As Sky sat in her desk chair she pondered more about last night. That swan didn`t try to fight it`s fate, actually it was rather calm for its fate being death. As far as she could think of a wild swan wouldn`t be so calm. "What the hell?" She whispered to herself in confusion. In that case her mind wandered to if that swan actually had been after like all of them. It would explain the eerie black smoke that came pouring out of it. That would mean all of them would do that in animal form if they died though. It was with these realizations that had Sky running to the bathroom with a turning stomach throwing up.

Even though she`d been doing this for some time now she`d never questioned why they even had these powers, or what happened to them when they made that contract. It was like a dark creature was stirred up from a deep sleep within her, one that she`d been pressing down for almost four years. She hoped this whole thing wasn`t something dealing with their true nature.

Dragging herself off the bathroom`s floor, not the cleanest place to sit down. Sky washed out her mouth and ran cold water over her face before drying off with a towel. As she walked back to her office her boss spotted her. "Sky you don`t like so good? You alright?" She asked and Sky nodded. "Yeah, I think I`m just tired, been up almost 48 hours with little sleep."

"Well Mike just showed up, you can be cut for the day if you want."

Sky nodded overjoyed at that news. "That`d be great actually. I`ll see ya tomorrow then, thanks Alice." She replied before going to her office. Putting on her light grey sweater on over the light pink sundress she was wearing and slipping her purse over her head she finally left the clinic, the bell jingling on her long chained necklace.

"I need coffee ASAP," Sky said to herself before getting into her car driving through the town towards the café. No doubt in her mind that the others were there, they usually were. At the moment she was tired though and she had yet to meet her most mysterious John Doe.

The moment she walked into the café after parking her car she noticed Eddie, Terry, Daniel, Toby, and Angel were here. An insanely large number of the gang at this time in the morning.

Little talons digging into the ground Sky watched as Grimbold killed the swan. It was almost serial. This was supposed to be some kind of lesson? It could be that it was something about death and how life is precious, but even then, it was a gruesome way to teach it. Honestly she didn't know how to react to it. Sky knew these lessons were for a lesson, she's been with Grimbold and the others for years now. It just wasn't something she was expecting that night.

"Sir you have to calm down please. Everything is alright, nothing you're seeing is real. You're in a safe place." Sky said softly to a young man that was suffering from the after effects of a cocaine addiction. He was hallucinating right now and there wasn't really much she could currently do.

There was a wall blocking her from Interacting with him as his case of hallucinations tended to be violent. He tried to choke one of the nurses when he came in yesterday. As her job here was to be a counselor she wasn't aloud to interact with any kind of medication. She's learned though that certain words can benefit someone. The power she held could sometimes help, not that she liked using it.

"Sky I think we're going to have to wait a while more until the hallucinations stop. It's probably best if you talk to other patients for now." A nurse told her and Sky nodded walking back to her office in defeat.

Sitting down in her desk chair she sighed exhuasted. The only thing about this job is that she could always be called in. It just happened her work day started at 4am when she'd gotten home at 2am. At this rate she'd be cut soon and get to go home for the day.

The clinic wasn't the biggest but with the college around here it was good for it to be here. She was one of four counselors at this one.

For the introvert and extrovert thing, you could put that she's an ambivert maybe. Most people are ambiverts by definition, an ambivert is someone who shares both extroverted and introverted traits, as such they can't fit into either catagory properly. This however doesn't sound very much like a trait rather more of a classification though(this may be more my opinion though). It's just a tip however ^^

Interacting With: Sloane and Grimbold

Once she heard Sloane`s response Grimbold called their attention and she looked over at the older man. She had a great deal of respect for him. Even if their missions were somewhat weird sometimes, they always had a reason behind them. There wasn`t much room to argue when they had chosen this path themselves. It was exactly a thing you could walk away from once you started it. He started to speak about their mission assignment, eagerly she listened to they would be doing. Apparently they were going to be given someone they had to keep indoors on Saturday. The next instructions that they themselves were to be free on Saturday as well. For her this was manageable but she didn`t know about the others who had careers to worry about. It`d probably be more difficult to move things around. Once again however, they had picked this life, there wasn`t any backing out.

The person she was assigned was a man named Henry Johnson. At the present moment she didn`t know who this man was or how she was going to know who he was. There would be many ways for her to meet him, the question of who he was, was kind of intimidating however. This was a small town, everyone knew mostly everyone, or at least who they were. This guy would either be a new resident or not a very known one. "I get Mr.John Doe, let`s see where this leads I guess. I do know that paranoia will be what keeps him out of the public."

Standing up she walked into the spare room once Terry had left as a raven and closed the door. She wasn`t the kind of girl to shift butt naked in front of a group of people. At this point she really should be used to it. This sadly wasn`t the case. Sky walked over to the window in the room and opened it enough for her to be able to get through. Taking off her clothes she put them in a pile on top of the dresser next to a clothing rack and shifted into the barn owl she called her other form. Taking a moment to shake out her feathers she flapped up and flew out of the room through the window.

The feeling of being able to fly wasn`t something she`d ever be able to get used too. It felt amazing to have such control over something that was so hard to do as a human. The small frame of her animal self also proved to make flying even easier for her. It was one out of the many things that made her life here feel so much better than the life that she put behind her. The person she was before she came here in her opinion was dead, and she was more than overjoyed by it.

As she was about to respond back to Sloane she watched once again as Sloane and Toby didn`t get along. As embarrassing as it is sometimes Sloane did have a point though. At some point, unless you were new, you`ve seen a majority of the group naked in some way. Some were more open with it, she however wasn`t as confident. It was her childhood that she could blame for that one. The confidence issue was something she still couldn`t quite get around. A lot of them did have reason to be so confident however, they weren`t exactly hard on the eyes. "You do have a very valid point"

Reaching to the pastries she took a piece for herself. "Thank you Daniel," Sky said to him with an upbeat attitude before turning back to Sloane. "I`m sorry that it took so long to get back here, it must be a real drag sometimes." She replied and ate a spoonful of her soup before continuing. "I`m alright, the rehab clinic had a client today that was rather determined to not have treatment. He tried to break the glass in the lobby and when he couldn`t he tried to use force on all of us." She said like it was a normal every day occurrence. The rehab clinic she worked at could be rather dangerous at times. It was money though and she could afford a place of her own. It helped she had personal experience in the field personally.

Seeing the people that came in her powers sometimes seemed to become hyper sensitive. It was hard to not use them at times. It did make her feel guilty because even though she would find out ways to help them, she also gave them to paranoia to worry about. Even if it was only a minor, temporary affect; she couldn`t help but feel guilty about it. Some people came in completely overturned by the addiction they possessed. It was her nature to want to help them get through it.

Sky washed her hands in the bathroom sink before looking at herself in the mirror. Moving a red lock of hair behind her ear she looked carefully at herself. Was she really turning 22 in six days? "I'm glad my twenties are looking better than my teen years." Sky thought to herself before leaving the bathroom.

In moment she was sitting down again at the table and it wasn't long before everyone started to arrive. She herself had gotten to the cabin early as her shift at work had been from 8am to 5pm. Not the best hours in the world due to how much of a night owl she is but they worked for tonight. Now-a-days she found herself waiting for nights like this. While she saw a lot of these guys around town and talked to each other often, it was different being together as a group.

Serving herself some of the soup Grimbold made she started to eat. The soup was nice with how cold it was getting outside. The trek up here could be very cold at times. To her the cold was welcomed as the heat and harshness of summer made her annoyed. The soup was a nice way to warm up though and made sure no one was hungry when the meeting came around.

As time went on she was sitting next to Sloane and across from Foxy, Eddie, and Terry. Nina, Angel, and Cara sitting on the side of the table she was on. Toby took a seat amoung the group and it seemed like everyone was almost here.

Sky watched as a black cat came out from under the table and transformed back into Nina. Being in the group, she's started to not really mind if some became randomly naked around her. It wasn't like you could transform and still have clothes on. When she did transform however she didn't want anyone to really see her when she untransformed.

"Sloane, how's your day been?" Sky asked wanting to start joining in on the conversations.

@Obscurus Cool! I'll have a post out soon~

Cursed Critters - Tallshade Tales

@Aewin It maybe could be that her powers only work if someone trust her. Limits on their power seems like a good way to not have them turn into OP powers.
