@niskaxcapel Niska had been nervous with excitement as the plane landed and she got into the bus. “The suburb where…” – and she had to speak no further. The driver knew precisely where to go and from the look on his face, she had not been the first to ask. Would it be crowded? Maybe there would be tourists? But the closer they came to her destination, the more her excitement turned into something darker. Passengers who overheard her conversation with the driver looked at her strangely, observantly, as if she had something that stood out. A kid poked her in the arm but before she could say anything, her mother dragged him away. Hopefully, they’re not all like this… The last bit of excitement faded when she finally did arrive at the suburb. She had deposited her suitcase in her near-empty flat, ready to go out and explore. Yet the neighbourhood was so… normal. The people who walked around were just like her. There was no magic, nothing extraordinary. Niska felt silly for thinking that the supernatural people would suddenly come out and act out of the ordinary when they had lived among the humans for so long. But what if…. they’re not real? “Oh, excuse me” Niska held her breath as she looked at the person she nearly bumped into. “Hey, before you go, do you know where the next shops are? For home stuff, you know, bed sheets, cutlery and so on?”
Violet loved living in a town where she could walk pretty much everywhere. It was great for the dogs, and she liked getting out of the house and walking, even in this humidity. So while Scott was busy with getting his music school going, she was going to get herself a cup of coffee, and maybe a couple puppichinos for the dogs who were for the most part behaving very well for their walk. Hades the husky was still a puppy, so every now and then it was funny to watch her Pomeranian, Wednesday, correct him.
They were in the middle of one of those corrections while Violet spoke to the dogs when she nearly ran into someone. "Oh- Oh I'm sorry," Violet apologized as she looked at the other girl and gave her a sheepish smile. When the new girl asked her about home goods kind of things Violet thought before giving a slight shrug. "I honestly just moved here this week," she explained. "Sorry, but I know where the coffee shop is, maybe we can walk that way and you'll see what you're looking for?" she suggested before offering her hand. "I'm Violet by the way, Violet Dinsmore. The dogs are Wednesday and Hades, Hades is the big hellion, and Wednesday's the little ball of fluff," she pointed to them each.
