welcome to Eldritch Academy
In a world of myths and mysteries, the pinnacle of the magical academies exists. Eldritch Academy offers education to all ages and species but specializes in the study and training of one's innate mystical capabilities, often called Eldritch Energies, Powers, or Unknowns, but more formally known as their Talent. However, tensions run high with the nations only holding a fragile peace as the Talents that rival the epitomes of technology change the balance of power.
With the more recent uprising of evil Shades and introduction of combat-oriented programs into Talent-focused schools, nations grow more aggressive towards one another. The demand for resources grows, and skirmishes at the border of Arka and Mistere become more frequent. Monsters run into the nations from the Wildes, terrorizing villages and cities. The need for trained or in-training Hunters and Guardians has never been more urgent.

It was strange what a direct answer did in the situation. While it was true the Nightmare was still curious and perhaps in a better mood he might’ve dug further into the matter; however, this round the Nightmare would simply hum softly and nod. “Fair enough,” he would say in such a calm way that it made one wonder if it was really that easily to get the guy to leave things alone. Perhaps. Then again perhaps not. While the Nightmare didn’t push anything now it was no telling when he might come back to research this fascinating topic. On top of that, he didn’t seem to mind the other didn’t answer the question about catches to using such a talent. Sure he made note of it, but he didn’t make any comment on the matter as he trailed along watching the shadows of the ground for a short period of time.
He would remain quiet, his thoughts a mystery except to himself. He would only look up when the other snorted and gave him a response to one of the options. He took note of the doofy grin too, but it was only met by an unreadable expression as the Nightmare simply raised his brow slightly at the other.
“I do not find what is so amusing about my wording, but it matters not,” he would begin before blinking and looking ahead a bit. “If you don’t want me in your head perhaps we can do something else to help you release the emotion. Anything you favor or makes you happy?” Could he go in his head without permission? Yes. He could find a way if desperate enough; however, he wasn’t desperate and despite his attitude and presence, he was genuinely trying to help the other with whatever issues he was struggling with. The fact he wasn't treating this as some sort of research project or something else was proof enough he was serious about the matter in a different way than he normally would have been.

As they passed through the gates of the school a certain shadowy figure would become alert. Antonio had been waiting for Ozaki to come out, sitting beneath a tree whose shadows he had manipulated to provide stable cover for him.
He had not gone into the school because he had not been invited in. That was the excuse Antonio had been using for the past couple of weeks. It was a paper thin lie that veiled the simple truth that Antonio had wanted to give Ozaki what space he could. He had asked to be one of the people to look out for Ozaki and make sure he didn’t do anything stupid.
Surely his workplace was safe enough to give him that space… But the way Ozaki walked out of the building was concerning. As someone who regularly dealt with drugs and had sold them for a time, he didn’t need any context beyond a mere glance to tell that Ozaki was high as a kite right now. Mordred would potentially not approve and react terribly to such news… Which was why he wasn’t going to hear about it. Antonio’s job was to protect Ozaki.
But he wasn’t going to add controlling the boy’s life to his job description. He waited until they got a decent distance away then opened his own umbrella to follow behind. As far as spies went Antonio was being a deliberately lousy on in not going close enough to actually hear the conversation. Granted if he did that Ozaki’s new friend might notice him… But that was less the point for Antonio right now.

Reallly? Even after he was laughing like that? Ah well. Ozaki wasn’t going to explain it to him.
“Eeeeeh. I’m just gonna go home.” Ozaki drawled. “There’s plenta of things I like. But now I’d like a good nap thaz not gonna be plagued by nightmares or murder fan-fan… Fantasizes about murderlating bigot asshole fathers. Oh wait… Aaah… Pretend I didn’t say that.” He’d been trying to keep a lid on that, hadn’t he? Yah.

It was amazing sometimes the things that went right over the Nightmare’s head. While the other might’ve found the wording comical, the Nightmare did not connect the dots and it appeared the other wasn’t going to explain it either. Expected considering he wasn’t really interested in such an explanation now anyway and had it made that fact known with his earlier words.
In any case, the Nightmare wasn’t going to make a fuss about it besides he had something much more juicer pressing his interest now. It would seem that whatever Ozaki was on finally caused the little mouse to slip up in the most delightful way. And how cute. Pretend he hadn’t heard anything? Tsk. Tsk. Now what fun would that be and besides...That was hardly either side's style anyway. “Murdering bigot asshole fathers?” the Nightmare would repeat his tone highly interested and amused at such a slip up. “Tell us why do you have such afantasy? Who is this father you speak of, Yuuki?”
Well now, the Nightmare was hooked now though whether that was good or not was yet to be seen. After all it could lead to another overflow of negativity and danger. And what of the shadow that followed them? Being focused on Ozaki could prove problematic if said shadow was hostile and got too close no?

Yuuki was silent for a hot minute before answering. “I am way too high to be talking right now. I’m just gonna… Shut up before I say anything else.” That was like, way big to tell someone. And he’d only done it because he was high. Which meant he should really really not say anything else.

Antonio meanwhile was not closing the distance between them, just keeping at a pretty consistent thirty feet. Though he suspected that Rika might have spotted him. Question now was should he go to more sneaky tactics? That was harder to do in the daylight though, and there weren’t an over abundant amount of places to hide on this street. He’d look more suspicious if he started doing that.
If the other one had noticed him it might be wise to simply walk up and introduce himself. But Ozaki’s reaction to that would likely be unfavorable, so it wouldn’t go smoothly. He’d just keep an eye from a distance for now.

Have you watched a balloon slowly deflate? Because that is pretty much what the Nightmare did when he got his response. The excitement would die from his eye and his body would physically slump as his eyes gave off a cool glare. “You know, Yuuki I don’t like it when people run…especially after dropping something like that,” he would begin in calm tones before blinking slowly and looking away to scan the area. As he did so, he noticed another in the area with an umbrella. Oh? What was this? He would continue to watch the guy who seemed to be following them, stopping in his tracks he would speak to Ozaki. “Yuuki, is this man a friend of yours?” he would ask his mind temporarily focused on this new thing versus his agitation with the other. Even so his behavior remained icy and the uncomfortable air from before lingered around as usual. Still he was attacking no one yet, just being curious and cautious is all.

But Ozaki wasn’t running. He was walking. He cracked up at his own joke. Then Rika asked who his shadow was. “Ignore him. He’s no one important to me, any more at least.” He deliberately said this loud enough for Antonio to hear, only turning his head slightly so that the sound would definitely reach him.
Much to Ozaki’s surprise the gangster actually did seem to hear that… And his response was to erupt into his shadowy cloak and take off into the sky in a different direction. Why? Ozaki had no damn idea. But he was glad Antonio left.

The Nightmare would hear the other laughing and frown not quite sure what he was cracking up about. Was he that strung out on what he used that he laughed at random too? He had to wonder, but he would push that aside as he was distracted by the shadow that was following them….That was until he asked the other about said shadow that is.
As the shadow took off at the sound of the other’s voice, the Nightmare would watch tilting his head one way and then the other as he tried to understand the situation that only brought up more questions and a headache. Did he want to know what the hell was going on? Yes, but at the same time he was getting to the point where he was becoming tired to the point where he was getting irritable about little things, including questions that typically kept him occupied for hours. He was having enough of the day...
Even so he’d keep his cool as he looked back at the other and shook his head. “Yuuki, I want to poke you about so many things, but right now I have just one question,” he would say as his eyes now gold once more met the other’s. He would give a tired grin before speaking again. “Are we at your place yet?”
Peculiar? Maybe, but the Nightmare was getting to the end of his fuse with both curiosity and his own personal issue at the moment. All he wanted was to get the guy to safety and then try to at least make back to the dorms before crashing. It seemed his other side had a bit too much fun today….

Ozaki poked Rika in response to him saying that he wanted to poke him about things. “Poke.” He’d say in a chirp. “And yah actually.” They were standing right in front of the apartment complex. A card swipe was all it took to open the door to the big building.

He let the poke happen as he blinked a bit in response for a second confused, but then he'd let out a soft snort. "Yeah...poke," he would say somewhat amused that the other had done the literal thing. Even so, he wouldn't poke back as he nodded at the words. "Oh good. Now to get you to that door," he would say with a sleepy smile. Well one had to give the guy credit for wanting to see the job through no matter what. Either way, when Ozaki opened the gate, the Nightmare would continue to follow until they got to his apartment door.

Ozaki got them all the way to his door before starting to pass his pockets. “Aaaah maaaan. I forgot my keys back at the school.” He waited a moment to let that sink in before pulling out his key ring from an inner pocket. “Kidding. Hold here a second. Imma get you something.”
Ozaki slipped into his hole and returned back out with a throwaway-able plastic cup with orange juice in it. “Have an orange juice. I squeezed it last night.”

Really? The Nightmare would give the other a blank look for a moment as he watched the guy pat his pockets looking for keys that he supposedly left back at the academy. Were they really going all the way back there? Would he be able to even do that without being like screw it and going to dorms to rest? Was this guy doing this to loose him? Was—Oh! Oh…a joke.
It took a second for it to register, a delayed tired smile crossing the Nightmare’s lips as he shook his head. “What am I going to do with you?” he would say softly, his tone amused despite being tired. When the other asked him to stay where he was and went inside, the Nightmare did indeed obey blinking at the door. He was kind of tempted to try and open it, but resisted the urge as he instead just memorized the area.
Outside of making sure the guy was safe this was kind of good to know. He didn’t know a lot of people in the school yet so maybe knowing where this guy was he could come for help he needed it…Maybe, but then again maybe not. He had stressed the guy out enough to make him high so there was that to consider. Hrmmm... In any case, his mind would continue to wander as his eyes focused on small details as the slow tick of time brought sleep closer. Thankfully, the other came back jolting him back to reality before he fell asleep in his spot.
Blinking a bit he would look at the orange juice. Once upon a time, a part of him did avoid these things like a plague, but ever since he had changed fruit of all sorts had been a favorite of his even if they did nothing to fill him up or give him energy like his typical food source. He would take the orange juice and take a sip.
He’d hum content. “It’s good. Perhaps we can sit and speak on fruits and what to make out of them one day,” he said before raising the cup a bit with a nod, his tone becoming a more serious and humble. “Thank you. I will leave be for today, Ozaki.” The Nightmare would give a light bow to the other before turning to leave. Well at least having something to drink would keep him awake until he got to the dorms.

"Byeeeee." Ozaki said before shutting the door himself and swaying over to the couch. Quickly enough he conked out on it, in a drugged out sleep with no dreams. Sadly enough this was the best he had slept in weeks given everything that was going on.

Rika would give the other a wave as he left, drinking the orange juice slowly until he finally reached the dorm. His body was exhausted as he opened the door with enough sense to at least lock it back up once inside and throw the cup away. In a daze, he made it into the bedroom, but not so much the bed the Nightmare slumping to the floor and falling asleep leaning against the bed instead. Ah well. At least he didn't have to worry about soreness from sleeping in that odd position. Exit
