A woman entered with an... odd appearance. Her hair flowed in an ethereal manner, appearing to possess a galaxy within it. Her eyes glowed unnaturally, and she appeared to have sharp fangs, and staining near her hands and down from her mouth and eyes.

"Aww~! Aren't you the cutest little thing~!"

She giggles, eyes alight with adoration. Just who is this woman...?

— @forbidden-evearice

Damien took a few steps back, eyeing the woman cautiously. The last time he met someone like her, it didn't exactly go very well for him.

"Uh.. thanks?" He raised an eyebrow, confused. He wasn't used to people finding him cute. "Who are you?"

@forbidden-evearice

[forbidden-evearice]

She lets out a sweet giggle, seemingly amused by his confusion. "My name is Eve, baby! Oh, how big you are!" She hasn't met him before, but of course, being the mother of all of humankind, she does regard any and all human and souls of human origin as her children.

"Child, what is this place? It's become so odd since I've last been!" she exclaims in a tone of wonder and awe. Despite just about everything, she has a rather innocent and naive disposition.

[photographic-misery]

"Ahaha.. um.. Did you know me as a baby or something?" He gave her a slight smile, standing there awkwardly.

At her question, he paused. Everything about this situation was confusing to him. "Do you mean, like.. what city we're in? How long has it been since the last time you came here?"

[forbidden-evearice]

Eve's eyes glinted with a sort of mischief before giving a light shrug and a nonchalant shrug. "You could say that, yes! Oh, you're so cute, love!" she gushes. She seems like she's coming from a place of maternal love rather than flirting, though, so it isn't like she's doing anything wrong.

She tilts her head, confused. "City...? What is that...? Oh, nevermind! Just this... cubical structure," she affirms.

[photographic-misery]

"Uh.. thanks?" He scratched the back of his neck, unused to all of the doting.

"..Wait, do you mean the building??" He blinked, surprised. How the hell did she not know what a city was, or even a building?

[forbidden-evearice]

She let out another sweet laugh, cupping his face and squishing his cheeks softly with one hand under his chin, using the other to boop his nose. "You're so very welcome, doll!"

She tilts her head like a confused puppy as he says the word "building". "Hm? Is that what it's called? It's strange..." she remarks, before quickly brushing it off and pulling back. "Ah, sorry! I'm so used to the leaves and trees of Eden, I suppose I really am out of the loop!" she explains with a sweet smile.

[photographic-misery]

"Ack—" He shook his head after being booped, but decided not to protest against it. She didn't seem to be much of a threat, anyway. Just.. playful, and almost innocent to a fault?

Wait.

"Eden? Like, the Garden of Eden? From the Bible?" It was all starting to click now. Normally he wouldn't believe it, but with how oblivious she seemed to be about literally everything.. it seemed pretty believable.

[sleuth-mila-young]

🔍 PROMO 🔎

A black screen awaited any viewer who dared to tune in. Judgement here was long gone, it being passed onto the unrighteous. A sizzling, static noise struck the shadow-filled display, absent of any empathetic touch.

...!

"OW!"

A shriek of pain interrupted the solitude.

To follow the yelp, a long, quiet rustle was audible on the other end. Though whatever waited on the other end wasn't visible, the panicked, hurried sounds spoke for them all the same. Rustling and rummaging hissed through the blackened screen. The mental picture could easily be put into your mind.

...After a minute or two of agonizing and awkward waiting, the camera finally took focus, colors flooding the screen. What stood in plain view was a short gentleman with tanned, bronzed skin and short, black curly hair. They smiled sheepishly, smoothing back their hair and brushing off their suit. "...It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." They nodded politely, putting a gloved hand on their heart. "We don't know each other yet, but... I hope we will come to. I'm Mila Law Young, a detective at the Royal Court Agency."

"For a back of a better word, I have gotten wind that thing's have been... risque, around these parts, wouldn't you say? An assortment of crime running in these dark, shaded backstreets, hiding under our noses... And I simply cannot live with the idea that innocent civilians are getting mixed in the middle of it."

"So... that's why I'm here!" Mila beamed, grinning from ear to ear. "To protect and serve! To get to the bottom of these terrible sins that are haunting our youth! Whatever you need, please don't hesitate to contact me. Please remember that I'm a resource, an ear to listen, and, hopefully, a friend."

The sleuth bowed, looking up with a wink. "...I'm at your service."

[photographic-misery]

Damien blinked, staying quiet as Mila spoke. He had absolutely no idea what they were talking about. Probably because he was a decent bit high.. but was he going to admit that? Absolutely not. Time to bullshit his way through yet another conversation. "You're a detective? That's.. pretty cool, actually. My brother's a journalist."

He squinted, looking at them in utter confusion.

"Hey, uh.. sorry, but you look really familiar. Do I know you from somewhere?"

[photographic-misery]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAMIEN !!! 🎉

[broken-radio-dials]

"Why, hello, everyone! This is Alastor, your Radio Demon, and I've come to once again join the fray that is my cohorts and future slav- err, friends! Ahaha! Do forgive my misstep! Anywho! So how's about it, friend? Who wishes to make a DEAL with the RADIO DEMON~?"

Despite this, the way this person speaks so quickly and jumps from one topic to the next implies someone very frightened and anxious. Someone... mentally weak. Not at all the cold, calculating demon you would expect from a creature of Hell. He maybe smiling, but his tone is that of someone on the verge of mentally collapsing.

[photographic-misery]

He blinked, trying to process what the hell was going on.

"Hang on, I'm sorry- what the fuck? I just— what the fuck?"

"Yeah.. you could say that." He sighed and took another sip. "I don't like how handsy she is with me. It's like she thinks we're friends or something.."

[beautiful-despair]

"Yeah.....She has a habit of doing that to people she finds either fun or cute. I don't get it either."

[photographic-misery]

"Weird.." He set his glass down, taking a moment to think.

...

"Wait, cute-?!"

[beautiful-despair]

"Yeah.....What's wrong, Damien....?"

[photographic-misery]

"N-Nothing! Nothing, just.. it caught me off guard, that's all.." He huffed, hiding his face in his hands.

[beautiful-despair]

*Shen Ce tilts her head in confusion.*

"No use to being hit on, huh?"

[photographic-misery]

He shook his head. "Nope.."

[beautiful-despair]

"I see. Try not to let her know that. She likes to tease her new pets very often."

[photographic-misery]

"Pets?!" He squeaked, looking away immediately. Welp. His face is gonna be red for the rest of the night..

"Yeah.. you could say that." He sighed and took another sip. "I don't like how handsy she is with me. It's like she thinks we're friends or something.."

"Um.....Ok. What are your hobbies?"

[photographic-misery]

"I'm a photographer!" He grinned. "I learned it from my brother and ran with it. What about you?"

[beautiful-despair]

"I'm.....still trying....to find my own hobbies...Haven't found anything yet. Still, your photography must be really impressive."

[photographic-misery]

"I'm sure you'll find something you like eventually!"

"I-I wouldn't say that— I mean, I could definitely improve.." Buddy. Youre the Ultimate Photographer. What the fuck are you saying.

[beautiful-despair]

"....Do you...have your camera on you? I would like to check it out myself."

[photographic-misery]

"Ah.. no, I don't have it. Sorry. It's very inconvenient to bring with me everywhere, y'know? It's very clunky and easy to get broken, especially in busy places like this."

[beautiful-despair]

"Oh.....Sorry fro asking then....." *Shen Ce goes quiet. She really is new at this hostess thing.*

[photographic-misery]

"You don't need to apologize, it's okay. If you want, I could totally bring it the next time I stop by!"

[beautiful-despair]

"I....think I'd like that very much......" *Someone comes by the two's table.*

"Hi, Shenny~. Looks like you're doing pretty well here. And what's your name, sir?"

[photographic-misery]

"In that case I'll definitely make sure to bring it next time. I promise." He smiled before turning his attention to the new face, who he assumed was the person who ran the place.

"My name's Damien, um.." He answered, avoiding eye contact. He'd decided to focus on her hair instead. "What's yours?"

[beautiful-despair]

Black and white haired woman: "Name's Monuka, sweetie. And yes, I owe this place. But my good friend, Delilah, actually runs the place.....Avoiding eye contact, huh? How cute."

[photographic-misery]

"I-It's nice to meet you, ma'am." He looked away, slightly embarrassed that she noticed his lack of eye contact.

"So uh.. how long have you owned this place for..?" Nice subject change, Damien.

[beautiful-despair]

Monuka: "For about a year now. It's been fun, you know?"

[photographic-misery]

"Oh cool. I wish I knew about this place earlier, it's really nice!"

[beautiful-despair]

Monuka: "I'm glad that you like, cutie-pie~. If you want, you can also invite your friends over. Just make sure they are 20 years old or older."

[photographic-misery]

"Oh, yeah, don't worry about that. Pretty much all of my friends are around my age." That's because you don't have many friends, Damien.

[beautiful-despair]

Monuka: "Good. Getting the attention of the police is the last thing I need. Anyway, continue to end your stay." *He pats Damien's shoulder and walks off while a water comes by, laces two cups of non-alcoholic martinis on the table.*

[photographic-misery]

He raised an eyebrow at her comment, watching her with suspicion as she walked off. He muttered a quick 'thank you' to the waiter, picking up the martini closest to him and taking a sip.
