Welp, all Topaz ended up doing was watching Orion wipe out. He was all for taking possession of that half-empty bottle. It felt like a challenge, after all. Surely he could rise to it. Fortunately, his fall onto Bonnie interrupted the whole thing.
The booze was a great finishing touch. He wish he'd thought of it. Though, the impression was good enough. Only one seemed to have a bit of difficulty with it.
“Success over all!” he cried as he threw his arms into the air. This was while Bonnie and Orion were having their moment.

“What's this..?” These words of Lucius's had nothing to do with the task at hand. While he stood there, he absent-mindedly fished about the innards of his pockets. What he plucked from its confines was a ring of the band variety. It was golden with no eye-catching markings or strange features. After Lucius finished looking it over, he began putting it on. He got no further than just the tip of a paw. They were hardly shaped for it; however, upon having it hover there as he allowed a moment of disappointment to pass, it grew, moved all the way down his right hand's ring finger and shrunk until it fit him.
He jumped a bit, startled slightly by the whole ordeal – but it was then did he remember he was supposed to be doing a task – a job. It was just a shame the item had such a firm grasp of his attention already.
“Oh, that's right...” he muttered to himself, obviously having entered an enlightening period of recollection. “Well... I'll know what it does after I attune to it. Anyway!” He tossed his arms into the air in celebration of being back on track.
“You're ready? This job sounds pretty depressing...”

Topax lowered his head, closed his eyes, and remained there for but a moment. If one did not know better, they would assume he actually gave his own respects, a silent prayer. There was little reason for the still to settle long enough for Koji to question what it was the being was doing. When the moment stretched on for a little too long, a light finally washed over the nekomata. He shrunk in size, his second tail receded until it no longer existed and a familiar, tiger-stripped Topaz was revealed.
He was not awake. He just slept there on the ground. He did not appear hurt or in any kind of distress. There was a definite peace of mind and easy to the steady breaths he was taking.
[that's all folks!]

There was something Topax was certain about. He could not let Topaz confront something like this. [break][break] Topax, the embodiment of anguish, frustration, sorrow, rage – all of the sickening, maddening flavours born upon witnessing one tragedy too many. As crazed, intense, blood-thirsty as he seemed, the root of his forceful appearances, intrusive transformations, stemmed from a desire to see Topaz mentally break no further. [break][break] Yet, the rage he cultivated and funnelled into a raging blast of fire failed to fell the twisted drake. It was titanic and formidable. It was fey-spawned insanity to think the beast shall fall from his efforts. Impatience grew. Shielding his other self from the horrors laid out before him meant he had to exist. Born of pain, so does he experience an unending moment of the same feelings felt that tragic day. [break][break] Endlessly. [break][break] Hell within and Hell without, Topax whipped his head around to see a horde of shambling corpses rise up. Some limped, others sprinted. The latter enclosed around him and instinct took over. His eyes grew wide, strained, and soaked with blistering ire. His ceaseless combination of physical blows began with a side kick, then a fire-forged claw was lashed towards something that approached him from behind. The same claw was drawn across the chest of another approaching from the side and while salvaging his own momentum, launched himself into the air to deliver a spin kick that proved enough to decapitate the undead body to his front. [break][break] When he landed, he felt an embrace from behind. Teeth buried themselves into his shoulder. A raging howl escaped him, gruff and frightening. Topax used an elbow to knock them off, but another lashed its arm across the side of his face. It left enough of an opening for another to do the same. Another pushed him to the side, causing him to stumble. He righted himself with a spin kick and as blood trickled down his face and arm, he panted. [break][break] Lost breath was hard to gather. The bodies continued to draw nearer. Their hunger was palatable. It was an opportune time to retaliate with everything he had - but he was … [break][break] Tired. [break][break] Tired of all of this, but what choice did he have but fight? It was why he was there. To fight with the frustration storming within him. To fight because the world was not fair. To fight because people were cruel. To fight to matter, to redeem, to self-preservate. [break][break] And it was then did he feel a gentle hand grasp his shoulder. [break][break] Topax looked behind him - but not upon the battlefield. He was within the dark recesses of his mind. Blackness enveloped him, but a blue, fur-paved arm was extended towards him. His other self did not sleep this time. He was awake, watching, and smiling compassionately to Topax. [break][break] There was no point for words. Understanding was all there was. Tears began to flow from the one least likely able to display any and in response, Topaz embraced him in the biggest hug he could muster. [break][break] “Enough…” he consoled. [break][break] An exchange unseen by all. The results, however, could be seen by any lending the exceed an eye. A flash of light and something smaller stood within the red-jacketed nekomata’s wake. Just one tail slumped lazily against the ground. His fur was blue. No tiger-shaped curse marks were present, but a bright, slightly-blue tinged pair of wings manifested at his back. He let out a centering breath. Afterwards, the wings grew in size, adopted a greater, feathery appearance and burned a familiar, fiery blue. [break][break] He rocketed skyward as a streak of blue. The freedom he just grasped with his own hands felt good enough for him to execute playful maneuvers while airborne. Twists and turns, spirals; all was visible as a streak of light, ever blue and ever burning. A certain, impossible bliss was nigh feelable, definitely seeable in the blithesome manner Topaz larked about through the skies overhead. It drew near the frightening creature they were all pooling their efforts against and made an attempt to clip the side of its head as he passed it by with inescapable speed. [break][break] Summed up: Topax got beat up by zombies. Topaz reclaims his body, conquers the roots of his cursed magic, attains a form absent of curse marks, and utilizes the magic replacing the last to attack the boss: Aera Magic.

At Orion's impersonation, Topaz started to giggle This giggle transitioned into full-on laughter with Koji's guess. He was found holding his side on the floor after Bonnie's, response, however. Her obliviousness seemed to have really gotten to him.
“I'll do one!” Topaz sat right back up with a hand in the air. He looked about for something to lean against and decided to just use a wall. He got as comfortable as he could. His legs were sprawled, hand down his pants and his expression read like he did not have a care in the world. His eyes were half-masted as he asked, “huh?” randomly with as rude and gruff as a tone he could muster.
“I like dogs. Think I'll get one someday,” he said, the conclusion barely able to hold itself together without unravelling into a fit of laughter.

"Yes. Being awake is straitening."
The time for speaking came to a sudden, stark conclusion. When permitted to continue his efforts, he returned his attention ahead of him. Only the faintest hint of pause ensued, but he went straight back to exactly what he was doing. When the hole's corners were six feet overhead, he stopped. A leap and paces drew him into the house. Not long after, he emerged with the woman in toe. She was carried with both arms, one supporting the back and the other the legs.
The only motion the body knew was the kinetic force borrowed from the one carrying her. It was clear what happened afterwards. It was her grave. She was to be placed within it and Topax did just that. He wasted no time in moving over to the pile of soil adjacent to the hole. Without any warning, he starting pushing and tossing it to refill the gaping void the two had created.

A soft thump and Topaz was back on the floor. He pulled himself up from all fours and gathered himself.
“Wow!” He began with the chipper tones of his voice restored. “That was a pretty amazing story, Bons!” His arms were up overhead, sprawled with his usual, characteristic excitement. It was like he was completely unaffected by the story – but then again, all of the effects seemed to have skyrocketed him from his previous sitting spot.
With all of the scare spent, he was okay to frolic about as usual.
“I know that was only one ghost story, but... what's next?!” he asked, seeming to want to jump to another activity entirely. It was clear he was just avoiding the possibility of more frightening stories, but it was a good a time as any to suggest something else.
“Impersonations?”

Perhaps miraculously, the being really did cease his digging efforts.
The whole of his form ceased to move when he felt a clutch at his shoulder. Prior, all of Koji's words fell on deaf ears. However, with a name shouted, filled-to-bursting with delirium and ostensible desperation, and an attempt made to physically bind him with such resolve, he stopped. What did Koji wish to hear as a response? Something? Anything? Whatever it was that he hoped to hear, he was actually given the exact opposite.
His head turned and came to rest softly. A piercing eye no warmer than the last time Koji's own had met it peered into him, wide and daring. It narrowed slightly.
“...Who?”
But that was not it. Fortunately, that was not all he had to say.
“Heh. You mean him. He sleeps while I'm awake.” He was not ecstatic to explain further, but likely the pause that followed would only find interruption by elaboration made of his accord.
“Moments ago, I woke up. First time. You know what that means? Your brother broke – shattered and I'm the pieces.” He paused. “He won't remember this, but I remember all that he does.
The woman died. I'm burying her. He cannot.
He's too weak for this.
Now, let go...”

The claw's final destination was destined to sever the felid into multiple pieces if not take the whole of his body and fling it into a nearby building. However, what actually ensued was its complete and utter halt. [break][break] Topax haphazardly rose one arm and blocked the assail. A gale spawned as a result, furling the crimson-hued jacket and sweeping a cloud of debris in an ever-expanding circle until evanesced. What power was rapidly circulating through the beast was unknown. Lost Magic aside, something else was present. [break][break] Only but a moment passed, perhaps not even a second as he stood there motionless, an aura of flame erupted around him with unparalleled ire and ferocity. What insects flew his way evaporated like raindrops atop lava as they failed to move through his fiery embrace. [break][break] “Remove yourself from MY PRESENCE, INSUFFERABLE SCOURGE!” [break][break] Following the lack of effect the creature's roar had on him, he felt obligated to return onto it a roar of his own. After a large intake of air, he allowed a raging torrent of flame to escape his mouth. A column of flame tore towards the large, winged creature as a result. [break][break] Summed up: Topax no-sells the claw attack by blocking it with one arm (cause I'mma look cool while I can B) ). He does a roar attack.

Topaz was intrigued. The final bite of the melon was gone. That's right, the whole piece - rind and all. At first, his curiosity was peaked. He leaned slightly inwards to make sure his ears caught each word. His eyes were wide and displayed the full attention that Bonnie had thieved. However, then he retreated slightly. He leaned a little bit away and then as if a fist were coming straight for his face, he covered it up with his hands.
Peeking through the spaces he allowed to form between clumps of fingers, he continued to listen to the story all the way until the end. And then there was the scream. Topaz replied with his own shriek. It was the most cat-like noise you could imagine. Fur stood up on end and he rocketed up all the way up to the ceiling.
And there he hung upside down on all fours, shivering all the while.

What is more silent than silence?
What happens when time loses track of itself?
The moment struck all deaf. Time stretched itself out, nigh froze as Koji reached out. That hand ostensibly required eons to reach a very still, seemingly unmoving Topaz. However, once it did - once it found purchase atop a shoulder - it was then was it finally noticeable.
Who was this?
It was the same commingling of races, but the fur was darker, the stature slightly greater than it was. When did such a phenomenon occur?
The universe thought it appropriate to bestow an elusive hint. Just at his cheek crept the final, black stripe. It ended at a point below a pair of unseeing, emerald green eyes. A curse than one could swear they heard breathing a breath of relief with its full, unbridled release.
And it did not stop. Before Koji grew his doppelganger. Topaz's tail split down the middle, grew what matter was missing in an instant and a full foot was added to his overall stature. It was then did he made his way out of the room. It appeared that little could stop him from venturing outside to the home's back and as if in a trance, he just started digging.

His gaze fell atop the cadaver, cast down in such a way as if to suggest trash lay there before him. He had nothing else to say. He fished around a jacket pocket, back still turned to the onlooking woman behind him. Drawing the item he plucked from its horn prior, he silently stared at it for but a fleeting moment. Another glance downwards towards the now still beast and he closed his eyes. Topax allowed a barely audible sigh to escape him - more a grunt, low and barely existent.
A kettle that had been unplugged, animosity clung to his bestial eyes akin to waning steam. He turned on a pivot and began walking. Casual, although slightly curious as the form was foreign in and of itself, he appeared to stride directly towards Mercy.
He drew nearer, the girl now finding purchase upon he knees, and it was then was she able to note she was not directly within his trajectory. No, for when he could grow no closer to her, he passed her by without so much of a glance her way. If she were to look back to give him pause, to simply watch him leave - it was too late.
He was already gone, evanesced through sheer celerity.

And yet, the fractured ivory protrusions could barely draw blood. The blue felid did not move, but dared the creature to approach. The impact's momentum drove him backwards, but its face was clutched with an ironclad grip, merciless and unconcerned with bunching its visage into makeshift handles. [break][break] "How about I rip that fucking face off of you?" [break][break] His hands were overtaken by a raging flame, its crackle like a cackle. Topax continued to slide backwards, arched forward with a form stiff with resolve and resentment. He attempted just that. His muscles jerked, arms tearing to the side. Flame spilled forth of its own accord. It was not fashioned into a stylistic attack, but instead the byproduct of a hate-filled action performed with potent - pungent vehemence.

"Hm?"
His response was so inquisitive, tingled only scarcely with subtle flavours of bewilderment. His question was posed not following Koji's broken utterance, but after its final piece was spoken into place. Anticipation of his reaction found only partial resolution. In its wake, possible confusion.
"Koji. Such a dark sense of humour. C'mon, now!"
His voice was hushed. Topaz feared waking the woman early. He hoped his manner of speaking would be enough implication for Koji to keep the volume of his words under careful moderation as well. Nevertheless, Topaz did not shy away from venturing into the room with a spirited jog, keeping his weight light and predominately within the tips of his paws. He slowed to a stop, was quick to get between her and Koji and caressed her hair lovingly.
"She must be so tired from all that walking yesterday."
He moved what hair fell in front of her face aside - however, the empty, heavily, deafeningly loud silence that composed the home's current atmosphere - something else about it was painfully, frighteningly unnerving buried within it; something unsettling.
It was Topaz.
His behaviour was uncharacteristic. Hands were upon him. The reverse was an extreme rarity. A warm embrace was a commonplace for Topaz to bestow upon others. However, something about this supposedly innocent, tender moment ...
was wrong.
"We're lucky to have her with us now."
