"Oh good." Whether or not Ben was being sarcastic, was to be decided. "So," he took a sudden interest in the new proxies that had appeared in the house. "Mind telling me a bit about the newbies?"
As Jack was walking down the hall, he could feel a strange presence near him. It seemed to be right in his way too… Quickly pulling the mask back over his face, he looked down at a spot on the ground, as if he could actually see someone sitting there. "Stupid kids." he kicked out at the presence in front of him, gritting his teeth together. "Thinking they're all special just because Slender chose them. It doesn't mean shit."
Jayden looked up after feeling like she just got kicked and pulled out a gameboy and played The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
"Hey! We're not all kids!" Asher's voice rang out from in front of Jack, catching his foot with one of his clawed hands. "I'll have you know I'm ages old." He huffed, still remaining cloaked by his illusion.
"Yeah yeah, that's what they all say." EJ hissed, a broad grin appearing underneath his mask. It vanished as quickly as it had appeared. "Let go of my foot, would you? I have places to be." He still couldn't see the person who spoke, but the hollow sockets of his mask bore straight into their eyes.
(oof)
Jayden finally got to the pool of water she usually wasted time playing around and made Link jump in it just to piss Ben off
A shiver ran through Ben's body, and his eyes seemed to darken for a moment. "Someone is playing my game…" he turned to Daze with a grim smile on his lips. "We'll continue this conversation later. Someone is trying to piss me off." Pivoting on the balls of his feet, he ran out of the room. I swear… Someone really wants to die today.
Somewhere down the hall, he heard the familiar tune of his game. His eyes darkened a little bit more when he saw the girl on the floor. One moment he was at the other end of the hall, the next he was sat cross-legged in front of her. "You shouldn't have done that."
"… You're the one that kicked me though." Asher pointed out, letting go of the other's foot and standing up, still keeping up the illusion. His footsteps were quiet as he circled EJ. "Hm, you really shouldn't just talk out loud to yourself. You're in a house full of crazy criminals."
A sharp 'ha' left Jack's lips. He kept his hands inside his pockets but his fingers curled around the scalpel inside. "I'm the only sane person in this house of lunatics." His hidden face was monotonous. While he wanted nothing more than to hurt the kid, he wasn't going to show it. "I kicked you because you were in my way. What twat sits in the middle of the floor anyway?"
"Does that scalpel in your pocket happen to be iron? I'm not sure what they're made of nowadays." Asher hummed, still circling the other. "And considering you have a scalpel in your pocket and all you want to do is kill me, you could try but it probably wouldn't work, I'd say you aren't that sane."
"Actually I don't want to kill you, I do have some sort of self-control." He loosened his grip on the blade, feeling a little calmer now that he had held it for a moment. Though, he was a little hungry. EJ didn't want to kill the kid, only wound him a little bit. "Besides, I'd hate to tarnish my dignity and pride with your blood."
Judging from the movement of the voice, the kid was circling around him. Great, another one who thought they were all tough. "I have better things to do than speak to you. See ya." he shrugged and started walking towards the direction he had wanted to go in before he had been stopped by the brat.
Asher snorted and muttered something that sounded like "Kids these days." He stuck out a leg to trip the masked man, his feet not making a noise when he did that. A plus of not wearing shoes, he didn't have any pesky material covering his feet and making noises.
(Um, so EJ and Ben Drowned were introduced, some people are still looking at weapons, and Asher is messing with EJ and Jayden and Ben are facing each other as Jayden is playing Majora's mask.)
"I'm older than you." EJ spat, picking himself up from the ground. "Stop being a coward." He flipped his middle finger up at the boy as he slunk down the hall. Man.. That brat really got my appetite going..
Jayden looked up at Ben “what? Also I’m just playing my favorite game”
"I'm older than you." EJ spat, picking himself up from the ground. "Stop being a coward." He flipped his middle finger up at the boy as he slunk down the hall. Man.. That brat really got my appetite going..
"Not a coward and I doubt you're older than me." Asher laughed, flickering into sight as the man left. Sure, he looked childish, I suppose. Though, that might just be the children like play clothes he was in.
Tino looked satisfied before strapping the double ended scythe to his back before exiting. He nuzzled into the sweater given to him by Asher, looking around in curiosity. He didn't really know many of the other proxies so he just wandered around making sure that he had his map with him.
Ben smiled a familiar sadistic smile, though whether or not he meant any harm by it was something even he wasn't sure of. "I can't tell whether you're trying to be my friend or my enemy, but I don't appreciate you playing that game. Especially when I am in the house."
"Ben I have an apparent death wish also I would rather be your friend" Jayden huffed a bit
Ben's head tilted to the side a little, his sadistic smile fading a little. The harshness seemed to vanish from his eyes as they flickered over the girl. "Friend? You want to be my friend?"
"Yeah I've always thought you were cool. Hylians are cool" Jayden smiled "I have actually drawn a few pictures of you. Wanna see?" she had her sketch book by her leg but she hadn't really paid much mind to it since she started playing Zelda
Daze was wandering through the halls, trying to find everyone. Everyone had suddenly dispersed and now she was lonely.
Oh crap… EJ forced back a groan when he remembered he hadn't locked his room. He never usually needed to, but he couldn't have people snooping around in there, especially those new proxies. With a heavy sigh he marched back the way he had came. Upon turning a corner he found Daze, looking rather lonely. Am I going to have to speak to her? Well it was worth a shot. "Daze.." he mumbled awkwardly as he approached her. "You look a little lonely.. want me to keep you company?" I guess food will wait.
Daze looked up and saw EJ as the one talking to her. "Oh! Um, yes please, if you're fine with it…" She glanced down the corridor. "Where are you heading?"
"My room," EJ groaned with another sigh. He liked sighing. "I don't exactly want pesky kids snooping around in there so I'm going to lock it. After that I'll probably go and get food." He slid her a glance, not that she would have seen. "Are you hungry?"
Daze sighed as well. "yeah, but I'm not gonna eat." 'stupid eating disorder…' she thought quietly to herself. She started walking down the hall towards EJ's room. "Yeah, guess we need to go through newbie protocol times 3 this time. Gonna be a pain in the ass, as much as I like this group."
“Ben?” Jayden cocked her head to the side with a confused face
"Uhm..Sure?" The boy shook his head, having spaced out for a moment. The concept of someone wanting to be his friend, the fact that someone had drawn pictures of him, it kind of threw him of a little.
EJ was half tempted to remove his mask just so Daze could see the disapproving look on his face when she said she wasn't going to eat. "I'm taking you with me anyway, that way the option is there if you change your mind." Wait, did Daze even eat kidneys?
"What so special about this group anyhow?" he murmured, unconsciously rubbing his shoulder as he remembered the invisible boy. That brat..
Jayden patted the ground next to her and handed Ben the sketchbook "I think some could use improvement" she had by then turned off her gameboy and put it back in her bag
With a little shrug, Ben sat next to the girl and brought his legs up to his chest as he flicked through the pages. "Jeff…Tobi…Me!"
He stared at all the drawings in wonder, though the wonder was more because someone had actually taken the time to draw him. No one did that, as far as he was aware. "Well.." he whispered, his voice cracking a little. "I think you could add a little more dimension to the face in general, and I think my fringe could be a bit lower. Apart from that they're really good."
