"Yes, we have. They demanded possession of the Living List because they didn't want the Queen to get her things. They had terrible manners. Very rude and they were very physical too. It was a good thing the guides came along to save us or we would've been in real bad trouble."

The girl seemed bothered by the experience, but it was understandable. People often balk in the face of aggression; these “Lost Souls” may come from a different world, but at their core Avian believed that they possessed the basest instincts and emotions that every nobody has... But perhaps only that. His exposure to their ilk was relatively thin compared to that of a normal guide’s (for example Cello) so he wasn’t so sure about the spectrum of human emotions, but he heard from someone that these “hommuns” are capable of immense cruelty. Daily gang wars, “nu-clear” bombing, “hom-ee-side”, manslaughter… Here in Nowhere the only creatures up to par to those were the ones in the Dark Side and the closest they got to the aforementioned crimes was the War.

He figured he should say something about the HF too.

“They are a strange lot,” He murmured in agreement as they exited the bedroom, refraining from saying anything more should Jasper take notice of his words. According to Songbird, one of the Lost Souls almost beheaded a tall boy with a cleaver. He would get violet too if someone tried to slice his head off with that, to be honest, so not much sympathy for the blade-toting crazy girl. Nowhere and “Earth” was surprisingly similar in the fact that creatures of the same species warred against each other… And he’d seen his own share of decapitated bodies too. Perhaps this is not the best time to talk about that.

They entered the room and the boy with the glasses, Inadi, drew his sleeve. Avian narrowed his eyes but didn’t poke the issue; the boy was probably just fixing his appearance. Golden pear knows Victoria does that a lot. Anyway… He listened in on the young man’s explanation up to its end with a neutral expression on his face. Hmm, they’ve all garnered a good bit of information about the Midnight Man, but no way to the Stone, it seemed… The dragoon sighed but gave Inadi a warm smile. “Good work,” He said as they left the room, where they met Brandy and Songbird heading up the second floor as well.

Before he could greet the duo, Avian noticed a shimmering beyond and noticed a tail- Ah, Martini! The mermaid was further off the corridor, looking quite panicked as she peeked in from room to room before finally exclaiming “Ah, there you are!” then bubbling in. Looks like some of the humans went over there…

“Let’s meet up with the others to share the information we found,” The soldier noted the guides’ pale faces and the fact that Songbird’s jaw was clenched tightly. “Did you see anything unpleasant?” Avian asked as their group headed after Martini. Before the item hunter could answer their question they were inside the library, where all the other humans were save for…

“Where’s miss Riley? And the one who hugged Temeraire?” Avian questioned as their group formed a circle for his head count. He was pretty sure they headed this way too earlier… To his credit, the soldier looked more and more like a bewildered single father who was tasked with babysitting all twelve of his cousins’ children on a trip to the amusement park.

Meanwhile, Songbird was staring up at a certain shelf, his brows furrowed as he inspected the strange marks on the floor. “Looks like this thing moved around a lot,” He grumbled then called on for Avian to move the shelf. “It looks heavy,” The dragoon winced and retorted as he angled himself to one side of the bookcase. The white-haired nobody, on the other hand, didn’t seem to care much, mumbling something incoherent but resembled “well you’re the beefcake so you do it”. Although he heaved a lot of times, Avian was unable to move the bookshelf- he wasn’t some superhero, you know- but his attempts jostled it enough for books to start falling off the cases. With the thick tomes out of the way, the party began to hear the sound of banging and angry yelling more distinctly.

“Are you sure there’s no switch to this thing?” Avian wiped his forehead and rested against the wall as Songbird inspected the shelf yet again, only to shake his head with conviction.

“You’re sure? I’m not just wasting my energy here?” The dragoon pressed before heaving again- which, of course, resulted in nothing save more angry yelling from Riley. “Yep, 100 percent sure about it!” Songbird noticed a dark slot hidden behind a thick dictionary and shoved the book aside, testing the space with his fingers. Looks like an average book could fit in here, but for what? He inserted a red primer inside and watched as the bookshelf moved.

Avian’s facial expression told everyone the extent of his irritation.

Though of course, he broke out of his unpleasant mood when Leila and Riley stepped forth from within the secret room. “Are you two all right!?” The soldier immediate crowed while Songbird opted to inspect the bookcase more.
Ohmygod guys! I'm so sorry! I was totally waiting for Kimchi before posting my move-along, but I didn't notice that she already posted (12 hours ago *screeches* why did I not see this!?)!!! ; AAA ; I'm so sorry! I'll get my post up in a few! This is all on me, sorry! > <
Have fun at the concert!

I'll post next if nobody minds~
Michi how could they even think that was a love story the first panel reeked of horror >8| The first time I read that the circle thingy on my mouse malfunctioned so it scrolled down by itself at a really fast rate I almost had a heart attack ; A ;
(⊙︿⊙✿) Edited.

*goes back to reading Tokyo Ghoul*


They moved in further inside the kitchen and Songbird had to admit that this little adventure was getting more unpleasant by the second. As if that horrible smell wasn’t enough, a patina of gloom and doom hung over the entire area, which made the item hunter feel like something was going to jump out from the shadows and devour him whole. Considering his previous associations with the creatures of the Dark Side, that was actually a pretty high probability.

Brandy walked away to inspect a few curious-looking jars and pans, so Songbird did the same to the ones beside him. Without so much as a care for what may lay inside, the white-haired nobody lifted the lid of the nearest pot and at once his senses were assailed by the stench of something he would never entirely forget.

The musk of rot and death wafted from within the rusted container, the source of which was a darkened lump of food… Or at least that was what he thought at first. Songbird tilted his glow jar closer to the pot, aiming the artificial torch so that the orange rays fell within to light up the mysterious object. The man narrowed his eyes as the lump shone under the lighting… only for his mouth to clench as more sordid details came into view.

One side of the lump was frayed and rotting, but the entire thing was .. white? Clumps of matted white fur dotted the thing all over, most especially at the tip. Honestly, everything in the pot was unrecognizable save for the occasional patches of fur… But Songbird was able to comprehend just what it was he was looking at when he shone the light from another angle.

A rabbit head was lying faceup on top of the mound of indistinguishable meat, possessing the same fur color as all the other pieces within the pot.

It was a bunny guard.

The item hunter’s jaw locked of its own volition and he slammed the lid down, startling Brandy who was now staring beyond him in silent dread. Songbird turned around too, and he found himself staring at a second message writ underneath the one the black bunny was looking at.

To everyone who hasn't posted!

I'll pin up a move-along (including Songbird's reaction) after Kimchi replies to Avian. We'll all regroup and then head on to where Leila and Riley are to begin the next sequence of events.

That's all~
I'll write my Songbird post now. I'll just post again as A later, yeah?
Looks like Lute got something right for once.

Orpheus said 'It's us that need protecting'
