Mother stands for comfort

Who: Luz and you (and specifically with Luca)
What: Luz tries to resist the hex, and not mutate herself until she finally falls to beast hood
When: Middle of February (sorry Luz, no birthday for you)
Where: All around Trench

She'd read the sermon and was sure that was when the trouble began. Luz had thought, after getting others who'd been sympathetic and lent an ear to her troubles, that she might be able to ride out the crazy of this month, that she'd get to her birthday in relative peace. Unfortunately, things didn't get better: instead, Luz found herself plagues by the past: her father leaving, the scorn of being that "weird" kid in her class, and the things that came with her Deerington and new Trench memories.

After Varian, Luz had been meticulous about trying to keep such thoughts from consuming her, trying to talk to others when she could, listening to advice and meditating more than she probably had any month. But the thoughts kept coming, and no matter what Luz did, she found she was feeling more depressed by the day, even though she interacted with people and did her best to keep her smile up.

And then one day, she found it was starting to feel worse than usual, enough that she even resorted to turning to her bird form if only to escape those memories. Now they were starting to compound, and images of the cave men and the Blood Cultists and their attacks on her began to plague her nightmares. It got so bad that she woke up feeling the cuts in her skin as clearly as she had back then, and she would be breathing hard and be so anxious she stayed in bed.

She had no idea how to stop this, and moments where she started to consider self-harm surfaced, shocking her so badly she took a cold bath, shivering and in tears, wondering what would happen next.

[Zib ended up in the forest today after hanging out with Luca earlier, now looking for a place that might be a good spot for digging downward--Sayo had given him an idea not that long ago about how if he wanted to build a portal similar to the one back home, he should find a spot in the ground sturdy enough that it won't get dislodged and knocked over like... well, like the buildings that got destroyed when Varian entered beast hood not long ago.

As such, he's not expecting the sight of Luz, or rather, the strange creature that suddenly comes out of the underbrush to this spot here, and at first, Zib doesn't realize who it is, not noticing the remains of Luz's hoodie at this distance.]


Is that... a Chupacabra? No, wait, they're usually a little different than this, at least in the pictures I've seen...

[When the creature charges at him, Zib glares as he drops his hood and allows two PAK cables to quickly snap outward to try to grab the creature and restrain it, before it can make contact with him.]

Nice try, but I'm not interested in being anyone's meal today. If you know what's good for you, back off or else.

[Although, there is a thought that occurs to him that he should study this creature, given that it is quite fascinating after all. Maybe he can still find a way to do so... dead or alive, depending on if this thing keeps trying to attack him, that is.]

[ooc: It might be best to start over fresh with a different thread? We can handwave this one if that makes things easier for you rather than coming back to tag this old one.]/small>
