Yesterday, Matthew expected himself to wake up and just start screaming because it would have turned out that this whole thing wasn't a dream. But now, He was alright. As waking up in this place was the completely normal thing he did every day.
Maybe the house had this Familiar Feeling but that didn't mean that Matt couldn't get lost. It took him several awkward moments before he managed to find the stairs. He tried to walk as silently as possible, afraid of waking up the Household. Well, Somebody made a coffee so one or all of Monsters have to be awake... He still feels uncomfortable calling them Monsters. He will have to look for another label.

The decision is made when he hears someone - Matthew? - coming down the stairs. If they come straight in, there's not enough time to retreat to the living room. So, doing his best to appear uninterested in everything but the pages of scribbled notes and sketches in front him, he picks back up his pencil to start writing again. Barely a millisecond of thought later, he nudges the pictures under a piece of paper he's not currently using. Ten doesn't want any curious questions about his life just yet, or preferably ever.

Storming out of that Room maybe wasn't the best idea, Now he was suspiciously sneaking around the house owned by Three M- Nope. Not saying that again. He couldn't think more about it as he froze- Ten.
Matthew absentmindedly put hands into pockets of his hoodie, pieces of that device were still there. He decided to take a step and don't just awkwardly stay in the middle of the doorway. "Not to sound uncreative -Which i am, as a matter of fact- but top o' the morning to ya!" He said and just then noticed all the mess of paper and notes "Heh, Why am i not surprised that you are a Writer. Whats the Story about? Ya don't need to answer if you are all for No-Spoilers, i get that."

He said and walked out slowly

Ten doesn't even glance up, doesn't let his eyes flick to the side, doesn't show any enthusiasm in this conversation. "They're notes and ideas, not a book." He says, his voice razor sharp. For a moment, he puts down his pencil and picks up the coffee cup beside him, taking a sip while he stares out the window directly in front of him, across the table.

Greggory unlike Matt remember where the stairs were so he easily found them and walked down
"Morning my egdelords"
He said stretching a bit,forgetting he didn't grab his trench coat
He tried to put his hands in his pockets but failed so he just said "darn" under his breath

"Still a Writer. Notes are just an itsy bitsy Chapter Notes in the Book of Our Life- And that sounded way better in my head. I am not good at being sentimental. I apologize that you had to hear that." Matthew caught the drift, He is not going to push Ten. He certainly doesn't want to see Ten toss something across the room- Or at Matts' head. He reached into the Cupboard cabinet, pulling out a simple white cup. He didn't like it but it will do "Wait, Seriously... I apologize for yesterday. It really wasn't cool to just come here out of nowhere, But in my defense Hyacinth-" He stopped talking when Greg came. Matt saluted him but there wasn't a smile on his face, the whole movement seemed... off. Tense. He went to the sink and poured some tap water into the cup. He would prefer Coffe but he doesn't feel like he has a privilege to drink it- The familiarity of the house disappeared in Tens presence.

Greg looked at Matt confused,he didn't really understand what that look was for.
Greg unlike yesterday,he seemed eager to get out there,he wanted to do his job and he wanted to do it fast
But he also wanted to do it right
Unlike Matt,he didn't really fear ten,he played with his luck,he knew that ten would hesitate to attack him
So he went up close
"Hey there pal,sorry for the rough start,my name is Greggory Gaberiel Crawler,listen I am aware you don't like chit chat,so let me get to the real topic,how do I do my job mate?" He asked
His voice showed some confidence and smug hidden behind it

"Whatever. Hiraeth always takes in strays. I always have to be the one to say no." Ten mutters, taking another long sip, working through a calculation in his head as Greg talks to him. After a moment of silence, he answers. "You don't do your... job. At least, not right now. These things take intelligence and patience that no one else seems to have in this house." He writes the equation and answer down before he can forget, switching the cup to his other hand so he can do so. The handwriting is neat and full of soft curves, very gentle, but he wants to tear it all up like it's the worst thing he's ever made. It just doesn't make any freaking sense, and now there's that burning, familiar anger under his skin. He can't even tell what he's really mad at, the ideas for not fitting together like he wants, the humans for being humans, or himself for being such an idiot. With a calming breath that doesn't really work, he asks in a voice so quiet it can barely be heard: "Do you still have the parts?"

Greg's hearing is quite bad so he barely heard the last part but he did understand the rest "geez sorry mate I was studying in law school,but heck if god forced upon me another chance I was make it right and I wanna do that fast,by anyways I will let you two talk I ma go get my trench coat"
He said walking off,he wasn't really going for the trench coat,he just wanted out
The awkwardness was killing him

Matthew had to stop himself from hissing- Restrain himself from pushing Greg away from Ten. He couldn't decide if it was because he wanted to protect Greg from Ten OR Ten from Greg... In all honesty, probably the letter. Greg proved himself to be unreadable and just yesterday he didn't seem to have a problem with the idea of killing Monsters. That downright terrified Matt, Even though he wouldn't say that out loud. He believed Greg but... No, No. He is thinking all wrong. It shouldn't be this way.
He felt his hand began to shake and he snapped back into the reality- Just at the right moment to catch Tens words. Matt grinned as if several last seconds didn't happen "Let me tell you one thing- I may seem as a useless NPC but i am pretty darn convenient to the plot."
He took the metal pieces out of his pocket and put them on the table, recounting them all to make sure he has a single one. "Now, This is probably awkward but i can expla-Actually, Not. Lets just not talk about why i have them. Things would get emotional again."

(I am not inconsistent I swear,Greg is supposed to be edgy then smug then edgy then smug again)
Greg sat in a corner and tried to find something to distract himself
He wanted to start his doing,Greg even if a hot head he ain't dumb, he is aware that these group is his best shot,if he turns on them he is just drawing himself back
He finds this monster hunter thing as a way to redeem himself from his sins and as a way to purify the world,maybe not his world exactly but this is a world,and purifying it from the damned seems like a quest
Funny how hypocritical he is,he tries to purify the world from sins but is sinning himself on multiple occasions

Ten snatches the bits up, his nimble fingers fitting pieces back together as if he's done this before. He thanks his photographic memory as he sets the reassembled device down on the wood. It's not much, small enough to fit comfortably in someone's hand, with mismatched metals creating the outside. It resembles a cube, with tiny multicolored wires pressed flat against the surface as they dip below the outer shell. He studies it for a few tense seconds, reviewing everything he's written down in that short amount of time. With steady hands despite his motor of a brain, he takes hold of a red wire, using his fingernail to force it away from the surface a little. He yanks, snapping it completely off, then does the same with a yellow one. Taking it in his hands again, he rearranges a few pieces, fitting back in the wires in different places. He stares again for a moment, then picks back up his pencil, erasing a few equations and lines. "Useless." He mutters under his breath, entirely to himself.

Matthew didn't know what Tenebris was doing. There, He could say it (Well.. Think of it) and not be ashamed. Matt had little to no connection to Technology and Mechanics- He was most likely the only person of his generation who didn't liked watching TV or just wasn't interested in engineering.
But there are two things he knows for sure- First, You should never cut a Red Wire. And Ten did just that. Matthew welcomes upcoming 10 years of bad luck with open arms.
Then, There was a second thing- He respected people like Ten. People who could do all of this. People who could remember what to do. No, Respected isn't a right word. He admired them. They could shape the World around them in ways that impact lives for years to come. It was one of highest forms of art.
There were still leftovers of a grin on Matthews' face- Now, More subtle and a natural smile that was there just because- as he carefully watched Ten work, Not daring to say something and possibly disrupt him. He didn't understand the purpose of any move Ten did but that didn't matter.

Ten runs a hand through his hair, letting his anger dull as he works through the problems one by one. Picking up his cup, he pushes his chair back and stands up, heading towards the coffee machine. A few well-practiced movements later, the bitter drink is pouring into his cup as he jumps up to sit on the counter. He glances outside for barely a moment, then takes off his hoodie, throwing it so it lands on the opposite side of the table from where his notes are. The shirt he has under is black - no surprise there - but it has the words 'Jughead Jones wuz here' scrawled across it in a style that is obviously supposed to resemble graffiti. "Matthew, you haven't yet tried to avoid me. Why is that?" Ten says, genuinely curious, but hiding it well. He tugs on the hem of his t-shirt, like a nervous tic, but his eyes are bored.

Felix slowly got up and looked around. Where was he?
Boring, white walls surrounded him, but the rays that fell through the window seemed to color them in morning sunlight. He noticed the chairs that he apparently had been sleeping on, and a... trenchcoat?
The trenchcoat seemed familiar, and slowly he got the feeling that all this might not have been a dream. Did I really... Die?

The blond boy took the trenchcoat and opened the door of the room, leaving the walls behind, but taking his thoughts with him. If he really died, what happened to... him? His crush? Was he also here? Would he arrive later? Or was he maybe lost somewhere out there?
Felix took a deep breath. Whatever was the case, he would go out there and find him.

(good boyfriend felix)
Greg casually waited
he was just caught up in his thoughts
His entertainment was gone
No phone,no internet,no music
and he could bother matt or ten
mostly because he thought the little pastel boy looked adorable with that beast like creature
so he waited

Matthew had to bit to bite the inside of his cheek to keep himself from laughing- He couldn't believe his eyes. He presumed the text on the Tshirt was a reference but he didn't get it. The Funny thing about this scene was... Well, Everything. It wasn't something he expected from Tenebris. The Image he had of Snarky yet Formal Ten was just shattered in front of his eyes.
He looked at Greg with a smile which probably translated to Just look at this Guy, Unbelieveable (In a Good Way, Of course.)
He sat down on the chair, feeling that standing in the middle of the Kitchen for any longer might just be way too awkward. "You didn't give me any reason to avoid you, Simple as Bread. That thing from yesterday? I can't blame you for showing basic Human emotions, i though we already carved that into the stone." For a brief time, he seemed to be lost in thoughts "And Ten, i beg you- Don't call me Matthew. Just Matt. I also don't call you by your full name." His voice somehow managed to somehow mix cheeriness and seriousness into one.

Meanwhile, Greg was trying to hold laugh in
but he couldn't hold it
He let out a loud, uncontrollable laugh
He held his stomach and fell to the floor laughing
"I a- I am sorry,i cant,this is too funny"
he tried to say while breaking in between sentences to laugh

Ten's eyes flash briefly with emotion - a deep form of resentment, maybe? - but his voice is steady as always. "That is because the name 'Tenebris Alhike' is a title that I haven't earned. Or, well, not in this lifetime. Universe. Dimension. Whatever you call Lastina." He pauses between each of those corrected words, as if trying to make sense of it himself, before continuing. "The point is, it makes no sense for it to be used in normal conversation. Besides, Matthew sounds less... friendly." His upper lip curls a bit at that last word, and he stops messing with the edge of his shirt.
