<i>As you walk on the west side of Barton, you will find a skyscraper that is almost right next to the finest jewellery store there is. Spread over the seven stories are thirty-five three-room apartments, lived in by students, singles, young couples and people with low paid jobs. If you walk up to the door you will see that all the doorbells have name tags on them. The doorbell marked with the number 701 has a very fresh tag next to it, with</i> ‘Nedyfay Darkchild’ <i>written on it in black ballpoint and graceful handwriting. This Nedyfay Darkchild has obviously not lived here all that long.

Now, if you happen to be a complete stranger – please, do continue your journey. Nedyfay Darkchild does not like strangers much, and only a few selected people know her address. But if you happen to be one of those selected people, feel free to press the doorbell to see if she happens to be home - if not, slip a note in her mailbox and she will know when she gets home.

If she is home, you will soon hear her voice over the intercom, asking for your name. As soon as you tell her you will hear a buzzing from the door. As you walk up the stairs (because the elevator is permanently out of order) you will that there is a wide variety of smells coming from the different apartments. When you have walked up fourteen stairs you will finally reach Nedyfay’s floor. Her little flat is at the far end of the corridor, and next to her door she has hammered in a nail and from it hangs a simple sign stating that</i> ‘Here lives Nedyfay Darkchild’ <i>. Her doormat gives you the friendly greeting of</i> ‘Hell no, not you again!’ <i>and the door has a cat door in it. After some shooing the door is finally opened and there stands the tiny little kittysune. Out from behind her peek two kittybombs, but as soon as you come in the little animals zoom off somewhere.

The colours of the little flat are mainly black and white; all the bigger surfaces are a shade of white, and the small details are black. When you have walked past the wall that makes a small make-do entrance, you see that the floor of <b>the combined living room/kitchen</b> is black a black carpet with slashes of white. In the kitchen area the carpet is replaced by off-white linoleum because it is easier to keep clean. The walls are made of brick that has been painted white, and there is nothing hanging from them. In fact, the free space is dominated by windows. Every window has a black blind pulled halfway down. One the white, two-person couch there is a heap of books and a thick, black blanket of wool with a Siamese cat on it. The table on front of the couch also supports books as well as three pictures in delicate, silver frame. The bigger one is of a girl with purple hair and a twinkle in her eye – Winter Rose Darkchild, Nedyfay’s daughter:

The second one is of a man with soft brown hair falling into his clear blue eyes. He is laughing and probably unaware of the fact that he is being photographed. It is Bryon, the man who has won Nedyfay’s heart over. And the third is of a little gypsy girl – Musset, Nedyfay’s unofficially adopted ten year old daughter:

On the opposite side of the table are two black bean bags. At the left wall are two book shelves filled up with books of all kinds; thriller, romance, science fiction, western, comedy. Nedyfay also seems to be fond of the old classics, and has three shelves devoted to them. Not far from the bookshelves is the refrigerator, the dishwasher with a microwave on it, a cupboard where you can find pans and such, a sink, and an oven with grill. Next to the oven is a big, soft chair in the same style and colour as the couch. Next to it stand four small, black, plastic dishes, two of them filled with water and two of them empty, and one litter box filled with cat sand.
On the right wall is the door leading to the bedroom. On the right side is Nedyfay’s desk, with a computer, a black holder for files and, a telephone. On the left are more bookshelves, but the top three are filled with framed pictures of various people, and the bottom three are filled with boxes of all sorts. All the boxes have a little tag on them saying what they contain.

<b>The bathroom</b> is completely white. In one corner is a big, two-person bubble bath – a little luxury Nedyfay could not resist. In the opposite corner there is a shower with a heated towel just on the outside. Next to the shower stands the laundry basket (the washing machines are in the basement of the complex), and on the other side of the door is a chest of three drawers. Here you can find clean towels, fresh soap, etc. The sink is right next to is and the toilet it next to the bubble bath.

<b>The bedroom</b> is off-limits to most guests. It is Nedyfay’s own little domain – a haven inside a haven. She has a queen sized, cast-iron bed with three soft pillows and a big quilt – black or white, depending on which of the sets are in the laundry. On the right side of the bed there is a chest of drawers where she keeps her clothes, and on the right side is a small bedside table. Both pieces of furniture are supporting a lamp. Also here the blind is pulled halfway down over the window. A white wardrobe made of wood holds clothing not appropriate for the season, and a white bookshelf holds even more reading material – but this time it is more magazines and photo albums than actual books. The walls are white and the thick rug on the floor is likewise.</i>

-Reserved, in case-
<i>Nedyfay, accompanied by Cerebus Dark, walks up to the front door of the complex and fishes out a small keychain with only two keys on it and unlocks the door with the smaller one. Stepping into the half-dark corridor she motions to Cerebus to follow, and begins the long, long walk up the fourteen stairs.

When they have arrived on the seventh floor, Nedy leads the way down the dark corridor until they arrive at the door that leads to her flat. Unlocking the door with the bigger key, she takes a deep breath and steps into her new home. The two kittybombs run up to her and stroke their heads against her legs before sniffing at Cerebus.</i>

"Well...this is my home. And those are two of my three flatmates."

Lolita, being the shyest one, comes back to Nedy and sort of hides behind her legs, peeking out at Cerebus. Sphinx is curious and gently taps Cerebus' foot before meowing. Nedy smiles and reaches down to pick up the black and white Lolita.
::A skyscraper, Cerebus usually dispised these things, but as it held the home of one of Mira, he would not be rude in any way. He followed he silently straight up until the kittybombs arrive. Its true they looked just like cats but with firey fuse like strings on there head, cats werent meant to have strange bobbles on there head. Look at Nedy, she was part kat, did she have strange bobbles? No. This was most odd and that showed as Sphinx batted at his leg, and he looked downward, completely shocked by the creature, hoping back his back impacting her door. As he almost shouts::

What in the name of Nocturnes Holy Night is that?!
Both Lolita and Sphinx zoom into the living room and under the couch when Cerebus raises his voice. Nedyfay looks a bit taken aback but then starts to laugh. She should not, of course - but seeing the reaction the big wolf had when he saw two innocent kittybombs was a comic sight in her eyes.

"They're kittybombs. The black one is Sphinx, and the tuxedo one is Lolita. They are harmless - like cats."

::While his voice lowered somehow her explaination failed to relax him. How did such things get formed?! A feline explosive?! Even more so, how did she come to acquire them!::

Kitty...bombs? Sure you dont mean to tell me those firey bobble headed cratures can actually denotate!?

::He shook his head almost in disbelief as he stares at where the kitty bombs were last located::
"When they are exhausted, they go 'bang' - softly - and fall asleep. While they are sleeping they regrow the fuse, and when they wake up it light up and they go on until the fuse is gone."

He smelled of suprise and disbelief - much like Nedy had reacted when she first had been presented with the phenomenon. After a while she had taken a liking to them, though, so that was why she had bought two.

Cerebus did not seem to see the little charmers the way she saw them, though. But Nedy had always been drawn to the more...unusual things.
In Nocturnes name...amazing.

::He turned to Nedy, an actual smile on his face. Something unseen for quite some time.::

You deserve more respect than I previously gave you if you can live with exploding felines galavanting around your home. I can barely fathom how you sleep with an exploding cat around. Most impressive Mira...

::It had slipped and he still hadnt caught it, hopefully here in her home. She wouldnt mind.::
She laughs softly, looking towards the couch where her pets disappeared off to before looking back to Cerebus. The smile and his words surprise her, but not unpleasantly. Returning the smile, she motions for him to enter her home instead of standing in the make-do enterance.

"Thank you, Cerebus. They're not that bad once you get used to them. But they are very cuddly, so once you sit down - and please do - Sphinx come back out again. Lolita is a shy one."

As if to encourage him, she herself walks into her living room. Lolita and Sphinx are peering put from under the couch, their 'strange bobbles' swaying a bit. Nedy shakes her head at seeing them - like shy children!

::It would be most rude not to enter her domain, and so he did, following her into the living room, careful of the kitty bombs as he takes seat. He was a wild animal, and he had always been one, invitations to homes were something new to him. He placed his hands on both his knees, his shackles hanging betwee his knees. And he sat, he honestly did not know what to say, but his gaze was definitively set on the kitty bombs, he seemed almost...nervous::
Sphinx was at Cerebus' feet at once, purring and stroking against him. The firey blop on his head wagged back and forth, but did not actually give off any heat. Nedy smiled softly at the cat and made a meowing sound. Sphinx answers it and goes back to Lolita. Both the fuses are very short and Nedy is about to warn Cerebus that the cats are about to prove why they are kitty<b>bombs</b> the second they both go BANG. No smoke, and not that much sound either, but the two kitties are fast asleep.

"...yeah. Kittybombs."

::Bang!!::

What the?!

::Cerebus seemed to fly forward, across the room impacting the far wall and kicking off it landing facing his past position on one knee. As he jumped a highly angered growl escaped him, as he lunged forward, toward the underside of the couch. It was instinct, no thought what so ever, simply an animal lunging at an attacker. He gave not even an once of though even given to his location. As he lunged with only the animal need to counter attack on his mind, and the poor KittyBombs his target::
Lolita and Sphinx were fast asleep and would not wake up for a while, so they were completely defenceless against Cerebus' attack. The good thing was - they would not feel a thing if he got them. Kittybombs were strange like that.

But Nedyfay was awake - and also she was part animal. She had been standing on the side of the table, on her way to move the kittybombs to their beds, and when Cerebus lunged forward so did she. Landing softly on all fours she swept her pets under the couch and out of harm's way. Then she crouches down where they had been, fearing that if she moved out of the way to avoid him attack her he would attack the sleeping furballs. At least she could fight back - but when kittybombs slept, they would sleep until their fuse had been completely regrown at hell or high water and everything in between would not wake them.

If Cerebus did not understand who he was attacking, Nedy knew this was going to hurt.
