Hey guys… sorry again for the silence of the last two months. My head is a little better and honestly I think for the better of everyone, I’m going to restart my blog. It’s been around for what… 2-3 years now? I think? I think it’s time I cleaned up house and retried my threads and everything. Start fresh. I just need to feel as though that I can try again without feeling too overwhelmed and I think I’m going to become super selective. Because I just need to feel as though that I have SOME sort of place in the RPC and feel as though that my hard work for Drake means something.

Meaning I’m going to actually work my hardest on not just following everyone (I’m breaking my own rules of being selective anyway lmao) but, yeah… fresh start new me. Today’s my birthday so, I had time to think. New clean slate. I love you guys and if you want my new URL feel free to message me. I’ll be following people on my new blog I completely trust (meaning close friends) so, sorry again for the new privacy. I won’t be sharing the new blog. I’ll be archiving this blog soon. I’ll be working on the new blog this weekend. So, I’ll announce when I archive. Again sorry for the silence only for me to archive.

"Yeah, yeah! Les'go to it! I'm starvin'!" Drake beamed. There wasn't anything left for him here anyway. He's spent SO much time trying to forget his past and forget what he's been through. He just... he just hoped that Danny wouldn't become in the crossfire of the bad people finding them. That was the last thing that Drake wanted was the ONE good thing that he had here to be ripped and torn away. Drake is INCREDIBLY lucky to have met Danny. Drake would turn his gaze to Danny, listening intently. So... they reached out to him? How... noble.

"I'm glad they chose you! I uh... don' loike it in there." Drake turns his gaze to the staggering three story building. The children were always housed on the second floor and the third was mostly meant for the employees. Drake never went up there. Never had a reason to, anyway. Drake would feel his stomach growling. When's the last time he's had REAL, GENUINE food in his system? Drake felt like his stomach could crawl out of his gut if it wanted to.

"I can't wait to eat though! They always make dumb food in there." Drake pouted playfully. Heavens Heed is more or less your historical town. Mostly old shops and connivence stores and motels down the road. Drake wondered what kind of ride that Danny came in with. Drake didn't expect it to be anything fancy... or at least he hoped. Drake tended to be wary of the attention he got. So, to be 'spoiled' like this was a little uneasy for him.

"That's a great name."

His heart was soaring, to see a child so happy. He'd missed out on his opportunity to have children within the foreseeable future, or so he'd thought. He hadn't met a Miss Right. Or a Mr. Right, for that matter. Whether or not it was a natural birth would depend on a potential wife's decision. He himself, he wanted to adopt. Show love to a child who didn't have anyone to love them.

Maybe that was why, when such a strong grip was on his wrist, he didn't mind in the slightest. Drake's smile, the joy in his voice. It was making his heart burst with care.

"They reached out to me. They wanted to hold a talent competition, and it was supposed to have a big star. I guess they chose me, because I do a lot of volunteer work. I perform for children in hospitals, and I perform at orphanages for free. The opportunity to see the passion in children was something I couldn't resist, so I accepted their offer. Who would have thought I'd find such a passionate kid?"

Children often didn't have true passion for a single thing just yet. They were so young, they had so many things open to them. But Danny had known what he wanted, he had passion since he could walk. And he sensed that passion in Drake. The other kids were having fun, but they lacked the passion. Fun was what was most important! But passion was what separated the great from the stars.

"There's this great diner just around the corner. I found it during my first few days here, they have all kinds of stuff! Then we can go to the hotel, and... well, do whatever you want! We can always start tutoring tomorrow, it's already late afternoon now."

[stormcried-a]

I think what scares Drake the MOST about finding new family is history repeating itself. He's AFRAID of the bad people finding him, ripping apart what GOOD he does have AGAIN. Or, that he would use his powers again in a heat of a moment and hurt someone or worse. That's why Drake tends to shun himself away at the orphanage. Make him less appealing. Away from the other kids. Away from other adults. He spends pretty much 90% of his time in the forest, and if he IS at the orphanage, he's mostly eating. Even if the adults don't care to feed him as he hasn't 'earned it'.

Did she not want it? Maybe she just wasn't hungry. Drake figured he might as well put it away for now. He'd feed the fishes before he left the area. Drake would notice her voice was... strained when saying her name. Was it because she barely understood English? Or was it because her full name was hard to say? Who knew? Drake puts away the baggie of toast back into his pocket and sits down next to the creek. When she pressed her incredibly large finger against his chest, after saying her name, the child got the memo.

"O-Oh! My name is Drake! Drake Conningway. Uh... Drake might be easier to say, hehe." Drake pointed his finger back to Tidal mimicking her motions of saying his name to her. "You're... a real dragon? I-I didn' think that they were real! M'mama always used t'tell me tha' dragons always breathed fire n'stuff." He hoped he wasn't suggesting that SHE do it. It would set the forest on fire if that happened!

Tidal cooed when he laughed. It was a sweet sound! She tilted her head when he offered her more food. She knew some words. Some. The boy said "last". Did he not have anymore? She didn't want him to go hungry! Tidal brushed her nose against his side, paying the toast no mind. The child was her main interest.

"Ti... dal..." She gave her name. She said it slowly. Tidal made a questioning sound, and gingerly prodded his chest with a finger. Her head tilting to one side. Tidal understood the concept of names. She also knew that people who wanted to be friends shared names. Would this little one understand what she was asking?

[stormcried-a]

You guys have NO idea how much I love it when Drake plays with kids around his age. Like.. just nine year old Drake without a care in the world having the forest as his oyster. I think that's why I love the addition of the forest because Drake has somewhere he can be himself and introduce people to his special spot. It doesn't matter how many times I write it, his special spot is part of his lore story as far as bringing his stuffed animal to it or bringing the small little fishes his toast, he finds the little things in the forest his sanctuary.

And then bringing kids his age or just anyone in general to it fills him with pride. It's all like 'haha! This is my discovery, but I wanna share it with you too! :D"

[stormcried-a]

the young prince comes at the boy in a doggish sort of way ; going into a play bow as his little tuft of a tail starts wiggling excitedly. this creek is so pretty and clean today !! will drake play with him ?

Of course he will! Drake would absolutely love to play with Bambi! Drake doesn't have anyone else to play with some Drake is outed as a weirdo, so... Bambi being his only friend seemed to be fate telling Drake "Be a child again, go to your hearts content." And so, Drake playfully run along with Bambi, his smile seemed so genuine and unburdened. Drake's dark blue eyes seemed to keep watch of Bambi as the river coated around his legs dampening him in cold. Drake didn't seem to mind at all. The fishes would instantly swim away in fear of being swept aside. "C'mon! Let's play in the creek! Sun's really nice out! HEE HEE!"

[stormcried-a]

"The... Void..?" That was SERIOUSLY the ONLY thing he's concerned about? If he's not part of the staff... then was he here to adopt the children? That's the only thing that Drake could conjure up. If people didn't like being around him then... he could understand what it's LIKE to be a freak. What it was like to be talked about and shunned. Drake had TRIED to make friends earlier, but they didn't seem interested with the kid who could make snow happen inside of his room in the early summer. People STILL talked about that.

Though, Lupin seemed trustworthy even if he ISN'T supposed to be here. Drake would weakly smile and nods in agreement to keeping a secret. "Uh-Huh! I can keep a secret! I have my own secret I have to keep too. Cause... people would be afraid of me if they found out.. uh.. I guess they kinda are afraid of me cause of what I did." Drake laughed timidly. "B-But it wasn' nothin' bad!" Drake tries to add as if to solidify that Drake CAN be trustworthy.

The void... huh. What a quaint name. Drake would prefer Lupin. It gives a sense of familiarity. Humanly qualities. Drake wasn't sure if he could remember calling Lupin 'The Void' all the time. It would make Drake feel bad that he wasn't calling him by his real name. Drake wondered... "Wanna go out into th' forest? I can show you m'special spot!" Drake hoped he would agree. Not like the staff here would actually MISS Drake being gone.

The night was slowly drawing in; he could tell by the way that the temperature had dropped by a few degrees and how the shadows had seemed to multiply since the last time he had looked in their direction yet his mismatched-colored eyes remained shrouded behind his dark-tinted sunglasses as he tapped his phone screen with a long black fingernail to make it light up just so he could see the time, which read 18:15 pm in purple luminous writing. It was a lot earlier than he thought it was but it did explain why the full moon wasn't up yet.

His lips curve downwards into a frown when he sees what he assumes to be a small, human child walking up to him and he slips his phone back into his coat's pocket to give him his undivided attention. He was a curious little thing; he would give him that and brave to interact with a dark-clothed entity who practically towered over him like one of the tallest trees in the forest. 'That is because I am not one of the employees here, and I am used to people not liking me being around. It has actually become my specialty to be the most unpopular person around. ❜ He crouches down in front of him to make himself look less foreboding and offers him a blackberry boiled sweet wrapped in a clear plastic wrapping. ❛ I was thinking of exploring the forest but I want to wait until nightfall, as that is when all the nocturnal creatures come out, like foxes. Do you like foxes? ❜ He felt it was only fair to be completely honest with him after he had kindly told him his name. ❛My name is Lupin or the void if you prefer and I find that hard to believe, Drake, because you seem pleasant to me. I also don't detect any badness in you. Would you like to hear a secret? You must promise not to tell anyone about it first, as it needs to stay strictly between us. Can you do that for me? ❜

[stormcried-a]

It wasn't like Drake OWNED the forest. He hoped he wasn't portraying that he was. But nobody else knew about it. That is what made it so 'special' for Drake to know he could be here in solace and in peace away from the bullies he dealt with. Away from the cranky, old ladies that tended to harsh and resentful of Drake. Drake had a place where he could just... be.

A place where he could take in nature. A place where he could play around to be a child. A child who's had his original life ripped away from what he once knew. Memories seemed to seep into each other. Mixing together what his life was now and what used to be. Drake had believed that he would one day find a new home. A new family. A new... place to hope that things would get better. He still feared that he would hurt his new family if it ever came down to it.

That's why he came here and practiced his powers so it WOULDN'T ever happen again. But even now... he still had no inkling on how to really control his abilities. He's just so used to conjuring water and ice. Super powers? No. He'd rather call it something mystical like magic. Like in the fairytales he used to be read when he was a toddler. Drake sits himself down onto the grass at the edge of the little river. Small fish seeming to greet Drake upon realizing their 'savior' had come back to feed them.

"W-would you wanna feed them with me? I'm sure they'd like it." Drake tries to offer to the stranger. Drake wondered... is this how he made new friends? By sharing moments like these? Drake hoped that Calcifier would humor Drake in feeding the little fish pieces of toast with peach jam smeared on the bread. It wasn't crispy or hot... just... bread now.

Calcifer enjoys the quietness of the forest. it brings him a sense of serene peace that he rarely feels when in the city. as much as he loves being part of the city, he loves the forest more. it reminds him of when he was a boy and used to explore the woods during the day while the rest of the kids were out playing or doing chores- he always found a way to escape into the woods. he never encountered anything scary, but even then, he remained a predator that many beings feared- most animals kept their distance, even then. but then again, maybe that’s what happens when you’re a pyromaniac and light things on fire for no reason. he had a bad habit of setting things on fire in the woods- he always stomped it out and made sure it didn’t get crazy, and he would never burn down the trees or the foliage, but there were things that he’d burn, just to set his little pyro heart ablaze. now, he doesn’t need to do that as much- he sets bigger, better things on fire and he doesn’t go to the woods to find solace in the flame.

however, as he’s sitting there, overlooking the stream, he hears a voice speaking up behind him and turns his head to gaze at the boy that’s greeted him. he cocks his head to the side in curious wonder. who let their child out into the woods ?? don’t they know it’s dangerous ?? he licks his lips and exhales a calming breath as a smile breaks out across the vampire’s face. “this is your spot?” he repeats, tasting the words on his lips. “it’s a nice spot, i can see why you like it.” Calcifer would never harm a child- he’d never even dream of it, but scaring them was a different thing. nonetheless, he had no intention of scaring this boy away from his spot. instead, he turns back towards the stream and watches as a fish jumps up in the air and back down in the water below. “don’t worry, i won’t tell anyone about your secret spot. you can go ahead and feed the fish. i won’t disturb you.” yet he makes no motion to stand up- remaining where he’s seated on the grassy foliage.

[stormcried-a]

He stares... and he stares at the sudden voice that approached the corner of the kitchen. Drake wasn't sure if he should just bolt it. Screw the food and drink that was next to him. What he had THOUGHT was a person is instead a large, robotic bunny that was about... 6-7 feet tall? He thinks? Everything is gigantic to him anyway. Drake swallows the bite of food in his throat and begins to stagger to his feet ready to run around the corner in order to escape.

The only issue? His shoulder wound wasn't exactly going to help itself considering that Drake didn't HAVE anywhere else to run besides the Pizza Plex. "Pl-please don't tell anyone.." Drake meekly pleaded with Bonnie, his grip on the counter near the oven tightened. Drake looked horrible. He hasn't bathed in quite some time, neither has he ate in a bit which is why he was so determined to finish his food.

But, Drake was worried that Bonnie would tell the employees that Drake is a street rat is in the kitchen STEALING their supplies. It made Drake worry that he'd be kicked out and essentially sent to his death. Drake's eyes were BEGGING for Bonnie to not say anything to anyone.

It was almost funny how the mall could make Bonnie feel more alone after closing even if it was just the animatronics and the security guard. Something about the big now empty space was made under his blue plating itch and twitch in almost indescribable ways. Freddy and Chica’s presences were helpful for it buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutt….he hasn’t run into either tonight. So it was time for plan B.

Going for a walk till he felt less like a twitchy Easter Bunny who’s gone and eaten all the chocolate eggs. 

And that was how Bonnie found himself wandering by the kitchen, and found himself being drawn closer by the sounds of someone scavenging. A sigh as he makes his way inside expecting a familiar feathered  sight. 

“Chica hun, you know you're not supposed ta-.”

A surprised blink once he turns the corner, having to look down at a kid instead of up at the chicken he had been expecting. Metallic ears going up with an almost comical ping.

A kid….A kid?

What in the faz -.
