Sidney heard a growl tone voice ring in their ear as he rips the hand off their eye, his face going pale soon as his eyes meet layla not because of their annoyed attitude, but because her shadow was a swirling Mists, that had a undefinable color unlike the rest they have seen, which we're normal enough black Shadows. Flinging himself off the chair as it knocks over to the ground, Sidney begin backing himself away from the lady in front of them, immediately and instinctively pulling the knife out of their pocket, pointing in the air as they scream, "get-get-away from me!" They're face and eyes filled with pure Terror.

Simon walked down the streets as he sighed, he wished his life could have gone better. He saw couples holding hands and other people talking to there friends. Simon wished he could have friends but because of his fear he could not. he walked into a to the Aurora Crescent. "So this is a Cafe?" he said to himself.

His stomach grumbled, so he decided to walk into the Cafe. He was very calm but he still sat away from other people. He thought about getting something simple, he noticed the things that were happening.

"H-Hey-" Layla said, backing away. "Okay- uh- chill-" She said, stumbling with words. She had never been good with people. "Y-You had just stormed in here. I could- someone here could have gotten hurt!" She said. "And put the stupid knife down!"

Layla's hand reached for the back pocket of her pants. She clasped the object in her two fingers but didn't pull it out. Not yet. She hadn't wanted to die (again) in this- well- awful place. It was too calm, too peaceful. Not a good way to go down. "We can- uh- we can talk about this..?" She said, but it sounded more like a question.

Illisia watched the man behind the counter carefully as she refined the order she had in her mind, hesitant to speak when it was her turn. His actions were strange, being as tall as she was, she could look over the counter to see his hands shaking ever so subtly. "He knows..." was the only thought in her mind at the moment before a loud sound rung through the cafe after another customer came in and seemingly slammed themselves into the chairs. She took her eyes off of the counter briefly to watch, then slowly returned them to ther original position. "I'd like.... a glazed donut and a uh..." She looked up at the menu once again, her mind going blank after the sudden panic. "A small hot chocolate please..." her voice was quite low and groggy, making her already obvious fatigue even more noticeable. More commotion seemed to be occurring behind her, but she didn't exactly have the energy to care. The day was already off to a rough start, and she didn't want to accidentally get involved by somehow looking at them the wrong way.

"The phrase “it’s just a game” is such a weak mindset. You are ok with what happened, losing, imperfection of a craft. When you stop getting angry after losing, you’ve lost twice. There’s always something to learn, and always room for improvement, never settle."
-Sun Tsu, The Art of Gaming

Simon looked at them and began laughing, he liked to see people fear but he didn't laugh that loud. He thought about what he was going to do after today, " Maybe I'll just get something to drink." He said to himself. He continued to look at them still grinning. " Maybe they will fight.." he said to himself. He has problems in his life that made him act this way. After his death, he went completely crazy.

If someone could read HongJoong's mind, there would simply be frantic expletives on repeat as his shaking hands punched in the order. "S-sure, if that's all then your total is $4.53." He stammered, years and years of working in the customer service his only saving grace from crumbling where he stood. Risking a glance at the chaos unfolding in the back, he paled when he saw the knife and the faint familiar metallic scent of blood introducing itself into the mix. Glancing backwards, he met his co-workers terrified gaze and just like that a decision was made. "Get the woman her hot chocolate." He instructed impressed with his own steady voice as he stuffed a glazed doughnut into a paper bag and passing it over the counter. It was a miracle that his knees didn't give out as he marched out from behind the counter and towards Sidney and Layla.

"Ma'am, I'm going to ask that you step back. All of you, please just give him space." He ordered, commanding voice cutting through the chaos. Falling back into a persona was nothing new but being a leader came naturally to HongJoong. Taking charge in a situation like this was enough to ease his nerves though his has were still wracked with tremors. A side effect of the migraines then, he concluded as he pushed through the gathered crowd of customers. The clacking of tags signaled his arrival as he took a closer look at the man holding a knife. He too was covered in shadows that seemed to never stay still, always moving and never settling. He was also much taller than HongJoong and he had to tilt his head up just to look at Sidney, sending another round of pain scrambling through his head. But there were more important things to take care of and it would be best to de-escalate the situation before it got too out of hand, even if he felt like running away.

"Sir, I don't know what's wrong, but can we please put down the knife first? No one else here is armed and you're perfectly safe. I promise that no one will hurt you but you need to put the knife down first." He soothed, keeping his voice steady and calm and his body language non-threatening. He stopped a few paces away from Sidney with his hands out showing that he indeed was unarmed. In general, HongJoong wasn't a very threatening man in terms of appearance anyways, having been told countless times that he looked like a fairy with his large eyes, soft smile, and short stature. He was betting on those same traits being soft enough for the other to not kill him

"I am stepping back!" Layla barked. She wasn't intimidated by this man here. She scowled again, fixing her stance. She at least stood a few inches taller than him.

Since the sun was fully out and not in hiding anymore and was leaking through the windows, Layla's features came into full effect. She didn't have what others called beauty; she had insanity instead. Underneath her eyes were pronounced eye bags which were hard to notice. Her hair fell a couple inches below her shoulder, and her eyes were stained with pain and guilt, although not showing it on her face.

Simon walked forwards them. He was looking at Sidney, " Ok! Let's calm things down over here!" He said. He had a knife in is coat pocket and grabbed it quietly. " How about you put down the knife." He said in the kindest way possible. Simon had always been good at solving problems like an argument, or a gunfight. He sighed, this was basically a normal day for Simon.

Sidney wasn't able to resist the grateful almost mystical hold that they seem to tame with ease, his face beginning to melt into a pure innocent yet incredibly shameful tone, realizing that they overreacted once more like always, gently bringing the knife to their side. "A-am s-s-sorry...I-I don't k-know what c-came over m-m-me" hand still fiddling with their hair, as they lower their head down to see HongJoong's large eye, but more importantly having a unique shadow just like the lady before, letting out a small twitch in his eyes as a response, but still restrains himself to be calm somehow even when Simon pull their knife on them.

"God, people are so immature with knifes now." She mumbled. "Someone could've gotten hurt." She had noticed the shadows looming over all of them; they were all the same, yet totally different. They were the same in color and in movement. They all moved a hypnotic dance to a song that was unheard of with human ears, or maybe they created their own rhythm. Their own song.

~~"I feel unsafe now." She said, then paused. "I want a knife."~~

"Hey, hey its okay. You were scared and that's okay. You did well, listening to me when you did and I'm proud of you." HongJoong immediately soothed, keeping his eyes on Sidney. There was sounds of movement behind him and his heart rate sped up in instinctual fear but he didn't dare look. "Now, can I get you anything to drink or eat? It must have been terrifying for you." At those words, he cast a stern gaze to the people in the cafe his hard eyes all but commanding them that the show was over and for them to return to whatever they were doing before. His head felt like it would be split open with the amount of pain raging within it but he held it together turning his gaze to Simon.

"Sir, put that away. We don't need to scare anyone anymore." He said firmly, balling his hands up in an effort to mask the tremors. This whole situation was so bizarre and he just wanted to finish his shift. Taking in a deep breath, he gave Sidney a wry smile despite how the every writhing shadows that cloaked the people around him was really unnerving him. "Come now, lets get you something warm. It's on me, I promise."

What about me? I was helpless and innocent! Layla complained in her head and shuffled back into line, shooting a glance at Simon. She stood impatiently in the line, smooshed between two couples. Ew. She wasn't jealous of them. Of course not. That was silly. Instead she just felt bad for them. Stuck in a relationship without being free or choosing your own decisions... This was what drove her crazy. What drove her to plan the shooting to kill her husband. Whatever was his name again? Whatever was her kids' name again? Layla didn't care to recite them. But that was then and this is now. And now was boring, so Layla occupied herself with trying to remember. Was it Micheal? Lukas? Benjamin? Countless names rang through her head, but none of them were right. None of them seemed right.

Her blank gaze followed HongJoong as he went to settle the racket, which surprisingly worked fairly quickly. She stared at the group long enough for it to be rude, but thankfully her order arrived before she or they could interact. She stuffed her hand in her pocket as she turned around to face the counter once again and pulled out almost 5 dollars, all she had at the moment. She set it down and gently nudged it to the other worker and grabbed her drink and donut. She couldn't help but to wonder what the sudden outburst was about, she only caught a few words and apparently it was all about a stupid knife. She let out a sigh as she moved out of the way and began to walk towards the exit. On her way there, her thoughts raced with the image of the strange shadow above the heads of those in the cafe, it was so strange to see after so long. Apparently there were more like her, more who escaped the claws of death and lived a life of indirect murder just to stand here today. Oh god... This couldn't be good... She glanced over at them as she slowly walked by, only to have temptation and curiosity take over her groggy mind and drive her towards them. The fact that Illisia didn't know what was going on was killing her. For now, she decided to simply spectate and wait to ask her questions, she found it rude to just jump in on the conversation without any warning.

Sidney gently puts the knife back into their pockets, as they manner become peaceful and gentle, his face letting a gleeful smile shine through, almost feeling like a different person now. Sidney giving a charm look at HongJoong's with they deliver the smile towards him, rising there hand out of their hair, proceeding to fiddle their Spike Coller instead "I'll um...take whatever you recommend" he tries his best to nonchalantly say, as it was clear this was her first time here let alone know what they have. Seeing that they caused enough trouble for one day Sidney, walk back towards the chair, as they lean down to grab it setting it back in place, this time gracefully placing themselves into the chair, gently scooting themself back on toward the table placeing his chin down, closeing there eyes as he begins humming to himself.

Simon suddenly gets shy because oft he number of people looking at him, he does not want to make any friends because he is cared of what could happen in the future. He rushed back down to his seat and covered his face in fear. " I don't need things to go crazy again..." he said to himself. He just wanted to go back to sleep, but he knew that he couldn't if he tried.

Childishly sticking his tongue out at Layla, HongJoong rolled his eyes. "I wasn't going to charge you on your order either." He assured, taking note of where Sydney sat. A hot chocolate would probably be best and while he was tempted to give the other his signature Americano blend, he had a nagging feeling that it probably wouldn't be best to give him any caffeine. Running a hand through his hair, nails raking through the hairclip infested locks with soft clacks, HongJoong turned back towards his co-worker mouthing for a large hot chocolate. The soft Moombahton style background music was calming enough as the adrenaline slowly seeped out of HongJoong's body.

Slowly turning around to keep an eye on the customers, he caught the eye of the customer from earlier, holding the hot chocolate and doughnut she had ordered. It looked like she wanted to say something and while a part of HongJoong screamed at him to mind his own business for once, he could help but close the distance between them. "Sorry for the poor service. It looks like you got your order though." He apologized, bowing slightly head spinning at the sudden change in elevation. Now that he wasn't hyped up on nerves, it was easy to see how much it had been holding some symptoms back as he had to blink a few times to get his sight to focus while ignoring the stinging pain in his skull. The ocular blot had grown in size too, worryingly so

The girl was slightly shocked that someone in the area would say something to her, especially the one she had initially encountered. She had to remind herself that she put herself in this situation, standing right in the open instead of just walking away. It took Illisia a moment to formulate a response, and another in order to actually say it. "It's... fine, I guess..." She muttered, her eyes gazing off elsewhere past his head. After her response, she slowly let her eyes roam over the rest with the worrisome figures looming over them, only to have her eyes snap back to HongJoong once she remembered the very thing she had stopped for. "I apologize if this is completely random, but uh..." Regret began to creep up her throat in the form of a lump, forcing her to pause and try to calm herself. "Are you supposed to be dead?" The question finally managed to escape her mouth, but she soon saw the flaws in it, such as how vague and creepy it was. "I-I'm sorry, what I meant to ask was, did anything strange happen when you were in a fatal incident?" Eh, the wording still wasn't the best in the question but it would have to do.

To see someone who was so imposing stumble over her words drew an involuntary bubble of laughter from HongJoong but he quickly clamped down on it before it could spill out of his mouth. It was nice, knowing that talking was strangers was terrifying even to people who could probably snap his spine in two. "You're going to have to be more specific than than, honey." He teased, swaying slightly on his feet as he let some of Captain's confidence bleed into his words. "Lots of weird stuff have happened to me so I wouldn't be surprised if I should be dead." Taking a quick look around the Cafe, HongJoong discretely leaned forward, ignoring how it felt like he would tip over the moment he leaned any further. "You can see them too, can't you." He elaborated as his face fell into a more serious look, raising a knowing eyebrow while pinning Illisia with a piercing gaze that seemed to cut through any excuses she would feel inclined to bring up. "And most likely they can too." A sharp jerk his chin in the direct of the mass of writhing formless shadows was all the proof that he had put two and two together. Perhaps he was jumping to conclusions a bit too quickly but over the years he had learned to trust his intuition and here it was screaming that he was onto something.

Meeting someone like him who should have died but didn't while living off darkness and stolen dreams wasn't exactly on his itinerary for the day but it was a bit comforting to know that he wasn't alone. He wondered what these people's shadows would taste like, if he even could eat them. They would probably be delicious, full of vibrant life and blood that didn't belong to them, coating his tongue and sticking to the roof of his mouth as he gorged on a feast of darkness. He was brought out of his euphoria when his swaying body tipped too far to the left, forcing him to catch himself before he ate the floor letting out a sheepish laugh as he did so

Sidney catch rings of a certain conversation nearby, opening his eyes as they jerk thier head on one of his sprawl out arms, beginning to gently tap their fingers on the table wood, as his spike wristband would let out a slight clank every time while doing so. Sidney doesn't know the word subtle if it hit them In the head, as their daze yet intriguing look in his eyes lock toward Lllisia and HongJoong's, shifting between the two periodically while letting out a crooked Smile on his face, not bothering to hide it even a little bit as he let out silent but unsettling laugh to himself. being dead...they would know since they are, shouldn't even be existence here and now but they don't question it, knowing that if they dose he would just become more unstable than they already are, only knowing that their constant never-ending Shadows everywhere and anywhere, without a moment of having a slightest break with them, only beginning to lose their exception of reality slowly yet painfully, not knowing what is real or just another of those, nightmarish Shadows that haunts him.

Opting to take the bus into the city, the ride had been an almost pleasant one. Living on one of the more rural routes, stops were few and far between. There were never many, if any, passengers, either, so Margot pretty much had from every seat to pick from. She settled for the back-most seats. That way, if anyone else did happen to get on board, she wouldn't have to feel their curious gazes burning into the back of her head. A curiosity that knew no better. But perhaps if they could see the things she could, they'd turn a blind eye for once. Besides, who would willingly want to see the darkness of everyone around them, including loved ones? Would they believe her if she'd told them she had already died once?

"Hmm... a zombie doll..?" Margot chuckles to herself as she takes out a small rhinestone covered diary and pen from her purse, not minding the heads turning her way, "Let me make a note of that for next Halloween's shoot..."

The bus jolts forward as it comes to its final stop in the city, the sudden motion almost sending Margot into the back of the seat before her, also causing her to drop her pen. She pouts, watching as it rolls away from her down the aisle to the other side of the bus. She followed behind the other passengers as they made their way off of the bus, her eyes glued to the floor in an attempt to catch a glimpse of her pen. A hand of an older gentleman appears before her, holding said pen out to her.

"Mademoiselle Bellamy! I thought I recognised that face. Your pen?"

"Ah, merci beaucoup!" she thanks, taking back the item.

"May I ask why you're out in the city today, it's not often you leave the estate."

"I figured a change of scenery would do me some good, perhaps do some shopping and try out a new café."

"If you're wanting a recommendation, there's this little coffee shop that I think you'd like. I believe it's called the Aurora Crescent, or something along those lines."

Directions were exchanged, followed by wishing each other a good day before the two parted and Margot was left to navigate the city streets. Where there were people, darkness followed. It was unavoidable: she needed it if she wanted to survive. Being in the modelling industry gave her easy access to just that, people. Draining the energy from those willing to get close to share her image around. Her followers so captivated by her innocent front that they don't think twice about the disappearances of the photographers who had worked with her. A toxic and manipulative industry. More like an all you can eat buffet.

Margot steps into the coffee shop, deciding that getting a bite to eat now would be much less hassle whilst she didn't have to carry around bags of shopping with her.
