((Now we have a slightly traumatized bird.... kinda.... he can deal! XD))

Pre'acha'n watched the dog walk past, shivering after it was gone. Dog... please, no... I don't wanna play.... He sat down, the door swinging shut as he let go of it. I don't like them, they think I'm something to eat... nice doggy? Please don't eat me...

((I've decided why he fears dogs...hehe))

[[g'night all!]]

((Kage I might be heading to bed soon so maybe you could just check up on Oni and then Sherry n I can finish our convo tomorrow or whatnot. I'll stay on long enough to talk to your character ))

((That leaves who, now?))

(( ok, where is he again? the bath? ))

(( yeah, Dante on the ground, and oni is sitting naked just outside of the tub next to dante. . .who may change into his chibi form, ))

She chuckled, thinking she might just have to tell the boy some tales of all the places she'd been - which was, well, everywhere. When he spoke of lab technicians, she felt slightly guilty. Usually the technology they were using was originally from what little they knew of Atlantian technology. She pondered the consequence of him using the spell, wondering if it would be possible to end her life that way seeing as how it had taken God's intervention to destroy the city of Atlantis and most of its people. Oh well, such deep thoughts could be left for pondering later. Her eyes followed him as he stood. She laughed when he said it'd be fun to talk to her. "Certainly. I welcome such conversations any time." She smiled lightly, "Goodnight then, Rin." Chie inclined her head slightly to the boy, but did not otherwise move. Heh, well it would seem she'd be sleeping outside tonight. Oh well, it wasn't that huge of a deal to her.

{ah! goodnight peoples who are leaving ^-^}

No…No it wasn’t bad at all. Rain murmured a ‘good night’ as the other did so, closing her eyes but not able to sleep for some time. She simply lay there….thankful for the warmth of the other woman. She couldn’t’ help but descend into thought, as she often did, her memories flowing in and out as she tried to piece together her unknown history. She knew enough to know who was coming after her and what he wanted, as well as what he‘d already taken.….but there was still things she dod not…

"You know your more than welcome to using my room Miss chie. It's hardly used by me in any event because I tend to crash out here reading my books every night. It would beat sitting out here all night." Rin stopped himself in mid-sentence. Had he accidently dived into her thoughts just slightly? He knew what it was like to have to sleep without a roof over his body. That was about 60% of his life. Rin started to walk back inside and up the stairs to at least retrive his book it was her choice either way. He paid for the damned thing and the only time he used it was when his body collapsed on him.

A telepath too? She had forgotten to put her guard up since earlier... but, haha, it wasn't that. No, it wasn't that she didn't have a room (although she didn't have one), it was that she couldn't quite stand yet. "Heh, that's not quite it. I just haven't used my abilities in a while..." she muttered quietly after he went through the door. She sighed and stared at the sky. Perhaps in an hour or two she would be able to stand up and go inside to lie on the couch, but for right now she couldn't really move. Sad really, she was well over ten thousand years old and yet she was so rusty with her powers that after only three uses she was tired. Well, she knew if she undid her human appearance she would easily be able to go inside...but it just wasn't worth it.

Rin walked up to his room and grabbed a spare blanket. He then took it back downstairs to her. "I don't read minds I have a defensive capability built into me that does it. That and mana sensory abilities. To answer that question." He picked her up and placed her down on the couch. "However with that I will leave you to get your rest I need my own as well. Don't fall for what everyone else thinks it's not that I'm mean or hateful. I'm just me I suppose." He said with one last laugh heading up the stairs once more.

"No, Oni. I love hugs..." Dante hugged. "It just doesn't mix well with this body." Now it was time to lie out of his teach. "I have... another body. Wanna see?" He chuckled before rubbing his face. "Don't pick on me too much. But... you can hug me all-" Dante whimpered and clutched desperately at his chest as he sat straight up. He nervously went to get to very feet as a gasp opened his lungs wide.

The next thing he knew there was water surrounding him. His closed his eyes, relaxing for a bit before staring up at the surface. He didn't wanted to clothe. He couldn't move. Encasing the now tiny body was a lot of big heavy weighted clothing.

He couldn't breath.

Oni watched as Dante clutched his chest and then. . .disappeared? No there was something in the bathtub. Oni was still really weak but hurried over and desperately to try and pull the thing out of the water. He wasn't having much luck, his arms felt like wet noodles

((sorry so short :( ))

Pre'acha'n huddled on the floor until he heard the washing machine buzz. He snapped his head up, sprinting downstairs to switch his clothing intp the dryer and set it. He sighed, walking back upstairs and to his room, locking the door behind him. Don't want it coming in here... He shivered again, curling up on the bed and passing out, only to dream of when he was a child, unable to fly away from the huge dog that had decided to eat him. Except, instead of his father scaring the dog away, the dog actually caught him.

He writhed in the large clothing, panicking as his lungs burned. Damn it hurt! But he couldn't get free! His clothing was heavy, and the fact that as he struggled he only entangled himself further. He finally couldn't take it, his mouth opening wide and releasing a number of bubbles. Now, he'd just have to resist the urge to breath...

She listened to his explanation when he returned, raising an eyebrow as he spoke. Interesting... Ah, she spied a blanket, how thoughtful. "Well, I am a telepath but -" Her words were cut off as her small body was being lifted into the air. "Ah!" she cried in surprise, looking at his face, startled. He set her down on the couch and left the blanket. Wide red eyes blinked, staring at him still like he was more than just a little odd. Strange man... She listened to him and then watched him go in silence, her eyes following him as he walked up the stairs, and then turned over to her side so that her eyes were staring at the couch's back. "To let myself be carried, how disgraceful..." Chie pouted as she half-glared at the couch, but eventually she closed her eyes and let sleep take her. She'd wonder about his interesting behavior tomorrow...

Ti stared at the chipmunk for a minute longer before hearing splashing coming from the bathroom. "Oni?" he called out, scooping up the chipmunk before standing. The dog went over to the door and scratched at it, whining.

Oni hurried to the door letting Ti in. He was starting to panic and some of his irrational fears were coming back with that panic. "Hurry something happened to Dante and I don't know but I think he's drowning and I can't lift him," he cried out worried Dante would die as well.

( Tiiii~ Dante is currently chibi-... oh... ohhhh... you found out. xD )

Rin walked up to his room and crashed on his bed staring at the celing as his drifted off. ((And I have to be up for work in 4 hours awesome anywho night Chie Ill be around tomorrow))

{haha, night night rin =P lol, I'll be around later today and tomorrow as well...and the next day and the next day xD; lol *chuckles* luckily I just have classes, no work xD}

Ti rushed in, dropping the damp chipmunk in Oni's hands. He looked into the the dog beside him. He stared at the drenched clothes with a confused look, then reached in. He quickly found the small form and grabbed him under the arms. The dog dipped her head into the water and grabbed the back of the shirt as Ti pulled the boy out. He looked at the sputtering child in disbelief.

Oni couldn't believe what he saw. . .it looked like Tir. If it was Tir what had happened to Dante? Still worried no matter which one it was Oni asked Ti, "Is he okay? He won't die will he?" It was strange but Oni felt different around Ti. He kinda wanted to hug him, like for some reason Ti meant things were safe and okay. He placed a hand on Ti and in his mind saw a familiar thread. It was what found him in the dark before. He poked it with his mind curious.

( Ti, I'm so confused. xD It's really shallow bath water, right? Iunno. D= Oh wow. Dante hit the deep end. xD )

( Who's the puppy? I've never met~ o-o )

Dante was clueless as to what happened. The first thing he noticed was the shadows, then it was all the tugged and pulling. Finally, sweet relief. He gasped as he reached the surface of the water, his eyes drooping and his complexion pale.

He was no where near as pale as the man he say before him, though. He was being saved by... that vampire thing. He blinked, then noticed his surprise and grit his teeth. "Tch..." He lowered his head, obviously upset. He wasn't expecting reinforcements... "Y-You found me..." He muttered with a weak laugh. Damn he was unlucky!

Oni felt relief when he heard Tir speak. He flung his arms around Tir and said with panic still somewhat in his voice, "Oh Tir I was so scared you might die. But how did you get here? Do you and Dante teleport each other when your sick or something?"

((Not the brightest crayon in the box. . .but we still love him ))
