The HABIT's House

Vaermina had somehow managed to grab both her machete and knife in her panic, so she set them in a corner. "I need an easier way to carry those.." she mumbled. "Well, I guess that's a valid reason."

"I have a lot more of those in this house, here, follow me" he said and walked up a set of stairs. He went through the first door, and in there was a table. Lined up perfectly in a circle where knives, machetes, katanas, of all sizes. There was even a chainsaw. "You know, i named it Rex. The chainsaw" he chuckled and leapt onto the table. "Now, here are the rules of this lovely house. All of this is mine. Dont touch the table, you know what? Dont even look at the fucking table! Over there--" he pointed to a door behind a bed "--Is my attic. All the fun stuff goes down in there. There is actually a captive in there now so dont go in there unless i order you to" he said and jumped off of the table. "Your room will be Vinny's old room! Vinny was Evan's best friend. I had him as a minion of sorts for a while, but he disobeyed me" he said and led the way to a room at the end of the hallway. It was a quaint room with a dresser, a bed, and a nail in the wall where you could hang up a machete or katana.

Vaermina followed Habit, she observed the various weapons until she was told not to look at the table, then she just looked at her paws. She nodded as she was told not to go in the attic then followed Habit to her new room.

"No Proxies, Demons, etc. can enter this house unless i allow it. Its enchanted, nothing can enter or exit. Its impossible unless i allow it" he said with a flcik of his tail "So, you're fine here!" he said with a grin.

"Yay! Free will terminated!" she laughed. "At least there'll be no more surprise visits." she finished, running back to the corner and grabbing her machete, hanging it on the wall once she got back.

Suddenly a brown head with a white muzzle and small, white pinhole eyes poked in. Across his muzzle was a thin, wide smile. He looked very eerie and unsettling.

Vaermina looked at the cat "The hell?" she said outloud, though she hadn't meant to.

HABIT turned his head to see the creature that had appeared "Firebrand you're scaring the guests" he chuckled. The tall, shaggy-furred brown cat entered. His right front paw had a dark brown sock and so did the left hind leg paw. He had a white chest and muzzle. His shaggy fur was missing in some areas with burn marks. "I am very sorry to have been trapped in this awful form. But once bound to The Operator(slenderman) and given a form, you cannot escape it even when you become unbound to him" he said. His voice was quiet, deep and raspy. "Call me Firebrand" he said with a dip of his head.

Vaermina cleared her throat then observed the cat known as Firebrand. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude. I'm Vaermina, though you may call me Vae, or just Rabbit." she said, slightly dipping her head back to the tom.

"I used to be known as Noah before i was taken to the New Realm by Observer and changed" he said, glancing at HABIT. "Nice to meet you, Vaermina. May i ask how you came to be here?" Firebrand asked politely with a sweep of his bushy white-tipped tail.

The black and white she-cat blinked. "How I found myself to be in this house? Well, being one of Habit's followers Slender seems to have this weird hatred thing going on."

"That makes sense. We are currently going through the steps of taking down The Operator and freeing all the members of The Collective and not to mention his Proxies" he said. "I am an unbound member of The Collective. Something that is, but shouldnt be. A rouge god" he said. HABIT put an arm around his collarbone "Alright done with introductions i was explaining things before you popped in" HABIT said with a some-what teasing glare at Firebrand. Firebrand crouched down and tried to shrug HABIT's arm off awkwardly.

Vaermina nodded thoughtfully before turning her attention back towards Habit.

"As i was saying. There are other 'guests' here in this house. Do not approach them or try to talk to them unless they approach you or try to talk to you first. Trust me. This one--" he ruffled Firebrand's head with a rough paw "--was only approaching you to let you know he's not going to harm you" he said knowingly.

"So, you have random cats that roam your house? I'll be sure to remember that." Vaermina grinned.

"They arent random, but a lot of them are as ruthless and insane as i am, so be careful is all im saying. Safety comes at a price. If you see one, and it approaches you, then its safe. If it seems like it isnt paying attention to you, then dont try and get its attention. Things wont go well. Firebrand happens to be one of the nice ones, no matter how creepy he looks" HABIT grinned and ruffled Firebrand's head again. "Please stop doing that" Firebrand groaned and tried to squirm out of HABIT's tight grip once more.

"Okay, got it." she answered. "Simple." Vaermina yawned and stretched out one of her legs before sitting back down.

"Next thing! Im brining a... Guest of somesorts here. He will look a LOT like Firebrand but without the creepy eyes, smile, and random missing fur patches or whatever. I have no idea if he will be hostile or not, and its up to you if you want to approach him" HABIT said and let Firebrand out of his grasp. "I also dont know how he will react in being here. But im putting him in the living room for the meantime. Ive got things to do believe it or not" he said with a nod. "Ill have Firebrand check up on you" Firebrand looked like he was about to object, but stayed quiet. "If you see creepy, deformed dog things dont worry about those. They're kinda like minions, but cant talk. They're harmless" he said with a nod before putting his hat back on his head with a grin. "Now! I gotta go fetch twin#002 and bring him here" he said.

Vaermina waved a goodbye with her tail before looking over at Firebrand. "You're quite the antisocial one aren't you." she said as an attempt to start up a conversation.

"If you think I'm Anti-social I wonder what you'll think of Mr.Scars" he said, thinking of his cousin who was still trapped under Slender's control. "I know this might confuse you but, the cat HABIT is bringing in is a different version then me. I'm a future version of Noah. And I will tell you now he can get aggressive when confused" he chuckled. A door opened and closed downstairs. "I think that's him" he said and turned his head. Suddenly he vanished "I'm here even though you can't see me" his voice suddenly said from nowhere. "Want to go see him?" He asked.

Vaermina laughed "That is kind of odd. And sure, why not?"
(Time limit, must post everywhere)

"Lets go" he said softly and made his way down the stairs. There on the couch was almost an exact replica of Firebrand. Except his eyes were normal, his maw was normal, and he didnt have missing burn marks. He was surprisingly handsome, even though his bushy brown fur looked messy now from the struggle that he had put up. He had a white muzzle and chest, his front left paw was a darker brown sock, and so was the back right paw. The handsome tom was unconscious now, but that could change very soon.

Vaermina snuck down the stairs "This is a big house.." she whispered before observing the passed out tom.

Suddenly the tom's eyes flittered and slowly open, they were a deep, dark green. He laid there for a moment, putting a paw on his head, before realizing he wasnt home. "Wha... What the hell?" he said suddenly in confusion, sitting up in alarm. He looked around, confused. "Uh... Hello?" he called out. "Anyone there..?" he asked.

Vaermina stayed hidden, unsure of what the tom would do.
