Ok. So, Jevin didn't always used to be the "normal" man he is today.

He was once a beautiful bear woman. A woman named Jasmine, born into a heavily religious family. This... Religion.. clearly wasn't normal. Usually, in a normally governed area, the religion would be shunned, some even locked up for the fucked up following, but in the space they were in, it was rather easy to get away with that kind of thing.

When Jasmine was fifteen, she met the love of her life, a farmer boy from just a forest over. That boy's name was Tunnovan Westwood, or as we know him today, Sheriff Tunner.

Tunner was told every last secret from the girl. Her dark deeds, her family, hell, even her views on her beliefs... But there was also a confession. A confession of wanting to change. Jasmine didn't want to be who she was.

Tunner, despite being told things that would horrify any normal man into running off, stayed and comforted her. Even encouraged the change.

Jasmine's family, however, saw this as a challenge to the Lord. Believing Jasmine was possessed by a deceased heretic, they decided she'd be the subject of next week's beheading.

She ran off and tried to find Tunner, but instead of finding her love, all there was in his place was a looming presence. Soon, a small crow flew down onto her shoulder, whispering promises of bringing her back after her execution. All he needed was to have her full devotion afterwards. Jasmine agrees, of course, but also asks for a simple change.

"I want to come back a man."

And so, the day had arrived, she was strapped to the guillotine.

Tunner, having not seen Jasmine in the woods, ventured to the town, only to see the exact moment the blade came down. He ran off in shock.

Soon after her death, the crow returned, drinking up the blood of the beheaded girl and suddenly shifting into a more sprunkoid form. As promised, he sewed the girl's head back, changing her body. No longer was she Jasmine, but Jevin.

His bear ears became horns. The tail he once used for emotion became wings. Of course, the crow had to gift him a few extra powers for the road.

Once Jevin arose from his slumber, only then did the crow introduce itself as Dusk.

For years, Jevin and Dusk roamed, the crow over his shoulder and teaching the man about his powers. How to harness and manipulate them for "The prophecy".

Jevin, one day, stumbled upon the town of Maliki, full of Sprunki, the only real authority seemingly just the Sheriff outside. Jevin recognized his face. His voice. His name, even. But Tunner had no clue.

They bonded again over time.

Jevin started to defy the crow.

Then came the day of the prophecy. Jevin attempted to fight back, but instead, a mask not unlike Dusk's was forced upon his face.

"This is Garnold Quartz, and the date is May 1st, 1991. I am building a robot of sorts for my end of year college project. I am required to log each day that I make significant progress, with a minimum of 5. I've decided to do audio logs, as it's easier to remember to do then to write everything down and potentially lose everything... I've also just been doing this as a diary of sorts, so I remember very easily."

"I have made a rough blueprint of what I want to make. This robot will be nothing like anything anyone has ever seen before. It'll be able to walk and talk, It'll make music like a regular sprunki, It'll be able to dance. I'm naming this project Funbot. My boyfriend, Clunkr, came up with the name... Anyway, I don't have anything more to say. That's all for now. End message."

*brrzzzt*

Clukr and Garnold had lived in the same town all their lives but only met when they had turned 19 .

Clukr was working at a local electronics store when Garnold came in to purchase a few parts for a project . Interest peaked , Clukr inquired what the project Was , and Garnold dismissively claimed he was just building a silly little computer . Clukr , intrigued , proceeded to ask questions , to which Garnold was floored . No one had ever shown such an interest in his projects before .

The two hit it off very well , talking for a little too long as Garnold held up the line to the register . He quietly slipped his number to Clukr as he paid for the parts to his computer and swiftly scrambled out of the place . Clukr shot Garnold a text at his first available moment .

Before he knew it , he was invited over to Garnold's place . Garnold would go over his project with him . He was attempting to build a computer that worked faster and better than the ones on the market . Clukr was heavily intrigued by such an ambitious project that he offered his assistance .

They would spend days in Garnold's room working on the computer , Clukr would come over right when he was let off work , and only end up leaving whenever Garnold's parents dropped in to say it was getting too late for their guest to stick around any longer . Garnold would always quietly fold to the words of his parents and reluctantly see Clukr out .

“My mom and pop , they aren't like me .” Garnold would lament one day , as he was out with Clukr .

“They don't see me for who I am . Not like you do . Hell , you're the first person in this town who's seen past the surface and just . Accepted me .”

Clukr would sigh , digging his hands into his pockets .

“Yeah I was getting the feeling your parents were a little . Ugh . They don't call you by your name and they seem to brush off your projects as a waste of time .”

“They don't like folks like me . And they can't acknowledge that I'm something different from them .” Garnold would sigh . “I'm really glad I ran into ya . . . It's nice having at least one person in town who sees me . Who knows me . Who . . . Cares about me .”

Clukr would lift a hand , taking one of Garnold's into his .

“I'll always care for you , Garnold . I mean that . I . . .” He would clasping Garnold’s hand in both of his and squeeze it tight .

“I love you .”

Garnold's heart would erupt in that moment , as tears began to well up in his eyes , but he smiled the biggest smile he'd ever been granted in his life .

“You . . . You do ?” With a gentle touch his free hand would rise up to hold onto both of Clukr's hands .

“I do .” Clukr would speak softly , leaning in to kiss the dampened cheek of the weeping mouse .

From that day on they were more inseparable than ever before . Though arguments and fights would often erupt amongst Garnold and his parents , he stood firmly in who he was and that he loved Clukr .

Though gradually , Garnold began to fall ill . And the stress of fighting back against his parents seemed to be making the condition worse . Clukr knew he couldn't stay in this place much longer . So he devised a plan .

The two of them would pack up their things and run away together . They were adults , anyhow , it's not like they could really be stopped . Clukr's family , at least , was supportive of the endeavor .

Garnold would leave a letter to his parents before departing in the middle of the night .

“ Dear mom and dad ,

I'm afraid I can't stay in this place any longer . As much as I love you both it breaks my heart to admit that our constant fighting is making my condition worsen by the day . I fear the only way for me to get better is to leave and forge my own life . I won't be alone . I'll have Clukr with me . I know you two weren't very fond of him , but he's kind . He cares about me . And I trust him . That should be enough for you .

I will not return . Do not try to find me . I've made my decision and I'm going to live with it .

Sincerely , M̶a̶r̶i̶g̶o̶l̶d̶

Garnold”

They would take a subway to the next town . Garnold falling asleep against Clukr , who made sure to keep him close and warm . Doing his best to stay awake and assure they wouldn't miss their stops .

And finally , they would reach their destination . A new town where they could build the life they wanted .

With Clukr's resume it didn't take him long to find a well paying job , and with their combined savings they were able to get a decent home to live in .

While the better atmosphere did help Garnold in some ways , it was abundantly clear his condition was still worsening , and the doctors couldn't pinpoint the exact issue , and told the two that Garnold's heart was very weak . Clukr decided he would take matters into his own hands .

Between shifts , he would work hard on a suit meant to stabilize Garnold's condition . This way he could buy time to research any possible cures , and Garnold who was currently stuck bedridden , would be able to live life while he did it . Clukr would work diligently at work and at home , taking any promotions he could get even if it meant more hours .

After months of trial and error , and hard tiring work , it was finally ready in time for Garnold's 25th birthday . It was a success , Garnold was able to function just as he did before as long as he had the suit on . And Clukr would keep an eye on Garnold's heart rate with a monitor .

With this massive relief , Clukr would take a small mental breather and use his vacation days to do something enjoyable with Garnold , as well as finally tying the knot . They didn't have a big fancy wedding , they wouldn't really have had anyone to invite , but it was enough for them to be together like this .

Clukr would continue to work hard . Upgrading the suit when he could and moving up in his job with a little help from a business associate (Black) , until he found himself in a leadership position where he could work from home and only step into the office when he really needed to . This gave him more time with Garnold and more time to put into looking for a cure for Garnold's condition .
