Mel: The four of them flew, Regan and Brille leading the way; Brilles eyes drooping all the while. "Can fight off the stuff better then normal kids..." He slurred to the other two, looking horrible all the while. Regan called to him over her shoulder "stop talking...you're sorry enough without having to prove it to us." "Awh...Shut..." "Another word and you're swimming there." She flailed her left leg viciously, making him nod in mock understanding. The two flew into an old rock shelf cut deep into the sandstone cliffs near lake...whateveritwascalled. Nobody really knew, nor cared, what it's name was. It was a rather large bowl, cut out most likely by the water currents from a time long ago, when the water was however many meters high that shelf was...(c)

Mel: "Home sweet home..." Brille slurred, staggering off towards a rounded corner formed into a large makeshift bed, tripping and then falling on his face into the old, dust matresse. A cloud of soot formed above his head, and he, coughing, let out a small grimace as the dust settled atop his head, before falling asleep. Regan rolled her eyes. "Now we all know what he'll look like when he's drunk..." She motioned to a few small cusions stationed next to the 'firepit' as she reached for a match inside the bag she had slung over her shoulder. "Gave up on trying to find a /real/ home ages ago, the two of us did. This-" She motioned around the shelf "Is as good as it's ever gotten." She chuckled darkly to herself, remembering something, but shook it off quickly as the fire blazed to a beginning.(c)

Mel: "Then again, what kind of home is there, really, for us mutants, eh?" When she talked, one could now hear that she carried a thick accent of sorts. Which did nothing but deepen the oddity of her harsh voice against her petite body. "Once sleeping beauty over there wakes up, we can talk. I'd much rather explain once he's living again. Shouldn't take long." She nodded towards her brother. "He's about as loser as it gets...that one. Most days I wish I could say we're not blood relatives..." She sighed "But he's got a good heart...and i guess that's what counts the most these days. But I'm rambling. I'm Regan. He's Brille. And lord thunderin', are we both ever pleased to meet you two." She shook their hands quickly and professionally, ignoring the fact that it contradicted her words. (d)

Lati: Crescent was, surprisingly the first to land on the cliff-like thing. It looked comfortable, cozy and sturdy. She flinched when she heard Brille fall on the matress. "Well he looks tired," she mumbled, ignoring the fact that she hadn't slept in days. A cool breeze waved by, and her dark locks flapped, revealing her deformed eye. With a gasp, she turned around to cover it. "Umm.. it's really cozy," she said, and Shadow could tell she didn't feel like talking, so he stepped up. "It's good to meet you Regan, umm..." he glanced over at Brille, "Brille, too. I'm Shadow and that's Crescent," he said, looking surprised when Regan shook their hands. "Umm.. excuse Crescent, she's not used to other folks like ourselves," he motioned at her. Crescent was looking into the distance, at the large lake.

Mel: Regan nodded. "I can believe it. He'd still be in shock, if he hadn't passed out." She smiled weakly, letting what was left of the setting sun to shine on her face, warming it up. "We have a couple of blankets around here somewhere..." She turned around for a moment, with shift in wind from her skirt sifting up dust once again. 'sorry..." She groaned from behind, pulling out a couple of wool blankets. "They're wonderful, if you like the feel of wool. And they keep. Well." The sun reflected on her almost colourless hair, turning it the same gold as the sunset to her right. "I could make us all some hot cider, if you wanted. we have the little packets...somewhere..." she got up again, even though she hadn't fully sat down yet, and grabbed four of the small packages from a large sac. "There."

Lati: Shadow nodded gratefully when Regan handed them the blankets. 'You really should come over, Crescent,' he thought, knowing that Crescent was reading his mind at the moment. Heck, she always was. "Fine," she said out loud, and sat down beside him and Regan. "Thanks, we'd like some," she mumbled and smiled slightly when Regan handed her and him some cider. Shadow glanced over at her. She wasn't acting like her usual self. She was more mopey. Than usual. Suddenly, as if there was a switch of gears, Crescent piped up, "how long do you think he's gonna be out?" She paused a second. "Hi head's completely empty right now. Not even the slightest hint of a dream," she giggled.

Mel: "It's like that most days, to be frank." she replied. "But it shouldn't take too long here..." She threw her now empty cider cup at her brother's head "Hey Pete, rise and shine..." With a slight yell, he got to his feet, blinking. "Kill much?" he asked, rubbing where the cup had contacted his head. He nodded a slight greeting to the two guests, and took his cup. Sitting down beside his sister, he blinked off sleep, silently.

Lati: Shadow blinked, and then leaned over to whisper something in Crescent's ear. She giggled and nodded. "Welcome back to earth," she announced, ignoring the urge to stand up and open her arms in greeting. The sun was almost completely submerged underneath the mountains in the distance, and another breeze blew past. This time it was cold, and as it passed through her feathers, he shuddered slightly, hugging her blacket more. "So... you had something to say?" Crescent tried to start a conversation.

Mel: He looked at her groggily "I did?" he asked, immediately turning to Regan. "was I saying something?" Wondering if his sister had volunteered him for something once again without his permission, or even knowledge of the event happening. "Mmm...I'm Brille..." He blinked absently, still slightly sleepy. "And you two are...Shadow and Crescent....or so /she/ says...." He pointed at Regan. "Oh, I know! I'm fifteen from two weeks ago, I think. Maybe. So's she...and I can fly..." Regan rolled her eyes. "Don't mind him. He suffers from post-sleep stupidity. Must be the tranq still..."

Lati: Shadow laughed out loud for one of the first times in days, Crescent did too. "That's how Shadow acts in the mornings." Shadow tightened his fist, and Crescent was about to run away, but there was no way in... heck she could outrun him. "I was kidding," she muttered, "you party pooper.."

Mel: Regan smiled "Mhm...must be a guy thing. I, myself, like mornings. So does he...if I can ever get him up at that time fo day." Brille glared at her. "Yeah, well just remember I'm the one who's left to clean up all your crap at the end of the day while you go off and sleep." Brille turned backwards, plucking a brown feather off of his wing. "Ugh. Stupid thing..." He examined the rogue feather, and chucked it onto the floor.

Lati: Crescent nodded. "Must be.." She looked around, he long hair swaying at this altitude, and she yawned slightly. "Ahh...shooawry," she said while she was. She was still thinking about why she was drawn to these two. Their aura was starange, but she probably gave off the same one. And why did she follow them? She was clearnly drawn to them, almost like they were irrisistable. Like honey to a bee. Well, honey, you just got yourself into a lot, she thought to herself.

You sure did.

"What the..." Crescent muttered. Shadow looked over, a questioning look on his face. "Did you hear that...? Or did anyone say something..?" She saw heads being shook. "Are you alright..?" Shadow muttered, and Crescent nodded, though unsurely. What was that? It wasn't a voice that she had ever heard before.

Lati: '... man, what was that...' Crescent thought. It was a strange feeling, having someone... or something, in her head that she didn't realize. She tried to scan the two mile radius she could for anything that seemed to be the same she heard, but she felt nothing. No big deal. She probably imagined it. It wasn't hard, with all the voices she heard in her head from other people's thoughts. Crescent looked back at the group, and Shadow, who was looking at her oddly. She smiled awkwardly, and just muttered, "never mind... it was nothing."

Mel: Brille looked at Crescent quizzically. "You sure...?" He tilted his head, worry creasing over his features slightly. "She said she was fine. Don't get all attatched to them just yet." She smiled wryly. "this kid'll jump off a cliff for anyone that's brave enough to talk to him." Regan smiled "That's only because you do all the talking for me, eejit." He said, elbowing her in the ribs.

Lati: Crescent nodded again, "yeah, I'm sure I'm fine." Before she knew it, the sky was darkening, and she was getting more tired that ever. That's what she gets for staying up for two nights in a row.

Mel: Brille motioned towards the bed "We have room..." Regan elbowed him back "Don't scare them..." He smiled wolfishly. "I can't help it...I'm a guy..." He wandered off towards the bed. "You were the one who said it could fit an army, weren't you, Hypocrite?" A cloud of dust billowed up again as he plummeted down onto the bed, wings open. "Oh god...that felt good." Regan laughed and took her place at his feet, doing the same thing. "Indeed it does." Dust clouded her wings
