#fall back arc

[evilfairyrulie]

*A pink mist of very familiar magic enters the area you are. It makes sound like vibrating or buzzing, it seems?? Happy? It comes to hover before you.*

- @luherooflegend

*Fae can't see you, not fully, he knows there must be something, just... he can't see it, or feel it, just guess*

*He looks in a vague direction from where fae guesses the buzzing is coming from, fae's too tired to question exactly what's now keeping faer company*

[evilfairyrulie]

*Tori comes to find you - because you're probably the only person who she knows that isn't going to be disappointed in her here anyway.*

Puck? Are you out here?

*She's got a limp now, and shorter hair.*

- @def-not-the-daughter-of-a-legend

*He is asleep sitting against a tree, or at least looks asleep. Next to him are some evil cookies on top of a container, they had been barely touched*

*Fae seems as if fae hasn't moved from here at all in... A while, the Puck you knew never told you anything about this time period...*

[evilfairyrulie]

[Someone’s walking along the path you were set on, wheelbarrow in tow behind them, though they don’t pull it. Wings hang out from the sides, presumably from either a person or a very large bird. Even you can catch a small hint of their magical presence as they get closer.]

[They hum a song as they walk, spotting you and eyeing you once they do. It takes them a while, and they don’t even bother to rush to get to you, walking at their own pace the entire time even as they see blood. Once they reach you, they stop and turn, crouching down directly in front of you.]

Hm… Hello… You’re interesting…!

[They aren’t even sure if you’re actually awake yet.]

-@magicdrenched

*He hasn't woken up yet, if you didn't pay attention to the slow rise of faer chest you would have thought fae was dead. There isn't any hint of magic coming directly from him, as if it didn't exist at all*

*Faer clothes are covered in blood, the most noticeable amount mostly on his stomach, and his left arm seems worse, open wounds that are difficult to guess if they had stopped bleeding or its just hard to guess with the amount that is already out*

[evilfairyrulie]

-poke-

*you turn around, nothing's there*

-poke again.-

*still nothing.*

-you hear someone trip, Jun's there, having fallen flat on his face while trying to prank you-

@child-of-fae-born-of-remnant

*Who was the one--*

*Huh, what's up with this kid...*

You good there?

*Why did he look familiar?*

Rulie, it's nice to meet you. You appear to be going through a panic attack- for your own benefit, I recommend stopping this behavior. From your record, you appear to cause harm to other users when in these emotional states.

My research suggests that deep breathing may be helpful!

@the-evil-game

What the fuck

*He had been trying to fall asleep, nevermind how faers eyes still felt wet from tears and his throat felt too tight. That was...*

Who are you? What-- what does all that mean? Some non-sense or--

You-- Don't tell me what to do, are you coming to also police everything I have done so far? What part of me wanting to be alone nobody understands?!

*Ignore the fact that you were right, that fae does hurt others, that maybe breathing would help, all of that was bullshit*

[evilfairyrulie]

-when you next see Jun, he doesn't look very good. He's curled up under a tree with a large dog, his face is more flush than usual and his breathing doesn't sound right.-

-the dog seems concerned, placing her head over his chest to listen to his heart-

@child-of-fae-born-of-remnant

*Fae had decided to walk a little (even if by just standing his legs were screaming at him for not moving in, probably weeks at this point) not getting too far from the spot he was at, fae will be back there soon*

*He spots you, inmediately recognizing you, with the help of faers cane fae comes closer to you*

Jun? What are you doing here?

*He eyes the dog, not sure if she would be friendly towards faer*

Fall back arc - Worth

ooc: yeahhh so evil fairy starts to (unintentionally) vent to a bird, he's not that stable rn, only thing holding faer together is that he was told to stay alive and wait, yeag

this thing isn't beta'd and might not make that much sense im half asleep and wrote this in less than 30 min i just threw random bs in sooo

(tw: slight animal abuse, it isn't that much but fae does throw Shirou to the ground even if he didn't intended it like that, suicide ideation, self-deprecation, he's slowly going insane that's for sure)

Bugs aren't that bad, only if you cook them though, raw they taste like plain gummies, neither sweet or salty.

It's been… Damn, he doesn't know, napping and staring at nothing has been all that fae had been doing, not daring to get up and walk around, maybe… Maybe for now it's better to keep his cane inside faer bag, fae doesn't want to get it dirty.

The mage was taking their sweet time, and honestly? Fae couldn't be bothered by it, now that his mind was clearer… It was a stupid choice, one that he shouldn't have made, not after…

Ignoring the memory of someting brushing against his organs and the constant feeling of cuts even from inside was becoming more and more difficult. It's hard sometimes to remember that fae wasn't at risk of dying and was in one piece.

… Fae misses expecting for that to happen.

Before his thoughts started to spiral a chirp took his attention, what—

Shirou landed on faer head— not his Shirou, the one with blue eyes instead of violet, a slightly older one, never her again— chirping in anger and pecking faer forehead.

"Hey- hey! ow! stop— stop that!" He shook faer head to make the bird fly off, her still staring in anger and probably screaming at faer.

"Calm down, I— shit, I forgot you back there… Sorry, was busy with the small kid and—" What was of that kid? Fae hopes that he got to find his uncle.

Shirou seemed to accept this excuse, but still annoyed. She went to sit on faer stomach and— ow, it still hurted, as if… Burns, oh great, fae doesn't want to see them.

Letting go a sigh, he brought a hand up to pat the small bird as he spoke almost in whisper "Shouldn't you be with Green? You still haven't reunited with your friend…"

She chirped again, this time in protest.

"What? Aren't you worried about him?" Fairy should be their priority, the kid might need even more help than fae did first.

Shirou bit one of his fingers. Rude.

"Wh— what's gotten to you?! You should be worried about him! Then why the fuck…" She obviously didn't respond, only stared at faer…

… Oh, she was worried about him, not Fairy, him.

"I'm not the one you should be all over, you should find that kid and make sure that Green helps him, not me" Fae gently scooped her up and moved her off faer lap, putting her on the ground next to him.

This seemed to just make her even more angry, peeking on his ankles, right now fae wondered if it would be a good idea to finally use shoes again… Nah.

"C'mon, you're just mad that I'm telling the truth" And what a big truth it was! She wasn't appreciating his sincerity, one that he had not really put in practice all this time, probably another big lie? Fae seems to even do that to faerself.

… She didn't leave, she was still here, why was she still here? "Don't you have someone more important to fuzz over?"

Maybe it was for the sharper tone, or for faer own words, but Shirou stopped peeking him to just… Stare, judging him, that's for sure.

"What? Now you are going to police me?" Maybe being here alone for too long was getting to faer, but having so much time to think just made it hard to keep all of it inside "There are more important matters for you and the others to take care of, I should be the last of their worries— hell! I shouldn't be one at all!"

Everyone had more important things to take care of; Birdie had his quest, Sky needed to recover, Red had to take care of all his children, which probably included Kheel and… Ribbon.

And Green… He has too much, too much to deal with fae is sure, it's best that fae got out of the way for once, he wasn't a true help in anything after all. Probably Green was lying all those times that he said otherwise.

He took a deep breath, and turned to look again at Shirou "Leave me alone, go, just—" Fae just wanted her leave, she reminded him of… But she wasn't Shirou, even if she acted so similar, she just wasn't.

Apparently, she had other thing in what she was similar: she didn't listen to faer. She flew once again to land on his right arm.

It was probably from the irritation of having faer stomach mostly empty, or the still constant panic that his body wasn't used to not have on, fae wasn't sure.

He slapped the air with maybe too much force judging from how Shirou did not catch an opportunity to fly off, landing roughtly on the ground.

"I told you. LEAVE!" She still seemed to refuse, some part of faer wanted to retreat "WHY CAN'T YOU CATCH A SIMPLE REQUEST?! Let me— hehe…" What's so funny about this? What's the joke? "Let me, put this easier for you"

"I am a waste, shouldn't be alive, I should have been dead years ago! And when— when! I finally had the chance to do so! This— This weird mage… Came and said some shit about— I don't know! Me being useful for some shitty experiment? I honestly don't care" Lie, why was he lying again? Wasn't he tired of that?

Stop talking, focus and stop talking "Just— I don't know! Leave me alone and let whatever the fuck happen next… Hell! Consider me DEAD! It's the best thing that could happen to everyone right now after all!"

Why does she look sad? He's just saying the truth lying again.

"… I think Green just, accepted that I am dead, I— hehe… Haven't seen any sign of him coming! Or search for me! He must think that I already threw myself off a cliff or jumped to the river or finally ate those pastries or… Or just… He's focusing in more important shit"

… Fae doesn't like the laugh that leaves him, it's not his, fae never noticed how much influence of him fae had experienced… Probably it was truly faer own laugh, just… More real.

"Don't put that face, just fly away or something I don't—"

At least she finally listened to something he said, although a little frantic and…

Whatever, fae has probably some bugs left, should— he should focus on them... They would be easier to grab if faer vision wasn't blurry.

*Someone has left a boot on your head while you slept... it's not your boot.*

- @luherooflegend

*He stares at the boot after it fell down from faers head, still half-asleep and too tired for this*

*This isn't his boot. Fae doesn't even use boots. Why is this here? Whatever...*

*... Tori mentioned something about boots, what was it again?... Eh, couldn't have been important*
