Amaranth A.

[dusk2-dawn]

"Helloooo!"

"Heya, I'm Amaranth. Amaranth Adams. important things..? I'm just a normal human. No seriously, I am. I can't really feel fear but that's the only major thing, honestly. I just work at Walmart and can code. I'm 26 years old, if that's important somehow. I like video games?"

Since I didn't want to make an entire new blog but had a great idea: Amaranth will have the tag "Amaranth the Not-Hunter" for interactions within the Kpop Demon Hunters world.

In her lore, she's just a normal human still. Not fully aware of Hunters, Demons, or the Honmoon, but just unfazed by her interactions with either. She moved to Korea to help a close friend of hers who's having family issues, and got a job at a grocery store... again.

Interactions from both Canon & other OCs are cool, I'm fine with anyone! Just send an ask or reply to a starter (like Amaranth's Eventful Walk). Amaranth doesn't bite... though she does punch sometimes.

I'm cool with ships, though I likely won't start anything ship-related myself lol; if you want, just send an ask or message about it, I'll probably be cool w/ it ^^.

If you bring me back into your death games, I'm tackling you out of a fucking tree again and making sure you stay dead, fucker

[bobby-best-manager]

One of the computers in the Huntrix Tower is malfunctioning. When investigated, there's a message typed up on a notes app, the cursor just lazily moving in circles around it;

"Lol this was easy to hack into. Get better cyber security; next hacker will probs be more malicious than me – 💐"

(- @dusk2-dawn )

HEY WHO HACKED US???? WHAT??????

SECURITY!!!!

[dusk2-dawn]

The computer screen lags, before a video pops up. Seems to be a video call. A young woman with long brown hair and green eyes, white headphones around her neck, just waves.

"Yo."

[dusk2-dawn]

Amaranth sighs as she walks down the sidewalk, phone in hand scrolling through news articles, headphones around her neck and playing music just loud enough for her to hear, but not be disruptive. It was getting late; she recently got off her shift at work, and she was tired. Customer service was exhausting.

When she walks under a street lamp, she notices a shadow looming over her own, and an unusual chill ran down her spine. She automatically whirls around and punches her stalker across the face, hard.

"Don't fuck with me, I work customer service and just got off shift. I am going home and going to game, because the last game in the trilogy I've been playing released yesterday. Fuck off!"

She glares, eyes narrowed. She easily notices the... person? was distinctly non-human, actually, as they(it?) seems to startle and disappear in a puff of purple smoke. Amaranth sighs... how annoying.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Kris sighed a little, oh well. He tried. And got a sore noise for it. Until his stomach grumbled again, before sighing and tugging at his hair a little in frustration. Can't give a fresh stab at attempting to manage for the Saja Boys on an empty stomach, and those human spicy chips weren't cutting it anymore.

So he whirled around, trying to keep more stealthy this time, sticking to the shade to avoid casting a shadow that she'd notice. She was the only one around, otherwise he WOULD pursuit someone else for their soul… oh well. It is what it is. He continues to follow her, keeping as quiet as possible, but his presence was certainly noticeable ☆

[dusk2-dawn]

Amaranth sighs and keeps walking, now more alert and with her music off, phone in her pocket. she was going to get home and game after a long day of dealing with People. Being aware that you're getting hunted is certainly not the evening or night that she wanted.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Kris continued to stalk her from a distance, trying to get close to consume her soul but failing each time, since Amaranth kept going into spots with light which would cast a shadow. It grumbled in extreme frustration, fangs growing out a little as bleed's human disguise slipped a little, the hunger getting to him ☆

[dusk2-dawn]

Eventually, a couple blocks from her home, Amaranth pauses under a street lamp, turning around and squinting into the darkness, glaring. "Go away. Shoo."

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Okay yeah, he just gave up at that. ☆

✿ "How did you notice me?? I was hiding really well :( Also I will not shoo I am hungry." ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

"I still had the feeling of being watched. guessed it was still you. Hungry? what, you want pizza? I'm not getting robbed when it's easy to just order pizza."

Amaranth crosses her arms, an eyebrow raised, her tone calm but sarcastic.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

✿ "I'm not trying to rob you- jeez. Also goddamnit I was really quiet and staying out of the light, you got a sixth sense or something???" ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

"Ya sure? Meh, I don't. People are good at feeling or noticing when they're being watched. it's uncomfortable."

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

✿ "Not the ones who I stalked and whose souls I ate…" ✿

☆ He muttered under cut's breath, scoffing. Why was he even bothering with chitchat? Just take the soul and leave already damnit!☆

✿ "And yeah I'm sure I'm not trying to rob you. Of money." ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

Amaranth doesn't hear cut's muttered words, completely unaware and uncaring of the fact she would actually die if he got her.

"You're weird. Hold on, there's probably a convenience near here. it'd be cheaper than pizza."

Amaranth raises a finger, pulling out her phone again to look at Google maps.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

✿ "I don't have any money on me. And my apartment is ages away." ✿

☆ Cut's eye twitched a little, fangs growing back in as it's stomach grumbled again ☆

[dusk2-dawn]

"I'll pay, don't worry. I got my paycheck yesterday. c'mon, let's go."

Amaranth beckons after finding a store on the map, turning around and walking away.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

✿ "I- what?? No I- Ughsfhsfhs." ✿

☆ He just grumbled underneath bleed's breath, begrudgingly following behind and complaining under his breath the entire way ☆

[dusk2-dawn]

Once in the store, amaranth just. gets a couple ramyeon cups and some peas and bell peppers before going to checkout, just glancing at Kris to make sure bleed is nearby and not "trying to rob" anyone else.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Kris just stood close behind her, arms crossed and still huffy. How pathetic of a demon was he that he couldn't even take someone's soul to satiate his hunger?! ☆

[dusk2-dawn]

amaranth thanks the cashier after paying, taking the bag of food-things and leaving the store.

"c'mon. you can eat at my place, it's close."

apparently she has the self-preservation to know when she's being followed, but not to keep her from inviting a stranger into her home.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Kris is just… so confused. She knew that he was following her, knew that it had bad intentions yet… still bought cut food and was inviting it into her home???? At this point bleed was just following along out of pure curiosity and awe at her lack of self preservation ☆

✿ "Okay yeah sure." ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

Amaranth just walks to her apartment, completely calm. she doesn't even say anything.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ It's just trying to work out what Amaranth's game is, eyes narrowed as he followed her back.☆

[dusk2-dawn]

Amaranth's apartment is on the first floor, so she just goes into the building and unlocks the door. She goes inside, kicking her shoes off by the door.

her home is organized but lived in, and there's an xbox and TV in the living room, as well as a few controllers.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Frost is still utterly gagged by the fact that she just… let bleed into her home?? She MUST have some ulterior motive or something… so she just stands in the door, staring at Amaranth, hoping to be intimidating. ☆

[dusk2-dawn]

Amaranth just does not care, going into the kitchen to make the ramyeon. Completely unbothered and unaware of Kris's confusion and concern. She washes the vegetables and puts them in a bowl as well; Ramyeon on its own isn't exactly completely healthy.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

✿ "Do you like. Fear things. At all. Ever. Like genuinely." ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

"Not really, why?"

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Bleed just appears next to her in a puff of pink smoke, his patterns visible and her fangs out, eyes glowing yellow ☆

✿ "I'm a demon. My whole goal was to like... claim your soul and eat it. But you confused me so much I'm not sure I even want to do that anymore." ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

"Ah. Well if souls are your main diet, that explains the hunger. they're not very nutritious, I'd think."

Amaranth observes, an eyebrow raised.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Cut is just shocked into silence for a minute, staring at her and blinking slowly ☆

✿ "I- yeah I guess not??" ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

"exactly."

Amaranth pours boiling water into the ramyeon, holding the top closed with chopsticks on top of it.

"3 minutes."

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Frost just. Floats in place, half sitting, head resting on crossed arms as he looked at Amaranth with furrowed eyebrows☆

[dusk2-dawn]

Amaranth leans back against the counter, pulling her phone out to go back to scrolling social media.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Kris slowly hovered, looking over her shoulder☆

✿ "What's that?" ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

"Tumblr. website people can use to post things n' communicate."

Amaranth explains.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

✿ "Tumble…er…" ✿

☆ He slowly enunciated, narrowing it's eyes ☆

✿ "Sounds interesting." ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

Amaranth nods.

"It is."

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

✿ "You are a fascinating human. What's your name?" ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

"Thanks. Amaranth Adams, you?"

Amaranth slides the ramyeon to Kris, as well as the bowl of vegetables.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

✿ "Kris Hoffmann." ✿

☆ It looked curiously at the ramyeon, staring at the vegetables apprehensively ☆

✿ "I've never actually had ramyeon" ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

"Nice to meetcha. You haven't? it's good."

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

✿ "I haven't… when I was a normal human my roommate despised the stuff so it wasn't allowed in the house." ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

"Damn- unfortunate.."

[dusk2-dawn]

Amaranth sighs as she walks down the sidewalk, phone in hand scrolling through news articles, headphones around her neck and playing music just loud enough for her to hear, but not be disruptive.

She glares, eyes narrowed. She easily notices the... person? was distinctly non-human, actually, as they(it?) seems to startle and disappear in a puff of purple smoke. Amaranth sighs... how annoying.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Kris sighed a little, oh well. He tried. And got a sore noise for it. Until his stomach grumbled again, before sighing and tugging at his hair a little in frustration. Can't give a fresh stab at attempting to manage for the Saja Boys on an empty stomach, and those human spicy chips weren't cutting it anymore.

So he whirled around, trying to keep more stealthy this time, sticking to the shade to avoid casting a shadow that she'd notice. She was the only one around, otherwise he WOULD pursuit someone else for their soul… oh well. It is what it is. He continues to follow her, keeping as quiet as possible, but his presence was certainly noticeable ☆

[dusk2-dawn]

Amaranth sighs and keeps walking, now more alert and with her music off, phone in her pocket. she was going to get home and game after a long day of dealing with People. Being aware that you're getting hunted is certainly not the evening or night that she wanted.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Kris continued to stalk her from a distance, trying to get close to consume her soul but failing each time, since Amaranth kept going into spots with light which would cast a shadow. It grumbled in extreme frustration, fangs growing out a little as bleed's human disguise slipped a little, the hunger getting to him ☆

[dusk2-dawn]

Eventually, a couple blocks from her home, Amaranth pauses under a street lamp, turning around and squinting into the darkness, glaring. "Go away. Shoo."

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Okay yeah, he just gave up at that. ☆

✿ "How did you notice me?? I was hiding really well :( Also I will not shoo I am hungry." ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

"I still had the feeling of being watched. guessed it was still you. Hungry? what, you want pizza? I'm not getting robbed when it's easy to just order pizza."

Amaranth crosses her arms, an eyebrow raised, her tone calm but sarcastic.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

✿ "I'm not trying to rob you- jeez. Also goddamnit I was really quiet and staying out of the light, you got a sixth sense or something???" ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

"Ya sure? Meh, I don't. People are good at feeling or noticing when they're being watched. it's uncomfortable."

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

✿ "Not the ones who I stalked and whose souls I ate…" ✿

☆ He muttered under cut's breath, scoffing. Why was he even bothering with chitchat? Just take the soul and leave already damnit!☆

✿ "And yeah I'm sure I'm not trying to rob you. Of money." ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

Amaranth doesn't hear cut's muttered words, completely unaware and uncaring of the fact she would actually die if he got her.

"You're weird. Hold on, there's probably a convenience near here. it'd be cheaper than pizza."

Amaranth raises a finger, pulling out her phone again to look at Google maps.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

✿ "I don't have any money on me. And my apartment is ages away." ✿

☆ Cut's eye twitched a little, fangs growing back in as it's stomach grumbled again ☆

[dusk2-dawn]

"I'll pay, don't worry. I got my paycheck yesterday. c'mon, let's go."

Amaranth beckons after finding a store on the map, turning around and walking away.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

✿ "I- what?? No I- Ughsfhsfhs." ✿

☆ He just grumbled underneath bleed's breath, begrudgingly following behind and complaining under his breath the entire way ☆

[dusk2-dawn]

Once in the store, amaranth just. gets a couple ramyeon cups and some peas and bell peppers before going to checkout, just glancing at Kris to make sure bleed is nearby and not "trying to rob" anyone else.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Kris just stood close behind her, arms crossed and still huffy. How pathetic of a demon was he that he couldn't even take someone's soul to satiate his hunger?! ☆

[dusk2-dawn]

amaranth thanks the cashier after paying, taking the bag of food-things and leaving the store.

"c'mon. you can eat at my place, it's close."

apparently she has the self-preservation to know when she's being followed, but not to keep her from inviting a stranger into her home.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Kris is just… so confused. She knew that he was following her, knew that it had bad intentions yet… still bought cut food and was inviting it into her home???? At this point bleed was just following along out of pure curiosity and awe at her lack of self preservation ☆

✿ "Okay yeah sure." ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

Amaranth just walks to her apartment, completely calm. she doesn't even say anything.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ It's just trying to work out what Amaranth's game is, eyes narrowed as he followed her back.☆

[dusk2-dawn]

Amaranth's apartment is on the first floor, so she just goes into the building and unlocks the door. She goes inside, kicking her shoes off by the door.

her home is organized but lived in, and there's an xbox and TV in the living room, as well as a few controllers.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Frost is still utterly gagged by the fact that she just… let bleed into her home?? She MUST have some ulterior motive or something… so she just stands in the door, staring at Amaranth, hoping to be intimidating. ☆

[dusk2-dawn]

Amaranth just does not care, going into the kitchen to make the ramyeon. Completely unbothered and unaware of Kris's confusion and concern. She washes the vegetables and puts them in a bowl as well; Ramyeon on its own isn't exactly completely healthy.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

✿ "Do you like. Fear things. At all. Ever. Like genuinely." ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

"Not really, why?"

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Bleed just appears next to her in a puff of pink smoke, his patterns visible and her fangs out, eyes glowing yellow ☆

✿ "I'm a demon. My whole goal was to like... claim your soul and eat it. But you confused me so much I'm not sure I even want to do that anymore." ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

"Ah. Well if souls are your main diet, that explains the hunger. they're not very nutritious, I'd think."

Amaranth observes, an eyebrow raised.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Cut is just shocked into silence for a minute, staring at her and blinking slowly ☆

✿ "I- yeah I guess not??" ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

"exactly."

Amaranth pours boiling water into the ramyeon, holding the top closed with chopsticks on top of it.

"3 minutes."

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Frost just. Floats in place, half sitting, head resting on crossed arms as he looked at Amaranth with furrowed eyebrows☆

[dusk2-dawn]

Amaranth leans back against the counter, pulling her phone out to go back to scrolling social media.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Kris slowly hovered, looking over her shoulder☆

✿ "What's that?" ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

"Tumblr. website people can use to post things n' communicate."

Amaranth explains.

✿ "Tumble…er…" ✿

☆ He slowly enunciated, narrowing it's eyes ☆

✿ "Sounds interesting." ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

Amaranth nods.

"It is."

[dusk2-dawn]

Amaranth sighs as she walks down the sidewalk, phone in hand scrolling through news articles, headphones around her neck and playing music just loud enough for her to hear, but not be disruptive. It was getting late; she recently got off her shift at work, and she was tired. Customer service was exhausting.

When she walks under a street lamp, she notices a shadow looming over her own, and an unusual chill ran down her spine. She automatically whirls around and punches her stalker across the face, hard.

[rulerofyourhearts]

Open RP: Cafe-setting!

One very drained Jaekyun was sitting at a corner table with a black coffee in his hands that he periodically took sips from. He was distracted - scrolling on his phone through posts concerned about their favorite blonde idol's health after he collapsed during as he was heading backstage after a show.

He sighed and shut off his phone, setting it face-down on the table as he held his head in his hands, his fingers slowly becoming more purple. Not because he was demon, but because of some unknown enigma that his human form had.

[dusk2-dawn]

"Well that doesn't look normal," Amaranth comments passively, glancing at Jaekyun's hands as she walks by with a cup of tea, "might wanna go to the hospital."

Amaranth sits a table away, slumping down as she pulls her phone from her jacket pocket.

[rulerofyourhearts]

"It's fine, I'm not dead yet." He mutters back as he drinks from his cup of coffee and pulls on a pair of white silk gloves.

[dusk2-dawn]

"Yeah well, if you ignore medical problems bad enough to turn your fingers blue, you will be dead. And pretty soon at that," amaranth points out, an eyebrow raised as she leans back in her chair.

[rulerofyourhearts]

"Well, I'll live. I don't need a stranger fussing over my personal health issues. Thank you for the concern, but it's not needed."

[dusk2-dawn]

"Eh, if you say so," Amaranth shrugs, sipping her tea.

Amaranth's apartment is on the first floor, so she just goes into the building and unlocks the door. She goes inside, kicking her shoes off by the door.

her home is organized but lived in, and there's an xbox and TV in the living room, as well as a few controllers.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Frost is still utterly gagged by the fact that she just… let bleed into her home?? She MUST have some ulterior motive or something… so she just stands in the door, staring at Amaranth, hoping to be intimidating. ☆

[dusk2-dawn]

Amaranth just does not care, going into the kitchen to make the ramyeon. Completely unbothered and unaware of Kris's confusion and concern. She washes the vegetables and puts them in a bowl as well; Ramyeon on its own isn't exactly completely healthy.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

✿ "Do you like. Fear things. At all. Ever. Like genuinely." ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

"Not really, why?"

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Bleed just appears next to her in a puff of pink smoke, his patterns visible and her fangs out, eyes glowing yellow ☆

✿ "I'm a demon. My whole goal was to like... claim your soul and eat it. But you confused me so much I'm not sure I even want to do that anymore." ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

"Ah. Well if souls are your main diet, that explains the hunger. they're not very nutritious, I'd think."

Amaranth observes, an eyebrow raised.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Cut is just shocked into silence for a minute, staring at her and blinking slowly ☆

✿ "I- yeah I guess not??" ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

"exactly."

Amaranth pours boiling water into the ramyeon, holding the top closed with chopsticks on top of it.

"3 minutes."

[dusk2-dawn]

Amaranth sighs as she walks down the sidewalk, phone in hand scrolling through news articles, headphones around her neck and playing music just loud enough for her to hear, but not be disruptive. It was getting late; she recently got off her shift at work, and she was tired. Customer service was exhausting.

When she walks under a street lamp, she notices a shadow looming over her own, and an unusual chill ran down her spine. She automatically whirls around and punches her stalker across the face, hard.

"Don't fuck with me, I work customer service and just got off shift. I am going home and going to game, because the last game in the trilogy I've been playing released yesterday. Fuck off!"

She glares, eyes narrowed. She easily notices the... person? was distinctly non-human, actually, as they(it?) seems to startle and disappear in a puff of purple smoke. Amaranth sighs... how annoying.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Kris sighed a little, oh well. He tried. And got a sore noise for it. Until his stomach grumbled again, before sighing and tugging at his hair a little in frustration. Can't give a fresh stab at attempting to manage for the Saja Boys on an empty stomach, and those human spicy chips weren't cutting it anymore.

So he whirled around, trying to keep more stealthy this time, sticking to the shade to avoid casting a shadow that she'd notice. She was the only one around, otherwise he WOULD pursuit someone else for their soul… oh well. It is what it is. He continues to follow her, keeping as quiet as possible, but his presence was certainly noticeable ☆

[dusk2-dawn]

Amaranth sighs and keeps walking, now more alert and with her music off, phone in her pocket. she was going to get home and game after a long day of dealing with People. Being aware that you're getting hunted is certainly not the evening or night that she wanted.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Kris continued to stalk her from a distance, trying to get close to consume her soul but failing each time, since Amaranth kept going into spots with light which would cast a shadow. It grumbled in extreme frustration, fangs growing out a little as bleed's human disguise slipped a little, the hunger getting to him ☆

[dusk2-dawn]

Eventually, a couple blocks from her home, Amaranth pauses under a street lamp, turning around and squinting into the darkness, glaring. "Go away. Shoo."

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Okay yeah, he just gave up at that. ☆

✿ "How did you notice me?? I was hiding really well :( Also I will not shoo I am hungry." ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

"I still had the feeling of being watched. guessed it was still you. Hungry? what, you want pizza? I'm not getting robbed when it's easy to just order pizza."

Amaranth crosses her arms, an eyebrow raised, her tone calm but sarcastic.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

✿ "I'm not trying to rob you- jeez. Also goddamnit I was really quiet and staying out of the light, you got a sixth sense or something???" ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

"Ya sure? Meh, I don't. People are good at feeling or noticing when they're being watched. it's uncomfortable."

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

✿ "Not the ones who I stalked and whose souls I ate…" ✿

☆ He muttered under cut's breath, scoffing. Why was he even bothering with chitchat? Just take the soul and leave already damnit!☆

✿ "And yeah I'm sure I'm not trying to rob you. Of money." ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

Amaranth doesn't hear cut's muttered words, completely unaware and uncaring of the fact she would actually die if he got her.

"You're weird. Hold on, there's probably a convenience near here. it'd be cheaper than pizza."

Amaranth raises a finger, pulling out her phone again to look at Google maps.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

✿ "I don't have any money on me. And my apartment is ages away." ✿

☆ Cut's eye twitched a little, fangs growing back in as it's stomach grumbled again ☆

[dusk2-dawn]

"I'll pay, don't worry. I got my paycheck yesterday. c'mon, let's go."

Amaranth beckons after finding a store on the map, turning around and walking away.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

✿ "I- what?? No I- Ughsfhsfhs." ✿

☆ He just grumbled underneath bleed's breath, begrudgingly following behind and complaining under his breath the entire way ☆

[dusk2-dawn]

Once in the store, amaranth just. gets a couple ramyeon cups and some peas and bell peppers before going to checkout, just glancing at Kris to make sure bleed is nearby and not "trying to rob" anyone else.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Kris just stood close behind her, arms crossed and still huffy. How pathetic of a demon was he that he couldn't even take someone's soul to satiate his hunger?! ☆

[dusk2-dawn]

amaranth thanks the cashier after paying, taking the bag of food-things and leaving the store.

"c'mon. you can eat at my place, it's close."

apparently she has the self-preservation to know when she's being followed, but not to keep her from inviting a stranger into her home.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Kris is just… so confused. She knew that he was following her, knew that it had bad intentions yet… still bought cut food and was inviting it into her home???? At this point bleed was just following along out of pure curiosity and awe at her lack of self preservation ☆

✿ "Okay yeah sure." ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

✿ "I'm not trying to rob you- jeez. Also goddamnit I was really quiet and staying out of the light, you got a sixth sense or something???" ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

"Ya sure? Meh, I don't. People are good at feeling or noticing when they're being watched. it's uncomfortable."

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

✿ "Not the ones who I stalked and whose souls I ate…" ✿

☆ He muttered under cut's breath, scoffing. Why was he even bothering with chitchat? Just take the soul and leave already damnit!☆

✿ "And yeah I'm sure I'm not trying to rob you. Of money." ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

Amaranth doesn't hear cut's muttered words, completely unaware and uncaring of the fact she would actually die if he got her.

"You're weird. Hold on, there's probably a convenience near here. it'd be cheaper than pizza."

Amaranth raises a finger, pulling out her phone again to look at Google maps.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

✿ "I don't have any money on me. And my apartment is ages away." ✿

☆ Cut's eye twitched a little, fangs growing back in as it's stomach grumbled again ☆

[dusk2-dawn]

"I'll pay, don't worry. I got my paycheck yesterday. c'mon, let's go."

Amaranth beckons after finding a store on the map, turning around and walking away.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

✿ "I- what?? No I- Ughsfhsfhs." ✿

☆ He just grumbled underneath bleed's breath, begrudgingly following behind and complaining under his breath the entire way ☆

[dusk2-dawn]

Once in the store, amaranth just. gets a couple ramyeon cups and some peas and bell peppers before going to checkout, just glancing at Kris to make sure bleed is nearby and not "trying to rob" anyone else.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Kris just stood close behind her, arms crossed and still huffy. How pathetic of a demon was he that he couldn't even take someone's soul to satiate his hunger?! ☆

[dusk2-dawn]

amaranth thanks the cashier after paying, taking the bag of food-things and leaving the store.

"c'mon. you can eat at my place, it's close."

apparently she has the self-preservation to know when she's being followed, but not to keep her from inviting a stranger into her home.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Kris is just… so confused. She knew that he was following her, knew that it had bad intentions yet… still bought cut food and was inviting it into her home???? At this point bleed was just following along out of pure curiosity and awe at her lack of self preservation ☆

✿ "Okay yeah sure." ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

Amaranth just walks to her apartment, completely calm. she doesn't even say anything.

[dusk2-dawn]

Amaranth sighs as she walks down the sidewalk, phone in hand scrolling through news articles, headphones around her neck and playing music just loud enough for her to hear, but not be disruptive. It was getting late; she recently got off her shift at work, and she was tired. Customer service was exhausting.

When she walks under a street lamp, she notices a shadow looming over her own, and an unusual chill ran down her spine. She automatically whirls around and punches her stalker across the face, hard.

"Don't fuck with me, I work customer service and just got off shift. I am going home and going to game, because the last game in the trilogy I've been playing released yesterday. Fuck off!"

She glares, eyes narrowed. She easily notices the... person? was distinctly non-human, actually, as they(it?) seems to startle and disappear in a puff of purple smoke. Amaranth sighs... how annoying.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Kris sighed a little, oh well. He tried. And got a sore noise for it. Until his stomach grumbled again, before sighing and tugging at his hair a little in frustration. Can't give a fresh stab at attempting to manage for the Saja Boys on an empty stomach, and those human spicy chips weren't cutting it anymore.

So he whirled around, trying to keep more stealthy this time, sticking to the shade to avoid casting a shadow that she'd notice. She was the only one around, otherwise he WOULD pursuit someone else for their soul… oh well. It is what it is. He continues to follow her, keeping as quiet as possible, but his presence was certainly noticeable ☆

[dusk2-dawn]

Amaranth sighs and keeps walking, now more alert and with her music off, phone in her pocket. she was going to get home and game after a long day of dealing with People. Being aware that you're getting hunted is certainly not the evening or night that she wanted.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Kris continued to stalk her from a distance, trying to get close to consume her soul but failing each time, since Amaranth kept going into spots with light which would cast a shadow. It grumbled in extreme frustration, fangs growing out a little as bleed's human disguise slipped a little, the hunger getting to him ☆

[dusk2-dawn]

Eventually, a couple blocks from her home, Amaranth pauses under a street lamp, turning around and squinting into the darkness, glaring. "Go away. Shoo."

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]

☆ Okay yeah, he just gave up at that. ☆

✿ "How did you notice me?? I was hiding really well :( Also I will not shoo I am hungry." ✿

[dusk2-dawn]

"I still had the feeling of being watched. guessed it was still you. Hungry? what, you want pizza? I'm not getting robbed when it's easy to just order pizza."

Amaranth crosses her arms, an eyebrow raised, her tone calm but sarcastic.

[thislifeis--waytoodepressing]
