Alright, she was the one in charge of making the decision. Easy enough. Mouse remained silent for a good moment, thinking over the pros and cons of each option they had. Going home meant having to deal with her parents, and even though they knew she was just friends with Daxter there would be some sort of comment later about him and Mouse didn’t want to deal with that. Plus there would probably be the “why don’t you go to college like he is” talk as well, and Mouse wasn’t ready for that, either. Right now putting up with just Maddie seemed like the better choice to her. Plus if Daxter needed anything his supplies would be right there, and if time allowed he could still study for that test he had coming up in the comforts of his own dorm room.
With her mind made up, Mouse started heading in the direction of the college, motioning for Daxter to follow alongside her.

Dorm it is then!Daxter wasn't really a fan of walking outside this close to night.True it wasn't officially the time for murder but it was close enough to worry you.He was mostly worried about what would happen if Maddie was awake still and decided to get to her usual enquiry self.
He liked the exercise though.Granted that people walked from place to place due to everything being so close together,there were those who chose to drive in order to get home fast enough."We should be able to get in without much issue but if we need to I can find a way in that will involve less worry about the teachers and such."

As long as nothing got in their way they would be at the dorms before nightfall. It was certainly getting closer to the time where it was no longer safe to go outside, but they would be fine. So far nobody in town had mentioned the really gorey stuff that tended to pop up as the creatures really got going. Nobody had lost any pets just yet, livestock was still going unscathed, and nobody had had any close encounters this year as of yet. Mouse was sure they’d be fine. The thing they’d have to worry about the most would be Maddie and whether or not she was in a pestering mood.
At the mention of maybe needing an excuse to get her in, Mouse looked over at Daxter for a moment before looking back to what was in front of her as she walked. ”You could tell them I’m a visiting cousin that you haven’t seen in years, they’d buy that, wouldn’t they?” Well, maybe not. They weren’t the most similiar in looks, but so long as they weren’t trying to pass off as siblings then surely the cousin story would work.

Daxter raised his eye brows at that."Doesn't seem too shabby.They probably will buy it."True he knew they were the shallowest when it came to students trying to sneak people in.And when it was a boy and a girl going in together they were sure to be skeptical.But he figured they'd cross that bridge as they got there.
As they got there appeared sooner than he thought.The place was your typical dorm housing.Many floors and windows numbered the side of the structure.It was a dull tan with white bricks running along the edges and corners.And once they were inside he wasn't surprised to find most of the lights still on,ready to welcome the students from the blanket of night that would soon cover them.
As they walked up the flights of stairs to the second floor you could see the apparent cloning of the floors.All the same tan,with 6 rooms on either side of the hall,with one hall on one side of the stairs,the other on the other.Daxter was especially surprised to notice no one had seen them.Without giving it much thought he entered his residence and set his stuff down on his desk next to the door."Looks like Maddie's asleep.Must've studied herself to sleep."He informed Mouse as she followed him in.He had chosen to claim the right side of the room,even though Maddie had just wanted to share everything.

As the cat began to struggle, Sparrow loosened his grip slightly and carefully shifted the stray in his arms. He hoped that would calm the animal down.
Robin contiuned to lead the way towards the stores. She had a vague idea of where to get some cat food for the stray. In silence, the pair made the trip down to one of the pet stores. Like most other places, walls were lined with supplies and some animals waiting to get to new homes. The young woman's gazed flickered over the pets as they headed to the section for cat food. Robin quickly picked up two things of canned food before heading to the counter.
Sparrow hovered nearby, talking a look at what the small shop had to offer. The cat was still wrapped safely in his arms as she browsed the selections.
(Haha yeah poor Gifti. Robin and Sparrow have no idea what they're getting into. Also I was thinking about possibly bring Aster into the rp as well~)

Mouse — ProtractorMouse liked to think that she was rather smart, and she was sure if they needed to use it the whole cousin story would work without a hitch. Besides, it wasn’t like anybody would actually look into it and check that they weren’t related. And if they wanted to pull the whole “boys and girls can’t be in the same room after dark” card then Mouse knew for a fact that wouldn’t work. Daxter’s own roommate was a girl, they couldn’t pull the rule that boys and girls weren’t allowed together. While they walked to his room, Mouse looked around the residence hall. Everything looked so bland and the same, like some glorified prison that people had to pay for to get into. Mouse didn’t see how people went through this for at least four years of their life, but hey, everybody was different and had their own things they wanted to do. Following her friend to his room, Mouse watched as he put his stuff down. She hadn’t been in his room too many times so it was still a bit odd to her, but she was getting used to it. ”Perfect, now we’ve basically got this place all to ourselves. So long as she doesn’t wake up, we’re good.” Not that she would stop her research for the sake of Maddie, but the prospect of not having her around was great for Mouse. Without asking to make sure it was okay, Mouse made her way over to Daxter’s bed and took a seat, getting comfortable as she pulled her phone out of her pocket. ”Ya know, I haven’t heard a lot about college parties ending with a bunch of drunk idiots going outside and getting gutted, or does the college just cover it up?” Who knew, there could be some sort of cover up conspiracy at the college. Mouse wouldn’t put it past the college officials to do something like that, it made sense to her. Gifti — AmberAll he had wanted was food. It had been a simple want, but now he was stuck in the arms of a young man and he would soon be heading to the house he and his sister owned. Gifti continued to struggle for a good while longer, but once he realized he wasn’t going to get out he finally gave up. Maybe...maybe going to their house wouldn’t be too bad. It wouldn’t be as comfortable as where he lived since he was accustomed to the place, but if he played his cards right he would be kept warm and would be given enough food to last him for a day or two, and that had to be worth all of this trouble at least. Stuck in the arms of the guy, the Bengal now had a new strategy; play it cool and calm, get fed, and later in the night find a way to get out of the house and make it back to his place before being caught by anything outside. Now with this plan Gifti looked up at the guy carrying him, meowing softly and giving him a nudge. Play it cute, get some food, and leave. You can do that, Gifti. You’ve got this, just work that old charm you used to have.

"Well that really all depends on who you ask."Daxter replied with a sigh."Some would say yes,some would say it was but the dream of a confused druggie.Though as far as I know the doors are locked as soon as night falls so it'd be a bit hard to get out without the key."He never was one to break that kind of rule when it meant keeping his head on his shoulders.Though he wasn't keen on the idea of testing the locks either.He flipped a switch and it turned on the lights on his side of the room.He was just glad he could look across to the other dorms around campus to see other lights on.
"So where do we start at?Continue on through the well known creeps or venture deeper into this cess pool?"

The cat had calmed down by the time they reached the store. He didn't seem to struggle or act up again during their trip either. Sparrow was glad the Bengal appeared to be more comfortable with his presence. Robin quickly finished checking out and paying for the cans of food. She was ready to go home, wanting to beat sundown. After the incident with the unsettling stranger, she wanted to get home.
The pair left the pet store and began to wander away from town. Their house wasn't too far and they would certainly reach it soon enough. As they walked through town and then the neighborhood, people were already on edge and rushing to lock their doors or remain inside for the evening. Although they still wondered why people hid from the dark, they didn't dare ask anyone else. After the incident from earlier, it would be better to contiune the long hours of research they had been doing for a few weeks.
Eventually the small group reached the street where their house stood at the end. It was rather lonely with the other two houses nearby simply old and abandoned. It was kind of creepy, but the twins didn't care. They had been with it for the past months and they were still fine with it then. With Sparrow's hands full with the cat, Robin had to be the one to dish the key out of her backpack, force the stubborn door open, then try to get it to close. It was always a frustrating process to deal with. It took a few minutes, but she managed it just fine. Sparrow walked in with the cat and set him down as his sister got the door closed.
"Welcome home," he said to the cat. Robin rolled her violet-blue eyes.
"He can't understand you, you know."

Mouse — ProtractorThat made sense, the school locking all the doors and what not after night fell. Even still, she couldn’t help but wonder if there were some people that found ways of getting out. College kids didn’t do well trapped in their dorm rooms at night, especially if they managed to get in one too many drinks and were dared to go out. While human deaths weren’t exceedingly common since most people took their nightly precautions seriously, Mouse wouldn’t be surprised to see that most deaths happened to be college students. But enough of that, she had to focus on what was important here. Looking at Daxter, Mouse gave a shrug. ”How about in the spirit of being back in your dorm we look up some stuff about witches? You could maybe add some of what we find into your Salem studies,” she pointed out. Mouse hadn’t forgotten about his own studying, but she wasn’t completely giving up her own research just yet. Gifti — AmberFrom the store and to their house Gifti remained mostly still, only moving if he felt like he needed to lest a paw or leg fall asleep on him. A few times there he found himself subconsciously purring against the warmth of the young man that held him close. It wasn’t until they had made it to the house and Gifti had been put down on the ground that he started to actually do more than just be held and purring. He had to admit that he liked the guy better than his sister, especially after her little retort toward the guy when he had welcomed Gifti home. The sister seemed a bit like a fun killer, and that would have really upset Gifti years ago. Now it simply annoyed him ever so slightly, but once again he had more important things to tend to than letting his annoyance stew. The empty feeling in his stomach reminded him that he had ventured out earlier for food. With expectant amber eyes, Gifti shifted his gaze from male to female, hoping they’d get the silent message and finally feed him the food they had just bought him.

The cat looked up at the siblings with round amber eyes. He seemed to either be begging for attention, food, or both. Sparrow took one if the cans of food from the bag and popped it open. He showed the cat the food before setting it on the tile floor of the kitchen. Next he took a bowl from the cabinet, filled it with water and set it beside the Bengal.
"There you go little buddy," the young man said softly.
As her brother cared for the cat, Robin went around the house to make sure all the doors and windows were locked. Unfortunately there were no alarms in the old house. Their grandmother never bothered to get a system and the twins couldn't afford one at the moment. The young redhead didn't like that. There was no use in complaining, however. Once she checked all the locks on both floors, Robin headed back to the kitchen.
"Everything's locked up tightly," she reported. "We should be fine."
"Alright, thanks for checking," Sparrow replied with nod. His sister smiled before heading off to collect some of their grandmother's journals. Perhaos there would be people answers in one of her rambling entries.

Daxter nodded in understanding."Ah yes,the servants of the Devil himself.Let's see what the vast expanse of the internet holds."He never was too trusting of certain sources of knowledge.Even books had their flaws.And since as far as logical thinking went there were no primary sources,all it was was folklore and legends."I've learnt that they were thought to use magic to hurt their victims spiritually.All very confusing and I'm glad I can opt out first sign of a witch."

Gifti — AmberFinally, he thought to himself when food was finally being put out for him. As soon as it was placed down on the ground Gifti sprinted forward and went straight to eating the wet food, tongue rasping over it to bring it into his mouth. Before he knew it over half of it was already gone and he paused in his feast, licking his muzzle and whiskers free of any remnants that might have stuck. The Bengal then turned to the water bowl, looking it over for a second before sticking a paw in. He pawed at the water for a moment before bringing it to his mouth and licking up the droplets. Once satisfied Gifti stretched out and let out a little mrrrr. Hunger no longer gnawing at his stomach, the spotted tomcat has curiosity take a hold of him. Wondering what the siblings were up to he padded after the young woman, wondering where exactly she was going and what she was going to do. [ night three! ] Mouse — ProtractorA faint snicker could be heard coming from Mouse at Daxter’s comment. ”You make witches sound so pleasant,” she joked as she started to look them up on her phone, green eyes narrowing in concentrating as she scanned over a few of the first websites to pop up. She stopped when something caught her attention. She took a moment to read it over before looking up at Daxter. ”According to this,” she nodded down to her phone, ”witches tend to form a group called a coven. Apparently there’s ranks and jobs tasked to those certain ranks as well.” Mouse had never really thought of witches as something that would form groups; most of the media she saw witches in had them as solitary old women in the middle of the woods with a black cat for company. ”You think Echo Ridge has a coven?” Mouse questioned, genuinely curious to see what Daxter had to say about all of that.

"Aw when was your last meal fella?" Sparrow wondered aloud. He leaned down and rubbed the cat's head as he scarfed down his meal. He watched the cat curiously as he dipped his paw in the water and licked the droplets. The brunett chuckled as he watched the animal. He had never seen a cat do that before, though it wasn't like he had been around cats that often. After a few moments, the tabby left the room and began to follow his sister.
"Hey where are you going?" He asked. Of course the animal wouldn't answer, he couldn't. However it was a natural reaction from Sparrow. He shrugged and didn't bother chasing after the little guy.
Robin briskly made her way back upstairs to her grandmother's chest. After they moved in, they had collected her lose writings and placed them with the others in the chest in one of the spare rooms. As she headed up the stairs, she could hear Sparrow say something then something creaking behind her. The young woman was surprised to find the tabby following her. She smiled at the cat briefly before turning her attention back to her task.
Once she reached the chest, she pulled open the lid and pulled out her journals from the previous autumn and winter. They would hopefully have answers. Robin pulled up the rolly chair and fell into it, ready to read some if the last things her grandmother wrote. As she flipped through the start of fall from the previous year, she glanced towards the cat.
"You going to join me?" She mused. He can't understand me, but it doesn't hurt to check I suppose, she thought with a smile.

One of the perks of being in his cat form was that he didn’t have to answer to a single person if he didn’t want to. He could meow and paw at them as much as he wanted, or he could simply go on about his life and ignore a person for as long as he wanted. Gifti couldn’t do that as a human lest he come off as incredibly rude. Not that he really cared about being seen as rude or anything anymore, but still. There was a higher standard put on him when he was human.
Even though he could understand that was being said, Gifti simply ignored it and walked on with his tail high in the air. He followed after the girl on silent paws, curious as to what she was going to get into. Maybe it wasn’t anything special or particular and he was just curious over nothing, but Gifti has nothing to lose so he was going to check things out.
Once upstairs with the girl Gifti let out a faint meow and watched as she went through an old chest to get out something that looked to be multiple journals. Now that was interesting. Gifti perked his ears up and slowly moved closer toward the girl. The journals looked and smelled way too old to be the girl’s. Perhaps they had belonged to a parent or something, which was all the more interesting. What was she going to do with the journals? Maybe there was something in there, something written inside those old pages that could both satisfy whatever answers the girl was seeking and could perhaps even help Gifti figure out more about the creatures that roamed in the night.

The cat still followed her around, which the young woman actually found kind of amusing. She rather liked the company. though wouldn't tell Sparrow that.
For the next half hour, Robin began to skim through the writings of Grandma Wyatt. Like the last time she read through the entires, most of her writings were rather boring. They were simply filled with details of her day to day life with the odd mention of staying at night because "they" come out. The young woman huffed and closed the journal before tossing it on the nearby desk. She got up and began to pace around the room.
"Who are 'they'? What are 'they'?" She paused for a moment and grumbled. "Why is everyone in this stupid town so afraid of the dark during the fall? Why won't anyone give us proper answers?" Robin paused for a moment then kicked the desk in frustration. She heard a thud come from underneath the desk then something falling onto the floor. The maticallic object rolled from beneath the piece of furniture and beside Robin's foot. Readjusting her glasses, the young woman leaned down and took a quick glance at the object. It was silver with a few splotches if discoloration, likely due to age. The young woman picked up the tricket and turned it over in her hands.
"A key?" She breathed in surprise. "You see this?" She asked the cat in surprise. She paused for a moment and rolled her eyes.
"Right. You're a cat. You can't speak or understand what I'm saying." Robin scratched her chin then leaned down to examine the desk, curious as to what else it could be hiding.

Perhaps Daxter had a point, but Mouse wasn’t entirely sure on that. Echo Ridge seemed like the place that would have something like a coven amongst its population. Or... ”If not a coven, then, maybe just a witch or two? It’s highly unlikely this place hasn’t attracted at least one or two.”

It was starting to come together for Gifti now. He knew what she was looking for in the journals and what she wanted answers for - the same thing he wanted. He probably knew as little as the girl herself did about all of this, even after his own experience with the creatures. He had never directly seen anything, but he had caught a small glimpse of something that looked reddish to him. He had heard the sharp growls and guttural hisses of the thing that had tore his sister apart and left her splayed open for the world to see in the morning. Somehow he had gotten away physically unscathed. Emotionally and mentally...well, he hadn’t been so lucky there.
The sound of the girl kicking the desk jolted Gifti out of his reverie. He jumped forward and gave out a little hiss. He must have been deeper in thought that he had given himself credit for if he had been startled by the kick as much as he had been.
Trying to calm his nerves and settle, he slowly approached the girl, fur still a bit stuck up like needles along his spine. His amber eyes went round as he saw the key in her hands. I wonder what that’s for, he thought to himself, perhaps just as curious as the girl about what the house’s previous owner was hiding inside.

After a moment of searching under the desk, Robin found where the key fell from. It was knocked loose from a small nook under one of the legs. With a satisfied nod she pulled herself from out under the desk and began to examine the front of it. Testing all the drawers she eventually found one that was locked. With an excited gasp, she grabbed the key and hoped it fit.
Sparrow, who had been downstairs the entier time on their laptop, joined his sister and the cat in the room.
"Hey what are you up to?" He asked curiously. The tabby watched Robin as she messed with the old desk.
"I found this key after kicking the desk and now I'm trying to see what it opens." The young woman paused for a moment as the key fit into the keyhole. With a satsifying click, the drawer was open. Robin glanced back at her brother as he approched for a closer look. They shared a smile and pulled open the drawer.

"Well that could be the case but why exactly.Actually the real question is why does this place attract so many things."Daxter was worried there was some cult summoning the things.Or some army trying to get something from the townsfolk.Whatever it was it had to go deeper than just the recent history of the town.

Gifti —
Now this was interesting. Anytime there was a hidden key leading to some secret compartment in anything there was bound to be some sort of high valued artifact whether it be another journal or jewelry or something. Gifti expected it to be more of a journal considering what was already found near the desk.
Gifti looked over to see that the woman’s brother had come to join them in this. He offered a twitch of his tail in silent greeting before heading over to get as close as he could to the girl as she stuck the key in the desk. His ears perked forward and he got up on his back legs, front paws resting on the girl’s leg as he tried to get a better look as to what was inside the drawer.
Mouse —
Now that was a really good question, and Mouse had to admit she was a bit annoyed at herself for not thinking about that first. Maybe Daxter was onto something here that was a bit more important than just looking into the different types of creepy crawlies that went bump in the night.
”That’s a good question,” she repeated her thought aloud. ”Maybe there’s something here that attracts these things...or something that happened long ago that created some sort of...energy or something. I haven’t heard anything happening like this outside of Echo Ridge, so there’s something about this place that these things like.” The town was old and, quite frankly, Mouse didn’t know much about the history of it. That was something she needed to change though.
