"Distracting. And potentially getting worse." Pluto looked down at her hands, the nails seemingly sharpening themselves into claws against her will. Her wings fluffed and spiked, the largest of the feathers shifting back and forth between their blade-like state

Mike went over and put his hands on her shoulders, looking her dead in the eye. "Listen, this is nothing personal, but if you don't think you can't control yourself, I will render you unconscious until this is over. Would that be a good idea? Or do we have another option? I don't want to drop a good team member unless I absolutely have to."
"We can summon another demon," Asura suggested. "It seemed to satisfy her before."
"That could work, but make it quick. If the other demons catch its scent, they'll be on us in a heartbeat."
He thought about it for a moment. "Will they be able to catch the scent of a demon that's not familiar to this universe?"
(also Asura is back to his normal self so he won't be doing any ridiculous crying over demons lmao)
(lol okay XD)
"I have no idea. Feel free to try it."
(I feel like at this point we should wait for the others to respond. What do you think?)
(yeah, I suppose if we're gonna be fair about this we probably should)
(Okay. We might have to wait until tomorrow though, Eevee might want to go to sleep and idk where shinsleepy is.)
(true. I guess we'll see. My bedtime's not too far off either, tbh)
(I don't really have a bedtime but I don't want to stay up too late lol)
(yeaaah, it's always better to sleep lol. Not gonna lie, sleeping's one of my favorite activities XD)
(lmao same but for me it can be difficult to get because my internal clock is all screwed up for some reason)
(That's too bad. Do you have any lights in or near your room at night?)
(Hi I'm rlly bored can I join?)
(I would suggest going back and reading the rp before joining, but if you really want to then I guess it should be ok)
"You are not knocking me out," Pluto growled. "I…I might be able to use this to my advantage. Just give me a moment to figure this out. Think this has something to do with your dimension, not hunger."
(nope I keep it completely dark)
"How are you going to use this to your advantage?"
(huh. that's weird, then, idk. sorry)
"Sit down for a minute and think about it, we'll keep watch." Mike double-checked to make sure his gun was loaded. "Your guess is as good as mine on this stuff."
(Iiiii gotta go to bed now, see you guys tomorrow)
(lol it probably has to do with stress or something)
"I still say we summon a demon for her to eat," Asura said, leaning on his staff again.
(see ya tomorrow)
Pluto sat down on the stump of a tree, hands making grabbing motions subconsciously. Her wings fluffed and sharpened, and she could feel her breathing quicken a little. Her mouth felt dry and the hunger didn't help, but it slowly started to ease up. "I…I think I might be ok."
"Get back to me when you're absolutely sure. We're not going to take a single risk–"
He stopped mid-sentence and stared off at the distant gloom. From that direction had come the sound of gunshots, then an agonized scream.
Mike set his jaw. "Guns out. That was close by."
Pluto stood, feathers bristling as she held her gun
Almost without warning, a massive winged shape loomed over the treetops and glided soundlessly over them. Something limp and humanoid dangled from its claws. As it passed overhead, thick drops of blood pattered onto the ground's carpet of pine needles. Then the shape was out of sight once more.
Mike waited to make sure it was gone, then wordlessly beckoned to the others and started following the bloody trail.
