Repayment of debt

Summary:

SWAP AU!! (First time, so don't except anything good)

A familiar face, standing across from him. Blood dripping down their tail and boney wings... How could he ever forget that face?

That smile—manic and crazed as it is—still belongs to them. To him. They're heading closer to him, they'll finally be with him once more.

Even like this, even as the poison continues to consume his beloved nightshade, their skin turning to a glistening purple with flowers blooming beneath their feet. He can't get enough. They are finally back, with him.

He won't let go a second time.

Chapter 1: The hunt

Notes:

Azure's haunted by his own decisions and the Spectre is amused... It seems like the killers are disturbed by something though.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

'Azure? My flower? What are you doing?'

The dagger drew closer and closer, a manic—desperate even, grin on his face.

'This is for us, my nightshade.'

'No no no, stop!' 

They yelled in terror, tears streaming down pale cheeks as they cried out in fear. 

I don't want to relieve this again.

They continued to back away, the flowers in their arms falling to the field below them. Their efforts were in vain though, he was always far stronger compared to their frail body.

I'm sorry, you didn't deserve this.

His dagger came down at them in one swift motion, hands pinning them to the flower beds as blood filled his vision, dripping down nearby petals like rainfall.

'The Spawn will be pleased. Your sacrifice won't be in vain, my nightshade.'

It was all a lie, they would never respawn.

Blood poured out of their gaping wound as they screamed in agony, the dagger twisting deeper into their heart. It hurts, so much.

'W-why...?'

Their voice was growing weaker, their body becoming pliant and limp in his arms.

'Beloved? My nightshade?'

'Two... Time..?'

Their body remained cold in his unflattering grip, their mouth formed to say their last words... Yet their voice has already been stolen. Darkness swallowed their body whole, the scene in front of him morphing.

Where it was once a field of nightshades, all he could see now was a pair of soulless eyes, blood flowing freely from their chest as their gaze pinned onto him.

'Traitor.'

'You killed me, for your own gain nonetheless.'

It was for the Spawn, you adored them more than I did.

'Was our love not enough? Had you felt the need to twist that dagger even after my body had grown cold?'

I'm sorry, just let me go. The guilt is consuming me.

'I despise people like you, Azurewrath.'

 


 

Azure woke up with a gasp, hands drenched with cold sweat as he abruptly sat up on his bed. Long hair falling down his face from the sudden movement, covering his vision as tears built up in the corner of his eyes. 'Two Time' Azure thought, his guilt seeping into every crevice in the room. ’I can't go on like this. Why must you continue to torture me?'

Suddenly, a sharp knock broke him out of his thoughts, the sound of impatient tapping on wooden floorboards resounding throughout the cabin. "Azure. What's taking you so long? Another round is starting." Had that much time passed? Their internal alarm clock has been messed up ever since they got into this realm, and worse of all? Other than that grandfather clock, he can’t tell the time! Seriously, it’s always evening here… At least the season’s change.

"I-i'll be ready soon, Noli! Just give me some time to get ready!" A sigh from behind his door was heard before the sounds of footsteps slowly faded away. Thankfully, most of the survivors knew that he often spaced out, often sending someone to wake him up just before rounds started.. Azure died a few times because of this, always getting damaged one way or another because he wasn’t in the correct mindset.

'I should actually get ready now, wouldn't want to keep the others waiting...' Azure thought begrudgingly, getting up from his bed as he dressed into his outfit for the day, giving his daily offerings to the Spawn. The cultist knew that the Spawn was a hoax.. But his dear nightshade was so devoted, he won't let go of something that his beloved adored so much. Everything his beloved enjoys? He’ll follow in their footsteps… Just like how they would follow in his.

Just as he finished praying, a bright light swallowed his surroundings, changing into Yorick's Resting Place. Azure roamed around quietly, fixing up a generator as he kept tabs on the other survivors health. Being the only healer wasn’t a good thing, it seems like only the adults are in this round… He can’t imagine why the Spectre would force literal children to play this sick game of theirs.

"Azureee, did you take care of yourself this week?" The voice beside him spoke, mouth a wide smile as they poked Azure. "I've been doing just fine, Timey. I'd prefer if you could keep a lookout for the killer though, Elliot's pizza cutter is quite the hassle to deal with." Azure smiled. He knew that he didn't deserve Two Time to be so kind to him, even if this was a mere hallucination... But he'd rather have this than the Two Time that haunts him in his dreams.

"If that's what you need, my flower— Ah, Jason is running here with the pizza worker chasing him." Azure turned around in an instant, eyes locked onto the two incoming figures, already reaching for a nightshade petal in his pouch as he crushed it in his palm, scattering it into the air. The now specks of poisonous nightshades whirling up into a circle, forming a fog of purple smoke.

"Me? Just a humble old botanist"

"A so called botanist with an intense love for flowers, never speaks about their past yet every action depends on it. They bear pouches of nightshade petals and seeds, assisting others with a gentle smile and a ghost that always lingers around them."

<Pre-Forsaken information>

Azure had joined the cult—Spawnism, at a young age, this is where he met Two Time. Both were romantic partners and had planned marriage once they were of age.

Their plans were disrupted however, when Azure was approached by Amarah that Two Time wished for a second life, but couldn't bear to sacrifice Azure as they were too 'pure' and 'good-hearted'. So, he was tasked to sacrifice Two Time instead, so they'd both gain their second life and be happy with the Spawn's guidance.

Yet, when Two Time didn't respawn, Azure had gone deranged and violent towards everyone. In a fit of anger and grief, he had poisoned the water supply via nightshade flowers to cause mass hallucinations before releasing a deadly poison gas to deprive the cultists of oxygen, leading to a slow and painful death in which he himself also died in.

<Post-Forsaken information>

They are never seen without the ghostfire dagger or his witch hat, is a gentle soul only towards those he trusts, is an absolute menace towards the killers.

He often brews tea containing healing herbs for the other survivors during breaks between rounds, known as one of the most friendly survivors alongside 1x1x1x1. Due to gardening so often, his body gradually became more and more stronger, hence his increased stats. Often gives the kids (C00lkidd, bluudud, and pr3typriincess) piggyback rides and plays tag with them.

Before Azure's mass massacre, he consumed nightshades on the daily despite knowing it's affects as he wished to hallucinate Two Time to be with him one more time. The Spectre, amused by this decision, changed it into one of Azure's passive abilities.

<Appearance>

A pale-skinned Robloxian with long black hair, fluffy but not unkempt. He often has the same outfit— Dark gray fingerless gloves, a sleeveless shirt that has the Spawn emblem which resembles his everyday wear before he got forsakened. A black belt around his trousers so he could hang Two Time's his dagger and other small packets of nightshade petals and seeds. He also wears a witch hat that is torn at the edges, oddly enough, it looks good on him. His boots are made of black leather which unfortunately makes rather loud movement noises whenever he moves... His other option is a pair of high heels though, a mere joke given to him by the Spectre. And sometimes? Just to confuse the killers, he wears them.

When Azure is in his second life, a pair of black wings grow from his back, tearing straight through his skin which causes a load of blood to flow out. The wings produce a liquid similar to tentacles, the wings act more like tentacles, like the Spectre is telling him he doesn't deserve something pure. His eyes glow a deep purple which often makes it easier for the killers to spot him.

<Gameplay>

Azure is a Sentinel and Support Survivor, often lending a helping hand to others yet dealing damage and stunning killers without hesitation. Azure's gameplay is to deal wide-range attacks when the killers are within a certain stud range. In order for them to plan ahead of time, their passive, A Ghost's reminders, allows them to scout the area and be notified of when the killers are nearby, this passive has no limitations. Azure is an all-rounder, sustaining himself with buffs and heals through their move-sets. Most survivors in this universe are powered up compared to the original universe due to the killers having shorter cooldowns yet more powerful moves. Blame the Spectre.

<Abilities>

Passive

A Ghost's Reminders

"You're following me around again, I miss you."

As mentioned earlier, Azure, having consumed a plentiful of nightshades before his death, was granted the passive of... hallucinating Two Time. This ghost is a manifestation of the Spectre's amusement and Azure's grief. Two Time is an entity that follows Azure's orders most of the time and is allowed to freely roam around the map without anyone being able to see them with the exception of Azure. Essentially, this passive allows Azure to 'spectate' in a round, no limitations whatsoever.

Oblation 

"The Spawn will be pleased Two Time."

Like in the original universe, the oblation bar fills up each time Azure stuns the killer. Landing a stab at the front fills 20% of the bar, landing a stab at the back fills 10% of the bar. Azure stabbed them straight in the heart, never hiding his intent. If the killer is stunned by the nightshade petals, the oblation bar will be filled 40%. If the killer destroys said nightshade petals, the oblation bar will decrease by 5%. Once the bar is filled completely, Azure will be revived and gain his second life. When this occurs, A Ghost's Reminders will be deactivated. Azure's second life will also be automatically activated upon LMS whether or not it is full or not. Azure will suffer Weakness II and Slowness I for 5s but gains Resistance I and Speed II for 3s.

Move-set 1

A Lover's Grief

"This dagger is yours, yet it's now in my hands."

Cooldown: 30s

Azure grips their dagger and lunges forward, he is however, not immune to attacks and if the killer reacts fast enough, can stun him. This ability offers different variations as he has the capabilities to do so.

If completed successfully, a front stab deals 20 damage and regenerates 20 health to Azure, a stab for a heal. This inflicts Weakness II for 6s and stuns the killer for 3s. If a back stab is dealt, Slowness II and Helpless I is inflicted for 2s each, dealing 10 damage and regenerating 10 health to Azure.

Move-set 2

Flower poison

"Aren't these nightshades beautiful, Two Time?"

Cooldown: 45s

Azure grabs nightshade petals from his pouch, crushing them in his fists as he scatters them in the air. This move takes 3s and has a specific stud radius. If a killer stumbles upon the specified radius, they will be inflicted with Helpless III and Dizziness III for 4s each. This move is instant, and remains for 15s.

If a survivor stumbles upon the patch, they will gain Speed II for 2s and be removed of any negative status effects. The flowers sure have its favorites. However, if the killer Two Time  stumbles upon the field, no effect will be applied.

Move-set 3

A flower's bloom

"C'mon Two Time! The flowers are going to  bloom soon!"

Cooldown:30s

Azure takes out a fully bloomed nightshade from his pockets and places it down on the ground beneath. This heals other survivors within the stud range for 2 health every 3s, it acts like Builderman's dispenser.

Survivors that are within 200 studs of Azure will have said nightshade flower highlighted, the flower will despawn after having healed 40hp. Only two of these fully bloomed flowers may exist in one round.

 


 

"Tch! Darn it-!" Elliot yelled out in frustration, clutching his head with the hand that didn't hold the pizza cutter with agony. "You— Stupid botanist!" Jason sighed in relief while Azure smiled menacingly, delivering a swift stab to Elliot before running away.

Once the both of them were in another area of the map, both survivors collapsed onto the floor, having ran out of stamina. "Goodness" Azure spoke, "Elliot seems to be more violent than usual this round."

Jason made a few hand signs—agreeing with Azure... Yet also angrily motioning to his injured arm, thankfully, Jason had already wrapped the wound in cloth so there wasn't any blood trail for Elliot to follow.

"O-oh! Right, here you go." Azure smiled sheepishly, grabbing a flower as he placed it onto the ground. Slowly, the wound on Jason's arm healed, skin patching skin. Jason made a few more hand signs, signaling a 'thank you'.

"We should probably get going... I'm sure 1x4 and Noli are going to be angered beyond belief if we don't fix up the generators." Jason nodded in agreement, getting up as the both of them started walking around the area.

Soon enough, they stumbled upon a generator and started to connect the wires. Jason being silent as ever while Azure chatted with Two Time. The other survivors have long known to just... Never to question Azure, he knows things he shouldn't know.

"Alright, seems like all the generators are finished." Azure grinned, though something tugged at him, Elliot is usually one of the more ruthless killers, so for him to not kill a single survivor this round? Something definitely is going on.
