Support for Abused Souls

Simon couldn’t help but chuckle softly at that. Because hey what else was he supposed to do? It was most definitely really concerning though.

Yeah that is rather concerning…but at least we’re not alone anymore, right?

_Brenn groaned shaking his head, "I'd rather it not be either of us. It's not fair for either of us to have to go through this and you know it. I just wish we weren't stuck here with Astral, he's a monster." He said resting his head on Gareth's shoulder. He knew that the other man was at least a little stressed about the way Astral treated him, and he knew he hated it, but he somehow ended putting himself into this sort of situation.

I wasn't going to do anything to begin with, okay? I just said hi to you.

'I'm here for a few seconds and Gareth already gets onto me.' He thought shaking his head, 'I swear, I've apologized to the both of them so many times, yet he still hates me.'

'Good Lord' Felix face-palmed seeing the other's man's spelling, 'I know he's a cat or something like that, but hasn't Brenn worked with him on spelling?' As if he spelled things right all the time.

Seriously man?

_Brenn glanced over at Gareth, "I thought you would lay off him for once, he's in the same situation that we are." And he just sighed shaking his head, "You shouldn't be used to this though."

"I said chill Gareth." Brenn said his voice raising ever so slightly, "Can we just enjoy this time that you're a human rather then talk about him, please? This doesn't happen too often, and if Astral finds out about you know, this won't ever happen at all, or it might happen more, but I won't get to be with you."

Uhm, well, wait, didn't someone else say they were claimed by Astral and living with him, +Anonymous I think? Where are you?

Simon had been watching this whole thing go down feeling like he was watching a dramatic reality tv show, and forgot he was actually part of it until he saw someone mention him.

Anonymous is typing

Yep! I’m actually in Astral’s room..he never set somewhere else up for me and hasn’t kicked me out so I just stay in here. Where are you guys?

Brenn glanced over at Gareth in confusion, "Is it possible that maybe Astral has a whole other side to his palace that we've never seen, or maybe he's just really good at hiding this man." He shook his head in confusion, "How could this guy be in his room, but we've never seen him?"

Aardvark is typing. . .

Uhm, you sure? I was just in his room, and there was no one else in there, right now we're in the living outside the kitchen, but uhm, this is weird. . .

Simon’s brow furrowed confusedly. That was where he was right? Simon being Simon, of course doubted himself before he doubted the others. But it could be possible that Astral had constructed multiple versions of the same rooms.

Anonymous is typing

I swear that’s where I am.

He stood up, which of course required a bit more effort now. He opened the door to the room, peeking out into the living room.

Yeah I just looked out into the living room, I don’t see anyone else. Could he have made multiple versions of the same rooms??

Chills went down his spine as he glanced over at Gareth, "Uhm this is terrifying. . ." Then he thought of something, at times during the day when he was by himself he would hear noises down the hall or voices too. he had always just said that it was the trinkets talking to each other, but maybe this would make sense. He stood up and walked to the end of the hallway by the kitchen and knocked on the wall, hoping that the other man might hear it. Then he remembered he should probably let the other man know.

Aardvark is typing. . .

Could you got to the end of the hall, down by where the bathrooms are, I want to see something, maybe you could hear me, but there might be another duplicate between us. Either that, or we're in another dimension, Astral's proven those to be a thing.

Torin swallowed faintly. Marcos had always been kind to him…well, mostly. There had been that time when he'd been shrunk, but other than that, the moon god had always been so kind and gentle with him…

SwearByTheStars is typing...

I
I don't know what to say. Marcos has always been kind to me. Astral and Derlik have each been assholes, but…when I committed suicide Marcos was very kind withme

Brenn sighed, "If he hears me, just tell him that I'm just being an idiot or something, or that I'm trying to test something, he'll probably believe that, unless he's in one of the other duplicates you know?"

Felix_The_Cat is typing. . .

+SwearByTheStars, how do you know Derlik? Just out of curiosity?

When Felix saw that his boyfriend was mentioned in the chat he was curious to see what the other man had to see, and to hear how the god had treated him. Hopefully it wasn't like how Astral treated Brenn.

*Simon couldn’t help but get a little excited, it’d been so long since he’d seen people besides Astral, and the possibility made him happy. “There might be other people here!” He said excitedly to Mia, gently picking his friend up. “We just have to go to the end of the hall. If it’s nothing then I’ll come right back, promise.”

Anonymous is typing

I’ll be right there.

He looked down at himself, mentally checking his appearance, an old habit that he’d repurposed for this particular situation. Despite the oversized hoodie he wore, he knew others could somewhat see the baby bump through it. He sighed in annoyance. Well it’s not like there was anything he could do about it anyway. He walked down to the end of the hallway. “Hello?” He said, feeling a bit silly for talking to a wall. Regardless, he knocked softly.

Torin almost laughed.

SwearByTheStars is typing...

When I was first claimed he kept coming around and harassing me. Tried to abduct me. Made trauma from astral worse. Stuff like that.

Brenn turned to look at Gareth when he heard the knock, grinning like a fool. "Seeeeeeeeeeee, I told you that something was up when we heard those voices." He knocked back and said a hello, hopefully, loud enough for the other man to hear, but not for Astral - wherever the hell he was- to hear. "Are you okay, and is Astral there?" He called through the wall, hoping that the other man or person could hear.

Felix_The_Cat is typing. . .

What the hell! I'm going to have to talk to Derlik about that, he told me that he had never really hurt any other mortals, except for a few, but nothing too bad. But still, that's not right, and maybe I can get him to apologize or something?

Torin swallowed faintly. He couldn't imagine Marcos doing something so horrible. Not the Marcos he knew, anyways.

SwearByTheStars is typing...

Where are you +Wren? can try and help

He realized he had missed another person's response, and sighed faintly.

SwearByTheStars is typing...

+Felix_the_Cat yeah he's kinda an asshole, sorry

Simon smiled over at Mia, looking more excited than he’d been in the past month and a half. Then he remembered he actually needed to say something back. “Y-Yes hello, I’m okay…I guess. And no, Astral’s not here.”

Felix sighed shaking his head, he wanted to tell Derlik, but if he told him, then he might get the others in trouble, Derlik couldn't seem to keep things to himself.

Felix_ The_Cat is typing. . .

He never told me about that though, that's what upsets me, he promised me that he would be open about his past, not hide it.

Brenn was so happy, "That's good, he's not here either, maybe he's down on earth, or with another one of his well, never mind. I'm so glad to know that there is someone else here, it's so good to hear someone else voice." He smiled happily up at Gareth, so excited to meet these other people, "I'm Brenn, and the other guy is Gareth."

(gtg in about twenty minutes sorry)

Torin bit his lip for a moment, then nodded to himself.

SwearByTheStars changed their name to Stars
Stars is typing...

+Felix_The_Cat oh yeah. Idk what to tell you
+ClaimedByAGod yes probably. I can't believe I haven't seen you. Or Skyla hasn't, she's all over twh place

Simon smiled, sighing softly in relief. “I’m glad too…it’s been awhile since I’ve heard a stranger’s voice.” He chuckled softly. “I never thought that’s something I would miss.” He slowly sat down on the floor, knowing Mia would get worried if he was up for too long. “Well hopefully that means we’ll be able to talk to each other for awhile then. Do you think there’s any way for us to get through this wall?”
