all tomorrow's deals are done. [ toothless + ember ]

Pov Eden
It was supposed to just be an easy shift, like any other, just help run booths or give information to the guests, but with her family, it was never not chaotic, even in public no matter how hard they tried to be normal. Sadly one thing had led to another, Dylan and Zoie had gotten into a fight, what about Eden didn’t care to learn, and other members were dragged in and now, here she was flying about trying to track down the rest of her family. "You think it would be easy to find things like a tiger shark or a snow leopard in this type of environment, ' ' she crowed to herself. But surely the chaos that was currently going on down below her of suddenly wild animals being about the carnival had played into an effect.

Settling on a branch to catch her breath, she ruffled her black feathers, watching the scenes below her. Before taking off from the branch once more, determined to first find Jude to help him turn back, she didn't want to deal with the disaster of what could happen with a tiger shark being out and about. She was once this was all said and done, going to rip her cousins a new one for dragging everyone else into their petty conflict.

POV Aaron
Aaron was thankful for being a fox, with the fairly small size it made it somewhat easy to weave through the crowd and under the flaps of the booths. People shouted out in surprise as the russet red creature darted past them, the shouts of some excited kids behind him. “I think it went this way,” one of the kids called to their companions. Just great.. He took a sharp turn and sprinted down a way that looked like it would be least grounded. His ears kept perked to listen to his surroundings hoping to either find his family or at the very least a place to hide, to either wait out till he turns back or till the kids find something else to go torment.

Darting under the hanging cloth, that made up a small booth, where you threw darts to pop the balloons. It was currently down at the moment, as the employee running it had gone and taken their break, and prior to the chaos that had ensued, Aaron had been on his way to cover. Letting out a sigh as he collapsed under the small wood shelf that acted as both a support and a place for darts to rest. He sat up as much as he could under the shelf as he worked to get his breathing back to a normal pace. The chatter outside remained, as families and friends moved about the carnival enjoying the summer day, not having to worry about much.

POV Otto
It was outright miserable! Now he usually adored his animal form, he always found ways to try to show it off, but the heat of the summer did not at all, make being an arctic creature meant that the summer heat, made him for more subjectable to being more overheated compared to the rest of his family. The thick fur that was meant to help aid in keeping heat trapped as he would prowl through the snow, but here in a carnival in the middle of summer, just made him feel sluggish.

Currently he had found a nice shaded spot, while didn’t fully help him deal with the heat of the day, it at least gave a bit of a reprieve with the sun not fully hitting his fur. He could do without the people that were taking pictures of him, or those that grew brave enough to approach him and give him a few scratches or pets. Resting his head on his paws, closing his eyes, hoping that maybe some sleep would help with trying to stave off some of this heat as he wouldn’t be moving around too much. His tail wrapped around himself, as he soon drifted off to sleep. It probably won’t be too long till either one of his family members find him or the curse reverts him back to normal.

POV Zoie
It wasn't like she had intended to cause a fight, but sometimes her brother infuriated her. He had been trying to skip out on his shift yet again, and so of course she had to out his behavior. It wasn't right for them to have to pick up his slack all the time. She sat on the trash can, her tail flicking out behind her. She could hear the chattering of two other raccoons that were a little ways away, residing closer to the forest. Hopping off from the trash can she had perched herself on, she made her way closer to them. But it wasn't anything that was of interest, much like every other time she had tried communicating with the species she was cursed to be. 

POV Dylan
Dylan was furious, as he lounged in a tree, his red ringed tail dangling down from the branch. All he had wanted to do was skip out on a shift, it wasn't that big of a deal right? No of course it wasn't, but leave it to the trash panda to come in and have to try ruin his fun. His fur bristled as he mauled it over in his head. He had a few choice words for this whole thing, and most of them would probably cause him to get into another argument, and probably a few choice words from his parents. It was bad enough having to deal with the curse but having to deal with a sister like Zoie really got on his nerves.

sorry for how long this took, tried to figure out how i was going to go about introducing everyone, ima do it like this just for now to show where everyone is currently, than will change it as they become more established, I'll get this edited with my last two in a bit about to have dinner)

all good no worries, i cant edit eden to have her be looking for the others, inregards to getting help to get the others abck into humans, if you want before i get my replies up)

I love it being Salem though, perfect place for people dealing with a curse turning them into animals due to the zodiac)

EDEN
Eden soon spotted a boy in the fountain, and making her way down, settling on the edge of the fountain, thankful that she had found another family member, watching as Jude submerged himself. She would yell at him for such behaviors, with knowing that he should be back at his booth, did none of her family take their jobs seriously, but currently there was to many people around, that a crow yelling at a boy in a fountain would just draw attention that she did not want right now. Fluffling up her feathers, she would just have to wait for him to realize that she was there to be able to try have a proper conversation with him later.

The current crow was not amused with the situation at all, both from what her cousins had done to now watching another be in a fountain. While she understood the other's plight with having dry skin often. While she hadn't had any issues that she truly was bothered by outside of once a year where she molted her own feathers, which was a hindrance due to the mess, but outside of that she truly felt she had no qualms.

OTTO
Otto was stirred away by a voice, poking his head up and seeing Naomi. "I would assume so, unless you know some other snow leopards that live in Salem," he said, a yawn escaping from him. Observing the otter his tail tip lazily, he glanced around them before allowing his gaze to flick back to her. "Is everything alright?" He didn't mind talking openly in his animal form, as most were rather enjoying the festival, so it probably wouldn't be to big a deal for a snow leopard to be talking to an otter.

DYLAN
Dylan jumped slightly on the branch he had perched himself on, his fur bristling slightly, before sending a brief glare down to the source below him. But light up seeing it was Cora. Jumping downward, using another branch to break some of his momentum so when he landed on the other's shoulder it wouldn't be too harsh a landing. "The one and only," he said flicking his tail, as he balanced himself on Cora's shoulders.

To say he was envious of his cousin for getting to enjoy her free time that came from summer was an understatement, he was rather fumming. He hadn't wanted to get a job, but Eden had kept nagging him about it before going and telling his parents the nerve of her! He often wished that he had been cursed with something cooler like what his family members had, or at least something with better claws so he could really teach the crow a thing or two. "What are you up to? Do you have room for one more to join?" He hoped that he could sneak off to hang out with Cora and her friends, while never truly knowing much about them apart of what she shared about them, it seemed far better then working.

EDEN
Eden flew off the fountain ledge, landing on Jude's head, if she purposely dug her claws in slightly she knew nothing of it, before taking off from it, and landing on the ground as she shifted back to her human form. "Oh can it, fish breath," she said, giving a slight glare. "You are lucky there are bigger things to worry about, otherwise I would be reminding you that I do believe you are supposed to be working." Though once her back was to him she gave a small smile, happy that he was fine, glancing back to him she gave a slight smirk. "Let's get going Sharky, or do you want to play in the water some more?"

Dylan
Dylan sneezed as his nose was poked, shaking out his head, he gave a slight flick of his ear. Cora was probably among the few of his family, both biological, and found that he could tolerate being around. The two he couldn't ever stand were Zoie and Eden, Zoie for reasons that he had never truly inclined to share with others in the family, but Jude and Eden for more rather obvious, Eden nagged him too much and it frankly annoyed him way too much. But it at least was entertaining to watch whatever was going on between her and Jude, maybe to get back at her at some point he could try to have some fun there. He gave a noise, that was his best attempt at a scoff in the red panda form, at her words. "Leave it to you to be boring," he muttered, though his tone was teasing. Hoping off from her shoulder he shifted back, stretching his arms over his head. "Well let's get going to look I suppose." He had been looking forward to slacking off the rest of his shift, but helping Cora look seemed like a great way to at least avoid going back to his booth.

Otto
Otto pushed himself up shifting back, his tail and ears remaining on his body, being among the larger ones, often meant whenever he tried to forcibly turn back instead of waiting for the curse, that he always retained some features from his animal that took till his curse wore off to disappear, not to mention it often also tired him out due to the energy he had to use to make it happen. Standing up and brushing himself off, he offered a light smile to Naomi. "Let's get to it," he said, a slight nervous grin on his face, he really didn't want to imagine what would happen if his sister caught them, the thought alone caused the fur to bristle. Otto hurried after the older woman, to ensure that he wouldn't be left behind.

Aaron
*Hding in booth, will have ehim pop out at one of the groups*

Zoie
*near forest, will have her join up with a group*
Jude is by one of my favorites, mine to write would be probably Eden, and sounds good with Roman, maybe we could have everyone meet up near where he is, and go from there?)

EDEN
Eden felt her face grow hot out of anger and partially embarrassment, though she would deny the embarrassment accusation, at Jude's words. "First off fish breath, I don't sound like that! Second at least I care about my job!" It wasn't like she always meant to be as controlling towards everyone as she usually was, she just wanted to ensure people stayed safe, and often she found herself having to be controlling towards them to ensure that, especially in regards to Jude, he was her longest friend, and no despite the denial she always displayed she did have a strong fondness for him. Glaring sharply after him as she swiped at the water that had gotten on her, flicking out her wrist an annoyed look on her face as she followed after the other man.

After an hour of searching with him, she was beginning to consider trying to get the curse activated again, to try to fly off and see if she could get an advantage in height to spot any of the others, or was considering trying to see if any of the crows that were around the festival, happily picking at the dropped crumbs left by people walking as they ate could help out. Her shoulders had a visible relaxation to them when Jude had shouted over at a certain raccoon, who at the shout happily ran over to them.

ZOIE
Zoie had been about to cut her lose and go into the festival, when she heard a familiar shout, seeing Jude and Eden together, while it wasn't that surprising, those two always seemed to be around one another to some extent, she could recall in the past when the two would actively just make up some excuse to go talk to the other, though she had seen how scary the two got when they would get called out on it, and she was not ready to be another victim of that, at least not right now. Running over to the pair, turning back upon reaching them. "Hey," she greeted them, a cheerful grin on her face. "Finally was able to reunite with some of you!" While she had been to nervous to actually look herself, and what she did try look was from where she had been lingering at the people passing by, but hey she was technically looking, just very badly.

DYLAN
Dylan listened to the other girl ask every question under the sun that she currently had, most were rather amusing, he quite enjoyed it when she was in this kind of stage. "Well we have to get supplies somewhere,' he said with a shrug. "Birds won't go to something made of leaves or made of plastic, but wood is far more familiar to them, so it's easier to attract them to use wood." He gave a shrug thinking that one over some more even when she moved on from it. "Though I suppose doing it could also be due to wanting to get the birds to move from one place to another, like for development purposes and so it's providing them with an easier place to go to when their current home is destroyed?" He glanced the direction that the younger girl had shouted in, and had to bite back his laugh seeing the older tugging alone the younger along.

OTTO
Otto followed after Naomi, making sure to keep close to her, after a while he was thankful that his ears and tail disappeared. He stopped almost crashing into her upon hearing the shout, following the direction he saw Cora and Dylan together, before he could offer a wave himself, he felt Naomi tugging on his wrist and stumbled slightly but soon was able to match her pace as he was led over to the other pair. "Hey," he greeted to them, as he gave a slight wave with his free hand.

AARON
Aaron soon had turned back to normal, after the curse finished running it's course, while he knew he always could have just turned back on his own, he just often never really did, preferring to just run it out. Crawling from under the booth that he had deemed to be his safe place for however long it had been, glancing at his phone to check the time, he groaned upon the realization of just how long he had been there. He just had to pray he wouldn't run into Eden till the end of his shift otherwise who knows what will be left of him. Standing up and brushing himself off best that he could, he tucked his nose under his scarf as he headed off to try find someone, looking through his contacts he debated on who to call, Eden and Jude, both out of the equation, if he tried Jude chances were high Eden was close behind him and would hear it was him on the phone.

sounds good!)

EDEN
Eden's eyes sharpened as Jude started yelling at her, her hands turning into fists. "Don't you dare turn this on me! While yes I suggested the prospect of us getting jobs instead of just bumming around, and don't act like having some cash won't hurt you!" She was glaring daggers at the boy. "If it is so horrible for you, fine quit like I could care less! Go be a jerk somewhere else, seaweed head! I hope the next time you go to the beach you get stuck in a ship wreck!" She turned away from him, determined to just let Jude keep going off, right now she was sick of him. She was about to give in to shoot in more to him, when a new voice came in, one that wasn't a family member. She looked to the new boy, taking a breath to compose herself. She flashed him a cheerful smile. "Yes everything is fine, it's just that guy over there causing problems, but that's usual." She held out for a handshake. "I'm Eden."

OTHERS
Truth be told this was nothing new to any of them. If there was even a single day where these two didn't fight, that was a day to be scared. Otto sunk behind Naomi, as he watched the two go at it. Zoie meanwhile just glared a bit, she didn't take kindly to being called raccoon eyes!

Aaron
Aaron didn't take long to find the others once he heard people talking about a purple haired guy and white haired girl where arguing he knew where to go. And when he got to the scene it wasn't anything he hadn't seen before, honestly he just wished the two would either grow up and admit their feelings or just quit being friends. Sure he's been friends with Jude for about as long as he could remember but this routine was really just getting old right now. 

Sighing he walked over getting between the two, just incase they tried a physical go for one another. "Can we really not trust you guys to be alone? Asking for a friend." He said untucking his face from the scarf to be heard properly, before he nuzzle it back underneath the comfort of the scarf. He shot a look between the two of them, before it turned to the new voice, raising an eyebrow at his sister.  Slightly amused by how quick she shifted her mood. Observing the new person wearily he shifted closer toward Jude, as he trusted if this person was some kind of threat Jude was always the best person to be around.

Finished)

EDEN
Eden gave a slight glare towards brother, before returning it back to the newcomer. Her gaze snapped fully away at Jude's next words, if the hurt and panicked look on her face before she coukd quickly manage to mask it back behind her smile from earlier, the girl clearly cared a whole lot if the boy had quit or not. "Nice to meet you to," she said her gaze back to him. She glances to the others before giving annod to his question. "We do for our whole lives so far." While she did best to save face in front of the stranger and her family she continued to worry about Jude, while she knew he often struggled with his anger and that it was easy to provoke it due to his shark zodiac, and she certainly never helped matters always being the one to usually set him off, she couldn't help it though. Ever time she tried talking with him she got nervous that she would slip up and confess, so she choose to just act like she hated him. She knew he would come back, but it didn't ever stop her from being a wreck while he was gone. "How about you, dont think ive ever seen you around before?"

OTHERS
Otto relaxed under Naomi's touch, finding it reassuring. He flinched as Jude kicked the trash can, he glanced at the others, before turning his gaze on the new comer that Eden was talking to.  Dylan gave Cora's arm a slight squeeze to reassure it. "It's okay," he said, while this was nothing new, it still didn't sometimes get unnerving even to him. Zoie shifted about on her feet, she moved briefly to tip the trash can back up, and began to pick up what fell out. 

AARON
Aaron gave a slight sigh and debated on going after Jude, glancing after the angry older boy he shook his head out, his ears poking out amongst his hair pulling back against his head, nope that was his funeral waiting to happen.  Maybe in a bit he would go after Jude just to make sure he was at least okay, despite knowing that this was fairly routine by now that Jude leaves, but much like Eden he tended to worry regardless. Looking at the new comer he moved to go be with the rest of his family.
I'll get up more in a bit, break is over but I'm off at 10pm(which is about 1.5 hours away)
