+ molten maw
proof: YCHs
+ accessory (mask, same color as color, just covers their mouth. they don't wear it 100% of the time but will most likely wear it if they know other aurii will see them)

When Vanada woke up, they first noticed how strange their mouth felt. It wasn't unlike the feeling someone might get if their lips were a little chapped and remained closed for too long, giving them the sticky feeling and illusion of the mouth being adhered shut. They opened and closed their mouth a few times, trying to get rid of the feeling, but they quickly realized it wasn't going away. In fact, it was still there even when they kept their mouth open for a few moments, just testing it out.

Deciding there was one way to solve this mystery, they sleepily slithered from their cozy bed, shaking off any feeling of sleepiness that remained in them. They still appeared mopey, bags under their eyes and tiredness clinging to their form as they shuffled down the hallway in the Auribelle. Quite a few aurii stopped to look at them, and it wasn't very long before he noticed their looks were either ones of curiosity or fear.

He finally arrived at one of the bathrooms in the Auribelle after enduring strange gazes on his walk there. He hopped up onto one of the stepping stools, placing their front paws on the sink to peer into the mirror. Their eyes widened at what they saw - their mouth had turned into a series of dark spots on their face, and as their jaw slacked and fell open, goopy tendrils of - they-didn't-know-what connected their top jaw to their bottom.

They sharply inhaled, a strange feeling filling their chest. They'd never felt it before, but they understood what it was, sort of. Trepidation. They didn't often socialize with other aurii, but they didn't want others to be scared of them.

Vanada stared at their reflection for a moment longer before hopping down from the stool, quickly bounding back down the hallways, this time taking the longer way in the less-populated, dimmer halls. As soon as they arrived back at their room, they used their ears to dig through their drawers, which were still filled with leftovers from the last aurillion to live in it. Not many things were Vanada's personal items here, though they'd been living there for a while. They found a few things that might work - a scarf, a bandana, but these were things that they felt might fall off too easily, since they weren't the best at tying knots. They were discarded in a pile behind Vanada as things they couldn't use.

Finally, they withdrew a pack of surgical masks, which they supposed the old owner of the room might've used during a virus going around the Auribelle or something. It was open, and there were a few missing, but it would do for now until they could find something more permanent. They used their ears to slide the bands on, practically giving their own face a hug as their ear-fingers made sure that they were snuggly on beside the bases of their ears.

The awful disformity on their face was hidden for now.
