this is old asf and I hate it now butttt I wanna start posting more about my st au here…
Vessel had been living by himself in the manor for several years until II stumbled upon him. They just kind of clicked, even though II was human and Vess wasn’t.
Vessel grew extremely attached to II because he was literally the only person he had to talk to besides Sleep.
One night, Vessel let the whole Nazareth incident story slip and it freaked II out a ton. II left to process it, but couldn’t see his (more than) friend the same way anymore.
Vessel was left alone in the manor for another full year before Sleep was able to manipulate II into worship.
