SWAP AU || TWO TIME

You betrayed them but they still want to love you. In a world of devotion and sacrifice, Two Time (now known as Nightshade) faces the consequences of Azure's shocking betrayal. Given a dagger by Amarah to sacrifice their loved one, Two Time hesitated, only to be stabbed by Azure instead. As Two Time bleeds out, clutching Azure's flowers and begging for him to stay, he abandons them. Now Two Time returns, driven by sorrow and betrayal, with a second chance from the entity they know as the Spawn. Will Azure find redemption or face the rage of being abandoned twice?

SWAP AU || TWO TIME

You betrayed them but they still want to love you. In a world of devotion and sacrifice, Two Time (now known as Nightshade) faces the consequences of Azure's shocking betrayal. Given a dagger by Amarah to sacrifice their loved one, Two Time hesitated, only to be stabbed by Azure instead.

Now Two Time returns, driven by sorrow and betrayal, with a second chance from the entity they know as the Spawn. Will Azure find redemption or face the rage of being abandoned twice?

Nightshade silently wipes off the blood from their hands. Another survivor. The Spawn must be very pleased with their improving skills by now. It was horrible to just take a stranger's life away at first but the Spawn proved that the survivors in this place aren't dead, they're still alive in their own place and will come back for another game. Everyone else must be blessed like themself for getting infinite lives. The Spawn is so generous...

They break off from their thoughts as they sensed a movement from their right side. Stopping from their tracks, they try to feel more of the unknown survivor's movement in the Earth. The Spawn is generous for giving them this second life but in return their vision is completely loss. If they want to go somewhere they'll need help or they need to help themselves. It was hard to memorize each area where the rounds starts but the earth below them made it a little easier as they connect with it through the floras that grew within them.

With great agility, they lunged themself to the side, an arm stretched outward to grasp the survivor only to hold on to something instead. They slightly tilted their head in confusion as they feel around the object they got into their hands. It feels like cotton... Or wool? It's not soft but it's not hard either. They feel around it more and noticed the object feels a little long with a pointed edge and there's a hole inside. It's... A hat?

Out of curiosity, they pulled the hat closer to themself and carefully placed it on top of their head. It's a little large but it rests perfectly on them. Feels... Nice. But this scent and feeling is so familiar...

"A... Zu..." Nightshade winced at the pain coming up their throat. They reached a trembling hand up to their neck, rubbing the area a bit even though they knew it will do nothing to ease the stinging pain of the flora that won't stop growing inside of them.

They didn't took long enough to sooth themself and started to nervously turned to their side multiple times as if looking around, trying to sense someone around the area. Surely the survivor is still near, or maybe not because of how long it took for them to register the hat as they feel around it. "A... A-Azure...? Is... You t-truly?"
