KJ

"Infernal woman..." he breathed, scratching at his horns and trying to remain where he lay. Lili's voice, combined with Sam's shrieks, did it though. Crossing the room, he tore the door open, Lili falling into him. His hands caught her wrists tight, brows low. It was a sight she should know not to mess with, not matter how pretty she thought she was.

Without a word, he tossed her, semi-gently, to the side and passed Monica without a glance. The basement called to him.

He continued his meditations and training, trying to relax again. If he could find calm, perhaps he could find sleep.


Monica

KJ wasn't happy. Monica even jumped to the side as he passed for fear that he would shove her as well. The red demon man slammed the basement door, quieting after his descent down the creaking stairs.

Monica glanced to Lili, eyebrows high. "Mr. Sunshine."

In the opposite townhouse, Tex flipped through another book. He realized the time after hearing the distant, but yelling, voices of his neighbors. The clock revealed the exact numbers, though he forgot them as soon as he looked away.

Standing, he sighed around the leaning towers of books around him on the floor. He could barely see his front door, let alone the path to the stairs to his bedroom. Eventually he made it there, theories swirling in his head about unheard music, dead girls and that human...the Monica character...his lips smiled a little. Quite the addition to their little play group. Quite indeed.
