BIO: Hello! You can call me Yuya. I'm from Sendai, Japan. This is my second year in Daybreak Academy. I'm a Tamer, and Odd-Eyes is my familiar. He's the big red dragon that hangs out in the courtyards. He's friendly but he tries to steal food sometimes. I speak Japanese and English but not very good French. I'm also in the theater club.

[Kuroko is the first one to respond to Kano's presence once Yuya opens the door, creeping closer with wide eyes and whiskers alert.

Yuya looks around, then down.] A cat...? Hi there.

[yokeye]

[Toki turns from his desk to see what Yuya's talking about. It's another black cat. He frowns.]

There's... there's two of them, right?

[It's not a clone of Kuroko, but they look a lot alike.]

[suddenlybees]

Myah~

[ The meow is different than Kuroko's, playful and drawn out, though Nekano steps in bypass the other cat and make himself at home. Between Yuya and Toki... he trusts Yuya a little more not to make a grab for him, so it's Yuya's legs that get car fur all over them as he bumps the paper against them. ]

[hippocarnival]

It was a cat outside. [Yuya watches it walk around before slowly crouching and moving very carefully to retrieve the paper without scaring it.] Hey, hey there. Kiiitty...

[yokeye]

[Toki's not worried about scaring the strange cat. He sits on the floor and waves at it.]

Hello cat~! This is Kuroko!

[He points to Kuroko, who is looking at Nekano curiously from over by the door.]

[suddenlybees]

[ Nekano starts purring immediately when spoken to, though he ducks out of the way as soon as Yuya's retrieved the paper from his collar, and proceeds to hop over onto Toki's desk so he can snoop around while the two boys do their thing. There was a wallet somewhere here before... ]

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya unfolds the paper and furrows his brow.] Eh... you got trash stuck in your collar?

[It just looks like scribbles.]

[suddenlybees]

Mrr...

[ Nekano gives a little growl from where he's standing on top of Toki's desk, trying to paw one of the drawers open. He needs smarter friends... But this is fine too. They all have to start somewhere, so he'll start training them now. ]

[yokeye]

[Nekano will find the wallet in that drawer if he can get it open. Toki, however, pays no mind to the paper Yuya has. If he'd seen it, he may have something to say, but he hasn't and probably won't. Instead, he wanders over to the desk to pet the new cat.]

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya turns the paper in multiple directions, before crumpling it up and tossing it to the trashcan.

He misses and it bounces off the rim to the floor instead. He picks up Kuroko when her tail starts swishing.] They look well fed, right? It must be someone's pet... is there a name on the collar?

[suddenlybees]

[ He can't get the drawer open, which is just as well because if he did, he'd be tempted to shut himself inside to escape Toki's reaching hands. Kuroko has way more patience than he ever has with other people, ducking out of the way when Toki approaches and threads himself between Yuya's legs to avoid him too, before finally setting down underneath one of the beds. He lets his head poke out, and also his paws for easy swiping. The collar doesn't seem to have a tag on it... It also doesn't look like a plain collar, there's some sort of metal contraption on the front, no name to be found. ]

[yokeye]

[Toki's not surprised at Nekano's reaction. Kuroko didn't like him much to start with either. He doesn't make a second attempt to touch the cat and will let Yuya deal with it.]

I didn't get a good look at the collar!

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya sets Kuroko up on his bed before creeping close to try and look at the collar himself.]

No name...? I wonder where he came from.

[yokeye]

[Toki has one theory. He opens the door and shouts down the hallway at the guards.]

Do any of you have a black cat!?

[The response is along the lines of "that's your cat, you idiot". Toki slams the door shut.]

It's not theirs!

[suddenlybees]

[ cries about his friends being so stupid

He misses his chance to escape out the door when Toki opens it, but he can't give up on them while in the same breath hoping they don't give up on him— or more specifically, "it." He trots out from underneath the bed and bounds over to the trashcan, batting at the crumpled up piece of paper. ]

[hippocarnival]

[Kuroko hops down, making her way to Kano and the paper curiously. She probably thinks that looks like a fun toy, too.

Yuya rubs the back of his neck.] Well... let's wait a bit and see if anyone asks around for one. It'll be okay here.

[yokeye]

Okay! Maybe we can send out a message on the network later!

[Toki grabs a couple of catnip mice from his desk and tosses them at Kuroko and Nekano. That should keep them occupied.]

Anyway! I have things to do~!

[He gathers some headphones and a notebook, then climbs up into his loft. He's not going to listen to music, but he has to look like he's doing something besides drawing eyes on the wall and the ceiling.]

[suddenlybees]

[ Nekano picks up the wad of paper in his mouth before it can get torn up by Kuroko, and leaps up onto the top bunk with Toki instead of playing with the mice. Codes can wait for a bit; he's curious about what these "things to do" are, what Toki writes in his notebook if not jotting something down seconds after convulsing, and whether his taste in music is any good. ]

[hippocarnival]

[Aw... Yuya smiles.] Looks like you've made a friend now.

[Toki's not usually so good with animals. Yuya grabs one of the mice to distract Kuroko with it, dancing it in the air for her.]

[yokeye]

Hello~!

[Toki avoids petting the cat this time, but lets Nekano hang out. He leaves the headphones and notebook to one side, opting to draw on the wall instead. He starts to make an outline of an eye, but the pen ends up making a sharp and jagged line down the wall instead as he gets a vision...

He's in Valvatorez's office, alone. Slowly walking by the bookshelves. The title of every book he passes, no matter the thickness or age, is "History of Vampires". As he passes the fish tank, all the sardines change color rapidly, like blinking neon signs.He sits at the desk and opens a drawer. Inside is a picture frame, but no image in it. Setting it on the desk, he opens a second drawer. It's full of locks of pink hair, twisted around fish-shaped hair combs. He closes the drawer and the picture frame on the desk now has something inside. A painting, small and detailed. It's Valvatorez sitting in a high-backed red velvet chair, like he's posing for a portrait. In one hand, he holds a green mask shaped like a moth, only its markings are fish eyes. In the crook of his other arm, Valvatorez holds several cat-sized sardines. They all have the hilts of daggers coming out of their mouths. Their eyes blink in neon colors like the sardines across the room in the tank. The painting of Valvatorez laughs and blood drips down from the edges of the frame.

... Kano now gets to see where some of the scratching marks on the bed rail and the wall come from; there's not a lot of space up here for uncontrolled rapid movements.]

[suddenlybees]

[ Nekano starts yowling as soon as Toki jerks, hissing and spitting to get Yuya's attention because he'd be much better equipped to handle this than him, a stupid cat who thinks keeping his disguise is worth more than helping a friend out. This is what service animals are trained to do, anyways... get somebody's attention the moment a seizure happens. Yuya, help. ]

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya looks up, waiting and watching for a moment beforehe drops the mouse and makes his way to Toki's bed.

He reaches for his arm to hold it down, lest he try and claw his eye out again and otherwise just waits it out.]

[yokeye]

[When the vision ends, Toki dismisses it as being unimportant. Yuya worries too much.]

I'm fine! It was about Valvatorez and not the eyes! It wasn't even scary, just weird! I'm not going to... not again, I promise.

[If Yuya ever ventured up into the loft, he certainly wouldn't believe that.]

[suddenlybees]

[ Not what again... Nekano growls under his breath and lightly pats the side of of Toki's face with a paw. Stupid, stupid. He's going to figure out a way to fix this; he's already got two plans to put into motion. ]

[hippocarnival]

... Okay. [There's still a little worry in Yuya's in his expression as he smiles, squeezing gently in affirmation before he pulls his hand away.]

Did you hear from Professor Jailbreak?
