Kai felt uncertain with what Casimir was saying. Although Fred was known not to like loud noises, it wasn't normal for Casimir to have an outburst. Something had to be bothering him more than usual. Kai knelt down next to the window and started to pick up the broken glass. "What's actually wrong with you?" He stated. He knew he was probably being too blunt, but he wanted to know why his friend was distraught. As he gathered the last of the glass, he threw it in the trash-can that was next to the entrance.
-
Juniper came and sat next to caisimer. “Kai is right, this isn’t normal.” They said. Genuinely concerned.
-
Casimir sighed. He slid off the bed and onto the floor, crossing his legs and staring at his hands. He clenched them together to stop them from shaking and looked up at Kai, then at Juniper. ‘It’s tomorrow,’ he mumbled. He got up with a bit of struggle and pulled out his cat calendar from his desk drawer, opening it up and showing them the pages for this month. The picture was a black cat with yellow eyes, like Fred’s. The 21st had been scribbled on and annotated so many times that the date was no longer visible. ‘My ten-year anniversary of being stuck in this place,’ he said, giving a weak smile, which quickly faded. ‘Not that I hate being here. I just hate being here.’ Fred came back and perched himself on the window sill, watching the four. ‘I can’t help but wonder if something - or someone - is going to come along ruin everything to help us celebrate.’ Casimir sighed and closed the calendar.
‘Sorry for the noise. I never liked that chair,’ he mumbled as he put the calendar away, and turned to face them with a forced smile. ‘Anyway, that’s tomorrow me’s problem. No need to worry, my friends, everything is fine.’ -
"Are- are you sure, Casimir?" Eloise asked softly, watching their friend. "We- I mean, we're here for you if you need anything, you know that, right?"
-
Kai nodded, thinking about what Casimir said for a moment. He understood why he was concerned. Deep down, he felt like it effected all of them. He listened to Eloise, and nodded in agreement. "We are here for you, and if you need anything let us know. This place wouldn't be what it is without you." He said with a soft smile.
-
“We’re always here, not like we have anywhere else to go.” Juniper bit their lip, not sure what to say.
-
‘It’s fine, I’ll be fine,’ Casimir said, smile weakening for a moment, before he sat back down on his bed next to Juniper. Fred flew into the room and perched himself on Casimir’s desk. Casimir made a clicking sound with his mouth and held out his arm. Fred flew onto his arm and nipped at his hair.
‘You all seem rather uneasy lately,’ Casimir said in an attempt to direct the attention to someone else. He looked at Kai, then Eloise. ‘Anything else we need to, um, talk about while we’re all gathered here? Tomorrow’s performance is supposed to be a big one.’ -
Eloise froze up a little, their hand starting to shake a little. They didn't want to tell Casimir that they felt something was wrong, that things were happening around they, like- like they felt unbalanced. Like their powers, for example, were acting up. "Uh, no- nope, I- I think I'm good," they replied with an awkward chuckle, crossing their arms over their chest.
-
Kai felt a lump grow in his throat. He knew he should say something, but he didn't know if a conversation in front of the others was the right thing to do. "Erm," Kai started, looking at all of the other performers whom he had created friendships with. "I'm not sure about anyone else, but...." He started, taking a deep breath. Before he could continue, his mind conjured up the image Fred. Unfortunately, this image he had conjured up was vastly different than the actual crow himself.
The image from Kai's mind seemed to morph and merge onto Casimirs floor. Once the 'illusion' was clear, it seemed to be a crow that was identical to Fred. There were several horrifying differences though. This bird seemed to be matted down with dirt and what appeared to be blood. Once the crow opened its beak, two sets of razor sharp teeth could be made out. It's feet seemed to be mangled and disfigured, and one of the wings looked broken. The Fred look-alike made a hissing screech and made an attempt to fly out the window, but it was futile.
"That's what's been happening to me more and more here lately." Kai said, making an attempt to catch the monstrous crow. It fluttered around the room, making jabs at the other performers with its beak. "Only thing is..." He said, finally cornering it in one of the corners of Casimirs room. "I can't make them disappear." Kai stood in front of the crow, making a make-shift prison with his legs and turned back to the performers, while also keeping the crow he had conjured at bay. -
Juniper grimaced at the Fred look a like, since they were never really fond of birds but this was even creepier.
"well that's definitely interesting." Juniper watched Kai corner it, then glanced at the real Fred. "what are we... going to do with that?" they gestured towards the bird then sighed.
"never mind, I've been having.. dreams, really disturbing. they've been stressing me out lately." they looked at Caisimir worriedly. -
‘Oh, good heavens,’ Casimir muttered, quickly moving away from the spot on the floor the crow had been conjured up and flinching away as it tried to jab at him. The real Fred squawked and screeched at the grotesque animal, but didn’t make an attempt to fly away, which was very unlike him. Casimir stared at the lookalike Fred as Kai cornered it and grimaced. ‘I see. Well. That’s a… lot to unpack.’ He held Fred closer to himself, which the bird didn’t seem to like, but allowed.
Casimir stood and approached Kai, standing close next to him and looking over his shoulder to get a good look at the illusion. ‘It’s supposed to disappear once you touch it, is it not? Throw something at it, maybe it’ll stop making those sounds,’ Casimir said, wincing as the thing let out another screech. He grabbed his cane and tried to poke it, which he knew probably wouldn’t help, and addressed Juniper as he did so. ‘Well, Junie, I did warn you about prophetic dreams when I gave you that power. They shouldn’t be disturbing, though… What kind of dreams? Like, the whole bloody murder sitch, or..?’ He faltered and trailed off. He’d been hoping his performers would hear his anxieties and say “oh no poor darling baby no nothing bad will happen don’t even worry about it”, not confirm his suspicions. Probably karma for giving them good, easily muddled powers. -
Eloise listened with wide eyes, surprised and somewhat relieved to hear that they weren't the only ones having strange things happening to them. But they would never say so, not after this. They knew adding more would just stress Casimir out, and they would hate to make things worse. So they kept quiet, watching the creature that looked very similar to Fred as they talked.
-
Kai kept the bird at bay while standing in front of it. He felt bad, but he also felt like Casimir should know the truth. Especially with how serious things had gotten as of late. The bird flapped its wings, trying to fly off. "What is happening to us?" He questioned. He wasn't directly asking anyone, and he wasn't even sure if he wanted the answer if there was one. The question popped out of his mouth before he had time to think about it.
-
Juniper fiddled with their hands, caught off guard by the question. they watched Fred freak out over the bird and then looked at the look a like, completely repulsed,
-
Casimir faltered, watching the bird, then looking at Kai. He stepped away from the two and watched Fred, who nipped at his hair, then flew off his arm and perched himself on the footboard of Casimir’s bed.
‘W-Well, I-‘ Casimir didn’t know how to answer. His thumb absentmindedly traced the top handle of his cane. It was dark wood, in the shape of a bird’s head. The eyes were rubies. ‘I don’t know, Kai,’ he said, feeling dizzy. He sat down on the ground, now at level with the illusion bird. He stared at it. ‘That’s what we’ll find out tomorrow, I suppose. What’s messing with the magic. For now, w-we should all get some rest.’
