It was as easy as a dance. Every step was as light as a feather, each movement of her fingers a simple twitch that drew valuables from her marks. Lizzie was almost invisible in the crowd, covering her grey shirt and black pants with a bright navy-colored cloak to blend in, hardly standing out among the silks and wools; all in hues of the rainbow. No one noticed her at all. Until she saw the same man from before. For a split second, she froze, before rolling her eyes and continuing. It was odd that he kept showing up in places she was, but she wouldn't think much of it. Then she realized the opportunity here. A chance to scam the same man who'd insulted her so badly. Lizzie's eyes darted around until she spotted what she needed. A wicker basket balanced on the edge of a market stall. She snatched it, dropping a few of the stolen items into it. Lizzie had done it before, so it was easy enough to fake a limp as she came toward that insufferable idiot, dropping her voice to a hoarse whisper. "Excuse me, sir, would you perhaps like to buy some of my jewelry? Family heirlooms, you know."

Izzy wanted to banish the thought of that man from her head. She couldn't stop thinking about his insuferable glare, or the way he'd pursued her so stubbornly for that hair clip. She supposed with all that hair he probably needed it, but it wouldn't have seemed worth it if Izzy was in his shoes. He probably had the money to buy a hundred more. Unlike Izzy, who would never get that kind of privilege. She'd lucked out at birth, and would be stuck here until she took her final breath. She broke from her thoughts and turned to Dian. "Show's over. False alarm." He sighed. "Good. I liked this one. Nice spot." Izzy forced herself to chuckle. "I'll see if we can't keep it a little longer."

A few days later, Izzy had almost completely driven the thought of him from her mind. It was time for her daily rounds. Of course, for her, that meant looking for potential victims to her...permanent borrowing skills. So, after helping Dian set up the shop, she slipped out, hood over her head and hands gloved. Like always, they'd never see her coming.

Lizzie had to stifle a smirk at that statement. The Houses had no real power over her, even if they had the power to bully and oppress the fine citizens of the Dregs and Wolfshire itself. It was honestly kind of cute. She immieadientally banished that thought from her head. This was a House member they were talking about, after all. "This place is really a temporary place of employment, to be honest. Could be burnt down to the ground because I couldn't pay my taxes at any moment." She realized too late the emotion that came into that sentence, so she changed the subject quickly. "I know what you're really here for. I'm...I'm sorry. I shouldn't have taken it." She stuck her hand out, the hairpin balanced on the tips of her fingers. "Just take it and leave. Please."

Lizzie looked up. "You expecting anyone, Dian?" "No..." He said slowly. Lizzie's eyes narrowed in suspicion. There was no way that it was actually him. She couldn't expect someone who had their nose in the air to actually tail her. She'd lost some of the finest men in King Ezan's military, how could an idiot like him actually find her? She slid off the counter, one hand going to her dart gun, the other to the vase by the door. Dian backed up towards the window, and Lizzie slid open the partition in the door. "We're closed," she mumbled, careful to keep her face in the dark.

Lizzie scoffed as he attempted to climb up after him, even pausing a few moments to watch him with a look of amusement before she adjusted her mask and continued to climb. Eventually, she dropped down at a tiny, run-down building in the far reaches of The Dregs, the poor neighborhoods that seemed to grow larger every day. Certain she'd lost that insufferable man somewhere along the line, she opened the door and slipped in. Lizzie found herself at the end of a knife. "Don't. Move," A large, muscular dark-skinned man hissed. Lizzie pulled her mask down slowly. "Calm down. It's me." The man relaxed visibly and stepped back. "I'm glad you got back okay." "I'll always be just fine," she assured him with a smile, removing her mask and jumping on the counter of the pawn shop as the man went behind it to continue stacking boxes. Lizzie removed the hairpin from her pocket and stared at it. It was wrong to take it, she knew, but it had happened, and she'd gotten in this far.

Lizzie was taken aback by his words in a way that no one had ever managed to do to her before. While Lizzie might use every word, every insult as a weapon of blunt force to beat someone down, this man used words like knives, carving his opponent down until they felt tiny and insignificant. For a moment, Lizzie felt as small and vulnerable as the day that her parents died, and she froze, her mind going back to the flames, the smoke, her mother's lifeless eyes, and her father's hand still wrapped around hers. But that moment was quickly over, and now Lizzie was beyond her normal blustering anger. She was downright furious. So furious she chose to ignore the pangs of her consciousness begging her to return the stolen item. She smirked slightly. "That's cute. You think I'd actually get a trial? People like me get execution if they're caught, and I don't know about you, but I like having my strikingly beautiful head attached to my equally wonderful shoulders. So," In a few quick jumps and flips, she was back at the hidden place she'd been before when she'd been waiting for Brendor, "If you want this, you'll have to come and get it."

Lizzie felt her face go hot, and she gritted her teeth. “What did-you just-” She was so angry, she couldn’t even speak. Finally, Lizzie split out, eyes blazing, “For your information, pretty boy, I am twenty-two years old, a perfectly capable adult, thank you very much, and lucky-I-got-this-far!” Lizzie took an angry step forward with every word, and when she was close enough, punched him. In one fluid motion, however, really an old and practiced habit for a thief like Lizzie, she’d reached in his pocket for gold, but only found something that felt like a hairclip. Still, she took it and slipped it into her pocket In the same motion, Lizzie had jumped back and slid the hairclip into her pocket. “Honestly, all you House people are the same,” she ranted, arms crossed over her chest. “Stuck up, no-good idiots who never went a day in their lives without being in the lap of luxury like spoiled puppies. Though, you’re more of a mangy mutt someone felt sorry for and brought into their house,” Lizzie spat, fired up now.

Izzy scrambled off of him, her hand straying to the dart gun that was hidden in her clothing. What in the world was a member of one of the Houses, the second level of royalty in the world that ruled over the poorer citizens of Wolfshire, doing here? Of course, she knew why he was in the alley, but there was still the question of why he wasn't off with the rest of his well-dressed friends and family. This wasn't normal. And...it just occurred to her that he thought she was attacking him for some...master? Izzy pulled her mask down and said slowly, "I...what in the world are you talking about? I thought you owed me money."

The thief, perched like a curious sort of monkey, was perched above Paradox, hanging from the sill of a window, a scarf wrapped around her mouth and gloved hands gripping the metal railings. She was scanning the crowd, eyes narrowed. She would find him. The dirty scum of the earth owed her money, and she would get it back. Izzy almost laughed at the thought. Brendor wasn't the dirtiest scum of the earth, but Izzy wasn't much closer than him. She would do anything to get that money back, and she'd done worse. Eh, that came in the job description. But-There! Izzy waited only a few more minutes before she jumped, a silent move that would never be heard, and it was only a few more seconds before Brendor was pinned on the ground in the back of the alley. But this wasn't Brendor. It was some member of one of the fancy-smachny Houses. Izzy's eyes widened, and she froze.

“No.” Ezan’s voice was cold and smooth, as slippery as the electric eels swimming in the huge tanks that flanked his throne room. His gaze was not on the cowering mayor, a fat and pathetic man that Ezan would have removed from office soon enough, but on the giant eels, whose skin crackled with electricity. “The people are resourceful enough. Close down the bread lines. We’ll divert our resources…elsewhere.” “But-” “Do I make myself clear?” Ezan didn’t look at the mayor, or even move, but his voice radiated threats to the mayor and his family. “Yes, of course, Lord Ezan,” the mayor mumbled, and scurried off like a rat. Ezan waited until the man had left before standing up and walking toward one of the tanks. He stopped in front of it, still staring at the eels, who took no notice of him. “I always get what I want,” he whispered and snapped his fingers. “Bring me some meat for the eels, won’t you?” he said calmly to a servant, who within minutes returned with the pinkish, pale crab meat that the eels ate. Ezan took it, holding it high above his head, before plunging it into the water. Instantly, the eels swarmed him, teeth snapping and tearing, electricity jumping and crackling, but the darkness that crawled up the ruler’s hand protected him from their fury, a strange and inky substance that radiated with shadows. Ezan watched as the eels fought each other and devoured every piece of meat, sometimes taking bites out of each other. “I’ll need a thief,” he said to himself. “A wily fox who gets into even the smallest spaces.” He looked up. “And I know just the right one.”

Wolfshire is a kingdom of secrets and hidden corners. On the outside, one might see the brightly colored stalls, the rainbow of colors on the tourists and citizens alike, the magical creatures dancing through the streets, and the performers dancing, singing, and acting. But beyond that are the silent, and darker aspects, the town guard yelling at an old woman just attempting to cross the street, the beggars at every corner, and the curly-haired thief dressed in drab clothes that would have set her apart in a dangerous way if it weren't for the shadows surrounding her as she scouted the crowds for someone in particular.

"I'm afraid I'll be tagging along for a little longer," Astrid said into his mind. She was starting to get used to this, but almost subconciously, she started signing out her own words as she walked. She'd barely gotten to speak before, and it was fursturating that she was stuck with echoing in people's brains instead of actually talking. Though she hadn't thought about it much before, now, it was starting to ache. "I'm afraid I'll be tagging along for a little longer," The boy repeated quietly. Astrid stopped dead in her tracks, and signed, "You can understand me?" He nodded. "Can you..translate for me?" "Sure." She smirked slightly, and thanked him. She turned her attention back to Sephtis. "All I need to do is find my employer's contacts, and I'll be out of your hair, I swear. And since you're the only person that I can trust right now besides Squirt over here, that's how it's going to be. And it's not like I'll get in the way, so there's no problem, is it? Then you can do...whatever it is you want, Blood Boy." The boy repeated it out loud.

Astrid landed on her feet with a little huff, the boy landing akwardly but not falling. She tapped her foot impatiently, resisting the urge to glance at the boy as she waited for Sephtis to show up. What was that human's buisness with him anyways? She may have been annoyed at her own curiousity, but at this point she was done with stifling her own questions. Then, she heard footsteps. If Astrid could speak out loud, she would have blurted out, "Took you long enough," but with no interest in opening up a connection, she stayed quiet as Sephtis arrived. Why didn't she? Well, Astrid supposed that she wanted to keep up the facade that she was human. It wasn't lost on her that the boy was much more terrified of him than her, and it would come in handy as they went into the human's territory. Something told her (and she learned to trust her gut a lot more lately) that it was going to be filled with dangers bigger than being a Saakri-Lumens surrounded by humans, the ones who hated them more than anything.

She tensed like an animal hearing the breaking of a branch. "Three humans and one Saakri-Lumens." So the little boy wasn't the only one who thought she was human. Good. Still, there was no time to waste. They had to get over the wall. The little boy made a hesitant sound like he wanted to point out another obvious thing, that he wasn't getting over the wall on his own. Astrid had never had the patience for small children, and Saakri-Lumen children she saw had long since learned how to look out for themselves, or had parents to depend on. She couldn't remember the last time she'd interacted with a small child in a way that wasn't chasing them away from one of her hideouts or keeping them from stealing her food. She smiled ruefully, thinking of the hares. Someone would find them, people were smart. Especially when they were fighting to survive.

She had the same bitter distaste for the way that the humans lived. Saakri-Lumens may have been a lot of things, but at least they cared about keeping the place they lived from being completley dirty and grey. This was digusting. The boy, at one point or another, had clamped down onto her wrist like a tiny crab, which was annoying to say the least, but after a few unsucsessful tugs, she gave up. She was too focused on navigating this new world to attempt anything else. Being small and having a small child basically attached to you had its advantages and distadvantages. The first advantage was that it was harder to get knocked over if you were able to more easily dodge arms and legs and bodies...somewhat. The second advantage was that the kid was small as well. The disadvantages meant that she was taking up less space, so more people crowded around her until Astrid was afraid that she wouldn't be able to breathe. The boy seemed used to this, still not saying a word.

It wasn't long before Astrid realized that Sephtis and the other human had gone missing. Great. Just what she needed. Being lost in a city she'd never seen with a little human boy. Now, she was in trouble. She glared at the boy, who muttered, "I can help." Before Astrid could do anything, he had adjusted his grip on her wrist and was now leading her around. Astrid didn't like the idea of being led around by this boy, but he was smart. He found Sephtis and the bloody carnage in his wake quicker than Astrid could have. Astrid swallowed hard as she saw what he'd done, but it was better to move forward. Despite this, she couldn't resist a dry jab, opening up a connection with him. "Couldn't go five minutes without getting into trouble and killing to get out of it, huh Blood Boy?"

Raida Daidon
"My heart is close to breaking and my head is halfway there"
. -------------------------------------- .

It was early morning, before the sun was even up that Raida awoke from, as usual, a restless slumber that left her with dark red bags under her eyes that didn't seem like they'd ever go away. She didn't, at this point, even remember what she looked like full of rest, whole and healthy. Perhaps, when she was a small child she was happier, but those memories were as faint as a whisper. Raida couldn't even remember her parent's faces. She stumbled through the dark, hands shaking violently as she was too tired to focus on quieting the tremors, and threw open the windows, gasping for fresh air like she'd had a nightmare. But Raida didn't sleep enough to have nightmares. Her mind was too nervous, running at a speed far greater than she or the rest of her body could keep up with. She'd barely been awake and already her thoughts were pouring into her brain as the dam of sleep that was so thin shattered.

There were hours until Raida would have to leave her home, for what seemed like the first time in awhile. After all, the only real thing she'd left the tiny apartment for was her job, and, noticing her nervous demeanor worsening lately, the head of the school had made Raida take a few weeks off as they could see she was well past the stages of a breakdown and was pratically ready to fall apart. It had helped some, and Raida could see her own improvements. But she feared that today would make everything worse. Still, she'd already made up her mind, despite the running thoughts turning to ways that things could go wrong. Shakily, she changed her clothes and and was getting ready to leave.

Sitting on the bottom of the steps of the apartment was a pair of old men that Raida had forgoteen lived there. Though, she supposed that a king could be living in her apartment and she would have no idea. The two men were conversing, their hands moving in quick, animated motions. Pulling her collar up to hide her face, she hoped she'd slip past them, but to no avail. One of them looked up, his eyebrow raising as he called out, "Bonjour Raïda ! Qu'est-ce que tu fais dehors ?" (Hello Raida! What are you doing out?) Raida stopped in her tracks, mumbling, "Je pense que nous savons tous les deux ce qu'est aujourd'hui" (I think we both know what today is) The man sighed and smiled. "Je ne pensais pas que tu serais partant pour quelque chose comme ça." (Je ne pensais pas que tu serais partant pour quelque chose comme ça) Raida chose to say nothing, instead quickly scurrying away like a scared mouse.

Raida pretended not to hear the comments as she got further away. She couldn't pretend that she didn't know what they thought of her. Crazy. Pitiful. But was there any denying it? Raida was miserable as she came into the building.

Astrid caught the cloak and put it on, leaving her hood down at the moment so it wouldn't obscure her vision. She would put it up when she was in the human territory. Astrid shuddered a little watching Sephtis as he talked to himself. She still hadn't fully figured out what was going on with him, and supposed she never would, though she was dying to know. But then, it seemed, once more that everything was going too fast, and faster than Astrid could take it in. Before she could protest, or even do anything at all, the blood globe was already there and moving. Her anger at not being able to fight suprised her, though it was fleeting. Why did she care what happened to Sephtis? And why would she want to fight? She didn't want to hurt anyone, she was a danger. She could do more damage than she was willing too. But still, it was strange to think that she might care about what happened to Sephtis? No, no. The only person Astrid would ever care about was herself. Right? She could do nothing as the globe floated away to their destination. The boy was quiet and didn't say a word, trying to get as far away from her as possible, though there wasn't much he could do. Made sense. Astrid ignored him until the globe stopped moving, and she rapped her knuckles against it three times. The feeling made her stomach turn, it was like feeling stone, but smoother, and as if it were moving underneath her fingers.

"Some Demons never stay Dead"
Name - Raida Daidon
Age (18+) - 22
Gender - Demigirl
Personality - Raida is probablly the closest you can get to a person who is both broken and unbroken at the exact same time. Her personality was already fragile before the experiments. But then, it snapped, into something shattered and barely held together. Raida's hands are constantly shaking unless they concentrates hard enough, but she manages to hang on. Raida is a nervous wreck on the inside, but on the outside she seems just completley distant and broken.
Appearance - Raida has pale white tangled hair, grey eyes, and equally pale skin that is almost translucent
What Your Character Did Before the Experiment (School, Work, etc) - Before the experiment she was a English Teacher at a French-speaking school
Abilities - "Future Bloodsight"
By using her ability, Raida is able to take some of her blood to get a glimpse of the future, usually at the most 30 seconds. Unfourtanetly, Raida is the only person who can see the event, and for a few minutes she becomes broken and detached from reality and unable to answer questions or speak.
Backstory (optional) -
Password -The Last Magician
Other -Very tired when I made this soo please forgive any mistakes and tell me what I need to do to fix it lol
