These rocky shores are either being ravaged by icy, relentless wind, or coated in a thick layer of fog that is only broken by the magical barrier that is perfectly outlined by the mist that would normally have made a great cover for escape, almost mocking the prisoners by making it clear that escape is impossible. On days when the fog isn't thick, the outside world can be spotted beyond the magical barrier.

Bernard stepped onto the mist-filled shore, sighing in a voice that echoed around his mask as he looked out upon the fog-coated water. This was...peaceful, if not a bit depressing. The water was right there--if that barrier wasn't there, he could just dive into the water and leave this place...but no dice there. He sat down on some driftwood on the beach, being careful not to sit on his coat, then looked out towards the water for a little while. At times like this, back before he was brought here, sitting in a place like this, he would've liked to listen to some music and relax or something--but no dice there, either. The chances of getting any sort of MP3 player on this island was just about zero. Feeling a bit more melancholy, he began to sing to hum to himself to try to cheer himself up a bit, observing the rocks that lay litered across the shore--eventually quietly singing the words of the song he'd been humming to himself, "Somewhere, beyond the sea...somewhere, waitin' for me...my lover stands on golden sands and watches the ships that go sailin'..."He was beginning to feel a slight bit better--it was pretty peaceful out there. At least he was able to come out to the shore like this--it was much more relaxing than being cooped up in that box of a prison the entire time.
☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂ Onichou grinned giddily as he held the MP3 player in his hands. It was an iPod Classic Nano, and somehow he also snatched a pair of earphones that he made sure to clean out with some guard's bottled water. He managed to get his hands on the player by distracting the guards and sneaking into their office, and thank god they had some taste in music. He scrolled down the list of songs, trying to spot a song he'd be familiar with-- before he was stopped upon hearing a faint singing voice. The onibi looked around to find the source of the voice, before his eyes finally landed on a male sitting on some driftwood staring out into the sea. He quieted his steps as he walked over to him, opening his mouth to sing along. "Somewhere, beyond the sea. She's there, watchin' for me~ If I could fly like birds on high, then straight to her arms~ I'd go sailin~" he sang with him, and popped up from his side, bending over and smiling at the masked male. "Do you like Bobby Darin too?" he asked in this mild and sweet tone, holding the MP3 player close to his chest with both hands but still making sure to let him see it.

Bernard was letting himself feel a bit melancholy as he relaxed there--until suddenly he heard another voice singing along with him, and froze. He looked over at Onichou, his mouth falling open in surprise, though it'd be impossible to see anyway under his mask--what was visible, though, was his face becoming bright red in embarrassment over someone actually having heard him. He hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded in response to Onichou's question, actually pretty surprised once he got another look at the guy--honestly, he looked way too kind to be here, which kindled a sort of worry in Bernard. His uncovered eye darted to the MP3 player momentarily--where had he gotten that? Did he steal it from one of the guards? Bernard wished that he had that kind of motivation...After a moment, though, he noticed something--he was actually late for his fight that had been scheduled later that day. That was...bad. As much as he didn't want to go. He stood up, then hurriedly and awkwardly spoke to the new arrival, "H-Hey, uh--sorry about this, I don't wanna ditch you but I'm kinda--yeah--I've gotta go fight and stuff--? I'll come back here after--!"Still feeling sufficiently awkward, he quickly began making his way back to the theater--glancing back at Onichou as he went. Who was that guy? He was actually curious now...
☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂ "Omg, that's great! I do too." he told him, smile widening and opening his mouth again before the masked male jumped up and excused himself for his fight. "Ooh..." he let the sound out for a moment, looking briefly saddened before he went back to his smile, nodding as he spoke and giving him a large wave as he ran off. "Have fun!" he cupped his mouth with one hand as he spoke, dropping them back to his sides once he was out of sight. The onibi then looked down at the piece of driftwood masky was sitting on, and his eyes trailed off to a plank near it-- taking it and setting it next to the other one, plopping his bottom down on it. "Better wait, then." he muttered-- after all, he said he was gonna come back here after, it wouldn't hurt to wait while listening to music, would it? He plugged the earphones into the jack of the MP3 player and put the speakers in his ear, scrolling through its list before he landed on a song and started to wait.

Well--that match hadn't gone anything like what Bernard would have liked. However...he wasn't really sure what he would have wanted either way. He didn't like those fights. And now, he felt even worse about them than before--now that he had been able to clear his head and think about it a bit--there had clearly been funny business going on back there. He sighed, rubbing at his face where his opponent had kissed him, then looked down at his chest--just glad that blood stains disappeared when you regenerated. He would have probably died a bit inside if this suit had gotten messed up--it was one of his best---or, rather, at this point, his only clothing article--and if he was going to be wearing clothes, he at least wanted to be looking sharp. Blood stains wouldn't help that. He paused for a moment as he approached the shore again, peeking around a tree out to the beach--and seeing that the young man who'd approached him before was, in fact, still there. Bernard was actually pretty surprised at that. He just hoped that the guy hadn't seen his match somehow... He hesitated for a moment, then fixed his hair a bit before moving forward and sitting down where he'd been sitting before, looking at the bluenette and hoping to get his attention by quietly speaking, "Hey, uh...sorry that took so long. Or--well, I guess it wasn't actually too long..."
☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂ Onichou swayed his head to the beat of the new song that played, also quietly singing along. Now that he had his hands on a music player, it honestly felt so much more comforting. The volume was put a bit on low, so he could hear masky just in case. When he suddenly heard his voice, he looked over to his side, with a juvenile smile. "Oh, it's fine! Like you said, it wasn't that long." he said cheerfully, pausing the song and removing the earphones. Onichou simply looked at male for a bit, before he spoke up. "Hey, I never introduced myself, yeah?" he had asked rhetorically, "My name's Onichou, but you can call me Oni for short." he introduced himself, bowing slightly with his head through force of habit, and then taking a nail-painted hand out for him to shake. "And you are?"

Bernard was honestly surprised by Onichou's straightforward nature and introduction. He paused for a moment, looking at the hand that had been offered to him. He still had some leftover anxiety from the fight, so, as he looked at the offered hand, he ended up worrying about it far more than usual--could he even talk to this guy? Would his voice freak him out? Would him even being there freak this guy out? He managed to swallow his fears and took Oni's hand, giving it a shake and offering up a weak smile, though the bluenette wouldn't have been able to see it anyway, as he replied, "...Bernard. I'm Bernard. Uh--hi. Sorry, I'm--not so good with introductions. I haven't actually done one in a while..."
☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂ Onichou grinned once he took the hand and shook it-- the masked male introducing himself as Bernard. When he had said he wasn't good at introductions, Onichou chuckled lightly, letting go of his hand and giving him a cheery thumbs up with both hands. "That's fine! Your introduction was great for someone who hadn't done one in a while." he reassured, "I hadn't done one in a while myself. I was too busy trying to steal the MP3 player and downloading songs onto it-- too bad I didn't get much." he looked a bit disappointed at the end, but nonetheless happy. He was a bit relieved that his older brother wasn't here though-- he probably would've scared Bernard off. Onichou looked at Bernard, staring into his pale green-blue eyes with his own indigo eyes. "You have pretty eyes." he said, complimenting the Deep One, "They're such a nice color." the onibi thought maybe the compliments would help a bit-- though it probably wouldn't. He continued staring at him for a bit, and looked at the MP3 player, then back at him.
"Ah! Hey-- do you wanna listen to some music with me? I have some nice house and chill tracks on here. There are some good jazz ones too." with that said, he took one earphone out-- but first cleaned it with his sleeve, and then handed it out, tilting his head and awaiting his response.

"Still pretty impressive that you managed to swipe that thing in the first place..."Bernard murmured as Onichou talked about getting the MP3 player--he spoke quietly, as if nervous about raising his voice. He was actually talking to someone normally for once, and he wasn't about to let his stupid creepy fish voice problems get in the way of that. In fact, he was so distracted by trying to make his voice not creepy that he was caught completely off-guard by Oni's compliment. His eyebrows rose and he stared at the bluenette for a moment before actually registering what he'd said and seeming surprised. Nobody had actually complimented his appearance in--well--years. Probably not since he was a kid. And because of that, Bernard really wasn't sure how to reply. He desperately tried to think of an answer, and eventually came up with a lame and clearly bashful,"You...too?"gOD THAT SOUNDED LAME. And Bernard knew it sounded lame, which only seemed to make him further embarrassed, letting out a nervous laugh--however, at the mention of music, he seemed to chill out a bit. In fact, he seemed excited at the prospect of getting to listen to music again--it had been quite a long time since he'd gotten the chance. He smiled, his expression showing somewhat in his exposed eye as he took the headphone offered to him and stuck it into his right ear, which luckily wasn't covered up by the barnacle-coated mask on the other side of his head."This is so crazy--it's been forever since I've even seen one of these things--you're not gonna get in trouble for this, right? After all, after today, I'm pretty sure that damned Director just does whatever he can to make everyone suffer, you know?"He let out a quiet sigh--he still couldn't let go of that match from earlier. It was still bugging him...
☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂ Onichou looked at him as he asked the questions, cursing the director at the end. The bluenette raised an eyebrow, and then smiled-- shaking his head. "Nope! I'm pretty sure other Horrors also steal stuff from the office and don't get in trouble with it. It's really only the guards who are bothered by it, after all, it's their stuff getting stolen." he laughed a bit at the end, "Like, there's this pair of Horrors I see around the office always stealing comics-- I'm pretty sure they have a good pile by now. They don't get in trouble with the director directly." he mentioned, giving him a good reassuring smile. He looked at the wire of two earphones, and moved closer to Bernard, as to avoid pulling on it too much. He was close enough that their shoulders were barely touching. "Alright! I guess I'll...play this one." he muttered, stopping on one and pressing play-- the music filling his ear joyfully. "This one's great." he commented-- and then looked over at Bernard. "Hey-- has it really been a while since you've seen one of these guys?" he asked, holding up the MP3 player.
He chuckled a bit, still smiling gleefully. "Jeez, then you didn't think of ever stealing something from them?" he had asked rhetorically, "You really are missing out on a lot then, you can get a lot of stuff from there. Like books, or food, or even guys like this if you're lucky." the bluenette mentioned the music player. "Why don't you come along with me next time I go there?"

Robin had been meandering the Island after his fun in Nirha's match, she'd ran off before he could even get a word in to her which disappointed the Wendigo a little bit. However his thoughts were quickly dashed aside as he strolled past the shore and saw someone he recognized right away'Well, well...what do we have here?'he thought to himself as he saw the two get a little closer to listen to music. A wicked smirk crossed his features as a thought crossed his mind'My little morsel...so calm...so at ease...so....vulnerable...'so with the stealth that he naturally had as a Wendigo, Robin sneaked over to the duo silently and lowered himself and gently tugged the earphone out of Bernard'd uncovered ear and whispered into his ear with a tone dripping with cold touch"Well hello again...my little Morsel..."he whispered again with an evil smirk on his face. He was wondering what kind of reaction that he'd get...fear?...anger?...aggression? Robin was hoping it was a mix of all three personally.

Bernard looked to Onichou curiously as he explained that several horrors actually went in and stole stuff from the guard's office. Bernard didn't actually hang out indoors too much, so he hadn't really seen that, but it did intrigue him... As Onichou moved closer, touching their shoulders together, Bernard took a moment to try to consider whether this was flirting or not--and either way, he didn't really mind. The music was calming him down considerably, and he looked to Onichou and smiled, speaking up again, “You’ve got some really good taste in music, you know.”He paused for a moment just to listen to the music, up until Onichou asked him if he’d ever considered stealing anything from the guards before, and he shook his head. Honestly, it hadn’t really crossed his mind. And then Onichou suggested that Bernard come with him the next time—and he couldn’t deny that it definitely piqued his interest. In fact, he was about to answer—when suddenly Robin happened. As Bernard heard the wendigo’s voice, he felt a chill go down his spine, jolting from being startled and quite literally wheeling around in his seat and throwing a punch in Robin’s general direction before standing up and backing away from him, glaring daggers at the wendigo.“Alright, a*****e, what’s your damage?! The fight’s over! You weren’t even supposed to be there, and now you think you have the right to follow me around or something—?! I don’t care who put you up to this s**t, just beat it!”

Robin simply remained stationary as Bernard punched him square in the face, however Robin's smirk didn't leave his face for even a moment before he stood to full height and threw his head back and barked with a mocking laughter for a few moments before giving Bernard a wicked smirk"Touchy, touchy!"he laughed again as he eyed Bernard up and down"I'll have you know I was actually looking for Nirha but I found you instead so truthfully our meeting here must have been...a mere coincidence!"he paused with a smug look on his face as a VERY familiar hungry look crossed his eyes"But...since I found you I was just wondering..."Robin promptly took a step forward, pretty much ignoring the Blunettes existence"Were we dat scawy?"he asked in a mocking baby talk voice"I do hope we didn't terrify you THAT much, you seemed just so....mortified during the fight..."at this point Robin was just mocking Bernard, hoping he'd get a rise out of him since Robin was one of those people who LOVED playing with their food.
☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂ Onichou eagerly waited for the masked-males responses, but was unfortunately interrupted by the appearance of some creep who whispered into the ear of Bernard-- making him jump up and curse at the male. He watched the wendigo reply back, mocking Bernard pretty badly. Onichou was pretty confused-- but judging by the way Bernard spoke to him, it was likely that the creep was his opponent from his fight earlier. And it seemed like he didn't really enjoy this guy's company, so Onichou's first thing to do was try and stop him. His blue-indigo eyes turned icy and the bluenette held up his hand, turning into a blue flame and aiming it directly at the wendigo. "Hey ********, didn't the guy tell you the fight was ********' over? Beat it, you little s**t." he demanded in a cold tone, grabbing Bernard by the hand and pulling him close. "This one's mine right now. I bet you already had a bite of him in your match, don't be greedy." he said sternly, gripping the male's hand firmly while his flamed hand flickered and grew stronger-- reacting to the threat.
