Marika strode down the hallway, banging on each door. "Get out here everybody! It's time to go!" She was dressed in a frillier version of her usual outfit, with lace at the ends of her sleeves and a ruffled bow tie. Behind her, Yuu was clad in a black tee-shirt decorated with fanged flowers and jeans. They were more comfortable than her uniform and less revealing than her kimono, but she was still worried about it. If she had to fight, her flames would burn it away in an instant. Behind, the other dolls were emerging from their rooms. Cassandra gleefully skipped, tripping and falling in the hallway before getting up and skipping again. "We're going outside!" She chanted, over and over.

Kicking open her door, Ash leaps out of the room, striking a pose as the orange-haired doll lands on the ground. "It's about time! It's time for the world to finally see true perfection...me!" Ash boasts. She wore bright orange miniskirt and a black tank top, a tiny orange sleeveless coat placed around it. Her long orange hair was tied behind her head, flowing down like a shining orange stream. After hearing that they were going outside today for the first time, Ash had spent the entire morning admiring herself in the mirror, making sure there were zero blemishes on her 'perfect' body. Spotting Marika, Yuu and Cassandra walking away, Ash frowns her face slightly and flings open a door down the hall. "Hey! It's time to go!" She yells.
Instantly, the sound of a loud 'boom' could be heard, followed by a few smaller, rhythmic but harsh sounds that seemed almost alien in nature. The sounds stop after a few seconds, as a purple-haired person looked annoyed at Ash entering it's room. "Time to go already? Guess I'll just work on this later." The doll states, taking off his headphones and switching off the machines. "Yes! Come on already, I have people that need to see me!" Ash says as she leaves the room. Haven only chuckles, fixing her hair to get rid of the headphone crease. Haven had short purple hair, only going down to the doll's neck. He wore a black and purple sleeveless shirt and black baggy pants, a pair of purple sunglasses over her eyes. Haven's appearance would seem rather odd to an onlooker, as they'd have a hard time determining what gender he exactly was. She had a slightly muscular chest and arms fitting for a man, but a skinny waist and legs fitting for a woman, and his haircut didn't give much away either. In truth, Haven was made up of both female and male parts, so he just considers herself to be both genders at once. Stretching his arms, Haven walks out of his room and begins following Ash.
"I don't give a shit! Leave me alone!" A loud voice voice boomed from a room on the far hallway, followed by the door slamming. This wasn't going to be easy.

Jane happily hugged the sweater she had been allowed to her chest. Real clothes! She was thrilled to put it and her new sweats over the glorified swimsuit she had been forced into before now. She liked the cute bubble pattern, but she'd wear these if they were diarrhea colored. Hell, she'd wear them if they were diarrhea covered. At least she was covered up. It was wonderful enough to quell her fears about going outside. She had never been outside, but she, like all dolls, had fragmentary knowledge from Marika, and she knew there were dogs, strangers, and monsters outside. She bounced out the door with a cautious smile, nervously playing with her feathered blue hair. "I'm ready!" She squeaked.
Patches sat in a room of yellow tile on a shredded mattress. Her iron bedframe was twisted and damaged behind her, a showerhead on the opposite wall. Shelves lined the walls, currently empty. Not for long. The gray woman stretched when she was called, extending till her string stretched, opening gaps in her parts, then pulled tight again to keep her together. "So am I, sis. Think we've got partners this trip?" She grinned at Jane when she saw her outside. The tiny girl whimpered and hid behind Haven. "Knock it off, you little pants pisser! And you! Get some clothes on, you whore!"
Patches glanced down like she had forgotten she was naked. "Oh, must I? I won't be needing them." "CLOTHES! WHORE!" Patches ducked back in, snickering while Jane continued to cling to Haven, shuddering.
In a white room, Martha paced. So much energy, all the time. No outlet. Constant confinement in this house, couldn't run or play. She would have lost her mind if this had gone on any longer. Thank God they were getting outside. Unlike Jane, she was happy with her bare midriff. She was going to need some exposed skin to keep herself cool when running around. She charged out of her room like it was a race and Marika's call was the starting gun. "Ready! Let's go! Come on!" She was so full of pent-up energy she felt like jogging in place until they got out.
Marika glanced at those who were gathered and glared at Cadence's door. "Cadence! Open the door with your head and get out here! You can fix it when we get back!"

Haven glared at Patches as he hugged Jane slightly, keeping her away from the psychotic doll. "It's alright Jane, you don't have to be around her. How about you and I hang out for today?" Haven didn't know what exactly to do on the outside, but if Marika was finally letting them wander around without her after this, she's begin to work on her music career. There were already a few tracks he was working on, and getting shows to play at would be her top priority.
A loud bashing sound could be heard coming from Cadence's door, and soon the door swung open, Cadence giving a deathly glare at Marika. So much rage, so little outlets to unleash it upon. Especially the rage against her bitch of a creator. Going as slow as possible, Cadence joins the group eventually.
"Great, we're all here! Let's go already!" An enthusiastic Ash proclaims, intentionally forgetting that Patches existed and was putting on an outfit in her room. She just wanted to go already!

Jane happily hugged Haven, although she still shuddered with excitement and anxiety. "Thanks." She gave Patches a fearful stare as she returned from her room in a gray dress and bonnet puritans would call conservative. "This good, your highness?" Patches sneered. "It's perfect." Marika beamed. Martha walked over to Cadence to check on her head as Marika turned to the wall, single door waiting for her. With grandiose gesturing, she flung it open, showing her creations the outside world.
They stood in a dark back alley, sheltered from the street by a bend. Cassandra started mumbling "ew" over and over in response to the dumpster in the alley. The dolls glanced around at their surroundings as Marika lead them around the corner. Outside of the alley, it was a mostly sunny day, light bouncing off the storefront windows blinding to the dolls who hadn't been outside before. "So, what do you all think?" Marika asked her little troop.

Leaping out into the sunlight, Ash strikes a pose...but nobody was there to see it besides Marika and the other dolls. Frowning, Ash stands back up normally, walking out to the front of the group to be the first one to see other people. Haven was much more relaxed, wearing a pair of purple sunglasses that protected his eyes from the sun. So this was what the sun was like, huh? It was much brighter than the artificial lighting inside the Kaspa.
"Fucking shit on a brick!" Cadence roars as she summons a leaf umbrella to her hands, which she then uses to block the sun out of her face. While it did feel nice on her plant/human hybrid body, the rays were a little jarring to see for the first time after being kept inside for so long. With the sun finally out of her face, Cadence continued to glare at her surroundings. What the fuck was this shit? Everything smelled like shit, the sun hurt her eyes, there were disgusting little bugs scurrying around the floor...is this really what being outside is like? What a shitty world.
"Ok, great, this place smells like crap. Let's see the people already!" Ash calls back to them, visibly twitching, wanting to move on already without having Marika call her back if she got too far ahead.

Jane immediately clung tighter to Haven when they exited the kaspa. She wasn't sure what she was expecting, but this was dark and grimy. She only reluctantly stepped away when they turned the corner and were confronted by glaring light. "Oh no, I'm going to burn!" She looked at her pale skin with dismay. Marika glared at her. "We're going to have fun! No whining! You're covered neck to toe anyway." Patches loomed overhead. "I can apply some sunscreen if you want." "Eep!" Jane clung to Haven once more. She was rightly horrified of Patches.
Martha on the other hand took out of the alley with as much enthusiasm as Ash. Now this was more like it. The sun felt great on her skin, warm and inviting. The grass, something she had only known from Marika's memory, called her to cavort about on its blades. She just wanted to charge about every which way and not stop until she collapsed. She only stopped herself from charging off to glare at Patches, getting between her and Jane. The grey girl looked excited. There was no way that was a good sign.

Getting in between Jane and Patches also, Haven glared at the grey doll. "Ground rule; stay away from Jane. We all know you're a monster, and I won't allow you to harm her." Haven said with an authoritative tone. He wasn't about to let Patches do something to Jane on their first day outside. Cadence merely ignored the others, focusing on adjusting her eyes to the sunlight and keeping herself from raising hell right here in the alley.
"Comeoncomeoncomeoncomeoncomeoncome on! You know what, bye!" And with that, Ash takes off towards the street, wanting to look in every store she passed by.

"Ash! Stay with the group! Patches! Haven! Martha! No fighting! Jane, you stick with me and Yuu! And calm down, you little bitch! If you piss yourself, you're getting diapers forever." Jane glanced nervously around, but stepped away from Haven on Marika's orders. Patches just smiled. "I don't want to hurt my sweet little sister. I just want to pick her up and kiss her alllll over." Martha snarled and stepped forward to glare right up into Patches' eyes. "You aren't touching her or anybody else. YOU HEAR ME!?" Her roar of anger shook the windows around them.
Marika gave the two a glare, covering her ears. Cassandra sat on the ground with her own ears covered, beginning to bawl. Yuu immediately dropped to comfort the blind doll. Martha covered her mouth in horror. "Patches, punish Martha." Marika grumpily growled. Patches smiled broadly and grabbed Martha's hands, yanking them away from her mouth. "What are-" Patches shoved her lips to Martha's, tongue trying to force its way through. Martha's eyes widened and she tried to pull away, but Patches held her tight, cold tongue slithering into Martha's throat. In desperation, she simultaneously bit down and swung her foot for Patches' crotch as hard as she could.
With a muffled noise more like pleasure than pain, Patches fell away. Martha spat on the ground about twenty times straight, trying to get the grimy slime of Patches out of her mouth. Marika rolled her eyes and looked away. "Never do that again, Patches. Come on, we're going to eat, then we'll look at the fabric store. You'll love it." She turned to walk off. Yuu helped Cassandra up to keep her along. Martha scraped the back of her throat with her fingers, trying to get Patches' saliva out. She glanced at Haven and gave a pained smile. "That does not count as my first kiss." She joked, but her face was still twisted by disgust and shame.

Haven looked on in horror at that situation between Martha and Patches, unsure of how exactly to interfere here. Luckily, Martha managed to quickly knock Patches away and start spitting on the ground. Haven, still standing between Jane and Patches, glares at the grey doll. "You're completely disgusting. Don't you EVER do that to any of us EVER again!" Haven yells at her, though at a much less volume than Martha did, as he didn't have superhuman speaking. Giving Martha a small smile back, Haven shook her head. "Agreed. Let's just say that didn't happen and move on."
Meanwhile, Ash had managed to get out of earshot of Marika, and thus didn't hear the order to stay with the group. Thus, sprinting out of the alleyway and into the bright English streets, Ash began to take everything in. So many people, so many shops, so much to see...and so much to see herself! The doll was certainly dressed much differently than most people walking down the street, adorned in a bright orange tank top and a miniskirt held on by just a belt. Her long, shiny orange hair also attracted some attention, much to her glee. But even with that, people weren't paying attention to her. Where were they all going?
Looking to the left, Ash found her answer. Towering over her was a massive building that stretched as far as she could see, advertising logos plastered around the outside and a crowd of people headed inside. That was where she was going to find the most people to pay attention to her. Sprinting forward, Ash pushes open the doors to the mall and begins to read the giant map in front of the doors. What the heck were all these stores?!
---
Elsewhere in the city, a manhole cover slowly is pushed open from the bottom up, sliding into the street as a figure steps outside, then places the cover back on. He had been down there for a while, and smelled absolutely awful. Spotting a nearby gym, the young incubus casually makes his way to the showers, his face still stewing with hatred at the 4 people who drove him underground in the first place. He would have his revenge...soon.

Marika groaned as Ash kept wandering. She must not have heard the order to return. At least she was heading the direction they were going anyway. She just kept walking, ignoring the jumble of idiots behind her. Jane peeled herself away from Haven and went over to Martha. "Are you okay?" Martha turned to her small sister and smiled for her sake. "I'm fine. It wasn't that bad." She looked away quickly to hide her sickened eyes. Patches had just downright violated her with no warning. The moment of helplessness was unacceptable.
She turned instead to Haven, although she addressed both. "What are you guys planning to do out here anyway? I know there are all kinds of stores, so what do you want to visit?"

Post by Vapovile on Jun 21, 2015 11:47:54 GMT
Haven thought about Martha's question for a few seconds. What exactly was there to visit out here? This was their first time out of the Kaspa, and he had no idea what to expect. Adjusting his glasses, Haven casually shrugged her shoulders. "Honestly, I just figured we walk around the mall and see what kinds of stuff each store has. We don't exactly have any money, so we could spend the day just looking around. Does that sound cool to you both?"
Meanwhile, Ash strolled through the mall, getting more stares at her outfit as she made her way through the mall. All of this attention was fantastic in her mind, and she only craved more. Stopping for a moment, Ash takes a look at a large life-sized cardboard cutout of Superman standing outside of one of the stores. Ash instantly began to inspect the cutout. Such a flashy suit...that muscular body...the long flowing cape...she wanted all of it! But...who was this guy?! And what right did he have to look like that?! Only Ash could be perfect!
Darting inside, Ash instantly found herself lost. Shelves upon shelves of colorful books lined the walls of the store, a small rack of designed T-shirts sat next to the entrance, various merchendice lined the opposite walls, and a large section of tables were placed in the back of the store, were a small group of people were playing some kind of card game. What was this store?!
Turning to the closest person she could find, Ash looked at them with a look of both confusion and confidence. "You there! I need to know, what IS this store?! And who is that?!" Ash asks, pointing to the cardboard cutout.

Jane shuffled her feet and shrugged. "I also don't know. The only stores I know about are fabric stores and coffee shops because they're the only ones Marika likes. And I don't think either is very interesting. Although coffee sounds okay. I like whipped cream at least." Martha quickly shook her head to Haven, silently mouthing "No caffeine" and moved to get Jane's mind on something else. "Maybe we can find a book shop. I bet you'd like that. I really hope there's some balls to kick around or something. Maybe a treadmill." Jane shrugged as they entered the mall, where she instantly flew to Martha's side like she was a magnet at the sheer size of the crowds.
Marika turned her head back. "Everybody stick together! I don't want you getting lost. And if you're thinking of getting yourself lost, remember that if you're gone for 24 hours, you'll wish you were never born until you return to the kaspa!" She turned and glanced around, quickly noticing where she wanted. "There! The Space Age Cafe! That's my favorite!" She led them into a little restaurant with a distinctly retro style, with shiny chrome shining many colors from the neon lights on the walls.
___
"See? Isn't this place great? It's huge!" A tall black woman said to a tall redhead before Ash drew her attention. "What? This is a comic shop. And that's Superman. Have you been living at the bottom of an oceanic trench? I'm from the- I mean- whatever, I know who Superman is!"

Nodding her head at Martha when she mentioned the caffine, Haven walked alongside the other dolls into the mall. The mass of people excited Haven a bit, like he was in the middle of a river and there were fish swimming all around him. One day, he wanted to be a name that at least some of the people in this crowd knew by heart. Following the others, Haven turns to Martha and Jane. "So, you two want to leave them here and explore as a group?"
Twitching to the side of the group, Cadence was going mad in this place. Why did they have to go to a place where it was so loud?! And had people everywhere?! Cadence was ready to claw her ears off...until she flipped Marika two middle fingers and bolted away from the other dolls. She had to get to somewhere were it wasn't so loud! Darting into a small section between stores, Cadence twitches more in annoyance, calming down just slightly in this quieter place. She didn't even care about the group of people at the other end of the section of hallway.
---
Ash looked at Eve with a slight bit of confusion, but she brushed it off in seconds. "Well, I WAS born just a month ago. I am figuring out everything now, as the embodiment of perfection should!" Placing her right hand on her hip, Ash looks at the cardboard cutout with amusement. "Superman, huh? Well if everyone knows you...you're the one I have to beat!" Ash points her finger at the cutout, glaring at it. "Just you wait! Soon, everyone will know my name; Ash!"
Staring in both confusion and awe, Erin looks at Eve for a second, then back at Ash, who seemed to be challenging a piece of cardboard. "Uh...Eve? Do you think that girl is...ok? I mean, she's talking to a piece of cardboard."

Marika wasn't turned to see Cadence leaving. It was for this reason she didn't call her back to the group. Behind her, Martha was considering doing the same. "Well, I am hungry, but we can find another-" "No! You stay here! Wait- where the fuck did Cadence go!" Marika wheeled about, but the green-haired girl was nowhere in sight. "God DAMMIT! The rest of you get into the cafe, sit down, and order a meal! I'm being nice!" She grabbed Yuu and drug her into the cafe, pouting with all her might.
She sat down at a large table, dragging Yuu down with her. Cassandra sat next to Yuu, sniffing the air with interest. Patches hopped into a chair and Martha shoved herself between the slimeball and Jane, leaving Haven to sit on the end by Jane.
___
Eve gave Ash a slightly surprised look. "A month? I can emphasize. But you really shouldn't mention things like that to strangers. What are you anyway? Pod person? Dopelganger?" She listed off another dozen fast-growing species, none correct. "Harpy? No, you'd be a five year old to them. Oh, yeah, Erin's right. Kid, that's cardboard. It doesn't talk." She stepped over to Ash and put a hand on her shoulder. "You have a mommy you need to get back to, kid?"

Glaring at Patches as well, Haven sat at the end next to Jane, making sure Patches couldn't just move to the other side that Martha didn't take. Sure, it may have been nice to walk around on their own, but eating here wouldn't be too bad either. Haven's confidence dropped as he stared at the menu. What was anything on this menu?! What was a space burger?! She wanted to ask what the heck any of this was, but also didn't want to give an opening for Patches to fill Jane's head with lies.
---
Folding her arms across her chest, Ash merely chuckles at Eve. "I have no mother, lady! I was born out of pure perfection! But if you must know, I do have six other sisters, though one of them is already dead to me." Ash rolled her eyes as she remembered Patches and her antics that she tried to pull every day. Worthless.
"So...where are they, exactly?" Erin asks, trying to avoid finding out who this sister was that was dead to Ash. Ash only looks back at her with amusement. "No idea! I ran off the first chance I go-whoa..." And at that moment, Ash bolted over to the one thing that in the world she currently loved more than anything...
...a full body mirror. Ash leaps in front of it and begins checking herself out, looking happier than she has ever been since she went into the mall. "What is this...this wonderful thing?! I want one!"
---
Down at the end of the hallway, Cadence finally begins to calm down, and turns back to see a group of people huddled around a door that lead to an alleyway outside of the mall. Each of them looked rather shady, wearing old clothing, having greasy hair, and a few holding little sticks that seemed to be smoking. This smoke slowly began to make it's way inside, and into Cadence's nose. This smelled like absolute crap! Why was it here in a quiet spot!? Glaring down the hallway, Cadence begins walking towards the group, twitching once again. "HEY! Assholes! Get rid of that fucking smell before I shove that shit down your throats!" She calls out to them.
The group looked at the tiny girl with amusement, one of the larger males strolling forward, twirling a knife in his right hand casually. "Ya got spunk, kid, but why don't you go back to mommy before you get hu-UGH!" At that moment, Cadence glares back up at the man, her fist embedded far into his stomach. Pulling it back, he falls to the ground, completely out cold. Everyone else merely looks in awe at the unnaturally short girl's strength. "WHAT DID I SAY?! ANYONE ELSE WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT?!"
Slightly stepping forward, one of the skinnier ones, offers her one of the smoking sticks. "Whoa...chill out, girl. Here...take this...I don't care." He holds out the object. Staring at it for a few seconds, Cadence stomps forward and swipes the stick, immediately putting it in her mouth and breathing deeply...feeling an immediate rush of calm overtake her body. What was this stuff? It was some kind of plant, by the looks of what was inside the white wrapper. With a much calmer tone, Cadence looks back at the skinny male. "...thanks. He'll live." The doll states, motioning towards the unconscious body and walking back into the mall, stick still in hand.

A waitress in a shiny silver uniform walked over to the table. "Hello, welcome to the Space Age Cafe! What would you like today?" While everybody was distracted by their orders, Patches was doing something odd. With impressive strength, she tugged the tongs off of a form, whittling it down to a thinner point with only one prong. When the waitress got to her, she was ignored. "Hey! Patches, order!" Marika glared at her. Patches looked up, raising the fork up by her head with a horrible grey grin. "I want... JANE!" And with that, she thrust the fork into her ear, then switched hands and punctured the other.
Wheeling in her seat, she plunged the fork into the waitress's throat. "Patches! Stop! You're ruining everyyyyythiiiiing!" Patches, eardrums punctured, didn't hear the order. Jane screamed as she was scooped into Patches' arms. With a one-finger salute to Marika, Patches charged out of the restaurant, people panicking and dialing 9-1-1 around the fallen waitress. When Martha fell to her knees to look over the waitress' wounds, horror in her eyes, Marika threw a kick at the side of her head. "Idiot! Don't worry about her! Get them back! Break Patches' limbs if you have to!" Martha fell over, clutching her head with bewilderment in her eyes before rage set back in and she grabbed. "Come on! Before Patches does something to her!"
Cassandra covered her ears and whimpered in her seat. All she knew was that people were yelling and screaming and Patches was being bad. She already knew Patches was very bad. Just a few days ago, she remembered her being bad. She had just got out of the shower and smelled Patches' yucky preservative smell. Patches had taken her towel and licked her, and when she screamed Yuu had come in and hit Patches really hard. Patches wasn't allowed in the others' rooms anymore, but Cassandra was still even more nervous about undressing than usual. Yuu noticed her quivering and gently covered her ears. "It'll be okay. Patches will be punished again. She's not going to hurt you." Marika grouchily tugged on Yuu's arm. "Come on Yuu. We're getting out of here before we get asked questions." Yuu nodded and stood Cassandra up, leading her out with Marika just behind.
___
Eve chuckled at the child's odd nature. "Say, you aren't another Harper, are you? Because I do not need four more siblings." She scooped Ash up into a hug, noting at how oddly warm she was. "Of course, if they're all as fun as you, I think I can handle it! That's a mirror, silly! Isn't modern stuff awesome? Oh, I bet you'd love a hand held mirror. I think the sell them in those girly stores I never go in."

Looking on in horror, Haven jumps out of his chair to try and catch the waitress as she fell to the ground, placing his purple sunglasses on his head as he does so. Having a fork lodged inside her throat wouldn't let her live for long, so she needed to fix this, and now. "I'm sorry, this may hurt!" Haven says as he grabs the fork and, with precision, pulls it out of her throat without creating a larger wound. The fork was now covered with her blood, and a small stream had already started dripping down from the holes in her throat. Reacting quickly, Haven takes one of the napkins off the table and presses it against the wound area, grabbing someone out of the crowd by their arm and placing it against the napkin. "Hold this there and keep the pressure on until the paramedics arrive! I have to go!" He tells the random pedestrian, before she bolts off after Patches. By this point, everyone had already left the restaurant, so Haven decided to follow where all the commotion seemed to be coming from. Patches was going to pay for this!
---
Casually walking through the mall now, Cadence now felt a strange feeling of...calm in her body. As if all the pent up rage had just vanished. She had already analysed the chemical composition of the plant inside of the object she was holding, and planned to make more of this at the Kaspa. One problem...how was she going to use it without burning herself?
---
Ash didn't seem to mind the hug at all, as she looked on at her body in delight. "A mirror, huh? I need one of these!" Turning to Eve, Ash's eyes continued to light up in glee. "Where are these so-called girly stores, and how do I get one of these from there?!"
---
Elsewhere in the city, Miles walks out of a building, clothes now freshly washed and body now washed in a gym's shower. Now slightly calmer, he notices that there was a shopping mall just down the way. "Hm? I suppose I could relax for a bit. Maybe start building my...collection again." Miles smiles as he strolled towards the mall, not noticing the small commotion yet.

Martha was practically dancing on the spot when Haven came out. She wanted to roar at her for taking so long, but Haven was doing the right thing trying to save the waitress, and Martha hoped she had succeeded. "I can't believe Marika knows first aid." Thinking, she could recall details of it herself. Knowing what Marika did, it made a chilling sort of sense she's have that knowledge of medicine. With that remark to Haven, she took off like a shot, barreling as fast as she could in the direction she had seen Patches go. That monster could be doing anything to Jane right now, and was her fault for not paying more attention. She could have gotten between them, but she had been distracted by the diversion. Tears in her eyes, she pressed on.
___
Eve turned to Erin. "Hey, I'm taking the cutie to some place full of pink crap. You want to come, or are you good here?" She scooped Ash up onto her shoulder, noticing something odd. "Hey, did you just stuff yourself full of peppers? Cause if so, you are not allowed to sit up near my face." A spicy scent clung to the slender girl. Eve's senses were strong enough to make things weirder. It wasn't strongest by the mouth, but the armpits and other places that got sweaty. Eve wanted to investigate further, but she couldn't very well start flipping the girl around to sniff at her. "And if it's not peppers, why do you smell all spicy?"
___
This was a bad day. Cassandra didn't get to eat, so she was hungry. And the crowds here were really loud. Even an ordinary person might find them noisy, but to Cassandra's incredible ears it was like fireworks going off in her head. And all her siblings were in a bad mood, infecting her as well. Cassandra was already on the verge of a meltdown when she tripped over the hem of her dress. She screamed as she fell, Yuu wheeling too slow to catch her before she hit the ground.
She lay face first, tears building. This was a terrible day! It was a stupid day! "Cassy, honey?" Yuu knelt and put a hand on her shoulder. "No!" Marika looked back. "Do we need to put you on a leash? Get up!" "No no no!" Marika walked back and raised her foot to kick the prone Cassandra as other visitors began to take notice. Yuu put out her hand. "Marika, no! That won't be necessary! Just go off on your own while I handle this. Please?" Marika's pale face paled further. "Alone? Yuu..." "Marika, you can handle this. You're so much better nowadays. Just please, no... collecting, okay?" Yuu hugged her before pushing her off to kneel back with Cassandra.
Marika nervously took a few steps away, glancing around with suspicion at everything around her. A childish scream of frustration and a chorus of nos rang out behind her as Marika shakily went out on her own.

"I know. I just kinda...did that without thinking. Come on, they couldn't have gotten far!" With a determined look in his eyes, Haven sprints through the mall, dodging out of the way of incoming people as they passed by. As long as they followed where the commotion was headed, they'd have Patches in no time.

Now sitting on a bench, Cadence finally uses the last of the paper and tosses it aside, making the plant disperse, as if she hadn't littered at all. Without a care in the world, the tiny doll merely watches as a tall, grey woman came barrelling down the hallway, holding what appeared to be a white-haired girl. Did she know these two...? They were going too fast for her to tell...

"So you noticed my scent, finally!" Ash proudly beams, letting herself get picked up by Eve. Erin, on the other hand, quickly looks away from the two of them. "H-hey! You should put her down Eve. Her skirt is uh...kinda short..."

Hearing the screams of people around him, Miles walks over to the scene, curious as to what was going on. Normally he collected skin when completely out of the public eye, so hearing this much panic was new to him. The incubus stops when he spots a girl with bandages wrapped around her eyes, and a black-haired woman comforting her. How adorable. He wasn't keen on preying upon the disabled, so he decided to leave them alone. It was one person that was nearby who caught his attention.
A short girl, barely 5 foot tall, with wiry purple hair and round glasses. She gave off an aura of control, yet a strange sense of vulnerability. Her skin seemed to have a slight purple tinge to it, a trait Miles hasn't seen in any of his other victims. But she appealed to him more than just her skin...she had to be his, and his alone.
Noticing that she had left what seemed to be her friends behind, now was the perfect opportunity to approach her. Casually walking next to her, Miles emits a small amount of pheromones to get her to notice him more, and be in a slightly better mood. "Pardon me miss, I couldn't help but notice how amazing your outfit looks. Where did you get it, by chance?"
