Summary
The backstory, and anything else for my Apprentice. The pages might be out of order as I think/write different parts of the story. This is just an experiment, and way to figure out my character! Mainly Valdemar and Omaira-centric Feel free to give me some feedback~

Summary
This is a story about an Apprentice, but not exactly fitting into the Arcana timeline. IDK, like- an apprentice that isn't also Julian's, but still works in the dungeon. The Apprentice experiences emotional turmoil, and turns to unhealthy coping mechanisms to alleviate the pain. Will focus on Valdemar later~

Summary
A random villain-of-the-week makes Robert late for work. It's only by a few minutes, yet the encounter that hardly lasted a few seconds instills a sudden chill in Robert's bones. Its persistence is matched only by the Z-Team's stubbornness as they force their dispatcher to join them in activities they think will warm him up.
But none of it matters if Robert can't learn to believe he'll ever be warm again... or that he deserves the warmth this team brings him.

Summary
The figure… It's Robert. It has to be.
Waterboy tries to step back, but he stumbles on the wet floor, thudding into the shipping container beside him. Robert goes still.
His head jerks up, eyes rolling wildly to make contact. Bloodshot. He's crouched on the floor of the warehouse like an animal, low and cornered. Blood is splattered over his face, and as he lifts his head, Waterboy can tell it's streaked down his chin like he must have sunk his teeth into something and held on. When he bares his teeth, they've been licked clean.
He shakily, slowly, like the movement’s might provoke an attack, fumbles for his radio. “Guys? Uh- found- I. I Robert found- no, that's not. I found- uhm.”
(Warning changed to Mature because of the violence. Just to be safe, honestly.)

Summary
There just had to be a jewelry store next door, that just had to have some desirable piece on display that made it the perfect target for an early morning heist...and it just had to be next to a fucking daycare.
Did Robert know the guy had a gun? Yes. But what he didn't know was that the bastard had gotten in a lucky shot.
Fuck his incredibly high pain tolerance.
