Devin looked up as the group re-entered the room, hands idly switching out the gun they held for a different one. The one girl jumped up to the ceiling beams, managing to land on one that wasn't rotting. It made him think of the birds of prey, as well as mark her as one that needed to be watched. But she wasn't doing anything, so he moved on. One guy remained by the door, cleaning knives. Close combat then, and doing nothing of particular interest. The bastard from earlier had went over towards Coal, so let him deal with him then. Then there was the two girls by the children. That required his attention, especially since he hadn't noticed one of them before.
Soki looked up just in time to see the wolf change into a girl. Her eyes widened and she turned to her brother, tugging on his sleeve. "Seecha! Nawo wafo - madogen!" She was bouncing excitedly now, waving an arm in the girl's direction. Paru calmly looked over to the girls. "Rena?" The inquiry was calm as he thought of the possibilities. The wolf didn't seem to be anywhere, unless it was back in the office or hiding behind one of the shelves. "Ree!" "Isato." was softly hissed imediately after. "Madogen!" She firmly insisted, pointing at the changing girl.
Coal watched from the window ledge as everyone moved, noting the one in the rafters and the boy by the office in particular. He offered a nod to the one joining him but said nothing for the time being. He barely caught movement before Soki's chattering drifted over. It didn't take long to realize what that movement was. "So can she do that on command?" came the casual question to the one beside him. A lazy handwave indicated which she he meant, hopefully he would pick up on the rest.

Rin watched everyone from above, watching everyone's movments and what they do. She caught site of the guns vanishing and changing and was curious. She wanted to go see how they did it, but decided to watch them instead.
Alice smiled at the small girl who was not making any sense, and waved at her lightly. Suki on the other hand huffed and sat down, unamused with what the child thought of her entirely, along with about everyone else here.
James herd the strange talk from by the office and brushed it off as a real language. He was now bored of cleaning his knifes, bothered that there really wasn't anything to do. He got up and sat beside Suki quietly, not talking or really looking at them, just gave a simple nod in there direction. Alice and Suki smiled back at him knowing that he probably wouldn't want to talk to them at the moment.
Dante sighed and shook his head at the fact that his group isn't talking to the new group that was here, except Alice. "Yeah she can, I'm shocked Alice got her to change, she doesn't usually trust people enough to stay in her human form long. He smiled and looked in her direction. "What is the little girl saying? Its no language I ever herd, and I know most languages in this world and others," he said simply.

Coal nodded, idly noting that the girl preferred wolf over human. "That's a good thing then. Because as a small child, the change fascinates her, and she wants to see it again." Coal whistled, snapping Devin's attention away from the growing crowd around the children to Coal. "Try a cycle." he called over, gesturing in the direction of the group. A hiss prompts Paru to help. "Change." It's really all the explanation needed. Coal nods and redirects his attention again. "The language is LDE, and I'm not surprised you haven't heard it. It's not very common."
Meanwhile Devin sighed dramatically, grinning at the children as he stashed the gun and dropped down from the ledge, making his way over to the extended gathering. He snagged Soki's wrist as he passed, gently tugging her along. She followed without complaint, waving back to the girl who had waved first. She understood that gesture. He stopped a little ways from the group, making sure Soki didn't get ahead of him so he could pull her behind him if needed.
For a moment Devin considered how to put Soki's request (demand) politely. He decided not to bother. He just addressed the girl in person. "She wants you to change again." Probably both ways to make the little girl happy, but the wolf-girl could decide for herself.

Dante laughed lightly, "I don't know what kind of moon Suki is in for playing games with children," He shook his head and laughed again, "And LDE, that's one I haven't herd before now," He smriked lightly, "Rin might want to learn it, she likes to learn things she doesn't know, this would be one she would be all over,"
Alice and James smiled and waved at the little girl lightly, and looked towards Suki, "Just change once, at least for her," he said in a quiet voice, Alice chimed in a second later "Just once at least, she is a kid, its s just nice if you do,"
Suki glared at them for a moment and looked towards the one who was talking to her, "Fine, just cuz she reminds me of my younger sister," She stood and phased into her wolf form and walked towards the girl wagging her tail and gave a happy yelp so as not to scare her, she lied down and rolled over, which was humiliating but it will make the girl happy.
Rin laughed at the show of Suki and jumped down to join the rest and smiled at the little girl. She was half amused about how Suki was playing nice, which was rare for Suki. Rin decided jump on a still upright shelf and perch there to watch.
Dante smiled at the group from the window, "Well looks like everyone is starting to play nice," He said with a chuckle.

Coal just shrugged. "Nothing against anyone learning it. Just don't expect much help outside of laughing at your mistakes." Once again his attention went back to the children, waiting to see if he needed to intervene.
Soki watched wide-eyed as the girl changed into a wolf. That had just rolled over in front of her, like an invitation to play. With a happy squeal, she all but threw herself down onto the wolf, hugging the creature that was at least as big as she was if not bigger. "Pri'up." Paru gave the wolf-girl a little smile, inching forward to crouch beside her head. He slowly reached out a hand, intending to scratch an ear, but ready to pull away if she objected. Devin slipped closer but remaining standing. "Let me know if you want them off." he offered quietly.
"Well looks like everyone is starting to play nice." Coal hummed noncommitedly before adding his own thoughts. "She might not get off on her own. She's used to canines that let her choose what to do." He idly wondered how long the wolf-girl would hold out.

Dante laughed at this lightly, "She should be fine, she is actually good with kids, and if she does need to be removed, I'll get her out before she hurts the kids, don't worry," He said with a smile shaking his head slightly at the scene playing out in front of him.
Alice, Rin and James all started to laugh as the little girl jumped on to Suki, Suki made a huff noise and fought to hold back a growl that was trying to sound in her throat. She took a deep breath and made another playful bark at the little girl, giving the girl a big lick. She thought of what the people would think of her but at the moment she didn't care and she was happy that the little girl was happy and was having fun, and the weird thing was she kind of was having fun too.
Rin jumped down and smiled squatting near the little girl to watch Suki play with her, smiling brightly at them both, "That's cute Suki, never seen you playing before now," Rin said with a smile. Suki huffed and continued playing with the little girl.

Coal just smirked as he shrugged a shoulder. "That's good then. Otherwise I'll make her bleed if she hurts the kids." Unless it was Devin. Then he'd hold her still so the kid could shoot her.
Soki squealed again as she got licked, giggling and climbing up on top of the wolf. Devin startled as Rin dropped down, instantly pulling a gun from one of her waist holsters and steadily aiming it at her. After a moment he flipped it back over his hand and stashed it. "Don't do that." It was a sullen mutter, and he promptly turned his attention back to the little kids. Just in time to see Paru decide that sitting leaning against the wolf was a great way to keep an eye on his sister.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By now they had done a full circuit. Or close enough. Maybe. They were too bored to care at this point. "Let's go back. We can annoy the trigger-happy kid!" It was a damn bit more amusing that slaughtering the occasional beast they came across. "And when he shoots you, you DO know you can't shoot back, right?" It was a constant reminder by now. That, and they all knew Coal would shoot him the moment a gun appeared. But it would be nice if he could show some self-restraint once in a while.

Dante nodded his head "Though maybe I should protect her better, if she does hurt her, go for it, I'm not going to stop you," He sighed and watched them play for a bit.
Rin frouned at the guy, "Sorry, its not like you could actually hurt me with that thing." She said with a sigh, she was actually would have laughed a little if he shot her, others have tried, its fun to see how long it takes some people to give up.
Alice and James laughed lightly still, now sitting down on the ground by Suki resting against a falling shelf.
Suki on the other hand was having a lot more fun then she first thought with the kid. It hurt sometimes, because she reminded her of her sister so badly, but she tried to push that feeling away. She stopped moving around taking a rest, this after all was tiring.

Coal nodded in return, not saying anything. After a few moments he got up and moved over to perch on some shelving near where the children were playing, still placing himself between them and the front entry.
"Even more reason it would be a waste of bullets." the response came absently as Devin relaxed, still not taking his attention off of the playing children.
Soki grinned widely and let herself collapse against the wolf's side, Paru dropping down beside her moments later. "Nii'up." It was a happy croon half-buried in the fur. Paru hummed acknowledgement.
Movement from the far wall indicated the door opening to reveal Kyrah emerging from the back room. She still wasn't thrilled about the extra people, but they weren't going away like she wanted them to.
And then the front door banged open. An older boy walked in, a huge grin on his face and his arms thrown up wide. "Our kingdom is shit!" It was a random declaration in a happy tone that was that little bit off. Another boy soon followed him in. "We have barren waste, empty fields, pathetic creatures that mindlessly attack you, and more barren waste." A careless shrug was cut off at the realization of the ruins having more people in it then when the pair had left. The other boy caught on almost immediately after that and pointed accusingly at the closest stranger. "Who the hell is that? And them?" The second part was thrown on as an afterthought with an encompassing wave.

Dante stood as the two boys came into the store, tensing just in case. "friends of yours I guess," he said in a steady voice still glaring at the two people.
James and Alice stood ready. James more so slightly behind Alice, without his weapons there would be very little he could actually do. Alice moved the shadows around her into a swirling twist of darkness, letting them see but not the others in the store.
Rin let out a hiss, for a moment and stood beside the children, not sure if they where safe, so did Suki, whom stood with her hackles raised and teeth bared in front of the two children.
Dante is the only one who spoke up "We live here now, and whom are you fine gents, He said straining out of his defensive stand, holding out his hand slightly.

Coal watched with amusement as everyone in the new group seemed to drop into various battle stances. Kyrah raised an eyebrow from her spot at the other end, easily sharing the amusement.
Devin glanced at the newcomers before taking more attention to the reactions. "Alright kiddos, time to move now." He quickly hurried over to the two smallest, gently tugging on their arms to lead them off. Soki looked around confused, while Paru, only slightly more understanding the situation, had gotten to his feet. "Timo foli." Soki climbed to her feet, not quite getting why, but willing to do as told. Devin herded them towards what had been a staff lounge - the room Kyrah had exited earlier.
When the shadows moved, the three older boys immediately shifted focus to the two in the center of it. "Interesting." But Coal wasn't the one to move. The first boy was, immediately darting over to supposedly empty space and dragging fingers along an unseen boundary, trailing wisps of darkness behind the waving digits. "They're not Kin, far from it. Neither of them, and who did it, and they're not Kin!" The babble ended on a loud note, the last three being called loudly as he turned his head back to look at the boy still in the doorway, fingers not stopping their trailing movements.
The other boy hadn't moved far from the doorway, his attention wandering over to other inhabitants as his partner left his side, half an ear on said partner's words. It stopped on the retreating children and the sudden protectors, lingering for a moment before aiming at Coal. "Since when do yours have babysitters?" It was a teasing jibe followed by a quick retort of "Since girls got drawn to innocence." The boy tilted his head slightly as he shrugged, accepting the answer before he raised his voice for his own. "Elementals, mutants, there's lots of reasons-" "Then which is it?" was instantly yelled back, cutting in rudely. The boy only sighed, this time focusing on a stranger's words, instantly figuring out a proper equal answer. "We're with the ones that were here before." He stepped up to meet the hand, smiling as he took the unspoken invitation in the gesture.

You could hear Alice laugh from behind the shadows, "I did you moron," she said in a deep voice. She was at least glad that they didn't fear her, she was sick of that. James hid in the shadows more looking out at everyone, wanting so badly to have his knifes.
Rin looked at the children and did think it was better they weren't in the middle of it, she stood out of her crouch and smiled at them, kinda amused with the babble that was coming from the one, "its true it really is her" She butted in. She walked over to Dante and stood beside him, wanting to be at his side in case a good fight were to start, she wanted to have a part in it.
Suki phased out of her wolf form and stretched now that the kids were gone she could rest, she raised a eye brow to the new guys and shrugged walking over to the shadows, disapering suddenly into the shadows along with the others.
Dante watch the man step up to him "We live here now to, and I'm sorry about my friends reactions, but they aren't good with new people." He said in a shrugging once. He stood there still holding out his hand waiting to see what happened, not like this man could kill him but it was tiresome.

The boy paused for a moment, matching and noting the voice. "Hoooooooooow?" came the childish whine the moment he had finished. Only a beat later, he was dragging his fingers through the barrier, shadows rippling in it's wake. He sidestepped the girl without watching her approach, focussing more on the power in front of him. "Decent blending would fool the av's, but the presence isn't dampened, and would call to anyone remotely sensitive that was looking."
Tidus slipped his hand into the stranger's, for a brief moment, before pulling it away. He smiled and pointed at where his partner was examining the awakened shadows. "That's alright. He's not good with people in general." "HEY!" He abandonned his inspection to face his accuser. "That's not fair! I love people, I'm usually in a group!" Tidus answered with a noncommittal hum and waved him off. Coal snorted and moved over to the gathering in the shadows. "And how's the hold?" He promptly reached into the mass of shadows and tugged what he could from the rest, seeing how much came loose.

Dante laughed lightly, "well looks like we'll get along, I hope, my name is Dante, this beside me is Rin, the ones in the shadows are Suki, Alice and James. He thought that at least telling him names would suffice, since he hadn't really told anyone yet, and this seemed like a good enough time.
Alice looked at the man confused as he tugged at some of the shadows, she strengthened it slightly but nothing really happened. "I have gifts, this isn't my only power, but I hate my other one almost as much as I hate this one. She decided then to drop the shadows and let them go back leaving one behind her to blind him if he tries anything.
Suki waited a moment and phased not trusting the man who is making a commotion in front of them. James sneaked back into the room there stuff is in and grabbed a knife including his fathers knife and headed back standing by Alice handing her one to.
Dante sighed at the fact James went to get the knifes but let it be.

Leo crossed his arms with a pout. "Which is...?" came the quiet query. Tidus sighed and rocked back, casting a glance at Leo. "Mutation, magic, fluke. Take your pick." he called over. At Leo's nod, he turned back to the one in front of him, Dante, though he raised his voice for everyone to hear. "I'm Tidus, the child-who-isn't is Leo-" "HEY!" the mentioned boy yelled over. Tidus pressed on anyway, ignoring the directed ire. "The one testing the shadows is Coal, Kyrah's over by the door, and I'm assuming Devin is with the little ones, Soki being the girl and Paru the boy. Kaz is around somewhere as well."
Coal idly raised his hand as he heard his name mentioned, the other one allowing the stolen wisps to dissapate. "Now why would you hate the shadows girl? They can be quite useful."
Leo meanwhile had focused on the appearance of knives. "Blades? I like guns. Better range, better reaction." He was practically bouncing as he said this. As if to prove his point, he reached into the pouch at his side, his hand emerging with a pistol.
Devin had by this point gotten the children well into the break room. Judging by the yells, it was only a matter of time before someone attacked someone else. Kyrah leaned against the open door, a silent guard entertained by the squabbles of the others.
