Player file 1 : BEN

Face it

Brian and Tim eventually disbanded, Tim heading off with the god of time, and Brian making his way to the group. He tossed his arm over Toby's shoulder making the man jump and choke on his water.

"J-jesus christ. H-hi"  Toby coughed,

" Ay, come with me for a minute. I wanna talk with Cha"

Toby didn't bother with arguing as he began to walk off with the male, coughing here and there, accusing Hoodie of his death if he dry drowns, finally leaving you alone with Ben for the first time since later that night. His eyes flicked down to the dog, seeing it asleep at your feet. He scowled a little. " Do we HAVE to keep that thing?" He asked.

" I'm not really all that big on dogs. Especially this one" he continued.

This made you giggle as you ran your fingers over his soft head. " I think he's lovely. If we can get as many creatures on our side I don't see why not. He hasn't tried to attack or run away so I think we're safe" you rationalized. He pouted again, tapping his fingers against the log, before reaching over to hold your hand, rubbing it gently with his thumb.

" How's your wrist? I know Toby apologized for it but . I don't know what happened exactly" Ben said slowly. Eyeing you carefully. You bit your lip.

" Don't worry about it. He didn't mean it"

" Why won't you tell me what happened?"

" Because it's not fully his fault you know he has issues he can't help and- "

Ben let out a frustrated sigh, getting up from his spot on the log and storming off, developing an oddly quick temper with you. You frowned, watching his body language, watching his stiffness, his teeth grinding against each other..

You sighed, recognizing which Ben was present. The dog at your feet stirred, sitting it's chin on your knee.

" Don't mind that one Smile, he's not the best Ben, but he's still a part of him. He could be worst"

The dog gazed up at you, it's intelligent eyes blinked a few times before huffing again, showing his little canines in displeasure, clearly in disagreement with you. You rolled your eyes.

" How bout we catch something to eat?" You suggested to the creature. You watched his head tilt, ears perk up at the suggestion of ' catch' and ' eat'. Clearly two of his favorite words so far. This made you laugh a little as you took your stance and grabbed for your gun, the dog side eyed you.

" Not for you" you assured, giving him a pat on his side. He began to wag his tail, a large grin spreading across the creatures face. As you walked you watched, amused as it's fur grew long and red, a black mane filling in around his face. It's coloring and body changing similar to a red devil squid, or cuddle fish it seemed.

" Shape shifter, but still a dog huh boy? "  You giggled, the dog let out a deep echoing wolf, almost to say ' yes! I am a dog!' his tail wagged harder with a small prance to his step, happy about your acknowledgement as you two trecked deep into the woods, eyes watching you closely from the brush.

~Toby's POV~

" Deep breath in Toby, you got it"

I did as Brian said, sucking in a deep breath, soothing my tics as I pulled the trigger on the pistol, cursing as my tic kicked the bullet above my target anyway. I tsked as I sat up from my position.

" M-missed again. T-this sucks. I-I'm never g-going to be good with a gu-gun. "  I frowned, pulled the clip and began reloading it.  

Brian chuckled a little at this, taking a swig from his morning coffee before lining up for his shots.

" Not every shot is meant to happen, sometimes, you just gotta shoot and hope for the best"
