_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It was another rainy day in London. It wasn’t heavy rain but it was still present. The fog hadn’t really left either even though it wasn’t early morning anymore. To Neo, it just was another day filled with the chaos of finding out where the spider he had just seen in his kitchen had gone. It was bad enough when you could see them but when they disappear before you can get rid of them it’s just a hundred times worse. The worst thing was that he didn’t want to find it either but he kind of had to. “That’s the downside to living alone…” Neo mumbled to himself while biting his lower lip as he moved some cooking books to the side to check behind them - still, the spider was nowhere to be found. The panic was starting to give his body some weird tics and he was starting to doubt if he had ever seen a spider in the first place. After maybe fifteen minutes of searching a loud yelp mixed with an “aha!” suddenly broke the silence in the apartment. Not soon after a bump could be heard and the words “Yes! I got it but oh no, ew ew ew... god why is it green inside - that’s disgusting!”. Neo had finally found the spider and had used a rolled up newspaper as a weapon against the small arachnid. He quickly threw the newspaper in the bin and let out a heavy sigh. “Now where was I?” he ran a hand through his long white hair and looked around the apartment to maybe find a clue to what he was doing before the whole spider situation had happened. “Oh yeah! I was getting ready to head out” Neo had a big habit of talking to himself, even when he would be together with other people. “Right gotta change into the human form, then I have to find my coat…” the rest of what he had said turned in a mumble as he starts to walk over to his small walk-in-closet. When he got over there and opened the door he took a quick look at himself in the mirror. The pure white hair, the black eyes, two tails and the long ears with loads of earrings would be a sure giveaway for him being what he is - so, for now, they’d have to go. It didn’t take Neo long to change forms. He had gotten a lot better at it and could do the transformation to the human form in like one minute. Of course, he was way faster at getting into his demon form - that whole thing he could do in ten seconds if need be - granted it wouldn’t be painless but he would be battle ready. Neo looked into the mirror again - now with normal white skin, grey hair and fairly normal silver eyes. The tails were now gone, so were the long ears. Fangs had gotten a lot smaller as well and claws had turned into black painted nails. Neo turned around in front of the mirror a couple of times before finally saying “Yup, human disguise done~ Time to find that coat and head out”. It didn’t take him that long to find the black semi-long trenchcoat. He located his keys in the bowl on the small hallway table by the door. He quickly checked that he had his wallet and such on him before he headed out the door and locked it behind him.
It was still raining when Neo got to one of his favourite places to go to - a small cafe where you could bring books to read. The only thing Neo didn’t like about the place was that it would sometimes be a bit too crowded. He did what he always did, ordered a large glass of water without lemon. Because sadly even in this fantastic human form he still couldn’t enjoy a simple meal of real food. Neo had taken the spot by the big window so he could watch people walk by. He had of course also brought a book with him and it was his plan to stay here for some hours, just to kill time till he had work in the evening. A waitress came over with the water and Neo gave her a small smile as he took the cold glass from her hands. “Thank you sweety” he then said as he sat the cup on the table in front of him. The girl smiled back and quickly headed off. Neo took a small sip of the cold drink and decided to open the book he had with him. He kept his ears open though, noticing everything that was happening in the small cafe. You never knew what could happen in a city like London. So it was a good idea to be on your guard, even more, if you are a creature like Neo is...
