Content warning: mentions someone almost getting hit by a car. failed kidnapping attempt mentioned.
Aria is a Half-Fae with a large mana pool and great affinity for magic. Aria lives in the Queendom of Roses which has more human than beast folk, merman or Fae around. This isn't mentioned in game but for this story majority of the Clock Town living here didn't have a considerable amount of magic/mana pool.
Basically, Aria lived in a place not brimming full of Fae magic and no one with considerable mana pools/magic to properly teach Aria proper control of her own magic.
Normally this isn't an issue for most kids. Since majority of them can barely use or access their magic at such a young age. A good example of this is Deuce who could only summon Cauldrons before attending NRC. Aria had a huge mana pool and could access it on instinct occasionally since she was 4 years old. Poor Ms. Whitecourt probably made raising Aria more stressful than she expected.
For both timelines it turns out it was easier to use magic teleportation to end up in another world more so than trying to use magic to leave one that possess no magic.
Aria's mana pool was diminished and drained upon walking up in another world. Without the means to replenish her magic regardless of sleep since the world started to suppress her magic the longer, she remained in this unfamiliar world. Aria got officially stuck in another world unable to return immediately after arrival.
For timeline two Aria got spooked and startled. Her reflexes sending her to another world via teleportation.
With no clear destination in mind upon teleporting she ended up somewhere she shouldn't have a place that was more of a challenge to leave rather than arrive at. Aria wakes up in the magic less world stuck until Night Raven College managed to send her back to twisted wonderland.
I think I figured out and decided what exactly spooked/startled Aria to the point of teleporting to a magicless world in timeline 2. I want it to be intense since the one for timeline 3 was also a bit of a panic teleport moment. It feels right that Aria teleport reflex/instinct usually doesn't go to the extreme extent of going off world unless its she feels like her life is in mortal danger.
For Timeline 2 Aria almost gets kidnapped around 14 years old. The culprits being other Clock Town Delinquents that rival/enemies of Deuce who just started his delinquent phase.
Aria was headed home alone at night when she encountered Deuce's enemies who was goanna hold her hostage or just take her away to beat her up as an send a message to Deuce and his gang to not mess with them and to get off 'their turf'. However, Aria managed to free herself and runs away. unfortunately, a member showed up around the corner in front of her and spooked her. She teleports away on instinct before the guy in front of Aria could grab her.
Deuce has no idea what happened to Aria she just went missing. there are rumors that a rival gang might've taken her, but that's just one of many rumors regarding Aria's disappearance. I haven't decided or come up with other rumors for this so far.
It would just make more sense to me. Instead of leaving it as, yeah somehow despite getting surprised spooked occasionally. Somehow this one time when Aria was already like 14 years old managed to send her to another world and not any of the many previous times.
Though maybe I could say that she did end up in other world before and the difference was this is the first time showing up in one that's magic less. The first time she couldn't just rest up and teleport back to Twisted wonderland on her own or with help from a magical resident of this other world.
For current timeline/timeline three. During their childhood, Aria and Deuce were playing around outside around the white rabbit festival hedges. Yumi approaches them and asked to play with them and even has a ball to play with. Aria and Deuce let her join them as they decided to toss the ball around between the 3 of them, changing who they threw the ball at next every so often. Eventually Yumi fails to catch the ball, and it rolls off. Yumi runs to get the ball with Aria close behind. Yumi runs into the street with a car approaching. Aria panics and manages to grab Yumi and on instinct teleports away to safety. The only problem left is they appear to be unable to return to twisted wonderland and is now separated from everyone else from Twisted wonderland.
Okay I'm absolutely raging and seething right now for a moment before crawling into sadness and despair.
I was typing a draft for so long and occasionally saved but then accidentally somehow lost the whole draft when I pressed saved once more.
So much writing just gone and I suck at remembering stuff. I dunno what I wrote for sure. I got a generalized idea but I loved what I had so much but now im forced to start again by scratch.
Maybe I need to take a break, but I was on a roll and I might lose this streak if I take the break. Ugh.
Y'know what this is why I probably have inspiration music for my OCS usually.
I'll take a break and when I'm ready, I'll listen to the music that should fire me back up into rewriting the draft I lost.
Hopefully that'll work.
People have written a lot of touchy-feely pieces on this subject but I thought I’d get right to the heart of the matter
I edited in a tad to mention in more detail how the girls ended up in another world outside of Twisted wonderland.
The rest is basically the same.
Aria Whitecourt and Yumi
Backstory of current timeline
Aria was born in the Queendom of Roses and her childhood was spent in clocktown. She lived alone with just her mother and they had relatives living nearby. She lived a block away from Deuce.
Ms. Whitecourt and Ms. Spade used to be coworkers for a bit before Aria's mom got another job nearby, but they still met up and had their kids play together as friends. So, Aria and Deuce were childhood friends. Aria is 2 years older than Deuce.
Sometime between ages 6-12 for Aria. With both Yumi and Deuce 2 years younger than her, at the White Rabbit festival. Yumi was running after a ball she dropped and almost got run over by a car. Aria managed to grab Yumi and teleported them away to safety. However the place they found themselves in was another world, one without magic.
Yumi just met Aria and was playing catch with Aria and Deuce right before the two of them both ended up in the magic less world unable to teleport back. Yumi teleported on instinct and upon arrival her magic was being suppress in this new world they found themselves at.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yumi is the same age as Deuce or a year younger than him.
She doesn't remember anything from before ending up in the magic less world as a child. So she has no memories of Twisted wonderland and if she has any it be vague and she thinks they were just fever dreams and denies them possibly being real.
Yumi doesn't believe in Arias stories of twisted wonderland. They are clearly just young Aria's exaggerated tall tales that Aria just won't move on from. There's no way she or Aria came from another world, let alone one with magic.
~~~~~~~~~
So both Yumi and Aria end up as orphans in the magic less world and stayed at the same orphanage during their childhood.
Yumi got adopted first by a kind loving family and has siblings (haven't decided fully on specifics for them, like are they older or younger than Yumi? and how many are there?).
Aria gets adopted year(s) later than Yumi by a sweet elderly couple who lives in the same neighborhood as Yumi. So, Aria & Yumi reunite as neighbors and even attended the same school tho Aria is a upperclassman to Yumi at the school they attend.
They either became friends before Yumi was adopted back at the orphanage or shortly after the two reunited.
Now a year or few months prior to ending back up on twisted wonderland again. The grandparents that are raising Aria passed away and Yumi's family has adopted her. Though Aria is still mourning and isn't feeling comfortable living with Yumi's family she feels like a burden and most importantly feels out of place and like she doesn't belong.
Basically Aria is still probably in the depression state of mourning over the elderly couple who took care of her not that long ago in her eyes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For waking up at NRC. Yumi and Aria wakeup during Ace & Deuce's entrance ceremony like in twisted wonderland game. However, Deuce won't be able to recognize Aria. She has changed enough appearance wise that it's reasonable to not recognize her at first glance, it was over 5 years ago.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now Aria and Yumi are both related to a Twisted wonderland character like in the twisted wonderland return home au's I've read and enjoyed immensely. However, i will not be revealing who they are related to you in this post.
never mind i found the draft i thought i lost. It accidentally posted but i didn't see or noticed it at first until after someone liked the post XD
so, i first copy what accidentally posted back into the drafts (and saved it) before deleting the one that accidentally got posted. imma save a backup on word document just in case.
At least i dont have to start over from scratch now. definitely need to take that break tho regardless.
Man the plot bunny is really at it in after part 1 of the nightmare.
So many interesting directions I could go for events occuring in response to the last paragraph in part 1.
Like what about the person who knock on Aria's door? Who was it? Why were they knocking at her door? What have they heard, if anything?
And then there's Aria.
Where did she end up? What area or situation did Aria teleport herself into?
Is Aria alone or not? Is she stuck at this new location?
So many entertaining ideas. My brain is very entertained with where I ended part 1.
I did have a specific scenario vaguely planned out before I started writing part 1. However I could have that be another night.
I mean who said Aria teleporting away after a nightmare was a one time thing. Obviously I'm not having my poor girl experience nightmares daily, but maybe once every two weeks max, however would like it be once every few months minimum.
I'll figure it out later, probably
For now I'll have fun daydreaming about Aria and the twst Bois for a while.
Maybe even throw a Yumi in the daydreaming as well.
The easiest way to find Sebek is to walk around the Night Raven campus, going "where's my Sebek?"
It elicits odd stares and plenty of snickers from the other students, but it gets the job done. You'll know when he's nearby. After repeating this phrase enough times and in multiple places around campus, you'll hear a familiar thundering cry.
"I am not your Sebek!"
The shout is eventually followed by the man himself. You can tell what direction he's in by the heavy stomps, thudding against the ground almost as loud as his voice. His frown is as sharp as his furrowed brows. The slight tinge of embarrassment colors his face.
"Human! How dare you..."
The familiar face makes you smile with joy. "There you are! There's my Sebek."
He falters. It's clear he has so much to say, but can't find the right words to get out first. They pile up in his mouth while he stammers. You fear you may have traumatized him until the verbal barrage bursts out like a dam.
"How dare you! You know I serve none other than the great heir to Briar Valley. To even imply that I am yours? A mere human's? Inconceivable! Your absurdity knows no bounds!"
He sounds as energetic as ever. You decide to interrupt the angry monologue before he really gets going.
"Sebek, I wanted to know if we're still having lunch together."
"To insult the very essence of my being! As if you..."
It takes a hot second for your inquiry to reach his ears, but when he catches it, the rambling drifts off. He grows oddly quiet. He balls his hands into fists and unclenches them several times in quick succession, testing the limits of his uniform gloves. This would already have delved into a physical fight if you were any other student.
Despite your inane actions, you're practically harmless. Any great guard should easily be able to ignore petty taunts. It's best to consider this a test. Sebek clears his throat.
"Of course we are. You didn't have to come find me just for that. I always keep my word." The redness of his ear tips peeking out from under his hair remind you of a Christmas tree.
"Great! Can't wait."
You stick out your hand for a parting high five. Sebek subverts expectations by grabbing your palm. His gloves are warm and a little sweaty after rushing to find you, and his grip is anything but soft in a boyish display of dominance.
"Do not do this again," he says. He's stern, but after that warning his voice drops to a normal level and he sounds almost gentle. "Just... text me, like a normal person. You have my number."
I think I changed my mind on posting one of the 3 posts I mentioned I'd post today. So yeah I might be done posting for tonight. Just wanted to keep ya informed.
Also you might've noticed how most of the posts the past few days being centered around my oc Aria.
I've just been in the zone for writing about my OC Aria specifically these past few days, that's why majority of the posts recently are about her.
It's also why I've been posting a lot lately but at the same time it's not much variety. I just was in the zone for writing a specific character.
Hopefully I'll get in the mood/zone to write like crazy for my other twisted wonderland ocs soon.
