i love both of them???? i can already imagine the return scene for the kidnapped kids, and imagining allie being suddenly swarmed by a group of her friends who are all crying in relief is so. pure. im crying

also fuzzy would make the best short story cryptid. do they talk at all?

Fuzzy doesn't really talk, in a physical sense, ut they do have that good good brain connection.

i am somehow both well aware and entirely unsure of what this means. how do you do that

Uhhhhh, speak in the brain
not in the mouth

@CinnamonRoll

oh my gosh??????? i adore her???? honestly, i think she would make a great recurring character who started out as sort of the 'alright, listen up, nobody is getting in my way' trope and ended up helping out the main characters. she's right around their age, so she'd be dealing with that fear around the time of the main events, and i can see them meeting at whatever place she works at on different footing from their first meetings. now i'm getting incredibly carried away, but she just. has an incredible amount of potential and now i want to give her an arc too hdghsgh

thank you!!!!! oh my god if you actually use her I will CRY. to think I helped a tiny bit in your story is awesome–thank you so much!!!! and her arc would probably make me weep, not going to lie–like, that one moment where she shifts from selfishness to "you can't hurt my friends!!" catch me in tears

i'm pretty sure you just became the SOLE reason i'm going to finish this book now just so i can know you read it and saw her become Babey

@Althalosian-is-the-father book

honestly guidance counselor it is. it'll let him be a guiding authority figure and jam out on whatever instruments he vibes with. i think he'd make one that teens could actually trust, which is a feat, at least imo

Awesome. I feel like he would be a flute or violin kind of guy. Like a chill kind of intense. Not a guitar. definitely not electric guitar.
Btw thanks. It made me think enough to make Nathaniel's boss. (Newly named Issac Booker.)

i can picture a student walking into his room for a session and he's just chilling by his desk, playing the violin as though he's not actively working

oh?

I love the image.

Yeah I've been meaning to. Nathaniel is one of my favorite characters. He works in a bookstore under the newly named Issac. Pretty much is in charge of everything while Mr. Booker is out. Cerf and Booker have similar vibes.

Cryptid concept

they’re attracted to sounds, some sounds attract them more than others. often, what really gets their attention is music though. the music can come out of anything, an actual instrument, a tv, a phone, a radio, whatever; they’ll remember where the sound came from. They’ll basically do anything in their power to steal the object and bring it to their den. I imagine they live by the water and is semi-aquatic, but their actual lair is kind of this hidden cave by the water or something like that. Upon entering their cave you’d find all of the stuff they’ve collected over the years, some stuff new and other stuff very old..dating back to the 1600s kind of stuff here. Whatever they collect they care for it quite well, and do their best to avoid breaking stuff. You’ll find the stuff in their lair is organized almost perfectly.

They actually don’t steal or kidnap people, in fact when collecting their stuff they’ll do everything in their power to avoid causing harm to their surroundings or people. in reality, they’re very shy and avoid confrontation if possible. The only part where they confront people is if they enter their cave, in which they’ll attempt to frighten them off, even avoiding causing any harm at that point. When stealing stuff, they’ll also do everything in their power to avoid being sighted. Very patient cryptid.
In terms of appearance, I’d image this guy would walk on all fours. They’d be more animal like in terms of body shape, with a long tail. Smooth head, four pure black eyes (two on each side of the head). Webbed feet and gills alongside their fairly long neck. Body covered in smooth scales, in similar feeling to a snake. Kind of a long body. Two small ‘arms’ by their front legs, which they use to grab stuff. I can try and see if I can do some sketches of this fella.
Very fast and very silent. If anything, I’d classify them as being a neutral sort of being whos more confused if anything. They have small, two rows of sharp teeth and feed on fish which they catch from the ocean. Cannot speak, but presumably understands speech. It’s just their choice to ignore it or not.
I’d imagine this guy be called Melody. Despite their music interests, Melody doesn’t actually make very much noise at all; they may even be incapable of making noise.

I’ve also got something for one of the adults, I’ll return here once I have a more expanded concept of them

these are teenagers with no fear and who thrive on the chaos caused by cryptids. they would have so much fun watching everything go down. if he gets too out there maybe lure him away with more candy but boy would they vibe

funny how that was catori's dad's response as soon as his wife gave catori a knife. she did say she couldn't have it till she was old enough but. catori may never have kids of her own but she will carry on the legacy of chaotic parenting
