[color=92278f][center][b][h2]Aelia Stark[/h2][/b][/center][/color] One of her tails twitched slightly, and she raised a brow at Erick. So... she should think about not having the tails and ears? Aelia closed her eyes, imaging herself without the extra appendages spurting forth from her body. But the harder she struggled to envision herself in such a state, the more she realized that she [i]did[/i] have ears and tails. It stressed her out, and she found herself looking at Erick with a frustrated expression. Did she really have to go out like this? Her furry tails weren't going anywhere anytime soon. [color=92278f][b]"It isn't working,"[/b][/color] Aelia muttered, running a hand through her hair as she stared at him apprehensively. [color=92278f][b]"Maybe it'll... just go away on its own. Like... I can't have tails and ears forever, right? I can't go to school like this..."[/b][/color] The brunette looked away, her face distraught. This was so stressful... it was even making her tails quiver in fright. Perhaps she would stay like that forever. Maybe she would be like one of those man-animal hybrids she read about in those fantasy books... She shuddered, shaking her head as she slunk back onto the couch, wincing momentarily as she sat on one of her tails. Yet, Aelia's eyes remained on Erick. [color=92278f][b]"What now?"[/b][/color] [@Universorum] [center][color=f26522][b][h2]Garrett Fisher[/h2][/b][/color][/center] Two women approached him, both thinking that they were [i]amusing[/i] and speaking to him individually. Garrett simply shot amber-colored glares at both of them, huffing loudly. They really thought that they were smart and funny, right? He rolled his eyes, glancing down at the newspaper again. He pretended to read until they left, and that was when he let out a groan and rested his head on the table in front of him. This had been a bad idea... he had just come in to work and already people were annoying the crap out of him. The black-haired male attempted to regain his bearings and calm down before putting on his apron and making his way out into the diner once more. Garrett glanced around, his eyes clouded and weary, as he struggled to figure out what was going on. [b][color=f26522][b][i]"What is going on here?"[/i][/b][/color][/b] he asked, growling a little as he made his way to Clarice, crossing his arms angrily. [color=f26522][b]"You're supposed to be [i]working[/i], not chatting like some sort of parrot."[/b][/color] [@rivaan] [@Zelosse] [@Eklispe]
