Old Hound Consequences

Pinned Post!

"Welcome to the Red Lake. Come, sit down for a while. Rest your soul."

Old Hound Consequences is a cosmic entity of unfathomable power, existing in the Red Lake, an area in-between the myriad worlds of the Welcome Home Multiverse. Despite his phenomenal power, he prefers to simply sit on the shores of the lake he calls his home, fishing for the lost and the forgotten. He's always ready to lend an ear and a paw to those in need, whether they need aid or simply somebody to talk to. "Don't worry. You're safe here, little one."

ASKS ARE OPEN

Plague spreads, old dog.

My siblings grow restless, be careful.

- ☀️

"I know what you speak of, Pale Sun. I shall keep watch, as I always do, and as I have always done."

[theoldhoundattheredlake]

Well uh

I could get you in contact with Jovial if ya want!

"R-really? I...I'd love that!"

He smiles up at you.

[theoldhoundattheredlake]

Do you know what happened to the others?

"The others? Well...a few of them. Jonas and Juliet returned to their travels across the Multiverse, while Poppy settled down and created a new world of her own. Jovial...I'm truly not sure where they went, and Howdy...I haven't seen nor heard word of him in a while. I hope that they're both okay."

Tell me more about this void storm. What was the void like?

- 🕳️

"Lucien? Well...before he fell, he was a good man. A great man, even. He was a hero in the truest sense of the word, a savior to many and a friend to even more. After the fall...he was different. He was cruel, vengeful, angry. He'd lash out at anyone who came near, even his closest friends. As for his abilities...the Voidstorm's lightning was corruptive in nature. Whatever it struck, it would rot away, consuming until nothing but the very essence of its target remained, and from there...it was a gruesome sight. The victim's essence would reconstruct their body in ways that went against the very laws of reality itself. Too many limbs, too many eyes, tumorous growths pulsating and squirming as that foul energy turned innocent people into marionettes on the Voidstorm's strings."

But rest is not forever. One day you will have to stand up and fight for your place in the universe.

- ☀️

"...You speak the truth, White Sun, even if I wish it were otherwise. One day, I will need to leave this place of peace. But that day is not today, and hopefully it will not come for some time longer."

[theoldhoundattheredlake]

why were ya not able to...you know...help them?

"I assume you speak of the Y/N? If so...we were too caught up in the fighting. I didn't notice they were gone until...until it was too late. I would have saved them if I could, I know I could have. I...I was too slow. Too ignorant of my surroundings. It was my fault."

He'd look down at the lake, a sad expression on his face.

[theoldhoundattheredlake]

An old hound. An old soul.

You’re admirable, you know that? Why do you choose to inhabit a red lake of all places?

- ☀️

"I choose to reside here because it is peaceful. There is no conflict here, no pain. Only peace. Only rest."

[theoldhoundattheredlake]

Do'ya like singing bud? If so. What songs?

"Indeed I do, faceless one. I enjoy many songs, but...one of my favorites would have to be an old lullaby my creator used to sing to me. A story from their past, rewritten in song."

[theoldhoundattheredlake]

did a Y/N or an entity similar to one help you guys and get sucked into the void?

"...Yes. One did. I...I miss them, if I'm to be honest. They were always a good friend."

[theoldhoundattheredlake]

Do you know where they are?

“I…I don’t, no. I’m sorry.”

[theoldhoundattheredlake]

We'd love to see you make amends with her!

And while you do that, us anons can go looking for another person in the group!

“I…thank you.”

He nods, a smile spreading across his face.

“Well…Juliet and Jonas shouldn’t be too difficult to find. They’re travelers, of a sort, but they always leave a trail behind.”

He shrugs.

[theoldhoundattheredlake]

With some divine intervention, yeah!

She’s in the blue au! :]

“The…Blue AU? Well…heh. Maybe I could go and…say hello, then. Make amends with an old friend.”

[theoldhoundattheredlake]

She doesn't! She's upset that you left, but she doesn't hate you!

“And she’s right to be upset. I…I need to make things right, don’t I?”

[theoldhoundattheredlake]

She claims you left them.

“And…she’s right to say that. I did leave them when all was said and done. I…I went to mourn Lucien. The Voidstorm, I mean. That…that thing wasn’t Lucien anymore.”

[theoldhoundattheredlake]

*slides into old hound’s place*

Guess what!!!!! Blue poppy doesn’t hate you!!! She might be a bit upset- but she doesn’t hate you!!!

He looks over at you, a hopeful expression spreading across his face.

“You found her? And…she doesn’t?”

[theoldhoundattheredlake]

Oh that definitely helps!

Or at least, it kinda does. There's a bunch of fantasy aus out there lol

“Well…it wasn’t normal fantasy. It was more…modern? I think the term is ‘urban fantasy’.”
