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

DYLAN
Dylan looked around before taking off, not bothering to tell Otto nor Roman where he was going heading for the barn. "Cora! Cora," He shouted as he searched around the building for her. Not able to find her he took off back for the party to find Sam, hoping she was with him.

OTTO
Otto was embarrassed that he had gone and done something humiliating in front of Roman. He had been hoping to have done something cool instead, something to get the boy's attention. But instead he had to go and faceplant into a tree. "Just so you know I so would have made that. The branches jsut weren't...up to tegulations," He said, trying to save face, like he wasn't currently holding ice to a bruise that was slowly forming on it. Yes he was just going to blame the tree for being at fault, and not his constant desire of showing off to people, because clearly it was nature's fault instead.

EDEN/AARON
EDEN grew worried when Cora hadn't responded, while she was worried about Jude she at least assumed he was still with Amity. She currently was weaving her way through the crowd, Bran following close behind her as she worked to get out of it. Once the pair where Eden tried at calling Cora's phone. Glancing yo the side as she waited for either the voice-mail or for Cora to answer, as Aaron joined her and Bran where they currently were. He gave a polite nod towards the two and just stood in silence his gaze shifting about the still panicked crowd.

OTHERS

DYLAN
Dylan had slammed Sam against the booth, one arm firmly pressing to the other boy's neck. "Where the hell is Cora," He snapped at him. The blonde was seconds away from just straight lunching the other upon not seeing the girl with him. It made him sick that this guy had someone like Cora liking him. He didn't quite care if there would be constant should he decide to strike the other, if it was for Cora it would be worth it in his mind.

OTTO
"I'll gladly ptive it once they figure out the lights situation," He said, while its not like it affected him, some perks that came from his zodiac being night vison, as it gave him great low light vision. He frowned when Dylan took off, but it clicked in his. "He probably went to find Cora, she has... just gets uhm." He wasn't sure if it was his place to share the other girl's fear or not. "Anyways im sure he will be fine." At least Otto hoped. He wasn't exactly buddy buddy with his cousin, so he often sometimes couldn't gauge what the other was up to. He glanced towards some shouting seeing Amity and Jude. "God I wish I could take a picture." While Jude's behavior was worrying, they both currently hated each other. So instead he simply texted in the group chat to let his sister know Jude was acting out.

EDEN/AARON
Eden gave a glance to her phone, and while she didn't want to have to go deal with Jude, if his zodiac was acting up it was better to go deal with it then just letting the boy suffer. But being a crow meant she had terrible night vision, she glanced to Aaron. Her brother gave a slight sigh before grabbing her wrist and tugging her along as he weaved easily through the crowd, much better then she had in getting out of it. Bran following not to far behind the two. The three once getting closer stared at the scene of Amity trying to keep Jude back with rope.

OTHERS

OTTO
Otto glanced to Roman, before turning his gaze back to the scene, right as Jude broke free and took off. "God d-mmit," He muttered, as he stood up. He knew it would probably be best if someone kept an eye on Jude and sadly he was irritated at the idea it might have to be him.

DYLAN
"Bullsh-t," he snapped. "You told her to meet you at the barn. Ahe went and now I cant find her. What did you do to her!"

EDEN/AARON
Eden blinked seeing Jude run off. She gave a brief glance to Amity before pulling out her phone to check the time, would it be to late to call Dr. Minerva and explain what's going on to see if he has an idea about what was up with Jude. Aaron gave a brief glance to the group, before handing his cane over to Eden, before taking off in the direction that Jude went, with the panick and darkness, he decided to take the risk and shifted to his fox form, which made it easier to weave his way through the crowd, though it caused some shrieks from people when he brushed past. Soon he was able to catch up to Jude, shifting back he tried to grab at Jude's arm to tug on it.

Aaron jumped back ever so slightly at Jude's sudden turn. "Is...everything okay," he asked, a frown on his face as he observed the taller boy. "Was...it issues with your zodiac?" He looked away and back towards the party before turning it back to Jude.


At those words he did finally snap and punched Sam in the face. "You should be lucky someone like her likes you, i dont get why, when you are nothing more then trash," He spat at the boy he kept pinned to the wall. He delivered another punch to the boy's face before finally at the very least letting up the pressure he had on his neck.

DYLAN/AARON
Aaron watched Jude leave, half tempted to go after him. But choose against it from fear of his head being bitten off. Taking a breath he headed back for the party. Choosing to not fight the crowd once more instead wlaking around, where he comes across Dylan in a fight, or if one coukd call it that. He headed over when the other boy got away. Dylan was about to throw another punch at what Sam said but he had gotten away. His fist clenched tightly he jumped at the new footsteps but relaxed seeing it was just Aaron. "Shes not with you," He said glaring at Aaron, who simply shook his head.

OTTO/ZOIE/EDEN
Otto ended up going and joining where Eden was, soon joined by Zoie who had left her friends to meet up with everyone.

Eden was in the kitchen, going over the list for a hundredth time. She groaned at the tapping at the kitchen window opening it. There sat Aries, a key in his mouth. "I've told you, I'm out of walnuts. And you resufe to accoet anything else." Aries simply stared at the girl like she was crazy and tapped the key against the windowsill. Eden gave a groan as she raked a hand through her hair. "Can you wait just a few hours till I get back from grocery shopping?" Aries simply became more adamant in his tapping. Eden groaned once again, as frustrating as it was she couldn't help the slight amused smile that was starting to form. 

She instead moved out of the kitchen and soon was outside, sending a text that she was leaving. Aries soon landing on her shoulder, the key still in his mouth as he waited expectantly. "Let's get going then bud, I'll get you your walnuts." She set off for town looking over the list as she did so, she didn't think she was missing anything, but it didn't hurt to just try and see if she could refresh her memory on anything else they could need at the cottage.


Zoie was sitting in her room, reading over a script. It was just one from a play she had been in the year prior, and it had been one of her favorites. Since then she often liked going back and rereading it. She had yet to really go and get ready for the day, as she often was a slow person to get ready. She heard the door a few times but didn't bother to check to see what was going on. She was worried about Cora, but not knowing if the girl was up, choose to wait to see if she heard the girl's voice outside.

OTTO

Otto left his room, as he yawned. He had at least showered and changed clothes for the day, but then proceeded to have taken another nap. He moved and flopped onto one of the love seats of the living room, stretching out and sighed in contentment. He pulled out his phone and just scrolled through the various notifications he had, swiping off ones that didn't interest him and leaving the ones that did.

Eventually the boy decided to start playing on his phone, his eyes narrowed as he tried to play the rhythm game, but the difficulty was starting to irk him after the 5th lost screen flashed in his face.  He groaned dramatically as he tossed the phone to the table. "It's rigged," he complained to no one in particular.

AARON

Aaron was heading down the stairs, in the process of wrapping the scarf around his neck, before walking into the kitchen he glanced to Eden as she agreed with Aries, grabbing an apple and exiting it. He headed back upstairs to grab his book, before heading outside and settling down against the house. It was a nice morning so why not enjoy it. Plus it felt safer then the house currently, the air felt heavy with whatever tension was between Jude and Eden, sure it wasn't an uncommon thing, but for once it felt different then the normal kind.

The book he was reading was clearly worn, the cover was battered, and faded, the corners were peeling, and there were various dirt and pencil marks on the pages. He had read it numerous times before, but it was one he always went back to whenever he was stressed about things, which was a lot, but it usually was a manageable type of stress.

DYLAN

Dylan exited his room, giving a glance to Cora's room. He hadn't slept at all last night, to worried about where she could be, and had even tried to stay out to look for her but eventually he had to have given up due to it getting to dark. He had been sotting in the living room watching the TV on mute when Jude had come with Cora, but seeing how both where he hadn't dared to say anything. Guilt now clawed at his stomach, maybe he should have followed her when she had left for the barn just to ensure that Sam was going to be there, the boy wasn't going to, but maybe he could have prevented whatever happened to her if he had been there.

Dylan took Cora from Jude, being careful of the cast of the girl's leg. He glared after Jude as he headed upstairs. He would have corrected Jude on numerous things he had said, but he also didn't have a death wish right now. He looked to the girl in his arms. He moved heading for her room, carefully adjusting his hold slightly to get it open better before going inside and gently setting her on the bed. He left briefly only to come back with a pillow from one of the couches and setting the leg that had the cast on it. He wasn't sure if she wanted to be around others or not, but figured her bed would still be the best place for her to be resting.

Otto

Otto gave a pout to Roman, as he looked at him. "It has to be, what else would it be," He said. "Im amazing at that game, so clearly its the game being dumb!." Before he could protest further the door was bursting open. He glared at Jude, why can't the boy learn to open doors- his eyes widened seeing Cora, but soon she was passed on to Dylan. He glanced to Roman before sitting up on the loveseat and looked as best he could from where he was seated to the hall Dylan had gone down. But soon his gaze drifted back to Roman. "Welp hopefully this morning is just a once over and today will be fine." He really didn't want to have to deal with another day of drama after yesterday and the previous week.

Forms being slow for me, will edit once I can get to my laptop to try there)

"HOW!? EVEN I CAN'T BEAT THAT," He couldn't help the shout when Roman had completed the level. The one he had failed at 5 times today alone. He didn't bother to look when Jude and Amity left. Insteadd his attention stayed on Roman and the game. "You had to have cheated," He couldn't help the slight pout that formed on his face.


Dylan blush darkened as she snuggled into him. He hesitated before wrapping his arms around her to keep her close to him. "I love you too, good night," he said to her, even though he could tell she had fallen back asleep.


Eden was walking around carrying the bags, she had grown used to to the walk from town to the cottage when carrying groceries, it often no longer bothered her, even when it was a lot to carry, though often times she would ask someone to come with. Aries was nestled on her shoulder, having received his walnut and given over the key. As she had gotten to the cottage her eyes widened slightly before casting to the ground, seeing Jude and Amity boarding his bike. She swallowed back the lump in her throat as she pressed on to head inside pausing only to look to Aaron who was still seated outside. "Could you help me put everything away," she asked. Aries sensing her distress rubbed his head against her cheek.

Aaron had been watching the two board the bike. He was confused, Jude never let anyone ride it nor even touch it. He still remembered a few years back when Dylan had accidentally gotten a scratch on it when in a fight with Zoie. A shudder ran down his spine recalling just how p-ssed Jude had been. He glanced hearing his sister's voice and nodded, following her inside.

Otto pouted more as Roman's laughing. "Don't laugh," He whined, giving a playful push, not to actually knock Roman off, but enough to at least give a slight rock to his body. A light blush on his face, because he couldn't help but find Roman cute when he laughed. He looked away only briefly at Eden's words. "Have fun," He called before once more his attention was back on the cheater.

EDEN

Eden had finished putting the groceries away with Aaron's help and had taken to upstairs. She had run into Bran while shopping and he had asked for a tour of the town. She had agreed though, it was only a small town, she liked spending time with Bran, so it was just a plus to get to go and hang out with the man. She exited her room after finishing the last of her braid.

The dress she was wearing was one that had been a gift for her birthday, she had only worn it twice so far, once for one of Zoie's plays and the other had been for the end of the season banquet for the summer carnival she had worked at. She had grabbed a simply black jacket to throw over the dress just due to the fall weather. She was walking down the stairs when Jude had been walking in, but the girl hadn't bothered to acknowledge him verbally only giving a small wave of her hand. "Im heading out, I'll be home by dinner," she said, mostly to no one and left the cottage and headed back towards town, pulling out her phone and calling Bran. "Yea, im on my way, meet me outside the store alright?"

love that about Jude)

Otto frowned at him, disappointed the other boy had to leave. "Alright, have fun, dont butn anything," He said. He watched Roman leave before flopping to his side to pout once more, now over the fact that Roman had left. Otto picked up his phone and returned to the game determined to be able to beat the level so he could proudly show to Roman next time he saw him.

EDEN

Eden meet up with Bran outside the store like they had agreed upon, and began showing him around the small town. Showing him where the bookstore was, to different places to eat, what houses were owned by people to not mess with to just basic places the town often held events. In between the two would have small conversations before Eden would see something and point it out to the man next to her. She gave some thought before grabbing his hand. Leading him off she brought the man towards the forest heading in a different direction of the cottage and soon they were at the group's special place. "No one in town onows this exists, so its just like my familys own little safe haven," she said. "Its a really good place to come for anything really. We dont normally bring people outside of us here...but you seem trustworthy to know about it." Bran gave her a soft smile, gently squeezing her hand. "You can trust me with it, I won't tell a soul," He said. The two settled on the bank and resumed talking.

Eden felt her phone buzzing in her pocket, pulling it out to see it was Otto calling her. She saw the time and she sprang up. "Sorry, i have to go," she gave a quick explanation how to get back to the town before taking off, not hearing Bran calling out a thank you. Once she was a good distance away she shifted and flew the rest of the way, once outside the cottage she turned back. Quickly walking into the home. Otto standing with his arms crossed, a grip also on Aaron's scarf, to keep the other boy from getting away. "I'm sorry, time got away, took longer then I thought," she said brushing past her brothers. "Has everyone eaten already?" It wasn't too late so she could still whip something up if need be.
