Craig was woken up by the first vestiges of morning, even if it was dark outside, that seemed to pinpoint his head and his alone. Crabs walking through his brain, pinching everything that even touched them, would have been a good analogy for what he was feeling if he could bring himself to even think it. And all that pain wasn't going to do him any good, especially when he was already on the verge of the "switch."
Carefully sitting up, he rubbed his head, trying to get an idea of where he was. That was when he spotted the mansion. Savior, the only thing he thought of. Safe from the outside, safe from the pain. Safe from his vio...Too late. He had made the switch, and no longer felt the pain, although the anger came out in full force.
He made his way to the front door, bashing against it with his hands. He hoped someone would answer. "Answer the fricken door, morons. I hate waiting," he yelled out at no one in particular.

Elon shrunk back, nearly smashing his head the wall at the sight of the knife in her hands. "That's pleasant... Where is everyone?" He jumped off the counter and looked in the refrigerator, seeing if there was any good food he had missed the other day. "Hey. Is the front door locked? I mean, I can always smash my way through it," he said smirking, remembering his pain from smashing down the first door. "But it'd be cool if we didn't have to do that."

((She had a frying pan in her hand not a knife lol))
"Elon." She smiled sweetly at him. "The door was unlocked. I checked last night. But can you do me a favor and..." Her voice trailed off thinking quickly. "Put this back up there?" She leaned against the counter twirling the pan as a finger was raised to point up and behind her. "I'm to short... And I don't want to really break anything else." Fate wasn't exactly that short. In fact, she was almost as tall as Elon and Ignis. It was just the way that she stood or leaned on something that made her seem shorter. "Please?" She held out the can to him.

"Guess we'll have to do with Pam then." Ignis would've preferred to have oil, it had something to do with the taste of the food, but he wasn't going to be that picky about such matters. He also held back a small shudder, the only time a girl would smile sweetly at someone they'd threatened to hit was when they had something diabolical in mind. Well, it was either that, or the girls from his classes were abnormally evil.
"The door's not really the problem, it's the forest." He didn't bother going into details about the fact they had no idea where the nearest city was, how big the forest really was, and if it was possible to bring enough food and water along to ensure they wouldn't starve or dehydrate themselves to death at an attempted escape back to civilization. It seemed pretty obvious.
He kept going back and forth from cupboard to cupboard until there was also some flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. He also placed a big bowl and a wisk beside the ingredients. Tossing most of the dry ingredients into the bowl, he said, "For people that kidnapped us against our will, they're pretty nice when it comes to food."
After shaking the bowl slightly, he added the rest of the stuff he'd gathered, except for the cinnamon and banana. Bowl held up in one of his arms, Ignis began to mix them all together with the wisk. "Well, I'm gonna make pancakes for now. Too lazy to make anything else."

An eye opened up in his dream. His deams were always vivid, but this one was the strangest. There was an eye. Nothing strange about that. The strange part was that the eye was on a stomach. "You caught me!" said a woman to a little girl. "What is your name?" she asked, the eye, not moving, appearing to stay still. A little girl answered. "Somebody's watching," she whispered. "I know. It's the one that will save us." The eye stared at Stevan, then the eyelid closed. He started falling upwards, but then he hit the moon. He woke up, breathing hard.

Tia sighed, she was on her way to the courtyard again to sit by the fountain when she heard the banging on the door. what the... She walked towards the front door wondering if it was unlocked or not and cautiously opened it enough to peek out through the door. "Ano...you banged?"
She giggled at her little joke and opened the door fully looking past him into the seemingly endless forest whispering to herself, "It seems like we'll never get out of here after all." She sighed before looking at the boy standing in the doorway, "The others are inside, I'm going to take a wild guess and predict that you are somehow like all of us. Now I'll be going because the anger and rage rolling off of you is making my head hurt and making me irritable." She sighed turning and walking through the entrance hall back to the courtyard.

Elon looked up from the regfrigerator and raised an eyebrow at her request to put a can away. How had she gotten it down in the first place? He hadn't been paying attention. As he smiled and took the can, putting it away, he said, "They may have been kind to us about food, but we should still eat sparingly. The way you make it sound, we could be here for months."

Ignis raised an eyebrow. "And I hear this from the guy who came in yesterday and grabbed a bag of chips as a snack?" But Elon did have a point though, they shouldn't just eat everything they could expecting their food supply to run for as long as it needed to. He just muttered to himself, "Guess the dairy's got to go first..." Just the quantity of the food wasn't the only worry, some things perished faster than others and it would be pointless if the food they kept for last had gone bad. They'd be able to eat it, but it probably wasn't worth the medical troubles they'd bring.
He put the bowl and wisk back down on the counter top. He took a single banana apart from the bunch and grabbed a fruit knife with his free hand. He peeled off one side before cutting the banana into equal pieces, he didn't bother putting it down on a surface, and just cut it right there on top of his hand. Still cutting, he took his eyes off of his hands and turned to face Fate. "Is the pan ready yet?"

Pretending she was gunna smack him, she quickly turned the sink on and squirted him. "Yes Ignis hold your horses!" She giggled and handed him the frying pan. Leaping onto the counter she sat there with a wet hand and wiped it on Elon. More like getting his hair wet actual. Fate had a slight smirk on her face. "Thanks, your a doll."
Watching Ignis she thought to make a comment. "I don't each much so that's something we don't need to worry about."

Craig was grumbling under his breath, and he was preparing to go in when he caught some movement around the forest's edge. It was a rabbit, and Craig realized that he was hungry. He quickly reached out for it, and caught it in his power. When the rabbit started to struggle, Craig snapped its neck, effectively ending its life. Then he retrieved it, and set about making a fire outside.
After the fire was plenty decent, he started to cook the rabbit. The smells were driving him wild, but he knew he had to wait for it to be properly prepared. Maybe his good side would come out, and he could share with the others.

[[O__o ... Now there's a guy that won't have to worry about food running out at all...]]
Amazing... Thought Ignis, She doesn't think twice about squirting a guy that can bust down a door with raw power. Not that he actually thought Elon would do something drastic just because of a minor prank, but he still felt as though it was something to that someone in the world would applaud about.
"You might not eat much." He tossed the chopped banana pieces into the bowl and began to mix again. "But you can't really say no one else does. And speaking of which... What should we do about the rest of them?" He had no idea how hard you'd have to hit a person to get them to sleep for that long (and not kill them), but they had to wake up pretty soon right? Or... One of them would have to take care of them? Unless they wanted to have a dead body on their hands, since a human body couldn't survive over a week without water. He shuddered at the thought.

Elon stepped back as the water squirted him He grunted in disapproval and sat on the counter again, staring at the ceiling. He didn't realize it, but his hand was making a large indent in the side of the counter.

((It's Elon. Not Monkuta xp ))
Fate laughed and frowned. "Uhm... Mister super duper strong or possibly fat guy..." She pointed at the indent on the side of the counter. Her feet swinging under her as she turned back to Ignis. "We could always ration the food. I read a book were this guy started to eat a bowl of rice with veggies and only had meat occasionally... He only had to eat twice a day and it's pretty healthy." She shrugged. "But you guys would possibly need to start fitness training. I mean that's what I used to do. Then my dad didn't like it and he stuck me back on full meals." She stuck out her tongue with distaste. The meals she made were simple and filling once you got used to it. "Though if we did that I wouldn't really need the training. I already have a routine."
Fate shrugged her thin shoulders and then flexed as a joke. "Keeps me slim." She laughed. "But that's all in a book and we may not have the stuff. Plus you guys probably like your fattening meals so I won't stop you."

For the first time after waking up in the manor, Ignis laughed. It didn't last very long, but he had to put the bowl down on the counter top in fear of accidentally dropping it. He leaned against the counter and kept his head down as he spoke, letting his long bangs bangs cover nearly half his face. For once, his voice didn't sound monotonous and devoid of interest. "You... Are the first person to say something like that to me."
It felt really strange. First, he really didn't fit in anywhere in the world, then he finds people similiar to him in a way thanks to people who stranded him in the middle of nowhere against his will. It really was the first time someone suggested that he should start going on fitness training or guessed that he liked fattening meals. He was so used to people commenting on how thin or underweight he was, that it really took him by surprise to hear that sort of thing.
Since the laughter faded off, and his neutral, emotionless expression returned, he realized how bitter-sweet the whole thing felt. I can't remember the last time I laughed like that. He sighed and held the pan out to Fate again. "Heat it on medium-high for me 'k?" Oh dear... This girl's gonna make things quite difficult for me, whether she means to or not.
