 [ ... changing cultures ... ]
"You're WHAT!?" The roar ripped through the small apartment like the crack of a whip.
Cadaver winced covering his ears with his hands. Squinting one eye open he ventured a look, seeing if the cost was clear. Clearing his throat he gave a lopsided grin and repeated his earlier comment. "I'm moving out." It was as simple as that.
Or not...
Apparently, the youth never mentioned this until the very last moment. Not too long ago, Krinn, Sable and himself mentioned moving in together. They did their fair share of looking around and managed to find a nice home situated in the perfect place. with all of them pitching in it wouldn't cost them much and they'd stil have some money to spare on their own. Cada was happy for this but sad to say he neglected to mention such an elaborate plan to his guardian until the day before.
Which was today.
"You can't just suddenly drop news like this one me. What do you mean by all this boy?" Marijus slurred between sips of his liquor. He glared at the boy with all the might he could must and yet it feel short as he sighed and flopped on the couch. "So when ya movin'?"
"Tomorrow."
"WHAT?!" Again the bellow ripped through the house.
Cada could only shrug as he moved from the living room toward his own room. He opened the door taking a moment to reminisce of good times. "I'm moving tomorrow. Today is my last day here so I'm going to pack my things tonight. You can either come with me or sit around moping all day. Either way the deal is done." It goes to show with time a child could surely grow before the parent has time to breath.
"Are ya thinking boy? Seriously that's no time to do anything. How can you expect to find a house.... wait? Did you already find a place?"
"Yep."
Marijus sighed moving from the couch to were Cada was gathering some things together. "You're serious about this." He stated more than asked. Watching the teen's back was like looking at a child who'd grown into a man all in one day. It was pretty much what happened but he knew better. Cada was no where near being an adult about things. He chug too much to that damn toy and his ideas of the world out there was coated in sugar and candy. How could he possibly make a decision so drastic as this? Who put him up to it? Marijus wanted answers and would have them.
"Listen here... you're still fairly young. I mean you only barely just became a teen and now you want to leave..." He paused huffing at the idea before turning from the door to lean against the wall outside. "Ya hate being here so much? Hate me?"
The teen sighed not wanting to get into a tit-for-tat with his guardian but he could sense the pain just under the surface of all the drinking and grumpily moving around. "Papa... I don't hate you. Why would you even think that?" Cada pushed sitting up from packing a few things. Looking at the open door he new the doctor was there. "I-I can't stay here. I won't risk you getting sick like that again. Moving out is the best thing and besides it's not like I won't be over to visit." He giggled poking his head out of the door to grin widely at the man who jumped not expecting his charge to pop out like that. "I love you papa! I love that you took care of me, and that no matter what may happen to me or I may do unintentionally because of my condition that you still love me."
By this time the 'good' doctor was blushing pushing at his glasses with a distracted snort. "Whatever." He muttered with a grump pushing off the wall. "Ya still trying to run away from me. I can tell." He offered shoving past Cada and into his room. He knelt down to pick up some things and help with the packing. "I still don't approve. Moving out on your own like this."
"But I wont' be on my own. Sabel and Krinn are moving in with me."
A brow twitched suddenly from that comment. "Come again?"
"I said-"
"I heard ya! Why ya gonna move in with him?" He demanded, though he continued straightening things up.
"Well cause Krinn is my friend, its cheaper that way and I did mention Sable will be there." He pouted realizing Marijus was just being like a brat about this. It was kinda endearing but annoying just the same. Wasn't he the adult in all this? "Besides you'll get to meet Sable tomorrow."
A growl filled the small room as Marijus just continued with helping. He figured this day would come but for it to hit his door so soon was taking a lot out of him. It wasn't that he didn't trust Cada or Krinn and the girl for that matter he just wanted the boy home. Where he belonged. Call it a parent thing but he was being robbed of the younger years most parents were allowed to spend with their children. Any other time in his life he wouldn't have wanted kids but for Cada to crash into his world in such a literal sense. Spending endless nights taking care of him and learning how the kid worked with his strange mannerisms. Was he really ready to move on so soon? He hadn't even fallen in love yet? Or was that suppose to be where Hymn fit in?
"I feel like I'm being robbed." The doctor finally breathed. "It's like being punched in the gut. All the air is just flowing out of me, kid. Ya really sure about this?" He looked up the glare of his glasses keeping Cada from seeing anything other then his own reflection.
"Yes. I'm sure this is what I want, papa. Its also what you need. I haven't seen you go out on dates lately. You're so worried about me that you've neglected yourself." He moved to sit next to him nudging his papa affectionately. "Heck I've had my first kiss and experience with love but well haven't you taken time to find someone to settle down with yet? It would be so great! I've always wanted to see a real life wedding."
Yep the boy was definitely stuck in a wonderland. Marijus chuckled bumping his forehead against Cada's. "You really are something kid. Just be careful out there. No matter what you have a home here, if something doesn't work out, come home!" He poked the boy. "That's an order."
"Roger!" He chimed and gave his papa a warm hug.
"I love ya kid. Just know that." Marijus said, coughing slightly at his show of emotion.
"I know."

[ ... dark worries ... ]
It had been a long day going back and forth between homes. After settling things with his papa and the other apprehensive guardians; Cadaver was able to finally rest easy. He didn't want his friends to get in trouble for making such a split second decision. That was usually something he did on a whim but even as he thought about it, there could have been more preparation, more time for guardians to get used to the idea of their children leaving home.
Cadavers need to move however, was deeper then leaving the nest and striking out on his own. It was so much more then that... the pain of almost losing his papa because of himself was too much for the youthful dust to handle. Just the thought of his presence making Marijus sick frightened him enough to run away from home. When he had learned Marijus had gotten better it was then he understood. He was dangerous around the frail immune system that humans had, he could easily make them succumb to his sickening spores, parts of his being he had absolutely no control over. From the day to day he had been monitoring just how much he was shedding, how much of his body was decaying. Overall it hadn't seemed like much but this didn't stop the pestilence dust from worrying. That worry went bone deep, wondering if he would become nothing more than a corpse that walked the earth...
Looking solemnly at his reflection in the window of his room in the attic, the pestilence dust remained trapped in a whirlpool of painful thoughts. With eyes glowing from the borrowed light of the moon, he could faintly hear the creatures of the night waking to start their nightly hunt. How long would it be before he'd have to slip into the night to hide from the world? For now he could play in the sun, laugh and enjoy as much time as he was allowed with friends and family but there was a day, something in him whispered foreboding words....
You are not worthy of the light, of the happiness you steal so carelessly... soon you will descend into darkness and hide away from the world. Why would you even be allowed to live if you do nothing more than cause sickness and death.... think about it Cada. You don't belong...
Soon those dark feelings slipped away with the sound of movement from below. Cada moved from the window to his door opening it just a tad. He could hear movement in the kitchen, probably Krinn getting a midnight snack or even Sable. He smiled at the thought. His friends were here, they cared about him right? They didn't see him as a burden or a danger? So far none of them had succumb to any kind of sickness, no matter how long they were around him... but then he realized they'd all been outside or at least they weren't exposed to him for long periods at a time. Marijus was the only one that had a day-in, day-out connection with him. Even so it was for the best that he was no longer living with his papa. At least he could start living his life and maybe he'd find a nice person to settle down with in turn.
"Will I have to leave again?" He wondered to his beloved toy. It sat on a dresser just off to his side. Hunched over with a dead expression on its face the doll would say nothing; slumping further as gravity took its toll. "I don't want to hurt anyone but I can't control it..." He knew there was something in him that he could not control a part of his being that just existed for whatever reason. Why would anyone see fit to make a dust of such a substance. Everyone was made of something less harmless or at least controlled but he... he was made of something that hurt people.
So far, there was a pixie dust, stormcloud dust, lightening dust, and many others he would love to meet. Maybe it was his over active mind but he just didn't understand what his purpose was in this life. Each dust had a purpose that much he could feel but what was it? What did they have to look forward to in this life? Protect those they cared for, those that were too weak to protect themselves... but from what?
Turning to his beloved toy he retrieved it from his dresser and went to flop on his bed. "I don't get it Mr. Happy. What are we all here for anyway?" Rolling up the sleeve to his sweater he pulled at a piece of skin that seemed to be holding on by a mere thread. It easily turned into dust fluttering in the air until it disappeared completely. Even with his recent growth things were still like this. He was still rotting on a daily basis. How long would it be before he became nothing but bone? Sighing he rolled onto his stomach burying his face into the pillow. A short sob escaped him before managed to turn to his side, glowing eyes gazing out the window at the moon.
All that he ever worried about was hurting the people around him. He didn't want to get any older it seemed with it came the final evolution of his being. Would he lose his features all together? Would he become nothing but a dead corpse like he'd seen at the hospital? If that's what his future held for him it wasn't worth being around at all. He didn't want his friends to hate him and shy away because he grossed them out. Wearing sweaters, hats, hoods and pants were only the beginning what would happened if he'd have to cover himself completely cause there was nothing left of him but bones? One could only be happy for so long, putting up a carefree front was easier said then done. No one would know that he worried constantly about the unknown.

[ ... inner thoughts ... ]
It was a warm but cloudy day. The cliffs were a place of sanctuary, quiet, calm, and yet all the powers of the ocean were there licking at my bare feet. I could sit here and watch it for hours, the roar of the ocean crashing against the rocks. With each roll of the ocean waves the rocks would be formed and molded as nature intended. Sometimes I wish nature wasn't so cruel or the gods for that matter...
I haven't seen Hymn in a while and I'm not sure I want to. It's not that I don't love him anymore, I do, the only problem is the love he has for me is somehow different. Now that I've grown and seem to be grasping things one step at a time, it's come to my attention that Hymn is "in love" with me perhaps. This isn't good, we need to talk but I truly hope he won't hate me. It's just that maybe we got our wires crossed after all I was naive, young -- how was I suppose to understand what "true love" was at that time. Right now my heart doesn't pound in such ways like that. Maybe its something that will never truly happen for me. Maybe...
Even as I sit here, the necklace that Hymn gave me sparkled like a twinkling star whenever the sun poked through the thick clouds. It's been cloudy a lot more than usual lately. Wonder why that is? Ah well... it's nice out. Maybe later I'll find Hymn and we can come up here to talk. Get all our feelings out in the open and clear.
Still watching the waves... they were a lot more violent then usual too. It seems nature is growing restless. No clue why? But I know that I can understand... the restlessness. Something in me is antsy, nervous, maybe even scared. I just feel like things are only beginning for me. Mr. Happy do you ever wonder if I'm losing my mind? I think I might be. After moving in with Sable and Krinn I have to be extra careful of the things I do. Even went so far as putting a lock on my door so when I go out like this no one can go inside, accidentally or not. They really shouldn't go in there anyway, who knows what's lingering in there after I leave. Not that they can't be trusted, I trust everyone! Papa says that's an endearing trait but stupid. Not sure why its stupid if it's endearing... he's weird anyway. o 3o
Well maybe I should head back. Looks like it might rain, the clouds are getting thicker on the horizon.

[ ... kissing lessons ... ]
Cada: Krinn and Sitara sitting in a tree... K I S S I N G... *giggles*
Krinn: [/blushes at that comment and flails his arms] its not like that, I just met her! D////X
Cada: I can teach you how to kiss! I watched papa kiss girls all the time... *is knowledable*
Krinn: I - I dont need to know how to kiss - you dont even kiss on first dates - I dont think... > ///////o;;;
Cada: I kissed on my first date! It was yummy last I remember, I was still little though. *has no clue what he was doing*
Krinn: [/stares at him for a bit] you went on a date? [/obviously has not heard of this] ...... I think my brain just fell out of my head. D////X [/doesnt understand]
Cada: Yes my friend Hymn. He liked to give me kisses and hugs when I was little. I don't see him that much now though.... you want kisses and hugs from me? *is still rather oblivious of what he did as a kid*
Krinn: ....... Hymn kissed and hugged you? [/considers this for a moment] Are you two together? [/cocks his head to the side] > ////o And no - no, er, I'm totally fine without them. DX hugs might be nice, but no kissing! ; A;
Cada: *thinks and tilts his head then shrugs* Together? You mean friends. Yes we are, like you're my friend. *not computing* I can teach you how to kiss. I'm good at it! You should learn soon its getting about time for you to have a girlfriend don't you think?
Krinn: No I meant like uh - er, nevermind... [/shakes his head] And nono, I swear I'm fine. DX;;;;; And it is? I didnt know it was. . /////. I didnt think you needed a girlfriend at a specific time... DX
Cada: *thinks* Um... well you don't NEED a girlfriend but you should probably get one before a stampede of girls come after you. I heard girls around our age start looking for guys to date so... *trails off in thought, then blinks* Um... so have you had your first kiss yet at all?
Krinn: St-Stampede? [/looks like a deer caught in headlights] U - uh, I'm not quite sure I want that to happen... . ______. That would be bad. [/cocks his head to the side and blinks at the mention of a first kiss] Er, yeah... actually... [/looks extremely embarrassed]
Cada: *smiles wide* Then why can't I kiss you? *inches closer*
Krinn: B-Because! Isn't it something you're supposed to do to someone you - er, like as more then a friend? Thats what... Thats what Lan told me anyways. o ///////<
Cada: *giggles* But papa kisses girls all the time and most of them I never saw again... you can kiss them cause you just want to. *nods sagely and moves closer to Krinn still grinning* Come on! Just once...
Krinn: And thats what Lan calls a womanizer. [/frowns behind the blush and yelps as Cada moves in, turning his eyes to floor] Er - Ah - uh.... [/sighs in defeat] Just once, alright?
Cada: *Smiles and reaches to lift Krinn's chin so he can look at him.* But I'm not a womanizer and didn't Lan go home with papa anyway? I'm positive papa kissed him cause no one goes home with papa without being kissed. *giggles* Besides we like each other, we're best friends so its definitely okay! *smiles and leans in to plant a lingering kiss to Krinn's lips before moving away licking his own* You taste like rain, its really nice... *Giggles smacking the poor dust in the face with Mr. Happy* He wants a kiss too!

[ ... sleepy hollow ... ] Cada: *sewing a new arm on Mr. Happy looking all sad*
Krinn: [/pads into the room looking sleep-deprived] What are you doing?
Cada: *crying* H-he got attacked by a vicious animal (neglects to say it was just a puppy that was in the knawing stages of life) I have to save him... *crai*
Krinn: [/plops down next to him, rubbing his eyes] How vicious was it? [/prods Cada gently] I'm sure he'll survive. You're doing a good job at patching him up.
Cada: *leans on Krinn's shoulder* He was .. um... three stories high and he had big teeth like this *makes a growling noise while imitating a vicious animal* then he grabbed Mr. Happy and ran off. I chased him and found my poor friend clinging to life with one arm... *holds the toy close. Notices the sleepy Krinn* Are you okay? *pets*
Krinn: [/leans back against Cada] You know how ridiculous that sounds? I don't think I've ever seen something that big. It looks like you sewed him up alright though. [/closes his eyes] I'm alright.... Just tired - haven't been getting much sleep lately.
Cada: *sits Mr. Happy on his shoulder then pulls Krinn to lay his head in his lap* You look awful and that's the truth... *giggles* Sorta... but still. *plays with his hair* Have you been eating good? You need to eat to keep your energy up.
Krinn: [/squeaks and wriggles a bit] Cada, this isn't really - [/stops and yawns, resigning defeat grumpily] I've been eating.... fine. [/is a bad liar - has had a bad eating habit ever since he was a child] Its not that. I'm just tired, its nothing.
Cada: *giggles* Just relax a little... It's good for you. *hums something surprisingly sweet while playing with his hair some more* <3

[ ... angel of death ... ] "When pestilence rages in the town, walk not in the middle of the street, because the angel of death [i.e., pestilence] strides there; if peace reigns in the town, walk not on the edges of the road. When pestilence rages in the town, go not alone to the synagogue, because there the angel of death stores his tools. If the dogs howl, the angel of death has entered the city; if they make sport, the prophet Elijah has come."
