META; The Spirit of Change ((Shifter RP))

Cry makes a face at the man before awkwardly making her way to her room, trying to avoid knocking things over with her gangly arms. Still as a gibbon she curls up on the sheets but made sure a light was still on. She didn't like the idea of being in darkness and a warm light on her face made it easier for her to slip into a slumber. Much more comfortable than in  a tree.

((Let's see, nothing much. Just a bit of character interaction at Maddi's Construction Zone, Zeke and Cry both have found refuge for the night in her tunnels.))

Maddi

After drying her tears, she shook herself out and stood. Now was not the time to be a big baby. She put on a small smile and went back to the reading room where the others still sat. She pushed open the door and entered quietly. Maddi stood in front of the boy, smiling sheepishly and her embarrassment was shown on her face in a light pink blush, "Uhm, I'm sorry you had to see that. The depression has a habit of rearing it's head at the worst times."

Setting herself down on the floor next to the chair, she looked up to him "My real name is Maddi by the way, Maddi Annamarie Burke. Not Potato." she then looked between the other Meta and the floor "What about you? If you're going to be living in my house I think I deserve to know your name."

Ezekiel Jebeddiah Crosse

Ezekiel ignored the face that the Gibbon Ape just shot in his direction. Seeing as it was best to just leave it, and not worsen his first impression upon the young primate- if that was possible.

He instantly shot up as the door creaked open, his previously dreary eyes became more alert as they adjusted on the young Meta who walked in- 'Potato.' Ezekiel sat upright, placing one  hand on  his knee, the other dragging slowly through his messy waves momentarily to wake his senses. The lad's striking blue eyes narrowed upon the female, seeing the slight puffiness in her eyes. Had he really made her cry? Ah, that just shot a bullet through his heart. Despite his asshole appearance, Ezekiel Crosse actually had a large amount of empathy for others; he usually just took said empathy and buried it several thousand feet underground. But today, he just couldn't.

"Dont worry darling. I apologize for laughing. Sometimes I lack.. what's the word- Ah, self-awarenss. I'm truly sorry for distressing you." Ezekiel's tone was soft and concerned, his eyes falling to the floor for a moment or so before lifting up to meet the girl's gaze once again; his icy blue eyes giving no hint at his emotion.

"Pleasure to meet'cha, Maddi. You can call me Ezekiel. My full name is Ezekiel Jebeddiah Crosse." His previous confidece had returned and he bowed his head lightly in a greeting. He outstretched his long arm towards her, seeing if she would shake it or not. But she would have to move forwards a bit to shake his large, rough hand.

Maddi

Maddi nodded in acceptance of his apology, her brown curls bobbing up and down. "Ezekiel... That's an interesting name." She then leaned forward a little bit, shaking his large hand. She felt so much smaller than him, considering that he had to look down at her and his hand practically swallowed hers.

Pulling away quickly she rocked back onto her bottom "So um do you want to something to eat? I can make you a sandwich if you'd like, or if you want to go to sleep I can leave, I mean I'm not leaving just going down the hallway. Unless you want something to eat, then we could go into town or I could cook something- " she broke off and groaned "I'm rambling again aren't I?"

Ezekiel Jebeddiah Crosse

Ezekiel gave a broad smile, seeing as his hand practically swallowed hers whole, he gave her hand a brief shake before returning it to his knee; his palm open and propping his chin within his callusy palm. At her compliment, Zeke gave a slight chuckle. "Hate this godforsaken name, but thank you, Maddi. Your's is very nice, if I do say so myself." The lad's slightly raspy tone stated with a certain genuineness, however his appearance still held it's sharp, sarcastic demeaor to it. It always did, no matter how nice or hospitable he was being. He couldn't help his predatory appearance.

Ezekiel's icy blue eyes widened a touch as she actually offered him something to eat. Now, this common street rat was only offered food if it was one: poisioned, or two: moldy and basically stomach-churning. Was she actually genuine on her offer? He shook his head slowly, his lips twitching upwards in a soft, devilish smile. "No thank you. I've eaten already." He waved her off casually.

"And I'd like some company. Unless you'd like to sleep. You look quite tired, ma'am. But me, Ezekiel Jebbediah Crosse can withstand even the most tiresome of nights." He faked a heroic tone for some comedic relief. He felt like he needed to make her laugh, after making her cry. It was sort of a "give some, take some" emotional thing he had. He didn't do well with hurting people emotionally. Sure, he could break someone's jaw and not blink- but make someone cry, and it impacted the brute.

Maddi

Maddi grinned at his compliment and pulled her legs in to where she was sitting cross legged against the dirt wall "Thanks, but are you sure you don't want any food? I have quite a bit to spare..." Speaking of food, her stomach rumbled quietly, but she dismissed it as Ezekiel began to talk again. She watched him carefully and almost laughed at how much he reminded her of Jack, but the pang in her chest reminded her that he wasn't Jack, her lord brother had abandoned her and wasn't going to come back now.

Once again, the girl was so distracted by her thoughts that she didn't realize that the other Meta was still talking to her "Sleep?" She laughed quietly suppressing a light yawn "Who needs sleep?" When tingles began to form in her feet, she stretched out on the floor, wiggling her toes and looking sideways at him "If I recall correctly, potatoes don't need sleep,"

The young Meta wakes up only after a few minutes of sleep. She can hear the low hum of the pair's voices in a kitchen area.
The Siamang gibbon lumbers from the room and into the kitchen area. She had heard their names earlier. She sits on the table and looks between the two. She looks around the room. It was small but not small enough to cause her anxiety, there was a clear escape route out the door.

"Do you have any... fruit?" She asks Maddi, ignoring Ezekiel for now. She hears their comments about not sleeping. Cry herself preferred to sleep at night rather than during the day, it meant that she would be awake when it was light. But she didn't mind staying up late, as Ezekiel described himself, she herself was a bit of a night-owl.

Aimee-Leigh Fletcher

The day was getting on and surprisingly Aimee was still asleep in her king sized bed - the previous night was a late one out hunting and she didn't get back home until around 4:30 am, but she couldn't stay in bed all day she needed to get up sooner or later. It was now around 10 am and time for her to be getting up or she would sleep all day. From the previous day she had left her alarm on her phone and as predicted it began to buzz causing her to wake from her 5 and a half hours sleep.

Allowing her lids to lift revealing her beautiful hazel eyes, her head was pushed into her pillow as she moans - reaching out her hand she began feeling around on the mahogany cabinet that she had on either side of her bed. Once grabbing the Samsung she gripped it and pulled it towards her. Lifting her head up from the pillow she quickly knocked off the alarm to get rid of the annoying ringing. She allowed her head to drop onto the pillow once again and let out a sigh. Lifting, she rolled out of the bed and was now leaning over and tucking it in at the sides. It was time for her to get ready.

Quickly, Aimee had ran into the bathroom and jumped into a shower - which only took around 20 minutes and she was out. Entering back into her beautifully decorated room she headed straight towards her wardrobe. Opening the large mahogany doors she began to shuffle through her clothes - but it didn't take long for her to pick out a white baggy t-shirt and a pair of light jeans which she immediately put on. Aimee rarely fiddled with her hair as it seemed to go nicely without using straightners and have an all natural look.

It was now 11 am and she was bright eyes and bushy tailed she had showered, brushed her teeth, gotten ready and was now ready to head out into the big world. So wondering downstairs she grabbed her black leather coat that only went up to her waist and a pair of jet black ankle coverse. Putting her phone, money, headphones and keys in her pocket she set off. Walking through a path in her garden that lead off to a road that was surrounded by trees, many seen this place freaky as it was kind of hidden - but she liked it and her shifter identity was more likely to stay hidded. At this time she was heading into the city.

Ezekiel Jebeddiah Crosse

Ezekiel chuckled softly, running his palm over his face to keep himself awake for a bit longer. "No, I dont suppose potato's need much sleep; considering they're inanimate objects. But you're Maddi, an I assume you need sleep, no?" His voice was a bit hoarse, but it would soon be rejuvenated by his sleep yet to come.

"And thank you again for the offer- but I'll have to decline for now." The Meta says with a roll of his shoulders, giving a ghost of a smile. He still felt a bit empathic for making the young lassie cry. He'd have to make it up to her some how. However his attention was averted when the ape-meta entered, asking for fruit. Zeke gave an amused grunt at the irony before crossing his arms over his chest and leaning back in the chair.

What irony?))
