"Sounds like a plan," Avalon nodded in agreement to the plan, and stood up the moment the train came to their stop. With a soft yawn he got off the train, and headed home in the opposite direction of Jaakuna's house. With a sudden pick up of pace Avalon let loose a wide grin as he headed home for the first afternoon of summer.

(45 Minutes Later)
Click, click, click.
Avalon was whistling his usual soft tune as he headed down the winding road towards the Usual Spot. Now out of his more proper school uniform the red head was now wearing his usual garbs. A red jacket with a white hoodie cloaked his regular black shirt while a regular pair of blue jeans huge onto his legs along with a pair of brown boots. With each step a audible clicking sound could be heard just lightly as his necklaces blue pendants repeatedly bounced of the metal zipper of his jacket a gift from his mother that he treasured. His purple eyes temporarily watched the pendant bounce about as he chuckled remembering how his mom fumbled about trying to make it... crafting was not exactly her strong suit since she was usually working about as a secretary.
"You wish to escape the cycle of a normal life?"
Avalon suddenly paused at the chilling voice in the air... that feeling of being watched it was back... with a vengeance. His whole body froze at the voice as if being gripped by a familiar entity he couldn't deny nor escape. Yet the ability to move slowly returned as he turned his head to his left seeing a brown robbed figure stood not to far away from him wearing what Jaakuna had described as an kitsune mask. The voice was that of a woman's which meant this must have been the person Jaakuna saw. Yet as soon as Avalon blinked she disappeared as if she had never existed in the first place. Regaining his wits Avalon suddenly took in a deep breath realizing he hadn't breathed for the last few seconds.
"Jaakuna's imagination is rubbing off on me," the red head hesitantly chuckled taking a step forward before the voice return.
"I shall indulge your desire then, and give you both a chance to escape the eternal cycle of normality. I simply hope you don't regret it."
Avalon full body turned around trying to find the woman with the kitsune mask yet with every direction their was no sign of life... nobody was their, but him. Avalon felt a cold drop of sweat fall from his brow as he was officially freaking out. Standing still for a whole minute to make sure he wasn't going crazy he felt his heartbeat return to normal. Once satisfied with the fact that he was just imagining the whole thing due to Jaakuna saying something about a abnormal woman he finally loosened up, and started to bolt for the Usual Spot not wanting to be proven wrong that everything that had just happen hadn't just been in his head.

Once Avalon arrived to the "secret" entrance he mumbled a hello to the other occupants before plopping lifelessly to the couch causing Olette to release a small yelp as his body caused her to bounce in her seat. Hayner, and Pence raised a eyebrow at their friend's strange unenergetic entrance. "Are you alright Avalon," Olette asked a little concerned as she tilted her head to try, and make eye contact with him.
"Just peachy... a little tired, but okay. So is Jaakuna here? To worned out from running to lift my face," he responded causing Hayner, and Pence to chuckle a bit as they shrugged off the odd behavior as fatigue.
