Malaki looked at the sun and knew his time was drawing near, and he made his way to the city. Along the way, he put on a luchador mask he snagged earlier in his life and began seeing the bright lights of the town, wandering through the different streets to reach his destination: Mosh! A place where the underground artists showed up, hoping their talents would be noticed by a band looking for one more member, or even better, a scout for a record label. He entered the building and looked around the main floor before walking up to the bar and waving to the barkeep. She noticed him immediately and pointed to a set of doors. Malaki nodded and he walked through the doors and down a flight of stairs, feeling the atmosphere change as he descended. Evnetually he reached the bottom and looked out at the crowd. Another packed show tonight... their Youtube channel must be working gangbusters for their attendance. Malaki walked around to the back and met up with the manager, always holding a clipboard. "Ah... looks like my main man Anomaly is in the building. Guess what? You'll be the main event, so I hope you got two songs picked out for me." Malaki nodded and handed a slip of paper to the manager. After reading the names of the two songs he was singing tonight, the manager gave Malaki the thumbs up and he waited backstage, waiting for his turn to come to perform for the audience.

Dia I I Mentions: Glory and Aztec Dia looked at her mother. She was fidgety, scarf pulled up over her nose as she tried to hide herself from the world around her. She was terrified, she wanted to be back home, not out in the open. She shook her head at her mother's question. Her hands shook slightly, she was scared. She scooted closer to her brother and mother, wanting to get comfort from them.
"I'm okay. I don't want to be here. When can we go?" She asked her mother, looking at her and to her brother. She put her hands in her pockets, shuddering. She wanted her dad, she wanted him back.

Twins Nyx & Dakota || Mentions: Levushka, Eachother As the two headed back towards the house, they could both hear Levushka's voice calling out their names. "Yeah, we are out here," Nyx spoke, raising her voice, barely putting anything into it. Lately, she had been very lazy, and out of energy, the child was taking everything out of her. She was thinner then normal, but thankfully not dreadfully thin that she could drop dead any moment. No, just thinner then usual. Her collarbone showed more, and her feet and hands had sunken in, not much, barely a difference. When Lev came into view, wrapping an arm around her, Nyx rested her head against him, sighing quietly. When he asked if she had slapped Dakota, she sigh, "Yeah..she was touching me-" "Too make sure you were fine," Dakota grumbled, interrupting her. She looked at her hand, and shook it, "Damn. And I thought you were going to act better like when your on your peri-" Nyx whipped her head back, glaring at her sister, with pure anger. Dakota held her hands up, "Don't kill me." Nyx leaned back against Levushka, sighing again, but more heavily. She had an arm sitting ontop of her stomach, and the other was gently rubbing it. She had a concerned look on her face, just staring down at her belly. She began to open her mouth to say something, but stopped herself. "I need to eat," she spoke, and stopped rubbing her stomach, holding her fingers to her chin. "Chips..no, icecream. Yeah." Glory || Mentions: Dia, Aztec Glory looked at Dia, she knew she wasn't enjoying the place they were in, and sighed quietly. As the girl scooched over, she reached over, wrapping an arm around her shoulder, rubbing her, kissing the top of her head. "I'm okay. I don't want to be here. When can we go?" Her smile faded away slowly, and she licked her dry lips. "I know sweety, I know. You need to eat, and we can't go into the grocery stores, I'm sorry," she rubbed the young childs shoulder again, pulling her close. On each side of her, there was a child. Aztec was burrying himself into Glorys sweater, and Dia was not comfortable. "We will be going soon, I promise." Just in time, the waitress came back with two boxes, and two apple juices. One box was full of unsorted, filled, donuts, and the other was full of small, bite-size rounded donuts. Glory said her thanks, and took the apple juices, handing them each to the children. Reaching over for the donuts, she opened up the boxes, taking few small stacks of napkins, placing them in front of the two. "Choose your weapons."
Aztec looked up at his mother, seeing as she was teasing. He slowly reached out, and took the apple juice, opening it, taking a few sips. As if those sips were the sips of bravery, he began to reach out for some donuts, and began eating them, not even trying to hide behind his mother.

Cybele Pastrana | Mentions: Open - Cybele had always been a demure girl. Patient, kind, but all around angelic in personality. She never spoke up, and tend to swallow negative emotions down her throat. She was, by all means, the most agreeable person. She loved her simple books, her simple flowers, and her simple life. If an outsider were to walk past Cybele, one might notice how pristine her appearance and personality was, but see nothing out of the ordinary. There was nothing out of the ordinary about Cybele--well, at least on the outside. - Ever since integrating back into daily human life, she made ends meet by hosting a little flower shop. Small and quaint, and rarely bustling with activity. She loved the fact it was so hidden away from the rest of the city, like a little charm that only residents to the area were familiar with. - There was an open area in the front of the shop--a large two-way window that put many of the exotic flowers up front. To showcase her incredible boquet wrapping abilities, Cybele would wrap her orchids up with velvet bows and glistening papers, then hoist them on the highest shelf up front to decorate the exterior of the shop. Alongside the flowers, she'd lace the wooden "OPEN" sign out front with fairy lights, and do the same to the interior of the shop. The inside was quite homely, covered in rugs, mats, and small seating areas for frequenters to sit and enjoy the energy of the flower shop. - That day, Cybele was running on a lazy schedule. Clean the draining system for the dahlias, fix the broken succulent pots, and carry out some orders that had been placed for a wedding a few weeks ago. She stood awkwardly at the front desk near the door, tapping her fingers rhytmically in bordeom. Edited at October 3, 2021 08:28 PM by Popee The Performer

Dia and Jackson I I Mentions: Glory and Aztec Dia nodded, looking around as she was still nervous. When the food got there she held a weak smile and pulled her scarf down below her chin to sip the apple juice. She sighed, still looking around except when she wanted some food. She stopped looking around and put her juice down to get a doughnut. She smiled, taking a bite of the thing and her smile grew. She downed the rest of the food quickly, smiling even wider. She saw her little brother eating one too and she felt safe. They were a family and they were all safe. "This is good." She said, grabbing another pastry. "Thank you mom, I love you." Dia said, smiling and side hugging her mother and then giving her brother a pat on the head. "I hope we find a home soon."
Jackson wandered through the city. He was lost, he didn't even know why he was still looking for them. He had been looking for awhile and found nothing. He had lost them. He stopped by a rec center and slipped in, taking his bag with him. He stole a free shower and changed into some new clothes he bought and went out quickly. It didn't help, he still felt horrible. He sighed, stuffing his hands in his pockets, staring at the ground as he walked along. He'd start having to look for a place to slee soon. Then he'd move on to the next place tomorrow.

Night Chetan | M: Kage(ind), Eclipse(ind) Night hefted the box of tools up another notch on the ladder. He hammered down the last of the shingles. Wiping his forehead, he slowly went down the ladder before finally giving up as he realized he left the tools on the roof. Scratching his head, he sighed before teleporting to the roof. He was supposed to use the ladder like a normal man, but you know, he wasn't a normal man. Picking up the tools, he teleported back down before putting them away. The old mansion was starting to look nice. He had found it on the outskirts of town and him and Kage had been fixing it up since. The absence of Ibex made it a great home to live in, especially with their son now.
Night gave the mansion a look over before nodding in satisfaction. The shingles made it look nicer, plus it would help with a couple of those leaks. A white fence surrounded the yard and a concrete path led to the front door and porch. They were lucky to have found it. A garage completed it nicely, a two door. Walking to the back porch, Night slipped inside to the kitchen. With the years, he had gotten better with cooking although he still couldn't bake a decent desert. He would mostly just go to the store to get one for birthdays. Night looked out the back door, spotting lights starting to light up before powering down again. California was beautiful, inside and out. He could probably just watch the city all day long. Nighttime was the most beautiful. Out here, you could see the stars in the sky as well as the city lights lit up. It was perfect. Well, the views were nice yes, but to enjoy it with Kage and Eclipse, that was what made it perfect.
Eclipse. Where was that boy? He was always somewhere around here but Night always missed him by a second. Night chuckled, Eclipse took after both him and his mother. Night looked once more outside, this time scanning for his son, who sometimes was in his unicorn form, but saw nothing. Turning, he headed inside to look for his partner. They had decided on partners as they both weren't too sure about marriage. He twisted the ring on his finger, a metal band that symbolized their relationship. Like a promise ring, one that showed that they were together even if not bound with marriage. Night smiled gently at the ring before going deeper into the house to look for Kage.

Malaki never understood how Mosh was able to draw these crowds for afternoon shows, but it was a big city and they've been around for a while, so he didn't doubt the process. One by one the talent came and went, giving their songs to the audience and entertaining them from some degree to another, and soon it was Malaki's turn to perform. He didn't have band mates, so the Mosh would have extra performers, strangely called The Extras, in case a band needed an extra instrument, but in Malaki's case he needed the whole band. The lights went dim and Malaki skulked into position. The two electic guitarists stood beside him, and after getting the go ahead, the guitarists began playing, with the lighting slowly illuminating the room, revealing Malaki in between the two electric guitar players as they played the opening. Malaki took the microphone off of the stand and began singing, using his softer vocals to lure the crowd in, before the chorus exploded and his intense vocals ripped through the lyrics, giving them an intense feel as he sang. He saw the crowd whipped up into a frenzy as he performed, so he knew he had them eating out of his hands. Looks like there are a bunch of metalheads in attendance... good. Malaki continued on with the song, switching back and forth from soft to intense back to soft again through the first song. The instrument players ended the song and the crowd cheered and applauded his first song, but he had one more to go. The drummer came back to life as the double pedals were put to work, filling the air with intense, fast paced beats, slowly building until the guitarists began playing the second song, and the crowd came to life once again, this time with some of them jumping to the beat of the music as Malaki performed again. The second song would only require an introductory and outroductory scream, so he knew he had it in the bag... as long as he didn't accidentally use his ability to freak someone out, of course. Malaki went on autopilot as he perform, letting his body move for him instead of his brain, letting the song dictate his movements. Eventually, the end of the song came and Malaki prepared for one last scream. Taking a deep breath, he held the scream until the instruments were silenced and stopped. Noticing that no one was scared out of their minds after that, Malaki knew his job was done and went off stage.

Kate sighed, glaring at the room she was trying to fix. She was trying to nail a piece of wood to cover the hole in the wall, but Night had the tools so she was currently trying nail the nail in with the back of a sword she has created for herself. It was sorta working, although the dagger started to slip in her hands and she lost her grip as the back hit the nail. The dagger tore through her hands and left a bloody scratch against both of her hands. She cursed as she dropped the dagger and blood started to drip everywhere She kicked the dagger and it disappeared. She hasn't even been able to finish what she was trying to do. She growled and muttered profanities as she walked to the bathroom to grab something to stop the bleeding on her hands. She shook her head. Once she bandaged her hands, a half ass job, barely stopping the bleeding, she headed down to the kitchen to see how Night was faring. "Die bastard!" She heard her child scream at soemthing. She decided to check it out and found him drawing a stick figure gunning down another stick figure. She rolled her eyes and watched the child. "Calm down child. Come help me look for some food." She told him, reaching out her hand. He looked up at her and nodded, dropping his pencils. He noticed the bandages and looked up at his mother with a resided eyebrow. He took her hand and her injuries melted away. She smiled slightly, his powers were surprising, but cool she supposed. "Finally done with that roof? Took you long enough. Next time try to actually be fast." She said playfully, smile dancing on her lips. She liked their new place, it was perfect for the three of them. Although now that they had it she was determined to get Angel back from Lev, even though having both children would be a handful.

Burning Flame | M: Arlin(ind) Flame stalked through the woods, slowly at first before speeding up as the Ibex started towards the desert. The small forest that bordered near their cabin gave plenty of deer and rabbits, as well as a small stream that gave them plenty of fish. Nevada was a pretty good place, lots of space and away from the busy city. Granted, they were close to the California border but the forest was a pretty good place. The cabin was right outside the forest itself, hidden a grove of pine trees. There was a lake, but it was a bit close to the town.
Her thoughts drifted back to ibex that had made it to the open plains. Nocking an arrow, she took aim, releasing a breath as the ibex headed for the river. The large goat skin would look nice one tanned. She narrowed her eyes before releasing the arrow. It whipped silently through the air before lodging itself in its throat. It dropped a second later. Walking over, she quickly gutted it, leaving the remains for the coyotes before taking her catch back towards the trail. Following the trail for a mile, she split off at a tree that was split before slipping into the large grove of trees. Going past a few oaks, she came across the pines and the cabin. She sighed contentedly before placing the Ibex down. Walking inside, she went to look for Arlin.
