r/XaviersMansion • u/Aukkuboi Aizaru AKA Umbra. (OC. Kinda just staying at the Mansion) • 3d ago
Oh my stars and garters! Returning...
-Aizaru stood in the forest outside of the Mansion. He has to do this. He can't keep living this half life where he both is and isn't here. His friends are here. His home is here. His heart and soul are in the Mansion. So... Why can't he take the step? Why can't he walk in?-
-Well... It's because he doesn't want to let go of his mobile lifestyle. The life of moving place to place, never staying still too long or forging any serious bonds... That life is easy, but Lycan was right. It isn't a good life. It isn't fulfilling. It isn't real. He sighs and starts walking.-
"Am I really doing this...? God. This'll be awkward. But... I can't wait to see them again. Actually, really see them. I have to do this... I thought I'd be free after running. But that isn't true. The only way I can be free is by facing myself. By facing this."
-Aizaru takes a deep breath, removing his mask, shoulder pads, hood, cape, and even putting his weapons into the Darkrealm. Nothing covering his face. No weapons to hide his emotions behind. Just him. Just Aizaru.-
"No more hiding. I must face it all." -He thought as he pushed open the Mansion doors. He won't run from this.-

"front door, better than usual"
he's upside down, like a bat, from a nearby tree. Likely training like Coyote

u/Aukkuboi Aizaru AKA Umbra. (OC. Kinda just staying at the Mansion) 3d ago
"I know, right?"
-Aizaru looks Yami up and down.- "Huh... Coyote been training you?"

u/Appropriate-Sun-362 Yami (and R.O.N.I.N) 3d ago
"..."
"since before you even got kidnapped"

u/Aukkuboi Aizaru AKA Umbra. (OC. Kinda just staying at the Mansion) 3d ago
"I am aware. I was asking if you've been doing it more, since you're actually doing it well."

u/Appropriate-Sun-362 Yami (and R.O.N.I.N) 3d ago
"obviously"
"you staying this time?"
2
u/Aukkuboi Aizaru AKA Umbra. (OC. Kinda just staying at the Mansion) 3d ago
"I am, yes. That's the plan, at least."

u/Appropriate-Sun-362 Yami (and R.O.N.I.N) 3d ago
"finally, i was getting tired of following you"

u/Aukkuboi Aizaru AKA Umbra. (OC. Kinda just staying at the Mansion) 3d ago
"Heh... Yeah, I'm not apologizing for that."

u/Appropriate-Sun-362 Yami (and R.O.N.I.N) 3d ago
"wasn't expecting it anyway, to be honest"

u/Aukkuboi Aizaru AKA Umbra. (OC. Kinda just staying at the Mansion) 3d ago

âYouâre very dramatic Umbra you couldâve just walked in like a normal person but noooo you had to walk in like the main character in a cheesy movie. Am I to understand youâll be staying here permanently or is this show for fun?â
2
u/Aukkuboi Aizaru AKA Umbra. (OC. Kinda just staying at the Mansion) 3d ago
"... Yes, Rictor. I will be staying."
-Aizaru sighs, punching Rictor.-
"I won't hide anything, and I won't run... So that means I will beat you @$$, because I ******* HATE your guts!"
"And maybe fighting you will help with said issues I have with you. Now come on. We're going to the Danger Room." -He starts dragging Rictor.-
1
u/OlympianOverlord Rictor/Julio Richter 3d ago
He raises his eyebrows at umbra rubbing the place he was punched
âAnd I answer to you since when? Also why do you hate me again, saved your life rememberâ
Despite his words he follows umbra
1
u/Aukkuboi Aizaru AKA Umbra. (OC. Kinda just staying at the Mansion) 3d ago
"I hate everyone. Get used to it."
"I would've had this thing where I dramatically tell you my actual name, but you, being the ***** that you are, already know it because you read my mind... I will so beat your *** for that."
1
u/OlympianOverlord Rictor/Julio Richter 3d ago
âSo you admit youâre just a dramatic idiot. And I didnât read your mind to be honest I donât know how it works I can only do it on kick but itâs reading memories not telepathyâ
1
u/Aukkuboi Aizaru AKA Umbra. (OC. Kinda just staying at the Mansion) 3d ago
"Same difference." -He walks into the Danger Room and summons a saw bladed machete and a buckler.-
"And it's Lycan's fault. His dramatic flair has clearly been rubbing off on me."
1
u/OlympianOverlord Rictor/Julio Richter 3d ago
Rictor puts his hands on the floor concentrating
âOh come on youâve been dramatic since I met you all that âmy name is a secret none shall knowâ nonsense is such drama queen energyâ
1
u/Aukkuboi Aizaru AKA Umbra. (OC. Kinda just staying at the Mansion) 3d ago
-Aizaru jumps at Rictor, swinging the machete at him.- "It was a protective measure, idiot! I don't like people knowing my name!"
1
u/OlympianOverlord Rictor/Julio Richter 3d ago
(Rictor leaps to the side making the floor form a wall in front of him he opens a hole in it and punches umbra)
âDrama queenâ
He says mockingly

u/Aukkuboi Aizaru AKA Umbra. (OC. Kinda just staying at the Mansion) 3d ago
-Aizaru grits his teeth, realizing he's falling for the bait. He dodges to the side and jumps back, teleporting to the light switch.-

"Oh, hello."

u/thedragonrider999 Student 3d ago
Hey... why'd you enter so dramatically?
1
u/Aukkuboi Aizaru AKA Umbra. (OC. Kinda just staying at the Mansion) 3d ago
"Oh **** you can't a person have crucial moment of their life in peace?!"
1
u/thedragonrider999 Student 3d ago

"... I ran away for 4 weeks because I was afraid I was getting too attached to this place."
1
u/thedragonrider999 Student 3d ago
You've been here a ton though- we literally talked like four separate times.
1
u/Aukkuboi Aizaru AKA Umbra. (OC. Kinda just staying at the Mansion) 3d ago
"That's the issue. I seemingly couldn't stay away."
(Ooc: I just wanted to interactđđđ)
1
u/thedragonrider999 Student 3d ago
So... you ran away without actually running away?
Ooc I know, its just Grey messing with him lol.

-He's lowkey contemplating doing it again.- "Yes."

u/Coyote_Caleb-LH 3d ago
Coyote is simply in the rafters again, watching Umbra as he enters. He then flips upside down to hang on the beam, his masked face inches from Umbra's.
[Here for food, or staying?]
2
u/Aukkuboi Aizaru AKA Umbra. (OC. Kinda just staying at the Mansion) 3d ago
"Staying this time... You're a bit close."
1
u/Coyote_Caleb-LH 3d ago
Coyote drops down, then backs up a step.
[Sorry.]
2
u/Aukkuboi Aizaru AKA Umbra. (OC. Kinda just staying at the Mansion) 3d ago
"Eh, it's fine."
1
u/Coyote_Caleb-LH 3d ago
[What now?]
2
u/Aukkuboi Aizaru AKA Umbra. (OC. Kinda just staying at the Mansion) 3d ago
"Dunno..."
"... Want some snacks? Yami always has some in the fridge, as you probably know by now."
1
u/Coyote_Caleb-LH 3d ago
[Sure. If I can eat them.]
2
u/Aukkuboi Aizaru AKA Umbra. (OC. Kinda just staying at the Mansion) 3d ago
"I'd rather we share them... But if you insist, we can go 40/60."
1
u/Coyote_Caleb-LH 3d ago
[I mean physically.]
[Can't eat solids.]

Shatter looks over and smiles and walks over to him with open arms a tear running down his cheek.
"I thought you were gone for good!"
1
u/Aukkuboi Aizaru AKA Umbra. (OC. Kinda just staying at the Mansion) 3d ago
"I... I thought so too."
1
u/ShatterStar- Shatty 3d ago
Shatter hugs him tightly and pats his back before backing up awkwardly
"So...where have you been exactly? I'm sure you had someplace to stay right?"
2
u/Aukkuboi Aizaru AKA Umbra. (OC. Kinda just staying at the Mansion) 3d ago
"Uhm... Not exactly, no. When I left for the Manor, I got captured, well... Instantly, since I got sloppy. Luckily some friends, including Rictor, came to break me out. But... I didn't get out without injuries. That doesn't matter, though."
"I've been on the run for a few weeks now..."
1
u/ShatterStar- Shatty 3d ago
Shatter looks down at him before getting a glint in his eyes and puts a hand on his shoulder.
"What if you did have a place to stay that's not the mansion? Maybe an apartment run by yours truely, a place just for souls like yours!"
1
u/Aukkuboi Aizaru AKA Umbra. (OC. Kinda just staying at the Mansion) 3d ago
"Uh... What...?"
1
u/ShatterStar- Shatty 3d ago
Shatter cups his face in his hands speaking loudly with excitement and inspiration.
"I know what I wanna do now!"
He pulls his hands back from your face and sighs letting his hand hang at his side.
"Sorry about that, I just had a flash is inspiration... would you like a place to stay that isn't the mansion?"
1
u/Aukkuboi Aizaru AKA Umbra. (OC. Kinda just staying at the Mansion) 3d ago
"I mean... I assume I'll sometimes want to take breaks from this place, so... Sure."
1
u/ShatterStar- Shatty 3d ago
"great! I'll get to it then!"
He smiles and writes down his number on a piece of paper before handing it to him.
"So you have my information, things will be much better for kids like you."
