As me and Serne start to lurk in the streets, he asks me a question, “What is your name?”

  I look at him, this is embarrassing. We didn’t introduce each other, I knew his name, but he didn’t mine. Also, what should I tell him? If I tell him Aster, maybe people could track down the little me!

  I have to come up with something quick, “Uhh… you don’t need to know that… one like me has no need for a name!”

  He gives me a look. In the past few minutes, he has been getting to know me better. Serne and likely seen that I’m not all that serious.

  He asks me, “mind if I give you one?”

  Huh… what?

  He wants to name me? Why? No, I’ll come up with one!

  I tell him, “don’t, let me come up with one.”

  Hmm…

  What type of name?

  What do I see?

  A city?

  Change it a little, you get cyti. Sounds like cite-e, and if you remove the e it sounds like sight!

  That’s a terrible name. I need to come up with something better.

  Asterion, Astery, Asterio, Asterios? Yes, Asterios.

  Close to Aster, but far enough to not lead back to myself.

  I tell Serne, “Asterios, is that good enough?”

  He looks at me, smiles in a creepy way(with the disguise it’s quite terrible looking), and says “no”.

  I just reply, “Whatever”.

  This situation makes me wonder if there is a holiday like halloween. Maybe I’ll ask him ter?

  As we near a few people, me and Serne get into position. We are in a somewhat narrow street, it isn’t a residential area, so less people will be here.

  It is easy to hide in the darkness, this world has far less lights in the streets compared to earth.

  As the one closest to me nears, I open my eyes, and start to make growling noises.

  They look at me, they don’t scream, but say, “you know you shouldn’t do that. It’s a crime and considered harassment.”

  I continue growling, and they take out something simir to pepper spray, and then spray me.

  I yell “AHH” when they do.

  I decide to switch to my outside view to see what they do.

  I continue to rub my eyes and make it worse, they shine a light on me and say, “that’s quite a good costume” they add, “your fur is orange, so you look like a fox, or like a demon.”

  One of the others comes up and says, “his eyes glow in the dark, sooo scary” while he rolls his eyes.

  This situation is going terrible, so I project, clear on my eyes. I blink and look at them, and pull my face into a snarl.

  My actions so far have been… cringy, might as well commit!

  I decide to scare them by making hands come out of my body, along with some from the floor.

  These are not beastkin hands, they are human, so they are thin, strange and hairless to them.

  They squeal and scream, and I say, “I am your worst nightmare.”

  They start to cry.

  This is just mean!

  Why am I doing this. This seemed like a fun activity when I thought of it, but…

  This is just kind of screwed up.

  I’m just scaring them, so I take away the hands and say, “sorry” while looking them all in their eyes.

  They continue to yell, and then run when they are free.

  I look at Serne who has just been silently watching, and say, “I dont like this.”

  This is not the kind of person I want to be, why did I do this.

  At least I didn’t go too far, other than scaring the shit out of some random people.
