In Augustarctos.Feel the shadows? Right, he wanted to master these new tricks, they were the bright side of being something other, though he still thought of himself the same as always. It was going to take a bit to get used to. August picked out the darkest corner of the stairwell and moved in, trying to feel the darkness against his skin.He hated being alone. He felt almost like using that calling trick to get the others back. He tried imagining the shadows as fuzzy creatures hiding with him in the corner and pulling them close to his cold form. How would he know if it worked? These powers were funny things.

In Augustarctos,
August's imagination must have been broken, because he felt like he could really imagine forms to the shadows around them, but that they were cold, liquid... There was an odd feeling on the insides of his lower arms - like a rash? - and he could almost smell roses. Or acetone. It was something between those. What the heck was happening?

In Augustarctos.Was it working? Santi hadn't really explained what it was suppose to do. He'd assumed it was some kinda hiding thing. Like camouflage for hunting. The coldness of his wrongly imagined shadows surprised him, he always thought the dark to be soft like velvet or silk. It meant a lot of poets had got it dead wrong, they'd feel like nongheads now. The smell was strange, he wondered if it came from him or the shadows. It was both pleasing and noxious, all in one like a heavy perfume. He glanced down to check his arms, vampires didn't have allergic reactions did they?

In QuinnslandQuinn followed at Santi's shoulder. Quinn- "So...do we actually know what these Fuzzy Babies look like or are you just hoping we'll know them when we see them?"

In Augustarctos, He could only see a little of his arms without bunching the sleeves of his jacket, but he saw something there... dark lines, one on each wrist, heading straight up the arm and disappearing into the cuff. They almost looked like shadowy motes were coming out of them - the negative image of heat light - and he smelled more clearly and more rose-like the smell was coming from his arms. In Quinnsland, Santi- "We'll call August up when we know the coast is clear."
They saw the crunge that August had alluded to - the wall up here was caked with mildew so badly it had to be in violation of some kind of health ordinances. But the only way to reach the worst of it would be very awkward work with poles or ladders in a narrow space, and the warped wood of the upper stairs didn't seem like it would be a safe surface to work from. They finally reached the bubbled linoleum of the third floor landing.

In Augustarctos, August stared at his wrists in confusion and horror, were they his veins or something? What sort of power was this, smelling like a girl, how was that dark and mysterious? He considered even more trying that call thing out, but Fuzzy babies were at stake! He had to think of the babies. It was hard, what if it was a serious reaction, like because he was vegan? He took his jacket off to take a closer look at the black lines, he would at least know what he was dealing with before he freaked out completely.

In Augustarctos,
The freakout cost him whatever focus was helping the power work and the lines and shadows all evaporated by the time the coat was off. A ball of heat came in the back door, and August was flat-footed. Familiar Fireball- "Whoa, haha. August dude, you came outta nowhere."'

In Augustarctos,"Lawdamimbo!!" August quickly put his jacket back on, dang! He was in a tight spot. Heck! He smiled awkwardly trying to focus on who this troublesome bonfire was. He tugged his beanie down further.“Haha! Have you been drinking mate? It's errr I'm ahh his cousin... Archie. Just visiting, ya know how it is.. Family!” August thought really hard about how much he needed Santi to come back, he didn't need to imagine the lap thing or nothing ' Pleeease Santi, come back down here.' He hoped he was far enough away this time!

In QuinnslandQuinn eyed the floor and its bubbles, marvelling at how much his eyes could pick up now without the familiar weight of glasses on his face. Quinn- "So, is it always this way, Santi? Going behind and picking up the pieces. I mean, how was it with you?"

In Quinnsland, Santi- "I don't think you really want to know. Even the guys las--"
Santi- "That was weak, but it was a call. August needs us."
Santi turned back and gestured for Quinn to follow. In Augustarctos,
The fireball began to resolve into a form that gave August serious mixed feelings. His mind was still reeling. Familiar Fireball- "Cousin? What is he bringin' everyone to town now that we're famous? Tssht, you're August. Just tryin' to mess with me."

In Augustarctos, Brent- "Stop shittin' me, dude. It's silly. Anyway, yeah! I mean... I don't know what happened after you guys got on the party bus that night, but uuugh, I am jealous! I just got sick is all, no fair. Like, mono or something. Something just took a lot out of me, ya know what I mean? Hooo... light headed."

"Shootfire, ya got me! I'm so glad ta see ya, Brent. Ya had us all worried, I could hug ya. Err better not though.. Jealous? Ha! Trust me it was totally dead without ya mate…" "…You're the lucky one." August wished Santi would get back soon and that 'brain magic' wasn't painful. At least Cam could rest more easy once he knew. Brent had made it out somehow.

In Augustarctos,
He could hear Santi and Quinn's footfalls, but he would probably hear them from halfway across the building now. Brent- "Whooooa"
Brent- "Head rush, haha. Better not kiss me dude, or you'll get this shit too. Man, you're just being nice. That shit had to be bangin', yo."
