*She slams the door shut on the cellar door, locking in, then just... screaming. Crying out into the room, feeling like a total piece of garbage for how stupid she acted. It is her fault in the end that almost everybody got hurt, even if almost everyone is safe*
AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!
*As the groups approach the hallways.. a muttering tone gets closer before: A familiar mutt is looking around in confusion.*
"..Who's going around leaving all these flyers pretending to be me?"
*Their eyes lock on to the group and they begin to open their mouth.*
"Hey, is th—"
*There's two shadows in the direction of the voices.*
"I meaN, COME ON! JUSTICE!? RIGHT AND WRONG!? 'REDEMPTION'!? FROM ONE CONVERSATION NO LESS! I DIDN'T EVEN SWING BACK DUMBAASSES!!!"
"PAWD!! IT WAS ALL WORTH THAT BAD ACTING JUST TO GET INTO YOUR SCHOOL! ENJOY THE LOCKDOWN!!"
*Ashleigh would, weirdly enough, be one of the first to head in, looking around cautiously to make sure she wasn't noticed right away as she got in*
This better be worth it, it's bad enough being nervous in the forest...
Over the course of a day or maybe a few more, posters began to appear. From the brick walls of kemonotown to the depths of the woods, they were pinned to anything and everything.
The back of it listed two things: a date that was soon and the address of hachiko high.
[Temp Pinned]
Muse details: Age 20, set place a while after communal day.
Olly works as a local ambassador of kemonotown (A decent bit of town control due to the low staff)
They/Them pronouns
Travels a lot, gets equally homesick as much.
Very obviously a bit of an AU take.
[He's slowly feels like his grasp on reality is slowly fading]
"Ngh... We'll met again someday, Coco vessel..."
[With the little bit of clarity he had left, he turned into that glowing mass again and disappeared]
[He coughs before turning himself into a glowing pink mass and phasing back]
JW: "The HELL was that?-"
[He pulls his paw up, but his vision is slowly blurring up, trying to keep their paw up aiming it at Ashleigh]
"It's all on the paws..."
[He says, slowly pulling a dagger out of his bag, aiming it at Ashleigh]
"Here's one trick you won't forget..."
[The dagger glows before morphing into a flintlock, he fires but narrowly misses thanks to being attacked by one of the zombies in the area]
[He tries to dodge but fails and gets hit in the shoulder, it still pains and staggers him, but a symbol appears on where the bullet hit, making it bounce off]
JW: "ARGH- Next time aim higher..."
[The symbol disappears before a sharp pain appears on Ashleight's shoulder]
JW: "Well I might have been wrong..."
[He said before snapping his fingers, turning into a pink glowing mass before disappearing]
"... Peekaboo"
[Somehow he was now behind her, landing a kick on her back]
"Not bad for a Coco..."
[They quickly backed up after she casts the spell, staring at her as the only sound present was the wind]
"... That's all? I guess I overestimated you-"
[Suddenly it dawns on them as the forest stops being all that... Quiet]
*Ashleigh's used her wand to push the blast away, sending it past J's head*
Spice...? No, you could say I just learned.
*She gets ready to cast a spell*
Paparazzi Murder Party! ...
*But seemingly nothing happens, her smirk still on*
"Oh? This one got some spice on em?"
[He smirks before pulling his paw up, aiming at the center of mass]
"Piercer."
[A fast but small magic blast came out of his paw, rapidly approaching Ashleigh]
Oh, I'm sorry, would you like to repeat that? I don't think I caught that...
*She surrounded herself with magic, getting ready to actually fight this J, hot damn!*
Got something you wanna say about Coco Vessels... pardner?
*She said that last part in a mocking accent*
"How can you say that about me? I just came here and you are already making assumptions... I just want to know this place a little more..."
[He starts to "tear up" at the rude comment]
"Tsk... As if a Coco vessel can even do something to me"
[He whispered that last one part]
I've heard this story before. Socially tendencies aside, just admit that you're here for malicious reasons and maybe... just maybe, I won't kick your face in, hmm?
"Suspicious? I don't-"
[He catches himself before finishing that sentence]
"... Very well for a Coco vessel, but oh well, I'm just trying to be nice, you know? I'm just a bit socially inadept and don't know how to talk to people..."
Sure, sure... I guess I'll believe that. But it still doesn't excuse one little thing... you act all suspicious like that, it's weird.
*She gets a smirk on her face*
Your next line will be: "Suspicious, I don't know what you're talking about..."
"Oh... I mean isn't she a dog if she is a Patches vessel? I'm just stating the facts here you silly!"
[He does seem to be trying to be less hostile but... Something does sound wrong]
"That dog"? You mean the other you? Actually, why DID you refer to her like that. I mean, sorry if I seem a bit picky at your tone, but you should be at least a bit more surprised about all this...
"That... Does make sense"
"... So... Tell me a bit more about this place... And about that dog that has my name"
[The way they referred to the other J felt a bit wrong]
