The Underworld discussion

((Ima poof to school soon >.< I'll be off and on)) Daemons bunker was empty, save for a bed and nightstand. He didn't like it at all, and had made sure Adrian was aware. The bed was upturned, the nightstand tippe over, drawers spewed everywhere.

Adrian scowled.

"What do you think you're doing?" he demanded, his voice passive aggressive, "Melanie is going to skin you alive when she sees this."

He sighed.

"I don't know what you were accustomed to on the surface but down here you take what you're given," he said, "We're underground - we're limited."

He sniggered slightly, stirring awake and looking up at him. "I don't do well in small spaces. This is the remnants of my panic attack" he mumbled, almost ashamedly. "I-I don't do well in small spaces alone"

Adrian pursed his lips for a moment before taking out his tablet, quickly finding his way to Daemon's profile. Claustrophobia.

"And here I was thinking you were being bratty," he laughed, "Unfortunately, altering phobias and behaviours is something that not even I can do. I can change a person's body but not them personally. Would a roommate help?"

He chuckled again.

"Phobias are unavoidable down here," he said smoothly, "Melanie is terrified of spiders. Half the population fear her snake."

((Brb class)). Daemon looked around, releasing Adrian and getting to his feet "like who?" He murmured cautiously. "I hate most people" he shrugged

((Okidoki :P))

Adrian looked down at his tablet again.

"Did you have any friends on the surface?" he asked, "Have you ever slept alone?"

He cocked his head.

"I haven't slept alone since I was 10 years old," said Adrian, "But not out of fear."

"I grew up alone. It made me...clingy" daemon muttered. Head down. "Sorry"

"I assure you I've dealt with a lot worse," said Adrian with reassurance, "I too prefer the feeling of a warm body beside me - reminds me that I'm not the only person in the world. You'd be surprised how often I forget that."

He smirked.

"I'll tell you an amusing secret," he said, "Melanie gets night terrors if she sleeps alone."

He rose an eyebrow and smiled "oh really?" He snickered, glancing up at him

"And then she'll wake up," laughed Adrian, "One time, I was with someone and she just ran in, hair sticking to her face like someone had poured water over her."

His face grew serious.

"So don't worry," he said, "Everyone here has their demons."

He nodded quietly, gazing up at him "that's comforting" he whispered, actually reassured. "Thanks again.." He mumbled, turning his bed back over.

"No worries," said Adrian, moving to pick up the nightstand and lamp, "Everyone is a little insane down here, you were chosen for a certain reason after all."

"I was?" He blinked in confusion "what is that?"

"If I told you I'd have to kill you," said Adrian, "I can't go giving away the entry criteria."

He smirked slightly "or you could tell me an turn me off" he teased , sitting on his bed

"Turning you off isn't good you know," he warned with amusement, "Over time, your heart would grow tired of having to start up again."

He put the last drawer back in place and sighed.

"There," he said, "Keep your stuff clean and tidy. Disease is a bitch down here."

"Ah" he mused, plastering on a smile. Adrian wasn't leaving, was he!? Already Daemon's ears rang, the walls suffocating him. He couldn't breathe, his heartrate speeding up. He could hide it as long as Adrian was there but... as soon as he left, he knew he'd panic..

HoNk :0)

((This is always the one that gets lost hahahah)))

"Now then," said Adrian, "Your tablet has an automatic alarm for 6am - yes we do get up that early. There isn't enough hours to be wasting time sleeping. Curfew is 9pm and you must be in here by then. You're Brother now, so I'll be flexible on that front, but in general..."


He rolled his head. He wouldn't sleep for hours, far too much to do, but he could at least keep his cohorts on top form if the same could not be said for himself. He was tired though.

"Now if you'll excuse me," he said, "I need to go and find a teddy bear for tonight - don't worry about-"

He arched his brow.

"Your lungs have stopped," he said, "Are you experiencing malfunction?"

His eyes widened slightly as Adrian made to leave, panicking already though he was still in the room. Anything to get out of this place. He quickly shook his head, looking away weakly. " sir..let me go w-with you...please.."

Adrian crossed over and flicked him clean in the head.

"I'm not sleeping for another hour," said Adrian, "But you may stay in my room just for tonight whilst you become accustomed to living in a confined area. What an inconvenient phobia for you to have."

At that moment, Mavis the cat sauntered round the corner meowing rather insistently. She hopped up onto Adrian's shoulders.

"Come on then," he told Daemon, "My room is this way."

He yelped, scowling unhappily, but he brightened up when Adrian said he could stay with him, even if it was for one night only. He trotted over to him, eager to please.

((I'll post first :P))

Adrian left Daemon's bunker, the boy in question tagging along behind.

Daemon followed
