she hasn't had water in ages, before starting to nibble on some jerky. It seems to help a lot.)

I'm sorry I was such a horrifically abusive and controlling bitch when you met me.

M-my world's version of Allan and you are- are free from everything. I haven't even.. talked to them since my threads were cut.

[lost-1n-orbit]

Good. Even just the little glimpse I got into that situation was fucked.

So are you on the run from the Department?

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

(She sticks her leg out from where it was under her.)

(She's got an ankle monitor on.)

No, and I'm betting your world's Department is very confused if this has suddenly popped up on any radars.

[lost-1n-orbit]

Mm, yeah I bet that'll be fuckin' weird for 'em. From what I know 'bout crossin' between worlds, it's really hit or miss if tech works across rifts.

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

(She nods, slowly)

I'm done with the jerky now. You can take the rest of the bag back.

[lost-1n-orbit]

Have you got food at home?

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

We- I don't remember.

[lost-1n-orbit]

Yeah, you're keepin' the jerky.

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

....Thank you...

(She tries to stand, but fails)

[lost-1n-orbit]

Okay, you're gonna need help goin' anywhere at this rate. C'mon, take my hand. I'll take you back.

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

But y-you shouldn't have to help me.

[lost-1n-orbit]

You're practically stranded in another universe an' you're barely able t'stand.

I'm gonna help you whether I should or not. Now c'mon. I don't like bein' out in this area after dark.

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

..Okay.

(she takes his hand)

[lost-1n-orbit]

[He helps her to her feet and starts walking off towards one of the rifts.]

Have you been to any universes 'sides this one an' yours?

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

..It's.... hard to remember a lot of things. But I think I'd encountered a few people from other worlds before. There was a different Ryn, and I think.. the Imperium?

[lost-1n-orbit]

Oh yeah, that place is fucked but in a different way. The fascists have full control there an' that world's version of you actually murdered that world's version of one of my friends' parents. I don't know what the fuck I'm up to over there, but damn was my brother fucked up by everythin'. He got better from the stuff I've heard from other people who've gone over there, but hoo boy. Fucked in the head an' helpin' enforce the fascist bull. That version of you was goin' around slicin' threads for a while but you've stopped that now.

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

Jesus Christ. I.. I think I remember finding out about my Imperium self and being pissed off...

[lost-1n-orbit]

Yeah, it's definitely somethin' t'be pissed about. I haven't been over there yet, but I have been to the universe that I'm dead in. That was wild. I was totally ready to throw down with a vamp who was like 'I killed you, an' I'm goin' t'be very creepy about this. Shouldn't you be dead, little wolf?' To which I said, 'I came back specifically t'fuck with you an' rip out your throat. Fuck you.'

Totally deserved by the way. She was gonna hurt my friend who was unempowered at the time, but he's got his core in now. Speakin' of which, do you know anyone named Emerson?

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

That does sound very deserved, hah.

...

(she looks mildly worried)

The rabbit one?

[lost-1n-orbit]

Yeah, you're his dad over here so I just wanted t'know if you did end up adoptin' him in a fucked up way or if he's still floatin' in the system on his own.

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

................

Which one would you prefer to think?

[lost-1n-orbit]

I want the truth, Aria.

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

..I found him in rabbit form, kidnapped him, and put him in his own personal wildlife sanctuary. There was a mostly unused building nearby that I converted into a human-y home for whenever he didn't want to run around. There's no carnivores in the sanctuary, or anything else that could hurt him.

I... have no idea what's going on with him now. And I don't think I told the others about-- he has a lot of food! H-he should be okay???

[lost-1n-orbit]

That is terrible parentin'. Truly awful.

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

N'Dellex was at least half of that...

We'll- I'll ask the demon watching me to find and help him when w- I get back.

[lost-1n-orbit]

Yeah, pretty sure that counts as child abandonment. You'd better find them.

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

(She opens it and drinks like she hasn't had water in ages, before starting to nibble on some jerky. It seems to help a lot.)

I'm sorry I was such a horrifically abusive and controlling bitch when you met me.

M-my world's version of Allan and you are- are free from everything. I haven't even.. talked to them since my threads were cut.

[lost-1n-orbit]

Good. Even just the little glimpse I got into that situation was fucked.

So are you on the run from the Department?

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

(She sticks her leg out from where it was under her.)

(She's got an ankle monitor on.)

No, and I'm betting your world's Department is very confused if this has suddenly popped up on any radars.

[lost-1n-orbit]

Mm, yeah I bet that'll be fuckin' weird for 'em. From what I know 'bout crossin' between worlds, it's really hit or miss if tech works across rifts.

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

(She nods, slowly)

I'm done with the jerky now. You can take the rest of the bag back.

[lost-1n-orbit]

Have you got food at home?

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

We- I don't remember.

[lost-1n-orbit]

Yeah, you're keepin' the jerky.

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

....Thank you...

(She tries to stand, but fails)

[lost-1n-orbit]

Okay, you're gonna need help goin' anywhere at this rate. C'mon, take my hand. I'll take you back.

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

But y-you shouldn't have to help me.

[lost-1n-orbit]

You're practically stranded in another universe an' you're barely able t'stand.

I'm gonna help you whether I should or not. Now c'mon. I don't like bein' out in this area after dark.

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

..Okay.

(she takes his hand)

[lost-1n-orbit]

[He helps her to her feet and starts walking off towards one of the rifts.]

Have you been to any universes 'sides this one an' yours?

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

..It's.... hard to remember a lot of things. But I think I'd encountered a few people from other worlds before. There was a different Ryn, and I think.. the Imperium?

[lost-1n-orbit]

Oh yeah, that place is fucked but in a different way. The fascists have full control there an' that world's version of you actually murdered that world's version of one of my friends' parents. I don't know what the fuck I'm up to over there, but damn was my brother fucked up by everythin'. He got better from the stuff I've heard from other people who've gone over there, but hoo boy. Fucked in the head an' helpin' enforce the fascist bull. That version of you was goin' around slicin' threads for a while but you've stopped that now.

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

Jesus Christ. I.. I think I remember finding out about my Imperium self and being pissed off...

[lost-1n-orbit]

Yeah, it's definitely somethin' t'be pissed about. I haven't been over there yet, but I have been to the universe that I'm dead in. That was wild. I was totally ready to throw down with a vamp who was like 'I killed you, an' I'm goin' t'be very creepy about this. Shouldn't you be dead, little wolf?' To which I said, 'I came back specifically t'fuck with you an' rip out your throat. Fuck you.'

Totally deserved by the way. She was gonna hurt my friend who was unempowered at the time, but he's got his core in now. Speakin' of which, do you know anyone named Emerson?

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

That does sound very deserved, hah.

...

(she looks mildly worried)

The rabbit one?

[lost-1n-orbit]

(There's someone that looks like Aria curled up in the grass at the park, but they have no dreamwalker aura. It's just starting to get late.) - @controlled-dreamt-broken

Sun's goin' down. Unless you've got a tent or some shit, it's prob'ly not a great idea t'be layin' out here, Aria.

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

(They look up at her, dazed. They look incredibly unhealthy and pushed to several limits. Their heart rate skyrockets when they finally realize who he is.)

(They're wearing a regular blue hoodie, but their hair has a lot of purple dye in it, and no other colours.)

(Somewhat reminiscent of that vessel Aria's hair.)

[lost-1n-orbit]

Huh.

Looks like you're the Aria I was prepared to eat if you threatened my family. Guess the world's not at risk of that anymore.

[He tosses a bag of chips at her.]

You look pretty fucked up. I'm guessin' you haven't eaten shit.

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

...

(She hesitantly takes the bag of chips)

...The Department didn't feed me anything.. haven't eaten since... (she seems to think, for far longer than usual.) ...since late Tuesday...?

[lost-1n-orbit]

It's no wonder that you look like shit.

You want some water? I think I've got some jerky too, but I know it ain't everyone's favorite.

[controlled-dreamt-broken]

I'll eat anything... 'm so hungry... and thirsty.. N'Dellex never let us remember to eat...

[lost-1n-orbit]

Alright, here.

[She hands them her water bottle and a packet of jerky.]

I haven't touched that water bottle with my lips or anythin' today. That's my back up.
