you left me hypnotized ;; lewis

[goodsprings]

the fallen leaves crunched under arthur's paws as he trotted uphill, his tail curled over his back and whiskers twitching excitedly. his ears perked forward at the soft chirping and calls of crows ahead before turning to look over his shoulder. honey colored eyes softened as they rested on lewis, a small smile curled at his maw. he stopped for a moment to let him catch up, his mechanical leg whirring idly. they were off the beaten path by a few miles now, yet he still felt oddly relaxed around his old friend. he missed lewis for a long time, he couldn't imagine being without him again.

"are... are you ready?" arthur's voice was soft, but the chilled air was still and carried his voice. he knew lewis' answer already, but it had been quite some time since the last time they ventured somewhere like this. their equipment was outdated compared to what had since come out, so with a bit of tinkering on the panel of his leg arthur had been able to add some features to detect paranormal activity.

flipping over the panel would reveal a screen that scanned about thirty meters around them, and several colored dots could show up marking special kinds of activity. blue for poltergeist. red for demonic energy. yellow for anomalies; mainly wandering spirits. then grey for elemental spirits that included the fae or tricksters. it was fun to work on, and the tabby felt much more prepared to investigate and not as reluctant as he once was.

"y'know, th-this, uhm, house was suh...supposed to be a c-castle one day! b-but the owners... uhm, didn't quite make it." despite his stammering arthur's voice remained low in a 'spooky' tone, his head low and his smile turning to a mockingly sinister one. "b-but it's just a m... myth." he ended with a short flick of his tail and a wink.

⚙ when we kiss, i can't explain. its superhuman.

It had been a long time since he had seen Arthur but now that he was by the other once more, Lewis didn't seem to have any intention of the leaving him anytime soon. The hellhound was taking his time making sure that nothing was sneaking behind them, he was around the size of a large wolf maybe even taller, though his caution ceased when he heard Arthur speaking to him did the hellhound's ears perk forward with a tilt of his head. A grin tugging at his lips revealing his teeth a bit as he answered "When am I not ready?" His eyes would survey the area a bit before hearing the snap of a twig did he turn his head swiftly in that direction feeling a growl escape him. He eventually heard the sound of a squirrel chattering, he got a little tense nowadays especially with them not knowing what they would possibly be dealing with. Eventually, the hellhound caught up to Arthur seeing the other flipping open the panel with his ears immediately perking up with interest and awe. Arthur was pretty smart and well, Lewis admired the other for it especially this. His eyes closed for a brief moment soon reopening them once he heard Arthur speaking once more about a couple building a castle but they didn't live.

Interesting.

The hellhound smirked a bit at Arthur's attempt at a spooky tone, he would stare at the panel for a moment only to speak nudging the feline with a paw of his "Well, there's only one way to find out and that's by going in to investigate." A house that was supposed to be a castle, he wondered what it would feel like living in a castle. He had seen plenty of castles back in his past life, nowadays, he didn't see as many unless they were abandoned or it came up on their panel. "How is the activity looking like, Arthur?" He asked wondering what they would be dealing with, the demonic entity would look down at his collar briefly staring at the silver chain that held onto a silver star. It had belonged to his former girlfriend and a rose was resting beside it. Two people he had been romantically involved with that were now gone. He blinked a moment then glanced over to Arthur a grin still on his maw.
