            the boy gazed at the plush with wide eyes.  he looked between the item and the person holding it  —  trying to confirm this wasn't some trick.  after a moment  ,  he carefully took the stuffed animal from the others hold.  "it's really for me?  I get to keep it?"  he questioned with wonder.  they glanced back up and gave a wide smile  —  they had never owned something like this before.  "thank you  ,  thank you!  I love it!"

            "rules  —  ?  ew  ,  gross!  ..  what were the rules again?"  they gave a sheepish smile.  "I wasn't um aware that there   /  were  /   any.'

@failedemo-          shhhhhhhhh    (…)   c’mon, man.    follow the rules 

@DAD0FTHEYEAR 
            
            "huh  ..  ?"  he gave the other a puzzled look.  "we're   /  outside  /   though!  how am I supposed to make my voice go inside?"

            "me?  yeah  —  yeah  ,  I'm fine!  completely okay  ..  nothing wrong here!!"  they let out an awkward laugh.  "very cool of you to check in though."

@vecnassaints 
            
            "the  —  what?  see an angel?  I really think you've got the wrong person  ..  "  was it bad to just  ..  run from a situation like this?  they were contemplating it.  "I don't know who you are and you're saying weird things.  totally stranger danger  ..  I think I'm supposed to yell."

(    @failedemo-    )     (    with  every  step  fai  took  backwards,  mana  took  a  step  closer,  eyes  wide  and  filled  with  almost  wonder,  as  if  she  was  studying  him,  taking  in  every  little  detail    )  the  angel,  can  you  see  him  to?

@vecnassaints 
            
            he took a slow step back away from the other  ,  face twisting into a frown.  "I don't  —  I don't know what you're talking about.  you're acting weird  ..  is this  —  is this a stranger danger situation?"

@demogorges 
            
            "well we were walking to the library  —  we're investigating some building  ,  right?  you said it could be important!  you actually didn't want me to come along  ,  but I didn't listen."  they shrugged alongside an innocent smile.  "and then you got distracted by the  ..  lackeys  ,  so we started watching.  naturally watching!"

@failedemo-       ⌣⌣      [  scratching the back of his neck,  will merely shook his head.  i mean,  it's not the strangest thing that he's ever heard,  but it was definitely at the top of their list.  although he's just glad the initial attention of him looking at somebody was withdrawn,  at least for a moment.  ]     yeah,  right.  what were we doing again?

@demogorges 
            
            "no  ,  I don't know.  sounds stupid."  a bit hypocritical for them to say  ,  considering he was a big follower himself.  "but we   /  are  /  watching them  ..  "  they mumbled.  "but   /  fine  /   —  we can be your thing instead."

@failedemo-     ⌣⌣    you feel a bit odd?    [  there was an awful feeling that rose inside of will's gut.  like,  there was something more to this,  but he couldn't quite pin it yet.  except that fai seemed to grow more anxious,  and that internally paid to his initial thoughts that he should have just ran away when he had the opportunity.  ]    okay,  stay low.  let's just run over—are you ready?    [  while hesitant,  a hand reaches forward and placed onto the man's arm.  urging for the other to push forward despite whatever discomfort they may be facing.  ]

@demogorges 
            
            fai furrowed their eyebrows a bit.  what was so bad about that?  witnessing the deaths hadn't been that shocking to them.  it was normal  —  they were used to it.  "so?  it's not like it killed us.  we weren't one of those five."  it seemed obvious to them.  why should they stay bothered by it when it didn't even affect them?
            
            "we both survive  ..  both."  he mumbled.  "and I'm  —  I'm fine.  just feel a bit  ..  odd."  the smile he gave in hopes of assuring will came out more pained than they had intended.  "probably from the um  ..  the stress?  yeah  ,  that'd make sense  ..  "  the words were more so meant to comfort themself.  they could feel a presence  ,  one that wasn't their own  ,  and they didn't know if they'd be able to hold it off.  maybe pretending it wasn't real would help  ..
            
            "we should hurry."  if this continues  ,  they didn't know what would happen  —  what they would become.  "we need to  —  we need to hurry.  before things get worse."  before   /  he  /   got worse.

@failedemo-       ⌣⌣      a downer?  you think i'm being a downer,  when we just saw a demo  —  gorgon completely run through five people.    [  just before they had ran,  will and fai had seen the demo  —  gorgon rip apart civilians just walking by the street.  the sight of it wouldn't be leaving his mind anytime soon,  and his skin crawls recalling the sound of broken,  torn apart limbs falling onto cold pavement.  eyes squeeze shut,  ‘think—THINK'.  will wasn't mike,  he wasn't some hero,  or was he brave like lucas—or have the brain's like dustin!  if his heart hasn't dropped through his ass,  it might as well have by now!  god,  he should have became religious.  what could the lord do right now?  ]    i'll do the shooting,   /you/,   just survive?  hey,  wait—fai?  what's wrong,    [  nose scrunches,  a whole new feeling of concern arises as his neck bristles up again.  as if to signal their situation was growing more dire by the moment.  ]

            the teen groaned as he slowly sat up.  a hand moved to clutch his head  —  fainting would explain why it felt like it was currently exploding.  they peered at the other through squinted eyes  ,  taking a moment longer to respond.  "yeah I'm  —  I'm okay!  ..  I think.  this just happens sometimes  ,  y'know?  a normal human experience and whatnot  ..  "  he managed a small smile after the words.

¹¹  if it wasn't obvious  ,  he named himself.  all he had ever been referred to by was   '  failure  '   ,  so they just changed it up a bit.

¹  they're not introduced until season two.  this is the season they escape the lab and find their way to jane. they're eleven years old at this time.
            
            ²  he's very clueless about the concept of good and bad.  he tends to be a follower  —  if he likes you  ,  then they'll listen to what you tell them to do.  this has hindered his process of learning proper morals.
            
            ³  he tends to stick in a constant state of cluelessness mixed with genuine joy.  they're just happy to be here.
            
            ⁴  emotions confuse them.  they don't always feel the emotion they're displaying  ,  he's just copying what he's seen others do.  he lived in a constant state of fear and anxiety prior to escaping  ,  but he's at least learned how to feel other things  ..  he just doesn't always know   what   they're feeling.  
            
            ⁵  despite his true nature  ,  he's generally a sweet person  ..  to those he favors  ,  at least.  then there's the fact that he's not destined to make the right choice of friends.  he's easy to win over friendship wise  —  it's very possible for that to be taken advantage of.  he's sweet either way though!
            
            ⁶  they love colorful things.  colors outside of pristine white and crimson red were his normal for the first decade of their life.  when they saw how much made up the world  ,  they got a little obsessed.
            
            ⁷  big time animal lover.
            
            ⁸  his main concept was that he's meant to look unsuspecting.  you wouldn't look a guy whose obsessed with rainbows and animals and think that he'd be able to turn into a demogorgon.
            
            ⁹  his demogorgon form isn't revealed until the third season.  no one in the main group is meant to like end up hating them  ,  but discomfort is understandable.  if you account is a canon character  ,  you can choose how they react.  I don't have anything specific set in place.
            
            ¹⁰  speaks a little too loud and a little too fast.

ABILITIES  . . .
            
            they can communicate with anything from the upside down.
            
            they can pinpoint when things from the upside are near.
            
            the creatures from the upside down don't see them as a threat.  since they're of the same blood  ,  fai isn't recognized as an enemy  —  not until he makes an attack.  
            
            while they themself can't open portals  ,  they're very in tune with the ones that are opened by others.  they can tell when they're opened and who or what goes through them.  they won't know where it opens though ( unless it's nearby )  ,  only that it's happening.
            
            they can transform into a demogorgon.  their form is smaller but more agile.  while they have less strength than the original they're far quicker.  they try to avoid shifting though  ,  as it gets hard to control after a certain period of time.
