..Zypher. Nice to..uh. Meet you..!

and the..other one..

A relatively short guy who looks like he doesn't even want to be here emerges from a conveniently placed, grey wall that really, really looks like it was just put down there.

The air gets warmer in his mere presence, his fiery tail flickering and swishing in the..somewhat..dark?

Hey, uh..you got any food?

Um.. I don't.. no? Where...?? I live here, I shouldn't be wondering about anything anymore. I think there should be some around the circus! Like eh.. theres that castle place nearby.. I think it has food. Haven't really been there, I probably should at some point-

*However, I will ask. Why did you just. Appear from that wall??*

Is it a wall..?

*It's a wall.*

[one-missing-musketeer]

Euurrhhh..probably? As far as I remember, I just woke up in a cave with my boyfriends, and..that's it.

He shrugs.

[one-missing-musketeer]

..Circus? What circus?

He seemed..genuinely confused, scratching his head and looking back at the wall. You could've sworn you saw someone poking their head out and pulling back once the man had noticed them.

You mean that big ol' colorful tent somewhere 'round here with all the people coming from it?

...Don't worry about the wall.

Baka!

…..wut?

………..

Who was that?

[one-missing-musketeer]

….

I could really fuck up some cheese right now.

Alchemist looks at Avian from over their shoulder before returning back to their work. Blaze is not here.

..

aHEM—

Alchemist turns back to Avian again.

What.

I said I could REALLY fuck up some cheese right now..

Avian crosses his arms.

I’ont got cheese, Esty..

Uuuuugghh!! This cave is so boring! What’s a home without good food?!

..Let me guess. Not a-

NOT A HOME!

Yeesh.,

[one-missing-musketeer]

*Merry christmas! Someone has dropped off something in the middle of the night… *

*ALCHEMIST!!!! YOU GET... AN ALCHEMY SET!!! One for little kids. Though you'll probably be able to make it more. If you do want something else tho, your present also has a very large sweater.*

*AVIAN!!! You get a wing brush to help with preening and dealing with bad stuff in the feathers. And also a very large sweater (with holes for the wings)*

*AND FINALLY ZYPHER!!! You get a swiffer wet jet!!!! Get to cleaning, bitch boy. Oh yeah, you also get your sweater.*

*You all share a cake between you guys. Happy holidays!!!*

Alchemist looks away from his work, staring at the measly alchemy set.

Mmmhmmm.. Making crystals, you say? We'll see about that..

Of course THEY'RE awake out of the three.. The snatch up the box and sweater, skittering back to it's corner of the cave.

.....

.,..........

Blaze and Avian snuggle closer to eachother..

[one-missing-musketeer]

He closes his eyes, smiling.

AGGRESSIVE KNOCKING

@one-missing-muskateer

...After a long second...

He kicks the door closed behind him just to grab a blanket and wrap it around Alchemist. Where have you even been, Alchyy? I swear you just decide to hibernate sometimes!!

[one-missing-musketeer]

'M better nowww..

Alchemist moves to rest his head on Dialtone's lap.

(What are you two doing here?? I was hunting for dinner and wasn't expecting anyone to be around here...)

-- @anonthropod

............

What's it saying?

Blaze shrugs.

[one-missing-musketeer]

(It scuttles down from the roof, and onto the floor with the two. It "Stands" by raising its upper half, bringing it to around the height of them.)

'Shuhcgh. ('Sup.)

-- @anonthropod

...........

fearful waving

[one-missing-musketeer]

That's fine. Alchemist doesn't need an escape, neither do they want one.

Mmmff..'m sorryy..I'unno what even happeneeeddd..

Alchemist leans into his touch, smiling warmly.

I missed yoouuu..

[one-missing-musketeer]

Hiiii..ii.i

Poor thing's shaking like a leaf. There is snow in their hair.

Alchemist snuggles up to him, giggling like a toddler.

(The scuttling gets closer, and closer, until suddenly... It stops.)

..........

And Blaze was the first to look up!

GAH-WHERE'D—BIG BUG!!

He backed away from the spot it was on the ceiling. Avian followed. He's not making the same mistake of looking up, but—

Aaand Avian looked!

HOLY SHIT��THAT IS BIG!

[one-missing-musketeer]

[Oooo nice]

[So is it just these 3 you'll be rp'ing with for now then or?]

skeleton's there too.... and so is mage but she's kinda. Kinda out of it rn. Still feeling the effects of the internet if you get me

[one-missing-musketeer]

(The scuttling's getting closer...)

(It's breathing and seems to be... Speaking to itself? The words are too garbled and quiet to make out at the moment, however.)

…ʜʜϱǝǝɒʜ ʜϱυɒ ʜϱϱɒǝʜW …ʜϱϱʜʜH

Blaze and Alchemist are still spitting their shit—

SHIT—I FORGOT ABOUT—

Alchemist suddenly gets up, scampering out of the cave.

What—...

..Avian and Blaze give eachother a funny look.

.......His memory was always ass—

Do you hear that?

Huh?

[one-missing-musketeer]

(There's distant scuttling coming from around the area, seemingly coming from a large creature...)

-- @anonthropod

Blaze and Alchemist are too busy chatting their asses off to catch onto it.

..

Avian perks up, looking around and folding his wings.
