The Knights Next Door

[Sherlock Holmes he/him]

Ax glared at Jason, then grabbed his hands and moved then out of the way. “I made you food.” He let go of Jace’s hands, then pointed at his mouth. “Kiss.”

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

He snorted. "You made everyone food- but you also helped with the fridge and didn't leave me to suffer the football teams wrath. But it's also public. Add together and divide by the number of dead people floating around the room and you get-" He pecked Ax's lips and grinned, "- that. You can have more later- right now I want food because I'm a teenager who is male. The void lives within me and demands I feed its hunger." He grinned.

[Sherlock Holmes he/him]

“Okay, then have some of the less hot ones,” Ax said, smiling from the peck.

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

He pumped his fist. "Heck yes! Where are they?" He grinned, looking around excitedly.

Since no one else has proposed a solution to how we're supposed to keep this hidden, I propose a blanket effect, possibly caused by an Unmade (although it would have to be one BIG Unmade, to cover the whole planet) that causes people to either ignore, forget, or rationalize the glowing people that they see fighting other slightly less glowing people with red eyes.

Draug slept in one of the empty rooms upstairs. It was a deep sleep, untroubled by dreams. He hadn't slept this well for years.

I have to go to bed, so Draug is going to sleep in.

Hey! That's actually an amazing idea! Maybe the Unmade of Oblivion*? Or Complacency? 

*Meaning that it makes people oblivious.

Actually that sounds pretty good, but it undermines the danger of being caught. Maybe it only works if the event doesn't escalate too much?

Edwin looked around, everyone had stuffed themselves with pancakes, and they were planning to go swimming. "We're gonna get some serious cramps because of this, aren't we?" He got up, put his dishes away and left the kitchen.

Do Radiants get cramps anyway? If not, my character is unexperienced enough not to know.

“On the counter,” Ax said, amused at his boyfriend’s enthusiasm.

Tyler cried in the corner.

 I think that if the Radiants could turn this over to the broader population in any way, they would. Having people aware of the Voidbringers could only work to their advantage from any perspective I can see.

Tyler cried in the corner.

After shoving a few pancakes in her mouth, Ruby notices that something was up with Ty. She approached him. "Hey, you okay?"

[little wheel he/him]

Tyler looked at her and mumbled out, "No...? Am I? Not sure. No."

[BringerofShadows she/her]

Dang it… Revel walked back into the kitchen, taking off her coat. 

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Tyler looked at her and mumbled out, "No...? Am I? Not sure. No."

Ruby smiled warmly. "Anything you want to get off your chest?"

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

He whooped, rushing to grab some and then pausing. "These aren't hurting me... It's so wonderful..." the began eating them, sniffing as he forced tears to form in his eyes. He was remarkably good at theatrics- he just didn't like performing in plays. It felt weird.

[Sherlock Holmes he/him]

Ax rolled his eyes at Jace. “You are ridiculous, but also adorable.”

[little wheel he/him]

Tyler shrugged and wiped off his face. "Well, my girlfriend threatened to dump me and my aunt threatened to kick me out if I didn't stop hanging around 'that big house', but I can't do that, so now I have to break up with my girlfriend and move out of the house I've lived in for the past twelve years."

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

He winked at him, making a tear appear under that eye as he squeezed out the water. It ran down his face as he pretended to revel in some heavenly light. "My life is once again complete. Can I have more?" He grinned, suddenly energetic again.

I’d help with Tyler’s thing, but Ax and Jace are in a different room.

Ruby frowned. "Well, couldn't you bring your girlfriend or your aunt over? Show them we aren't so bad? I mean, Ax has Jason over all the time."

[little wheel he/him]

"Well, Jason knows about this... stuff, but my aunt and girlfriend don't." Tyler said this like he was keeping something else back.

"And they wouldn't like it if they knew?"

Jason doesn't know about the Radiants, does he?

“Yes, you can have more, you overdramatic idiot,” Ax said.

EAT, Shamorck demanded. 

No, Ax thought back. I ate yesterday. Three whole pieces of pizza, and my lunch, and that apple. 

I’m going to think at Jason really hard to tell you to eat.

Nope, but they might think he does. He can see spren, but thinks they're just his imagination or dead people.
