Angelica felt a chill up her spine as they braved through the forest. Those eyes are so far away, but they feel right on the back of their heads.

"... Milady?"

"Yeah! I know! But we can deal with whoever that is later! We need to find Ms. Creechur and at least warn her!"

Phiona was no fool, but she was not easily distracted. The noticeable aging of the trees and foliage around her did little to distract her from her goal of finding Creechur.

knock.

knock, knock.

knock - knock, knock.

peppino tapped out his usual salutatory knock on the lid of the dumpster to indicate it was him. finally. after DAYS of keeping her in the dark. creecher had every right to tell him to kick rocks. some husband. there was a REASON all his relationships inevitably failed and why did he expect he would suddenly be fit to take care of anyone when he couldn't even take care of himself — ??

...

because of COURSE that plan couldn't backfire .

💀 — [ no manner of Creecher OR mistletoe could stop Cesare from crossing the threshold of his competitor's restaurant and doing something nefarious. he's cool with Creech, but her boyfriend(?) gets no mercy. he's especially inspired by the evidence that Sacchetti hasn't arrived yet. ] 

[ instead of being normal ( challenge: impossible, ) he behaves as if the tradition is INSURPASSABLE if he'd crossed beneath the mistletoe without a kiss. in THEORY, it would be very funny to kiss his rival's girlfriend. he breaks into a determined little jog, ] 

“ WHUP -- ! ” [ sorry, Creech. in the same manner a high - school boy slaps the upper frame of a door, the scrawny undead hops up to YOINK the sprig down. it's tossed back to her as he pushes backward through the door. ] 

“ What's my time? When's Romeo getting here? ” 

"Yes, Sir!"

Ophelia sprouts her wings to race towards Creech to get them to the door. Them, and their poor raccoons! They were probably exhausted!

"Creech?!"

She takes out her.... rather oversized teapot and launches a piping hot mixture that sends dozens of the raging duplicates in all directions in a mess of goop.

"Follow me!! We can take my door!!"

“ you DON’T want it?? “

@crvptd asked: ❛ You're joking, right? ❜ It's pizza time!

"Do I look like I'm foolin'!?"

Allison holds her bat firm in her hands, peaking around the corner. No sight of... whatever the hell that thing was. Hopefully she scared it off, but she'll be walking her staff to their cars tonight....

"It looked just like Peppino!! I don't know if it was a changeling or some kinda demon, but whatever it was, it wasn't friendly, I'll tell you that!"

"Ah haha.. hedgehog. Mm, that's..."

Cute. Nice, in a bittersweet way.

Liz used to call him that.
