^{☯ ☯ ☯ "Mulder?"}

^{The word was gentle, as if not to disturb a sleeping child. In this current moment in time, Cory fully believed that was what was required. Mulder's brain was probably functioning no more than a toddler as he aimlessly scraped away at the wall, confusion lapping at his now fragile form. His brain had been like glass, tumbling to its' demise upon the cold, unforgiving floor. Cory knew all too well how that must've felt, and as such, made an effort to take the pieces and mold them into a better version of what they had once been. He would tiptoe around the glass and stick the pieces together intricately, creating a swan out of what was once a dove.}

^{As the lion would approach, his head upheld with each step, his mouth slowly unhinged and gaped at the crimson liquid trickling down his nose. Cory would maneuver himself gently, as to not scare the smaller being. His eyes would trail among him for just a moment before he'd attempt to gently nudge Mulder away from the wall, placing his paws behind him to ensure he didn't fall. The lion would then sit, trying to analyze the Deputy's eyes for a sign of life, believing him to be zombie like.}

^{☯ ☯ ☯ (( tw for gore, TDLR at bottom ))}

^{When one is brought into the world, they are typically surrounded by a mass of loving people. Even on their dim days, these people are typically around for a majority of their lives. We worship the birthdays of those surrounding, celebrating another year of existence. When we are created, we are not given a say in our appearance, voice, or other key factors. We just simple are. Some of us lead strict, contained lives. Others, well, they go on to do whatever they please, good or bad. There's a certain freedom of that to be admired, something that tugs at the hearts of many that a plethora of people may eventually come to long for. The one common thing of every being on the Earth is that we all make mistakes. Mistakes are key parts of all of us, something that continually haunts the lot of us, lurking around each individual corner. Whether the mistake is insignificant and forgotten in days or life changing, we all have a list of acquired mistakes in our lifetime. If you think about it, there will always be something in our lives that we regret. It may have been something we said years ago or something that happened just mere hours before the pang of regret encases our beings. There is one thing for certain, however.}

^{Cory had made the biggest mistake of his entire life.}

^{It had been moments after the herb raid had occurred. A NPC had been nearby, screeching words of torment into the ears of the weary, wounded lion. Somehow, they had cracked the code of his deepest trigger, the sole word that sent Cory into a murderous rampage. As soon as it had been past his lips, Cory had found himself atop the enemy clanner, his claws barred and teeth sunk deeply into their flesh, tearing it into pieces easily. With each moment spend shredding away, his heart would drop further into his stomach. Murder had never been apart of his agenda, never a part of his heart would ever truly plead to harm another. In this moment, however, he felt his body screaming for reI..lease of a newfound anger that engulfed his deepest desperations. With blood trickling down his lips and paws, he would step back momentarily. A gentle wheeze would emit past his lips as he shook violently, shock pursuing him as he stared in regret.}

^{Then, that scream had appeared.}

^{Rage was still enthralling the large male as his head turned upon Georgie. He hadn't even had time to process the smaller mammal staring at him, a growl of disgust leaving him. It was then that the lion had carelessly dove atop of the peaceful being, his mighty paws pinning down the child-like Solaris member as he emitted cries of pain with each malicious touch upon his gentle flesh. A smirk of another kind, one that had never belong to him, would jolt downward suddenly, tearing a sizable hole in the midst of their neck. As he had done so, Cory had taken a step back, snapping out of his otherworldly trance just to let out a shaky cry of fear. As the male cried out, he took more steps back and attempted to understand the gravity of the situation he had placed himself into. Georgie was laying upon the ground, tears streaming down his cheeks as he stared intently back at the former medic. With this look burning a hole into his broken soul, Cory found himself trembling. His stomach was rocking like a boat upon a dizzy stream, whirring to and fro. The male took in a gulp, observing Georgie's final moments.}

^{He lay upon the ground ahead, his body emitting a couple pained twitches. Considering the area Cory had chosen to clamp his unforgiving jaws into, he wasn't left with much to vocalize his thoughts. The monkey was deadpan staring up at the Peacekeeper at this point, his eyes glazed over as Cory would finally get close. His head was dipped in sadness, almost as if he was attempting to offer some respect towards his mistake. With all his years as a medic, he was fully aware the wound was fatal. As such, his goal was to try to make his final moments less lonely. Tears were streaming gently down his face as he stood upon the nearly lifeless body, the horror of his mistakes encasing his body deeply. As Georgie would lay, the Exiler slowly entered submission, drooping his body down beside the monkey in sadness. Once he'd done this, he took the dying creature into his paws, pulling him close and crying into the child's fur with a newfound sadness. He had taken his first life, watching somebody slip away without care.}

^{But they were innocent.}

^{As Georgie would strain to look up, Cory sniffled between his shaky sobs. "I...oh fuck I'm so sorry....I know I don't know you, but I'm so sorry...." Georgie's heart rate began to slow, Cory noticing rather fast as he held the younger being close to his chest. "I didn't mean it...you tried to help us....I'm so fucking sorry..." A new source of chill was pulsating throughout the monkey's icy veins as his temperature dropped. "Please....I don't want you to die," he whispered, tears now coating the ground around them as Georgie's muscles began to give way to the depths of darkness. "I-I can fix this...I can! See, look..lookie buddy..you're gonna make it!" he reassured, pressing a ginger paw upon his neck as he sniffled deeply. He was aware his words would do no good, the blood trickle coming to a halt as Georgie finally went limp, indicating the loss of life. Cory would stop his sobs, realizing he couldn't stay here anymore. Regret panged throughout him as he stood, gently lowering the deceased clanner to the ground as he sniffled, nuzzling them gently and affectionately. It was with this that Cory would turn towards home and begin to dart, words lingering the air as he left.}

^{"I'm sorry, sweet boy."}

^{(( howdy, I was given permission by Georgie's roleplayer to powerplay his death!}

^{TLDR; so, Cory has a longterm plot that's uber complicated to explain and has murderous tendencies that are triggered by a word}

^{Georgie was in the wrong place at the wrong time and unfortunately was killed as a result}

^{Cory is gone now and it's not super likely it would be easy to discover it was him ))}

^{☯ ☯ ☯ Tremors.}

^{That's all the lion felt as he dashed into camp. His body was aching with a pain from a broken heart, his head lifted up as tears stained his cheeks. His mane was matted with crimson crystals, a mixture of his own blood and that of Georgie coating him. As he skidded throughout various places among the soil of The Exiles, his paws were torn and cracked. Blood pooled along his pads as he ushered himself forward against his body's wishes. Urgency enveloped every step he took, his brain fully relying on auto pilot until he reached his destination.}

^Tiziano.

^{The lion barged into his quarters, shaking horrendously. "Tiz!" he would holler, attempting to throw his bloodied form around the deputy in a deep hug. Shock was still setting in as he panicked, his breathing shallow and weak. Tears once more would appear on his face as he wheezed, slumping down among the ground as he sought comfort. "Tiz...I fucked up so bad with Solaris...god I fucked up," he'd finally wheeze, trying to catch his breath.}

^{(( Tiziano ))}

^{☯ ☯ ☯ As she perked up even more, the elder lion would allow a smirk to cross his tender lips. Her enthusiasm was endearing, especially at the compliment he had offered towards her moments prior. "Absolutely. I don't give compliments lightly, you'll come to see this soon enough," he would muse, attempting to nuzzle the smaller creature affectionately. It was within moments that he was bombarded by questions, a giggle spewing from his lips. "My father was....a well known man. Ace Rayan-Erebus. I don't know much of my mother, she dumped me here and left. My favorite food is probably rabbit, color orange....and my deepest desire?" he froze momentarily, pondering what to say. Then, it hit him.}

^{"Why, right now I'd say it's you."}

^{☯ ☯ ☯ The body heat that slowly drooped down beside him was his only reassurance as he lay, tears clouding his vision. As Tiziano would holler above him, clearly agitated, the lion couldn't contain a few whimpers. He hated being yelled at, especially by someone he had loved as dearly as Tiziano. As his head slowly rose to look at the higher up, a deep sniffle was drawn in as he shakily breathed.}

^{"Tiz...Tiz I killed someone...that monkey who tried to help us....I killed him, oh fuck Tiz I'm such an ass," he whimpered softly, dropping his head down again to sob harder.}

^{☯ ☯ ☯ Cory, too, had been on edge as of late. After ending the life of an innocent with his own two paws, the Exiler couldn't help but be weary. Every day he waited for someone to discover it had been him that caused havoc and ended the life of an undeserving, sweet being. Normally, Cory would've chastised Barghest for his behavior. This time was different as he approached, staring at the visitor for a few moments, not speaking as he awaited a response.}

^{☯ ☯ ☯ Though he didn't often attend, much rather host, parties, Cory was rather biased in his appreciation for such events. Often times they took a lot of effort to arrange, which the male came to enjoy. As he would trot nearby, the lion would slow his pace and attempt to nudge Ralph very gentle on the side as a matter of respect and affection. Then, he would seat himself beside the meal and lick his lips slowly.}

^{"Ralph, I'm very proud of you. This looks amazing," the Peacekeeper assured before allowing a musk rat to slide down his throat, actually admiring the taste with a grin.}

^{☯ ☯ ☯ Ciao? Cory wasn't much good with other languages. Admittedly, he knew and understood a bit of French, yet he didn't typically show it in these situations. Right now seemed like an okay time to impress a joiner, so he offered a hearty grin as he approached. "Bonjour, tu parles francais? Je m'appelle Corrupttimelines, bienvenue!" he would muse with joy inflicted in his tone, his voice rolling over the accents easily.}

^{☯ ☯ ☯ A light lull would coat the grounds of the Exiles by this point. Silence was amongst the clan as everybody lay in wait of morning, sharing memories and drinks with their friends. The stars cascaded above the lonely little canyon territory, swaddling them like a gentle hug. As everyone went along with their nights, trotting along with family and friends alike, a certain type of serenity could fill the minds of many. It was odd to see the clan so peaceful, so neat. Yet, one could possibly find reassurance in this event. Maybe they weren't a bunch of bloodthirsty savages after all.}

^{"PARTY TIME EXILERS!"}

^{Maybe we were wrong.}

^{As the lion stood, admiring his work from the side, a grin appeared on his maw. Tables made from slabs of stone were adorned with colorful blankets, a plethora of decorations, and some of the best food he could muster. Alcohol bottles sat upon a rock carefully placed on the center of the table, arranged in a circle of intoxication. Rabbits and mice, some charred from his lack of cooking abilities, were strewn into neat displays. Along the other side of the friendly Peacekeeper were a few activities for those who were much more tame. Children could play with little trinkets or make flower crowns while the adults enjoyed their night. The lion was very proud of what he'd accomplished, and as such, seated himself awaiting the guests.}

^{☯ ☯ ☯ At Naomi's call the lion rolled his eyes. He, too, was tired of fighting other people. All the Peacekeeper wanted was...well....some peace and quiet. Irregardless, he would trot over to defend Naomi, eyes narrowed to slits at those around him. The former medic would perch himself upon the ground, awaiting the next move of his opponents.}

^{☯ ☯ ☯ "Who?" the lion inquired, a bit sternly as he stared at the stranger intensely. He couldn't hurt anybody Kai could possibly be related to, so he kept his cool. The tawny male's head tilted slowly, awaiting a response.}

^{☯ ☯ ☯ Fortunately for the Hellraiser, Cory had become the one to stumble across the bottle. Eyes firmly locked on it, he sat, his head bobbing slowly as he dug a claw into the cork, finessing it out. His brain scattered for a moment as he absentmindedly poured the paper onto the ground before swiping it open and reading the scrawl.}

^{"Exilers! We've been invited to a party!"}

^{(( RADIOACTIVE   Tiziano   mulder ))}

^{☯ ☯ ☯ The time Nyria had been gone greatly afflicted the lion with sadness. It was as if he would never truly focus. Days before she had vanished into nothing momentarily, he had taunted her for looking out for him. The lion had gone so far to call her mom in a teasing manner, when truthfully that guidance should've been very well appreciated. That wasn't to say he took her heading words for granted, no. He just felt he could've been more serious about her warnings about his alcohol abuse,}

^{He took her for granted.}

^{As he would trot over mere seconds after they had finished healing her, the lion would sharply glance at Roy, feeling a tinge of jealousy that he had handled her wound. The former medic would seat himself beside Nyria and sigh, glancing over at her. "He's right, I'll be here every step of the way to help you regain your memories though," he muttered calmly and reassuringly.}

^{☯ ☯ ☯ A small grin would part upon Cory's lips as Tiny leapt upon his back, her paws gently kneading his mane like dough. His head would raise slightly at the apprentice, a giggle resounding throughout the mass of fur. Whilst atop his back, Tiny had accidentally reopened a wound that trickled ever so slightly in his mane, but with the festivities he didn't seem to mind. At her inquiry, the lion would offer a chuckle. "Anything you'd like here is good, though...I'd advise against the alcohol, little miss," he mused towards her, his eyes flickering as Jujube would appear, pouring three shot glasses full of the substance. His head would tilt slightly as he observed his clanmate downing the drink, a small grin appearing amongst his maw.}

^{With that, the lion would uptake the remaining two glasses and throw them back into his throat as Mulder approached. A giggle emitted from his throat as he poured some more, staring at the two of them contently. "Ready to get fucked, Mr. Deputy?" the lion would inquire jokingly, shifting a bit with Tinypaw resting upon him.}

^{☯ ☯ ☯ As Cory strolled into the party, he offered a big grin with a bottle of whiskey in his jaws. He supposed he was the first Exiler here, which gave him the ability to get himself acquainted with those surrounding. The Peacekeeper's eyes fluttered over the gathering group, his gaze suspended a tad from the party he'd thrown at home recently. It was then that he realized his crush was here, which made his face light up instantly. The lion made a move to place the whiskey down before scurrying over to the duo, clearly a bit shy.}

^{"Hey Twisty...and other Hellraiser. I'm Corrupttimelines, by the way. How are you two?" he would inquire, observing as Twistedtongue would inhale the alcohol's fumes generously.}

^{☯ ☯ ☯ The blonde boy would outstretch his arms as he stood outside his room, his shirt wrinkling in the process. As he glanced around he'd huff a bit, untying the hoodie from his waist and opting to pull it over his head, adjusting the strings as he did so. Cory sat along the wall, his chestnut eyes transfixed on the ground ahead as he let out a small chuckle, observing the critters below moving about. It was then that he'd make his way towards Barghest and Mulder's room, rapping his knuckles against the door.}

^{"Hey! You two awake?"}

^{☯ ☯ ☯ The bright meteors that lightened the sky soothed the Peacekeeper as he trotted near, a smile encasing his lips as he moved to sit. His head was tilted up to observe, joy filling him as he would do so. Cory was a sucker for the nighttime as it was, let alone with something so beautiful appearing from the comforts of his home. Mulder's amazement would simply fill the lion with even more joy, his original smile growing as he flicked an ear in contentment.}

^{"It's so pretty...."}
