((As a side note, I very VERY rarely type first person. x_X; So this is likely the only time I will, simply for purpose of introduction.))
I haven't been around for very long, but already I've grown used to the quirky natures of my older 'siblings'.
Toushi, the cat with stripes bearing a vague semblance to a tiger's, can be quite flirtacious from time to time. However, he also seems to suffer (well, not exactly suffer, but you get the point) from the occasional sudden change of temperment. Immature at times, he has a great talent for art and a deep-seated love for attention and affection. A real sweetheart, I'd say. Also loves cookies and milk.
Machus, on the other hand, is a fox like myself. Prideful of his dark brown coat, he reserves a decent amount of time every morning to simply sit somewhere with a good light source and groom himself. He possesses a rather haughty nature, placing himself above others in many cases. He's a nice sort of guy on occasion, but that's a side of him he usually hides away. He also has a thing for teasing and/or picking on Toushi.
-Katsu
-----
"Machuuuus!" Toushi whined, propping himself up to glare at the smirking fox. "That's miiiiine! Give it back!" Moving to sit up, he crossed his legs and stuck his hands in his lap, glaring with the slightest of pouts on his features. "Come on!"
Machus only smirked, sitting on the tabletop and setting the glass of milk down beside him. "Relax. It's only a glass of milk," the male taunted, arching an eyebrow as he looked down at the sulking cat. "You can get another." Taking a sip, he set it down again.
"But I already have that one!" the cat whined, a pout settling on his features as he looked to the cookies neatly piled on a plate and his open sketchbook, a pencil resting nearby. "Please give it back?"
"'Please give it back?'" Machus mocked, shaking his head and holding his hands up in an innocent, guiltless pose. "Is it so hard to get another glass?"
Katsu sighed softly, taking the glass without either noticing. Making his way over to the sniffling cat, he crouched down and set the glass beside his cookies. "Here you go," he said softly, the tip of his tail flicking Toushi's nose.
A soft giggle left his lips as the other's tail tickled his nose. As he dipped a cookie into the white liquid, he stuck his tongue out at Machus. "Sankyuu Katsu~!" he chimed happily, smiling up at the fox before shifting the lay back down.
"What was that for?" Machus whined as Katsu sat in one of the chairs around the table. Hopping down to sit in a chair, he stuck his tongue back out at Toushi. "I was only teasing him!"
Katsu smirked, shaking his head lightly and brushing his fingers through his hair. "It's only a glass of milk. Isn't that what you said?" he replied with a smile.
"You're no fun."

Scampering over to where Toushi lay, Raviere peeked over his shoulder and smiled lightly. "Whatcha drawing?" he asked lightly, resting his chin on Toushi's shoulder and kneeling beside him.
Toushi blinked up at Raviere and smiled softly, pausing in his drawing. "I don't really know yet," he replied with the faintest of sighs. "I'm just drawing. I'll know what it is when I'm done though." Smiling again up at the energetic pup, he continued his drawing.
Raviere blinked and nodded slowly, though really had no clue as to what was meant by Toushi's words. Instead, he looked to the two foxes seated at the table nearby. "Ne, Machus!" he whined, grabbing the fox's paw and blinking up at him pleadingly. "Come oooon! Let's go outside!"
Machus glanced once to Katsu with the slightest hint of pleading in his eyes. "Why don't you play with Katsu? Or Toushi?" he asked softly, though he was already beginning to stand up.
"Because," the dog stated as though it explained everything. "He cheats. And does really weird things. And Toushi's drawing." Playful as he was, Raviere still knew enough that bothering Toushi wouldn't be very kind or polite... or something like that.
Machus only snickered softly at that, standing and beginning to follow the other as he was led off. "Fine. I'll come," he said, to which Raviere cheered.
Katsu snickered softly, opening a pack of cards and beginning to deal himself a game of solitaire. He cheats, eh? Does weird things? No, he simply took advantage of loopholes and technicalities he found in games the two of them played together. "Toushi? Would you like me to put some music on?" he asked, reaching toward the radio sitting on the table.
"Please?" the cat murmured without an upward glance, smiling softly as he heard the crackle of static and then music.

Comet looked around the kitchen. Man, he was hungry! He wasn't tired of takeout but sometimes he wished Kotatsu would learn to cook. If she didn't have lovely hair he wouldn't know what to don with her. Looking around for something edible, he noticed two other Waywards and briefly degined to pay attention to them. Hmmm, it didn't LOOK like they were girls. Considering this to be a considerable bummer, Comet continued to rummage around for foodstuffs, coming up finally with a carrot. He sat down on the floor, leaning his back against the wall and munching on his prize.

"Katsu~" Toushi called, looking up as he still continued drawing. "Mmm... Can you cook?" he asked softly, stomach growling. Shifting to lie on his back, he blinked up at the fox.
Katsu chuckled softly, standing. He didn't know why exactly, but he always found himself feeling protective and... motherly? fatherly? paternal? when it came to Toushi. Ruffling the cat's hair, he smirked. "Depends. What do you want?"
"Grilled cheese," the cat replied without hesitation, as though it were the most obvious thing in the world. Looking to the other cat who'd entered the kitchen, he blinked curiously but remained quiet.

Comet perked an ear in the other two Waywards' direction, shamelessly eavesdropping. Mmmm, grilled cheese. He munched his carrot thoughtfully. He would love a grilled cheese sandwich right about now, but what if a horrible accident happened and he got injured? If the injury was permanent, his dashing good looks would be ruined. A tragedy. And if it wasn't there would still be that period where he HAD the injury and would have to stay away from the public so no one would see him in such a state. It would be all the stove's fault, too.
During the midst of these imaginings, Comet noticed the orange one with the stripes was looking at him. He stared back and said "I know I'm amazing, but that's no excuse to stare." in a dry voice.

Toushi arched an eyebrow, cocking his head slightly. "You don't look amazing," he commented bluntly, nibbling on his lower lip in thought. "But then... maybe you're like a genius..." the cat murmured to himself. "Nah.... you don't look super-intelligent." What the ego-killer Toushi could be and he wasn't even trying! He was absolutely serious. "But you're staring back," he stated simply.

Comet shrugged. "Hidden underneath this furry exterior there's an amazingly suave and attractive personality you know. And I only started staring because I wanted to examine the person who was eyeing me." Comet had an extremely high opinion of himself, though he couldn't deal with sarcasm very well nor defend it. "And anyway, Clark Kent didn't look amazing either."

Toushi tilted his head and arched an eyebrow. "You could've fooled me," he replied simply, smiling toward the cat. "Yeah? But he's not very super, either. He wears a unitard, for pete's sake!"

Comet considered this and shrugged at Toushi. "Don't go around saying he's not very super unless you've lifted a bus lately. It's horribly rude. Plus it takes a brave man to wear a unitard!" He took a bite of the carrot. "The way I see it..." he said, swallowing before he continued. "...What's inside doesn't count as much as what people see. What's the point of having the kindness and loving personality of a saint if you act depressed and sarcastic on the outside? So THEREFORE I have to show off my amazingly suave personality every chance I get. Preferrably around girls. Pretty girls. But today you'll have to deal with this depressed me since I don't particularly feel like being amazing." He took another bte of carrot. "So who are you, anyway?"

Toushi arched an eyebrow, stretching out slowly. "Mmm.. What you're saying does make sense," he murmured, closing his eyes for a few moments as he thought this over. "You sound like a pervy old man," he mused aloud before lifting his sketchbook and sitting up. "Toushi. And you are?"

"Not a pervy old man." said Comet irritably. "I'm Comet Bond and I'm too young and reckless to be called old. Pervy, sometimes. But not old." He waved his carrot at Toushi in a warning manner then finished up the vegetable. "So tell me, Toushi... what's you opinon about life?"

Toushi snickered softly, shaking his head and setting his sketchbook into his lap. "What do you mean by that, Comet?" he asked curiously, arching an eyebrow.

Comet shrugged. "I don't know. I'm feeling philosophical today and you're the only guy around to bug with questions." He twitched his ear, not missing Toushi snickering. "However, if you don't appreciate my presence and the appreciation of your opinions, I could always relocate my fascinating self and bug somebody else." He thought about this. "Though I don't think I could motivate myself to. Never mind then, kid, you're stuck with me no matter what you want."

Toushi chuckled lightly, shaking his head and flipping to a clean sheet before beginning to draw again. "My opinion on life, eh? Well... It's just that. You can't swap your hand for a fresh start. You simply have to take the cards you're deal and make the best of 'em. Ya get one shot and once you begin there's no do-overs."

Comet nodded. "Yeah, life sucks like that." he said thoughtfully. "But you can make a fresh start if you try hard enough. it hurts... But you could." He shook his head. I can't see why on Earth someone would though. Changing your name, your location, everything. It'd be far too painful." He thought about this. "And if you went too far, you'd get tons of plastic surgery and end up looking like Michael Jackson."
