﹙ yawns ﹚ mornin' magicbornes!

[❛ ‍𝓐 @JMNBORNE00]

@ERCBORNE00 i imagine he's out there somewhere, prowling the streets, charming random people, and stealing leftovers like a tiny, whiskered outlaw.

but enough about me. what about you? any fur companions?

[❛ ‍𝓐 @JMNBORNE00]

mm .. strange but have i ever seen a cat here ？not once, i think .. or maybe i am just blind.

[❛ ‍𝓐 @JMNBORNE00]

@ERCBORNE00 ﹙ hums softly, gaze drifting to his freshly clipped nails to avoid having an eye contact. ﹚

i once had a stray cat — though, i am not sure if i owned him or if he merely tolerated my existence. sadly, when i was unceremoniously dropped into this place, he didn't come along.

[❛ ‍𝓐 @JMNBORNE00]

@JSCBORNE01 and of course . . . your secret? it is safe with me. ﹙ scout's honor ﹚

[❛ ‍𝓐 @JMNBORNE00]

been drowning in classwork — literally, feels like i disappeared off the face of the academy for a bit. but at least now i'm back! ... though, uh, don't freak out if you feel a cold chill. might've picked up the spirit of a drowned diver from 60 years ago.

[❛ ‍𝓐 @JMNBORNE00]

@JSCBORNE01 ﹙ weaves fingers through the air, inky shadows slither forth, coiling around the spirit before whisking it away. ﹚

there. temporarily sealed and safely out of your hair. no need to lose sleep over wayward ghosts, i will be sure to keep them in check.

[❛ ‍𝓐 @JMNBORNE00]

@ERCBORNE00 you're right. i suppose i can only blame myself for not paying closer attention. i completely missed the cat hybrids. they're all rather adorable, aren't they? but it must be nice to have a stray cat around here. i had one back in the human world .. i suppose i miss it, in a way.

[❛ ‍𝓐 @JMNBORNE00]

@JSCBORNE01 ﹙ chuckles lightly, tilting his head as he watches the spirit drape its bony arm around the taller male's shoulder ; mischief in his eyes. ﹚

would you like a peek? i can let you see a little ... just a glimpse, though, cause am still gathering energy for a full manifestation.

[❛ ‍𝓐 @JMNBORNE00]

@JSCBORNE01 ﹙ presses his fingers thoughtfully against his chin, eyes narrowing. ﹚

hmmm ... let me think. ﹙ pauses dramatically before offering a sly grin. ﹚ so far, all he does is stare. occasionally, he tries to possess me. rather persistent, that one. desperate, even. poor thing.

[❛ ‍𝓐 @JMNBORNE00]

@JSCBORNE01 ﹙ eyes widen slightly as he notices the spirit creeping up behind mallory, sniffing their neck. ﹚

oh, it seems like he's taken a liking to you, mal ... he might want to keep you company tonight. ﹙ a soft, almost sinister chuckle escapes his lips ﹚ how ... charming.

[❛ ‍𝓐 @JMNBORNE00]

@JSCBORNE01 ﹙ stretches a hand forward, still bearing a lazy smile, expecting a handshake ﹚

as for the pesky spirit, i will be sealing him away soon enough. for now, i am just conserving my strength to perform the manifestation. i can endure his little antics a bit longer.

[❛ ‍𝓐 @JMNBORNE00]

@JSCBORNE01 but malevolent? no, just unbearably persistent. if anything, i am more worried about how he stares at me while i sleep. it's unsettling ... well, it's almost flattering, but mostly unsettling.

[❛ ‍𝓐 @JMNBORNE00]

@JSCBORNE01 ﹙ glances to the side, eyes half-lidded, addressing the unseen presence only he can perceive. ﹚

we've been stuck together for a few days now. he's insufferable — always buzzing with questions, like a curious child who doesn't understand the concept of personal space.

[❛ ‍𝓐 @JMNBORNE00]

@JSCBORNE01 .. a spirit of a diver who got drowned while exploring an underwater cave. would you like to greet him?

[❛ ‍𝓐 @JMNBORNE00]

@HDMSTRFRANCINE ﹙ stares at the headmaster, eyes drifting to the twitching ears with a faint smile ﹚

ah, how could i forget? greetings, headmaster! i do hope my little question hasn't caused any offense.

[❛ ‍𝓐 @JMNBORNE00]

@GDBORNE88 is that so? then i guess it's safe to say they just don't like my presence .. i mean, i never see one around. and wait, you're really a cat? do you, like, meow and stuff? nice to meet you too, by the way!

[❛ ‍𝓐 @JMNBORNE00]

@LSYBORNE96 i'd very much like for us to get along. technically, i am still among the youth, but i am afraid my social stamina aligns more with that of an old man on the verge of retirement.

[❛ ‍𝓐 @JMNBORNE00]

@LSYBORNE96 oh ... you think so ？﹙ pauses, eyes flickering with contemplation before the shadow vanishes — masking it carefully ﹚ must be because 'm a darkborne. i hear that quite often, though i do hope it doesn't trouble you much, sir. ﹙ smiles, lighthearted yet unreadable ﹚
