Hello, everyone! after dealing with real life and the other nonsense of living, panny and i have decided to bring back war of change. give a round of applause. we’ve worked through all of the information and hopefully improved coherency and cohesion; however, tell us if we missed something. eventually, we’ll announce an event to celebrate the re-opening, so look out for information on that. -RAIDNE, THE HEAD ADMIN
From the moonless night, screams of terror and fear resound, spreading across the world and infecting the masses; however, those sleepless nights occurred years ago. A new era began with the fires of war, and with no end in sight, the residents of Selene Isle trudge through life, basking in the momentary peace. Despite their prayers for continued monotony and peace, a storm brews, stirred to life by the continued presence of Rapture and Wraith. And as we set our sights on the seemingly peace laden isle, we must ask: how shall this tale end?
As the years passed, the number of true pairs increased; however, they continued to live in the shadows, catering to the whims of the mundane. Seven Moons kept watch over them all, instructing them and assisting them, but for many, the attitudes and ideals of the organization were smoldering, suffocating. With Seven Moons and the mundanes, they could not grasp the freedom, the power dangling before their eyes. In the beginning, rebellion was a dream, a fantasy, a figment—developed by the repressed and carried forward due to the nature of humanity. No one expected the call to sound, and no one expected the call to be answered. However, it happened.
He honestly felt weird, to be in this situation. This guy had gone from his doctor to being his partner? How did that even work. It confused him if he wanted to be really honest about this. Faye just wanted to run the other direction, maybe that would be a better idea. He'd be okay then right? It was all one of those to be seen sort of things. But of course he'd rather not end up digging back into that. Since it wasn't likely to help either at this point. Faye was excited but scared. This person was his partner, and yet he barely knew him. The guy looked not that old but he wasn't a teenager or a young adult that was for sure. He might just be on the very edge of being young or old. Probably? He couldn't entirely judge, it hurt Faye's brain too much to try and judge that sort of thing. So why would he bother? He just glanced around, trying to take in the scene of this room. Trying to see if he could find a way out. That was if he needed to, so far this person didn't seem to want to threaten him or hurt him. Faye didn't think of any doctors that he knew who tried to hurt people. So of course he started to lose his overly worried nature.
This was still weird though, how could he be his partner? It wasn't like he ever met him before, so that was strange on it's own really. And yet at the same moment he'd rather shrug it off. Though would it even work out that well. He just glanced at him then wondered what he was supposed to do. This made him feel awkward, and in general that was just how he was, it would not end up changing anytime soon. Basically. At that moment he'd rather not get into trouble or bring attention to any of this either. "What do you get it!? Do you...understand now." He had to ask as he just grabbed his shirt and slipped it back on. This might not be good but was it bad? He couldn't honestly tell right now. And it already made him feel really awkward. Like if he wasn't careful he'd end up ticking someone off. Which was not what he wanted. At this moment he could just glance at him and tilt his head. Why did this doctor seem so confused? Faye didn't even know this guy, he wasn't that old or young and he didn't go out of his way to do things either. Why would he bother?
"Well...it's not that shocking is it? I mean...we have to figure it out regardless." He didn't sigh, no his face held a smile. He was trying to not stress over this but like it'd work out that well. Since he was already in an awkward place. His mind was racing and he barely knew where to go with any of this right now. "Just get me water then? I-I don't know what to do about this either. I mean it's really weird." He sighed a bit now, and just leaned back on the couch. His body was aching and it made him feel seriously sick. Yet what was he supposed to do. What could he say? Since right now he found his sacrifice apparently? It was so strange, he almost didn't know what to say. For that moment he'd rather just pretend he didn't care or have any feelings in this situation. But he was still so jumpy, so much for being able to relax. That just wasn't going to happen now. And he had to deal with that.
He felt so weird down here. What was he going to say.
“Yeah, yeah, I get it- Don’t worry, I’ll stop ordering you around like that,” Henry promised, not wanting to make his fighter hate him already. Hell, he wouldn’t be surprised if that was already the case, with how much he seemed to freak Faye out. For the longest time he craved to be a part of a true pair, to experience what a bond like that felt like, so he didn’t want to mess this up so quickly. It certainly wasn’t an ideal start, he could only hope for a chance of salvaging all of this.
When the younger asked if it was really ‘that shocking’ he just stared for a couple seconds before chuckling and shaking his head. “It kind of is, really. I mean, I tried to find my partner for so many years and in so many places- my home towns and everywhere on vacations. I gave up on finding you long ago, it really is strange that I just happened to find you while walking along the street… The world just works in strange ways, I guess,” he shrugged before taking another swig of his beer. “You are right though, about figuring this out… You do know about spell battles and all that at least, right? I’ve never participated in one myself of course, but I’ve studied them quite a bit.”
When Faye requested a water he went to refill the glass that he had poured for the younger one previously, adding in a couple more ice cubes as well. “Here- Sorry, I didn’t realize you had finished your glass already,” he apologized with a little smile, setting it down on the table next to the couch again before taking a seat in his chair once more. “It is weird, huh? Let’s see… Getting to know each other certainly wouldn’t hurt, but maybe that’d be better saved for later. If you’re not feeling up for it at the moment, feel free to just rest. I could help you back to your home too, if you’d feel more comfortable there,” Henry offered, figuring it’d probably help if they could get past just being strangers to each other.
He hoped so, really Faye didn't know what to say. This whole thing was awkward, he felt sick. Faye wanted to make all of that go away. But it wasn't like it would work anyway. Not now, or later. Or any time. Basically. Though he'd rather not end up digging into those things all over again. It just honestly didn't seem like a good idea either. Well as long as he wasn't going to get ordered around anymore. Faye would be so fine with this. Or at least so he thought. Either way he'd rather shrug it off. For once. Honestly knowing he found his partner was a good thing, but also a bad thing. It worried him in ways no one imagined, or no one would ever know.
This whole thing was honestly really awkward. But at that same moment he'd rather not talk about it. He just waited for the water and sipped at it when he finally got it. After all his stomach was still hurting right now. It didn't make him feel any better. He almost didn't know what to do, or how he'd end up going about these things. It was also a bit strange. And he'd rather not end up getting dragged back into these things really. Since it was not likely to even help him by this point. Who knew what he was truly getting into, or feeling right now. It made him feel seriously strange and confused.
What could he say? What could he do? Faye only had to accept this but it didn't entirely mean he wanted to. Or knew how to either. "It is? Well..you found me now, even if this a bit weird. It's not bad, you are complete now." He was rambling on, or trying to figure things out. Really his brain was starting to run all over the place and it made him feel so weird. He barely knew what to say, honestly it'd probably not end up improving matters either at this point. More or less, but at that same moment all the confusion starting to come back again. All those things he felt and didn't understand.
"Yea they teach it to us at the school...it's one of the first things we learn about." At least he did, but of course Faye was a fighter. He had to know these things even if he seemed like a giant ball of cute fluff right. But that moment he'd rather shake it off completely. He'd deal with that later, he was just trying to sip the water and keep from stressing over things right now. "I'm fine...just I don't know what to talk about. You can explain a few things about yourself perhaps? You are a doctor after all, you have to at least have something to talk about." He didn't want to go home right now. But he wouldn't admit that, he'd just keep on waiting for now.
He would just stay put for now, to learn more about his apparent partner.
