Renzel

What is this world?

[skulk-renzel]

Hello? Is this thing on?

If anyone can hear me, I'm Renzel. I'm a survivor. I'm trying to find others...

Hi hi this is @queenarsinoethepoisoner ! I'll be adding more to my intro post later but for now this is all I've got, I'm new to this Au so yea. Info about the Au can be found at @sculkhorde-au

anyways: @aurumtheyapper2electricboogaloo < tagging you since you're the one who told me about the Au

Oh also for reference if anyone wants it:

This is Renzel ^ I'll add more about them later but for now all you get is their name and their pronouns, which are they/them

Edit: more photos!

I forgot to add it but they've got a jacket lol. And then I did a colored version. The jacket is just black btw

[skulk-renzel]

Fully colored version, most accurate to what they actually look like

[sculk-horde-au]

Hello? ..can anyone hear me?

✨️

*Static before the voice of a teenager syncs in.*

Survivors Conm,Neo Genesis,This is Aurum.

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

*After some time Doc comes back in line.*

Left,giant concrete walls,you can't miss it.

[skulk-renzel]

*they start to slow down in their jog and look around* Oh yea that is hard to miss

*they turn towards the walls and walk towards them*

*under their breath* jeez these things are huge

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

If you have gone the right directions this time,you should see a large metal gate close by. I'll wait for u there.

[skulk-renzel]

Ak I went the right direction I'm not an idiot *they huff in annoyance*

Oh yea I see the gate. I guess we can stop talking on the communicators since you're in theory waiting for me

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

*Has gone off the line as soon as she confirmed seeing the gates. They were huge,made of heavy tons of metal,and leaned against it there was a boy who'd be roughly 5'4 if not for his emo ass boots. Neon orange died hair with brown roots and very anti-cold dressed.*

[skulk-renzel]

*when the line goes dead* ugh rude. People have no manners these days

*whispering under their breath* Neon orange, kinda tacky don't you think? Also not even a coat?

*they walk over to the gates and shout out as they walk over* so you're aurum?

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

I can still leave you outside,y'know.

*Yawns and goes over to a panel by the side of the doors,typing on a code before they start moving,revealing the quiet but imposing city.*

[skulk-renzel]

hmph *they continue walking closer. As they get closer, it's easier to see what they look like. they're on the taller side, and have light purple hair up in a pony tail. They have red curved horns and an eyepatch on the left eye. They have on a black tank top with a big leather jacket on top and then dark green cargo pants*

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

Void,you look like you came out of an OLD videogame.

*Rushed them inside and closed the gates, the city seemingly came back to life as futuristic buildings and vehicles far beyond modern were a contrast to the world outside.*

[skulk-renzel]

I'm gonna take that as a compliment *they look around, slightly awed but not showing it*

Alright so where to now?

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

You are going to the contamination bay.

*Starts shooing them in the direction.*

[skulk-renzel]

Yea that's to be expected *starts walking in that direction*

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

*They entered a glass-domed building that extended into a corridor.*

Ur gonna stay here for a minnimal 4 days. We don't know what other kind of other diseases you got from outside. At least you'll get food.

[skulk-renzel]

Hmm looks like a green house

4 days? Jeez. Makes sense but still that's gonna take forever. *They look around the room* Got any books I could read?

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

I can bring you some after-

*Yawns again.*

Okay it's cold so i can't stay outside,dad will talk to u soon bye.

@sculkhorde-npc-grian

[skulk-renzel]

ok then... *they watch him walk out*

*They pull a small book titled "The Great Gatsby" out of their jacket pocket and sit down and start reading*

[skulk-renzel]

Oh my gosh finally! I've been trying to contact someone for a while, but no one ever responded

...oh I should probably introduce myself. I'm Renzel.. my friends call me Zel

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

Do you wish assistance in any way?

*He sounds too calm for someone in the middle of the apocalypse.*

[skulk-renzel]

Uhh I mean food would be nice? And.. uhh... *theres silence as they think* wait you said something about a .. um Neo... Genesis? Is that like a shelter or something? *their tone has changed to more wary than before*

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

*Scoffs.*

My city is not a shelter.

*Huffs.*

It's a functional society.

[skulk-renzel]

Lol sure buddy but a city is a shelter just by a different name, plus shelters can be functional societies

But sure it's a city

*Zel's wariness has gone down*

I guess that's why you sound so calm since you've got a *mocking* 'functional society'

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

So i'm hearing you don't need protection, weaponry, supplies, technology, advanced medicine and a giant sculk free area. okay then, over.

[skulk-renzel]

...*silence for a bit* *their tone is slightly miffed* Ak I'm not saying your little city wouldn't be useful I'm just saying it's kinda stupid to be bogged down in semantics when the world is full of sculk

Also you're promising all this stuff, but there's gotta be strings attached, ain't no way you're just letting people into your little 'utopia' for no cost

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

We got enough freeloaders here as a sort of...godly harem or smth for d- the Leader of Neo Genesis.

So no u ain't getting nuthin more than a house and tasks.

[skulk-renzel]

A godly harem? Think I'll pass on whatever that is

So if I go to your little shel- sorry, 'city' *mass amounts of sarcasm is evident in their voice* then I get a house and a job? Hmmmm I guess I'll see what the big hubbub is about but I'm not promising to work at your town

How do I get to where Neo Genesis is?

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

I'm not interested in free loaders thank you very much.

[skulk-renzel]

I wouldn't be a freeloader, think of it more as a free trial. I go to your city for like two days, and if I don't start working then you can kick me out and I'll go willingly. How does that sound. *the sarcasm has left their voice, but they are not desperate.. yet*

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

We can't risk getting sculk inside y'know. How sad. Oveeeeeerr

[skulk-renzel]

Hm I would've thought you would've had a way to disinfect from sculk before someone came into your city since you were talking so highly of it

Also you don't sound very sad, *they try to make themselves sound pitiable* you're really gonna leave a teenager all on their own, not even gonna send me a little bit of food? *near the end you can hear them start to sound slightly desperate*

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

We do. You're just a lil too sassy for my liking.

I mean if you want us to triangulate ur location by the conm,we could.

[skulk-renzel]

Can you really blame me for being sassy, it's about the only thing I've got left in this world. Plus it's not as if you weren't sassy back

*they're silent for a bit* How about a deal, I promise to not be as sassy and you let me into your city?

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

Yeah but i'm not homeless.

*Big ahh dramatic sigh.*

Listen. I can't guide you. If i don't know where you are.

[skulk-renzel]

*they start to say something sassy before catching themself*

Ok yea you said something about triangulating my location? I've been wandering around and I don't know exactly where I am, so if you could do that that would be great *they're trying to sound sincere*

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

Gosh you are useless huh...

*Hangs up and static takes over the line for a worrying amount of minutes before he connects back.*

Go back.

[skulk-renzel]

I am not-! *they stop as they realize arguing won't be helpful and they shouldn't shout*

*the static takes over the line* He- Hello?? Did you hang up on me??! *they sound very worried*

*aurum connects back* oh thank shit I thought- *they cut themself off as they realize Aurum is talking* Anyways, I'm assuming you mean go back to where I was before when I started talking to you?

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

Yeah yeah walk in that direction.

And hurry up,you're pretty far.

[skulk-renzel]

Ok ok I'm going back *they hold back a huff*

*theres a silence as they think* Um so should I like stay talking to you or do we like hang up..? *they sound very uncertain*

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

Well you still have to get here right.

*They yawn through the line.*

[skulk-renzel]

Ugh yeah, I'm walking, I'm walking

*awkward pause* so uhh, how's your day been?

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

None of ur concern. Now have you been infected?

[skulk-renzel]

I'm just trying to make small talk but sure we can be boring

I'm not infected, as far as I know at least. *theres sounds as they check their body for signs of sculk* yeah no sculk in sight

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

We'll still check once you get here.

Now take a right.

[skulk-renzel]

*long pause* *they start walking to the left* Eh I guess that's fair, it'd suck if you had this whole city and then one person came in and infected everyone *their tone is unclear of whether they're joking or threatening smth*

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

We'd kill them before that happend and where the fuck are u going.

[skulk-renzel]

Oh. *they were not expecting that answer*

*silence as they debate telling aurum about not knowing lefts from rights* Oh I just decided to go this way, looked more interesting, but I guess I'll go the other way *they sound nervous, not their usual sassyness, hoping aurum doesn't question them about it*

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

I can just hang up if you have more to do because i also do.

[skulk-renzel]

No no I just got a bit distracted, sorry I'll pay more attention to your directions

Um thanks for taking time out of your day to help me

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

It's a task. It's cold so i can't go patrol outiside.

[skulk-renzel]

Oh... *theres a pause as they debate asking more questions at the risk of aurum leaving the call*

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

Lemme just-

*Seems to get away from the comm and a well used "DAAAAAD" scream is heard faintly before he comes back.*

No I can't go get you. Leader's orders.

[skulk-renzel]

Ah! *they were not expecting that loud of a noise* Hello what was that? Also how far am I from Neo Genesis? I've been walking for ages at this point

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

That's becaue you're slow. Like 300 blocks to go.

[skulk-renzel]

*sigh* I'll pick up the pace

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

Hurry or you'll be on your own.

[skulk-renzel]

*you can hear clothing rustling as they start jogging at a light pace, not full out running tho*

*they start humming under their breath, but don't say anything else as they are focused on their surroundings more*

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

We do. You're just a lil too sassy for my liking.

I mean if you want us to triangulate ur location by the conm,we could.

[skulk-renzel]

Can you really blame me for being sassy, it's about the only thing I've got left in this world. Plus it's not as if you weren't sassy back

*they're silent for a bit* How about a deal, I promise to not be as sassy and you let me into your city?

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

Yeah but i'm not homeless.

*Big ahh dramatic sigh.*

Listen. I can't guide you. If i don't know where you are.

[skulk-renzel]

*they start to say something sassy before catching themself*

Ok yea you said something about triangulating my location? I've been wandering around and I don't know exactly where I am, so if you could do that that would be great *they're trying to sound sincere*

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

Gosh you are useless huh...

*Hangs up and static takes over the line for a worrying amount of minutes before he connects back.*

Go back.

[skulk-renzel]

I am not-! *they stop as they realize arguing won't be helpful and they shouldn't shout*

*the static takes over the line* He- Hello?? Did you hang up on me??! *they sound very worried*

*aurum connects back* oh thank shit I thought- *they cut themself off as they realize Aurum is talking* Anyways, I'm assuming you mean go back to where I was before when I started talking to you?

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

Yeah yeah walk in that direction.

And hurry up,you're pretty far.

[skulk-renzel]

Ok ok I'm going back *they hold back a huff*

*theres a silence as they think* Um so should I like stay talking to you or do we like hang up..? *they sound very uncertain*

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

Well you still have to get here right.

*They yawn through the line.*

[skulk-renzel]

Ugh yeah, I'm walking, I'm walking

*awkward pause* so uhh, how's your day been?

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

None of ur concern. Now have you been infected?

[skulk-renzel]

I'm just trying to make small talk but sure we can be boring

I'm not infected, as far as I know at least. *theres sounds as they check their body for signs of sculk* yeah no sculk in sight

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

We'll still check once you get here.

Now take a right.

[skulk-renzel]

*long pause* *they start walking to the left* Eh I guess that's fair, it'd suck if you had this whole city and then one person came in and infected everyone *their tone is unclear of whether they're joking or threatening smth*

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

We'd kill them before that happend and where the fuck are u going.

[skulk-renzel]

Oh. *they were not expecting that answer*

*silence as they debate telling aurum about not knowing lefts from rights* Oh I just decided to go this way, looked more interesting, but I guess I'll go the other way *they sound nervous, not their usual sassyness, hoping aurum doesn't question them about it*

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

I can just hang up if you have more to do because i also do.

[skulk-renzel]

No no I just got a bit distracted, sorry I'll pay more attention to your directions

Um thanks for taking time out of your day to help me

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

It's a task. It's cold so i can't go patrol outiside.

[skulk-renzel]

Oh... *theres a pause as they debate asking more questions at the risk of aurum leaving the call*

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

Lemme just-

*Seems to get away from the comm and a well used "DAAAAAD" scream is heard faintly before he comes back.*

No I can't go get you. Leader's orders.

[skulk-renzel]

Ah! *they were not expecting that loud of a noise* Hello what was that? Also how far am I from Neo Genesis? I've been walking for ages at this point

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

That's becaue you're slow. Like 300 blocks to go.

[skulk-renzel]

*sigh* I'll pick up the pace

[sculk-horde-au]

Hello? ..can anyone hear me?

(Ooc I'm imagining this coming through like on a walkie talkie)

✨️

*Static before the voice of a teenager syncs in.*

Survivors Conm,Neo Genesis,This is Aurum.

[skulk-renzel]

Oh my gosh finally! I've been trying to contact someone for a while, but no one ever responded

...oh I should probably introduce myself. I'm Renzel.. my friends call me Zel

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

Do you wish assistance in any way?

*He sounds too calm for someone in the middle of the apocalypse.*

[skulk-renzel]

Uhh I mean food would be nice? And.. uhh... *theres silence as they think* wait you said something about a .. um Neo... Genesis? Is that like a shelter or something? *their tone has changed to more wary than before*

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

*Scoffs.*

My city is not a shelter.

*Huffs.*

It's a functional society.

[skulk-renzel]

Lol sure buddy but a city is a shelter just by a different name, plus shelters can be functional societies

But sure it's a city

*Zel's wariness has gone down*

I guess that's why you sound so calm since you've got a *mocking* 'functional society'

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

So i'm hearing you don't need protection, weaponry, supplies, technology, advanced medicine and a giant sculk free area. okay then, over.

[skulk-renzel]

...*silence for a bit* *their tone is slightly miffed* Ak I'm not saying your little city wouldn't be useful I'm just saying it's kinda stupid to be bogged down in semantics when the world is full of sculk

Also you're promising all this stuff, but there's gotta be strings attached, ain't no way you're just letting people into your little 'utopia' for no cost

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

We got enough freeloaders here as a sort of...godly harem or smth for d- the Leader of Neo Genesis.

So no u ain't getting nuthin more than a house and tasks.

[skulk-renzel]

A godly harem? Think I'll pass on whatever that is

So if I go to your little shel- sorry, 'city' *mass amounts of sarcasm is evident in their voice* then I get a house and a job? Hmmmm I guess I'll see what the big hubbub is about but I'm not promising to work at your town

How do I get to where Neo Genesis is?

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

I'm not interested in free loaders thank you very much.

[skulk-renzel]

I wouldn't be a freeloader, think of it more as a free trial. I go to your city for like two days, and if I don't start working then you can kick me out and I'll go willingly. How does that sound. *the sarcasm has left their voice, but they are not desperate.. yet*

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

We can't risk getting sculk inside y'know. How sad. Oveeeeeerr

[skulk-renzel]

Hm I would've thought you would've had a way to disinfect from sculk before someone came into your city since you were talking so highly of it

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

We do. You're just a lil too sassy for my liking.

I mean if you want us to triangulate ur location by the conm,we could.

[skulk-renzel]

Can you really blame me for being sassy, it's about the only thing I've got left in this world. Plus it's not as if you weren't sassy back

*they're silent for a bit* How about a deal, I promise to not be as sassy and you let me into your city?

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

Yeah but i'm not homeless.

*Big ahh dramatic sigh.*

Listen. I can't guide you. If i don't know where you are.

[skulk-renzel]

*they start to say something sassy before catching themself*

Ok yea you said something about triangulating my location? I've been wandering around and I don't know exactly where I am, so if you could do that that would be great *they're trying to sound sincere*

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

Gosh you are useless huh...

*Hangs up and static takes over the line for a worrying amount of minutes before he connects back.*

Go back.

[skulk-renzel]

I am not-! *they stop as they realize arguing won't be helpful and they shouldn't shout*

*the static takes over the line* He- Hello?? Did you hang up on me??! *they sound very worried*

*aurum connects back* oh thank shit I thought- *they cut themself off as they realize Aurum is talking* Anyways, I'm assuming you mean go back to where I was before when I started talking to you?

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

Yeah yeah walk in that direction.

And hurry up,you're pretty far.

[skulk-renzel]

Ok ok I'm going back *they hold back a huff*

*theres a silence as they think* Um so should I like stay talking to you or do we like hang up..? *they sound very uncertain*

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

Well you still have to get here right.

*They yawn through the line.*

[skulk-renzel]

Ugh yeah, I'm walking, I'm walking

*awkward pause* so uhh, how's your day been?

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

None of ur concern. Now have you been infected?

[skulk-renzel]

I'm just trying to make small talk but sure we can be boring

I'm not infected, as far as I know at least. *theres sounds as they check their body for signs of sculk* yeah no sculk in sight

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

We'll still check once you get here.

Now take a right.

[skulk-renzel]

*long pause* *they start walking to the left* Eh I guess that's fair, it'd suck if you had this whole city and then one person came in and infected everyone *their tone is unclear of whether they're joking or threatening smth*

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

We'd kill them before that happend and where the fuck are u going.

[skulk-renzel]

Oh. *they were not expecting that answer*

*silence as they debate telling aurum about not knowing lefts from rights* Oh I just decided to go this way, looked more interesting, but I guess I'll go the other way *they sound nervous, not their usual sassyness, hoping aurum doesn't question them about it*

[sculk-horde-au]

Hello? ..can anyone hear me?

(Ooc I'm imagining this coming through like on a walkie talkie)

✨️

*Static before the voice of a teenager syncs in.*

Survivors Conm,Neo Genesis,This is Aurum.

[skulk-renzel]

Oh my gosh finally! I've been trying to contact someone for a while, but no one ever responded

...oh I should probably introduce myself. I'm Renzel.. my friends call me Zel

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

Do you wish assistance in any way?

*He sounds too calm for someone in the middle of the apocalypse.*

[skulk-renzel]

Uhh I mean food would be nice? And.. uhh... *theres silence as they think* wait you said something about a .. um Neo... Genesis? Is that like a shelter or something? *their tone has changed to more wary than before*

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

*Scoffs.*

My city is not a shelter.

*Huffs.*

It's a functional society.

[skulk-renzel]

Lol sure buddy but a city is a shelter just by a different name, plus shelters can be functional societies

But sure it's a city

*Zel's wariness has gone down*

I guess that's why you sound so calm since you've got a *mocking* 'functional society'

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

So i'm hearing you don't need protection, weaponry, supplies, technology, advanced medicine and a giant sculk free area. okay then, over.

[skulk-renzel]

...*silence for a bit* *their tone is slightly miffed* Ak I'm not saying your little city wouldn't be useful I'm just saying it's kinda stupid to be bogged down in semantics when the world is full of sculk

Also you're promising all this stuff, but there's gotta be strings attached, ain't no way you're just letting people into your little 'utopia' for no cost

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

We got enough freeloaders here as a sort of...godly harem or smth for d- the Leader of Neo Genesis.

So no u ain't getting nuthin more than a house and tasks.

[skulk-renzel]

A godly harem? Think I'll pass on whatever that is

So if I go to your little shel- sorry, 'city' *mass amounts of sarcasm is evident in their voice* then I get a house and a job? Hmmmm I guess I'll see what the big hubbub is about but I'm not promising to work at your town

How do I get to where Neo Genesis is?

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

I'm not interested in free loaders thank you very much.

[skulk-renzel]

I wouldn't be a freeloader, think of it more as a free trial. I go to your city for like two days, and if I don't start working then you can kick me out and I'll go willingly. How does that sound. *the sarcasm has left their voice, but they are not desperate.. yet*

[sculk-horde-au]

✨️

We can't risk getting sculk inside y'know. How sad. Oveeeeeerr

[skulk-renzel]

Hm I would've thought you would've had a way to disinfect from sculk before someone came into your city since you were talking so highly of it
