Resting on the couch, the Freak's eyes began to flutter open. Perhaps, was it all a bad dream? She was used of nightmares, and it sure did seem like one. She gave off a sigh of relief before looking around. The room was dark, and the couch did not feel like her own. Where could I be? She thought to herself, then noticed the Prince sleeping beside her. Here and there, people were heard crying and praying, others were heard sleeping, while some were still plotting their survival. "So it is true..." The Freak muttered.
She leaned back and closed her eyes. In her nearly blinded state, she couldn't see much either way. Trying to recall the events of the night, her mind stopped at a certain, unhappy memory. Monster... Will I ever see you again? She thought back to all the times she had met him. All those times he'd been rummaging parties for food, running past ever so swiftly just to utter a careful 'Hello'. All the letters she had written for him, locked away in her old room, probably devoured by that beast already. And she remembered so dearly that night by the stream. How beautiful he had been... The crocodile tears came running down her cheeks, but she did her best to hide it. She had to be strong and remember, no bad things could last forever.
Drying her eyes with her soft gloves, still not removing the mask, she looked over at the Prince. He seemed so peaceful, and yet slightly frightening in how he still sat up while asleep. Poor thing must be exhausted... She then remember her saviors, Master and his lady friend. They ought to be mighty tired as well. She thought of the trouble she'd caused them, going out like that... She hoped they were both safe, and while she could not see them, she felt certain that they must be there. Though she knew she must be in the safe room they spoke of, something about it made her feel uneasy. Suddenly, she realised her umbrella was no longer with her. She moved her hands around, looking for it, but it simply was not there. I must have lost it in that other room...

Shortly after getting the response to his question (Which wasn't much of a response, Xashowd noticed. Perhaps the man didn't take kindly to strangers...) Xashowd got sleepy. He flew up to the ceiling, made a self-sustaining bed of air, and proceeded to take a Catnap.
...When he woke up, many hours had passed. It seemed everyone in the room was either still sleeping or silent. With his senses renewed from slumber, Xashowd immediately noticed the sensation of being watched. He scanned the area rapidly and, for a brief moment, caught a pair of golden eyes flashing from one of the darker areas of the room. It vanished shortly afterward, but since Xashowd had recently seen Golden Grunnies, he figured it must've been the mage's lost pet. Xashowd had excellent night vision, but those eyes had vanished pretty quickly. Damn...starting to wish I knew a little Light Magic right now. Xashowd thought. He stayed near the ceiling for a while, waiting for someone else to get chatty. He wasn't sure what to make of the lost grunny, but when he recalled those eyes...
They sure didn't look domesticated.

Chu's softly as it settled in to rest from all the flying for quite awhile, grinning slightly at the praise it got for how it sounds. It was doing something good and not even aware of it. “Berries... and mallows.. are yummy..” it spoke with a yawn as it took it's nap. The whole room around it changed during that time with the new additions of appliances and lights which it pulled it's head under it's wings. When it did wake there was something blocking it from getting up flicks it's ears around and sniffs the object to find it was Gyp Gyp's hand and licks at it.

The dragon had been taking advantage of the quiet time to rummage through the room, locating some old blankets tucked into the wardrobe they had been using as part of the barricade. He takes them and carefully wraps them around some of his sleeping companions, moving from Luck to Gypsy, then moving to the couch and getting Prince and Sweet. He pauses to gently pull Laetan out from under the couch, wrapping a blanket around her as well before placing her on the couch between Sweet Freak and Prince.
Finished, he starts roaming around the perimeter of the room, trying to find and sign of the missing grunny.

The ghost just wandered around the place. She kept hearing weird noises. ,,Something isn't right here!" She tought.
After a little time, she found a door and knocked.
,,Helloo?~"

The elf stirred a little at the lick and gives a sleepy giggle. She then starts, moving her hand eyes opening wide. "O-oh, sorry Batty, just wanted to be sure you were safe." She blinks and looks down realizing there's a blanket around her. Smiling, she snuggles into it a moment then carefully stands. "D-did we find that grunny yet? Thank you for the blanket, whoever did that."

Lilja the Ghost The ghost just wandered around the place. She kept hearing weird noises. ,, Something isn't right here!" She tought. After a little time, she found a door and knocked. ,, Helloo?~" "Oh, someone's at the door again." Goes to push the barricade and flinches. The soreness from before from doing this was really catching up. Finally getting things moved, she opens the door a crack and is surprised to find a ghost. "Oh um, hello. Come in." Waits for her to come in and closes and starts putting the barricade back. "Kyu . . ." With a sigh she starts stretching her arms trying to alleviate the soreness.

As she sat there, resting on the couch, a blanket was suddenly tucked around her. The Freak gave off a soft sigh, and tried to go back to sleep, when she heard the door being knocked, and a voice beyond it. She stood up, careful not to wake the others, and made her way towards the barricade, where Gypsy was helping the other inside. "Are you alright, dear?" She asked, as she helped Gypsy put everything back into place.

Chirps quietly at Gyp Gyp with a yawn fanning out it's wings with a stretch. Digs out another cookie from it's fur pouch and sits to enjoy breakfast looking curiously at the changes. "Batty woke Gyp Gyp up. Batty will watch over if chu wanna sleep some more."

Her eyes nearly shone when Sweet Freak came to help with the barricade. "Thank you, Sweets~ This thing feels heavier than before." She rubs at one of her arms. "I guess I need to stretch more and work on my arms." She pokes one of her arms and tries to giggle, though it's kind of forced. "Not the most impressive gun show going on here." Giving Batty a smile and a pat she nodded. "I might take you up on that, Batty. Not just yet though. Ah, you have another cookie~ "

Nods with a chu as it nibbles at the cookie. "Batty has magical item from time being mysterious chu'ing anon." It giggles amused at itself, it retired though but that doesn't mean it had to give up it's origin. "It linked to Batty's home so I can go home whenever no one wants to play with Batty no more. Would help with door but there chu many people in here so Batty will continue to not take up space." Bobs and perks it's ears. "Want cookie?"

Xashowd noticed that others were beginning to wake up. He watched as the nice lady who let him in yesterday let in another newcomer, this time a Ghost. Quite a motley crew we've got going on here...then again, I'm probably the strangest one in the room. Xashowd thought. A Vampire with Wind Elemental magic currently in a Feline Form that he hadn't gotten until...was it a month now? Xashowd shrugged. Regardless, he looked over some of the others and recalled what he heard last night. The sleeping lady in the casino getup was apparently called Lady Luck. That magic he'd sensed on her last night emanated from her cards, it seemed. The cards appeared to be able to contain and expel objects from them, and the Lady appeared to be rather adept at using them. Xashowd mildly wondered if she knew Luxord, then dismissed the thought. There was the purple-clad entity who didn't respond to him much. He seemed rather chatty with a few other people that Xashow had noted before he fell asleep. Xashowd tried listening to the sounds on the Wind, concentrating hard to see if there were other lingering words. Since the room was largely contained, it wasn't hard, but it was a jumbled mess. He managed to pick up some bits of conversation that had happened between the man and Lady Luck. It seemed like they had a rapport going. Perhaps the reason the man didn't talk much to Xashowd was due to a dislike of those he didn't know? Or maybe the Feline Form's increased bravado was off-putting? Those had to be it. Xashowd hadn't explicitly mentioned to anyone that he was a Vampire (Except to the man, now that Xashowd remembered), so he didn't think that was the reason...well, he hoped it wasn't. Maybe the man would open up with time. Batty had apparently woken up, and was nomming another cookie. He was sitting on the nice lady's shoulder, rather calm with little care in the world. Xashowd then realized he barely knew the names of everyone here. Introductions hadn't exactly been on everyone's mind...maybe that would change today. Xashowd made a mental note to introduce himself to everyone and try and learn their names as well. After all, if they were going to be in here for a while, it'd be best to learn eachother's names. Since the Nice Lady and a masked woman Xashowd hadn't noticed last night were up, Xashowd figured he'd start with them. He flew down to their eye level and introduced himself. "So, we didn't really get eachother's names last night. I'm Xashowd. What's your names?"

Her poor friend seemed so tired. "Are you sure you shouldn't lie down a bit, Gypsy dear? I may not be very strong myself, but I'll watch over the door for you." She then noticed the little critter, talking so sweetly. Though in the darkness, she couldn't make out quite what it was. "And look what a dear friend you've got..."
Suddenly, a strange furball came down from the ceiling. She didn't see him very well either, but she heard him clearly. "Oh. Pleased to meet you, sir Xashowd. You don't need to be bothered with my name, just call me Freak." She spoke with a sweet tone, trying to hide the fact that she felt rather uncomfortable being asked her name, seeing as she had forgotten it herself.

Xashowd smiled. "Duly noted." Freak had a very pleasant tone in her voice, and Xashowd heard her call the Nice Lady Gypsy. He guessed that was her name. From what he saw, Gypsy and Batty had a nice rapport going, and liked eachother quite a lot. Xashowd then looked back over at Freak, and he started wondering something. "If it's alright to ask...why is it you wear a mask, Miss Freak?"

"I didn't know you could do that, Batty. You know what, yes, this time I would like some. Thank you~" Breaking off a piece of the cookie Batty offers, she gets caught with a mouthful as Xashowd comes to introduce himself. The elf blushes and puts up a finger chewing and swallowing quickly. "S-sorry. Yes, I apologize for not doing introductions sooner. Batty was better at that." She gives Batty a quick pet then goes on. "It's nice to meet you, wish it were under better circumstances. You can call me Gypsy." She inclines her head a bit at the end still having the hint of the blush. Her grey eyes then settle on Sweet Freak, a sad smile on her face. "I might do that. I'm sure someone would help you with the barricade, maybe Nefiriam or Xashod here. He seemed to have a way with it earlier." Her smile did brighten then. "Yes, Batty is a dear friend and very sweet~"
