MASKTOURN

Asha was making her way over to the refectory to grab dinner, anxiously eyeing the streets in front of her, and holding on to that sharp object still. @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

Leaving the refectory was Cansu, who had a bowl of nuts and seeds with him. The deity was eating a shelled walnut, crunching on it as he walked. As Asha got closer, he stopped walking, looking at her with a raised eyebrow. He was curious about what it was that she was holding. @Mads | Roman 🥁 Asha 🎆 ? 🪱

As soon as Asha saw a man walking toward her, then stop, she stopped as well. Her grip tightened on the object. "Who a- wait, are you Kal's demon brother? You look just like how he described you.." @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

“Who said that?” Cansu frowned. He didn’t know who that was. “I’m no one’s brother, and I’m not a demon.” @Mads | Roman 🥁 Asha 🎆 ? 🪱

"Well- Kal said he talked to.. Someone who looked just like you. Then I guessed that you were his long lost demon brother." Asha explained poorly. ".. But who exactly are you? And how are you related to Kal?" @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

“So that’s the moron’s name,” Cansu grumbled as he shoved another shelled walnut into his mouth. He chewed on it, thinking of how to answer this random woman’s question. “I am Cansu, deity of water and lightning,” Cansu spoke. “Who are you?” @Mads | Roman 🥁 Asha 🎆 ? 🪱

"Hey, he's not a moron he's just not the smartest guy in the room." Asha said. "I'm Asha Issa, the Motomja of Mlipuko, if you want to use those long titles." @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

“He’s a moron through and through. You don’t need to sugarcoat things,” Cansu snorted. “Mlipuko, huh? Can’t say I’ve ever heard of it.” @Mads | Roman 🥁 Asha 🎆 ? 🪱

"It's- a small village that exports gunpowder and fireworks in Ninjago. Not many, um, deities have heard about it I'd guess.." Asha said. "But why did you stop and stare at me? It's creepy." @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

Cansu used his thumb to point over his shoulder at the refectory. “I was coming from that direction, and you were coming this way. I can’t help but be curious in another contestant, just as you’re curious in me.” @Mads | Roman 🥁 Asha 🎆 ? 🪱

".. but you stopped walking to stare at me. I only stopped because you stopped." Asha said, eyeing him suspiciously. @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

Cansu put another shelled walnut into his mouth. He loudly crunched on it as he continued to stare at Asha. Once he was done eating, he spoke. “Why do you think I’m related to that moron?” Cansu spoke, ignoring Asha’s statement. @Mads | Roman 🥁 Asha 🎆 ? 🪱

".. It was just a guess of mine based on what Kal told me." Asha said after a moment of silence. She readjusted her grip. "Sorry if that was offensive, I was mostly just joking with him." @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

“It is offensive,” Cansu huffed. “To think that I share an ounce of blood with him is demeaning.” He paused again. “What did he say about me?” @Mads | Roman 🥁 Asha 🎆 ? 🪱 (edited)

".. Nothing too specific. If you're not related to him, why do you care?" Asha asked. @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

“Isn’t it natural to be curious in what someone says about you behind your back?” @Mads | Roman 🥁 Asha 🎆 ? 🪱

".. He just warned me to stay away from you because you seem a bit scary. He was just worried about me." Asha huffed. "You also mentioned his dad, Marco, why?" @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

“Scary, huh?” Cansu hummed. “I’m not quite that scary. As for mentioning his father, it’s because I know his father. On a very personal note, to be honest.” @Mads | Roman 🥁 Asha 🎆 ? 🪱

"You know his father very closely, but you're not his brother.." Asha repeated back. Well, everyone here was gay, so... "Are you Marco's husband?" @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

Cansu looked revolted. So much so that he jerked back, nearly spilling his seeds and nuts in the process. “Lover-” Ew, brother ew. “I am no such thing.” @Mads | Roman 🥁 Asha 🎆 ? 🪱

"Urgh- then just tell me how you're related and I can stop guessing!" Asha huffed. "I'm trying my best here!" @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

Cansu crossed his arms over his chest. “I’m not related to Kal,” Cansu motioned to his body. “However, this body is. I am a deity using this body.” @Mads | Roman 🥁 Asha 🎆 ? 🪱

This made even less sense. ".. Okay, so you're a demon possessing his brother. But Kal doesn't look like you- not even half." @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

“No, I am a deity.” Cansu huffed. “There’s a bond that connects the deity to the host. I’m simply in control at the moment, and being in control means that the body takes on certain physical changes. Those being the hair, eyes-” He extended his wings. “Wings. This host is that moron’s half brother. Their relation is through Marco.” @Mads | Roman 🥁 Asha 🎆 ? 🪱

"What's the difference between a.. demon and a deity??" Asha asked. ".. When you're not changing his appearance does he look more like Kal..? I don't think I see it." @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

“There’s a difference.” Cansu said firmly, but didn’t expand on it. “I would say the two look similar. Though, this host takes after his mother more than the father, whereas the moron does resemble his blasted father.” @Mads | Roman 🥁 Asha 🎆 ? 🪱

".. Okay..?" Asha shrugged. "Kal's a handsome guy, so I guess he has a singular thing to thank his no good dad for. Is that all you have to say about him?" @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

“.. All that I have to say about the moron, or the bastard of a father?” Cansu asked with a raised eyebrow. @Mads | Roman 🥁 Asha 🎆 ? 🪱

"Either one. And stop calling Kal that, that's mean. He might be stupid but he's a really nice guy, so show him some respect." @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

Cansu huffed out a laugh. “Is it really mean if it’s the truth? From what I’ve seen, there’s little going on in that head of his.” His eyes narrowed slightly. “That makes him all the more dangerous, for what is in his mind, I’m sure, is nothing good.” @Mads | Roman 🥁 Asha 🎆 ? 🪱

".. The only thing on Kal's mind is rock climbing and respecting women, in that order. Are you really judging him just because of his dad he's never even met, and who he hates?" @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

“I’m convinced there’s something mischievous going on.” Cansu insisted. “Yes, I am judging him. I interacted with him, and something was wrong. That man isn’t normal.” @Mads | Roman 🥁 Asha 🎆 ? 🪱

"Well, I've known Kal longer than you, young man. He's fine. When I was drunk, he took me back to my room and left, like a gentleman. If he was secretly cruel, I would have known by now. There's nothing but love in that guy." Asha said. "And I think he's kind of autistic or something, and you're being abel-ist. Stop judging him from one interaction." @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

“Hmph. Maybe he acted different then, but it has to be different now. The moron is suspicious. There’s something unnatural about him. He’s not- He’s just wrong.” Cansu frowned. “Artistic. You pronounced the word wrong- What does his artistic ability have to do with any of this?” @Mads | Roman 🥁 Asha 🎆 ? 🪱

"I think you're a suspicious, unnatural moron." Asha said. "And no I don't mean artistic! How do you not know what being autistic is??" @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

“I am a god, I’m no moron.” Cansu glared. “You best watch your tongue if you know what’s best for you. As for ‘autistic-’ That does not sound like a real word.” @Mads | Roman 🥁 Asha 🎆 ? 🪱

"Trying to silence a woman sounds just like something Kal's awful dad would do." Asha crossed her arms over her chest and raised one eyebrow. "One of my best friends is autistic, and I'm pretty sure Kal is too. It just means you- you interact differently. You're not good with social stuff. And there's some other stuff too." @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

“I’ve killed plenty of individuals, but never because they were a man or woman. I’m sure that beating a woman is something Kal would do. He probably does it in his free time. He’s probably been hiding how cruel he is.” Cansu huffed. As he listened, he let out a hum. “Ah, so he’s even more unnatural than I initially thought.” @Mads | Roman 🥁 Asha 🎆 ? 🪱 (edited)

Asha's slightly pissed expression turned in to full blown anger. She glared and grimaced, just a tad. "Shut up! You're awful, you know that? I see why Kal got such rancid vibes from you!" Asha raised her hand that was holding something, and it shot forward. The sharp pointed object flew forward with a trail of sparks behind it, but right before it could hit Cansu, it veered off to the side and exploded in a loud bang. A few pieces of rubble harmlessly bounced off of his side as it fluttered to the ground. "The next time that'll be your head! Do you hear yourself you stupid overgrown vulture?? What are you even talking about! You're just being so awful to everyone now- being autistic doesn't make you unnatural!" @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

Cansu didn't flinch as Asha attempted to hit him. The deity raised an eyebrow and plopped another shelled walnut into his mouth. "You know, where Kal's from, doing that would've gotten you killed. In fact, just being a woman could've gotten you killed. I'm sure had Kal grown up there, and he was the one you had spoken to that way, he would've done it." Cansu hummed. "By the way, isn't your match against that moron? He'll really be connecting with his roots by fighting you. I'm sure he doesn't intend on letting you life." Cansu rolled his eyes. "I doubt that'll be my head. Now, you're the one who said that they 'interact differently.' To be different is against the norm, and thus, to be different is wrong. It's unnatural, not accepted. I hope you do win your match, so one less individual like him doesn't have to exist anymore. Plus, it'll save me the work of killing him myself." @Mads | Roman 🥁 Asha 🎆 ? 🪱

"What are you even talking about?!" Asha shouted. "It- it doesn't matter where Kal's dad is from, he was raised by an amazing single mom, he wouldn't kill me for no reason! If you have to look in to alternate universes to find a reason to call him evil, that's moronic! I'm sure there's a universe where I'm evil if you look hard enough." "You make no sense, having black eyes and wings isn't natural either, does that make you unnatural?" "And I do plan on winning, but it's not because of your weird stupid feelings about him. It's just because I have a family to get home to." Asha started to walk forward again toward him, glaring as she went. "Now get out of my way and think before you speak again, I'm going to the refectory." @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

“We’re from the same universe,” Cansu spoke. “I’m certain of it, so I’m not searching in other places to form my opinion of him.” “He may not kill you for no reason, but I bet he’ll still kill you.” Cansu spoke. “I bet that if you went and asked him, he wouldn’t die for you. What kind of man wouldn’t die for a mother, when he himself had to experience life without one? He’s being cruel.” He didn’t move out of Asha’s way. “You can go around.” @Mads | Roman 🥁 Asha 🎆 ? 🪱

"You were literally talking about what he'd do to me if he was raised in whatever stupid country you're talking about, that's an alternate universe, because he wasn't." Asha continued to glare and kept walking forward, until she was face to face with Cansu. "And if you want to prove how much you love and support women or something, how about you move? It's the least you can do. You disgust me with how you talk about Kal and I's fight when it's none of you business, you stupid chicken." Asha said and put her arms on her hips. @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

“I’m sure he’s still capable of the harm that his father has done. It’s inside of him, there’s cruelty in that man, I’ve seen it, I’ve felt it. You may not believe it, but I’m closer to him than you think.” Cansu looked disgusted. “More than I’d like.” “I’m indifferent. I have neither preference for males or females,” Cansu shrugged. He flicked an almond into the air and caught it in his mouth. “As for your fight, it is my business, because that moron’s my business. I still believe that he won’t let you live.” @Mads | Roman 🥁 Asha 🎆 ? 🪱

"You need to stop talking about things you don't actually know about, you only met Kal last night. You spoke to him thinking that he was evil, you never gave him an honest chance." "And I don't care that you're bisexual, I said stay out of my business-" Asha threw her right hand forward suddenly and stopped it a mere inch from Cansu's face. There was sparks for a singular moment, before a giant BANG of light went off right in front of his eyes. It wouldn't leave permanent damage, but he'd definitely be blind for the next hour or so.. @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

“Bisexual? What-” Cansu hardly stumbled backwards as he was blinded. He dropped his bowl of nuts as he raised both hands to his eyes. “You bitch.” He seethed, rubbing his eyes in an attempt to clear his vision. @Mads | Roman 🥁 Asha 🎆 ? 🪱

"Bitch isn't a very feminist thing for you to say, Cansu." Asha chided and picked up one of the nuts from the ground that was resting on top of the pile. She loudly ate it and stepped past Cansu. Cansu's vision would not return, no matter how much he rubbed his eyes. His pupils would be shot from the sudden light. "Anyway, bye." Asha said and walked right on by him. @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

Cansu wasn’t sure where she was, but he still flicked her off as Asha walked. @Mads | Roman 🥁 Asha 🎆 ? 🪱

She wasn't even looking at him as she walked so she didn't see that.

@Aj | Invo + Ryunoske Cansu got blinded like the dum dum he is

Even after sinking into the shadows, Invo lurked around the square to look at the pretty green lights in the sky. He peeked up from the shadow of a lamp post, only then to spot a familiar looking God. And.. was he stumbling around? Invo watched for a minute or two, confused as to what Cansu was doing. @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟 (edited)

The deity looked pretty pathetic as he was walking around the area. Mumbling and cursing to himself, Cansu attempted to make his leave from the main square, only to constantly bump into things. The lamppost that Invo was close to was one that Cansu stepped into. His head bumped against it, causing Cansu to curse louder and rub his forehead. “Blasted pole-” Growling, he attempted to kick it. Of course, he missed. “DAMN IT.” @Aj | Invo + Ryunoske

Despite what Cansu had done to Invo only hours prior, he watched with a sense of amusement as Cansu bumbled around. It was only after the God failed to kick the lamp post did Invo act. From behind Cansu, the God would feel a sudden tug on his ankle, making him fall forward and onto the ground. 'Serves you right, blasted God,' Invo thought. @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

Landing on the ground roughly, the deity let out another sharp curse. “Blasted lamp post, you shall rue the day you were ever built!” As he pushed himself back onto his knees, he stilled. Ah, it made sense now that he wasn’t alone. It made sense as to who was with him. “Oh, it’s just you.” Cansu rolled his eyes as he got up to his feet. “It’s- Actually, I never got your name. You’re just that irrelevant.” @ajjjjjjjj [Cansu’s at 12 HP] (edited)

A brief wave of joy washed over Invo as he saw Cansu flail, but the moment he spoke again, Invo's gaze sharpened. "As I told you before, the only God I respect is the Great Hmarab. You don't need to know my name," Invo huffed. "Seems like someone has done something to you. Who did you piss off this time?" @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

“Good, keep it to yourself, I didn’t want to learn your name.” Cansu grumbled as he made an attempt to dust off his robes. “As for your question- That’s none of your concern.” @Aj | Invo + Ryunoske

Cansu would feel yet another thing at this ankle, but it didn't pull him down.. Not yet, at least. "Sounds to me like you don't want to admit someone got one over you," Invo snickered. "Let me guess, it was another human too, wasn't it? How sad," Invo hummed with an exaggerated note. @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

“It would be wise for you to bite your tongue,” Cansu seethed. He did his best to look in the direction Invo was in. “Do you need a reminder not to mess with me? I would gladly have a repeat of last time.” @Aj | Invo + Ryunoske

That just made Invo laugh even more. "I see whoever has done this to you has really quite pissed you off," and even with being blind, Cansu would be able to see the smirk on Invo's face. "I don't desire to fight with you again. Believe it or not, but I know when I am outmatched. I simply wanted to engage last time. Now, I am simply making fun of you." @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

Cansu wanted to bite back that Invo was pissing him off more, but he knew that’d likely make the bastard happy to hear. God, Cansu wanted to throw hands so badly. “The one who did this is as irrelevant as you. They’re lucky I let them leave without facing my wrath.” Cansu huffed. “Making fun of me will simply lead to engagement. Watch it.” @Aj | Invo + Ryunoske

"So.. you are saying they were stronger than you," Invo snickered. "Who would of guessed? The mighty God of Water and Lightning bested by.. eyesight," Invo mused with a chuckle. "Have you never heard of banter before? Surely even Gods like to chat amongst a crowd. I didn't come to fight, much less even talk to you, but I couldn't help it after seeing you be such a.. well, a fool in public." @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

“I let them leave, they didn’t best me.” Cansu growled. “I could part from this host and defeat them if I wanted to, but I let them off with a warning. You have been warned as well.” He crossed his arms over his chest. “I’m no fool. I’m certainly not one for ‘banter,’ either.” @Aj | Invo + Ryunoske

Invo hummed as he looked over Cansu and he folded his arms across his chest. "Speaking of your host, why are you sticking with it?" Invo asked, a hint of genuiene curiosity in his voice. "I heard from the Great Hmarab that you are at your best as a great bird of storms... You certainly are not a bird in your current state. If anything, I would say you are weaker in the human." @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

Cansu’s eyes narrowed. “My reasons for sticking with this host is none of your concern. It doesn’t involve you, your lesser deity, or anyone else.” @Aj | Invo + Ryunoske

Invo remained silent for a moment, but then a quiet chuckle escaped his lips. "I still won't allow the insult to the Great Hmarab... but I have a clue closer as to why you must be keeping the host around," Invo commented. "Cansu, Ruler of Storms, you are a God worth the rumors... but it's sad to see you locked into your current state. Much more so that you are now blinded by some force that even a mortal like myself can injure you..." @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

Lightning could be heard humming around the deity as a few small, harmless bolts radiated from his body. The deity was getting frustrated. “A clue, huh? Tell me, human, just why do you think I keep this host around?” Cansu glared. At least, he tried to glare in the direction Invo was in. “I don’t need your little comments about my state.” @Aj | Invo + Ryunoske

Even though Cansu wouldn't be able to see it, Invo relaxed his arms and began to gesture small signs as he spoke. "You are a God that benefits from your Host, and vice versa, despite whether you like it or not. That means whatever reason you two stay together, it helps you both," Invo started. "Your Bond is everlasting.. until death or release, I assume. You must be staying with your bonded in hopes of keeping either of you two stable. I believe the Great Hmarab told me that you Bonded Gods sense and see everything your human does. I am assuming something must of happened to your host, causing you to act in your own interest—Which is directly correlated to why you allow yourself to reside in him. Whatever happened must of negatively affected you both, and you have no choice but to remain with him. Am I close?" @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

The lightning around Cansu grew stronger. The deity huffed with annoyance. “What you speak of is exactly as you say: they’re assumptions. You can make all of the assumptions that you’d like, they don’t hold any truth to them.” The deity turned away, probably staring into the wall of a building. “You’re not correct about a single thing.” @Aj | Invo + Ryunoske

Invo spared the lightning a glance, squinting as the bright flashes flew by. They weren't nearly as pretty as the green lights. "You may deny it all you want... but Hosts are reliant on the God, and Gods are reliant on the host. Even the Great Hmarab follows the order. You must care to some degree over your host's well-being.. or maybe you seek to use it for your own need? Either way, you need him. And he needs you." @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

“What he needs isn’t important,” Cansu shrugged. “The fact is, I don’t care about this host, and the host doesn’t care for me, either. We don’t need each other. What I need is for you to stop speaking as though you know me.” @Aj | Invo + Ryunoske

That only made Invo smirk even more and he simply shrugged. "Very well, you may say whatever it is you like. Unless you tell me, I have no choice but to make these assumptions." @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

Cansu huffed. “Whatever I say won’t please you. You’ll just keep being annoying.” @Aj | Invo + Ryunoske

"Perhaps," Invo snickered. He winced slightly as the announcement played in their heads and he scoffed. "It's that idiot's turn, huh.." Invo grumbled. @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

Cansu's vision was beginning to return. He blinked a few times and grumbled. "I suppose that's something that we both agree on. He's an idiot." @Aj | Invo + Ryunoske

Invo raised a brow as he looked at Cansu. "You know that man?" @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

"Begrudgingly," Cansu sighed as he ran a hand through his hair. "He's a moron doomed for disaster." @Aj | Invo + Ryunoske

Invo hummed. "You are correct. We can agree on this, I suppose," Invo nodded. "..Are you going to go watch this fight?" @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

"I am," Cansu hummed. "I need to see what he's capable of, even if it's not much. Are you?" @Aj | Invo + Ryunoske

Invo thought about it for a moment, before shaking his head. "No. I'm not interested in whether that idiot dies or not. Go ahead an enjoy yourself," Invo said as he started to sink back into the shadows. @Vanessa | Cansu🐥+Evan🔩+Kal🌟

"I'll let you know if he does or not." Cansu hummed. With that, he made his leave. @Aj | Invo + Ryunoske
