RACKS     upon racks of clothes are before him and his persona. the more deep he goes into the rabbit hole the more ren thinks its time to get some disguises. the detective was on his tail since june - hell, it could be even before that! - and he doesn’t want recognition to ruin his plans. if he wants to gather some more information than this is the easiest solution.

To be honest, if you would ask any of his former companions like Amy or Rose or Sarah Jane, then they would be very surprised to see the Doctor in his state. No really, even if this incarnation of the Doctor was a bit...strange, they would not see him like this.

Like a...cat boy. Or a furry. Take your pick. It’s all good and dandy until you have cat senses on top of Time Lord senses. While he can handle a lot (and believe me, a lot is....a lot), having your senses amplified by god knows how much is a struggle. But the good Doctor is known for keeping his cool (sometimes) but right now? With all the ‘nyas’ he’s been meowing at and chasing balls of yarn? Not really.

“‘Scuse me outta my way sorry!!” He was chasing a ball of yarn that was rolling down the street...that was on fire...while the Doctor’s tails and ears on fire. There was a trail of fire leaving behind him (although strangely though, after 5 seconds they disappear). He didn’t see the person walking towards him as he was chasing after the flaming ball of yarn and--

The suckered arms on her head seemed to move on their own as Vanna manipulated the basic lock in her hands. She couldn’t explain it, but ever since she found herself here, she was vaguely aware that she received a boon to make the stay more habitable. Some part of the kid was adamant about uncovering this latent power, and so she closed her eyes and concentrated.

That’s how this works, right? If you concentrate hard enough, you unlock your power? Magic should really come with a manual.

It was fortunate that one of her new neighbors was available for the task, and even more so that the young man allowed her the use of his lock. The plate adorning the door identified him as either Arsène or Herlock, and he simply kept an enigmatic smile on his face as she worked.

With three minutes of effort, a subtle knocking sound was heard, and with it, the once closed lock seemed to open all on its own. Vanna’s eyes seemed to fill with wonder as she started to gush at the thief.

  “So. You don’t know me, I don’t know you. But what I do know is one thing.” He pauses, his serious, thoughtful expression brightening. “I mean, okay. I know more than one thing, I just mean in the context of this cool, kinda mysterious meeting we’re having here.” And then he’s back to serious, using the back of his hand as a barrier as he leans in closer - as if his mask doesn’t already make lip-reading impossible. “We gotta eat, you feel me? So here’s what I’m thinking.”

One of the supposedly magic temples that Varian comes upon has pools of water that are -- surprise, surprise -- also magical. People seeing things in the water sounds more like the result of some sort of hallucinogen than magic to him, but the city’s populace seems to assume anything strange is somehow linked to magic, and this is just another to add to the never-ending list. But either way, magic water does pique his interest -- not because he actually thinks it’s magical, but just out of curiosity of its composition, which is presumably abnormal in some way if all the talk of it being magical is anything to go by. He drops down in front of one of the pools and eyes it for a moment before pulling out an empty glass vial from the pocket on his apron and dipping it into the water. He then corks it and tucks the vial away again.

Is taking temple water illegal? It’s hard to say, really. In this kingdom, kidnapping people from elsewhere and barring them from leaving is apparently just fine, so whether taking the magic water is punishable or not is really anyone’s guess. Varian glances up and around briefly; he hasn’t been reprimanded for it, so either nobody cares or they’d not been looking. With an acquired sample in hand (or rather in pocket), he leaves. Outside, the sky is starting to burn bright orange as the sun sets. It’s somewhat blinding, actually -- and he trips on a loose stone, crashing to the ground with a yelp. The glass vial slides from his pocket and onto the ground and Varian pounces on it just a second too late to be unnoticed. There’s someone else before him who’s doubtlessly seen it and Varian’s not so far away from the temple that it couldn’t easily be linked back to that yet.

(...There were guards there. Maybe taking the magic water is illegal after all, who knows?)

Varian angles a look at the stranger, a sheepish, uncomfortable grin plastered upon his face.❝ Uhhh -- ha! Er, I-I was just -- um. I dropped something. ❞ A nervous chuckle. He’s clearly attempting to sound casual, but instead achieves something far more awkward. ❝ But, uh, it’s nuh-- it’s nothing. Not really. ❞

              Levi considered himself to be having a relatively normal day before this happened. Going out because a part of him knew he needed fresh air, checking out video games and running into a stranger which somehow became a relatively normal occurrence much to his displeasure. But this person... He claimed he was Arsène Lupin. Of course --- as an otaku Levi knew exactly who the book character was because of his various appearances in anime, manga, and video games. At some point he had even bothered to look into the character himself and this guy... Levi couldn’t say this guy really ‘ felt ’ like it.
