I'm not the same kid from your memories

꧁༺ Panel 60 ༻꧂

Kwinn: Hey gorgeous, do you work out at a gym?

Jacob: Yeah, are you looking for one?

꧁༺ Panel 61 ༻꧂

Kwinn: I can't help it, he's an entire snack and well, we don't have any food in the house.

꧁༺ Panel 62 ༻꧂

Kwinn: Honey, I'm only looking to be bench pressed by you.

Bhavya: They did not just say that.

Styvie: Unfortunately, I think they did.

꧁༺ Panel 63 ༻꧂

Jett: What the hell!

꧁༺ Panel 64 ༻꧂

Jett: Frickin' bats! No one even noticed, either!

꧁༺ Panel 65 ༻꧂

Bhavya: I was thinking about the mushrooms I found, and I kind of remembered Styvie saying something about gardening. So after everyone left and went to bed, I thought I'd extend an olive branch. Erm, or a mushroom branch?

꧁༺ Panel 66 ༻꧂

Bhavya: Hey, I found a few of these while I was out. I thought you might want to plant them or something.

Styvie: Oh, wow, you're so sweet. You didn't have to do that!

꧁༺ Panel 67 ༻꧂

Styvie: Bhavya is so incredibly thoughtful. She's very sweet, I feel stupid for being so worried about her. Her aura is beautiful, and she's so calm, I think we're gonna be good friends.

꧁༺ Panel 68 ༻꧂

Kwinn: Hello?

꧁༺ Panel 69 ༻꧂

Mr. Thompson: Oh, howdy there, sorry to wake you up.

Kwinn: Holy shit!

꧁༺ Panel 70 ༻꧂

꧁༺ Panel 37 ༻꧂

Ezekiel: Ghosts, huh... Okay, hey.

꧁༺ Panel 38 ༻꧂

Ezekiel: Hey, uh, did you see that by any chance?

Styvie: The auras? Yeah, I met them last night. Pretty cool, huh!

꧁༺ Panel 39 ༻꧂

Ezekiel: Ghosts, auras, whatever. I'll gladly take those over the damn spiders ughhh.

꧁༺ Panel 40 ༻꧂

Styvie: Ugh, the sun goddess shows no mercy, I've got to get some shade. But please, use the fish money to get you guys some food.

Ximin: I'll come check on you in a minute.

Ezekiel: Thanks. So we've got twenty bucks, we can probably get something and have a few bucks left over...

꧁༺ Panel 41 ༻꧂

[Meanwhile]

꧁༺ Panel 42 ༻꧂

Ximin: Heh, ha... Fuck...

꧁༺ Panel 43 ༻꧂

Styvie: Ah! It's not what it looks like!

Ximin: Hey, uh, no worries! Who am I to get in the way of people's kinks. I'll knock next time.

Styvie: No, no, I'm a vampire!

Ximin: Oh... Sick.

꧁༺ Panel 44 ༻꧂

Ximin: I didn't care, I was like, what am I the kink police? I'm def not the vampire police so who cares. I'mma need a sec to adjust to what I saw, but who cares.

꧁༺ Panel 45 ༻꧂

Ezekiel: Bro, did you really order a cocktail?

Ximin: What? We had five bucks left.

Bhavya: Christ.

꧁༺ Panel 46 ༻꧂

꧁༺ Panel 47 ༻꧂

Kwinn: Ha ha, yeah. Styvie drank that woman's blood.

꧁༺ Panel 48 ༻꧂

Kwinn: YOU DRANK THAT WOMAN'S BLOOD??!!

Styvie: Well, unfortunately, I kind of have to...

꧁༺ Panel 49 ༻꧂

Ximin: Making my way downtown. Walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound.

Ximin: C'mon Moonwood Mill!

Jett: [laughs]

Ximin: And I need you, and I miss you. Bring it home, Jetski!

꧁༺ Panel 50 ༻꧂

Jett: I saw the guitar in the main room, and I thought it was nice out so I wanted to try playing it. I didn't know Ximin followed me out until he started singing. [Laughs] He's a lot of fun.

꧁༺ Panel 51 ༻꧂

Ximin: Oh, fuck yeah! Jett doesn't know it yet, but we're gonna start a band!

꧁༺ Panel 52 ༻꧂

꧁༺ Panel 53 ༻꧂

꧁༺ Panel 54 ༻꧂

Caleb: Gross, it smells like dog here.

Bhavya: Huh, you're right! It does smell like little bitch out here.

꧁༺ Panel 55 ༻꧂

꧁༺ Panel 23 ༻꧂

Ximin: So, like, what's your situation? I'm a spellcaster.

Styvie: Oh, I'm a vampire.

Ximin: Would you say immortality is a pain in the neck? Heh heh.

Styvie: Dude, shut up.

Jett: I'm sorry if this is weird, but I just think you're really beautiful.

Bhavya: Aw, that's so sweet, thank you. I think you're beautiful, too.

꧁༺ Panel 24 ༻꧂

꧁༺ Panel 25 ༻꧂

Jett: No, I don't think Bhavya got what I was talking about, but just as well. I was starting to get tired and a little overwhelmed. Humaning is hard.

꧁༺ Panel 26 ༻꧂

꧁༺ Panel 27 ༻꧂

꧁༺ Panel 28 ༻꧂

Ximin: I swear I wasn't even drunk, I haven't even found the liquor yet! There's something about this house, bro.

꧁༺ Panel 29 ༻꧂

Styvie: Hello? Oh, wow. Hi, sorry! I just have to pee.

꧁༺ Panel 30 ༻꧂

Styvie: I have no idea what those things were. I wasn't scared I just felt bad for not giving them any space. But I spoke with them for a moment, they didn't say anything or really make any noise.

꧁༺ Panel 31 ༻꧂

꧁༺ Panel 32 ༻꧂

꧁༺ Panel 33 ༻꧂

Styvie: After I spoke with the spirits, I got the feeling I need to go fishing, so I did. I figured it would be a good source of plasma, or we could sell it since we have no money. When I got back it was late and everyone was in bed, there was only one bed left. You know, I felt like I was being a little harsh on her, so I was actually kind of glad to be rooming with her.

꧁༺ Panel 34 ༻꧂

꧁༺ Panel 5 ༻꧂

Ximin: Yeah, I really don't know [laughs] I don't know why Kwinn took their close off. I was just trying to comfort Bhayva.

꧁༺ Panel 6 ༻꧂

Ezekiel: Man, I saw too damn much.

꧁༺ Panel 7 ༻꧂

Bhavya: Um, yes, I just... [Laughs] Kwinn seems very interesting, and I thought it was very sweet of Ximin to try to calm me down.

꧁༺ Panel 9 ༻꧂

Kwinn: I don't think this place is haunted, no, but I saw an opportunity with the rain. You know, cleanse yourself, clean your spirit.

꧁༺ Panel 10 ༻꧂

Styvie: Oh, goodness! No, I didn't see that! But I do agree we should come into this house with clean spirits, although I'm not sure naked and rain are the way to do it.

꧁༺ Panel 11 ༻꧂

Jett: [Groans] Yes, I saw it all. Humans are strange.

꧁༺ Panel 12 ༻꧂

꧁༺ Panel 13 ༻꧂

꧁༺ Panel 14 ༻꧂

Kwinn: It's hard to say. Using my "ablities," I'd say everyone seems fairly okay. I'll probably keep an eye on Jett, though, I'm a little worried they don't really know what's going on. Oh, and Styvie seemed pretty tense, but who knows.

꧁༺ Panel 15 ༻꧂

Ezekiel: Meh, it's been a day. Everyone seems cool. No one's really talked or opened up yet... I mean, other than Kwinn, I hope they keep their clothes on.

꧁༺ Panel 16 ༻꧂

Ximin: I am so excited to be here! Holy Christ, did you see the turntable in the living room?! It plays serious vinyls! Oh, and there's this sick dance floor in the yard. If I could figure out how to get cell service out here, we could have one hell of a rager. I wonder if we could get a DJ table out there that'd be sick. Oh, but what if it rained?

꧁༺ Panel 17 ༻꧂

Jett: Everybody seems nice, I haven't had much interaction with anyone yet. I did get to know more about Kwinn than I imagined I would. I do hope to get to know everyone a normal amount, however, especially Bhayva...

꧁༺ Panel 18 ༻꧂

Bhavya: Well, I'm a little... Apprehensive about Styvie, I get the feeling she's unease around a werewolf being here, I hope that doesn't affect much, but I suppose that's up to her. I think Ximin's a sweetheart, though, he seems like he's gonna be a lot of fun. I'm also really interested in hearing more about where Jett's from.

꧁༺ Panel 19 ༻꧂

Styvie: There's a lot of energy going on, I think it's going to take a minute for everyone's to mix together and settle... Though Jett, their aura is so clean! And I can tell Ezekiel is much kinder than he wants us to know. Kwinn... There's something about them I feel they might be hiding. I'm also a tad worried about Bhavya, I'm a little skeptical. I know werewolves aren't the biggest fans of vampires. My father always made sure I knew the stories, so there's something in the air there that we are just going to have to becautious of.
