Subject:
Warnings: Mention of death and torture. Threads are likely to end up going deeply traumatic places.
(It's a typical day on Nogard, though many people who see this might be elsewhere.
Many have probably heard by now that Chris is dead. Has been dead for several days, in fact, after being captured and tortured by Ganon.
Except... they're not?
That's definitely a shot of a very panicked looking Chris running... somewhere, not paying attention to the shellphone clutched in their hand or noticing that it's recording.
Several people can be heard yelling in surprise in the background as Chris darts past them.
...The fuck are they even running from? It doesn't sound like they're being chased.
The hand holding the shellphone bumps into something, and the video cuts out.)

(Yeah they don't care if she eats. They will, in fact, finally start nibbling on things again.)
This isn't like the badguys in your world. There's stuff worse than any of the people or things you've mentioned ...and that's before you get to the actually bad parts.
no subject
[ She doesn't know if it's possible. But that also means there's no proof it's impossible. ]
no subject
(Would anyone take them? It feels like a lot to ask.)

That'd just make me a weird freak in your world. There aren't even any actual humans there.
no subject
Our mansion has a ghost, a former secret agent, a clone, my Uncle has hired a mad scientist, his driver has probably dated a version of himself from another dimension, my kids best friends include a realistic android and a girl who used to be a living shadow, my twin brother is unwillingly besties with a god, I've roomed with a semi-hostile alien...
I think we can adjust.
no subject
(They frown.)
But those people... they look and act and think like ducks, right? Or other animal people.
no subject
Have I ever shown you that "ducks" act any different than other people here?
no subject
Don't you miss having other Ducks around, Della?
(They already hated the isolation of being a cuckoo among Re-Genes, and the isolation of being a Re-Gene among humans... this just seems like it'd be even more isolating.)
no subject
[ A soft little chuckle. ]
Maybe we should start smaller. Nobody says you have to stay with my world forever... we can work on a vacay!
no subject
It'd be better than home, at least.
(Still, they seem pretty dispirited.
All this food--so much their favorite kinds even--and they don't seem that interested.)
no subject
... But like everything else, we should take this all one day at a time. I'll still fight for you, but I won't push where you should go or what you should do. Just think of me as working behind the scenes.
no subject
I haven't actually told you anything.
no subject
... Do you want to?
no subject
I... don't know.
no subject
No matter what, you can talk to me anytime you want. Even if it's the middle of the night, and you just wanna vent, call me up and I'll answer.
CW: Mentions of people as property, implied medical horror
They pick at a pastry.)
They tried to break me. When they ...caught me. After I didn't die. I'd been nearly killed by something valuable, and that made me valuable, even though normally they'd just scrap a recaptured runaway for parts.
no subject
... If it's not too terrible to ask... how old were you, when this all happened?
no subject
They sigh. Are they really doing this?)
Physically, or chronologically? I was born the equivalent of a teen.
(And they look around thirty something, so if they age normally...)
no subject
And how long ago was that? ... Not that it makes it any less awful. I just... don't want you to feel like I'm treating you like a child, or a way you don't want to feel.
no subject
Probably the equivalents of 20 and 25, I guess. Physically I'm 30 something now.
(They still feel weird around children.)
no subject
[ Ha. Hahahaha. Haaaa. Oof. ]
I'm sorry, this is still a lot to process, and humor is a common defense mechanism. Not blaming you, this is on me.
no subject
(They sigh.) I didn't really want anyone to be processing it, but Ganon decided everyone needed to see what I looked like in addition to just torturing me.
(If it seems like they aren't treating torture like it's a big deal... well they did just admit to being tortured at distressingly young ages.
They're used to it.)
no subject
[ Snarl. There are things worse than death, and she may have picked up some things from bad guys, plus her mental stability will never be 100% thanks to her time on the moon... but she shakes her head, refocusing. ]
... Have you heard from anyone else? Your friends?
no subject
(There's a note of warning there. Della, he will kill you, stay away from Ganon.)
Some of them, yeah.
