The Dusk Tavern (Crossover rp)

Sky's eyes widened in fascination as the cat in front of him morphed into a human teenage boy. He did not seem threatening at all, so the child stayed where he was after standing back up. "Oh... you're human!"

Blake raised an eyebrow at the boy who was a white cat just a second ago, surprised, but at this point, finding it believable considering everything else that had happened to them throughout the day.

"You're a... cat shifter..." the cryokinetic observed, before shaking his head. "Whatever. You said he had a problem with 'our kind', yet he's trying not to hurt us? That makes no sense."

Sky tugged on his brother's sleeve, an idea coming to mind. "What if he's like Azzurra? Maybe he can suddenly turn evil too."

Blake thought back to his sister, to Rossa. Sky had a point, but he would wait for the telepathic cat shifter to confirm it. He let out a sigh. "You know Sky, I like how you can make me seem like an idiot at times."

"I'm sorry..."

"No, keep doing that. You're a bright kid," Blake simply stated, before turning back to the cat-shifting telepath. "So is that true? Does your friend have some savage, bloodthirsty side too?"

If it was true, Blake hoped that he could get some clue as to how they could get Azzurra back.

Yes, I can talk, well with my mind at least, but worry about that later. Just don't go in there.

"That voice again, it's not going away," Blake groaned, shaking his head. "It's official, I'm losing it..."

Sky tensed up as he too, heard it in his head this time. "Wait, the one telling us not to go in? I'm hearing it too! You're not crazy."

"Well then, what the blazes is going on here?" The elder demanded.

The boy examined the cat again, and after pondering over its strange behavior, he let out a gasp, his eyes lighting up as he came to a realization.

"It was you, wasn't it?" Asked Sky, addressing the cat directly.

Blake stared at his brother as if he was the crazy one now. "You're not serious, are you? Sky, you're talking to a cat."

"I know, but it makes sense. It really does!"

The teenager rubbed the bridge of his nose in frustration. "I don't believe this... Fine, ask it something then. I need to stop this bleeding."

Blood soon stopped flowing from Blake's wound, although it would take some time to heal completely. He removed the ice and pulled his sleeve back down as he watched his brother try to communicate with the animal. Well, there was no better way to end a crazy day like the one they had just gotten through than with a possibly telepathic cat.

Stroking the cat's head again, Sky then spoke. "Why shouldn't we go in there? What's happening inside?"

@Letmehaveone2 Just to confirm, is it only Blake who can hear Juno's message in your last post, or can the both of them hear it?

Sky watched his brother's wound as the latter tried to stop the bleeding, but he was quickly distracted when the same white cat he had seen earlier walked right up to them, this time, without the man it was with. The boy crouched down to stroke the animal as it sniffed him, curious of its intention.

You might wanna get rid of that a little faster.

Blake's head immediately snapped up at that sudden... whatever that was that he was somehow able to comprehend. That thought was most definitely not his own. Was all they had been through starting to take a toll on his sanity? Because it sure seemed like he was beginning to hear voices in his head.

"What's wrong?" Sky asked in concern, noticing his brother's anxiousness.

"Nothing," Blake curtly replied, shaking his head. He then continued in a softer tone. "I just hope I'm not going mad, that's all."

Sky shifted his attention back to the cat, finding its behavior to be rather strange. He usually had no problem winning over the affection of animals, but this particular cat would not take its focus off of his brother.

"I think it's worried about you, Blake," the child concluded.

"The cat is- Sky, I'm having a hard time convincing myself that I'm not crazy. Please, don't say things like that right now."

"No, but really," Sky protested, looking back at the cat. "This is so weird. I wonder where its owner is."

Sky of course, referred to the earlier long-haired man as the cat's 'owner', considering that he had no idea that the 'cat' he was stroking was not an actual cat.

To say that she was surprised by Silas' sudden tone of urgency would be an understatement, though, there was no time to actually address that as Vera felt herself virtually being dragged down her suggested path by her wrist a split second later.

"Ow! Hey! Not so- We still can't see very well. Wait- What if we trip over something?! Silas!"

Vera wondered what had gotten into her companion. Perhaps he simply want to finish the run quick after being told the way to the fountain, or maybe he was running from those two seniors for some reason. They had been running for some time, and from the way he seemed to be slowing to a stop, again for no obvious reason, she expected that she would be hearing some sort of explanation from him soon.

Considering she was hardly the athletic type, Vera found herself having to take a couple of deep breathes to recover from the unexpected sprint, speaking up again after he had let go of her. "What in the world was that all ab-"

"First of all, that guy was lying. A thorn bush is not enough to cut you up like that. Another thing... are we going to look for the Headmaster, or are we just going to continue the run and help out if we find him?"

Vera took a moment to process everything that he had just said before responding. "Well, I was kind of under the impression that him saying 'thorn bush' was merely a trivialization of something else that could actually, you know, cause damage like that. I didn't think of it that way, but you could be right too. Regarding finding the headmaster, well, we don't even know where we are right now, do we? Our best chance is to follow this path to the fountain anyway and see what happens from there. I recall him saying 'if' we find the headmaster, meaning that probably nobody actually knows where he is."

Her eyes then lit up at a sudden realization. "Oh, could that have been hint that the headmaster is at the fountain? In that case, we should be really careful when, and if we make it there."

Not a word was said as the brothers strode closer to the strange building, until they passed by a long-haired young man with a white cat on his shoulder. Blake had barely acknowledged them at first, but noticed that they had caught his brother's attention. It was apparent that the boy had taken interest in the animal.

Not wanting to risk any trouble, Blake tugged lightly on Sky's wrist, which he was still holding on to. "Sky, don't stare."

"Sorry..." the child muttered in reply, shifting his gaze to his older brother's hand around his wrist. That was when his eyes widened in dismay as he spotted something wet, and red, running down Blake's arm to his hand.

"B- Blake..."

"What is it?"

"You're... bleeding..."

The elder's head snapped down to look at his wrist, only to find his brother's statement to be true. He immediately let go of Sky's wrist and pushed his own sleeve up, discovering that he had been bleeding from a cut along his forearm, and that the fabric that covered it had also been sliced through. He remembered blocking the very first attack from one of the moving branches in the forest with his arm. That must have been what caused the injury. How had he not noticed it until now? Again, he was probably too caught up in other worries to have realized it. Muttering a curse under his breath, Blake then focused on the wound, forming ice over it in an attempt to stop the bleeding.

The Dusk Tavern (Crossover rp)

@Letmehaveone2 Do any of your characters want to interact with the cryokinetic bros, or shall I just have them move forward to the tavern?
