Leaving the whole ordeal.. Teleporting right at Corbin's house.. He gave a small sigh, before giving a single half hearteed knock to the door.. Waiting for the Raven to answer. Thoughts swirling at everything that had happened... He didn't know who to turn to.. Probably should let Res know why he even used his power for a second... Probably should admit a lot of things that had been happening for days now... He felt a hole a pit in his stomach, lost confusion with no real sympathy or resolution.
Wearing just a straight leather jacket, simple white shirt, and his dorky pants that looked to be made with rather slender silky material. He held onto his phone texting to Corbin in off chance he didn't hear the knock, that he was indeed already there.

you think I'm showy but i'm not at all [.... I told Damian the truth, I was trying to stop Caelum... But he turned to Caelum, I.. Just.. Need to talk to you, can I come over?] Ugh.
I tossed the phone back on the table, burying my face in the pillow. Why do I keep getting dragged back? Why can't I just be inactive in peace? Or- better yet- why can't my player finish a single thread? At least then I'd feel better about these stupid hiatuses...hopefully Henry was alright.
A muffled knock prompted me to sit up. That fast, huh? "One moment!" I called out, standing up and throwing on something presentable. Truth be told I didn't care at this point, but I doubted Atonix wanted to see me half naked.
It took a minute or so before I answered the door. "Firstly, thanks for getting me out of that haitus. Secondly, what ever loving hell did you unleash?" I stepped back from the door to let Atonix in. "For you to come to me and not someone actually useful it must be bad."

Out of the Hiatus.. Atonix looked down at the cement meeting carpet.. The scent of the house slipping out.. His eyes just coming off sad, "The void... I wish I'd stayed.. It... never seems to go well..... Ever for me..." He rubbed his wrist thinking of other past sudden hiatus escapes.. Just. Wasn't fair really.
He stepped in after Corbin stepped back, his gaze flickered from the floor back up to Corbin's.... "Yeah..... Really bad... The timeline is so fucked up to the point, I don't even know how Res hadn't noticed or cared... But is it.. Just.." He gave a sigh shaking his head, looking up to corbin again.. "Have you met Inri? The wendigo hybrid?" Just wasn't even sure what to say.. or even do. Just. why here Why now? Just.. Wanted someone to hug, who else than the most private individual?

you think I'm showy but i'm not at all "I haven't checked recently but I'm willing to bet my right kidney that they're also currently out of commission." That, or napping. It was always hard to tell with Res. "Inri? Can't say I have..." I took a moment to pull out my phone and check the site. If I hadn't interacted with them then maybe someone else has? "A wendigo hybrid? Man, you're just a magnet to the dangerous and deadly, aren't you?" Nope, nothing for Inri, but Caelum did show up a few times...
I glanced down at Ant and sighed. Poor guy, he looked so pitiful...probably because he done something very bad but I digress. "Did you want a drink or something? Or did you want to get straight into telling me exactly what's going on. I can't decide whether to help you or kill you myself if I don't know anything after all."

Drink was nice.... really nice.. anything to take his time going back to his home.. the fear clutching his throat what he'd fine there. Damn, how did he get so caught up in all this. Hell.. He went out of his way NOT to be caught up in any of this! Why he was so out of commission for so long....
Taking a seat... Playing his fingers against the sofa, he gave a small sigh, "Guess I should begin...Caelum.. Out seeking Hybrids to create a Hybrid army.. It was behind the roleplay scenes for months.. Hell.. probably years now, with these Players... I.. I was.... Living with Inri... Under a.. Uhh.. Nothing important." He shook his head trying to focus what to reveal first, "So like.. I thought Inri was out traveling finding a way to defeat Caelum.. I..... Stayed out of the way... Focusing just.. living.... And I just learned. Nathan, this guy.. Had hime... tortured him... And Caelum slipped in the weakness that was created leftover.."
He shook his head, scratching the scalp... Tearing up, "I-I can't do this anymore... It never seems to stop. We solve one Story problem, just there comes another worst version. Hell.. Now Damian.."

you think I'm showy but i'm not at all The more I watched him the worse I felt. Everything about him, from his looks to even his mannerisms screamed sad and depressed. His explanation made everything worse.
"Huh.." That was the only thing I could say. All of that, played out for an indefinite amount of time. I wish I could say I was shocked, but I wasn't. It sounded exactly like something that would happen... "I'm sorry to hear that.." I hesitated for a few moments before sitting down beside Atonix and an arm around his shoulders. He was right, every time something is fixed something else happens. A never ending cycle...God I wish I was back on hiatus. But I guess it's a good thing I wasn't, Ant looked like he needed a lot of support right now.
"...Is there anything I can do to help you?"

He didn't get the drink, Atonix really didn't care too buried in self-doubt. He just released another deep sigh, shaking his head.. Fighting the urge to scream release whatever power he had to maybe just make the whole town to disintegrate himself included.. Just end their little games for good.
As Corbin asked... about what he could do to help.. All Atonix could think, was how little he helped in helping prevent this.. All this.. How he and Henry both pushed Damian away... "Damian... Why didn't you tell him? He trusted you... It.. It.. wasn't fair.." His gold eyes looked up to meet with Corbin's.

you think I'm showy but i'm not at all There was a few moments of silence before Atonix said something. ...Ah. "...I..." I thought for a few moments, trying to figure out what to say.. "...I was scared. I was scared that the players would hurt him again, or that he'd think I was against him because he's technically a player too, or...or..." I glanced down at the floor, arm still loosely wrapped around Atonix. "....This ability is a curse, Atonix, and I don't want anyone else to suffer through it, especially not for a second time. That wouldn't be fair."
There was a few long beats of silence before I glanced back at him. There was so many questions I wanted to throw his way; Is Damian involved in this? Why didn't he tell Damian earlier if he thought it so important? Why is he here and not with someone like Res?? Instead I just sighed and leaned back into the couch. "...How dare you remind me how much life sucks.."

Scared... Scared.. Scared! Atonix was right, they choose to hide it from Damian to protect him. He just found himself snuggling into the hug, sighing before pulling away as Corbin talked of the curse and.. how he didn't wish it on Damian. "Yeah... Well.. Could say the Biggest Villain in the background him. Hope your protection was worth it." He shook his head distancing himself.
As Corbin was silent for long period of time.. As he mentioned about life sucking.. He.. just.. Hated it, all of it. "I-I need to go... Just... Thought you should know, don't trust Damian, no telling what will happen now..." He stepped back once more, reaching the door. If Corbin didn't stop him, he'd leave.. If corbin did he might share more of emotions and information he is locking away.

you think I'm showy but i'm not at all "...Hold on." Damian as the biggest villain? But he was talking about Caelum and Inri and all that eariler? How does Damian fit into that...?? As soon as Atonix stood up to leave, I hopped up and tried to grab his wrist. "What do you mean? You said you told Damian, but I thought that was just something small and unrelated. What did you tell him? Did someone else get involved? You're not telling me everything, Ant."
I should have let him go in hopes that he'd be smart enough to go find someone more suited for this issue, but it was Atonix. He's a dumbass who thinks that the best course of action is to vaguely say things and then try and ditch half way through an explanation. It was a miracle Hun didn't rip him to shreds by now..
"You can't expect help if you don't tell someone everything. Now, please, sit back down and start again. There's more and more to unpack here and the sooner you start talking the sooner we can maybe try to fix things." Or find someone who can. Either or.

"Hold on" Corbin's hand grabbed at his wrist, Atonix paused looking back at him sorrow written all over. What did he mean? Why did he say that? Why was he just trying to walk away. He clenched a fist releasing a small sigh.... How.. Could he tell Corbin what he had done? What he failed to do? Hell.. He still had to face nathan after this.
Corbin continued explaining about how he actually wanted to help.. To sit down and tell him everything, that the sooner he did sooner he can somehow make it better. Atonix swallowed some saliva, "Okay.. I-I'll like that drink now.." He requested before pulling away, to sit at Corbin's table... Waiting silently...
About time Corbin came back with a drink, he accepted taking a swallow shaking his head.. "I-I decided to stop sitting around waiting for Inri to return.. Take things into my own hands. Thought if I could learn who Caelum already gotten, I could stop him from getting all his targets..." He shook his head, "Going to the Cafe to warn the red-head Barista Coda.. Only to learn Damian was talking to Caelum.. Trusting Caelum.." He shook his head tears brimming the eyes. "I though Caelum already marked him, and the Monster erased all his memories already... No.. That wasn't it, he was trying to.. But.. but.. I stepped in.. Answering all Damian's questions, to get him to step away from Caelum, not trust him... And It only" He shook his head, "Pushed him closer to Caelum, believing the monster could help him fix the damage he'd done... Henry, He felt as if he Owed You and Henry... Something, fix something."
There came a pause, "Damian now knows about being a roleplayer, about Bill's death, and just... Want a solution to make things better." he took another swallow waiting for Corbin to respond... Knowing there's more, that he really didn't talk about Why Corbin couldn't trust damian anymore.. Or even Who or What Caelum was.. Or even What all this had to do with Nathan and Inri and Just.. Everything. He got caught up in.

you think I'm showy but i'm not at all Thank god he stopped, I was worried he'd keep going and leave. "Alright. I'm not sure what I have but I'll try and get you something good." As he sat at the table, I went into the kitchen. A couple of minutes later I came back out and slid a drink across the table. It looked like chocolate milk. Which was fair, it was mostly chocolate milk, with a few other things mixed in. It should taste good if anything.
Once he got his drink he started talking and I started listening.
"...So that's it, huh. Caelum tried getting to Damian, you tried to stop it, and things spiraled from there..." He felt like he owed me and Henry something. That hurt the most. But it was nice to see that Atonix did try and protect Damian- even if it was to stop Caelum. "...You said that Caelum has targets, do you happen to know who they are..?" Inri and Nathan's parts were still dubious, but I decided to leave that for now. We can talk about those later once he's either a bit more emotionally sound or quenched. For now Caelum seemed like a good place to start.

He drank some more of the chcolate milk enjoying the flavor.. It was nice.. it at least calmed his nerves. "Yeah... Same ol' Same ol'.. Try to help or improve something, and it goes out of control." He shook his head upset, before answering Corbin's question. "Hybrids... Anything with mix blood is on his radar... I-I can write a list but its another timeline.. Another world... and probably not accurate... Besides.. He probably already got every character there is.." He shook his head giving a sigh.

you think I'm showy but i'm not at all Anything with mixed blood... That should narrow the list down, but I don't even know all the full blooded races in town.. "Fair enough." Probably got every character there is. Hm. Wonder if we could throw someone under the bus and use them as bait...probably use one of Inus characters. They haven't rped in months so everyone in town has probably forgotten about us. But that would require a plan. And we have no plan right now.
I leaned back in the chair and thought. "...And you said that Caelums goal is to have a hybrid army? For what exactly? Taking over the world or something..?"

There was a small silence, during this time atonix just enjoyed the momentsry peace... It was surprising how much peace their is in this chaotic messed up universe.
"Probably.. what we tyrannical masterminds do... Take over the world using magic..."
