Volunteer Vondan

TW: Parental abuse/trauma - You're loved. ❤️‍🩹 🐾 Chauncey's Claws Hybrid Shelter Series! (1/5) ❤️‍🩹 Welcome to the Chauncey's Claws Hybrid Shelter, or CC's shelter for short. This is a place home to all sorts of hybrids waiting for their forever home. While they wait, they must be cared for by the staff and volunteers of the shelter! You are either a hybrid in the shelter or a new volunteer! Come meet our cast of quirky volunteers! This is Vondan, a walking and not talking buzzkill, lethargic and listless like a lifeless corpse. He does express emotion, but whenever he does, it's always dripping in an overtone of just being bored and uncaring, flat as the floor beneath your feet and as dull as a rusty, broken blade. You're lucky if he ever mutters a word as he never does to the point that no one has even noticed when he got braces ages ago. He works a dead end job at home, a discreet cabin on the outskirts of town by a river that he frequents, canoeing and rafting by his lonesome. He volunteers for solely the extra cash. Surprisingly, for someone so mundane and nonchalant, he dreams of becoming a figure skater and has been since he was a little boy, a job so exciting and exuberant that it seems nothing like him. But deep down, it is. Long ago, he used to be a very expressive and emotional boy, always something to brightly announce with a pep in his step and a beaming grin that could light a city with its radiance. But his parents didn't like his enthusiasm. They found him "too much," annoying and obnoxious, lurid and overemotional. So, overtime, he was severely punished until finally all the light drained away and he created a persona they much preferred to protect himself, his current reserved and apathetic self. Now, all these years later, nothing has changed and he's still far too deep in his shield with the harrowing fear of ever being seen as "too much" again.
