Posted 2022-08-03 20:03:23 (edited) #810188 *Astrid swore she heard someone singing, and it seemed to distract her for just long enough to readjust her breathing. She hesitantly stood up and opened the door, realising that the hinges had rusted.* Shit- I lost control again. *She shook her head a little and walked out, going towards the sound. She found the room and knocked on the door lightly, but got no response as the singing continued. She opened the door slightly, seeing the man from earlier on the inside. He sounded utterly insane, but she didn't seem to mind. She lingered in the doorway for a moment, not saying anything. This person seemed to be off their rocker, and she didn't want to unintentionally set them off. After all, she had no idea who they were or what they could do.* "Are you.. okay.?" *She finally asked, sounding almost confused. She normally didn't concern herself with the well being of others, but the way this person acted was genuinely concerning to her. She didn't dare step into the room, but she stayed by the door frame with a concerned look in her eyes.* SOOOOOO sorry. Ah was watchin a movie with mah roommate! ))

Posted 2022-08-03 20:35:49 (edited) #810195 (Sounds ya two are close) *Cress jolted up and the moment he saw Astrid, he toppled over his chair and instinctively did a summer salt to the side and with widened eyes, he was now standing across from Astrid, his face red with sheer embarrassment* "C-Cress is fine!" *He blurted as he just stood there, his eyes fixated on Astrid's, then the worst thing happened-his hair and hat caught fire! Cress swiftly patted it out and griped his sides, then slightly arched forward and started hacking up flames, SHIT!!!! Not now!!!, he scolded himself as he felt his anxiety come back. After five minutes of hacking flames that vanished shortly after, he finally stood up straight* "S-sorry about that…happens when Cress gets nervous…" *He looked down then walked over to Astrid and nervously held out a hand* "Name's Cress" *He panted a little, obviously nervous as all hell, and was trying his best to seem normal*

Posted 2022-08-03 20:46:38 #810199 Mmhm~ Ah've known 'er for years. )) *Astrid felt obscenely awkward as she waited for him to put out the fire that had miraculously spawned on his hat, but she didn't dare speak again. She hesitated to take his hand, almost afraid that he could get hurt just by touching her.* You have your gloves. He'll be fine. *She reassured herself as she reached out and took his hand.* "Astrid." *She didn't quite know what else to say, and quickly realised she still looked like a hot mess. She quickly wiped her face and then looked back up at him.* "Sorry- This has been a real shitty day. Do you know h-how to get out of here? I-It's a bit of a maze, and I think some of your friends are still looking for me." *She sighed, still sounding anxious. She didn't want to go back out there and face the ones who had caused this, but she wasn't sure if there was a back exit or anything. All Astrid wanted was to get home and never go out again. Today was hell for her, and she could do to never try this again. She quickly noticed his confused expression, so she elaborated.* "O-Oh! Sorry- I'm not supposed to be here, buuuut they kinda put me out on stage by mistake. Pretty sure they're worried I'm gonna sue." *She rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly, glancing down to make sure her gloves were still on. The last pair she'd had ended up disintegrating because she got nervous.*

Posted 2022-08-03 20:53:01 #810201 "Oh Cress understands! One time Cress was mistaken for baker!" *Cress turned around and walked over to a wooden tube and kicked it to the side, revealing an old, but well used hatch door, he then looked over to Astrid tiled his head, thinking, after a moment he walked over to Astrid and started to mess with her hair then with a nod he stepped back* "Ok now Cress will now lead Astrid" *He smiled then went over to the hatchet, popes it open and jumped down*

Posted 2022-08-03 20:58:09 #810205 *She was confused as to why he was speaking in third person, but she didn't feel it was worth her time to judge him. How he spoke was none of her business, and it didn't affect her. She flinched a little when he touched her, but tried to keep herself together. When he stepped back, she realised he'd just been messing with her hair a bit.* ". . Alright." *She mumbled, following him down the hatch. She jumped down, having a hard time seeing. She felt like she should ask what this place was, but she was also somewhat nervous to find out.* Yeah, real smart, Astrid. Go ahead and follow the psycho you just met in some creepy circus!            It's not like you're much better.            Just shut up. *She tended to argue with herself from time to time, but no one else needed to know that. She'd been told before that she was crazy, but she'd just brushed it off. She was 'normal' for the most part, so she just chose to think that she was completely fine.*

Each step Cress took the cracks on the stone floor would gently light up do to his flames, leaving behind a trail, and lit the area enough to also reveal multiple winding tunnels that was wide enough for two people to stand side by side, and blood staining the floor.* "Don't worry about the blood, it's only Ara" *Cress couldn't help but hum at the name, Ara was the closest thing to a friend he had, but soon felt his heart drop as he realized that Astrid would possibly use the tunnels again, and the thought of her hurting Ara made his flames flash from light yellow, to bloody crimson, he glanced over his shoulder and calmed himself, his eyes, however, were flickering like a living bonfire*

Posted 2022-08-03 21:20:18 #810210 *Astrid immediately noticed the blood on the ground, but didn't seem too bothered by it.* You should be afraid. This isn't normal.      Does it really matter?        . . Yes?! *She noticed him glance back at her, so she just gave a soft smile and kept looking around. The old tunnels were fascinating to her, and she began humming under her breath without noticing. They wandered through the tunnels for a while before she finally felt calm enough to speak.* "Who's Ara?" *She asked, sounding genuinely curious. She was just trying to make conversation and avoid the awkward silence, to be honest.*

Posted 2022-08-03 21:27:08 (edited) #810211 *Cress made some sharp turns and felt his stomach turn once Ara's name was brought up, he didn't know if he was allowed to answer, but remembered a time when he was suppose to say his master's name before even himself, but Ara wasn't his master anymore, she doesn't conduct experiments on him anymore so, how what would he call her? An ex master? The one who made him this way? As Cress made it to an old, wooden ladder he made his at up it, opened the hatch and simply never responded to Astrid's question, in fact, he was dead silent, the sort that suggests he was hiding something. It was night when Cress emerged from the tunnel, he took some steps away from the hatch and scanned the area, he was in a park that was walking distance from the circus*

Posted 2022-08-03 21:37:04 #810213 *Astrid could tell it was a sensitive subject, so she just gave up on asking. His friends didn't concern her anyways, so she felt no need to speak again. She followed him up the ladder and glanced around, quickly realising what time it was.* "Shit- I'm so fucked." *She uttered, though, it was mostly to herself. She pulled out her phone and sighed, running a hand through her hair. She shook her head a little and looked back over at Cress.* "Thanks. I appreciate the help. Sorry- I probably wasted your time here." *She smiled a little, fidgeting with her gloves as she spoke.*

Posted 2022-08-03 21:48:10 #810216 *Cress noticed the gloves the moment he saw Astrid and found it odd, it wasn't nearly cold enough for them, but as he scanned her face he knew it was better to not say anything, and in truth he was getting nervous, not only would it only take a matter of time before the others would go searching for him, but he felt he'd only make things weirder by going back into the tunnels immediately* "Cress feels bad for you being shoved all day, and wants you to know that the others got excited since a well known dick wade called.." *He paused and his face wrinkled from pure hate* "Lance" *He spat out then continued* "Came here recently and tickets are going out the door as fast as Cress burning paper!" *He smirked then raised up his hand which was enveloped in a bright, blue flame, he eyes flickered then as he lowered his hand the flame slowly went out, then he looked back at Astrid and his face saddened* "Oh..s-sorry for the horrid day you had by the way!" *He nervously tugged the bottom of his shirt* "You…seem rather nice, you didn't touch Cress or try to get Cress to take a picture" *He froze, Why the fuck did Cress say that?!!!!, he thought to himself with a sharp wince, but he knew why, Astrid wasn't a fan of his and seemed like a more sane person then him, which was rare considering where they were*
