"Uh, Hellooo?"
[ The man called out. He looked like Cain, just... without the weird unnerving features. ] - @eyesremain
{There's a shift in the void- the movement of stars hardly noticeable, yet enough to catch the eye- and then a crackle, a broken scream of noise-}
{Twhnn tries to make something understandable out of the code they once used to be, the mess of broken memories and pieces- it's far more difficult than it has any right to be, but they manage, and then they stand before the man in a humanoid form of static.}
cain? what you doin' here?
"Cain? Uh, not sure who that is. I'm Arthur, it's nice to meet you... whoever you are."
[ He didn't seem to be bothered at all by the humanoid form of static. ]
{Twhnn cocks their 'head' to the side and hums. Weird.}
call me Twhnn, if you'd like. not got much of a preference. you lost or somethin'? people can't usually get out here, y'know.
"Yeah, I think I might be... One minute I was looking around a field, next I'm here."
[ Arthur sure didn't talk like Cain either, his sentences were more human-like. ]
...right. a field, jeez. that's helpful. too bad bellamy's not here. uhm...
{Twhnn sighs and tries to figure out what on earth they're supposed to do right now- somehow Not-Cain (which is a whole different issue) has gotten to the void. The thing known to be actively harmful towards players. Great.}
you didn't see, i dunno, eyes? or anything like that? or magic, or a portal- just, instantly appeared here?
"I do keep seeing eyes but I didn't see anything when I arrived here. Or-- before, for that matter."
[ He smiled awkwardly. ]
"Sorry... I know that I'm probably being the least helpful..."
[ His eyes darted away, not looking towards Twhnn. ]
nah, s'alright. things tend to be pretty confusing 'round here anyways. isn't exactly your fault. only problem is, i'm already stuck here- have been for awhile- so i don't really think I'm gonna be able to help you get out either.
{Twhnn shrugs helplessly, form fizzling and glitching for a moment before they pull themselves together again. They do have someone they could ask for- but that's last-resorts territory.]
"Ah... great. Uhm..."
[ He looked around and sighed. ]
"Please don't do this to me right now... Please."
[ He mumbled to himself, seeming to shrink into himself. ]
{Twhnn lets out a careful breath, a habit they've never managed to break. Uncertainty and scattered confusion twists inside of them, threatening to pull them apart again- but they've someone else here now, someone depending on them, and they can't fall apart. It's strangely grounding.}
hey, breathe, breathe, okay? you'll be alright, it'll be alright, promise. worst case scenario, you end up like me, and i'm just fine, right?
{They attempt to joke. They're not the greatest at it.}
i won't let that happen anyway.
"I think it's punishing me."
[ He rambled. ]
"I-- I don't know what I did wrong this time--"
{Twhnn reaches Not-Cain- hesitates- fumbles. They're not helping, their appearance isn't helping- he mention eyes, and now he's in the void, it's gotta be the watchers- they're too similar to a watcher themself- they don't know what to do. What helped Bellamy, before?}
hey- hey, look at me, breathe. you didn't do anything wrong, it's the them fuckin' with you, alright? they do that. you'll be okay.
"I don't know what to do-- I've been so faithful to it. I think it hates me. I can't be okay-- Is everything I worked for, everything I've done for it, does it mean nothing?"
[ His head shot up suddenly, looking behind himself. He stared at nothing in utter silence for a moment or two. ]
{Twhnn grimaces, a strange contortion like a nebula swirling. They stay still and respect the strange quiet suddenly fallen over the two, until they break it with a question like a pin drop in a silent theater, invisible thousands holding their breath-}
who is it?
“Something we’ve been researching for a while, it won’t tell me its name…”
[ He sighed. ]
“Sorry— I just— sometimes I panic when things that I weren’t expecting happen.”
{Twhnn attempts a sort of smile.}
that's alright. it's a normal response, yeah? think so anyways.
{They shake their head, a bit disappointed in how reliably unreliable their memory is.}
whatever. would it help- i've got a sorta- {They interrupt themself with a huff.} i know somebody who's a player; i can probably call them over here. d'you think that might help?
“Do you think so? I— I frankly have no idea!”
[ He nervously laughed. ]
“I don’t know too much about, uh, whatever’s happening here…”
[ He paused, looking behind himself again ]
{They shrug a bit defeatedly.}
yeah, that's why she might be more help. i'm also kinda just. clueless. i know you're in the void! we are, i mean. that's about it.
“If you think she might be able to help then okay…”
yeah, he tends to know what's going on better than me. might be in-and-out while she's here though, just to warn you, i guess.
“Okay…?”
[ He nodded, confused. ]
{With a broken rip- the sound of a glass shattering on hard time after too many bitter words shouted without meaning- Twhnn disappeared, the void swallowing them whole. Nothing was left in their wake- nothing but empty, lonesome void and the faux stars that speckled it.}

{Twhnn lets out a careful breath, a habit they've never managed to break. Uncertainty and scattered confusion twists inside of them, threatening to pull them apart again- but they've someone else here now, someone depending on them, and they can't fall apart. It's strangely grounding.}
hey, breathe, breathe, okay? you'll be alright, it'll be alright, promise. worst case scenario, you end up like me, and i'm just fine, right?
{They attempt to joke. They're not the greatest at it.}
i won't let that happen anyway.
"I think it's punishing me."
[ He rambled. ]
"I-- I don't know what I did wrong this time--"
{Twhnn reaches Not-Cain- hesitates- fumbles. They're not helping, their appearance isn't helping- he mention eyes, and now he's in the void, it's gotta be the watchers- they're too similar to a watcher themself- they don't know what to do. What helped Bellamy, before?}
hey- hey, look at me, breathe. you didn't do anything wrong, it's the them fuckin' with you, alright? they do that. you'll be okay.
"Uh, Hellooo?"
[ The man called out. He looked like Cain, just... without the weird unnerving features. ] - @eyesremain
{There's a shift in the void- the movement of stars hardly noticeable, yet enough to catch the eye- and then a crackle, a broken scream of noise-}
{Twhnn tries to make something understandable out of the code they once used to be, the mess of broken memories and pieces- it's far more difficult than it has any right to be, but they manage, and then they stand before the man in a humanoid form of static.}
cain? what you doin' here?
"Cain? Uh, not sure who that is. I'm Arthur, it's nice to meet you... whoever you are."
[ He didn't seem to be bothered at all by the humanoid form of static. ]
{Twhnn cocks their 'head' to the side and hums. Weird.}
call me Twhnn, if you'd like. not got much of a preference. you lost or somethin'? people can't usually get out here, y'know.
"Yeah, I think I might be... One minute I was looking around a field, next I'm here."
[ Arthur sure didn't talk like Cain either, his sentences were more human-like. ]
...right. a field, jeez. that's helpful. too bad bellamy's not here. uhm...
{Twhnn sighs and tries to figure out what on earth they're supposed to do right now- somehow Not-Cain (which is a whole different issue) has gotten to the void. The thing known to be actively harmful towards players. Great.}
you didn't see, i dunno, eyes? or anything like that? or magic, or a portal- just, instantly appeared here?
"I do keep seeing eyes but I didn't see anything when I arrived here. Or-- before, for that matter."
[ He smiled awkwardly. ]
"Sorry... I know that I'm probably being the least helpful..."
[ His eyes darted away, not looking towards Twhnn. ]
nah, s'alright. things tend to be pretty confusing 'round here anyways. isn't exactly your fault. only problem is, i'm already stuck here- have been for awhile- so i don't really think I'm gonna be able to help you get out either.
{Twhnn shrugs helplessly, form fizzling and glitching for a moment before they pull themselves together again. They do have someone they could ask for- but that's last-resorts territory.]
"Ah... great. Uhm..."
[ He looked around and sighed. ]
"Please don't do this to me right now... Please."

cain? what you doin' here?
Hey, um, are you busy…?
[he was nervous, finch wings puffed slightly, covering his weird eyes with his ear wings. He looked normal. He was okay with losing eighty percent of his vision if he looked normal.]
- @milos-mailbox
mhm? Oh course not baby- what’s wrong? <oli just crouched down and gave a wary smile- his voice was a bit more scratchy than normal and Oli seemed a bit funky acting but he’s probably fineeeee!- just gently patting the others head and giving a little hug>
I-I was wondering if we could watch a movie… the movie nights are too loud for me, but I still wanna spend time with you.
[he kept his eyes covered, not wanting Oli to see how odd they were. Black Sclera, white Iris.]
oh! Course kiddos! that sounds great! Whatcha wanna watch? And next movie night you wanna wear the noise canceling headphones? They don’t fully muffle everything but they make to more quite for you:D! Wanna go cuddle and watch movies maybe invite some of your siblings? <he just smiled and seemed a little relieved to wasn’t something bad and a bit shocked but happy it was something cute, holding back an ‘aw’ as he chuckled and kissed the others forehead while secretly being a bit relieved he got an excuse to be in his nest and not feel guilty about resting >
Nightmare Before Christmas?
[he nodded, contemplating the idea of headphones and cuddles. Both sounded nice, and he didn’t mind inviting his siblings.]
And Yeah, we could try headphones…
nightmare before Christmas it is! And ima go grab the headphones, head to my room and get comfy k? Mwah! <he just chuckled and gave the little guy a forehead kiss before getting up and messing through drawers fore a while before finding a pair of headphones and some snacks>
( @twhnn @redacted-mailbox @erebos-mailbox if yall wanna join<3)
Okay.
[he nodded, walking back. There was so many blankets and pillows, but he totally didn’t sneak into Redacted’s room to grab more and make a big nest.]
@redacted-mailbox
Wassup?
[he walked in, having noticed Milo grabbed his blankets.]
@orionsound-mailbox
<oli just popped his head in and handed Milo the headphones> movie time, wanna join? <he just ruffled moose’s hair and went back to grabbing snacks>
@milos-mailbox
[he set them down momentarily and continued to make a nest. Good nest. And lots of tiny chirps.]
Sure. We watching Nightmare before Christmas again?
[he nodded, grabbing his notebook. His wings were larger, but still no real feathers. Just down. Still floofy.]
@orionsound-mailbox
mhm! Mil choose lol. <he just plopped down in the little blanket nest and put the snacks down before putting the movie on and started to drink his soda as he chilled>
[he nodded, sitting down, still moving things around, wanting the nest perfect.]
Milo are you all baby brained right now?
[the chirping would certainly suggest yes. So he paused sketching to wait for an answer.]
@orionsound-mailbox
<oli just randomly decided to start preening the smaller two since he’s kinda going foggy into the stupid panda fever and being stupidly tired so he just gently started to fix moose’s wings to relax and keep focus on something>
@milos-mailbox
[he kept fixing random little things, not sitting still, very baby brain, must have perfect nest.]
So that’s a yes on baby brain.
[he chuckled, gladly sitting still as he sketched.]
@twhnn
{Twhnn watched from the far recesses of the tanged void they'd been trapped in for however long it was, longing for the normality of life back on the server. It'd been too long since they'd had a 'normal' day, one that wasn't full of broken memories or the void's soulless expense or the difficulties of trying to exist in a place that stifled reality.}
{They wanted to be normal again.}
{They wanted to be home again.}
{And watching their family sit together, preen together, watch movies and share food, Twhnn couldn't think of a better time to try and return to the server once more.}
<oli just randomly raised his head and looked around like there was a noise or something but there was nothing(?) he just looked back down and went back to preening before gently patting an spot next to him, just in case.>
{Twhnn rips into the server, crackling as they appear in the spot where Oli pat. It'll only be temporary, they know that, and their form is little more than a glitchy blur compared to the semi-humanoid form they usually prefer, but they're home again and that reality is more comforting than anything else they could've pictured.}
hey. long time no see, {they whisper hoarsely, resisting the urge to lean into Oli.}
mhm. Welcome home kiddo. <he just gently wrapped his arm around the others shoulder and gently pulled them close, kissing their forehead and just letting them rest, not asking questions, just being there to support.>
( @redacted-mailbox @milos-mailbox )
[he looked, chirped, then put a blanket over them. They were family. They were allowed.]
GOOSE!
[he was clearly happy to see them, but quickly lowered his volume, just smiling like crazy.]
@twhnn
{Twhnn lets themself smile a bit, quite literally melting against Oli's side. Void, they've missed this.}
moose! you've got wings!
