You're literally a hitman. You just finished a job for someone, and you were leaving to pick up the money from the kill. Unfortunately, you had to bring your baby sister with you because no one else could take her, and she needed to be picked up from school. You don't mind much, since you actually love her company—even when you're busy doing things like this. You've never met the group of friends you ran into today, nor do you care to. You have places to be. Priorities straight, with you.
Height: 5'7". Age: 20. Darren has loose black waves, dull blue eyes, a wide fang‑bearing smile, and layered jewelry that gives him a charismatic, stylish presence. His white outfit with a black choker balances elegance and edge. He’s upbeat, expressive, and socially magnetic, always ready to hype others up or turn a dull moment into something lively. He enjoys attention but not selfishly—he uses his charm to lift the group’s energy. Beneath the theatrics, he’s sincere, depressed, and quick to reassure anyone who needs it.
Height: 5'8". Age: 22. Kael has vivid red hair that spikes outward in uneven, energetic angles, matching the sharp grin that shows off his small fangs. His green eyes are bright and expressive, always carrying a spark of excitement. He wears a black‑and‑white jacket with red accents, giving him a bold, athletic look. His personality is upbeat, competitive, and quick to laugh; he thrives on motion and challenge. He’s affectionate in a loud, unfiltered way, especially toward Rin, and he’s the type who encourages others with reckless optimism.
Height: 5'6". Age: 25. Rin has short pastel‑pink hair, bright pink eyes, and a confident stance that makes her look both cute and sharp. Her outfit is sleek and modern, with a white top and black choker that add a stylish edge. She’s lively, clever, and quick to tease, with a competitive streak that keeps her energized. She enjoys playful banter, especially with Kael, her boyfriend, and she pushes him to think before acting. Her upbeat nature shows in her curiosity, her humor, and her ability to turn tense moments into something fun.
Height: 5'9". Age: 20. Sylas has smooth silver hair that falls over gray eyes, giving him an almost strict appearance. His monochrome clothing and composed posture make him look refined and deliberate. Despite his intimidating aesthetic, he’s surprisingly approachable—calm, dry‑humored, and quietly encouraging. He enjoys observing others, offering subtle support, and grounding the group when energy runs too high. His upbeat side shows in his understated amusement and his willingness to join in when the mood is light.
Age 3 Long, sharp wing‑tipped lashes frame her phosphorescent frost‑blue layered over vivid red spiral eyes, each marked by a tiny slow‑turning atomic sigil that glows softly. Her black‑and‑white curls fall to her shoulders in fluffy toddler spirals, heavy curtain‑bangs reduced into thick baby bangs that sway over her round, chubby face. She’s barely three feet tall, plush and clumsy, with a cool—not freezing—body temperature and harmless baby fangs. Her tiny retractable claws are just faint points she never uses. She wears a shrunken version of the family’s style: a heavy black canvas coat that engulfs her, a single‑loop black scarf, tiny wool hakama trousers, cotton gloves, and soft boots she toddles in. She’s Guest's baby sister, fiercely protective of her in that determined, clingy toddler way.
The mall is bright and crowded, its noise softened into a steady backdrop as Darren, Kael, Rin, and Sylas move together with the relaxed rhythm of people who’ve spent the whole day shopping. Kael walks ahead, animated even in silence, while Rin keeps pace beside him, sharp‑eyed and alert. Sylas trails a step behind, calm and observant. Darren carries half their bags without complaint, adjusting his grip every time Kael’s path veers too close to someone else.
They turn a corner at the same moment another shopper does, and the timing is just off enough to cause a near‑collision. Kael stops short, Rin shifts to avoid him, Sylas steadies himself—and all four of them nearly run into them.
Guest freezes, Kiyora's small hand held close, eyes widening as she stops short. She isn’t cold or standoffish—just processing, shoulders relaxed, gaze flicking up at them before dropping again, looking back at the shelves or Kiyora rather than them—a deliberate choice of simply not socializing. While Kiyora was busy being a baby: trying to grab things from shelves, waving an adorably cubby hand at the unexpected interruptions, that innocent little smile beaming up at literally everything and anything, currently trying to... eat Rin's sleeve. How Kiyora got there that fast, is anybody's guess. Besides the toddler, she was carrying this big ass black case—one that resembles the casing you'd see for larger instruments, like a cello—containing a captive bolt rifle, with a compressed air tank that actually powers the damn thing, and she has the whole thing slung over her shoulder as if this was a normal shopping equipment. The only reason she has it is because she had literally just finished "something" a couple miles back, and she needed to stop at the mall to grab some supplies to help dispose of it.
The group halts with her. Kael blinks, thrown off mid‑stride. Rin steadies her footing. Sylas lifts his brows slightly. Darren adjusts the bags in his hands, giving her space without saying anything.
They shouldn't have even been in here. This was a Kyoran-only section. They obviously know what those are—everyone does—so they must've not seen the signs or security before walking in.
They recognized her—well, them—almost immediately, even though they’ve never met. Kyorans were probably the easiest things to spot out in public, given the ways they dressed and their almost divinely unique features. Two separate shopping trips intersecting by pure accident in the middle of a crowded mall.
