"Guys! Focus!" Damion scolded. "Does anyone even know where he is? Or where he was headed?"

"Last time I saw them was at the docks, I think" Sylver commented.

"Ok..." Damion said more than a little annoyed and stressed. "Let's see. night+docs+very angry with Ailla. Does that spell anything good!" Damion almost yelled that last part.

(We're all going to kill gradient before this is over. *starts popcorn* "anyone else want some?")

"NightdocsveryangrywithAllia... Nope, I don't think that's a word" Sylver said, oblivious to the metaphor. Rhys just facepalmed "Trouble, Sylver, it spells trouble" Rhys corrected her. "No, trouble is t-r-o-u-b-l-e" She corrected him. "Sylver, yOU IDIOT it's a mETAPHOR" Rhys yelled, frustrated.

"Sylver." Damion beckoned his voice low and strained like he was resisting the urge to scream at her with all his might. "What I meant to say. Was. Do you think that those particular circumstances would mean anything good concerning Ailla and gradient?" Damion asked trying to get his point across.

(*munches on popcorn*)

Gradient hissed, landing perfectly on his feet. Oh, come on. He used to fight black belts on a daily basis, he could take this. Jay fearfully noticed that his eyes were still shining that Poison Purple. Jay gulped, before creeping out of the bush.

"Uh... Gradient?" Jay stuttered, paralyzed in fear.

Gradient turned his head robotically, eyes ablaze. His mouth was set to an annoyed neutral look, and Jay regretted saying Gradient's name. "What?" He asked.

Jay ran behind the newly deemed 'William' looking for a shield. "Gradient please... Calm down. You're going Poison Purple again." Jay said, voice softening. Gradient's purple eyes died down a bit, but not enough. "C'mon. Ailla didn't mean to hurt us." He said, although Jay was just as furious as Gradient that his secret was out.

Jay picked up his guitar, his fingers laying lazily on the strings. "Gradient... please." Jay pleaded, as his fingers began to play some random tune without Jay commanding them too. "You're scary when you're at Poison Purple." He murmured.

Gradient regained his posture, his eyes back to normal. And yet, his eyes still glared at everything. "... Jay, the fact that you can affect me is even scarier." He said breezily, revealing a smile. He brushed his strawberry blond hair out of his eyes, and Jay relaxed slightly.

Until Gradient punched him in the gut, that is.

(I don't know whether to torture Jay or Gradietn :( #RealTurmoil)

finnaly! Someone who gets it. [also if gradient and jay were birds what kind would they be?] also torture jay. Damions gonna get gradient killed anyways.*laughs it off while sharpening pitchfork*)

William heard the thus and could vaguely see the sharp movement but he couldn't make much else out. William released a zubat. It was a scawney looking thing probably couldn't beet Aillas feebask. But as soon as it was out it began making tiny little beeps sounds not very loud barely audible but as soon as it was out William surged forwards and pulled the two appart. He turned on gradient. Cold silver eyes piercing. But instead of telling him not to be mean to his friend he said. "No violence in front of my baby sis." He commanded. "If you really need to punch him take it out back."

"William!" Ailla scolded. "What? It's not my business telling him what to do. I'm just saying nothing in front of you." William said defensively. Ailla giggled at this tho it was obvious she wanted to scold. "Uhh...person that gradient punched are you ok?" Ailla asked sweetly making to help him. Now focused on jay and quite certain that gradient wouldn't hurt her. Or Maby she just excepted that he was and didn't care.

"Ooooh, right, yeah, we should hurry before someone is seriously injured" Sylver said. Before waiting on anyone, Sulvet bolted out the door to the docks, Rhys chased after her as soon as she started running "c'mon!" He shouted back at them

Damion ran after them easily catching up.

"Hey!" Rhys shouted angrily as he finally reached the docks, seeing Allia and Gradient. Sylver was nowhere to be seen, Rhys assumed she somehow managed to get lost on her way here.
