Twistober Day 2: White Rabbit Fest!

Here's some fluffy Ace suffering! Inspired by @jetaimeazar's Ace comic of him getting abandoned.

Fair warning, though, yuusonas are included, but they aren't two important to the plot even though they are named in the story. Also, I play the En version, so if I make a mistake with the event continuity, oops! (I did watch the beginning of the event to see if there was any explanation for Ace not being present, but I didn't want to spoil the event for me later.)

Ace couldn't believe his eyes as he looked at Deuce's magicam.

Deuce invited Azalyn before him. He invited Grim before him. He invited Epel before him. He invited Orthro before him. He invited SILVER BEFORE HIM!

Since when was Sliver closer to Deuce before him?! Ace barely even recognized his upperclassmen from the photos and had to go to Cater to identify the vaguely familiar student. Cater didn't even know Silver by name and just called him "the handsome face in Lilia's dorm." Cater ended up messenging Lilia with the picture of Silver in the background, who responded quickly with the boy's name.

(Lilia seemed oddly interested in the fact that Cater found Silver "handsome," but when Cater replied, "I was only stating the obvious," Lilia appeared even more intrigued.

Ace sneakly dipped before he was stuck in the conversation for too long, though.)

Ace knew he made fun of Deuce often, but he didn't think Deuce would leave out of something like this. Ace lived in the same town as him, too! There were some people he would have liked to visit, Deuce. What did he do to get Deuce to hate him?

Ace couldn't even go to Fang to sulk because Fang immediately abandoned him for Ruggie! When Ace went to Ramshackle to look for Fang, there were only the ghosts who informed him that Fang went to Savanaclaw first thing that morning. He tried calling her but only got a text back saying to solve his relationship problems on his own.

Ace was wallowing in his boredom as he stewed over the fact that Deuce hated him. Why would he invite Epel over him otherwise? Epel was as scrawny as a twig and not nearly as funny as Ace was! Although, maybe he was being overly harsh on Epel...

Ace had known Deuce for at least twice as long as Deuce knew Epel, Ortho, and Sliver. What about them was better than him? He looked at the picture of Deuce with his arm wrapped Epel as they smiled for the camera. Since when we're they that close? Was he really that mean to Deuce? Was he really that distant that he didn't even notice when his best friends hated him? Was he really that replaceable?

Ace threw his phone across the room, which made his other roommates look at him if he was crazy. The phone landed on Duece's bed, and Ace begrudgingly got up to get his phone. He hated how the dorm room felt empty without Duece. Before Ace had the other first years to keep him company, but Epel, Azalyn, Grim, and Ortho went with Deuce, Fang would always choose Ruggie over him, Jack would either force Ace to workout with him or choose to hang out with Ruggie and Fang, and Sebek would never abandon Malleus if it was only Ace.

You know what, It's fine! He didn't need any of them! He would fill his time by himself, Ace thought as he went to the gym to practice shooting some hoops.

Cater and Trey looked at him, worried as he left the dorm.

...

Ace had a lovely weekend by himself by the time Duece and the rest of his group came home, he forgot that they were even gone. That's a lie, he missed them every second they were gone.

Ace avoided talking to the rest of the first years during classes. He noticed them look at him worried, but he ignored them. If they were too scared to talk to him, then he wouldn't talk to them!

By second period, Fang handed him a doodle with a worried chibi, asking him if he was on his man period. In between classes, Jack shot him a text saying that if he needed to talk, he could always listen. (Not that he was worried or anything!) Sebek declared that Ace was acting odd and demanded an explanation.

Okay, so maybe SOME of his friends cared. That was more than he could say for rest of the-

Ace looked at the intricate heart-shaped pocket watch in Duece's hands. He didn't want to admit it, but it was expertly made and honestly beautiful, although he'd die before saying that to Duece's face.

"It's because of your card suit!" Deuce clarified at Ace's embarrassed expression.

Ace quickly shot back, "I knew that! I'm not you."

"Well, good then!" Deuce stammered back.

The moment quickly ended when Azalyn, Fang, and Epel reminded them that lunch was almost ending. Azalyn happily handed Ace a pack of bunny decorated playing cards, stating that she found it behind some rose-bunny plushies for Malleus and knew it was perfect for him. Ortho slided him a bunny phone before hovering over to Idia’s iPad to excitedly tell him all the details of their trip. Even Silver quickly greeted them before going back to diligently guard Malleus.

Epel looked at Ace with a look that he couldn't distinguish before handing him a bunny keychain with a white poppy.

His friends didn't forget him.

𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝, 𝐡𝐚𝐲𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐭

FINALLY i'm writing about these boys overblotting! i wanted to make this post look similar to the first one, i included game osts that i chose as their overblot themes, i added song lyrics that fit them, but i also wrote post-overblot info for them!

as for my other ocs, i think i might write about angel and bunny's overblot in the future, but that's not something i want to focus on right now. I SHOULD FINISH WORKING ON VOICELINES AND LESSON CHATS HSDJSKSKLS

warnings for roland's overblot: yandere themes, mentions of a toxic relationship and eye injury

warnings for hayden's overblot: mentions of abusive family

warnings for riley's overblot: allen is just being a bad cousin. that's it.

roland's overblot

"her face was fucked up and my hands were bloody, we were in the playground, things were getting muddy, the teacher broke us up after i broke her, and my one true love called me "a monster"" - class fight by melanie martinez

(timeline info: this happened back when roland was a first-year, two years before twst's current plot starts happening. he was a nrc student back then)

roland doesn't like to talk about his past and for a good reason. roland always was a bit.. violent. he had a terrible personality: he was rude, aggressive, he didn't care about other people's opinions.. or did he? roland was always a troublemaker, teachers hated him and his classmates feared him. and then one day, he got accepted into nrc, which made him feel even better about himself, his talent got recognized by such a famous school! he will make his family proud! and of course, he got sorted into diasomnia, a perfect dorm for a powerful fae like roland. roland didn't care about making friends, but he did get attached to some of his dormmates. one of them was lilia, for some reason he kept trying to talk to roland and get him to open up. lilia believed that there was more to roland than meets the eye and he wanted to know the reason why roland keeps acting this way. roland's ex-girlfriend also was in the same dorm as him, she was a very sweet and kind girl, who genuinely wanted to know more about roland, perhaps she believed that she can "fix him". roland thought that she was interesting, not only because she wanted to become closer with him, but also because she was even more smart and talented than some of the dorm members and she was just a human. and yes, roland knows that it sounds cliche, but he really did start to fall in love with her. he liked spending time with her, listening to her talk and explain her interests to him. wow, this girl really likes gardening, huh? she wants to start a gardening club too.. roland says that it would be great, she smiles and says: "i'm glad you agree with me".

but sadly, love couldn't fix roland. it couldn't save him.

love made him worse.

roland started dating that girl. it was fun at first, but then roland started becoming more possessive, he didn't want her to talk to anyone but him. he just couldn't let her do that, what if she realizes that she actually doesn't like him that much? he wouldn't be surprised if that happened, there's no way such a sweet girl could fall in love with a guy like him.. wait, that sounds like he has a low self-esteem or something. his self-esteem is okay, it's great! it's just.. roland doesn't understand why she chose him. what did she see in roland? you know what, he doesn't care about it anymore, he doesn't need to know why she loves him, he just wants her to never leave him. he doesn't need to know the reason anymore.

roland started using his unique magic way too often, so that no one could see his girlfriend, hear her voice or touch her except him. his girlfriend wanted to talk to him about it, but she was too afraid. she loves him, she really does, if she mentions roland being too possessive, he will probably think that she hates him.. and then lilia notices that something is wrong. she tells him everything, she explains how roland's unique magic works, she says that she's very lucky to be talking with lilia right now, because roland could find her at any moment and use his magic again.

after that, lilia is the one having a talk with roland. he asks why roland is doing this and why roland treats his girlfriend like this. roland simply says that she knew what kind of person he is, so it's her fault for falling in love with someone like him. he wants to end this conversation and leave, but then he suddenly hears lilia say that he's disappointed in roland. lilia hoped that there really was more to him, that roland is actually a good guy, he's just misunderstood. lilia thought that if he starts dating this girl, roland will become a better person, but.. he was wrong. roland is just a scared, weak and pathetic guy who treats his girlfriend like his property, there's nothing more to him. lilia leaves and roland doesn't notice a smirk on his face. lilia knows that he pushed all the right buttons. roland should really start thinking about his behavior more..

wait, what do you mean, roland got into a fight with his girlfriend because he was mad at her for telling lilia the truth about their relationship? WAIT, HE ALSO GOT AN EYE INJURY FROM HER?

and of course, all of this leads to roland overblotting. he used his unique magic way too many times and he's definitely not feeling so good mentally.

"YOU! WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME? NO, ACTUALLY, HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME? i did everything i could to protect you, i just wanted you to be safe, you know how messed up some nrc students can be! and it looks like you might be one of those messed up ones. how could you hurt your dear boyfriend who loved you so much?? i listened to you ramble about your precious flowers, i even helped you take care of them, i supported you, i protected you from those who made fun of you AND THIS IS WHAT I GET? what should i do, what should i do.. oh, i know! i will make you regret falling in love with me and breaking my heart like this."

post-overblot info: roland ends up getting expelled from nrc for his behavior (let's just assume that nrc rules were more strict back then) and his family decides to send him to rsa, hoping that this way he will change and learn to be a better person. roland really does feel guilty for what he had done and he's okay with his girlfriend not forgiving him. lilia gives him a rose-shaped eyepatch as a "farewell gift" and roland is thankful to him. roland starts attending rsa, he gets sorted into apelcenois/wisbene/snow white dorm (credits to taruchi and aurora for the names!) and he starts feeling even worse because of how rsa students treat him. they don't trust him, they prefer to ignore him and they spread rumors about his past. however, it also motivates him to become more kind and caring and when he's a third-year, he decides to start a gardening club, just like his ex-girlfriend wanted to.. even though it's rsa and not nrc, haha.

hayden's overblot

"every time that i try to speak, it feels so calculated, if i say what i really mean, it's like you see me naked, not a word until i was three, the doctors were elated, thank god there was nothing wrong and everything's fine" - i need control by will jay

(timeline info: this would happen after allen's overblot and before riley's overblot)

just like his boyfriend allen, hayden has lots of issues. he comes from a family that worships less famous villains and they call them "the other seven". so yeah, his family is basically a cult. hayden always felt a connection between him and hans, who was one of the villains that this family admired. hayden always found him relatable, he even thought that they were way too similar and it can't be a coincidence. no one in this family was treated well, hayden's parents argued all the time, all children were regularly "punished" and their needs were ignored, often leaving them without food. however, hayden was definitely the "least favorite" family member. he was too weak, too soft, he was a coward who cried too often. his older brothers were treated much better and they were simply better people in general, they were smart, strong, good-looking and they had a lot of friends, some of them even got married and left the family (though it doesn't mean that they weren't under their influence anymore). it also doesn't help that all family members except hayden could hear "mysterious voices" in their heads and they were sure that these voices belonged to "the other seven". but hayden didn't have that ability. he couldn't hear any voices at all, so other family members decided that hayden doesn't deserve to talk to "the other seven" and those villains don't want to talk to him. hayden felt lost, he had no one to ask for help.

until he met angel and bunny.

angel and bunny were his only childhood friends and they understood him well. one day he told them everything about his family, which scared them a lot and they promised him that one day it will get better. however, angel also got a great idea for a coping mechanism that could help hayden get through this. they told hayden that he's actually much better than all of his family members and him not having an ability to hear voices actually means that he's much closer with the other seven than his family, they don't even need to talk to him, he already knows what they want! oh, hayden also thinks that he's similar to hans? well, what if he IS connected to hans? what if he's connected to one of the villains his family worships? how cool would that be? he just needs to make his family believe him, he needs to get proof and they will pay for everything they've done to him. but for now, hayden just needs to remember that he's more strong and he's more powerful than he thinks.

.. let's just say that angel's idea really did help hayden get through this, but it also turned him into a very, VERY bad person.

hayden's family decided to send him to nrc even though all of his brothers were homeschooled. they had two reasons for this: 1) they wanted to send someone to nrc so that he could make nrc students and staff forget about the great seven and 2) they were simply tired of hayden and they hated him so much that they couldn't let him stay. hayden got popular really fast, he knew what each student needs and he was able to give them that. he could be a good friend, a study partner, a loving boyfriend, he could be anything! okay barbie kin but even though he has so many friends now, hayden still doesn't feel anything. that's because hayden is only manipulating them, he's trying to be nice to them, he wants to use their trust so that it will be easier to make them worship the other sev- you know what, he actually doesn't want to make these students worship the other seven anymore. he's tired of doing everything his family wants.

he wants these students to worship him and only him.

that's what he deserves, right? angel told him that he deserves it and they encouraged his behavior! so he's not doing anything bad, he just wants people to be nice to him, that's all!.. huh.. he wants people to be nice to him? does it mean that he simply wants to be loved and respected and worship doesn't have to do anything with it?

no, no, that's not right. hayden deserves more than love and respect, he wants these people to bow down before him. that's what he deserves.

so, hayden is a third-year now. most students know him well and they trust him, so it shouldn't be hard to make his plan a reality. he manipulates all the dorm leaders, he becomes friends with all of them (even though leona is still suspicious of him) and he starts slowly convincing them that they're actually.. not that great. he starts breaking their already fragile self-esteems, he repeatedly tells them just how worthless and useless they really are and he even has proof. he also starts turning the dorm members against their leaders and he's really good at it. this guy even manages to manipulate some of the staff members! and of course, he starts dating allen, who looks and acts a lot like the princess of arendelle and hayden thinks that allen must be connected to anna in some way. and if he is, then hayden must use him too, that's what hans did with anna, right?

however, there's this small obstacle on this way and that obstacle is riley glacier, a freshman from savanaclaw. he's very understanding, very supportive and he doesn't try to become hayden's friend, he simply listens to him and says what he really thinks and.. hayden likes it. hayden likes to spend time with him. hehe, it would be nice if hayden had a little brother like riley..

but.. all good things must end one day. so there he is, surrounded by nrc students who feel angry, betrayed and simply lost. they ask what hayden wants and why is he doing all of this.

so, he gives them the answer.

"why am i doing this, huh.. well, maybe i'm doing this because i really am better than all of you? look at my grades, look at my reputation, i'm more smart, more talented, more powerful than all of you! i never was your friend OR boyfriend, i was using you all this time! i'm better than all of you and i want to be treated like the greatest nrc student! no, i actually want something more than that. i don't want to be associated with nrc at all. i want you all to treat me like a god, because that's what i deserve."

post-overblot info: wow, hayden, way to make the school hate you! haha did you get the reference yeah, no one wants to do anything with hayden anymore. he almost gets expelled because of how violent he got during his overblot and because of how he used not only students' trust, but also nrc staff's. hayden even says proudly that he's ready to leave this school, because he hated nrc all this time.. but then he has to face the reality. if he leaves this school, he will have to go back to his family. and they won't like the fact that he not only failed to make everyone at nrc worship the great seven, but he also got expelled. and hayden doesn't want to know what they will do to him. surprisingly, riley AND MERRILL (he thinks that him and hayden are quite similar and he also fought against him) protect hayden and ask crowley to let him stay. they tell him everything about his family situation and they say that if hayden goes back to them, he will most likely not make it out alive. crowley thinks about it and agrees to let hayden stay at nrc BECAUSE HE'S SO GRACIOUS and also if hayden hates nrc so much, you can count that as his punishment. hayden ends up leaving the octavinelle dorm because he doesn't want to be associated with the great seven in any way, but now he has to find a place to live. no, he doesn't want to join the ramshackle dorm, he knows they hate him and he doesn't like them as well. merrill lets hayden become his roommate (becoming a temporary ignihyde dorm member in a way until he finds a better shelter. WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT NOT WANTING TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE GREAT SEVEN, HAYDEN?) and he also makes a new uniform for him, using his old cosplay outfits, so that hayden won't have to wear nrc uniform anymore (it's painful for hayden to look at it). hayden feels much more comfortable in his new unique uniform and his behavior changes greatly: he's openly mean to everyone except merrill and riley. he can finally be himself, he doesn't have to pretend to be a completely different person, he doesn't have to get anyone's trust anymore. hayden is still not sure who he really is and what he likes, but.. maybe his future is more bright than he thinks.

riley's overblot

"oh, i swear my emotions are the enemy, be dead by now if I'd have done what they were telling me, whisper lies, but they sound like half-truths, confusing a sick mind isn't that hard to do" - curse or cure by icon for hire

(timeline info: this happens after both allen and hayden overblotting)

riley is a very strange boy, he knows that well. allen told him that many times before. he never shows his emotions, he's very quiet, he always has a bat with him and he doesn't understand how feelings work. also, he doesn't know ANYTHING about romance. but he's still a lot more popular than allen, people love him, people often send him love letters and confess their feelings to him. but he doesn't feel anything for them, so he rejects them. allen doesn't understand how riley can do that, why he's still not dating anyone when he's so loved??

the thing is that riley is actually full of feelings. he simply represses all of them and doesn't show them. why does he do that? you see, riley had a good reputation since he was a kid. his parents loved him and spoiled him, everyone wanted to be friends with him, some kids even had a crush on him. he was a nice and polite boy, who was good at sports, video games and some other things too, of course they'd love him! but riley actually hated being treated like this. he didn't want to be so popular, he wanted a calm and peaceful life, he didn't want to be anyone's idol. he wants to play in his room, but no, he has to come to this boy's birthday party, because if riley doesn't come, no one will. he wants to go somewhere alone, but no, these kids will follow him, because they think he's so cool. riley also hated the fact that every time he showed some kind of emotion, everyone thought that it was a really big deal. he's happy? everyone is happy for him! he's sad? everyone will go and beat up the person that made him sad! he's angry? everyone is so sorry, they'll understand if riley doesn't forgive them!

this is why riley doesn't like showing his emotions. he doesn't want people react to it like that. he doesn't want people to pay any attention to him. he's fine being alone, really, he likes being alone! he's not his cousin, he doesn't like having so many fans and admirers! if only allen had such a reputation, he really deserves it more..

that's weird, why people hate allen so much even if allen is so normal compared to riley? allen is such a creative and emotional person, riley respects him so much! allen is so smart too, he knows so much about love and romance! but why allen is still single? why allen still doesn't have any friends?

why people are so cruel to allen? they should be cruel to riley instead.

riley deserves it more than allen. riley is weird, he doesn't show any emotions, he can't be a good friend, he can't be a good partner, he will never be able to support others because of him not being able to feel anything. he doesn't remember feeling any emotions lately because he's so used to repressing them and ignoring them.

riley wants people to love allen. forget about him, pay attention to allen instead! just leave him alone, okay? he won't mind, riley likes being alone! he deserves being alone, he's not that special.

but why does everyone still hate allen? wait, ALLEN ACTUALLY OVERBLOTTED BECAUSE OF PEOPLE HATING HIM? that's it, they've crossed the line. riley is here to remind them that he still has his bat. and he's also here to remind them that his unique magic is really powerful, he can make anyone feel any emotion that he's feeling at the moment.

he will make them hate themselves for what they've done to allen. he will make them cry because of what they've done, he will make them feel disgusted with themselves, he will make them feel happy because they have allen in their lives. he's doing all of this for allen, he's such a good cous-

huh?.. why did allen slap him right now?

yes, allen, he knows that he's not normal and he will never be able to become normal. yes, he knows that he's annoying. yes, he knows that he's a bad cousin. yes, he knows that allen hates him.

.. you hate him, allen? after all he has done for you? AFTER ALL OF HIS ATTEMPTS TO PROTECT YOU AND MAKE PEOPLE CARE ABOUT YOU?

that's it, allen. he's done being a good cousin.

"yes, allen, i'm your emotionless little cousin. i never show my feelings, actually, i'm not sure if i even feel anything. but i know that what i felt for you was a desire to protect you from anything bad. you've already went through a lot, you lost your friend, you had to go through all of this alone. i wanted to support you, i really did, i wanted to become someone that you could depend on. but you've decided to push me away, allen. just like you were pushed away before. i'm sorry, allen, i really am. i'm sorry for not understanding you and being so annoying. i didn't know that you actually like being alone and being hated by everyone!~ now, let me show you how i really feel."

post-overblot info: riley really is done being a good cousin and he prefers to ignore allen and he doesn't hang out with him anymore. he doesn't ruin his dates anymore, he doesn't annoy him with questions about romance, allen is free to do whatever he wants. meanwhile riley slowly learns to express his emotions more freely and he starts to appreciate being popular and surrounded by people who love him and care about him. he still wishes the best for allen, but he also doesn't want to be friends with him anymore. riley has hayden now and he likes him a lot more!
