"About....I'd say 6 years ago.. I came in touch with a rather persistent Crossroad Demon who took an interest in me. Probably knew what was coming in my life and decided to take advantage of it!" He chuckled as the inside of his gloves began nipping at his skin. "A couple shitty things happened in the span of a month and before I knew it, the fellow hired me on to work for him in exchange for.....well... you know" He snickered as he pointed at his chest. "Rather surprised I got thrown into this experiment, all things considered. Kinda hard to have a soulmate if you don't have a soul~! But hey, I'm not complaining!" The small group arrived at the designated ride, the enormous orange structure being an eyesore but Amil brushed it off. He leaned back on the railing as the line slowly made its way forward. "Not sure why you were interested! It's a boring story! So, are we going to wait patiently this time or rack up some points?" He gazed at Nace. Nace's walking slowed as a shiver went down his spine, watching Amil point to his chest and laugh about the whole matter as though something like this was a trifling matter. He felt numb as his partner continued to speak, words spilling out of his mouth that didn't seem to coherently form sentences anymore as the only part that meant anything resounded in his head as though it'd been screamed into a cavern: "...if you don't have a soul..." Nace stopped walking abruptly as the group entered the line, staying a bit back without actually entering. A couple of teenagers behind him seemed confused as they stared at the gap between Nace and the rest of the line, unsure if he was apart of it or not. One of them was reaching out to tap the brightly clad man on the shoulder when Nace finally erupted: "What the fucking hell is WRONG with you?" He suddenly walked briskly towards Amil, his teeth bared as he got right up in the other man's face. "I was trying to have one nice fucking day and then you go and say this load of bullshit. WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING AT SOMETHING LIKE THIS?! Do you think it's fucking funny?" He grabbed the railing on both sides of Amil, somehow pulling in even closer while still not touching him. "I may not believe in soul mates but I sure as hell won't be 'mates' with anyone who's WEAK enough to give up the one thing you can actually call your own." He released the bars and backed up a bit, tearing at his hair in pure frustration. He screamed so loud a few people just up and jumped over the bars, not wanting to wait in line if it meant getting in the cross fires of whatever was going on. Taking a large step forward, Nace lunged like he was going to hit Amil, stopped last second, and went back to screamed again. "WHY'D YOU HAVE TO RUIN THIS?!" He yelled, glaring at Amil like he'd just pulled out a gun and shot him. |

"I feel like that discourse was my fault though.... I shouldn't let my stupid nostalgia for a ride get the better of me... I'm a fuck up....." Galystris had already sat down next to Cheri, and greeted maicy. She listened to the spy speak, and all she did was shake her head. "Maicy, did you have any clue they were going to be there?" she inquired, cocking an eyebrow. "Because unless you intended to have them be there and to start a fight, the got angry on their own accords." Galystris knew she was absolute shit at dealing with feelings, but at least she knew blaming oneself would never do any good. It's easy. Just don't care about anyone. At all. ... Galystrirs felt her phone vibrate, and she'd assumed it was more bad news from Adrianne. She didn't want some news about Velanora's remains being discovered to ruin her day, so she was going to read the messages when she god home. {THE MESSAGES (and a little story) Warning: War and Death descriptions}Adrianne knew it had been a suicide mission. She’d known from the very beginning. Before she was let go to fight on land against the troops of the southern regions of the country, she sent her superior and longtime crush a text message. ADRIANNE:Galy
ADRIANNE: I’m gonna die out there.
ADRIANNE: But before I go, I want to let you know that I love you. I hope things go well for you in the future.
ADRIANNE:Goodbye.Adrianne laid her phone down on her side table next to her cot, and caught up with the rest of her group. She readied her gun, and joined the invasion. — After a long while of fighting, things were seemingly turning out well. She was confidently fighting, and with few wounds, thinking that maybe this would turn around. Suddenly a sharp pain shot through her chest, and Adrianne collapsed to the ground. “n…no….” she rasped out through her pain. Blood poured from the wound, and she felt her life flash before her eyes. She didn’t want to die, but she knew of all times, this would be the time she was most ready. “Sorry to leave you alone…” she whispered. Another bullet pierced her side, and she fell down completely on the ground. Conciousness faded, and the world seemed to go blank. Only seventeen… She wanted to live longer…but this was the fate of the infantry. As darkness crawled up through her vision and consumed her vision, and a smile crossed her face. Her pounding heartbeat slowed to a stop.  ------- "I...I thought I..." He swallowed loudly, clasping his hands into fists before getting out of the car, gesturing for Alraada to follow. "Let's do things together from now on," He whispered, a sullen tone in his voice, "I don't want to do anything where I have to face against you again." Yep, she opened can of worms number 306. An immediate rush of guilt hit her, and she averted her eyes. Why did she always have to make things bad for him, and then proceed to be angry that things were bad...? She was certain she was one of the worst and least emotionally supportive soulmates there. She'd had a certain philosophy of 'if you don't like it, man up', but that only seemed to work on her now. When she applied it to anyone else, she felt terrible. "Uh...yeah...is there anything you want to do? I don't particularly want to go on the really tall ones, they're kinda scary." she said quietly. She'd be bragging about how lame they were and how well she could handle them if she didn't You know Feel like shit. |

"Well Cyrus, I don't think it'd shock you to find out where my powers from. Hell, I'd say you already know.." He looked to the scientist, a devilish smirk on his face. "...given your partner's origins, that is~" He huffed as he scratched the back of his head. "About....I'd say 6 years ago.. I came in touch with a rather persistent Crossroad Demon who took an interest in me. Probably knew what was coming in my life and decided to take advantage of it!" He chuckled as the inside of his gloves began nipping at his skin. "A couple shitty things happened in the span of a month and before I knew it, the fellow hired me on to work for him in exchange for.....well...you know" He snickered as he pointed at his chest. "Rather surprised I got thrown into this experiment, all things considered. Kinda hard to have a soulmate if you don't have a soul~! But hey, I'm not complaining!" The small group arrived at the designated ride, the enormous orange structure being an eyesore but Amil brushed it off. He leaned back on the railing as the line slowly made its way forward. "Not sure why you were interested! It's a boring story! So, are we going to wait patiently this time or rack up some points?" He gazed at Nace. For some reason, the scientist was not too surprised by Amil's soullessness, whether due to the figurative irony or the fact that he'd been exposed to an exponential amount of demon activity within the past few days. Amil was certainly right, had he heard this story 5 or so days ago he would've been far more shocked than he was now. Although something still didn't sit right in his gut. Whether that was because of the fact that several religious concepts had now proven themselves to be real, or just the years and years of religious dogma pounded into his head that made him uncomfortable with the topics of the demonic he wasn't sure. 'Crossroad demon' however sounded rather Faustian in concept, and barely touching within the realm of his reality radar. Before he could even formulate some sort of intelligent response, the Highlighter came out swinging. "...if you don't have a soul..." Nace stopped walking abruptly as the group entered the line, staying a bit back without actually entering. A couple of teenagers behind him seemed confused as they stared at the gap between Nace and the rest of the line, unsure if he was apart of it or not. One of them was reaching out to tap the brightly clad man on the shoulder when Nace finally erupted: "What the fucking hell is WRONG with you?" He suddenly walked briskly towards Amil, his teeth bared as he got right up in the other man's face. "I was trying to have one nice fucking day and then you go and say this load of bullshit. WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING AT SOMETHING LIKE THIS?! Do you think it's fucking funny?" He grabbed the railing on both sides of Amil, somehow pulling in even closer while still not touching him. "I may not believe in soul mates but I sure as hell won't be 'mates' with anyone who's WEAK enough to give up the one thing you can actually call your own." He released the bars and backed up a bit, tearing at his hair in pure frustration. He screamed so loud a few people just up and jumped over the bars, not wanting to wait in line if it meant getting in the cross fires of whatever was going on. Taking a large step forward, Nace lunged like he was going to hit Amil, stopped last second, and went back to screamed again. "WHY'D YOU HAVE TO RUIN THIS?!" He yelled, glaring at Amil like he'd just pulled out a gun and shot him. Cyrus rolled his eyes, slipping without a word away from the pink team. This didn't even fit into the definition of "escalation". This was more like a goddamn explosion. He was just calming down from the earlier conflict, and like hell was he going to involve himself in some other couple's lover's quarrel. Sounds like Nace is some sort of religious nut too, but with his dated ideals I guess that's not surprising. He grimaced slighly as he continued to walk, sighing and pulling out his phone to glance at the clock once again. Well, at least he killed some time. His stomach sharply growled, causing the scientist to pause. Despite saying several times that he was going to go get lunch, those plans never fully materialized. Guess I'll head back towards the food kiosks? Cyrus glanced around, gathering his bearings before pausing as he noticed another familiar figure wandering around more frantically than he was. ...Alti?
The scientist's expression brightened a little before he called out, "Hey, Alti!", briskly walking over to his partner, jogging a couple steps before the other could wander off too far in the opposite direction. A mixture of relief, gladness and a hint of bitterness now graced his features as he closed the gap between the two of them. |

He yelled, glaring at Amil like he'd just pulled out a gun and shot him. Amil was in shock at his soulmate's sudden outburst, his heart sinking in his chest. This whole screaming fit was incredibly familiar, albeit for different reasons, but Amil simply stood there in silence as he glanced between the screaming man and their guest. The only thing he reacted to was Nace about to throw a punch, his gloves erupting into a sea of red eyes all locked on Nace. When Nace didn't go through with it, however, the eyes closed and Amil nearly fell over. The man grabbed onto the bar to support himself, looking around at the horrified faces before turning back towards Nace, a scowl on his face. "I don't have to explain anything to you." He finally regained his footing, standing up and meeting Nace's glare. "This was 6 years ago, Nace. If it was something i could just up and take back, I would've done that a long time ago." he spat. Amil slipped under the bar and faced Cyrus. "Sorry, Cyrus. Didn't think this interaction would go so poorly." He turned back to Nace, grimacing at him. "And I didn't ruin anything, you Elmo-looking fuck. You already KNEW I got my powers from demons. Why the hell does me not having a soul surprise you?" He rolled his eyes before turning away. "But you're right. It's MY fault. I won't ruin your day anymore." He began walking off into the park, fuming.
Aberdeen made their way over to the bumper cars and lone and behold, Maicy wasn't there. Vale and Alraada WERE there, although they seemed to be dealing with their own issues so Aberdeen didn't bother to ask if they knew where Maicy had run off to. They ran their fingers through their hair, trying to think where on earth their soulmate could've gone. Perhaps they went to sort things out with Cyrus and Viktor? Unlikely. Maicy had a habit of blaming herself, so she probably wasn't going to try and make amends. The fighter let out a sigh of annoyance as they glanced around the area. Maybe they went to a cafe or something? No, they just ate... Aberdeen grumbled to themself as they continued walking through the park, silently cursing themself for losing their temper. "Sure wish I got her phone number. That'd make this shit easy..." They muttered. |

Iksel looked away, avoiding Piami's gaze. He couldn't lie to her, it simply wasn't in his character to do so. But admitting the truth of last night's events was also something he aimed to avoid... but why? They weren't dating.
Then why did he go here with her today, buy those snacks for her, match his swimsuit to hers? That wasn't the effort we would put into somebody he was being forced to hang around with. Yet as the subject of exactly what his and Piami's relationship was, and what she meant to him gnawed at him a sea of pain and discomfort weighted a heavy pit in his stomach and choked his throat. 'Boyfriend,' 'girlfriend,' dating;' they were all words he never knew could hurt him until this very moment. Droplets formed among Iksel's thick lashes despite his best efforts to keep himself together. He was silent. -
"No Maicy, you're not a- um- you're not," Cheri affirmed, though blushing as they bumbled over avoiding vulgarity. They then turned to Galystris, taking in what their soulmate had said and pondering it. While her wording was on the cold side, what Galystris had said was true. Cheri nodded in agreement. "We can't control everything that happens, and I'm certain Aberdeen doesn't blame you just like neither of us do."

The scientist's expression brightened a little before he called out, "Hey, Alti!", briskly walking over to his partner, jogging a couple steps before the other could wander off too far in the opposite direction. A mixture of relief, gladness and a hint of bitterness now graced his features as he closed the gap between the two of them. His frantic pace having already built itself up to a panicked jog, Alti continued to trot through the park grounds, his mind split between finding his partner and figuring out what to say to him when they found each other. With his mind filled with a jumbled mess of botched, two-bit apologies and useless catalogs of blurred random faces he rushed past, it's no wonder he couldn't see his partner standing right there when he completed his jog past the very first roller coaster he ever rode. A familiar voice calling out his name stopped him dead in his tracks, a feeling of relief laced with his earlier guilt washing over him as he turned to face his soulmate. "Cyrus! You!... you're still!.... here!" he exclaimed, a bit out of breath from all the activity. He bent over and rested his hands on his knees to catch his breath, his mind already going to work on what to say next. He slowly lifted his head back up to face the scientist, cocking his head as he compared the look of exasperation he remembered seeing the man sport on his face earlier to the... relieved? one he had now, confused. "Are you... mad?" he inquired quite innocently. Not exactly his first choice for an "apology", but with hope this could lead him to finding one. |

Aberdeen wandered aimlessly around the park, making no headway when it came to finding their soulmate. Maybe Maicy went to the water park? They figured it was worth a shot to look there and began heading in that direction. As they were walking, however, something caught their eye inside of a cafe. Through the window, Aberdeen could see Maicy sitting with Cheri and Galy. The fighter grimaced at the sight of Cheri, a pit growing in their stomach as they remembered shouting at them at the beach. They sighed heavily as they opened the door to the cafe. "Hey, Maicy!" They shouted. "I'm back. Just had to...y'know." They began walking towards the table before stopping a few feet away. "Uh....we can go on more rides now, if you want." They scratched the back of their head, trying not to make eye contact with anyone.
Amil stomped through the park, furious with their 'soulmate' and his preaching. "I don't have to explain shit to him." He growled to himself. "If isn't gonna tell me anything, why should I bother coming clean to him!" He spat, in reference to the ring his flashy partner sported. The man stood still for a moment in the middle of the games section of the park as he pulled out his map. He looked for the little yellow dots, indicating designated smoking zones, before deciding on one closer to the entrance of the park. He wasn't planning on staying at this park any longer if he wasn't going to spend it with somebody else. The rides and games didn't interest him and he wasn't about to spend a fortune on food or souvenirs. He'd have much more fun in the city anyways, and maybe find some desperate asshole willing to make a contract with him. The man continued his stomping towards the entrance, making note of Alti and Aberdeen's reappearances, until he finally stopped at the smoke zone. He pulled the pack of cigarettes out from his leggings and tapped the box to his palm. "This date is fucking stupid." He grumbled as he opened the pack and grabbed the nearest smoke. He plopped it in his mouth as he placed the carton back in his leggings and removed a lighter, lighting the cigarette and taking a long drag. He exhaled through his nose, the smoke coming out along with it, as he looked around at the happy families and couples and leaned back against the wall.  |

Maicy looked up and Galystris and Cheri as she listen to the two speak. Both are right. The three(Mainly Aberdeen and Alti) got angry on their own terms and Aberdeen certianly is not blaming her for that discourse. She nodded. "You're right.... Sorry that you had to listen to my burdens...but..." She gave a bit of a smile. "Thank you for wanting to make me feel better." Maicy got surprised as she heard Aberdeen called to her. She looked over as they began walking towards the table she is sitting at. When they offered to go on more rides, she nodded and gave a bit of smile. "Sure" She stood from her seat at the table and looked other to the other contestants that listened to Maicy and said. "I'll be going right now. Thank you for listening and wanting to help out." She walked over to Aberdeen. She held on the their hand. "So, shall we get going to the bumper cars." As much as she felt a little better when talking with Cheri and Galystris, she still felt a little shaken up from the events.  -------- Giaile took a glance at inside the cafe. She sees the Maicy is talking with Cheri and Galystris. Maybe they'll handle it a lot better than Giaile did.. She also saw Aberdeen walking into the cafe. Took them long enough, where the hell were they? Before Giaile could observe anymore, she received a phone call. It's from a phone number she is unfamiliar with. Is it those shitty telemarketers. Regardless, she answered the phone {Giaile Phone Call Part 1}Giaile: Hello, who is this?
Jim: Um...Hey, Miss Sonya... this is Josh's friend, Jim.
Giaile: Oh right. The smart one, heheh.
Jim: Hahaha, yeah, you could say that again.
Giaile: Anyways why did you call? Are you curious about the soulmate experiment?
Jim: That's part of the reason why I called but also.........um.
Giaile: Hmm? Go ahead. Just spit it out.
Jim: Do you take applications for people who need jobs?
Giaile: Excuse me?
Jim: You see, Josh got the both of us fired because SOMEBODY decides to get high in the Sushi factory.
Giaile: Wow. How monumentally stupid.
Jim: (scoffs) Tell me about it... So, are you willing to get job offers....?
Jim: ..........Hello?
Jim: ............Miss Sonya?
And that moment, Giaile thought about it. She is wanting to get more people that are willing to be her backup when she is not around. The people from the company that she has connections with don't care for Piami. Maicy, even if she wants to help out, certainly couldn't because she's with Aberdeen in the experiment. Giaile realize that she couldn't just go up to a random stranger because this is Winsey Place, where people just want to have fun. She finally responds to Jim. " You and Josh got the job." {Giaile Phone Call Part 2}Jim: Really?! Ah, thank you, thank you so much!!
Giaile: Just make sure Josh doesn't screw it up.
Jim: Oh, I'll beat his ass if he does.
Giaile: Heheh, Anyways, I'll add your phone number to my contacts and text you the address to the hotel everyone, including myself, are staying at.
Jim: Oh. Ah.. good because, haha. Our time at the motel is almost up and we kinda don't have enough money to stay in another one.
Giaile: And it's Josh's fault.
Jim: Yup. Anyways, I'll see you soon.
Giaile: Til then. And with that, Giaile hung up the phone and text to Jim the address of the hotel. She felt more better about protecting Piami. ------------------------------------------------------------ Piami realized that Iksel isn't saying anything. Is he... too scared to say what went down?? She frowned as she said. "Are...Are you going to be okay?" |

"This was 6 years ago, Nace. If it was something i could just up and take back, I would've done that a long time ago." he spat. Amil slipped under the bar and faced Cyrus. "Sorry, Cyrus. Didn't think this interaction would go so poorly." He turned back to Nace, grimacing at him. "And I didn't ruin anything, you Elmo-looking fuck. You already KNEW I got my powers from demons. Why the hell does me not having a soul surprise you?" He rolled his eyes before turning away. "But you're right. It's MY fault. I won't ruin your day anymore." He began walking off into the park, fuming. Nace clenched both his hands, but was secretly grateful when Amil started to leave. He had half a mind to go after him and beat the ever living shit out of him, but instead he turned and kicked over a trashcan instead, startling the remaining civilians waiting in line for the ride. He stormed away and back to the food court restrooms, vanishing inside and locking the actual door instead of just cooping himself up in a single stall. He was far too pissed to allow anyone else in a confined space with him at the moment. Hitching up his shorts, he uncovered a hoister meant for concealing a gun, but where the weapon would normally be was a flask of rum. He angrily pulled it out, almost dropping it as he spun off the top and took a long swing of it. He almost put it back, but instead held it in his hands for a moment longer before taking another, larger drink. He moved to replace it once more, hands shaking. The flask found itself smashing against the bathroom mirror as Nace slumped to the floor, a puddle of alcohol forming at his feet as he stared at his broken reflection. "I'm more of an idiot than he is," He muttered, banging his head against the wall and glaring up at the ceiling. "This is what I get for trying to have a good time instead of figuring out what the hell was going on with him. Suppose history repeats itself." He examined his hand now that he was alone, slowly unwrapping the make-shift bandage. He winced, not from pain, but from the sight of the injury as his fingers came into view. The fourth finger was a ghastly shade of purple, slowly spreading up his palm. The black spidery veins continued to pulse beneath the skin. He tapped the gem lightly, as though that would make the ring let up, but of course it did nothing besides make it squirm a bit under the surface, making his insides crawl. He wrapped his hand back up after cleaning up the cloth and took a deep breath before unlocking the bathroom and re-entering the park.
Vale frowned beneath his mask, taking both of her hands into his and staring deeply into her eyes. He could see the guilt and concern there. She was blaming herself for his own short comings again. His hands moved up to her shoulders and held them firmly in place. "You did nothing wrong." He said with more conviction than he probably needed, his eyes moving over her face as he tried to examine her emotions. He suddenly leaned in, with no hesitation, and gave her a quick peck on the cheek. One that wasn't prompted by a silly game. He lingered next to her face a moment longer to whisper, "I'm sorry I'm such a wreck." Before pulling away with a large smile on his face and his hands on his hips. "LET'S GO PLAY SOME GAMES THEN, DARLING~! WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD RIDE SOME OF THESE DEATH TRAPS!" He proceeded to start cartwheeling towards the game section, stopping only for a moment while still in a hand stand position to gesture towards the games with his feet in the air. "Come come! Off we go!" |

"Cyrus! You!... you're still!.... here!" he exclaimed, a bit out of breath from all the activity. He bent over and rested his hands on his knees to catch his breath, his mind already going to work on what to say next. He slowly lifted his head back up to face the scientist, cocking his head as he compared the look of exasperation he remembered seeing the man sport on his face earlier to the... relieved? one he had now, confused. "Are you... mad?" he inquired quite innocently. Not exactly his first choice for an "apology", but with hope this could lead him to finding one. His partner's breathlessness and exhaustion immediately made Cyrus begin to question just how long Alti had been running around looking for him. 5 minutes? 15 minutes? 25 minutes? Should he have just stayed put by the Ferris wheel? Ah shit. A pang of guilt shot through the man's gut, adding yet another ingredient to the muddled and confusing cocktail of emotions he was experiencing. He'd thought he would be angrier or more disgruntled with Alti, but quite frankly he was mostly just relieved to see he'd returned. Th e scientist sighed and looked down at his soulmate, tilting his head. "Nah, not mad. But why'd you ditch me like that?" |

Maicy got surprised as she heard Aberdeen called to her. She looked over as they began walking towards the table she is sitting at. When they offered to go on more rides, she nodded and gave a bit of smile. "Sure" She stood from her seat at the table and looked other to the other contestants that listened to Maicy and said. "I'll be going right now. Thank you for listening and wanting to help out." She walked over to Aberdeen. She held on the their hand. "So, shall we get going to the bumper cars." As much as she felt a little better when talking with Cheri and Galystris, she still felt a little shaken up from the events. Aberdeen's aura flushed pink as Maicy took a hold of their hand, not expecting it after they'd acted like a complete ass in front of her. They looked over at Galy and Cheri before turning back towards Maicy. "Uh, y-yeah. Lets go." They walked out the door and began heading back towards the bumper cars they'd just walked off from. All the while, guilt continued building up in Aberdeen's chest. "Uh...I'm sorry I stormed off like that.." They finally said. "I....have a lot of trust issues, for obvious reasons. And after yesterday, I've been extremely on edge..." More like second day in. "Viktor pushed me over the edge today...but I shouldn't have ran off like that. I'm sorry." They looked down at the floor, kicking a rock across the walkway. The two made it over to the bumper car line, which Aberdeen hopped into and leaned against the pole. "Lets just...not talk about those two anymore today, okay? I don't wanna get made again.."
Amil burned through the cigarette, the death stick doing very little to calm his nerves. He began tapping his foot insistently. He removed the carton from his leggings once more, the box making an audible rattling due to his shaking hands until he chucked it away from him, the wind carrying the nearly empty box. The man slid down the wall and onto the floor, gripping at his head as he brought his legs closer to him. "I didn't do anything wrong! This isn't my fault! It's HIS! IT'S HIS DAMN FAULT!!" He began screaming, prompting several bystanders to glance over in worry or voyeuristic curiosity. "Its his fucking fault. If he'd just listened to my reasoning, none of this would have happened! I'd still have my soul! Hell, I wouldn't even be IN this project!! It's HIS fault!!" He muttered. "I didn't do anything wrong...." {Spoiler - Click to View}  |

Maicy lightly pats Aberdeen's back, in hopes that it will comfort them this time.
"Aberdeen, I understand why you were upset. So... don't feel bad for storming off. If anything, I felt like I'm the one at fault."
She looked down for a moment. There is a small part of her that still blames herself for what happen and she let the slipped out. Maicy turned to face Aberdeen.
"Hopefully, the rest of today will be fun."

Maicy turned to face Aberdeen. "Hopefully, the rest of today will be fun." Aberdeen ran their fingers through their hair as Maicy attempted to comfort them. Aberdeen remained quiet as their mind began racing. Is Alti going to say anything about the warehouse? How would the others react? What would Maicy or Cyrus think? Would they believe me if I told them Alti was lying? There's no proof, right? Aberdeen's began to breathe a bit heavier as they tried pushing these thoughts out of their mind. They'd deal with that situation if and when they had too. "Yeah, lets hope so." They muttered, shakily, as the line moved forward once the ride conductor let on a few more people. "Lets just avoid other couples for the day. No use starting any more drama.." |

Maicy can tell there's still something one Aberdeen's mind but maybe it's probably for the best to not ask. I don't want to make Aberdeen mad...
She nodded.
"It's probably for the best." She spoken softly

Nace immediately turned left and headed towards the women’s restroom, knocking angrily on the door with his good hand. He heard a few nervous gasps inside, confirming that people were in the interior. He banged harder until finally someone opened the door: a petite looking woman with worried creases around her eyes. There was a tinge of…something in Nace, seeing how frightened she appeared to be, but that feeling was smothered as the ring suddenly twisted so sharply he felt his finger dislocate.
“Get out!” He growled, his voice amplified by the unnatural pain in his hand. He pushed the door, hard, forcing the woman to back up. Her and her friend scurried out seconds later, the former covering her mouth as a nervous sob escaped her lips. Nace tried to pretend this didn’t bother him with an eye roll. He’d gotten a girl fired today. There was no reason to dwell on this moment.
Walking into the bathroom, he surveyed the area to make sure he didn’t see any lingering park-goers before gently unwrapping his hand once more. The black veins were all the way up his arm now, slipping up into his shoulder. It was only a matter of time before it would reach his heart.
He should have acted sooner. It was stupid to wait this long.
“Oy!” He called into the bathroom, feeling like a complete idiot. This rarely worked, but it was a place to start and was better than just wandering into crowds and wasting the power of the ring on pure guesswork. “If you’re in here, I’ll give you a few seconds to come out and make things easy. Otherwise, I’m gonna kick your ass before I kill you.” He noticed a bathroom door move gently, felt a gust of wind on his shoulder, and immediately slammed the door shut behind him and locked it. He activated the gem.
A teenage boy looking around seventeen with greasy blond hair suddenly appeared out of thin air, his hand reaching towards the handle Nace’s palm was currently covering. Nace wasn’t surprised it was someone so young he’d caught. It usually was with Cloaks.
“P-Please,” The boy whispered, “I-I’m sorry, I won’t do it again, promise--.”
Nace waved a hand dismissively, silencing the child with a simple gesture. “Yeah yeah, I don’t care about your pervy use of your power. What I care about is that you have one.” He pushed the boy hard, causing him to stumble and lose his footing. He was scrunching up his eyes, his face turning red from concentration. “You can’t hide while I’m here, stop wasting the effort.” Nace placed a boot over the teen’s chest, forcing him to stay down. “I’d say I’m sorry about this, but it always comes down to you or me in this situation, and I hate to say it but I’m not sorry for picking me.” He thrust his damaged hand forward, and with surprising strength, went completely through the boy’s chest cavity. The teenager’s eyes went wide as he gasped for breath, his face turning a ghastly white before the black veins that had been seeping under Nace’s skin slowly receded, pooling into the other’s body. In a matter of moments, the corpse designated into nothing, leaving only his clothes behind. Nace’s foot sank into the t-shirt, hitting the hard pavement below.
“You happy?” He growled, twisting the ring back into place. It fit loosely now, all injuries it had caused completely gone. Nace clenched and unclenched his fist, rubbing the gem. It vibrated like a cat purring.
Nace gathered up the clothes and walked over the one of the toilets, shoving it behind where it might be overlooked for a while. “Looks like I lost the competition,” He muttered. Too bad Amil wasn't around to see it.
He exited the bathroom, whistling to himself. His face twisted up for a moment as he looked down at the hand that had just murdered a child. “Gross, I should’ve washed up.”
