Habit stood staring down the tall thing. He stepped closer to Elliot's unconscious body
"Mine" he growled. The thing let out some sort of laugh.
"You wouldn't happen to be going soft, would you now, habit?" it said through static. Habit took great offense to that.
"I'm allowed to care about something with out bein soft," Habit hissed through his teeth "if it did you'd be far softer, what with your house fulla mentally fucked teens,"
Just then Lazarus came out of the brush and locked eyes with Habit.
"you." he hissed at habit
"It looks like you've got company" the tall man snickered and Habit groaned in annoyance.
"Listen brat, go cry to that demon bitch dad of yours, I don't have time for your shit,"
"HOW DARE YOU SPEAK OF MY FATHER LIKE THAT YOU PURPLE FREAK," Lazarus, his demonic "Zalgoid" form breaking through, snarled at the shorter man. Habit rolled his eyes, frustrated.
"Take a step closer and you're a dead man, Lazarus"
"I'll take my chances, old man" Lazarus sneered.
Habit began to deform and his body stretched into a creature taller than the trees. He had spider like appendages, spikes, two barbed tails, massive sharp claws, and a sharp toothed maw. Habit's voice was dual toned as he bellowed out growl.
"STILL WANNA TAKE THAT CHANCE?" Habit roared.
The color drained from Lazarus's face as he stumbled back then fled into the woods. Habit shrunk back into his vessel and gingerly picked up Elliot. Habit turned to the tall, faceless man.
"You too, scram" Habit snarled then turned on his heel, heading back to his house.
