This is the start of my story for @allthingsao3 Relay Game. ＼(^-^)／

The world is painted orange as the sun sets, somehow in spite of everything changing the one constant was the setting sun's glow calling him back home. Michael took his time taking in the view as he walked home there was a small flock of Pidove flying off somewhere, even the long way was quick.

He opened the door and was immediately greeted by Carl the Chatot, "Hello? Hello?" "Hi Carl" Micheal reached up to pet him and was next greeted by Vincent the Purrloin's happy trilling, "Hey buddy how're you?" Micheal didn't notice his father standing behind him, "…Micheal. Where have you been?"

He asked with his usual dull dryness, the two locked eyes for a minute. "Out. I met that new guy that moved in with the Newlins. He's in the same boat as us, what did that detective call us again? Fallers right?" Micheal's father nodded solemnly.

hi! so on this quote you sent in my inbox “this child has an aura that forces people to show only caring affection for them and nobody’s been able to treat them like a real person for a long time so they’ve grown to hate all the ones around them”

i got curious, how exactly does this aura work? were they born w it? what do people on the receiving end feel when being forced—do they even realize it?

-@allthingsao3 :3

So, Cloud’s aura (the kid’s name is Cloud) is something they were indeed born with!!! It’s something that they get from their goddess mother as an early childhood defense mechanism due to their more Mortal mother’s genetics effecting abilities for a survival that’s already guaranteed :3

It hijacks the bodies of people around cloud and forces them to act super kind and sweet - though their minds are untouched, so they’re pretty much trapped inside their own heads with no way to fight against it. And while Cloud didn’t fully understand it at first, it didn’t take long for them to realize it once they get kidnapped thanks to it

So you have super Cannon-Compliant characters from things like Creepypasta and other horror games stuck acting like their Found Family Fandom Versions, and it’s effects linger longer the more time they spend around Cloud, so they’re unable to ever communicate with each other about what’s happening

it’s a very Isolating thing, for both Cloud and the people around them, but Cloud needs them in that state so that Cloud can get their souls, and mutual hate builds silently :3
