Fallow tapped her chin, rocking back and forth as she put thought into the distraction. She chuckled softly at Abeline's remark, "We have human literature in the demon realm, but I was thinking more of accusing the man. Perhaps tripping someone, or knocking over the cart-stand?" Her gaze flitted towards the cart.

Abeline nodded. "Accusing the man could work, and it certainly would attract more attention than tripping someone or knocking the stand over. You'd have to do it perfectly, and make sure that every one knows that it is your right and duty to bring attention to the fact that these hotdogs are subpar in taste and are even worse for you. Get the crowd on your side; the moment they turn in favor, the distraction is over and the battle is lost."

Fallow inhaled deeply, stretching her arms over her head. "Okay," she said, huffing, "let's do this." She straightened her posture and strode to the hotdog stand, the man's shouts diminishing. You've dealt with more than this. Should be absolutely fine.
She slammed her hands on the stand, the red-and-yellow umbrella rattling. "You," she hissed, narrowing her eyes for a somewhat melodramatic affect. "You have the nerve to do something like this?" The man crossed his arms. "Have you no shame, trying to feed these dreadful excuses of food to people? Do you care more about profit than their health? Is this even meat? No, no. Don't answer that. They're just a load of chemicals!" The man huffed, flicking his hand in a motion to shoo her away.
"Not even going to defend yourself, are you?" Fallow raised her voice to a shout. "It's my right and duty to bring attention to this monstrosity of a business you have going on!" The man began to talk back, the crowd around them taking a silent note.
Fallow spouted nonsense in rebuttal, furiously motion her hands and knocking over a half-empty bottle of ketchup.

Abeline stifled a giggle as she watched Fallow scream at the hotdog guy. Judging by his refusal to defend himself, she could deduce that most of what Fallow was shouting was actually true.

But besides the man who would soon find his business in the gutter, a large crowd was gathering around the girl yelling about chemicals and whatnot to the man whose face was growing gradually redder. With anger or embarrassment, Abeline couldn't tell at this distance.

However, that wasn't pertinent to her. The distracted city-folk were easy to pick-pocket. Their smartphones were out of their pockets, and their eyes were on their out-of-pocket smartphones. The distraction was absolutely perfect.

As the nabbed goods started to weigh down her pockets and the green she had stolen began to poke out from her grabby hands, Abeline attempted to grab the attention of Fallow to give the signal.
(Also, I totally just realized I've been spelling "Abilene" wrong this whole time XD)

(Wait, really? I always thought you based it off of "Adeline" =p)
"This country deserves justice!" Fallow shouted, stepping back and facing the gathering city folk. There was a ripple of agreement from the crowd. Her gaze trailed across the crowd in a hopeful search for Abeline. Her heartbeat accelerated as she met with those familiar, striking gray eyes...
Thank god.
Fallow briefly turned back to the man, tossing her hair over her shoulder. "You disgust me," she hissed, finalizing her statement. The hotdog seller continued to argue--telling her that her opinion wasn't welcome, or something similar--as she made her way into the crowd. It'd be best to just walk off the attention, maybe? She thought, unsure of what to do next.

(Maybe that was my original though ^^' My mind works in weird ways, so I wouldn't be surprised if that what I was aiming at)

Abeline bit her lip, noticing how the crowd did not seem to want to take its attention off her. This... this could be a problem. The less eager ones were lingering, raking Fallow with their eyes. The more outrageous ones were filming her, getting up in her face and getting silent close-ups. Everyone was dead silent, except for the humiliated hotdog guy who was shouting a counter opinion.

Finally, someone in the crowd shouted, "JUSTICE!"

The tension in the crowd flooded away, as if a plug had been unstopped. People broke out in cheers, booing at the poor hotdog guy. That... wasn't what I was expecting.

Fallow squared her shoulders, her eyes darting around. The crowd's energy peaked once more; the little attention on her was nothing more than a few trailing gazes. My poor decision-making is going to get me killed, she thought, biting her tongue and craning her head to glance at Abeline. The demon simply turned to the park, hoping that she wouldn't cause any more trouble.

Abeline trotted after Fallow, pushing her way through the crowd. The people were excitedly gathering around the hotdog man, some demanding to know what was in his hotdogs, others asking for him to sign a slip of paper. She imagined that videos of the 'crazy hot-dog lady' would start to appear on the internet, and this guy would find himself an unwitting celebrity.

Finally, Abeline caught up with the demon, a smile brushing on her face. "I nabbed so much while you were keeping them busy!" Abeline whispered excitedly, showing her clenched fists holding cash and pockets weighed down by an assortment of trinkets.

Fallow, impressed, let loose a low whistle. "You're a sneaky one, aren't you?" She murmured, her eyes flickering with amusement as Abeline revealed the loot. She had initially expected for them to just nab a wallet or two, but quickly realized that Abeline was not only half... "supernatural", but was experience in these sort of things. Stop belittling humans. You're letting the demon brainwash get to your head, Fallow chided, coiling her tail around her thigh tightly. "Anyways. We should probably get out of sight as soon as Trauma and Marshall get back."

"Yeah," Abeline agreed quietly. After her excitement died down, she was struck by how normal everyone seemed. Even with Fallow causing an uproar... it was painful to remember. In that moment, the demon had seemed like a ticked-off teen activist. It seemed so, so normal. Abeline's lips tugged downwards, the light in her eyes dying a bit.

But she pulled them back up into a forced smile. "When do you think they're going to get back here?" She asked, passing across some of the money.

Fallow saw the brief drop of Abeline's mood--years of study had taught her to see these sort of things through even the simplest of eye movement. They had trained the twins to the best (at least, they tried to), in hope that they could be of significant military use. It was at that moment Fallow longed for the past, wishing that they could be tucked safely away in their part of the demon's castle, a harm to no one.
She looked at the deer-girl in deep consideration; they'd had a rough start together, but the twins both grew somewhat fond of Abeline. We could... try and survive together, couldn't we? Am I being a bit naive? Unable to ask about their future, Fallow shrugged and focused on the task at hand.
"I'm not sure. Soon, I hope." She scuffed her foot against the ground and looked hopefully around the open park.

(OMG! I am so sorry! I was so busy irl and on FR that I totally forgot about this! D:)
Abeline dipped her head in one quick movement. "Yeah, I agree. I'm just worried that you're going to be a total celebrity by nightfall, with all those cameras pointed in your direction. At the very least, you are going to be the talk of the city." She tried to give Fallow a 'toats-jelly-girl!' smile, but it came out more like a grimace. Despite her attempts to lighten the situation, it was undoubtedly a worrying one.

(Ah, no, it's alright! You can take as much time as you need ^-^)
The young demon scratched the back of her neck nervously. "I don't think... that it will pick up that quickly," Fallow said, the uncertainty clear in her voice, "after all, it's a tedious process if it even happens. I hope. We'd best gather our composure and move on quickly, if everything goes right... but then again, if you have a better idea..." She trailed off, shrugging.
"Hey," called out a voice, orotund but not quite booming. Fallow's spirits lifted almost immediately; she turned behind her to see Marshall and Trauma jogging towards them.
Marshall was a bit out of breath when he reached them; he had always been low in stamina. "How long have you guys been waiting? We strayed a bit from the area," Trauma said, although smiling impishly. He seemed happy to find them safe, as Fallow did.
"Not too long," she answered, retreating to Marshall's side. "How did it go?" Marshall asked, looking towards Abeline.

Abeline gave a mischievous smile. "Oh, I think we got a little. We didn't do too well, you know? Like, we nabbed a wallet or two. Nothing much." Innocently, she hid her hands behind her back, looking up at the two boys. "How much did you guys get?"

"I think we got a decent amount," Trauma said lightly, Marshall giving a confirming nod.
"Trauma's pretty stealthy. Most of our loot was wallets. One didn't have any money, but had a card to the Sub-Way," Marshall said, the unnatural term staggering off his tongue.
"Anyways," Trauma half-interrupted, "we should go somewhere else to gather everything. Before we look even more suspicious or something."

"Of course." Abeline turned serious. "I'm not familiar with this city, but there's bound to be a coffee shop or something. With all this money, though, we could probably find a cheap hotel to rent out for a little bit while we gather ourselves." She tilted her face thoughtfully, staring at upwards. "Do you think our... uh, entourage will expect us to go somewhere in the open, or remain hidden?"

Trauma quickly explained what a hotel was to the twins, to which they both nodded at Abeline in agreement. "Knowing the demons, a crowded human city is the last place they'd even search. They know we've been taught to stealth around in the shadows and stay low, so I think a crowded human place like this is ideal for hiding. It should take them a while to even get here, if they do," Marshall replied, his eyes flitting around to the crowds of city-folk.
"A hotel sounds like a great idea. Although we might need to stop by a few places to recharge for food and get clothes and whatnot. How're you feeling, Abeline?" Fallow asked, her eyebrows knitting in concern as she remembered the deer-girl's earlier state.

Abeline smiled at her worry. It had been so long since some one had thought to ask her how she was feeling, and it lit a warm glow in her heart. "I'm doing great," the girl said, still smiling.
Despite her grumblings about being out of the loop with her own kind, Abeline was looking forward to being among humans again. Being able to chow down a cheap but badly made burger while sipping a soda with absolutely no cares... her heart yearned for that life again. Even if it was temporary, and, on top of that, an act, it would still be a welcome change.
"Before we do anything, though," Abeline began, turning serious, "we should probably sort through all the things we grabbed. We don't want to, you know, arouse suspicion when we try to buy groceries with a golden watch. Maybe we can sell the valuables at a pawn shop somewhere and just pocket the cash in the wallets. That sound good?"

Trauma, once again, had to briefly explain the concept of a pawn shop to the twins. They understood money and trade, which was not only a large (and somewhat over-exaggerated) part of human lore, but also a part of their world. Less so in their lives, since they had never really needed to use money at during their stay in the Demon World, but still a part of their world nonetheless.

Marshall was the one that spoke, since they all agreed on the same basic idea. "Yeah. We'd best sort it somewhere less public, though, since the amount of loot we have would look suspicious." He then murmured, half to himself, "And because we look strange anyways."

"There's a more quiet part down there," Trauma said, nodding towards the direction he and Marshall had come from before. He began to steadily walk off, not wanting to waste any more time on planning and decisions. He was never one to plan his actions too much, anyways--it was what got him into the group of misfits, anyways.

Abeline frowned at Trauma's retreating back. Although she understood the need to make quick decisions, she also knew that recklessness could get them killed. Also, it just rubbed her fur the wrong way to know that Trauma thought he knew the best places to hide. Although, her irritation was gradually replaced with appreciation. The place he had indicated was indeed less busy; only a handful of people, and even then they looked shifty and unlikely to care. Abeline jogged to catch up with Trauma, following him to the nook.
