Don’t you know that the kids aren’t alright? (CLOSED)

Antoine shakes his head and sighs softly. It had been a long night, and it had been a disaster. He was exhausted and he didn't know why. He shakes his head, looking around in exhaustion. He sits up slowly. The nightmares were becoming frequent. He sighs and slips out of bed, falling limply to the floor.

((Oml I low key ship our characters now because Azeala loves cats and your character turns into one lol xD!!))

Azeala continued onwards, shoving her way through the small crowd of people on the sidewalk. Adjusting her beanie over her mess of gold curls, she started to make her way out to the park on the outskirts of the city. She wanted to go and clear her head, get away from everything and everyone for a while.

(We can if you want, also, could Antoine turn into a cat at will and he's kinda the one who helps the others deal with their demons?)

((I’ll only pursue the ship if you’re good with it ^^ and that sounds great! You can really do whatever you want, and that doesn’t sound like something that would mess anything up ^^))

Tobias woke up in a panic. The employees of the hotel he'd been sleeping at, were freaking out around him, probably because he'd spontaneously combusted in his sleep again.
He smothered his flame-covered body in the sheets, attempting to smother them out. The flames started to fade, but did not extinguish until he rolled.
The yelling continued.

Carter’s eyes fluttered open with a groan. He felt so… full. He wiped he chin with his arm and examined his sleeve. Blood. He furiously wiped his face, dried blood falling to his sleeve and the ground. He winced, and a cockroach crawled out from beneath his shirt. Carter frowned and whispered, “Sorry, buddy.” He looked around, trying to figure where he was at. Maybe someplace downtown…? Gosh I hope no one saw… Little memories -memories Carter desperately tried to to ignore- floated around him from last night. A girl. A little young girl who stayed up too late last night in the park went missing last night. Carter hadn’t left much evidence, other than his chin.

Libby sat on the park swing, trying to figure out What the hell happened last night? She knew she went to bed, she knew she woke up a few apartments down with a dead neighbor. A heart attack, but still strange. "It's not like sleepwalking can't be that extreme, right?" She said to herself, pushing the swing back a bit to go. "Funny, day before he was rambling about all his near death experiences in the elevator."

((Idk, I though maybe she might not know yet, id that okay?))

"Hey Dax?" Robin whispered through the dark of his small room.
"Yes Birdie?" the gruff voice of the demon came
"Im scared, their yelling again" Robin whispered agian, his voice hoarse from crying most likely

((I’ll only pursue the ship if you’re good with it ^^ and that sounds great! You can really do whatever you want, and that doesn’t sound like something that would mess anything up ^^))

Sure!//

Antoine sighs angrily and turns into a cat, making it easier for him to escape the sheets his larger body was stuck within. He grumbles some words that would curdle the milk if he had any sitting out before stretching and padding out onto the deck, perching there as he watches the world around him. He has one job, and that one job is to find people like him.

Tobias walks the streets of the city, trudging through disgusting alleys and crowded streets. He'd been kicked out of the hotel some time ago.

Libby swung, humming to herself as her mind wandered.

Carter let a long sigh and stood. Just got run it off, like I’m going for a morning jog… He started off lightly, running in the direction of the city towards his apartment. Carter hadn’t noticed the small spots of blood on his shirt, though…

Robin sneaks out of the house through the window, he climbs outside and drops to the weedy ground

As Azeala pushed her way through the people, she didn’t understand why so many people were staring at her. She instinctively growled at a small girl who was staring, only to get the girl sobbing as a response. As she walked by a window, she caught her reflection. Blood was smeared across her face and pants. “Shit…” she muttered, before sprinting down the road, hoping no one would be able to see the blood if she just kept running till she hit the park.

((Someone interact with me please I’m so awkward lol))

Robin walked to the park, running into a female "oh, im sorry." he looks down

i got chu//

((Screee thank you!!))

“Crap crap crap crap crap,” was all she could think when the person ran into her. “You should, uh, really watch where you’re going,” she yelled, trying to keep her head at an angle where the blood wasn’t visible. If it was successful, she couldn’t tell.

"im sorry but, why do you have blood on your shirt miss?" Robin asks

“Uh, uh, because…. STREETFIGHTING!!” She shouted, finally thinking of a good explaination for the blood covering her. Her face flushing from embarrassment, she looked down and continued, “I’m a street fighter, got in a tough fight last night.” She guessed it wasn’t that far from the truth. Azeala hopes this stranger wouldn’t be able to read through her lie.

Carter started down the city streets, jaywalking across the road at one point. Phantom memories still ghosted him, which made him clench and unclench his shirt in his fist. An earwig crawled down his arm, which he failed to notice as he kept jogging. Run it out, run away from it, you’ll be fine.

"you shoultdnt fight, thats how you get hurt" he sounds like a robot, reapeting this as if he had done it multile times

Antoine stands and stretches leisurely. He sighs and looks around, hopping from his perch as he releases a bored meow before starting to look around.

Carter was just halfway to his parent’s apartment before hearing a meow. He should’ve ignored it, should’ve kept running, but he stopped. Something was off. A millipede crawled it’s way out of Carter’s ear, moving to crawl over his neck then down his chest. Something is off, they can sense it…

Antoine sees a bug and his cat like instincts ring. He chases after it towards what appears to be a human, but something about his aura was off. "Well I found one." He says, tilting his head at Carter.

Carter jumped back, eyes widening. It’s a hallucination, not real- “What the?!” It’s just a cat, nothing bad- A cockroach crawled its way out of his mouth, which made him spit it out, and it fell near the cat. Geez, they know something’s off. He felt that strange itching sensation, making him take a step away from the cat.

He sniffs at the cockaroach then looks at the human, "Right then. Human, my name is Antoine. I'm looking for people like you. Unless, you've already learned to tame your powers…" He glances at the bugs.

“What are you talking about?” Carter demanded, a bit of panic edging into his voice. If someone knew about him, if someone knew how he ate children in the night… Carter took another step back. I’m talking to a cat. This has to be a hallucination.

Antoine clears his throat. "Right." He shifts into his human form, "This easier?" He asks, tilting his head at the human… well… not human, but whatever.

Carter jumped back even more, “You- You were a cat.” This hasn’t ever happened before… Could there really be another like me? “I- What do you want from me?” This cat -guy- Antoine… Another monster?
