awakenerd | Aurora - Rean Heart

The landscape is getting greyer, flatter. The more you murder your feelings the less there is around you. For better or worse as the man said, the place reflects you to some degree.

Only the man seems to retain his colors fully.

"Have you not guessed? Ah, but I suppose his features do take more after his mother. You are in the heart of my son, Rean Schwarzer."

[But some of us? Murder our feelings???? To cope?????]

[Also that is weird and VERY SUSPICIOUS. Also how focused he is on being his son is a little weird maybe???]

I'm what?!

[But hey, here's surprise and HORROR because he was thinking this was a totem, NOT A GUY HE GREATLY CARES FOR????]

Look dude he's just a dude, here, talking to you!! About his son!!

Anyway the landscape twists a little nightmarishly at the horror, before blurring a bit like an impressionist painting as if trying to spare Dusk from seeing it.

The man doesn't seem to see the need to repeat himself though.

I thought this was a totem with someone whose already been fucked up by the Malice, why am I in Rean?!

[DON'T THINK I DIDN'T SEE THAT NIGHTMARE LANDSCAPE. At least worry is taking over All Else.]

[Go mamabear instincts.]

"Unfortunately I do not know why you were brought here."

The landscape appears to be attempting to escape. That is, it's fading into a pastel greyish blur.

[LANDSCAPE STOP DOING THAT, THAT'S VERY UNNERVING WHEN HE'S TRYING TO BE CALM!!!!]

Then....is he in danger? Is there a point to this? Does he need help or Malice is gonna eat him?

"I am unaware of any dangers of that nature. Or any point to this. But that does not mean a point does not exist. I do not know everything."

So why are you here? Just to be vaguely mysterious?

[YOU ARE FRUSTRATING SIR.]

[This is also a good alternative to murdering feelings.]

[BE PUT UPON AND ANNOYED BY ECCENTRIC PEOPLE.]

He chuckles again, amused.

"You simply aren't asking the right questions. But no, I am not here for that. I am here because part of me will always be here. If you wished to speak to someone else you need only think it. As I have said, you will affect what you find."

Don't lie to my face, because you're continuing on that being vaguely mysterious train. [Can you FEEL his judgement, not!Rean's dad? Because he's actually got a good judging dad stare.]]

Why did you show up then? It's never gone well when I learn about people's dads.

"I thought I should see who my son has a crush on. And the ethical crisis of a soldier is, shall we say, more my forte than the others. Perhaps you would rather speak to a more familiar face. El-Prado, or Ordine."

[Going red at that because he knows Rean likes me, but it's???? An actual crush?!?!?!?!]

[Hello all the flustered feelings.]

....it wasn't much of an ethical crisis. Situation, maybe, but not a crisis. Whose El-Prado and Ordine?

"Ah, I think you would know them as Rufus or Crow."

I wouldn't peg Rufus to go for a nickname like El-Prado, and he certainly doesn't fit for that to be his real name.

[SUSPICIOUS AGAIN.]

The man laughs.

"No, the one you know is simply Rufus. However the Rufus here is, without a doubt, also and undeniably, El-Prado, the Golden Knight."

Ah.

You see them as their roles before themselves.

[And that's a lot more points in the 'is probably an asshole' bucket.]

"No. I see us as who we are. Just as Rean is Valimar, the Ashen Knight. And just as we all exist within him, to a small degree, and he within us. What we are and who we are is inseparable. More so than even an identity such as "soldier", "knight" or "prince" we are Divine Knights. That cannot be changed until our fate is ended."

.....one of these days, I will hear about someone's father and they won't be an asshole who fucks with people's identity issues. But that day isn't today, unfortunately.

"I am not holding you here, young Dusk. You may leave as you will and find who you wish to speak to. If what I say bothers you perhaps it will bother you less to hear it from other sources."

Oh no, it will bother me, but I'm not surprised. I just really hate it from father's because they don't know how to be a fucking dad first before all the other bullshit. If you can't put the kid first, don't be a father, simple as that.

[And he's gonna flip him off and focus on finding Crow.]

The man shrugs but he disappears and instead Crow drops in from the nothingness and gives a jaunty wave.

"Hey hot stuff, looking for me?"

I'm looking for someone whose face I won't want to beat in. [Which he probably would with the other guy because he REALLY hates bad fathers.]

Also you're a smart guy and I'm trying to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing.

[So much frustration and worry now.]

"Don't worry. I get it. If I could gut that guy I would. I've tried a few times. He's a fucking cockroach.

Buuu~t~ not worth our time right now.

Don't think I can help on what you're supposed to do. But I can tell you how to do what you want to do."

....cockroaches still die eventually. [He's speaking from experience. MAYBE A THING TO TALK TO CROW ABOUT LATER.]

I want to not hurt Rean, but apparently I'm in his soul, and for some reason I can just accept that as a thing.

"Well I've been in his soul for centuries. Forgotten what it was like to find it weird.

He's pretty sturdy but he's also really fragile. Just play nice, you shouldn't fuck anything up too bad."
