Unfortunately for a certain neko boy, his move to Manta Carlos was sudden and not something he had a say in so he knew next to nothing about the place, save for the fact that it was crawling with creatures he’d never even heard of as well as super powers he thought only existed in movies and comic books. Oh yeah, and the fact that he was being made to go to a school here… where the aforementioned creatures and people would be attending as well. Being a neko himself, he has always been aware of the fact that there is much more out there in this world and he is included in that statement but it had never occurred to him that there was an entire world beyond the mundane world of humans (he grew up around humans after all). It was both incredible and quite unsettling as well as he himself wasn’t much of a fighter nor did he even know how to fight and many of these people or creatures on this island could easily trump what abilities he did have. It made him wonder though, of all places why was he sent here? Why would his parents go out of their way to send him to an island for creatures and humans that just didn’t fit into humanity when they themselves, as nekos, were adamant about living among humans and as a normal human family? His shoulders slumped with that thought as it seemed to occur to him and he gave a light humorless laugh in spite of it. Because I’m gay and that makes me a misfit worthy of being disowned and sent to an island to live among others who hiding away from humanity and its judgmental oppression on this island.
Fortunately for the neko however, not all was bad as he had arrived here during a weekend and did have a bit of time to at least get settled into his dorm and take a tour of the place. That was exactly what he was doing as he strolled down the sidewalk with his hands shoved into his pockets, hazel-green eyes roaming around his surrounding and mind putting together a mental map of the place he would hopefully remember at a later date. Already having walked about the school some, getting settled into his dorm and meeting his dorm mate the day before, he decided today he would take a look around downtown to at least become a little familiar with it as well as to give himself a reason to stay out of his dorm incase his dorm mate would be hanging around. Not that he didn’t like the guy, he hardly knew him after all, but the neko was planning on keeping both his speech impediment and sexuality a secret for as long as he could help it and being shut up in a room with a cute guy and having to communicate with him wouldn’t do that plan any good. So, he would just have to stick to his own company for now and lay low so to speak, concentrate on his studies and he could completely avoid a similar disaster to what happened at home, right?
He brushed a bit of his bangs out of his face when they fell into his eyes, his ears twitching attentively at the sound of a door closing in the near distance as he continued on his way. With no specific destination in mind, he was simply wandering about and the longer he did, the more he thought and the more he thought, the more questionable he became about the idea of coming down town in the first place. What if he ran into a werewolf or some other creature that would love to have him as a snack? What if he got lost and couldn’t find his way back to the school? Come to think of it, which way had he turned to come down this street again? He momentarily panicked and stole a glance behind him only to give something of a relieved sigh as he assured himself he had turned right and remembered the little bakery shop he had passed on the corner. That had him quickly shaking away his insecurities and putting his mind from any negative thoughts he had earlier to instead enjoy what this part of the island had to offer and for once, not worry if he was going to get caught since he wasn’t sneaking out or about being yelled at when got home since he longer had parents to yell at him or being reprimanded for either his speech impediment of is sexuality since no one here knew him. Though as upsetting as it was for everything to go downhill like that, this really is his chance; a golden opportunity to start over. A faint smile graced his lips at that thought and is stride gained a bit of confidence as he turned the next corner.
