(I'm open to making friends. Exila hasn't been here long, but it might not take her long to make friends.)

The alarm blares into my ears as my eyes shoot open. I sit up quickly, feeling a tugging sensation in my chest as I reached over my bed and turned off the alarm. The sun just barely peaked through the clouds to reach the window, but I still noticed it's shy face sneaking a glance in my direction. I wondered if anyone else was awake at this time, as it might be pretty early for everyone else. I hang my feet off the bed before plopping onto the ground, my soft soles barely making a sound on the aged wooden floor. Time to start another day at this intriguing place.

im baaaack//

Fox was awake, as he usually was at this hour. He woke up earlier than a lot of the other kids because he had trouble sleeping. He would lie in bed awake for hours on end most nights staring at the ceiling, and sneaking food from the kitchen was infinitely better than being bored and trying in vain to fall asleep. He was currently in the kitchen, nibbling on a roll that he had found, and sitting on the counter. Luckily, he figured he was the sole person awake in the Home.

Asher wakes up with a snap, rubbing his eyes. He jumps up and softly hums as he gets ready, sliding his knife into his boot and some other knives in various hidden pockets. "Ready for the day!" He whispers and opens the door, skipping towards the main hall.

are there animals like dogs or cats at the Home?//

I hope so, that would be a better explanation on why Asher has blood all over him.//

Name: Marlene Angel
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Background: Parents ignored her because a child was too much of a burden apparently.
Looks: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/bd/84/ff/bd84fff367e05a9b54f85d86fcd7fdda.jpg
Personality: Gets emotional easily, but when she's not crying, she's a determined ball of giggles.
Other: Has an albino mouse named James.

Fox continued to eat the roll slowly, savoring the taste. When the others were around, he ate little. He still ate enough to satisfy him, but that was it. His bare feet dangled over the counter. He could hear noises but hoped that it wasn't a human, especially not an adult. He glanced around warily.

There can be animals there//

ok cool//

I tiptoed into the kitchen, peaking to see someone on the kitchen counter eating a roll. After concluding that the kid didn't seem too threatening to me, I made my presence known by walking into the kitchen.
"Do you know if we have cereal?"
I ask the kid, realizing I forgot to introduce myself.

Fox blinked, looking like a startled animal. He shrugged quietly, then went back to eating his roll.

Asher skipped down the hall to the kitchen after murdering a squirrel for the fun of it. "My friends not dead, just resting in a bloody bed." He sings softly and opens the door to the kitchen, getting some blood on the handle.

Marlene rolled over on her bed, wiping away faint tears from last night's nightmare. She decided she was hungry. If I sneak, they won't notice me… She thought, heading towards the kitchen.

Fox's eyes widened as he saw Asher, and he almost imperceptibly scooted away, afraid of the younger boy. Fox's pale face looked fraught with worry as he glanced between the two newcomers, startled out of his peace.

Belle walked into the kitchen and leaned against the door of the room, not saying anything to anyone just watching. She was a bit hungry but she likes to watch the other people first.

"Hello!" The small boy said cheerfully, his hand almost fully covered in blood.

Mar didn't notice the bloody door handle until she opened it and jumped at the sight of the other, younger children. She blinked slowly at Asher's bloody form.

I looked over at the kid frolicking in his own mess as he gets blood on everything he touches.
"I hope you'll clean that doorknob."
I mutter, opening one cabinet after the other, searching for something to eat for breakfast. I couldn't find any cereal, but there was an egg in the fridge, which I decided to scramble for a small breakfast.

"Um…hello." Mar responded, her voice wavering. "You are?"

Fox looked extremely uncomfortable as he slowly nibbled away at the roll. He looked as if he was folding in on himself quietly, not trying to draw any attention towards himself.

"Im Asher! Dont mind the mess!" He says, bending down to push away a small tile revealing a small stash of candy.

Fox stared at Asher with wide eyes, not even bothering to pretend like he wasn't. This place and these kids confused and scared him, but Fox was still going to hold on. He finished off the roll, chewing slowly. He wrapped his arms around his knees.

After finishing scrambling the egg, I sit down at the table and quietly eat it. Turning back to look at the kid on the counter, I notice he seemed bothered.
"You alright?" I ask him with a gentle voice, relaxing my face to communicate friendliness rather than tension.

Fox looked at the girl, his look of anxiety fading a bit into more of a timid expression. He nodded slowly, pulling his arms tighter around himself. He was not, in fact, all right, and hadn't been in a while.
