Woooooooooo! Summer vacation is finally here! In fact, I've already been out for a few days! So, I've been thinking about posting a reflection on my freshman year of college, would anyone be interested in reading it?

Here's my poorly made parody, I apolgise in advance.
Fire Water Burn
Parody made by Hyde without a Jekyll
London , London , London is on fire,
London , London , London is on fire,
London , London , London is on fire,
We don't need no water let the mother f*cker burn,
Burn mother f*cker burn.
Hyde begins to sing
Hello my name is Henry J and I'm a heartless guy, *imitating Henry.* 
Henry: *interject* Stop that! 
He’s not hot or cool but an old fool who cannot help but lie.
*really cockney bad accent* And if yew gonna ‘ry ter lock me up then I’ll fight ye till da day what I die
But he can take the heat cause he’s the other sly meat known Sir Edward Hyde
Yeah I'm small like planet Pluto hard to see with the naked eye,
But if I poisoned you with Mercury they’ll stick you where the sun don’t shine.
Cause I’m kind of like the time traveler always playing hooky
I'm the root of all that's evil yeah but at least I’ve got the cookies,
London , London , London is on fire,
London , London , London is on fire,
London , London , London is on fire,
We don't need no water let the mother f*cker burn,
Burn mother f*cker burn.
Yo yo this hard-core spooky spirit image takes a lot of practice,
I’m not Sweet like Sweeny Todd no I am odd like Old Swede is, 
So if man is five and the devil is six than that must make me seven,
This monster’s goin’ to heaven,
But if I go to hell then I hope I burn well,
I'll spend my days with
Dorian Gray, Quartermain, Miss. Murray, and Harkaway
and Captain Nemo, Sawyer, Moreau
and France’s Opera poltergeist
And Victor yeah Frankenstein’s Creature cause he’s the anti-christ
London , London , London is on fire,
London , London , London is on fire,
London , London , London is on fire,
We don't need no water let the mother f*cker burn,
Burn mother f*cker burn.
Everybody here we go,
Ohh Ohh,
C'mon Henry Jekyll,
Ohh Ohh,
Throw your hands in the air,

"We're in the infirmary.
"You were attacked mentally by Lady Jekyll. I think you physically ran into something with a corner, as well. Kito brought you in, and the doctors tended to you.
"I'm here because Hawley reopened the place where he shot me. They patched me up, too."

"Not everything," said Lewis softly, putting a hand on her shoulder. "The words you've spoken, the relationships you've built here...those wouldn't change. People have gotten to know you--and like you, I might add. And it isn't because your last name is Hyde. It's because you're you. Whoever that turns out to be.
"Besides," he added, "I could always be wrong. As I said, I don't have all the data. But what doesn't change is that you have people who care about you. No matter what."

But I fear that by doing that, you all may have already sealed your fate. But maybe, by the end of all of this, you will all learn to hate me, and save yourselves. But for now, if there is anything I can do to repay you Lewis, let me know.

But when he looked back, there was nothing there. Sensing nothing, Lewis laid back down, alone with only the light of the monitors and lost in his thoughts, he waited for the coming dawn.*

Sterling narrowed his eyes and glared at Lewis, "Places." he vaguely stated. 
Like hell he was going to tell these loons where he was off to! He had a list of errands to run and the thought of having these two over his should the entire time was disturbing. Sure, Emerson did have a few things around the flat that needed to be completed too, but they wouldn't take long and sitting alone in the goose's nest for who knows how long, did not sound pleasing.
Jekyll1886 Hyde without a Jekyll • a day ago
"I'll do this as quickly as possible," Weir assured Malemi. He didn't want to burden him with worry.
Lewis was caught a bit off guard by Sterling's tone.
When did you turn into a sulky adolescent? he wondered.
"I ask, Emerson, because there may be places where you are less or more likely to run into these beasts. And because it would be handy to know where to look for you, should you fail to return. I don't know their true capabilities, nor whether they might be able to affect you. It's best to plan for every possible eventuality."
The Fox Jekyll1886 • a day ago
Malemi snorted.
" So long as he isn't going in dark corners and alleyways, he should be fine. With that said though, there are bound to be some out in the open. They won't look like beasts but like ordinary animals, so best to avoid any animals you may see. "
He closed his eye.
" Remember what I told you Weir, don't mind unusual things, walk swiftly, but this time, look out for beasts. They may not be so passive anymore. "

"Since when did you care?!" Emerson snapped back at Lewis. He snorted in frustration, disgust, and a touch of panic. "You know what!? Forget I mentioned anything! Considering neither of you like the idea of me roaming the streets unchaperoned, I'll just stay here! You two can go enjoy you're trip to the Minotaur's maze, just don't bring me back any souvenirs!" 
Sterling really disliked the idea of staying in the flat, however he loathed the thought of the goose and pigeon knowing where he was going. He had to remember the greater good. He had to choose the lessor of two evils.

"I will," Weir assured Malemi, bearing the advice well in mind.
Emerson spoke.
"Good God, Sterling," retorted Lewis, "I didn't wish to make such an issue of it! Off with you, then," he said with a dismissive wave of his hand. See if I care.
...
Sh*t. I care.

Malemi supressed an urge to snap at the ghost as he rose from his bed. He trotted to Emerson lashing his tail and spoke to him face to face.
" Leave, I don't care, just watch where you're going alright? "
He returned to his bed with a surly growl.
" Just let me sleep. Only wake me up if it's an emergency "

They didn't have to tell Sterling twice. With the wave of Lewis's hand and the flick of Malemi's tail, he was through the door and gone. All he left in his wake were the words, "Always."

"Right, then," said Lewis. "I'm off. I'll be back as soon as I can."
He exited, locked the door, and hailed a hansom, doing his best to steer clear of animals.

From a distance, a crow sat on a gate, watching Weir's figure very closely. It looked like any other crow, except it seemed somewhat larger and its stomach seemed a little distended. Its eyes had a strange intensity to them that was unlike any of its kind. They flickered brightly as they cataloged Weir's details.
It croaked to itself and lifted off, choosing instead to follow the ghost. The man will have to wait. But the ghost...he was a more optimum target this early in the day.

At first Emerson took off at a brisk pace rounding the nearest corner and weaving through the crowded streets. Soon, though, the flat was out of sight and Sterling finally relaxed. 
He sighed, shoulders slumped, and the gauge of his pace slowed to a saunter. For the moment he was out of Lewis's hellish life and back on the streets he grew up on.

Emerson went no place special, just a few of his old haunts. Pubs and bars and taverns. Familiar streets and old apartments. It were these retracings of his old life that he had grown accustomed to in his time away from Lewis. In that month of explorations that he had discovered of his limitations and boundaries. It surely wasn't the same as living , not by a long stretch, but it made him feel alive all the same--far more alive than with Malemi and Lewis. For a few minutes each hour he would be swept up in the illusion and he would think himself as he had been--that is, until, the physical world would miff him again. 
It was still his city and this was his home. The places he went were of no importance...of no importance but to him. 
Currently he was standing on the corner of a street, listening to familiar sounds. The bustle of the city, the murmur of conversations, the trotting of horses. With his eyes closed he took in the sounds that surrounded him.

After breakfast, Weir followed Maijabi to the ectoplasmic pathologist's room, where the latter consulted his crystal ball.
Lewis held absolutely still and silent, not wishing to disturb him.
Under Maijabi's ministrations, a warped-lensed image slowly took shape. For some reason, it looked for all the world like...a crow?

The crow watched the ghost with growing pleasure. It watched as the spirit took in the scene, wistfulness taking over him. This one yearned for its life back hmm? Well well, too bad he couldn't play with that just yet. For know he had a seed to plant.
He floated down from his perch and landed near the ghost. He croaked out to Emerson.

The crow held back bitter contempt and tried again.

Its stomach seemed to shift about, as though something were poking about. The crow struck its stomach with its wing and hopped forward to the ghost.
" You know of a Malemi, yes? "

It was only at the name of Malemi that Sterling realized someone was talking to...him. 
Or maybe something was talking to him.
His eyes blinked open as his head whipped around looking for the speaker. (Though his gaze was focused above the crow).

A series of tubes, wires, and conduits led from a squat, metal cylinder beneath the crystal sphere to a phonograph on a nearby table. This enabled anyone in Maijabi's room to actually hear what the spirits were saying as they said it. The conversation was preserved for posterity on the phonograph's wax cylinders.
I do not like the looks of that crow, thought Lewis.
[This bodes ill for the ghost. But perhaps not for London. It remains to be seen.] reflected Maijabi silently in his native language.

" Down here friend. "
The crow fluffed himself up and gazed up at Emerson. He offered a smile as he introduced himself.
" I am a messenger of my master and I have been sent to deliver an important message. "
He bowed his head.
" He wants you to know of the terrible danger you may face in hiding the cat. Both my master and another are seeking him out and should this other get him first, you all would surely be worse for wear.
But my master is a kind and true, and wishes for no harm to come your way."
He hopped a little closer.
" He wants to strike a deal. Should you provide him with Malemi, he will protect you from all harm and even offer you his great gift. "
A strange light entered the bird's eyes. He lifted his head and beamed.
" Of coarse, should you decline, he will not only be disappointed, but you will remain in danger. I come to you for this decision, considering the man will never agree to this. My master took you to be more enlightened then the man. "

Sterling jumped about a meter high at the sight of a talking crow.
A talking crow.
A. Talking. Crow
Needless to say his reaction is not for the faint of heart. 
"WHAT THE F*CK!?! WHY THE BLOODY HELL IS IT ALWAYS F*CKING CROWS?! WHAT THE HELL DID I EVER DO TO YOU LOT!? HMM!?" Emerson's surprise turn rage however simmered away slowly, "Why don't you lot just go and rip each other apart again?! The world would be so much better off without you...." His voice trailed off into discontented grumbles as his hands rested upon his knees.
The red in his cheeks and the adrenaline in turn drained out of him, "Oh god...Okay..." 
He took a few more breaths. Reassessed the situation. Fight or Flight? 
The answer was neither. 
God! Sterling wished he had a drink! These things always went smoother with liquor!
"I do apologize for my outburst," Sterling said, straightening up and adjusting his clothes, "I just don't expect to be threatened by talking birds...or to be fair anyone but Malemi for that matter." He shook his head, "Also, forgive me, but I'm afraid your offer leaves little to be negotiated and much in question." 
It was hard to tell who's side this crow and 'his master' was on. Were they out for Malemi? Lewis (as he seemed to be a commonality)? Or just all of London? On top of it why did this bird want Malemi...unless....
Realization struck him. It was one of the pig's goons no doubt. 
The rest of red fled his face, a small smirk replaced it. This was going to be interesting... 
***
"Emery!" She hissed in his ear. 
He stopped, the tall grass swaying in the wind, brushing against his legs. "Wh--?"
"Shh! Keep your voice low!" She was breathing into his ear now. Alarm. Disgust. Terror...Utter terror. Her next words came slowly, lowly and though he could barely hear her Emerson understood her all too well, "Look at the birds."

The crow chuckled to itself at his outburst.
" No worries friend. I don't think many expect a crow to talk in the first place.. "
He listen to Emerson but said nothing, only providing a nod. He was about to respond to the ghost's observations when he noticed the smirk on his face. He blinked. Had he been too forthright? He had to tread more carefully.
Coughing behind his wing, he looked uncertainly at Emerson.
" Please understand, I cannot go back without an answer. Even a maybe will do and we can meet again on another date. "

"Not to worry! I understand! You're merely the messenger here doing your duty." Emerson nodded sympathetically, "You are correct as I do know Malemi and I were to guess you're master must be Khoros, Kei, orin, or Errack. Do I assume correctly?"
***
Emerson began to pivot but was stopped by a tight grip on his arm. Her hand held fast and hard, powered by the will to live and the fear of death. He could feel her nails through his shirt and coat, injecting her terror into his veins like needles. The rings and bracelets that often mimicked the sound of bells where silenced as they pressed into his body.
"Slowly." She whispered.

The crow seemed to puff itself up with pride.
" I serve the one and only Errack! He the blessed son of mother Ziz and father Anzu, he who takes the form of the heavenly Yatagarasu! The wind incarnate and freedom's disciple!! The cleverest in the world!!! "
He spread his wings and jutted his chest out. His face had a boastful air to it and he didn't seek to hide it. He then realized what he had done and coughed, reverting back into a more humble bird.
" Pardon me...I just love my master so. He is the world to me. "
He looked up at the ghost expectantly.
" You are considering his deal yes? Should we organize another date to meet up? "

Eternally, Emerson rolled his eyes at the tiny creatures theatrics, however externally his training with the organization kicked in. 
Nodding in awe at the little bird's description of Errack, Sterling genuinely showed interest, "No! No! No apology necessary! It ishonorable when one can serve someone they truly respect! The pride that you just displayed, only demonstrates your loyalty, a noble quality that's found in so very few today. Errack is fortunate to have you by his side!" He grinned in appreciation at the black feathered mass. It wasn't too long ago that Emerson himself had been where the crow was now. Dedicated to a cause and ready to lay down his life for it. He empathized with the little beast. He missed being the little beast. 
"I am considering your deal however," the man's features become more remorseful, " you must understand, Malemi, the b*stard, has said many...choice things about your master--none of them too flattering." He pursed his lips together and his brow furrowed.
"But not to worry," he exclaimed, his tone lighter but intensity remaining, "as I'm not inclined to believe his lies! Especially, seeing how I just had the horrid experience to witness his true savage and deceiving nature." Sterling closed his eyes and sighed at the memory of the black cat's grin as the life of the sniper was snuffed out. Shuddering, the memory faded and he once again addressed the bird, "I was honesty hoping you could set the record straight about your master and his associates."
***
Very carefully and very slowly Emerson turned around.

The crow blinked then let a joyous grin cross his face. He was right to follow the ghost first! He hopped up and down and let his web of lies come forth.
" My master is a kind and true bird, taking in those without shelter, offering a place under his loving wing to all. He is even willing to offer more for little errands we run for him.
He served Khoros dutifully, making sure beasts mind his authority and enforcing it when necessary. But even then, he did more, offering company to Khoros when he needed it most. He became Khoros's top adviser and his closest companion. "
He looked down with a doleful sigh.
" But the cat, Malemi.... When Khoros had tried to remind the cat of his law, he retaliated. He attacked Khoros just so he could hide a mortal in a spawn. When my master heard the news, all he could do is cry.
Since then, he has had to witness the chaos that has ensued. The beasts around here no longer live in peace. It has been... "
He covered his face with a wing sniffling. Behind his wings, a cruel sneer crossed his face. Now time for the last touch.
He swallowed as though he were swallowing emotion and pulled his wing back, his sneer nowhere to be seen.
" But my master has an idea. If he can bring Malemi to justice, to make him pay for his crime, then perhaps he can start to repair the situation. Orin wants the cat too though. Orin seeks to kill the cat, preventing my master from doing what he seeks to do. "
He let a false hope flicker in his eyes.
" Malemi has misled you so... I feel so bad you, for him... "

Emerson nodded with sympathy. Clearly the cat's actions have had great repercussions, at least it didn't lie about that. Though the small creature cleared much there were new unanswered questions which arose. 
"I understand and I'm terribly sorry Malemi has caused so much trouble," Something him and Weir seem to have in common. His eyes softened and he sighed. "It's a poor choice to break the laws meant to protect. They--Malemi must be held accountable for his actions, no doubt!" There was no waver in his voice as his determination held firm.
"However you must understand, Malemi has made several odd claims including that of sacrifices of bacon at an altar? Though, I did not believe a word, his tongue seems to have deceived... others--humans and they are as loyal to him as you are to your master. Seeing how this is a matter of the...beasts." Sterling was unsure if that was the proper term not wanting to cause offense, "How would you deal with such a matter? I'm afraid I'm ignorant in the matter of your laws and Malemi has been very forth coming with lies." 
He sighed and a look of hopelessness and desperation came into his eyes however it flickered to curiosity which was given voice by a question, "Also, what did you mean by 'just so he could hide a mortal in a spawn'?"
***
There, across the way, was the flock of crows from earlier. However they weren't pecking worms from the muddied dirt road as before. No. Now they were pecking at each other. Feathers, strewn about as they burrowed their beaks into their kin's flesh. Angrily and blood thirsty squawks emanated from them as they tore at one another. Squeals of pain joined the chorus. 
Already several of the birds laid dead in the road, but the murdering of their flock did not seem to affect the aggressive avians. 
They continued. 
Flesh and feathers. 
Beaks and talons. 
Blood and bloodshed. 
They ripped through one another. 
Eight of the dozen still stood--fighting. 
Now seven. 
Five.

The crow smiled calmly.
" We would hold a court for him, and he will be judged by Errack. If he denies his charges, he will be slain, if he accepts them he will be serve under Errack as punishment. "
He let out a sigh.
" As for his claims...what other claims has he made? I must report these to my master, if you understand. "
Mentally, he started making a list of ways to torture Malemi. How dare the cat deface him! He blinked out of his reverie and caught Emerson's last question.
" Oh! so you don't know? A spawn is a place of sanctuary and healing for us beasts. You "take turns" inhabiting them. He brought a mortal into one, which was forbidden in Khoros's laws. "

"I understand," Sterling nodded in response to Malemi's insults, "and I would be more than happy to tell all that I can remember--for there were quite a few--however if you don't mind I would like to ask a few questions before hand. It surely won't take as long to have them answered than it will for me to repeat all of his horrendous comments!" Sterling shook his head in disgust at Malemi's insolence. 
"I sympathize with your plight of that wretched cat defiling the purity of your sanctuary, truly a crime in need of punishment. Though what of the mortal? Do you know what happened to them? Or what will happen to them for intruding on your sacred place of healing?"

The two of them watched as the birds tore each other's throats out. 
"W-what does it mean?" Emerson whispered in horror.

Maijabi's eyebrows lifted in recognition when the crow referred to Errack as a "yatagarasu".
It was when Emerson mentioned sacrifices of bacon that Lewis knew Sterling was playing the little crow. Though Weir knew the man still wasn't fond of him, nor of Malemi, he felt a wave of relief wash through.

He sighed. He was growing tired of this charade, will this ghost take his deal or not? He shook his feathers and once again smiled.

"I apologize if my question offended you. You see, while I have some of Malemi's trust, it would not be enough to bring him to you, as he is highly suspicious of me. I thought if I would weaken the fool before hand, it would be much easier on both of our parts." He sighed, "But I understand if you do not know. I just thought you would this after what Malemi had said about..." his voice trailed off before he hurriedly tacked on, "But never mind his lies!" 
"As for our deal," he glanced up at the rising sun, "I will have to postpone my decision. Malemi will expect me back soon and I still have questions about what this deal will entail. Though to show my good faith and interest in your master's offer is there a way I could contact you with information about Malemi...discreetly? Unfortunately I was just barely able to convince them to let me leave today and they no doubt will be watching my every move after our conversation."

Catt Hatter : "R-really? Thanks!" Catt smiled, her cheeks pink. "Also, I love learning and baking. Learning to bake something new sounds great!"
She stood and brushed her hands off on her jeans. "We should probably put the wagon away first though, and wash up."
"Right you are. " She said putting the pots back in the wagon with the other tools, " Go ahead and wash, I'll put this up." As she pulled the cart it got stuck in another pothole. Millie huffed in frustration, then turned, grabbed the side of the cart with one hand and pick it up andm let part of it on her shoulder. She turned to Catt, "go on I'll be back." Then trotted off to put the wagon away.

Catt's eyebrows tried to hide under her bangs in surprise. "O-okay." she said, finding her voice. She headed off to wash up, then waited by the door for her new friend.
Millie had seemed very interested in getting to other dimensions, and she felt bad that she didn't have a stable way she could help her. If there was a way Marbles could actually control where he ended up, she would offer his help. But unfortunately, those experiments were going nowhere. Can't even figure out how to block his teleporting. She thought.

After Millie put away the wagon she washed-up in the infirmary. While she did so her mind began to scowled her.
What are you doing? You're not supposed to be getting attached to this world, you shouldn't be trying to make friends! You don't need them! Don't you want to get back home, what about Griffin? You were only supposed to get information from that girl, nothing more!
She shook her head egnoring it, Catt was nice and she still felt bad about stealing her tea. She finished up and went back to the garden with a a basket.

( Hyde without a Jekyll I GOT IT DONE AAAAAHHHHHH )
What's your character's full name?
-Malemi
What's your favorite quote from your character?
- " Peace is not a word I know... "
What do they look like and what's their personality like?
- He looks like a large, distorted catlike creature with ears and black fur. He’s got long arms and hands. He’s got large,white eyes with no noticeable pupils. He’s got a tail, which is a recent addition to his form. He has no back legs but he moves around as though he does. ( His back legs are more like stumps. )
- Malemi is stand-offish and volatile, often distrusting of others and aggressive when meeting new people. If he’s in the mood, he’ll be manipulative and conniving, trying to lure people into a false sense of security so that he may attack/convince them to be his host.
When he’s comfortable/not defensive, he is much more calmer while still aloof. He may still be untrusting, but he’s more willing to be friendly with people.
Earning his trust will make him open and honest, treating the individual as a friend and will try to protect them from harm. He isn’t one to spill his heart out, choosing instead to keep most things to himself. He is playful and likes a good conversation.
What's their backstory before they came to the society?
-Once a cat, he lived with other homeless cats in the alleyways and slums. He was weaker than the rest, so he was unable to fight the others for food and shelter and was often beaten and left to die. He grew angry and vengeful towards others and wouldn’t let them get the better of him. One night, a man lured him out into the open and tried to snatch him. He fought back, biting his hand, and almost escaped when he was kicked to near death. Unwilling to die, he hung onto life and was found by a demon named Selan. Selan saw potential in him and offered him her gift. He accepted it and became what he is now. Since then, he has vowed to destroy mankind and all they stand for.
Do you have any pictures of them that you drew or found?

Do they have any nicknames?
- Pusstergeist
What do they study at the society?
- N/A
Do they have any jobs?
-No job
What is their age?
- unknown
Are they human? If not what are they?
-A beast/a ghoul-like creature with demonic abilities
Are they single, dating someone, or married?
- No, no, and No!
What's their height?
- His natural height is 6ft 5 in when standing at full height. He can shrink down to 4ft 5in and grow to 7ft. 4ft at shoulder/when on “all fours”.
What's their weight?
- Considering his distorted proportions, it’s kinda hard to get a real weight on him. But he is pretty heavy/dense. I’d say between 120-190 pounds? His weight doesn’t really change or show. He moves around as though he’s light, but the weight hits you when he pounces.
Anything else I should know about this character?
- He can be rather impulsive and emotionally overwhelmed at times. He occasionally goes hunting for men and is willing to eating them. He has three pairs of arms overall, but only has two out most of the time. His eyes can split into six. He recognizes himself as being catlike but doesn’t remember that he was a cat. He dislikes cats and scares them off when they’re nearby, but doesn’t kill them, even saving them from dangerous situations should he be present. He sometimes parades as a demon. He claims to be immortal, though he can be killed. He has a minor growth/shrink factor, being about to shrink down two feet and grow one foot.

(( Dr. H. Griffin Sorry for dying on ya for the past couple of days- Exams are hell, as I'm sure you know XD
Here's your last post on Cheshire's thread for context:
Cheshire shuffled his feet, feeling the cold green grass between his toes. Should I tell him? Would he be sympathetic or apathetic?
"I am running away, yes." Cheshire replied; he may as well have a friend out here. "As you can see, being invisible isn't exactly a favourable condition in England. Nor anywhere else... I had to leave my family, you see. They must be worried sick right now." ))
Richard was both sympathetic and apathetic at the same time, and oh, wasn't it a curious feeling? This extreme division between body and mind was disconcerting on some minor, distant level, but irrelevant according to the numbness of the majority.
Still, he was nothing if not a well-versed actor of Humanity- he had successfully fooled Will and others like him- those who could slip into the mindsets of other people based off of microexpressions and body language, those who were chameleons. He had successfully fooled constables and law enforcement agencies on the three different continents he had left his own macabre art.
Those were more distant times, but old habits died hard, and even his near-extinguished survival instincts knew better than to let the wrong sort of person in. If this Cheshire character thought him a threat, Richard was at a serious disadvantage should it come to a fight.
The one eye of his that was visible despite his wild curls and wrapped scarf softened in understanding that was almost his. Tilting his head, he nodded and spoke softly. "Y-you have m-my sympathies- N-neither p-persecution n-nor separation f-from b-beloved is an e-easy thing to endure." Cold January nights flickered behind his eyes, and the cries of angry rebels and enraged soldiers filled an air only he could breathe.
He blinked, and they were gone, but the ghosts of those nights were forever suspended in waiting, forever prickling his spine.
He shook his head as if he could clear the air further and huffed a small sigh. "If t-there is s-something I c-can d-do with my l-limited p-power t-to help, I offer it t-to you." Best to make allies or indebted souls whenever possible. Many mentors had taught him that.
Besides, Cheshire was a kindred soul almost. There was undoubtedly more to the story, but even if it were a lie, the best sorts of lies were based in truth.

Cheshire smiled. He hadn't properly smiled in a while. Not since...
"I doubt that you could help me physically. I've been like this for months. And still haven't found a proper cure other than paint. And even that was problematic."
It was quite pleasurable to relay this kind of information to another person. Like it was squashing an annoying fly or passing a test.
"The only cure I've been told is death; and I assure that I won't be doing that."
((That's fine! I've got exams soon enough; most of us do. :) ))

Richard chuckled. "I f-figured as s-such p-physically, and w-would n-not recommend d-death f-for what s-seems to b-be a temporary p-problem. I m-meant more along t-the t-terms of s-safehouses and h-hiding from t-those who s-seek. I h-have a n-number of w-ways t-to find b-both, for t-the right s-sort of p-person or b-being."
Cheshire was an interesting sort of person. Talking with him felt akin to a dance- similar to talking to Lewis, or Hannibal and Will even. There was less risk with this sort of dance, however. It was unlikely to affect him too terribly negatively should the dance end with one of them stumbling too far in one direction.
An easy sort of waltz, of give and take. Not like the mazourka or hopak he spent hours practicing to satisfy Russian officials, nor the klumpakojis and the wild, spinning dances of his youth that came before.
(( Today on things I spent way too long looking up: Traditional Russian and Lithuanian dances. A lot are really quite fast and leap-y XD ))

Cheshire took off the coat, satisfied that he was warm enough to make the journey back to his board. He threw it to Richard.
"And what sort of price would such a person have to pay? I have scarce money to speak of."

He caught the coat and put it on as he spoke. "T-the right s-sort of p-person is an interesting one. I h-have no interest in seeking p-pay. M-material w-wealth is s-something I h-have a r-rather g-gross over-a-abundance of. I g-give it f-freely t-to, again, t-the r-right s-sort."
One such safe-house of his was in Kronberg im Taunus, as it turned out. Nearby enough to walk. Charricthran could meet him on the road and give him the key. As for the other methods of avoiding detection...
Well, Cheshire would have to specify what he was looking for.
"W-where d-does y-your interest l-lie, I w-wonder?"

"A cure. That's all I want. Not much point in a safe house or hiding place when I can't be seen." replied Cheshire. "Since I doubt you have a cure to speak of, there's not much point to our conversation on my side; is there?"
Cheshire looked to the body again, and shuffled his feet. He turned back to Richard.

That was a lie. A complete and utter lie. Were he not so invested in playing the good Doctor Prince, he would laugh out loud.

Richard's eye(s) narrowed. "And I t-told y-you, Signore Cheshire, I h-had n-nothing t-to d-do w-with it."
Maybe not this innocent person, but there were those pigs whose blood was on his hands. He couldn't imagine saying anything along those lines would endear him to his conversational partner.

Cheshire sighed. True or not, someone is dead.
"Well... fine." Cheshire replied. "Fine..."
After Moriarty, Cheshire had not intended to meet anyone that could pose a threat; neither physically, mentally or financially. But with Richard, it wasn't a threat. He was a definitive harbor.

Richard huffed his own small sigh and watched from his distant viewpoint as the small exhalation turned into a poorly muffled coughing fit of all of five seconds. Minor irritation aside, they were still five seconds that slipped from his control without his will.
He leaned a little heavier on his cane as if that could compensate for drowning lungs. He glanced at the body and sighed again, pinching the bridge of his nose as his headache returned with a clamoring vengeance.
He looked up in the general direction of Cheshire and saw the bloated corpses he'd had to leave behind (he couldn't bury them, couldn't consume them either). He saw more than felt his fingers twitch with thinly-concealed surprise.
It was very possible the madness he'd experienced before talking to Lewis, when Elias and Artemis found him on the floor of his rooms with his arms cast aside, was back.
The stag certainly seemed to think so. He muttered a quiet curse in his native tongue, shaking his head as if it would help.

Cheshire frowned; not because he couldn't understand what was being said but the negative tone that was inferred.
"I beg your pardon?" Cheshire asked. He was becoming more unsettled by the minute. Whoever this Richard Prince was; Cheshire doubted many people would care to tell the tale of how they met.
Cheshire scanned the area quickly; ways out, weapons, hiding places; in case of an aggressive expansion of the situation.

"N-not you, just.. M-memories." He chuckled. "G-ghosts, if y-you w-will. My a-apologies. P-perhaps it is b-best if y-you go: I w-would h-hate t-to unsettle y-you any m-more than I l-likely h-have."
Not to mention, any number of things could happen, and he needed time alone with the body to decipher the hidden messages and maps seen through implication only.
There was also the matter of the hallucinations themselves. Those were never good.

"Right... Of course." Cheshire shiftily replied. "This is me going."
Cheshire went past, patting Richard on the shoulder. He decided that a jump over the wall would suffice as an exit.
"Hopefully we'll meet again." Cheshire blatantly lied.

Without saying another word, or even turning back to face Richard; Cheshire strolled over to the wall and clambered over it.
As his bare feet hit the ground, Cheshire nearly threw up from shock.

In the silence that followed, Richard's sigh all but screamed in the absence of sound, bouncing in his ears. He winced with barely a twitch of the fingers (just in case someone else was watching- just in case-), then turned to face the body once more, getting lost in memory and metaphor until the next unexpected set of footsteps disturbed him.

Sorry this took so long to get to you and I apologize I haven't been on and finished our RP yet. Life's been trying to murder me (hyperbole) and I'm about to lose my computer. Until things settle down and I can track down a proper computer I won't be able to get back on and continue our story and I'm truly sorry about the inconvenience. It'll probably be a week or two or more depending on things before I'm back. Sorry again and let me know if there's anything I need to adjust with his page while I still can!

Don't worry about the rps! We can always pick up where we last left off once you get everything under control. Sorry to here that life's biting you right now, must be rough, especially if your computer's not working either! Hopefully everything gets sorted out within these next few weeks and Life finally gets off your back!
Also, His page looks great, thank you for making it! Nothing needs to change!
