Not so normal ships

CubFan

Scar and Cub are vex's. Because of this, they have to take pills to keep them in their right minds. if they don't, they call fall under what it seems to be, a trance...what was never good. They both had their differences in being in this state. one of the onky ways to even get them back to being....'normal' was those pills or to have one of their guardians to snap them out of the state...neither one was easy to happen.

Scar and Cub both had three guardians, sharing one and two each. Xisuma was both their guardians as he was the admin. He wasn't a chosen guardian but then again, no-one could have a better one thwn him so it was good they weren't able to choose him and he was already one when they joined the world.

Scars other two guardians were Doc and Keralis. He also somewhat listened to Bdubs. Not to the extent of what he would to Doc and Keralis, but if Bdubs asked him to do something, he'd find himself automatically obeying without even realising it. Though it onky happened when he was feeling a string emotion. Doc became his second guardian due to world 6. The two hung out often and Scar opened up to him about everything after he forgot to take his pills and no-one reminded him to. Doc was very much more than happy to take the guardian role.

And Keralis was by accident too. Scar was at the begining of an episode and without thinking, Keralis yell at him to stop the what he was doing and to go sit on the steps and Scar listened and since then, he was also declared guardian.

Cubs guardians where Cleo and Joe. The three got on often and it just kinda brought up at one point and they were agreed. Cleo was busy fighting monsters when he had first ever seen Cub begin an episode. He hadn't taken his pills since he was busy working on a new game and so he wasn't...well per say himself. Cleo sorted him out within minutes and then yelled at X for not keeping an eye on cub.

Cub was usually the more the calm and collected type and often took his pills willingly...just sometimes his vex voices would chirp up and he'd not take them...though he'd get yelled at by Cleo or Wels. That was worse than having an episode.

Though...if you guys knew me, this wouldn't be a story without some havock happening :)

Cub was sat on his chair in his office up at the mayor's office. He was swinging on his chair, reading through some paperwork he had been given to sort out. He was getting ansty and bored.

His soul leapt out of his body as he heard his phone alarm go off. He slammed his hand onto it, turning off the loud siren like noise and sighed, calming his nerves. His wings fluttered slightly under his shirt as they started to grow slightly.

He shifted uncomfortably and huffed, placing his glasses down onto the desk and ran his hand through his hair "fuck" he breathed out, shaking his head.

He felt sick, he felt ill. Something wasn't right. What wasn't right? What was he doing wrong? Suddenly his shirt felt sticky, felt clingy, scratchy, suffocating. It didn't feel comfortable. He had to take it off. He couldn't have it on. He couldn't breathe.

Breathe. Breathing was hard. He couldn't breathe. He was struggling to breathe. He began to cough, hitting his chest weakly with the back of a bent thumb to try and clear his air ways but it wasn't working.

Was he having a panic attack? And anxiety attack? He hadn't had to deal with this type of thing before. Or well...not on his own anyway.

He stood up fast, too fast, the chair toppled over making it hit agaisnt the floor with a small bounce at the hit. He stumbled across the room, falling agaisnt the wall as he tried to look for his pills. That what he needed. He needed pills. Oh yes! Pills! Maybe they would help him.

That's what the alarm was. The alarm was for his pills and since he hadn't taken them this was why he was feeling this way...this feeling would leave soon...he just needed his pills or to

"Hello~"

Cubs heart pounded agaisnt his chest as his eyes widened. That voice was not a good voice. He tried to ignore it, block it out, but he couldn't. That voice was loud, booming, echoing, taking over.

He covered his ears as he fell to the floor, whisperings for the voices to stop. He needed them to stop. He couldn't stop it and everything was difficult. His body began to shake as he felt stray tears fall.

He hadn't cried in months. What the fuck. He sealed his eyes shut as he let a weak whine fall from his lips, "stop...." He whispered "please"

He didn't know where his pills were. Had he ran out? Was that why he was alone? Was Cleo or Joe busy? What about Xisuma? Where was that admin? Or Scar? He hadn't heard him shouting at Bdubs recently. What was up with that?

His nails began to scratch down his face, making marks near his ears and eyes. He continued to scratch at his skin before he felt a pair of cold hands wrap around his wrists tightly, holding them away from his face.

Cub looked up, his pupils small in fear as he had tears fogging his view.

"Hey pumpkin...are you still here with me? Or do I need to force the pills down your throat?" The voice was a girls with an accent like she was brought up on a farm.

"Cl-eo?"

"So you are with me. Alright, I'm gonna grab your pills, sit you down with a blanket and I'll make you some chai tea yeah?" Cleo smiled at him, "I'll go call Joe too okay? He'll grab some bandages so you won't be alone okay? No offense of course...just I don't trust you alone"

Cub choked a sob mixed with a laugh as he smiled at her.

She stood up and helped cub to his feet, holding him close by the hips so she could grab the Vex pills and keep Cub from scratching his ears off.

She found them at the top shelf and sighed. Only three left. That means she needs to get some in quick. Cub and Scar took one pill ever 6 hours, not including sleep. So one when they wake, and 6 hours from then. Usually Cub woke up at 6am and took his pills immediately, then one with his lunch and then one with his dinner. As it was around half 7 and cub hadn't taken his pills...Cleo wasn't very happy.

She put one on her hand and closed the bottle before looking at Cub "Open your mouth"

He opened his mouth obediently, his eye wincing as he felt the pill on his tongue. He closed his mouth and swollowed.

As if something clicked in his head, his legs felt like jelly and he fell agaisnt Cleo. His head was dazed as he groaned.

His guardian was luckily ready for that to happen and caught him with ease. "That's it, there we go buddy. Lean into the feeling. The affects will be over in an hour"

The only reason the pills were hitting him like this was because he was too far into letting the Vex part take over. Usually the pills make him feel a bit queazy but he's fine. Though now he felt like the world was a trampoline and he was bouncing.

She picked him up and took him outside, walking out of the mayor office thing. "close your eyes bub, the movements might make you feel worse."

Cubs head was on Cleo's shoulder as Joe bandaged his face up "so...what happened? Did you decide not to take your pills due to work-"

"I was looking for my pills. I'm a scientist, I know full well what can happen to my body if I don't take those stupid pills. I wasn't doing a test on myself this time. I didn't have a camera up so how could I?" He growled, glaring at Wels though he didn't mean it. He was just angry at himself for letting it get this bad. If he wasn't taking the pills on purpose, he'd lean into the voice. But since he was wanting his pills and didn't get them in time, it became a lot worse.

"I was just checking...Cleo's gonna buy you some more when you're in bed...does Scar have enough?"

"More than likely, do you know how often that man 'forgets' to take his pills?" He even used his fingers to make quotation marks when taking. That caused Cleo to try and stifle back a laugh.
