   This time, however, it’s a little different. Not that she’s aware of it. As per tradition, she’s elected to wear a pirate captain’s costume, complete with sword and even an eyepatch -- both of which are essentially glued to her body, and are very real.

   She’s standing on top of a cider stall, cider in one hand and sword in the other, waving her weapon almost frantically to push anyone back that dares try to get her down. Laughter echoes from the rooftop from none other than herself as more onlookers gather around to see what the commotion is about, some amused, but most annoyed, unable to purchase a drink with her guarding the place.

       ❝ Back ! Back, all of ye scallywags ! Take another step forward an’ ye’ll all be walkin’ the plank or my name isn’t Cap’n Chloe !  ❞

█ ▌♡ Ah, he could feel things getting worse by each day that passed, it was still manageable though. There was a thirst for blood that he was getting annoyed with, so much he left the house for a bit. He needed to be away from his husband for a bit just to clear his head, he may love him unconditionally but someone made him hungry when he was around him. There was still plenty to go in the town right now. There were plenty of food stalls, lots of cute games, people giving out candy and lots of scares to be had. It was relaxing, though the sun was a bit more bothersome to him then he was expecting it to be.

█ ▌♡ He decided it would probably be best to just get some food and sit down somewhere that was in the shade and hope that maybe the sun would go behind some clouds soon to allow him to explore farther or possibly just go home without feeling light-headed or agitated. He had gotten himself a simple drink and a funnel cake, it was nice as he sat down, but as he sat down he noticed a girl on her own. Something in him told him that she may be in the same boat as him... experiencing a strange transformation.

For a while now, it was as if every day stoked a fire inside of her. A desire that grew and grew filling her with passion, confidence and despite her best attempts to suppress it, the unquenchable fire of her passion could not be abated.

Eventually her steps took her back outside, her hat tipped low so that the shadow was hiding her features. It was the mystery, the danger, the suspense of not knowing who this dashingly handsome stranger was that stopped women mid-step and caused their hearts to skip a beat. Each pair of eyes that followed her as she swaggered towards the bar was electrifying and Pearl was absolutely reveling in the attention.

Smoothly, she slid into the open seat. Leaning into the bar, she nodded coolly at the woman who sad beside her as she raised one finger. “One leche, please.” Said without a hint of sarcasm.

With the glass of milk in hand, Pearl returned her attention towards the woman. Running her thumb below the rim of her hat, she lifted it upwards enough that her face was visible under the dim light and winked.

a carefree laugh erupts from his throat as he flies, weaving through the ashgue forest's trees; this was merely another area where he had wanted to visit to ensure that no one had the misfortune of getting lost or stranded in here. so far, so good; aside from the bountiful thieves that prowl the area, hawks has had scarce problems. there had been at least three groups of them thus far that he has had little issues with and they were all fairly simple minded; it took very little effort to get them to run around in circles whilst pursuing him and even less effort to trip and disorient them.

the moment he dubs it safe enough to land, he gently touches down toe first and brushes off the dirt from his sleeves; lifting his goggles to rest atop his head, he takes in a heavy breath before studying his surroundings. if he is correct in assuming, he should be close to the middle of the forest and he was nearing the end of his brief scout of this area; it fortunately appeared that many people chose to avoid this place due to the lurking dangers within it and the hero hadn't had anyone so far that appeared to be lost or in need of help.

in good spirits from today's results so far, he can't say he's too concerned anymore about running into anything too life-threatening around these parts; unlike soldiers, a lot of the thieves here did not carry guns and the beasts were simple enough to deal with on their own. promptly after hearing a sharp crack of a branch off in the near distance, his attention turned completely towards it; with it being too close by for comfort, he opts on calling out into the thicket.

" anyone out there? if you're another thief, i'd really think twice before trying to steal from me. "

After relaxing in the cafe for a little while, Kanon decides to stop by the mini mart! Well, more like she got there by accident, but still! It was rather cute, and she looks at what they’re selling. Looks like all the essentials... oh, and snacks! A lot of them, actually... wow. This place keeps surprising her by the second, it seems. 

“I should probably buy some items before checking out my apartment...”

That seems like the most logical course to take, anyways. Let’s see... milk, bread, some instant dinners... oh, and some cookies! To indulge herself, at least. However, once she reaches for the pack, another hand also reaches for them.

“Oh! S-Sorry, you can take those...!”
