a moment passes by spent solely in confusion  --     a monster that  didn’t  want to consume her flesh on sight , now that  was  a strange find . still , she doesn’t take the words of a vampire at face value and keeps up her defensive stance , kunai at the ready .  “  that’s just what you want me to think ,  ”  she retorts , glancing up and down the well dressed stranger . she knows where that path leads  :  she lowers her guard , he moves in , she’s dead . definitely  not  the worst way to go , but the timing is a little off .  “  i don’t plan on dying just yet ,  bats  --  ”  vampires  did  turn into bats , right  ?  “  so you’d better not come to close . these knives ain’t just any ol’ metal you’d find lying around .  ”  an obvious bluff , but she’s not going to admit her weapons are  useless  against his kind .

( 🐰 ) || He was no more than 13 when he first encountered a demon.

The boy was scared, the sounds of screaming and the smell of blood startling him from his slumber. He clambered out of bed and down the stairs, having to cautiously step over what had seemed like an odd lump upon one of the steps (which turned out to be a corpse) on his way down to avoid tripping and falling.

Due to the cover of night, Oz could barely make out what was going on, though a pair of eyes watching him from afar had certainly caught his attention for the time being.

( 🐰 ) || "Hello? Who's there?" He called out into the night, the walls of the main hallway giving off a small echo.

( 🎩 ) || "Master Oz!" Gilbert cried out, arms wrapping around Oz as a breath of relief parted his lips. "I'm so glad you're safe! That monster killed Missus Kate!"

( 🐰 ) || Emerald eyes widened upon hearing that news, and Oz attempted to push his attendant away as he turned to head back up the stairs. "What? Impossible! Has it gotten to Ada yet?"

( 🎩 ) || "I think your sister's fine, now come on! We have to escape this place before that thing eats us, too!"

( 🐰 ) || And the two of them raced out the front door and into the night, though Oz couldn't help but feel that same burning gaze watching him from afar. He wondered if Gil had sensed it, too. 🌙 unprompted // @dollmuses​ // always accepting!

EVEN AS SHE SPENT DECADES AMONG TEMPLE’S FOLLOWERS, Kokushibo did not truly feel much affection for humans. An odd sort of almost-fondness for those within her husband’s cult, of course, but the rest? Her hunger drove her most, seeking to satisfy that appetite, the need to eat, and little thought were given to them beyond that.

Not unless they proved interesting enough. Such a thing were rare. Humans never really changed at all, and Kokushibo felt she had seen most of whatever they had to offer.

She sees the two flee. It could prove troublesome, if unwanted attention were drawn...

Decision made simply. Two more would not hurt, two more would mean little when the rest of them had already fallen.

Kokushibo walks silently, though she is not perfectly hidden--her eyes and skin glow softly in the moonlight, eyes that watch panicked heart beats like the flutter of a rabbit’s heart. There is no need to hide, they don’t seem to have noticed her yet.

There isn’t a need to hurry, or to view them any differently. Perhaps it would be kinder to finish this quickly; she held no interest in dragging out hunts. There’s only so much time before the sun rises once more.

“--you needn’t run further.”

As if she were giving them permission to stop, distance closing between them.

“I would advise you not to get too close, if you value your hair or clothes. Some of these chemicals are highly corrosive.”

She said that... And yet, the blonde didn’t seem to be dressed for the occasion. Well, she was wearing a lab coat... But there was quite a lack of safety gloves, or other equipment. And still, she was handling the vials of chemicals with ease, examining each one closely and taking notes.

“Just give me one moment... I’ll be right with you.”

As she finished speaking, the young woman started to close up the vials within the rack, humming quietly as she did so. She handled each one with care, closing them all up and putting them away. She then put her notes on a shelf, which seemed to have notes and books on a variety of subjects, before turning to the stranger with a smile.

@dollmuses​ asked: "I have... No clue how I got here." (Richard III to anyone !!) 

“Well, most dorothy’s don’t know how they got to the land of oz but...” The gatekeeper is hesitant, if only slightly. He doesn’t deal with the Dorothy’s alot besides giving them passes for the city.

“I’m more curious on how you landed on the wall!” The gatekeeper said, gesturing to where they were now, on top of the tall wall that surrounded the small city. “No one but me and a few guards know how to get up here - did you just land here? Curious landing spot, you could have easily fallen off!” He opens a hatch near him and motions for the other to follow.

8. Favorite BGM/vocal track?

Oz tugs at her robes and makes grabby hands. "Mama! Mama! Can you pick me up?" 🌙 unprompted // @dollmuses​ 

AND SHE SMILES WITH SOME AMUSEMENT, but granted...the past few months, she hadn’t been able to do such things so easily, when she still carried her children. Perhaps Oz were a little touch starved, in a way?

But Doma’s healing allowed Kokushibo to regain her strength more easily, and she’s able to lift Oz and set him upon a hip without much trouble.
