Dragon's Roar ( Future Arc )

[Skaggon]

Clark got bored and decided to wander off. He didn't care to talk to these people he just wanted to get going or at least be told what they should do. But until then he was bored and needEd something to do.

"I'm.. I'm not saying you can't protect yourself, you've probably got a better chance than I do right now." Castiel took a deep breath and exhaled lightly. "But, these people took our parents with apparently no problem at all. Judging by the fact that you were only alerted to the fact they weren't here and that most people didn't even notice, then that means that they were taken with next to no struggle. So how are we even meant to stand a chance?" Castiel leaned forwards as he took his head out of his hands. "We're not able to deal with any of this... Well I'm not anyway; I don't even want to go, because..."


Castiel placed his head into his hands and sighed before taking his hands away from his face. "Because I'm scared... I'm scared of getting in people's way and ruining things because my Vision is completely gone. I'm scared of.... Of dying... I'm scared of not being able to protect you, or ending up dragging you down with me.... I'm scared of losing you at all..." Castiel pressed his hands into his face and let himself fall backwards on his bed before taking his hands away from his face. "I'm scared of being the reason you get hurt" He took a deep, shaky breath, still not looking in Ruby's direction. "I'm scared because I've never had to face with anything like this; The most I've done is training with dad... I've got no idea what to do in a situation like this.. and... I just want to go to sleep and wake up with mom and dad back here... I miss them and I feel terrible because I know that I can't even help to get them back.. I can't even pack my own stuff! I'm useless right now... and this" Castiel threw his arms up, trying to gesture to everything that was happening. "This is just one big reminder of it.."

"Castiel you're not useless! Don't think that way about yourself. You're scared, s-so am I." Ruby finishes packing what she thinks Castiel would need and looks down at the ground. "I think...I think telling people who can be trusted in this group that you're blind would help you and the group as a whole out a lot." ( @GingerBread )


Zalena giggles at his response, spinning around once and directing her gaze upon him once more. She stands directly in his line of sight, growing extremely close to his face. "Well since you're already packed I'm going to become your friend, silly! We can't save our parents if we don't do it together!" Zalena grins, showing off her bright face as well as her bright red eyes. The blue tips on the ends of her hair almost seemed to sparkle as she extends her hand for Hassan to shake as a symbol of their friendship. ( @Embaga Elder )


Juniper looks down at the ground as Marshall begins to talk to her. She swallows and focuses deeply on the detail of her shoes, counting the seconds as they go by. Juniper was obviously fidgeting but the thought of him getting angry at her hit Juniper like a bus. "Juniper." She says this lightning fast and begins to take deep breaths as she looks from the left to the right, keeping this gaze low. She wanted to walk away but she couldn't, that would anger Marshall and would lead to further problems. Juniper was panicking due to the fact that she had nothing to say or do. In her mind ideas were flying around while on the outside she was standing there, frozen while her eyes stuck to the ground. Once Yin appears beside them Juniper actually manages to take a small step back, distancing herself from them. ( @Tazmodo @The Imperial Flame )

Hassan raised an eyebrow at Zalena's words. She actually wanted to he friends with him, and he had no idea why. He wondered how long this friendship would last. Friends huh? Okay, lets see how long this will last. He shook Zalena's hand, keeping a contained smile. He released her hand right as his stomach growls. I need to eat before I shoot myself. He walks back inside heading towards his pantry and grabs an unopened box of strawberry frosted poptarts. He opens the box and unzips his back dumping all 12 poptarts in his bag. He takes one out and looks at Zalena. Would you happen to want one?

"This friendship will last forever." Zalena winks at Hassan and smacks the poptart out of his hand. "No need! When you have Zalena was your waifu, I can just bake you something. What do you want to eat? I think we have time." Zalena tilts her head sideways, having a curious expression on her face. It was at the same magnitude of curiosity one would have when they're trying to find out if there's a ghost in the room.

"I am useless; I'm not packing my own stuff, I can't even walk around on my own. That broken lamp is evidence for that. I'm just-" Castiel sighed and rolled over so that he was facing up towards the ceiling. "Sorry... I'm sorry, I shouldn't be taking it out on you... You should go pack your stuff. I'll just wait here" Castiel sighed and rolled on his side to face the wall again. "I'm not going to tell anyone that I'm blind, even if I did trust any of them"

Mary


Mary gave Alyson a confused look as she watched her run out of the room, curious and not wanting to just be left behind, Mary followed her. When she saw Alyson standing there trying to hide underneath her hoodie, Mary's confused look returned to her face. "Are you alright?" Mary gently swayed as she looked around, taking note of the packed duffle bag. "Do you want me to help with anything? I could carry your stuff for you"

Valente has a degenerate approach Eppie so it could take her home. It opens its mouth wide enough for Eppie to step into. It was also being considerate of how much luggage she would need to bring back. ( @CelticSol )

Eppie pauses, scowling, "Damn, this again?" Sighing both to gather her nerve and to prepare herself for the stomach flipping drop, she steps into the mouth of the degenerate. The fall through the pocket dimension feels shorter this time - maybe it's because she closes her eyes the whole time. She doesn't open them until she feels the hardwood under her feet, and opens them to find herself exactly where she had gotten picked up before.


Heading into her room, she opts for her largest backpack, rather than a suitcase; she doesn't know how much they'll be moving around, or what kind of terrain they're going to be walking through, but she figures it's better safe than dragging a suitcase through a snowy tundra. She packs what she figures she'll need; she packs some of her jeans, a few pairs of shorts, one light weight sweater and one warmer sweater, shirts (both short and long sleeved), and underwear. Her choices remain within the realm of practical and easy to move in, some choices varying from winter to summer wear. She only packs a couple of toiletries; a toothbrush, a tube of toothpaste, a stick of deodorant, and a hairbrush. After a minute of thought, she decides to pack her lockpicking kit, slipping it into one of the pockets.


She heads into her parents' room next, ignoring the pang of anxiety and guilt that hits her when she views the empty room. She takes her mother's pistol, kept hidden under the pillow, and searches through the room, looking for ammo. She comes up with 8 filled magazines, most of the hidden within her mother's bedside table, nine if she counts the magazine already in the gun. Eppie doesn't see a holster anywhere, so she double checks the safety and carefully places it inside her backpack. Doing a last sweep of the room, she goes into spots her parents' tend to keep money, and comes up with a little over a grand. Any other day, she'd be thrilled with the discovery and go spend it all, but what was once a relatively large amount of money now feels insufficient. She doesn't know how long she would be away from home and out of the reach of her parents' resources, but she know one grand wouldn't cover it.


Eppie was about to walk out the door, but stops when a thought occurs to her, Injections.





Her mother and father had always kept relatively tight lipped about where they kept injections; Eppie is a nightmare without injections, so adding magical powers on top of a teenager who compulsively stole everything? Recipe for disaster. Eppie supposes she can understand the logic, but now, it's frustrating. And they had hidden them well, Eppie finds out after she has all but torn the room apart. The dresser drawers of both her parents? Empty. The cabinets in the bathroom? Bare except for her mother's medication. Their bedside tables? Zilch.


Zeta might know where they keep them, she figures, sighing in frustration as she walks out the door, slinging her bag over her shoulder. She looks at the degenerate, making very obvious gestures as she speaks very slowly, "I am going to go. You stay here. I will be back," Just in case she's been misunderstood by the creature, she repeats herself, dumbing it down, "Me go. You stay."


She all but leaps down the stairs, stuffing her feet into her shoes as she grabs the cars keys, running to the car and all but throwing herself into the driver's seat. She practically drifts out of the drive way in her hurry, speeding through the streets. She reaches the school in record time - likely breaking a dozen traffic laws in the process - and leaves the car to idle in front of the school. She runs through the halls, trying to remember which class her brother has at this time of the day.


Was it math? Or was it history? She's about to text Zeta when she spots a familiar head of silver hair through the window of a classroom. She nearly trips trying to stop her dead sprint and turn around, busting through the door in a typical, Eppie-styled commotion. She finds Zeta's red eyes past the sea of the wide, confused, and even startled gazes of his classmates and teacher. "Okay, Z, I will explain everything on the way, but I need you to come with me right now. Like, right now right now. Shit got crazy."

Zeta quietly watches as Epsilon runs into the class he wasn't even paying attention to. At Epsilon's frantic words, he simply nods his head, immediately standing up. As he walks towards the door, he turns on his heel and gives his class a mock salute, before turning back to the door and leaving with Epsilon. "Problem?" He asked curtly.

Ruby approaches Castiel and takes his hand. "Just don't think about it too much. It'll all work out and we'll get our parents back in no time." That's when Ruby left to pack up her belongings and grab Porkchops as well. ( @GingerBread )

By the time Eppie got to school and grabbed Zeta, the slow words she gave to the degenerate finally registered. It's brain finally managed to process and understand what Eppie said. "AAAAAAAGGGGGAAAAAAAAHH!" The degenerate speaks slowly as its jaw hangs open, allowing drool to escape and pool heavily on Eppie's floors. By the time she comes home there would be a huge puddle.

( Sorry if this is crap I'm really not it's late and I'm tired. I should be asleep already. I'm fading away from the conscious world after this. )


Austrianna had finished packing for both Zalena and Juniper. She was about to pack for Kristen and Faolan but Kristen would probably reject her help. It wouldn't stop her from trying anyways. Before she begins to work on herself, she goes downstairs and presses a hidden button, just beneath the actual door to the basement. This triggers another button to rise up underneath the rug in the large and cluttered area. Austrianna remembers exactly where to step in the basement to hit the small button which triggers a door to the weapons vault Isabel keeps. Isabel hasn't told dad of this just in case he ended up going through this vault when drunk and hasn't told her younger siblings since that would be a recipe for disaster. Letting Maya and Hakeem toil around with legendary weapons would be a big mess to clean up. Emily and Red are absolutely the worst people you can trust with any form of power. Red being the hot head he is and Emily being what her mother classifies her as Christina 2.0. Blue on the other hand is far too peace-loving to even care about the sight of weapons. Austrianna enters the room and presses the button on the inside, causing the vault door to close and revert back to the regular basement wall.


From this point onward it was nothing more than a hall with basic weapons to legendary weapons on display. They all had their own capsule and an individual password. She passes by a rusty knife, Excalibur, a basic ax, a birth scythe, Sunset, a bow, Apollon's bow, Poseidon's trident, a katana, and lastly Xeron's first vorpal sword. She lacked the passwords for them all and definitely couldn't break open the capsules.


Austrianna did have the password for one weapon amongst the thousands of them in this hall. She examines her sword that she keeps here, nothing more than a simple katana made with bone. She smiles at the sight as the memories of her recent use of it flow through her mind. She begins to type in the unnecessarily long password but feels nothing but satisfaction once the capsule opens with a slow hiss.


<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2016_07/3833832_01_genuine_bone_katana_sword_set_640.jpg.9257729daa60b1d70b9f4f79cbdb152e.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="144914" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2016_07/3833832_01_genuine_bone_katana_sword_set_640.jpg.9257729daa60b1d70b9f4f79cbdb152e.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


Once fully opened she grabs the katana and closes the capsule. These monarchs who were brave enough to capture her parents didn't make Austrianna feel fear, it made her furious even though she doesn't show it. She promised herself that she would try to keep her emotions in check. She had to make sure her siblings were safe and are calm at all times. If she was in constant disarray then leading that goal would be futile.


Austrianna exits the hall of weapons and leaves the basement. It was about time she helped her last pair of siblings pack up. She decides on helping the more complaint of the two first, her little Faolan. She had to remember to pack some form of video game for him so he could be entertained. Unless she just decides on throwing Zalena at him then that would get rid of the battery problem that would come with games. Hoping he's already inside of his room, she knocks on his door. If he wasn't then she'd just start for him. Now that she was at it, she also had to grab all of their homework from school. She had so much to do with hopefully a good amount of time. ( @LokiofSP )

"This friendship will last forever." Zalena winks at Hassan and smacks the poptart out of his hand. "No need! When you have Zalena was your waifu, I can just bake you something. What do you want to eat? I think we have time." Zalena tilts her head sideways, having a curious expression on her face. It was at the same magnitude of curiosity one would have when they're trying to find out if there's a ghost in the room.

My poptart. He looked down at his poptart with a dull look in his eyes, while inside he was sadden because he knew that poptart is broken into pieces. He looks back up at Zalena raising an eyebrow. The hell is wrong with her. She doesn't even know me and is already offering to make me some food. And what the hell is a waifu? He took the duffle bag off his shoulders and crossed his arms. Do you know how to make baked chicken and collard greens, if not then I'm eating this poptart. Of course he knew how to make them himself but he surely wasn't in the mood to.

Mary gave Alyson a confused look as she watched her run out of the room, curious and not wanting to just be left behind, Mary followed her. When she saw Alyson standing there trying to hide underneath her hoodie, Mary's confused look returned to her face. "Are you alright?" Mary gently swayed as she looked around, taking note of the packed duffle bag. "Do you want me to help with anything? I could carry your stuff for you"

Alyson brought her hands up to her chest tapping her index fingers together. I-I'm okay. Just sh-shy that's all. She said slowly and softly. N-no that's okay. Thank you, but we can just head back. Alyson slowly removed the hoodie from her face, dropping it on the floor. She slowly walked and grabbed her bag throwing it over her shoulder. She grabs her Bow sword taking it apart and places the two swords in her quiver. She held the quiver in her right hand and the strap of the bag in her left. She looked down at the ground, avoiding eye contact with Mary. O-okay I'm ready.

"Kinda hard to focus on anything else right now" He smiled and shrugged as he moved so that he was sitting on the edge of his bed after Ruby had left the room. "I wish I had your positivity Ruby..." Castiel sighed and started to think about what he might need that Ruby might not have packed for him, Though his thoughts ended up coming back to the fact that their parents were missing. "I don't even like anyone that we're going to have to work with. They all seem like assholes so far, either that or they have massive problems with their anger. Either way I don't really want to have to work with them; I'd probably be better off doing it myself" Castiel rested his head in his hands and sighed before slowly dragging his hands down his face. "And you've already left to pack your things up haven't you Ruby?" Castiel said as he realised that he hadn't heard Ruby for a while. "...So I've just been talking to myself.. Well at least no one can see me looking crazy... Though I guess neither can I" Castiel chuckled at his own joke, before looking sadly at the ground, hating the fact that it was true.

"There's no need to be shy! I'm sure we'll be the best of friends" Mary smiled up at Alyson as she skipped over to her side and went to grab her hand, before noticing that both of Alyson's hands were full. Mary frowned slightly and looked up at Alyson. "Are you sure you don't want me to help? I won't break any of your stuff, I promise!"

Zeta quietly watches as Epsilon runs into the class he wasn't even paying attention to. At Epsilon's frantic words, he simply nods his head, immediately standing up. As he walks towards the door, he turns on his heel and gives his class a mock salute, before turning back to the door and leaving with Epsilon. "Problem?" He asked curtly.

Eppie grabs Zeta's wrist and starts dragging him behind her, making sure he keeps up with the very fast walking pace. She looks behind her at him when he asks her, in his very Zeta way, what's going on, so she starts explaining, "Okay, so I went home after my suspension, right? I walk in the door, ready for a good old fashioned Jacqueline Sapienti chewing out, but nobody was home. I mean, weird, but not uncommon, so I go check the calendar to see if mom had any work today, but she's off this week. I check the garage to see if either of their cars are gone, but both of them are parked there. They wouldn't use an injection to go out to the grocery store or whatever the fuck our parents do when they leave the house, so I'm confused as to where the hell they've gone. I call mom's phone, and wouldn't you guess? No answer. I call dad. Goes right to voicemail. I call mom's emergency number. Pattern holds, goes right to message, doesn't even connect. So I start freaking out, right? Because mom's accomplices are shady as fuck and the people she fucks over are even shadier, and my mind immediately jumps to that because mom killed that mob boss last week so maybe they were pissed?"


Eppie leads her brother out to the idled car, leaving him at the passenger seat as she goes around to the driver side, climbing. Once Zeta climbs in, she shifts into gear, pulling out of the school parking lot as she continues her story, "So obviously, I'm freaking out because our parents might be dead, and I'm thinking, 'this can't get any worse, can it?'" As they reach a stoplight, she turns to face him, leaning on the armrest, "It gets fucking worse. I get snatched by these shadowy looking fucks with bolts for brains and I get dropped in front of this old ass castle. Get this, though; I wasn't the only there. There was a bunch of kids my age, some younger, but I looked like one of the oldest there. We all get hustled into the castle, and there's this huge ass door with an enchanted lock. Every time one of the kids walked in the door, a part of the lock would go away. Everybodies either scared, pissed off, or confused, one girl's trying reign it in and, man, it is just not working out because nobody is listening at all. Since you were obviously too cool to show up and stayed in your math class like a fucking nerd, the lock faded, let us into another big ass room, and there's this bitch in there. She says, and I shit you not, 'what's up, uh, fam?'" Eppie does a poor imitation of Valente, sitting properly in her seat as the light changes, hitting the gas and going around cars at speeds that are definitely not legal.


"So, I'm just about ready to shoot myself in the fucking face because the whole situation is the biggest shit show I've had to put up with since I stole the Porsche, and then this bitch, Valentine or whatever the fuck her name was - I wasn't really paying attention - starts telling us that we're some prophecy kids. Not only that, but in order to save our parents, we have to take out all the Monarchs and shit to do it. She asks us if we'll join this big quest or whatever, and everybody is stepping up. So I'm like, 'sure, why the fuck not, everything else has gone to shit,' so they dropped me off back at the house-" Eppie all but drifts into their street, "-so I can pack my shit, then I came and got you because obviously you're coming with for this clusterfuck of a quest, but right now-" She pulls into the driveway, slamming the brakes and coming to a stop so abrupt the car lurches, puts the car into park, then turns to Zeta. "-I need you to tell me where the fuck mom and dad keep the injections because they'd have to be stupid to let me know where they are. I tore apart their room trying to find them, but they aren't in there."

She looks behind her at him when he asks her, in his very Zeta way, what's going on, so she starts explaining, "Okay, so I went home after my suspension, right? I walk in the door, ready for a good old fashioned Jacqueline Sapienti chewing out, but nobody was home. I mean, weird, but not uncommon, so I go check the calendar to see if mom had any work today, but she's off this week. I check the garage to see if either of their cars are gone, but both of them are parked there. They wouldn't use an injection to go out to the grocery store or whatever the fuck our parents do when they leave the house, so I'm confused as to where the hell they've gone. I call mom's phone, and wouldn't you guess? No answer. I call dad. Goes right to voicemail. I call mom's emergency number. Pattern holds, goes right to message, doesn't even connect. So I start freaking out, right? Because mom's accomplices are shady as fuck and the people she fucks over are even shadier, and my mind immediately jumps to that because mom killed that mob boss last week so maybe they were pissed?"
Eppie leads her brother out to the idled car, leaving him at the passenger seat as she goes around to the driver side, climbing. Once Zeta climbs in, she shifts into gear, pulling out of the school parking lot as she continues her story, "So obviously, I'm freaking out because our parents might be dead, and I'm thinking, 'this can't get any worse, can it?'" As they reach a stoplight, she turns to face him, leaning on the armrest, "It gets fucking worse. I get snatched by these shadowy looking fucks with bolts for brains and I get dropped in front of this old ass castle. Get this, though; I wasn't the only there. There was a bunch of kids my age, some younger, but I looked like one of the oldest there. We all get hustled into the castle, and there's this huge ass door with an enchanted lock. Every time one of the kids walked in the door, a part of the lock would go away. Everybodies either scared, pissed off, or confused, one girl's trying reign it in and, man, it is just not working out because nobody is listening at all. Since you were obviously too cool to show up and stayed in your math class like a fucking nerd, the lock faded, let us into another big ass room, and there's this bitch in there. She says, and I shit you not, 'what's up, uh, fam?'" Eppie does a poor imitation of Valente, sitting properly in her seat as the light changes, hitting the gas and going around cars at speeds that are definitely not legal.


"So, I'm just about ready to shoot myself in the fucking face because the whole situation is the biggest shit show I've had to put up with since I stole the Porsche, and then this bitch, Valentine or whatever the fuck her name was - I wasn't really paying attention - starts telling us that we're some prophecy kids. Not only that, but in order to save our parents, we have to take out all the Monarchs and shit to do it. She asks us if we'll join this big quest or whatever, and everybody is stepping up. So I'm like, 'sure, why the fuck not, everything else has gone to shit,' so they dropped me off back at the house-" Eppie all but drifts into their street, "-so I can pack my shit, then I came and got you because obviously you're coming with for this clusterfuck of a quest, but right now-" She pulls into the driveway, slamming the brakes and coming to a stop so abrupt the car lurches, puts the car into park, then turns to Zeta. "-I need you to tell me where the fuck mom and dad keep the injections because they'd have to be stupid to let me know where they are. I tore apart their room trying to find them, but they aren't in there."

Zeta calmly listened to his sister's ramblings, and as they arrive at the house, Zeta gets out of the car. Walking towards the door to the house, Zeta looks back to Epsilon. "Sink cabinet. Behind cleaning supplies," he told her simply, before going inside. He immediately went to his room and threw some clothing into a day pack. Also, from beneath his mattress, he grabbed a Greek xiphos that his father had given him a while ago. Twirling the double-edged sword around his fingers, he slid it into the scabbard that was also under his mattress, before stuffing the whole thing into his bag. Going to his nightstand, he grabbed the two dark mana injections that were there. The rest were with Epsilon's injections. Hopefully she would grab them for him. If not, well, at least he had two. Zeta then walked into his parents room where he saw...... Something standing in a pool of its own saliva. Zeta raised an eyebrow, but said nothing.

Eppie pats Zeta as she darts by him, sinking down on to her knees in the bathroom as she throws open the cabinet. She throws the cleaning supplies on the floor, grabbing the injections from the back of the cabinet. She carefully holds them in her hands as she counts them, "Fuck," She hisses, counting only 1 syringe of dark mana for Zeta, and three of... Well, she's not actually sure what type of mana this is. It doesn't look like any mana she's ever seen before, and she inspects the vial closely, holding it close to her eyes; it looks, for the most part, like a mixture of black and grey, with the grey resting on top of the black like oil over water. Even when she shakes it, it doesn't evenly distribute, the grey simply making streaks through the black. Was this mom's magic? Her mother had always been very tight lipped about her magic and what it could do, never even giving hints about what she could do to Zeta or Eppie. Not even genetics revealed her mother's secret; both of the twins' abilities were purely gained and influenced from their father.


She shrugs, grabbing them all as she slips them into her backpack carefully. She heads into the hall, finding Zeta in front of the degenerate, "I only found one dark mana vial, and there were three of whatever the fuck mom uses. Mom must've done a contract with dad recently or something for their stock to be so low. I've got them in my backpack. Oh, remember the shadowy fucks I mentioned earlier? This is-" She, then, notices the puddle of saliva pooling on the floor, "Are you fucking kidding?! Dude, c'mon!" Sighing in aggravation, she looks to Zeta, irritation written plain on her face, "This is our ride, by the way."

The degenerate opens its mouth even more for both Eppie and Zeta to fit in it. They both had to walk through a huge puddle of drool to get there first.

"Castiel you're not useless! Don't think that way about yourself. You're scared, s-so am I." Ruby finishes packing what she thinks Castiel would need and looks down at the ground. "I think...I think telling people who can be trusted in this group that you're blind would help you and the group as a whole out a lot." ( @Caped Baldy )

Grace was standing where she was told to waiting. She observed the area and noticed Ruby wasn't here. She also saw a missing Castiel and wondered who else was still packing. When she saw Ruby and Castiel arrive via degenerate she waved over to the and walked her way there. "Hey it took you to ages. Did you get all the supplies you need?"

Zalena purses her lips, looking up to the upper left. She taps the tip of her finger on her chin until she finds her words. "Hhhhhmmm nope! I can try though, I'm willing to do that. How do you make it? Where's the kitchen?!" Zalena grabs him by his collar and begins to literally shake him down for answers.
After some time Ruby enters the room once more with a backpack on and Porkchops the mini pig in her arms. "Alright...I called the neighbors and I'm ready to go. I found mom's stash of injections but only found three. I'm putting them in your bag." Ruffling could be heard for a brief moment after her statement. "Alright...here's your bag." She sets his bag in his hands and guides him into the degenerate's mouth. Once they appear in the room again, Ruby looks around for Grace and Ree. ( @Caped Baldy )

Ree had arrived from her degenerate wearing a set of summer clothes perfect for the blistering heat of Morocco as well as the biggest backpack she could find, loaded with all the essentials she could think of.


Despite the large weight hanging from her shoulders, she felt quite unprepared for the journey ahead of her once she caught a glimpse of her companions; armed to the teeth with guns, knives and various other tools of the life-taking variety. What have i gotten myself into? she nervously thought to herself until the sight of Ruby and Castiel derailed her previous train of thought.


"Hey! You guys all set to go? I'll be honest, I'm really nervous..I mean, the tension around here is so thick you could cut it with a knife! It's like the calm before the storm! Like we're all about to get on a big roller-coaster and-uh..I'm probably not helping, aren't I?"


Once again, her train of thought is distracted, but this time by an unfamiliar face quickly approaching.


"Oh! Uh..I don't think we've met, My name's Ree. Pleasure to meet you"


Ree extended her hand outward to the stranger for a handshake. What were the chances that this gesture could fail twice in a row?

Zeta wordlessly walks right into the degenerate's mouth, walking through the drool without hesitation. He immediately felt the dropping sensation, and suddenly he was.... Somewhere he had never been before. Hands stuffed into his pockets, Zeta looks around at his surroundings.

Castiel


Castiel nodded when Ruby said she was putting the mana injections into his bag. "Alright, I'll be sure to look out for them if I never go through my stuff" Castiel smiled at Ruby and gripped the bag tightly when she placed it into his hand. "Thanks. I'm guessing we're going now... Can you not tell anyone about me being... Blind? I don't want to be written off as a burden; I'll tell someone..Eventually. But I'd like to do it myself" He smiled at Ruby as she guided him into the degenerates mouth and went through the feeling of falling through a endless chasm once again, making him grip his bag tighter.


Castiel shook his head and sighed when they arrived in back in the castle and people started coming over to him and Ruby. "Yeah, we've got everything we'll need, at least for the time being." He shrugged as he answered Grace's question before Ree came over and started talking to them. "Don't be nervous" Castiel said, not giving any reason along with it, mostly because he didn't have a good one. He looked around casually before looking forwards. "Anyway, I'm going to go and chill. Come get me if you need me"


Castiel started turned to his side, sure that there were no people immediately there and started walking slowly towards one of the walls inside the room. He had his arm slightly ahead of him so that he could feel when he got to the wall. When he did, he turned around and leaned against it before sliding down it into a sitting position. Castiel placed the bag in his lap before hugging it to his chest, not wanting anyone to come over and try to take something from it.

Amber grabbed his bag from the dance studio , as he left he gave the building a sad look before going to his apartment and packing his stuff before walking into the degenerates mouth and that familiar dropping sensation came.

Mary
"There's no need to be shy! I'm sure we'll be the best of friends" Mary smiled up at Alyson as she skipped over to her side and went to grab her hand, before noticing that both of Alyson's hands were full. Mary frowned slightly and looked up at Alyson. "Are you sure you don't want me to help? I won't break any of your stuff, I promise!"

Friends?? She questioned. Alyson really didn't have many friends. She was always to shy to even talk to anyone within school. The only real friends she had was Festus and Hassan. Alyson slowly lifted her head towards Mary. She was so kind and friendly, Alyson didn't want to say no. She reached out her right hand, passing on the work of carrying her quiver to Mary. Thank you. She said softly. She looked at Mary's hand, seeing how close it was too her. She assumed she wanted to hold hands which made Alyson at little uncomfortable. But she fought against it and slowly reached out and held Mary's hand. Alyson was taking a big leap out of her shyness. Ready? She asked looking away.

Zalena purses her lips, looking up to the upper left. She taps the tip of her finger on her chin until she finds her words. "Hhhhhmmm nope! I can try though, I'm willing to do that. How do you make it? Where's the kitchen?!" Zalena grabs him by his collar and begins to literally shake him down for answers.

.
Hassan's body stiffened up as Zalena grabbed on to him and started shaking him for answers. He grabs her wrist and pulls her hands away from his collar. No touchy. He walked towards the kitchen and stood in the center of it. There's a recipe book right there on the counter. He points to it. Please don't try to burn this house down or kill me with your cooking. He goes and sits down on a black stool, watching Chef Zalena.

Yin smirked "Dick." She walked over to Castiel and nudged him with her foot. Her face slightly amused, and confused. "Uh hey, you look lonely. I thought you could use someone to talk too." She opened her bag and pulled out a granola bar. She pretty much ate it in one bite. "You hungry?" She said, holding a granola bar to his hand.

Castiel


Castiel looked up when Yin nudged him with her foot and asked if he was hungry. "Hm? No, I'm fine thanks" Castiel smiled briefly before looking towards the ground, not trying to be antisocial, but he didn't know where Yin was and didn't want to give away the fact that he couldn't see. "I'm not lonely, I just wanted to relax a bit. But, if you want to chat, I'm okay with it; I might as well get to know you since we'll be working together, right?"





@The Imperial Flame


Mary


Mary gladly took the quiver from Alyson, still smiling up at her. "Of course! You don't have to be my friend, but if you were that'd be great! I think we'd be the best friends ever, don't you?" Mary's smiled only got bigger as Alyson held her hand, taking that as a sign that she was okay with being her friend. "Yup! Let's go" She started walking forwards quickly, her hand still in Alyson's, slightly dragging Alyson along with her, not realising that she was.
