( until then, Philip taps at the glass to say a small hello at the cats, and while one of them ran away, the other blinks at him curiously. He then turns to walk away with a satisfied smile knowing that he at least completed his search for now. )

the nightmares have existed for centuries after all, and even now, faintly, nox can feel the unsettling gaze of something new that is coated in an odd familiarity.

daydreams . . .

maybe philip's research will come in handy one distant day. ]

by different names... all the same demonic creatures with different abilities who feed off torment.

despite frustration towards Odaka who thought little of him being a child, if anyone could do something with this contribution it would be the one that warned him about it all. )

[𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐏 @WBXCYCL0NE]

( his way of contributing to the entire situation was the research copied into that notebook. with the vast knowledge he had, all tucked away in the gaia library, he pulled up notes on dreams, nightmares, and daydreams. now, nightmare monsters dated back centuries... all called

[ nox wouldn't judge pettiness in this hypothetical scenario. they'd certainly be irritated, but it would merely be what it is.

he'd never admit that the letter would, probably, make him chuckle a little. such a drawing reminds him of the past, after all.

. . the cats continue

[𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐏 @WBXCYCL0NE]

a small notebook nestled inside, with a letter slid between the cover and the first page.

it's nothing personal, nor even an apology, but the letter explains the contents of the basket with a doodle of an explosion if someone were to break open a capsem---philip's humor? )

[𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐏 @WBXCYCL0NE]

( philip would likely do the same. even if Nox wanted Shotaro's help he would be tempted to refuse because ...

well nevermind. with a small huff, he sets down a small basket at the front door. Philip, of course, kept one or two capsems for himself back home.

[— 𝙊𝘿𝘼𝙆𝘼 𝙆𝙀𝙉𝙎𝙀𝙄 。 @ABYSSALILLUSION]

[ well, somebody / is / home, but it seems like nox is certainly avoiding the door for some odd reason. likely the notion that his . . last encounter with philip was less than pleasant for both of them. ]

[𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐏 @WBXCYCL0NE]

[ the cats are cute. philip surely didn't expect for someone with an irritable personality like Nox to house cute little cats like this... though... Philip is visibly frustrated that no one is home. ]

[— 𝙊𝘿𝘼𝙆𝘼 𝙆𝙀𝙉𝙎𝙀𝙄 。 @ABYSSALILLUSION]

[ he should have expected such obsessive research to lead philip here . . .

he's certainly getting stared at by the cats in the window. ]

[𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐏 @WBXCYCL0NE]

[ capsem delivery! welll.. he's been doing a lot of (obsessive) research and the people who disappeared were found now... ]

[— 𝙊𝘿𝘼𝙆𝘼 𝙆𝙀𝙉𝙎𝙀𝙄 。 @ABYSSALILLUSION]

( ? )

[ nox doesn't trust strange knocks on his door that he doesn't recognise as his friends signature patterns.

what does he want? ]

[𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐏 @WBXCYCL0NE]

it's rare seeing animals like you in fuuto.

you must be lost, huh? we'll you're in luck since most people come to us to find lost things or people-

[~ 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐿𝑜𝓈𝓉 𝒫𝑜𝑒𝓉 ~ @Lucky_Ch4rm__]

[Squeaking loudly with each munch]

[𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐏 @WBXCYCL0NE]

here it is!

[ setting the animal down on the table and feeding it some blueberries ]

[~ 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐿𝑜𝓈𝓉 𝒫𝑜𝑒𝓉 ~ @Lucky_Ch4rm__]

[Leaning forward, trying to sniff for the berries.]

[𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐏 @WBXCYCL0NE]

( he's already opening their small fridge with one hand and looking for the fruit... )

you can't have too many though. it's only a treat.

[~ 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐿𝑜𝓈𝓉 𝒫𝑜𝑒𝓉 ~ @Lucky_Ch4rm__]

[Perking up at Blueberries, tail wagging even faster.]

[𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐏 @WBXCYCL0NE]

someone is knocking on @ABYSSALILLUSION's door, and it isn't Shoma...

[𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐏 @WBXCYCL0NE]

I've read about creatures like you!

But it's even smaller in person!

[ picking it up into his arms and giving pets. ]

you'll enjoy blueberries...!

[~ 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐿𝑜𝓈𝓉 𝒫𝑜𝑒𝓉 ~ @Lucky_Ch4rm__]

[Immediately scurrying and flopping on the ground near his feet, tail wagging happily ]

[𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐏 @WBXCYCL0NE]

! ! Cute!

[ rushing over. ]

want to stay here for a little while? it's hot outside, so feel free.

[ shotaro might not like this idea. but it could be lost.]

[~ 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐿𝑜𝓈𝓉 𝒫𝑜𝑒𝓉 ~ @Lucky_Ch4rm__]

[Climbing in the window ]

[𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐏 @WBXCYCL0NE]

?

A canine?

[Peeking through a window..]

[𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐏 @WBXCYCL0NE]

it will increase the cleaning efficiency?

Baking soda is really useful...

[𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐏 @WBXCYCL0NE]

awesome!

( he is trying to peek into the bags. did shotaro buy anything good this time? )

I was researching the different types of laundry detergent and the effectiveness of fragrance boosters or fabric softener. Did you know if you add a half cup of baking soda to the drum,

[— 𝐅𝐔𝐔𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐈 .ᐟ 🇵🇸 @TANTEIWINDS]

Relax. I made sure not to forget it this time… unlike the last few times, that is.

[𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐏 @WBXCYCL0NE]

what can I say?

speaking of groceries, there is about a 75% chance you forgot to pick up more laundry detergent again...

[— 𝐅𝐔𝐔𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐈 .ᐟ 🇵🇸 @TANTEIWINDS]

Wow, you sure do love to keep track of the time, huh? In case you were wondering, I’ve been out paying the bills and doing groceries.

[𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐏 @WBXCYCL0NE]

i've just wondered where you've been for the past 5 hours and 27 minutes.

[— 𝐅𝐔𝐔𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐈 .ᐟ 🇵🇸 @TANTEIWINDS]

Oi, Philip. Something wrong?
