#thread 16

The well dressed tailor found himself out at night. Well fed from the newly made corpse the other night by Wolfwood - accidental murder is a thing he had to explain - he felt himself better. To bite a living being was still horrific, but human blood didn't have him screaming in horror.

However, here he found himself in the arms of another chaotic event. These people really did enjoy their parties. Over and over and over they find themselves in celebration. It was... Nice.

His nose twitches, head swiveling instantly to seek out black with the flare of wings, maybe the custom made jacket he'd sewn. When chasing the scent, he tracked it to a redhead, eyes trained up on the dazzling display of fireworks. The cigarettes smelt like the type Nicholas used, said he'd given a pack to some random the day he accidentally unalived his last meal.

Long red hair, cigarette, smell of Nai and-

Red eyes glinted with pure evil delight. He inched closer, drinking in the other's scent from behind. Yes, there was Legato as well. their new roommate as of late, the man he had yet to meet face to face.

A blip on his phone as he was out with his sweet Gato. Tension coiled in his veins, shooting up his spine. It wasn't wrong, a duplicate, no, there was no history with the new one.

Whatever you do, don't upset Legato.

So, the old contact was the one he now new, which meant....

The Plant was moving before he could think, leach clipped to his hip but he doesn't think, doesn't check she's following, just moves. Where did he arrive? He spoke to Nicholas, Astarion and even Legato, they all arrived in the same place.

He was going to throw up, to panic. He'd avoided when he saw Vash's name - he knew how horrible that was - but this name...

He rounded the corner, looking up the path to the tower. He didn't have his powers - didn't want many of them - nor could he sense like Legato, but the air hang thick with scents he knew. Following them, he felt his anxiety grow, feathers forming on his cheeks, down his spine, sitting awkwardly in his clothes as he swore the scent got stronger and stronger.

There. Padding around almost lost, he held his breath, stepping into view.

"Nicholas D. Wolfwood?" His voice sounded... Hopeful, eyes tearing up as he saw the figure very clearly moving. Dead, perhaps before, but alive once more.

"I-I'm not here to harm you, here." He scrambles to unsheath the knife at his thigh, throwing it towards the other with a limp wrist, a weapon between them for the other to grab. "I.... I am so glad they chose you." Knees hit the ground, lowering his position to offer the other power and control, something he'd once commanded of others he gave so freely.

He unclipped the leash then, gently nudging the pup, ushering her to run off, though she barely went out of arms reach of him, eyeing the new man warily.

"Please, before you run, hear me out?" Never before did he sound so desperate, so eager to be at someone's mercy.

The stranger looks around the entire setting, taking it all in. It is surely opulent, surely the dream that makes wearing a mask well worth the admission, but beyond that, there's a different question this person seems to hold.

The only hint to where this person looks is the tilt of their head. They stare up, but do they truly see what lies up there?

“What happened to your face?”

“Oh no, did I get something on it?” 

Jody said, though sarcastically in a tone that sounded a little more... snide than his usual gentle voice. Hands reach up to touch his pale, gaunt face, hands with black thing smoke billowing from them as he made a show of wiping at his mouth.

“Is it gone?” He asked, then smiled, though it was less smile and more of a sneer. He moved closer to Fawn, dark blankened eyes focused on them.

Dhani had been feeling a bit out of sorts since Halloween. Turning into a wolf had been... a kind of thrill that he missed. But a thrill he was sure he didn’t want to be permanent. It seemed too complicated. He felt bad, especially in light of what Kylie had just gone through, to think that way.

Speaking of out of sorts... Dhani watched Keith pass him and head towards his office. Dhani got up from the booth, catching up on homework before his shift started and followed Keith.

“Hey, boss, you got a minute?” Dhani asked but only after entering the office. He stood in the doorway, ready to clear out if Keith was not in the mood.

“Don’t look!”

Jody turned away as soon as he was told... but it didn’t make what he did see all that much better. But Wade was his friend. A good friend... He owed him the chance to explain. Jody took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, but his hands still shook with the shock of the sight of him. He kept his back to Wade.

“I meant sooner here, but... Why do you think I wouldn’t like you in earlier years? You’re wonderful company, Wade...” Jody chuckled, looking genuinely curious.

“Um...”

Jody had just gone for a walk in the woods and while he knew the waterfall was a frequent gathering place, the expectation of joining in the fun while being there was one he generally avoided. He hadn’t heard any one chatting or splashing about. Evidently he was wrong. 

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to intrude.”
