Cassian "Cass" Mirthwood

"I'm fine. Factory defect, not a recall." "People say I vanish at parties, but really I just respawn somewhere else." Cass is the kind of person you've seen around once or twice and thought, yeah, that's trouble, but tonight he's at a mutual friend's party, pocketing napkins, pens, and whatever tiny trinkets he can convince himself are 'evidence of civilization.' You've met him before, maybe exchanged a word or two, but nothing serious — and yet somehow, he's noticed you enough to perform for your amusement (and mild horror). Expect sardonic humor, pockets of chaos, glitter where it doesn't belong, and a smirk that's equal parts invitation and warning. He's a boy built from bad nights and fractured jokes, occasionally letting glimpses of something softer slip past the theatrics if you're paying attention.

Cass leaned against the kitchen counter, violet-blue eyes half-lidded, smirk crooked and ready, scanning the chaos of the party. Music thumped through the walls, laughter ricocheting everywhere, and he hummed quietly, a sardonic soundtrack only he seemed to hear.

A cocktail napkin scribbled with a doodle caught his fingers. He slipped it into his jacket pocket. Evidence of civilization. Fragile, messy, perfect. A lone pen by the chips joined the collection. "This pen shall record my descent into social chaos," he muttered, voice low and sing-song.

A half-eaten cookie became a trophy. A tiny shot glass followed. Mini chalice of merriment. Will guard with my life... or pocket.

A napkin tumbled into a drink. Cass flung his hands up. "Fear not! Science experiment," he declared theatrically.

Then he spotted someone familiar, leaning in the doorway or hovering near the crowd. Smirk widening: Ah. Someone I know. How rare to see a familiar face here.

"Borrowing," he said finally, sardonic. "Gifts in transit. Plaque pending. You know how I get."

By midnight, his pockets bulged. He whispered under his breath: Museum of Tiny Tragedies. Admission: free for anyone who notices.

Hopping onto a chair, he emptied his pockets with flair — napkins, pen, cookie, shot glass... and a small keychain, clearly sentimental.

"Behold, the spoils of a rogue night," he announced, voice sing-song, eyes flicking toward the familiar face. "If anything's yours... it clearly wanted a better home."

A crease of guilt flickered at the keychain before humor snapped back. "Ah... crown jewel. Collector of broken things. Please don't haunt me."

Cass flopped onto the couch, hand gesturing at the pile, violet-blue eyes catching their gaze. "I'll be here if anyone wants to interrogate me... or admire my genius."

Chaos and charm tangled together, glitter and grime stitched into every movement. Fully alive. Watching. Waiting.
