<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hudson knew that all this wasn’t going to be a permanent fix that all being stuck on earth was just temporary. That they’ll figure out how to get back home soon. Back to the viel. That's what they were all hoping for. The viel was and always will be his home. Even after being back on earth again wasn’t going to change anything. He’d accepted it soon as he became an Aurazin that it was who he was. Finding that being an Aurazin, all the training he’s done as an empath so far has made him into a better person. That he was proud in a way of who he’d become and how far he has come. No longer this hot headed and reckless person who didn’t have his life figured out, who was still holding grudges to what happened in his childhood to the time he had died. None of that mattered any more. Dying and becoming an Aurazin changed that all. Giving him a clearer head who was to help those who like him. “I’ll figure it out. You don’t have to worry about me, I have a whole place full of other empthas and shepherds who I can help and lean on” He reassured looking over to his elder able to see that he was worrying for him that he’d do something reckless. Knowing on his sister she’d be there all happy and ethnusistic wanting to help him out. One of the upsides of being late to the party was that there were many others who he can learn from to help him find a balance. Hudson knew that he’d probably be needed with how he and Maddie were one of the newest Aurazin’s so they fitted right into the modern day. </span></p>

He’d always hated whenever they were apart. Being protective over his sister but she was the same to him. “My sister might not want to let me out of her sister after” He chuckled jokingly but it was possible knowing Maddie. Soon as he heard the word of sticky notes the Aurazin groaned a little. “You know she’s going to stick them everywhere” Pre Warning him for what was going to happen if you let Maddie in charge. It reminded him back to when he got his first apartment and his sister didn’t trust him to be able to survive on his own so she posted sticky notes on anything. Hudson soon left to go and find his sister who was waiting for him to come in. Finding himself being engulfed in a tight hug with Maddie not wanting to let go or let him out of his sister. The two of them caught up and she had forgiven and let him off the hook for not getting in touch. After they had their catch up he went back to Lucien who was waiting for him to get back. “Maddie was happy to see me, she looks happy here” Hudson came in happy relieved to see his happiness was all okay.</span></p> Lucien couldn't help but chuc…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-02-10:6610746:Comment:4247662021-02-10T21:48:13.550Z✓ Lucien Davenport ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/LucienDavenport
<p>Lucien couldn't help but chuckle and smile at Hudson as he made acquaintances with his new sleeping arrangements. What a far contradiction to how he was internally feeling, but he also didn't want to bring the mood down either.

<p>Lucien couldn't help but chuckle and smile at Hudson as he made acquaintances with his new sleeping arrangements. What a far contradiction to how he was internally feeling, but he also didn't want to bring the mood down either. Hudson could always roll with the punches and find his way through situations, so this was not surprising to see. Giving Hudson a reminder and curbing his enthusiasm wasn't what was needed now. There was already so much happening with them all and this new world they were living in unlike when their existence on this plane was much more direct and purposeful in their Aurazin form before the fall. This new sense of free will was overwhelming and they all had their own way of dealing with it. He was more concerned on how to get them all back to the veil and where they were meant to be. Things were out of balance in this way and the silence from above was deafening.</p>
<p>"Not to sound like a father, but more a friend with concern," he began, glancing from his glass of wine to his fellow Aurazin, "Please be careful. I know your heart wants to fall back into the norms of what your human life was before, possibly trying to find some balance between that and your duty as an Aurazin, whatever that may be now, but we still don't know what reason there was for falling to Earth in the first place." Luke looked to the wooden floor for a moment before sipping the wine again in thought. Trying to keep his tone light-hearted was the goal and he looked over and gave an easy smile to Hudson. The other fear that concerned him was for the human souls that were taken suddenly. If they didn't know of their passing and were sent into the void with no one to help them, they would fall victim to the voidlings who would show no mercy. What would happen to his own kind if they should end up dying again? They weren't exactly human.</p>

"Join me once you've settled and had some time to catch up with your sister. There are still many things I'm going to need some help with that I'm sure you'll be the perfect fit for," he said with some sarcasm. "Especially with all those modern day contraptions in the kitchen area. Your sister promised to put something called post-it notes on them to help us more ancient beings figure out how to use them." He gave a wink before finishing off the glass of wine and walking down the hallway where his once smile faded away. Walking passed the open doors of rooms, he caught the blurs of people still settling into their new spaces in his peripheral and could feel the waves of heightened auras. It was incredibly overwhelming and the weight of their predicament was once again pressing onto his shoulders with no sign of relief.</p> Hudson could see himself gett…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-02-03:6610746:Comment:4241842021-02-03T21:39:45.686Z✓ Hudson Luca Garciahttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/AliceS
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hudson could see himself getting used to all this. Like most people he’d always dreamed of having a bar right at home but if it was just him it would have been all a waste. Yet here there was a whole room with a bar in it with a seating area all for it too. Already able to see all the potential the whole log cabin had.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hudson could see himself getting used to all this. Like most people he’d always dreamed of having a bar right at home but if it was just him it would have been all a waste. Yet here there was a whole room with a bar in it with a seating area all for it too. Already able to see all the potential the whole log cabin had. That once they’ve settled in, it will be when they can start making improvements to it. Back when he was human he wasn’t too bad of a carpenter or handyman if he’d say so himself. Once he’d got himself a job hopefully at the fire station he’d be wanting to offer his spare hours to helping Lucien and the others out. That it was the least he could do. The Aurazin clinked his glass with his fellow mentor, both of them were toasting to the new beginnings before taking a sip of their drinks. The scotch tasted so much better than the stuff he was able to sneak off at the bar he’d worked in previously. It even beat to what he had when he was human. “Damn this stuff is good” He pointed out getting excited over scotch, not he was starting to wonder what else they had stored here. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Aurazin sat there sipping his scotch watching as Lucien was starting to try different types of wine. He smiled seeing how happy it was making Lucien seeing him experimenting almost having fun yet it was soon cut short. Being reminded that this all living here isn't permanent or so they were hoping for. Hudson knew that. “It can be a hobby then, you can order different bottles of wine then they can be delivered straight to your door” In the last few weeks he’d been trying to catch up with how things had changed in the short years since his death. Amazed to how easy everything all was now that you could get nearly anything you wanted. “I know you're busy trying to figure out a way to get home” Hudson wanted to show his support not wanting him to think he was being ignorant or forgetting it all. “If you need anything, I’m here. Aurazin or modern day related. I’m your guy” Showing his support, putting himself forwards like always.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/22ac2c255c97d29326afb4940f46fca0/14d73fb8080330a6-56/s400x600/48ae9dceffcd078906a682c3aa2aea8a5a822a54.gifv" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/22ac2c255c97d29326afb4940f46fca0/14d73fb8080330a6-56/s400x600/48ae9dceffcd078906a682c3aa2aea8a5a822a54.gifv?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-right"/></a>He was excited to see his sister not thinking he’d miss her so much but being apart like this for so long again reminded how close they were. He’d even miss her bossing him about. “She’d kill you keeping me from her any longer” Smirking a little teasing Lucien but he wasn’t lying either. Not wanting to be in Maddie’s wrath. Just as Lucien went ahead, he leaned over the bar grabbing a bottle of scotch that was left on the side. Quickly grabbing it along with the glass he’d be drinking for knowing that he’d need it with the long catch up that was incoming. Moments later he’d managed to catch up with Lucien since he was a quick walker and all. “The world is your oyster” For him it was only Firefighting but now there were more jobs out there, strange ones too. He couldn't laugh as Lucien spoke of learning to take a bus. Trying to picture him on public transportation. “Maybe try walking first then work your way to buses” Almost able to picture him getting lost easily let alone if he’d gotten himself onto a subway. Luckily there wasn’t one in the city. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bedrooms was something he wasn’t fussed about, he was thankful to be given one and not needing to share it with his sisters or someone else. “This looks great, just get a tv mounted up there and it’ll be perfect” Hudson grinned happily placing his glass and bottle on the side. His childlike self couldn’t help to see a new bed and not jump on it, so he went ahead running almost planting on the bed. “Yupp this bed will do” Quickly sitting up laughing to himself shaking his head knowing that he’d amuse Lucien at least. “I’ll go shopping in the next few days for some bits' ' Not minding the minimalist look, seeing how everyone else was already ahead of him having gone out getting new belongings. </span></p> Lucien poured the golden liqu…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-01-10:6610746:Comment:4235312021-01-10T01:13:30.888Z✓ Lucien Davenport ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/LucienDavenport
<p>Lucien poured the golden liquid into two of the glasses, taking one for himself. He lightly touched the rim of the glass to the other in a silent toast before taking a sip. It was nice and rich. Perhaps he would visit the bottle a bit later in the evening when it had quieted down some. He had a feeling he would need it more so than the wine.

<p>Lucien poured the golden liquid into two of the glasses, taking one for himself. He lightly touched the rim of the glass to the other in a silent toast before taking a sip. It was nice and rich. Perhaps he would visit the bottle a bit later in the evening when it had quieted down some. He had a feeling he would need it more so than the wine. His eyes glanced at the foreign label so he could remember its name and be sure to add it to the small bar that he would have in his office. Luke could guess that Hudson would be able to show him a lot of the better spirits out there in the world which could make a good addition to his study, though he wondered if the younger man wouldn't mind getting them for him. If he could avoid having to be behind the wheel of a car, the sentry would.</p>
<p>He placed the glass into the sink and washed it before trying the wine next. Swishing the drink around, he took a quick smell of its aroma before drinking it and was happy to find he took liked this one as well. The world certainly didn't change its need for good tasting spirits. That he was happy for. Swallowing a bit more, he chuckled at Hudson's suggestion of a new career path while on Earth. "I'm not so sure I'd find much fulfillment in that as tempting as it would be. Besides, my mind isn't on finding employment. Not when I have a responsibility to the others. Finding a way home is all that matters right now." No, he wasn't surprised that Hudson would make such a suggestion. Lucien knew well that he would be one of his kind that would find this second chance at life a gift. There was also the need to be able to take care of themselves. He couldn't exactly expect the Ailwards to constantly have to provide for them as much as they offered their help. </p>

"Come, let's find your sister and a room for you. It's cruel to have her waiting any longer to see you." Lucien led the way to one of the few staircases in the lodge to head to the upper floors where the rooms were. The Aurazin were still busy milling to and fro as they picked their rooms and settled in with their few belongings they'd acquired in the time they fell from the veil. "Perhaps a library or museum would be more suiting." Luke looked over his shoulder to Hudson as they continued walking. Should the day come when he would consider employment in this new world, it would be best he picked something appropriate that he would enjoy and actually know something about. It was far away in his mind, but he didn't want to make Hudson feel like his own personal choice to enjoy this new life were the wrong ones just because he himself didn't want to do anything but find out what had caused their expulsion in the first place and how they would return. "History suits me. Maybe I could be one of those tour guides. I'll have to start learning how to take the bus."</p>
<p>He stopped in front of one of the empty rooms and nodded towards it. "How about this one?" There was a desk, small couch, and queen sized bed inside, covered in the white sheets, followed by the bathroom near the door. "Not that it is much different from the other rooms anyway. They pretty much all look the same and the two suites are taken already." Luke took another sip of the wine with a chuckles and let his eyes scan the space. Truly they were luck to have such a place given that they'd fallen to this completely new existence with absolutely nothing at all.</p> Hudson could see this whole p…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2021-01-02:6610746:Comment:4228992021-01-02T15:28:33.342Z✓ Hudson Luca Garciahttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/AliceS
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hudson could see this whole place was all in good condition. Not knowing how long it’s been left untouched.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hudson could see this whole place was all in good condition. Not knowing how long it’s been left untouched. Seeing already how there were things thought could be updated, modernised. It just needs a good dusting but already livable. He could almost see his sister be quick to give the whole place the once over. With how he knew that Maddie loved to have things all clean and set out, then to her standards too. There were boxes that were cluttering the room, able to guess there’s many more to come. “This is much better than the place I was staying in back in England” Hudson joked softly, he had been staying in a rundown travelodge by the docks in London. It was the cheapest place he could find without it being a hostel. The only annoying part to it he had to commute into the center of the city for his work. He wasn't missing that for sure. “Have we got a tv yet?” Already listing things that were top of his priorities but he knew that it wouldn’t be one of Lucien’s able to guess that the older Aurazin would prefer a good old book rather than watching a football game on tv. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/4fc962088ce9ec532985f66d4e278dae/f32ea6627f5b7484-01/s540x810/77e7be912e9a5200d3d52a6d3fad060c2e7bbdde.gifv" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/4fc962088ce9ec532985f66d4e278dae/f32ea6627f5b7484-01/s540x810/77e7be912e9a5200d3d52a6d3fad060c2e7bbdde.gifv?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-right" width="292" height="216"/></a>He was hoping there would be some sort of stash of alcohol already in the place. Like many other people. “Lead the way” Hudson grinned, curious to see what Lucien had in store for him. Already to guess there was some fancy place in this place. Quickly getting up from the sofa he followed the fellow Aurazin through the place. Trying not to get lost on the way, with how he was still looking around the place. With how he still has yet to be given a proper tour. Soon they arrived in what looked like a dinning room as they got further in he could see what looked like a bar but it was all covered up. “I should have expected this place to have it’s own bar. Now you’ll know where to find me” Finding himself already right at home here almost forgetting about the veil was still their home whilst all this was only temporary. Or so he had thought not been given the full update yet how he was one of the late arrivals here. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“This place is full of surprises?” Trying to picture in his head what this place used to look like when it was last fully lived in. Hudson stood by the front of the bar, almost waiting to be served. Watching as Lucien went ahead searching behind the bar through what there was. Hudson couldn’t help to laugh seeing Lucien holding up different bottles of wine seeing how happy the Aurazin was. Then to how he was quick to see him grabbing something else. “I’ll start with a scotch first. Thanks. I’m not much of a wine drinker unless I’m having a big meal” He was never a big fan of wine unlike his sister. “Maybe it could be. I can see you being a wine</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">connoisseur” He smiled happily pushing him to go for what makes him happy. Not wanting to see him cooped up in his office being constantly worried for other people whilst everyone else is happy living their new lives. “I think my sister would need the whole bottle” Knowing that not even a glass would do to settle Maddie nerves and worries plus it could help trying to get back into her good books. </span></p> Wrapping the sheets up in a s…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2020-12-01:6610746:Comment:4220302020-12-01T16:18:48.319Z✓ Lucien Davenport ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/LucienDavenport

<p>Wrapping the sheets up in a somewhat decent fold that he could live with, Lucien placed it down on the sofa before doing the same with the other chair nearby. Seeing the state of the lodge in disarray was to be expected but it was hard for him to live around the disorganization. If there was one thing he needed above all, even with the chaos of his mind, organization was it. The storm that remained in his mind with everything going on now would be the only thing that would be a complete disasterous mess if he could help it. He figured keeping to his office would be the best course of action while everyone else began to settle in, making his anxiety for the commotion lessen.</p>
<p>"A drinks cart?" Luke questioned with a small smile as he looked to the fellow aurazin. "I can do you one better, my friend. Follow me." He folded his hands behind his back and led the way through the busy space and out a dining room before opening his arms wide to the introduction of something far better. They walked into what used to be the bar area for guests. There were several small tables and chairs that were still covered with the white sheets that were now familiar to them, but what was really important was the large bar that took up one side of the wall. The cubbies were void of the bottle of liquor he supposed used to be there when this place was open to the public, but it still was nice to know they would have a designated space to entertain and gather should his people want. He imagined they all needed to decompress a bit.</p>

He pulled open the flaps of the box and produced a bottle of red and white wine, standing up with a bright smile. "What's your palette feeling like today? I could go with a red myself." Luke looked at Hudson for a moment and raised a brow. "Though perhaps wine isn't really your thing." He bent down again and opened the small fridge which had a few beers inside, placing them up on top of the bar and then reaching into another of the boxes and lifting a bottle of scotch from it. "Will this do?"</p>
<p>Looking around, the sentry grabbed some of the glasses on the counter behind him and gave them a wash in the sink before placing them on the bartop in front of Hudson. "Perhaps this is my new calling," Lucien quipped, inserting the corkscrew into the bottle of wine. "These honestly aren't much different from what I used to use in my previous life," he noted with a small smirk. "Still ever as inconvenient though. Maybe you should bring a glass of wine to your sister so she won't have such a heart attack at finally seeing you."</p> Hudson has always lived in a…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2020-11-18:6610746:Comment:4212572020-11-18T14:33:14.624Z✓ Hudson Luca Garciahttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/AliceS

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hudson has always lived in a big city right in the heart of it. Used to see the large skyscrapers out of his window with the busy streets below. It was the same after he had moved to Los Angeles to become a firefighter. Never used to there being peace and quiet. Almost with nothing all around. It was why he was so taken aback when seeing with his own eyes where his new home was. Expecting for them to be in a place within the city but instead they were out in the sticks. Now thinking back he could see why Lucien and the other Ailwards chose for them to be further away. With how they were still one of the cities new cities. That's it’s better to have them further away. How Aurazin’s always liked to keep to themselves. Hudson was too distracted, caught in his own thoughts to see that Lucien already went ahead leaving him behind. He’d managed to job over to catch up with him within a few moments. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/8b08f7910044883880cb280ff75401f6/91ce0e5697bddf4f-47/s400x600/0646c06f24fc301dcadb33d0185307c3940b3c1a.gifv" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/8b08f7910044883880cb280ff75401f6/91ce0e5697bddf4f-47/s400x600/0646c06f24fc301dcadb33d0185307c3940b3c1a.gifv?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-right"/></a>He was relieved that he wasn’t going late not wanting to be the last one to move in. Yet he was known to always make a scene or stand out for some reason. Mostly back then it used to be his reckless ideas back when firefighting that would do the trick. “So I just have to hope all the good rooms aren’t taken, huh?” He chuckled, shaking his head still taking in the place as he followed Lucien’s lead. Looking around he could see some Aurazin’s walking in and out moving things all around. He couldn’t feel but worry for his sister. Feeling that he’s always had to worry for her now he knew he’d probably made it worse. “Maddie is always the first when it comes to anything” Pointing out to how his sister was always the planner and organsier, that he was sure she helped to figure out the whole movie. Hearing how Lucien spoke of Maddie staring out of the window waiting for him to come back , he couldn’t help to look worry. Blaming himself. “She’s been through a lot in her life, and now with everything on top going on. Don’t worry, she’s a strong person. She’s a surviver” Always speaking of his sister with admiration. Hudson knew that people choose to keep their own personal secrets to themselves only when they are ready they would open up. That for Maddie she still wasn’t ready. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Looking around he could see that the place wasn’t brand new but it wasn’t old as one would thing but white sheets covered a lot of the furniture. Luckily they didn’t have to buy much furniture. Hudson was hoping his room would be mostly furnished since he didn’t have much money to buy new things until he finds himself a job. Picking up some of the white sheets he helped to make the place feel full again. Yet he couldn’t help to cough feeling dust go back in his throat, he was sure he wasn’t the only one. “Home sweet home” Hudson grinned along with Lucien, he was happy he was finally back with his second family where he belongs. “Does this place have it’s own drinks cart yet?” He wondered looking around curiously, thinking a place like this would have one. Where people can help themself to a drink after a long day. “Or should I go and choose a room first before I get distracted?” Hudson chuckled softly knowing he was already getting himself distracted with other things that are less important. Knowing him he’d end up with the last pick if he doesn't get a move on. </span></p> Lucien let his hand glide sof…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2020-10-25:6610746:Comment:4194162020-10-25T03:53:10.700Z✓ Lucien Davenport ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/LucienDavenport

Of all the places they could've chosen to stay whilst they were on Earth, he couldn't imagine a better place. It was uncanny to the veil. When one finally was able to escape the darkness of the void, its beauty was the first thing that a soul would see. The endless green fields and rolling hills stretched on for an eternity of light as that was the epitome of the veil. Having the reminder here as their new home was comforting and he hoped the others would agree, but he supposed it could also make the yearning to return back to the veil that much more apparent as well. Regardless, it wasn't as if he could bring them all into the hub of a city again. It would be unimaginably difficult with the sensory overload and it wasn't as if finding a suitable place to live would be easy with so many people and no income to speak of. He would always be grateful to the Ailwards for their charity.</p>
<p>His head swiveled around as Hudson jogged closer, smirking as he watched the man's eyes widen and light up while taking in the property. "A few Aurazin began moving in early this morning," Luke began, nodding to the few cars and truck that were parked nearby, all loaners from the Ailwards. "There are plenty of rooms and then some, but the ones with the best views you might have to fight over." He let his tease hang in the air for a moment before chuckling and ascending the stairs. The heavy double wooden doors opened wide as people were busy moving back and forth while they settled into their new home. "I'm sure your sister will have found one of the best ones by now. She was one of the first here though I found her staring off through a window or nothing at all at times because she was so worried about you." It had been quite a few restless nights between Miss Garcia and himself. Sometimes they were both completely silent, but sitting in the same room for hours, just having the company between them as comfort from their daunting thoughts. </p>
<p>Luke's gaze fell on his office which was in view from the entrance. It was a space dedicated to himself and had bookcases lining three of the four walls. There was a large desk which he imagined would be where most of his time would be spent. His bedroom had barely anything in it and the only time he was ever there was to change his clothes or to sleep after waking up in the middle of the night at his desk. It was common for one of the others to come wandering into the office he was using at the manor to wake him and Luke imagined it wouldn't be any different now.</p>
<p>Whoever had owned the property beforehand had lost the financial obligation they were required. The details of the whole history about the place wasn't exactly clear to him, but most of the furnishings had been left when it was turned over to the state. It had sat here for years without anyone taking the place up again until Malva had done so for the Aurazin. He couldn't imagine the magic and not to mention money that was needed to even do so. They had plenty of debt to repay to the Ailwards. Luke's fingers wrapped onto one of the many white sheets that covered the furniture and pulled it away to reveal the chestnut brown leather sofa underneath which no doubt was a matching set to the one nearby which was also covered. The dust particles lifted into the air and were seen floating in the air thanks to the sun streaks coming into the many windows of the lodge. Lucien coughed lightly and chuckled, waving his hand in front of him to be rid of the dust.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hudson knew he was reckless at times or most of the time. One to jump in, rushing in like he usually does. Never thinking of the costs, always putting other people first rather than himself. Taking risks. His sister would always say he was reckless. At the beginning when he started out being a firefighter his captain had given him a few warnings to pull himself together. Before he would do something to endanger himself or his team. Finding he just had some growing up to do. One thing he never did have was a proper father figure. His father was no more than a person to him, just nothing. Hudson had no one to guide him at the start before he joined his first firefighting family, not used to other people looking out for him. Too busy putting others before himself. “I know Maddie is always telling me the same” Nodding his head listening to his mentor, Hudson knew Lucien was only trying to look out for him. He respected that, happy that others were wanting to look out for him. Hudson waited to see what Lucien thought he should do for a job, what next to do in this new life. His opinion still mattered for him. At the mention of going back to firefighting, he couldn’t help to grin. Hudson knew he was right that it was the path he should go back to. Before dying and becoming an empath, fire fighting was the only thing he loved. All that mattered and he felt he was able to feel that he was able to make a difference to help people. Now he knew he could do it in different ways for helping people. Hudson knew he could do both. </span></p>

I always have, I have to admit I have missed it. Back when I was going on different transfer flights to get back here. I stopped by LA, my old home. Don’t worry, no one saw me. I wasn’t going there to make my presence seen or known. I just wanted to see it one last time” He admitted, looking over to him to see how he would react. It was their golden rule to leave their old lives behind, and all those in it. Yet he was different, still able to have Maddie in his life. “Seeing there my old fireteam, the red firetruck. Hearing the sirens. Made me realise how much I miss it but I know I can make a difference here” Showing how much he cared and was passionate about the job and helping people. It probably made him one of the chosen people to become an Aurazin. How both him and Maddie came from similar backgrounds for helping people. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Aurazin was looking forward when he could explore the city after he’s all settled in and helped his people too. Hudson always did love to explore new cities, new surroundings. Something he would need to do if he was wanting to become a firefighter here. Back in LA he knew all the streets in his own distraction like the back of his hand. All the shortcuts to take. Hudson couldn’t help to laugh hearing his mentor speak of modern technology. How he knew it must be more strange for him especially. “Things are more advanced for sure. It’ll take you a while to adapt” Pointing out, remaining with him. Already able to guess that he’d be teaching him some things soon for sure. “There’s a YouTube video for anything these days, no more looking through a book or manual” He mused lovingly how easy everything was now, even part amazed how Lucien knew what YouTube was too. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Where their new home was away from the center city, deep in the mountains and hills. All was a lot different from the scenery that he was used to living near. Used to living in a center center, The noise of traffic and sirens was so normal for him but here there was nothing. Soon Hudson spotted a large log cabin that seemed far better ones than he’d ever seen. Able to know straight away that it's the one. “Damn, you’ve done good at getting us this place” Still in awe over the whole place. Not noticing his mentor already got out the car and was already making his way to the cabin. “Wait up” Soon getting out of the car, jogging over to him to catch up. Not talking matter of moments how long his legs were. His sister would often tease him of taking long strides whilst others took smaller steps. “It’s amazing, yeah it does feel like home” Feeling both happy and excited for it all. “So have people already started to call dibs on which room is which?” He wondered curiously, knowing he probably had the last pick. With how late he was coming compared to everyone else. Knowing on his sister she would have her room all finished by now. How Hudson knew his sister was a perfectionist like that. </span></p> Luke nodded silently for a th…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2020-09-27:6610746:Comment:4158722020-09-27T15:08:02.835Z✓ Lucien Davenport ~Admin~https://eternalcityrp.com/profile/LucienDavenport
<p>Luke nodded silently for a thoughtful moment, understanding that Hudson would always be Hudson. He was a dive in heads first kind of person and expecting him to easily adhere to the warning was easier said than done. "Then just try and think of me as the conscious on your shoulder. The excitement of being on Earth again can be detrimental and overwhelming. You know this. I don't have to give you the full lecture."

<p>Luke nodded silently for a thoughtful moment, understanding that Hudson would always be Hudson. He was a dive in heads first kind of person and expecting him to easily adhere to the warning was easier said than done. "Then just try and think of me as the conscious on your shoulder. The excitement of being on Earth again can be detrimental and overwhelming. You know this. I don't have to give you the full lecture." Lucien couldn't help but smirk a little though seeing the happy auras shifting around the empath next to him. Despite being worried for him and the others, Luke admired Hudson for his ability to adapt easily. "I say you go with the familiar, though. Go back to firefighting. It'll be an easier transition perhaps. Not that the job is by any means a simple day at the office. A position like that will certainly be making your empathy levels fluctuate on a dime to great extremes. So again, as the broken record I shall always remain, be careful, Hudson."</p>
<p>The sentry's eyes moved to the computer screen in the car which was giving out directions and then to the cell in his hand which was provided to him by the Ailwards. "This new age of technology is astounding, really." His fingers twirled the phone as he pondered how such a thing was even possible. A satellite from space being able to pinpoint your exact location on Earth while directing you to a destination? Sorcery, really. At least that's what the feeble minds of his era would've said. Science had always fascinated him, even when it was at an infancy in his first life. "I'm starting to better understand it. I watched a video on a YouTube." The car's computer gave Hudson the final direction which began to lead them off the beaten path and deeper through some woods. It finally opened up into the wide prairies that ran throughout most of the state and to the land that now belonged to them.</p>

Their new home sat far back from the road and was indeed the grand log cabin that was promised by the Ailwards. Watching from the distance that closed as Hudson drove closer, he could at least see the expressions of his people which were mostly optimistic than afraid. He supposed finally having a place of their own would help with this new adjustment they were all experiencing. </p>
<p>His feet touched the soft ground as he stood and closed the car door behind him. It really was a beautiful place they could call their own. The shortgrass blew in the breeze gently and a small ache in his chest burned as it felt much like the veil. Luke looked over to Hudson as he exited the car and then back to massive lodge. "Wonderful, isn't it? It'll easily fit all of us and definitely feels like a bit of home." </p>
