Ash sighs, slipping from his room, quite late at night. He hates it when he gets like this. He can't sleep, and it's almost like his skin itches with the need to move.
He is dressed in loose shorts and a tank top, as he tries to move quietly around the halls, until he knows he is away from the rooms, so hopefully won't disturb anyone.
Then he starts to move, to run. Being careful of furniture and anything else around, he moves. His awareness of his odd body combined with the natural feline grace turns the run into something wild, almost a mix or running, parkour, and martial arts as he just flows and climbs and bounces off of things.

At first it had been a very normal middle-of-the-night trek to the bathroom for Grace, until she heard in the distance the sounds of movement and of things being moved around. Deciding to go and investigate she moves over towards the source of the sound, only to find her classmate almost literally bouncing off the walls "Uhm... are you okay Ash?"

Lauren is sneaking out of his dorm room. He is wearing a pair of plaid pajama pants in purple and black. The t-shirt he's wearing which has Freddy Kruger on it and says, 'Never Give up on Your Dreams' he blinks at Ash going by almost colliding with the other boy.
"I guess I am the not the only one who can't sleep."

Ash stops dead, spinning to face them both, ears laid back for just a moment then blinks and his ears perk up as he quietly says, "Sorry, I didn't mean to bother anyone. Sometimes I can't sleep and I just need to move."

"I just couldn't sleep so I was going to sneak a snack down in the kitchen." He says shrugging, "I was already awake."

Ash tilts his head. "Oooh, snacks are good."
He looks around. "That seems like a really good idea"

Grace gives a little giggle and shrug at the idea "Well i'm up and awake now anyway..."
She motions for the boys to lead the way

Lauren is going to head down the stairs carefully, taking out his phone to use it as a flash light on the stairs rather than actually turning on any lights. "we want to be careful the familiar might be about."

Ash blinks a bit, stepping back from the light, his eyes glowing a bit reflectively in the light, then follows Law, his ears swiveling, listening for anything else.

Grace lowers her voice to barely above a whisper "Would we get in trouble for being out of bed like this?" as she follows the other two, keeping an eye out behind them

"I am not sure how strict the school is about this stuff." Law admits and turns off the light once he gets to the kitchen area so he can turn on the light there and they can hang out.

"Neither if you read the student rules or code of conduct?"
Ash grins. "Neither did I. Probably the worst we would get is told to go back to bed, I hope."
He starts looking around for snacks, mostly either left over meat or something sweet, his tail flicking happily.

"I guess... i kinda skimmed it.. don't think it's all that severe all in all... and it's not like we're up to anything too bad"
She will put on some water for tea to go with whatever Ash finds

"We are allowed a certain amount of wandering the halls at night for, personal needs, as long as we don;t sleep outside our dorms." Law says he did read the manual. He suspect that part means go to the bathroom but he's willing to stretch things. He is going to start making himself a sandwich.

A chill draft flows across the floor as Willow floats through the wall, a faint blue glow in the dark surrounding her transparent form. Her long white hair hangs down over her face and her arms are kept loose and limp. For a moment, Lauren could see his breath upon the light of his now flickering flashlight. "What's all the ruckus?" Came a tired voice from willow, sounding like a dissonant pairing of two of her voice just slightly out of sync.

"Well, some nights I have a strong personal need to move, and because of my metabolism, I have a hole in the space-time continuum where my tummy is supposed to be"
Ash grins and helps with the food, ears and tail flicking happily.

Despite being roommates, Grace isn't quite used to Willow's abilities just yet, so she jumps a little as she comes through the wall, spilling a little of the water which is thankfully still cold. "Hey Willow.. we're just having some midnight snacks and tea.. gonna join us?"

"Woah Willow...That is so creepy. It's awesome." Lauren says at first he was frightened but when he realizes who it is he smiles in a welcoming manner. "Oh man we need food that's for sure."

Ash blinks at Willow.
"I'm sorry, we didn't mean to be too loud. We give you the gifts of protein and sweets as apology?"

Willow lands on the floor, once again becoming opaque and smiles. Law's flashlight starts working properly again, but it still feels like someone decided to leave the refrigerator open with how much the room temperature dropped. "What do you have to eat?" She says calmly, brushing her black hair from her eyes.

"Uhm... i'm making tea.. and i think there's some crisps and peanuts as well.. i know that's really starch and not protein... but it counts, right?"

Lauren is going to take out some nuts and an apple. Then after that he will get a big bag of chips and look to the others to ask, look good?

Willow takes a bag of sour cream and onion chips and sits on the floor, eating them. As Law looked at her, she gave him a thumbs up.

Ash also offers any meat based leftovers to people, then sits down, adjusting a bit to account for his tail.
"So, do you guys have issues sleeping sometimes too, or is this odd for you?"

"Uhm i usually sleep fine, i just happened to be awake then i heard you... do you guys want some tea as well? It can help sleep if you need it..."
She reaches over the snatch some crisps from the bag Willow is holding with a giggle

Lauren will return the thumbs up and move to sit down. "I have insomnia some nights. I normally just watch stuff in bed." He admits.

"I fell asleep while drawing, then I woke up and couldn't fall asleep again. Then I heard a noise down hear and thought maybe someone else was up."
Willow sees Grace reach into her bag, but doesn't really mind. She takes one of the meat based leftovers from Ash, however.
"What's got you up and about, Ash?"

Ash sighs a bit.
"Some nights I just can't sleep. And sometimes on those nights, I can't sit still."
He pauses, pondering how to explain this.
"See first I have ADHD, pretty bad. But to add to that, I'm not just a boy who looks like a cat. I turned into a cat and never turned all the way back. It's not just appearance.
I'm an obligatory carnivore, I have to eat meat every day. I get the odd urge to scratch things with my claws sometimes and it feels good when I do. I have to remember not to headbutt people to get their attention, or rub my cheek on things I like...."
He sighs again, and looks down at his food.
"I'm just really weird."

Grace looks over at Ash when he tells his story "Sounds pretty rough Ash... Is there anything we can do to help you get a little more settled in?" the tone in her voice is a little worried for him, specially with how down he seems to be on himself
She does continue to make the tea though as she talks
