AU: Voidling

Context: Sabre actually takes a minute to look at his new Voidling look for the first time! ...He's not sure how he feels about it.

And yes he does get teased for getting spooked whenever he sees himself in a mirror for a while.

Also TW, uh- He's unsure of how his new form looks and has a feeling of his body not feeling like his? I dunno how to explain it that well but it might be upsetting to a few people, so watch out for that.

[Sabre's POV]

I didn't expect to be caught so off-guard by my reflection.

Orange had just brought me into the new Rainbow Hub, and said to go ahead and explore the house he made while he went to check on how his pigs were adjusting to their new pen. I was excited so I ran inside, but stopped in my tracks when I saw a mirror on the first floor.

It scared me.

Seeing my own body scared me.

I'm still wearing the outfit I decided to put on that morning I went to explore the woods. I still have my bag, and my green hoodie that I've had for years, and my blindfold is still covering my eyes. But everything else is so... different.

My skin has turned into a pattern that reminds me of the night sky, but it has some differences from it. I can see little "shooting stars" moving across it, too. My hair is wispy and a very dark blue.

I reach my hands up to the back of my head, untying my blindfold. When I look up again, staring into the mirror, I see that my eyes are mostly pure white now. There's just a vibrant green slit-shaped pupil instead of the dark green eyes I'm used to.

I take a step closer to the mirror and trace some features of my new face with my fingers, curious if it feels the same. It still looks like my face... but the changed skin and eyes are so jarring. All I can recognize is the shape of it. I never really put much thought into how different colors could make someone look so different.

It looks... beautiful, sure, but... I'm not sure if I like it or not. Am I... uncomfortable? Happy with it? It's not painful, but... is this a good thing?

"Sabre? You alright?"

I turn my head and see Orange looking at me from the doorway. He looks concerned.

"You, uh... just been here the whole time?" He says. "I couldn't hear if you were still in the house or not and you were gone for a while, so I got worried."

Have I really been in front of the mirror for so long?

"I'm... okay. I think." I reply. "I just... I hadn't really had the chance to... actually see what happened to me. Until now. It... changed a lot..."

I look back into the mirror, blindfold still clutched in one hand while I trace the edge of my face with the other.

...Am I even human anymore?

"Is... is it a good change?" Orange asks.

"...I don't know yet."
