[PRP] Midnight Creeper (Vaudrey/Abbie)

[Grey Dragon]

The night was moonless and dark, no wayward rays of light filtering through the windows of the monster dormitory. Abbie was entirely unafraid of the darkness, unaware even. Heat detection leant it a different perspective in the dark halls, it could actually 'see' better in the cooler night than on a hot summer's day. And the lonely creaks of the building only served to rouse the wyvern's curiosity.

Despite the late hour, it had kicked off it's boots, rolled up it's sleeves, and left it's dorm for a walk. On the ceiling. Even in it's humanoid form, Abbie's motions were almost catlike as it's hands, feet, and tail adhered to the ceiling. It was following a leftover trace of footprints on the cold floor, and the silence in which it moved could almost be mistaken for stalking.

The only sound it made was the snuffling, wheezing breath, as it approached the source of the warm tracks.

Vaudrey wasn't exactly afraid of the dark - but he didn't really appreciate it either, and therefore was slinking around the place, looking rather pathetic as he eased slowly through the front door of the Monster Dormitory, trying not to wake anything.

It was raining outside. Unintentionally, he'd tracked in muddy water and was now tiptoeing to his dorm room, his sodden wings dragging along the floor. And, most unfortunately, he became only too aware that there was another sound in the hallway - a shuffling sound, drawing nearer and nearer.

Vaudrey whipped around and promptly screeched like a little ghoul.

Abbie hadn't expected that screech, yet it was more than enough to confirm the identity of it's 'prey'.

"Hi!" It replied brightly, dropping from the ceiling in a single fluid, twisting motion. Like a cat falling, it had turned it's upper body before it's tail had even detached from the ceiling, landing silently on it's hands before rising to it's feet. It smiled, rows of teeth visible even in the dim lighting.

"Vaudrey, right? We met at that place when the bus broke down, remember?"

Once he'd managed to get his own senses back in control, Vaudrey's talons clutching his chest, he stared at the figure in front of him with a feeling of mingled apprehension and confusion.

There was a moment of complete silence.

"Oh," said Vaudrey weakly, struggling to remember to be gentlemanlike at all times.[/] "Yes. Yes! Er, yes, the bus...incident, I remember this, yes."

A pause.

"What's your name again?"
