At least he was conscious, though Kang didn’t sound good. “You’re going to be alright, just stay with me.” Elijah stroked the back of Kang’s paw gently with his thumb and twisted to look back at the attackers. His eyes fell on the camera, and he used magic to bring it over so he could pry open the compartment for the memory. There were two. One looked perfectly normal, the other had a small sticker on it with a bullseye-like symbol that he couldn’t place. He slipped both of them into his pocket in case there was something stored on them that they could use later.

Right now the priority was Kang. He gathered the fox up in his arms as carefully as he could and stood up, leaning back to take some of Kang’s weight on his chest. “I’m gonna take you to the library, ok? It’s safe, and we can figure out if you need to go to the hospital or the Dumisanis or somewhere else.” He teleported into the staff break room and walked over to the sink, still holding onto Kang. He didn’t want to just abandon the fox without giving him a warning. “Can I put you down and see if there’s anyone here who knows more about spirits? I’ll be back soon no matter what.”

All the fox spirit could do in his state was allow Elijah to pick him up as he slumped into his arms exhausted. He barely registered anything as Elijah teleported them into the library nearby, Remington-owned so it was very safe. 

He nodded vaguely, another soft whimper escaping him as he lay his head back down, pain throbbing in his skull from the deep gash across his forehead. He must have really been hurt bad given how he could hardly access his usual magic to shift back into his human form. In addition to feeling so drained, it felt strange being in such a state in his fox form where anyone who came by could see. 

He was supposed to be human, damnit!

Kang sighed from where he was set down and waited for Elijah to return.

You would think that Peter would want to be anywhere but in the Shipyard area. Between the attacks around the city and the fact that he had stolen the body he was in, you'd think he would avoid it but it was also where he felt most at home, having lived here his entire life. He liked to think it was still a developing area with the city and he often went out to different cafes and food places that were popping up in the district.

With the weather still being warm, he decided to go for a walk and do just that. With his backpack slung over his shoulder and a baseball cap slung backwards, he set off. The first stop was a busy little French bakery with a line out the door. One thing he'd learned was that if a place had a line, it was probably worth waiting for. A short while later, he found a seat outside and rested his coffee on his knee as he tried the first of the treats he had bought.

He let out a low groan, truly impressed by the flavour and flakes in the baked pastry. Noticing someone watching him, he smiled sheepishly. "You really should try this," he said, offering half of the croissant he'd already torn into. From the taste of this one, Peter was certain he was going to go back and buy more. Maybe even an entire bag's worth. His mind filled with ideas of how to use them, aside from in there current form. "Really, take it. I'm going back into buy more," he chuckled.

[kitsunexkang]

Eating was always a good way to distract entertain himself and Kang was eyeing the croissant the stranger was digging into. Although the stranger was not quite a stranger because there was something about him that felt familiar to the fox spirit, but Kang could not quite put his finger on it.

"What?" he was shocked out of his staring by the question and subsequent offer. Had he really looked that ravenous? "Oh, no. I couldn't take your meal. Did you get it from that cafe up the road?" he asked, moving closer out of genuine curiosity, although it was more for the stranger now than for the pastry.

He’d seen the men running into the alley and had a bad feeling. When he followed them, he saw the three gathered around something at the base of one of the walls. He could hear a couple of their comments and through their legs he caught a glimpse of familiar white fur.

“Hey!” That at least got them to pause and turn towards him. He reached out with his magic to grab the camera and slam it into the attacker’s face hard enough to smash open the casing, before ripping it out of his hand. It was easy enough to take his shock and use it to knock the man out all the way. With that one dealt with and the camera out of play, he teleported beside the one with the baseball bat. Elijah used his magic to grip the man’s upper arm and yank it hard enough to make the attacker scream as it popped out of the socket. He took the bat from his limp hand and hit him on the head to send him crashing to the ground unconscious.

The one who had kicked Kang was standing in the middle of the alley with his fists up, looking between Elijah and his fallen comrades as he decided whether to fight or run away. Before he could decide, Elijah used magic snap his ankle and knock him out.

With the three attackers dealt with, he rushed over to Kang and knelt down beside him. “Kang?” He reached out to hold one of the fox’s paws. There was a lot of blood around his head, and Elijah didn’t know enough about foxes to know how bad it was. “Kang, it’s Elijah. Can you hear me?” He repeated the question psychically just to be sure.

Kang was backed up against the wall of the dead end alley as the attackers closed in on him, camera poised and filming and bat raised as the drew closer and their jeers became more cruel. He barely managed to dodge another aimed kick where he tried sinking his teeth and claws into the attackers shoe when someone else made an appearance!

The fox spirit was still doing his best to keep up the fight when he was dislodged from said shoe and thrown against the wall where he slid down, not paying much attention to the sounds of fighting around him but when his eyes blinked open in a blurred haze, Kang could vaguely recognised Elijah amongst them.

Oh, thank goodness! He thought to himself as he tried to push himself up again with the intention to help, but he could not quite do so and slumped down again in a heap of bloodied white fur. 

It was only when the fight was over and Elijah came over to check on him that Kang managed to open his eyes again and he made a pained sound as his paw curled into Elijah’s.

for: @eremington location: near a back alley in dymock

It was only after the plume of smoke went off against his head that Kang realised what was going on. He had been hit by something and that was quickly followed by what he could vaguely discern as three dark figures coming towards him. It all lined up with the rumours of attacks, but they were supposed to be only rumours!

Shit! Kang cursed, eyes darting around when the smoke cleared only to see a baseball bat coming towards his head and it was only by his good reflexes that he barely managed to dodge, only for it to graze the side of his head. That was more than enough to send Kang’s head snapping back as he stumbled and fell to the ground. The next blow came in the form of one of the figures lifting a foot to kick him.

The fox spirit panicked as he felt himself weaken. But given that his physical strength was not much different to that of a human’s, the spell he was hit with affected him differently and the magic that was keeping him in his human form was beginning to drain.

The kick that was meant for his abdomen passed right through Kang as the fox spirit turned incorporeal on instinct and scrambled backwards despite the pain in his head and he panicked even more as he felt his human form start to shift!

“Whoa! What’s this one doing?” One of the assailants called out as they pointed a handheld camera at Kang. 

“Is that a fox?! Holy shit! This video’s going to sell!” The one with the baseball bat whooped. 

“Did you see that though? My foot passed right through him! It! Whatever that is!” the other one laughed in cruel delight.

Kang the fox was bleeding from a wound on his head and he yelped as he scrambled into the nearest dark alley he could reach, anything to help him get away from this as his attackers gave chase!

“Sorry to startle you.” Things seemed calm enough so far. The forest around him looked peaceful enough, though Kang appeared to be a little on edge.

“Your mind fills in the details, right?” He looked over Kang’s shoulder and tried to push away some of the trees past the line closest to them to create a small clearing. When the light shifted, that seemed to be a sign that it had worked and he gestured towards it to catch Kang’s attention. “What would we find over there?”

[augustine-lycaon]

"I'm good," Augustine reassured, motioning for Kang to relax on the idea. "I'll pass on the drink, but we can get you a refill if you want? Or maybe some water?" He couldn't help but feel concerned for Kang, thinking he seemed far too naive and trusting in a metaphorical den of wolves.. Even though it was the actual wolves whom were far from the actual threat. It was a relief to see the lack of red collar around Kang's neck, knowing at very least Kang wasn't that naive.

[kitsunexkang]

Water? The night was too young for water but the fox spirit was not about to say no because he could suddenly feel how dry his mouth became on Augustine's suggestion.

"Water it is. Lead the way," Kang grinned and looped his arm into the crook of Augustine's elbow. "Are you having fun? You don't look like you're having fun... I don't think parties are really your scene, are they?" he yelled over the thumping music as he vaguely wondered what it was doing to the werewolf's heightened senses. While he knew Augustine worked at Vicium, there was still something about the whole image that was a little off.

[xu-ying-feng]

"Everything," Theodore spat, only slightly jolted by the sudden pull. He ran a hand through his hair, squinting. Momentarily, a brief exhilaration filled his body, then left just as quickly.

"It's a fine face," he contradicted himself. He looked a bit confused. "I'm home," Theodore stated. He began to actively squeeze himself through the dancing bodies. Where was his home? Car? Tree. Tree was nice.

[kitsunexkang]

"Everything?" Kang turned concerned eyes to Theodore. His human form was something that he could not exactly change now, despite the illusion magic the fox spirit possessed. Kang quite liked the way he looked.

"Hey!" Kang called out, reaching out to twist his fingers in Theodore's shirt to follow him through the crowd of dancing bodies. "It's too early to be going home now!"

[augustine-lycaon]

Augustine had next to no interest in getting drunk at a vampire bash. The idea seemed reckless and asking for trouble. How any were could think it was smart was beyond him, and he had been relieved to see a handful from his former packer remaining sober as well.

Did he want to be there? No, not really. But he knew enough people present who didn’t mind vampires as much, and he couldn’t help but feel a bit protective. Caleb’s annoying comment from their last chat kept repeating in his head too how they were suppose to be attempting to improve relations between the species— even if Augustine thought that was impossible.

Perhaps one of the only somewhat interesting aspects of such a party was the activity of people watching, and the wide variety of individuals present. The wolf had been leaning against a wall and watching the crowds when one particular individual caught his eye. Kang. Who he hadn’t seen since their last date— one that Augustine was now fairly sure Kang never meant to be a date. His pride had been hurt, but not enough for him to be rude or ignore the other, finding himself wanting to say hello and make sure the other male was having a good time without any potential vampiric issues. Before he realized it, Augustine had walked right up, tapping Kang on the shoulder gently.

“Having a good time?”

@kitsunexkang

[kitsunexkang]

"Auggie! Hi!" Kang's eyes widened when he found the werewolf before him after turning around. The last time they met had been for that ramen 'date' which left them in a bit of an awkward state where Kang was wondering if he should follow up on his promise to bring the man out for more food. He should have known that they would end up meeting at this party though. And that he was currently pretty tipsy.

"I am. I never knew that vampire parties got this crazy," he laughed. "You don't have a drink! We should get you one."

[xu-ying-feng]

Theodore blinked, making out Kang's face. Vaguely, he was remembered he was supposed to be the responsible adult out of the two. His face further heated at Kang's proximity, but it was hardly noticeable in the dim lighting

"Same old," the elf yelled, fighting to be heard. He was way too close. Was it because he was tired and completely out of it, but did Kang have Zhao's nose? Theodore couldn't remember. The man's face was all but a shadow and that frightened him. Was he forgetting him?

Theodore reached a hand up and pushed Kang's face to the side. "Your face!"

[kitsunexkang]

"Ah-! Hey!" Kang exclaimed when he suddenly found the elf's hand pushing his face away and he straightened himself up and pulled Theodore up with him. "What's wrong with my face?" he asked, bringing his own hand up to run it over his features.

WASTED: OPEN STARTER

@vievecorcitystarters

Location: The Shard

Time: Night

Theodore hadn't planned to drink much. As an avid drinker in his past, he thought why the hell not. He had been looking for a little fun in his life, something to rile the cinders inside him. He had just overestimated his tolerence.

After a few cups of an especially potent wine, which one of the vampires boasted as more than a century-old, a fog had filled his overly cautious brain. For the first time in a while, he felt.. well... there were strings attached to him anymore. He was weightless.

He danced with a fervor, limbs mixing fluidly with passbyers. It was one step, another step, and then his feet stumbled over each other and he fell. It didn't hurt, to his surprise.

"Well, hello there," he mumbled, looking up at the person who caught him."

[kitsunexkang]

"Oh, hey!" Kang exclaimed when he suddenly found himself with an armful of his very drunk friend. The fox spirit was not faring much better himself since he had down a number of drinks and was definitely feeling their effects.

"I haven't seen you in ages, Theodore! I love how you've just fallen into my arms though..." he grinned and leaned his face much closer to the elf's while still holding Theodore like he had just dipped him backwards in a dance. "How've you been?"

[kitsunexkang]

Elijah raised an eyebrow. That was certainly an interesting warning to leave him with before he had a chance to ask Kang more, but he supposed he would just have to deal with whatever he saw. He settled back into his chair and focused on Kang’s face, metaphorically knocking before he closed his eyes and slipped into the fox’s mind.

At first he saw Kang in the forest from a distance the same way as always. He seemed to be shifting back and forth between a fox and a human shape, and Elijah wasn’t sure if that was a part of the dream or just his own perception causing it. After a few moments he tried to follow Kang’s instructions, imagining himself standing beside one of the trees. Eventually he found himself there, reaching out to though the tree beside him. “Kang?”

The familiar forest around Kang immersed him in this familiar dream. It was not often that he had visitors in his dreamscape. No one usually cared about a little fox spirit to try to enter his dreams, so the voice calling out to him startled him for a moment. He jumped and solidified into his human form as he turned towards its source, only to see the familiar witch come up next to him.

“Oh. Elijah!” he breathed a sigh of relief before his eyes darted back towards the trees. The light coming through the branches still bathed the forest in a pleasant way but he was not sure how long that was going to last. “Right. Dream magic...” Kang nodded. “Want to try manipulating the forest around us?”

augustine-lycaon​:

“Ahh.. So you’re a foodie then,” Augustine responded with a nod– the atypical spot for a first date making a bit more sense. Not that there had been anything wrong with it from a quality perspective, although it had indeed made conversation difficult.  “I’m gonna hold you to that you know– a second date, that is.”

“Ah... Second date?” Kang’s eyes widened at that as he looked up at Augustine. He blinked up at the werewolf before his eyes darted to the side for a brief moment as it dawned on him that he still did not quite know what he was doing when it came to this whole dating thing. 

“I... I guess we can do that. Hotpot next?” he suggested. He liked Augustine enough at the moment so maybe he should just go with the flow while he figured this out. What was the worst that could happen?

[kitsunexkang]

eremington​:

Elijah blinked a few times to reorient himself. It was the same feeling of waking up after falling in a dream, and he took a moment to get used to being conscious again. He would have to ask Kang if there was a way to way the dreamer up a bit more gently. He retrieved the potion bottle and poured the correct dose into a glass before offering it to Kang. “How do I actually enter your dreams? I know how to view them while you’re asleep, but not how to actually interact with them.”

“Witches all have the ability to access basic dream magic, don’t they?” Kang smiled and took the glass with a small note of thanks. “It shouldn’t be difficult for you. As a matter of fact, your ability to view them will probably make things easier. Just concentrate and imagine yourself inside what you see in my dreams.” The fox spirit threw the drink back and set the glass back down.

“I should warn you that my dreams can be a little weird...” he chuckled lightly before leaning back against the back of his chair. “Remember, I’m technically still a fox.” And it was clear from when he entered Elijah’s dreams just how different his own recurring nightmares were in comparison. 

The potion was quick to take effect and Kang was soon falling asleep in his seat and his mind transported him to that familiar forest in his dreams.

augustine-lycaon​:

“I’d love one,” Augustine answered back with a pleased grin. “The park sounds excellent,” he added, walking in the direction of the park and gesturing for Kang to follow suit. “So do you go to that ramen spot often?”

Kang smiled and trailed behind Augustine for a few moments before he came up to walk beside him. “Probably a bit too often,” he laughed. “I try to find my favourite spots of different dishes all over the island. You could say that it’s a hobby of mine. Chissob Hills for ramen, there’s a really good Korean barbecue place in Hedon and an excellent hotpot place in Klin.” 

The fox spirit seemed to light up when he spoke about all his favourite foods. “I’ll take you next time. I like it when I can go with someone who has as big an appetite as me,” he teased.

augustine-lycaon​:

“I did. The company wasn’t half bad either,” Augustine responded cheekily, gaze raking over Kang for a moment. He had whole heartedly presumed thing was a date, but the other male’s behavior had been sending mixed signals all evening, making it hard to ascertain. “I only wish we hadn’t been so rushed there. I get why, but it would have been nice to have more time to chat, you know?”

“We can still hang around and chat,” Kang said with a smile. While Augustine had used the word ‘date’ in his text to him, the fox spirit had not put much thought on the implications of that word. “We’ve got the park or the forest nearby. Fancy a night time stroll?” he suggested with a grin. Augustine was a wolf and wolves liked nature just as Kang did so it seemed like a win-win. “I just remembered that the park was where we first met!”

sunshine | naz & kang

naz-ulusoy​:

-

It had been too close of a call for Naz’s liking. She shuffled the babies along, making sure they were tucked away safely before her attention returned to the man above her. At least he looked like he was sorry but the spirit’s heart was still racing in her chest at the close call. “It’s okay,” she said slowly, trying to calm herself down as well.

The man seemed to know her name and her eyes narrowed for a moment, trying to put a name to the face. “Ah, it’s quite alright. It just gave me a fright and likely their mother too,” she replied. Naz peeked under the shrubbery to check that they were still safe. “I’m sorry, have we met before?” she asked, deciding it would be better to learn his name than pretend like she knew it.

“I’m Kang,” the fox spirit said, not at all bothered that Naz did not know who he was since he was obviously the one of them who had done his homework on her. Naz had been around since Kang was still alive and as a spirit elder in Vievecor City, he looked upon her as an example of how to carry himself in his current human-passing life.

He watched as the bunnies hopped away from them to safety before turning his eyes back to the other. “I’m, uh... I’m a spirit too,” Kang said under his breath in case there were any curious ears around them. “Been one for a few decades but only just found this form a short while ago...” he added and gestured to his human shape, hoping Naz could read between the lines to deduce the sort of spirit he was.

ramen | augustine & kang

for: @augustine-lycaon location: a popular little ramen stall in chissob hills

[Text] Next Monday dinner time works great 😄

Kang had shot the words back to Augustine and made concrete plans to meet on a certain street at a certain time. Monday came around and the fox spirit found himself walking towards his favourite ramen stall where he met the werewolf and he introduced the man to his absolute favourite Black Pork Tonkotsu ramen and they spent a majority of the meal enjoying and savouring the rich textures and flavours.

They had to leave quite quickly once they were done given how busy the stall started to get and with the limited seating capacity and both men found themselves back on the street soon enough and very satisfied with the meal.

“There are a few of other ramens on the menu that are pretty good too, but the Black Pork one is just...” Kang pinched his fingers and thumb together, pressed them to his lips and tossed them forward. It was another one of those human hand gestured he had learned and he was surprised at how apt it was to describe an amazing meal. “I hope you enjoyed it. It looked like you really did.”
