Well, the house cup event was over, and the ghosts had won, but Shiki wasn't thinking all that much about that. He was thinking of how things had been while he was participating. Fighting himself, singing, playing with soft fluffy balls of cuteness..
The thought brought a smile to his lips as he looked at his little gang of flying foxfires. They knew the look all too well, Shiki had that insane I want to snuggle something look on his face again. Being the smart little things they were, they took off flying fast away from the little kitsune boil who was chasing them with arms extended, his large fennec ears perked and his three tails fluffed behind him.
Due to the fact that he was looking at the sky more than anything else, he was not really sure where he was going other than after his pets. The mini's didn't know where they were headed either, except away from the grabby arms of the little arctic kitsune who wanted nothing more than to snuggle them.
Yup this could certainly spell trouble for someone.

It had been a few days since Carmine had to endure the trials and tribulations of the House Cup. He didn't do great, but he also hadn't done the worst. Sadly, the demons lost miserably in comparison to the other dorms, though Carmine could've easily passed for a monster student and pretended not to be in dead last.
He was idly sitting in a tree on campus, picking the fruits and munching on them when he heard a bit of commotion. He looked around and soon spotted the boil that had started petting him after the fight with himself at the House Cup. He watched for a few moments as the boil began chasing around his flying foxfires as they scattered in all directions.
He arched one eyebrow, musing to himself about how nonsensical it was for non flying students to have flying minis. There was no way they could control the minis and keep them contained because the students couldn't fly. With a small sigh, Carmine dropped from the branch he was sitting on and took flight.
The foxfires must not have been used to an airborne chase because Carmine was able to catch two of them fairly quickly. With the two in hand, he glided back to the other boil, and hovering just above him dropped the two foxfires into his open arms.
Carmine stayed hovering in the air, but lowered himself closer to the ground a foot or two away from the other boil, "Hello again" he chirped.

Carmine smiled a bit when the other boil remembered his name instead of attacking him for nabbing his foxfires. Though for the life of him he couldn't remember the kitsune's name. He wasn't entirely sure the boil had told him to be fair. The little bat demon was a touch surprised when the other foxfires came back a few moments later and joined them again on the ground.
His eyes grew a little bit as he took in each individual one. He snapped back up when the other boil thanked him for bringing his foxfires to back to him. "Oh, you're welcome..." he trailed off, remembering again he had no idea what the boil's name was, "Ahh, I don't think I caught your name before..?"
He blushed a little at this admittance and looked down to notice the one foxfire edging closer to him and trying to sniff him. Carmine did the only sensible thing of course, he scrunched down on the ground, on his hands and knees, with his wings standing nearly straight up in the air and sniffed back at the foxfire.
Twisting his head curiously to the side, he blinked once slowly, then shifted into his natural form. His natural form was something of a tiny bat gryphon, roughly twice the size of the foxfire.

Carmine was a little bit worried that he might have offended the other boil at first when he asked about the kitsune's natural form. However, the other boil sighed lightly and showed Carmine his natural form anyway.
Blinking slowly, Carmine tried to take in the tiny kitsune in front of him. He was very small, much like himself, with very large ears, also like his own bat gryphon form. Though Shiki's natural form was far fluffier than Carmine's and looked like he could definitely survive a winter.
Carmine reached one tiny, clawed hand forward to see what the other boil's fur felt like. He imagined it was quite soft, based only on the feel of the winter coats his demon parents had bought him in the past for their winter travels.
"You don't look funny," Carmine started. He wasn't exactly the most uplifting and useful demon to talk to, but he sometimes tried a little bit. To Carmine, the little kitsune seemed much like him, different, but with many similarities in the things that made them different from others.
He smiled kindly and shifted back to his own natural form to boop the little kitsune on the nose.

Shiki was indeed very soft, which may be the cause of his love of soft thing. His mother had been a Fennec fox Kitsune, and his father an Arctic Kitsune, the pairing was never heard of, but there was the result, a cute Arctic Fennec Kitsune, half desert dweller half snow dweller but all cotton ball.
When he was booped on the nose he fell over waving his tiny paws around as if stuck there. He was so childish at times but it came from being so unbelievably tiny compared to the other kitsunes. He was almost an eternal child.
The other small demon seemed to be a perfect pairing for a friend. Shiki giggled a bit and let his tails wave around. "Thank you. I.. I know I am not like other Kitsune, but I am me, and that is all I can be." He tried to lick the other boy, an affectionate gesture that meant that he liked and wanted to be friends.
"I never met a demon like you before. I like your wings and you are soft." He blinked his silvery eyes and wiggled a bit. "Do you want to be my friend? I only met one other here.. a dormouse ghoul, I would like another friend."
He shifted back to his boil form, laying on the ground on his back, his foxfires gathering around him and nuzzling close.
"Shiki gets lonely.." One of the foxfires appeared to say, the voice came from it at least and it looked like it was talking.
"He likes you." Spoke another.
Shiki's talents with foxfire (the magic) went little farther than tiny things like that.

Well that was adorable. Yup. The tiny puffball of a kitsune fell over backwards and waved his itty bitty paws around after Carmine booped his nose. It was like watching a turtle, but way fluffier. Carmine tried to stifle a small giggle at the other boil's plight, it wasn't nice to laugh at your new friends!
While his eyes were still closed, Carmine suddenly felt the little kitsune lick him. He blushed wildly, but thankfully the color of his cheeks was masqueraded by the fur covering every inch of him in his natural form. Carmine could tell that he liked Shiki quite a bit, he wasn't sure yet if the other boil would be interested in his many adventures and schemes, but the kitsune did seem to bring out a kinder side in the bat demon.
As the other boil complimented him and his wings, Carmine stretched out his wings as if to test if there were there. Before responding, he shifted back into his boil form and laid next to his new friend.
"Thank you, I've never met a Kitsune before, it's very interesting," he mused, mostly to himself. Continuing on, he turned his head towards the boil next to him and said, "Of course I would like to be your friend. I don't know many others here as well. I only just met those old students at the House Cup, and I'm not even sure they're students..." he trailed off, thinking back to the strange and loud group. He would like to see them again, but he had a feeling it wouldn't be for a long while.
Carmine was brought out of his trance like thoughts when the foxfires appeared to begin talking.
"Uhh.. what?!?" he stared at the furball minis wondering if what he had just heard was right. "They can talk?!"

Shiki giggled a bit at Carmine's reaction to his making the foxfires speak. He blinked and tilted his head a bit. "Hmm? No, don't be silly Foxfire's can't speak."
One of the foxfires nodded a bit, and spoke softly. "Nope, we can't talk, why would anyone think it?"
Shiki flicked his tails a bit and rolled onto his side. "I can make things look like they can talk, and I learned to throw my voice when I was still just a kit." He pointed to a stone, and it appeared to grow an illusionary mouth. "I'm bored.. I want to travel."
The pale boil giggled again. 'I like doing that when people don't expect it."
He moved from that topic though fairly fast. "So, how was the contest for you? I kind of got distracted during the quiz part, a foxfire landed on me and I ended up chasing it around.." He flushed a bit. "It.. was right there how could I not?"
His own foxfires seemed to understand the being chased bit as they all looked over at him at once and tilted their head's as if waiting to be chased.
"I think I did okay at the other parts, but I guess my score didn't help us demon's win." The kitsune shook his head. "What would have happened if we had won?"
Shiki was already taking for granted that they would be good friends. and he smiled warmly at Carmine. "I wonder if we would have gotten fun things to do during the year if we won. Like sudden missions, that would be fun. We should do that anyway, like do missions to infiltrate the ghost dorms and see what they are going to be doing." His silvery eyes started to sparkle and his tails flicked faster.

Carmine raised his eyebrows quizzically at the kitsune when he said the foxfires couldn't talk, and then one immediately spoke right after. He had been fairly certain that minis couldn't talk at all before, and now he was still fairly sure, but didn't know what the other boil was doing to make it seem otherwise.
Upon listening to Shiki's explanation of throwing his voice and then giving a demonstration with the rock, Carmine understood. He found the phrase that the rock 'said' to be quite hilarious and couldn't help but giggle at the whole thing.
"That must be quite fun to confuse others with," he remarked.
Carmine was surprised when the other boil changed the topic abruptly, asking about the House Cup that they had both recently competed in. "I did okay, not great though. I was really bad at the quiz and the caroling stuff. I just kept choosing the wrong songs to sing," he replied with a slight frown on his face.
"I think that a lot of the demons that signed up for the Cup, didn't show up to compete and that gave us zeros in their spots." Carmine mused honestly about the whole debacle. "I don't know what would have happened if we won, I've never been part of the House Cup before... I don't imagine that anybody gets special treatment, but who knows!"
In response to the other boil's warm smile, Carmine gave a lop-sided one of his own. "Who says we can't do fun things just because we didn't win?!" he questioned Shiki with a wicked gleam in his eye. "We should infiltrate the ghost dorms anyway and hang up all their underwear," the little demon was quite a devilish troublemaker.

In response to Shiki's question, Carmine simply stated, "Maybe something came up... or they got sick or something." He shrugged as if to show he didn't really care one way or the other. A lot had changed since the very first time he set foot on the school campus.
"Yes! We will do it for sure," the evil gleam was showing in Carmine's eyes again, "We'll have to make a plan of attack though first, we can't just run in there blind with not plan."
"Sort of..." Carmine trailed off in response to the other boil's question about just getting to Amity. "I first came here a couple of years ago, but I hadn't gone to any classes and only made one friend before I had to leave because of family business." His face dropped a little as he remembered his friend Charlie, the two of them were partners in crime and always had the most fun together. He missed eating pizza with the boil the most.
Carmine's face brightened up a little when he followed Shiki's pointed finger and saw the spider with the party hat. It was quite strange and he hadn't seen one before. As Shiki began to follow it, and asked the little bat demon what they should do, Carmine gladly agreed, "We should totally follow it! Maybe it will lead to a secret party cave!"
He quickly shifted into his natural form, since it was smaller and made for following the tiny hatted spider a lot easier. He was also much quieter as a bat gryphon and would hopefully not alert the spider to their plans.
The spider quickly began to shuffle off in the direction of a grove of trees.
