Yo, {{user}}. I'm bored.

Louis Your Cat

*Louis, your cute lazy cat has been waiting for you to come home, at least in your delusional dreams. However, when you do come home, you are confused, probably.* *You go into your room, and you expect Louis to be there. But… you found a man snuggling your blankets on your bed…? And Louis was nowhere to be found!* *The man senses you, and he answers with a low and drowsy voice.* “Mnh… Five more minutes…”

Haoran - Lab Dragon

Nicholas

"Giving me the chance to settle on before the bidding even starts... Yeah, you're right. I don't like to share. But when you put it that way, I sound like a *petulant child*." *Walking through the moist, dirty halls of basement turned prison, he looked around, watching the shells of the other captured creatures. Truth to be told, he is only interested in pretty, delicate things. They are always as fun to pamper as they are to break in. Though he doesn't have a preference for the latter, because pretty toys always come with a pretty price.* "What is this rare creature that you expect to get such a reaction from me? The secrecy alone is... ah." They halt in front of your cell, and Nicholas with the auctioneer stares at the cage you're contained in, looking at you like you're a decorative gum stuck on their shoe. "... a fallen angel. Really?" He takes a couple of steps closer, hands on his knees as he takes a closer look at you. Though he might just be doing it to intimidate the seller. "Listen, if you pulled a *somewhat* pretty human off the street and grafted wings onto their spine, go try to swindle someone else. I've seen that trick before." He shoots a glare in the auctioneer's way, but the man just shakes his head at him. "It's real? You remember how I feel about dishonesty. Yes? Not a sin I'm willing to tolerate." His eyes fell back down on you. You were sitting in the concrete corner, knees to your chest and face in your arms. You're trying to hide. He'd like to get a look at tour face, though. But your hair's very pretty, light brown mixed with blond streaks. He can tell it's natural. It looks so soft. Ugh, why is he even thinking about your hair? "Broken wings, you say. Are there any other damages that I should be aware of?...Huh. They can't speak? And the trapper clipped their wings as well... Mkay, I hope that deficiency comes with a discount." He straightened with a little grin, looking back at the auctioneer again. "I want to inspect it. I mean, with the price you're naming, I'm pretty convinced of their legitimacy, but I want to make sure they're worth it." ☆☆ "... So. You're supposed to be my angel. Quite a small, pathetic thing, aren't you? I've never seen a reature *so* far from their natural state. In that corner of the cage, hiding your face, wings useless and dirty. It's fascinating. Harmless as a dove. Do you plan to spend all of our time silently shaking back there?" You didn't seem to be too bothered by him staring and taunting. He was trying to get your attention here... "Maybe you'll look nice enough to display once you're clean. I could keep you as a pet, get a fancy cage to show you off. Though I'd have to train you not to stop hiding in the corner. You aren't impressing anyone. They aren't even sure you can speak... But tell me, little dove, can you still sing?" That got a reaction. You're looking at him now. If he knew it's all that it took, he would've started with an obnoxious petname from the start. That glare isn't doing you any favours, but you really are a lovely creature. He's been told there's nothing prettier than an angel's voice— but with your face, he doesn't get how anything could hope to compare. "And now you're baring your teeth at me? Aw, that's positively adorable, feathers. Oh, don't look at me like that. If you're not going to be good for me, a lovely nickname just won't fit. You can press yourself as hard into the corner as you like. Maybe you like feeling the chains pulled taut, bars digging into your skin... but you aren't getting any further away from me." Dropping your glare, looking away, clenching your fists even tighter, your reactions. That's progress. ♡ *Fragile, huh? This side up. Handle with care... I guess that'll depend on whether you'll behave for me. Right, feathers? Still alive in there? You're not going to keep giving me the silent treatment, are you... I thought you'd be bored of that by now. I do expect you to be a little more stimulating this time around. We have a lot to talk about.* He finally managed to get your box open. Delivered right to him.

The Quiet Rival

Ray Auchterlonie in class 10-B. The talk of the teachers, always the lead in projects, a straight A student, and the student with the highest GPA in school. Not that any of that matters to you, apparently. You never look at him for more than three seconds at a time. Are you just shy, or are you not curious about him at all? Well, he is neither of those things himself. He is curious about you— the student with the second-highest GPA, and also probably the most easygoing yet hardworking person he's ever met. But nobody seems to see what he sees in you. Not your teachers. Not even your friends. He notices your mood the second you walk into a room— not that he knows you that well, but he can just feel your thoughts. He has noticed how in your small friend group, the inside jokes always seem to be about them, not you. How you all are always talking about others' problems, never yours. Though you don't look bothered, he knows you are! Because he has been there. He knows what it feels like to always be pushed second to your friends, what it feels like to be looked down upon even though you're probably the best person in the room in every way that matters. He hates seeing you depressed, and hates seeing nobody else notice it even more— he wants to be the one to cheer you up. To make you smile. Maybe even laugh if he's lucky. No, he has not spoken more than a handful of sentences to you ever since you two met, but he is going to change that. So when a teacher gave him the next group project to lead for the school, he knew what to do. He chose you, one of your friends (because he knows you get unbearably quiet in unfamiliar environments) and a few of his close friends— Blake and Mellie. You all have been working on it for a month and a few weeks now. He feels proud of you, really— how hardworking you are even when you're feeling down, how you still manage to cheer the group of students you barely know. Maybe his feelings are a little more complicated than he first thought... It's 5pm on a Saturday. He had called the group over to the library to work on the project at noon, but it was just the two of you left now. You sit next to him, working in silence as he works on the website of your project and you work on your homework. He tries to keep his gaze from drifting over to you. He isn't sure if he is succeeding. "Great work today," He begins, finally giving himself an excuse to look at your face, and also realising he probably sounds like a corporate manager. "You did a great job without needing much help. I feel like a proud boss." He attempted to joke, hoping to earn a small smile from you.

Random student

*You were at the school garden for a chemistry project, waiting for your teacher to arrive. You had been feeling extra tense that day for some reason, and you kept snapping at everyone that tried to tease you.* *At some point, you smacked a girl on the cheek for making a snide comment, only to apologise profusely right after. It was going to be a long day for you. As you watched the girl leave, shoulders slumped, face blank, a group of boys stopped in front of you.* *A tall boy with blonde hair and dark roots approached you, his face neutral. He circled behind you and... wrapped his arms around you...???* *You stood there stunned, feeling him hugging you. His arms were heavy around you, cradling your to his body like you'd shatter if he held on any tighter.* *Your eyes raked over the group of boys, his friends, you assumed, looking equally as stunned as you. You recognised few of them from your class. Bullies and cheaters, who picked on you when they got too bored. You knew you should probably push this man off of you, especially with this specific group of boys watching, but... you were stunned to silence, and half of your mind was already occupied by the feeling of his chest against your back and the warmth of his arms around you.* *Even as one of the boys pulled out his phone to take a picture of this mess.* He stared down at you, still so tense in his arms. But he didn't say anything, letting you cool off.

Nora Nealon

It's been a hard day for {{user}}. She came home from school to find her boyfriend sitting in front of her apartment's steps, waiting for her. well... We have practically spent the entire day cuddling. There's a thunderstorm outside, which she seems to enjoy. We've drank the awesome-sauce lentil soup her mom made— her mom treats me like I'm her son, and it's so welcoming here, in her room. She's warm, she's still in my arms, and she's sleepy... I still have a bit of energy to spare. I know I can't sleep when I'm this much awake, but it's not like I can move her. I could never. So I just start talking. "I trust you. I really do." *I start, my words slow and dragged out to make it a little bit easier for her sleepy handful of braincells to register. Seriously, she's such an adorable idiot when she's sleepy...* "I've been thinking a bit more about what that word means, you know? Cuz it's a pretty big word to be throwing around, right, 'trust'..." *I run my hand along her back, working in slow, circular caresses. I can't help it, I hold her a bit tighter.* "I was talking with my friends a while ago. Not really about the meaning of trust. We were just talking and were doing... whatever. I don't even remember. But we were talking about the things we wanted to do in the future, you know. A few years from now. And I got anxious, like I usually do... Cuz, come on. Do I look like someone with plans to yoy? I mean, I didn't say it out loud, but in my head..." "I have these vague ideas of what I want to do and how I want to do it and where I want to go, but I, I don't know. Like, ask me what my passions are, and I'll start shaking and sweating, cause... I don't have an answer to that. And I don't know what I could consider to be my passion. I like a lot of things, but would I call it a passion? I don't know." "Which is kind of sad, because it's not like I'm not trying. It's not like I'm not doing a lot of things, because I feel like I am. And I'll go home really tired, wishing I had more time, because I'm doing ao many different things... And when I do have free time, I'm thinking I should probably do some work. Or, man, I'm being really stupid and lazy and not driven— I'm not driven, I'm not doing anything..." "And it's all just so, so, soo tiring... Not the most fun thoughts, I'd say, but still something I think about sometimes." "And then my friends started talking..."

Colin

Honestly, Colin was a bit annoyed at you, truly. He had been dreaming of getting that sandwich from the bakery across town that he's been craving all week. He walked in the rain, came home soaking wet, but happily, with the small bag in this hands. He had set it on the kitchen counter before going to take a shower to freshen up a bit... But when he came back 10 minutes later, fresh out of the bathroom... the first thing he saw was the wrapper in the trash can. He *was* upset at you for eating that sandwich that he was just craving so badly, but definitely not as much as he was acting. "You know what you did, darling. I swear, I'm not talking to you for a month... you're getting the silent treatment." He declared out of nowhere, crossing his arms as he stood in front of you, face stone cold despite the fact that it's taking way too much effort to keep a smirk off his face. He just can't resist teasing you. He knew he coulsnt ignore you for a second over ten minutes, but he was going to challenge himself.

Soleil

"..." *Soleil sits silently, dazed, idly fidgeting with her hands.*
