The past catches up

Van: *is in anty's clinic with vibes next to him, anty, rote, sally, and G* i....i think its time i told you guys about....where i came from. How i got here

*Anty nods*

Anty: Take your time Van, we're all here for you.

Van: well....the reason its all of you is....im not actually from Animal Kingdom. Im from a sister planet.....

*Vibes gasps*

Vibes: TWIST!

Sal: Vibes! Sorry Van, carry on.

Van: well.... everyone there also had powers to some degree. My d...Haseo Hikari..he was obsessed with how they worked. Was searching for a way to duplicate them or even steal i think...but he also searched for some kind of lost power.

*Sal nods*

Sal: Wow...what happened?

Van: ....i did. He met my mom tracking the blood line of the power and tricked her into a relationship... then i was born. At first i was only able to control shadows enough to make shadow puppet shows basically.....then.... *he grits his teeth*

Vibes: It's okay Van carry on

Van: my birthday....the day i wound up here....the bastard shows back up in our lives...attacks my friends.... *his body starts to steam with shadows as he gets angry* and....and right in front of me....he kills her....the bastard just kills my mother like its nothing! *the "steam" intensifies*

*Vibes holds Van*

Vibes: It's okay...You're safe here...

*he takes a deep breath* ...once that happened i lost it and everything went black...next thing i know i was in the park. I have no clue if my planet is even there now or....what happened after

*Anty smiles*

Anty: Thank you for sharing that with us Van. With regard to your planet, Rotecol can help with his tech.

Rote: its still a shot in the dark. Space isnt exactly small.

Van: its fine.....honestly i dont know if i want to find out....

*Vibes smiles*

Vibes: In the meantime, we're all here for you Van.

Van: *looks at the group*

*Sal nods*

Sal: I know how this stuff can mess you up!

Van: thanks guys.

*Vibes laughs*

Vibes: Okay, this session has been fun but I need some lunch!

Van: agreed. *gets up and helps vibes up*

LATER...

*Vibes is getting coffee with Van*

Vibes: So...you okay?

Van: better? Yes. Ok? I think its still a ways off. Been repressing that for a while

*Vibes nods*

Vibes: Sal was right, bottling that stuff up isn't good.

Van: i know. But sometimes even knowing its bad, you still cant stop it. *he eats a pastry*

*Vibes nods*

Vibes: But we all support each other, that's the deal.

Van: *nods* right. *he smiles and looks past vibes's shoulder before nearly choking on his cinnamon roll*
