----- “Vesper...”
     A somber, frigid air hung above the grounds of Hongdae University. Seoul was cooperating in terms of lending a hand to create an even spookier Halloween event. Hyosung, a woman that despised the heat, appreciated the change that autumn brought about. The day of nonsensical celebration was before them, and the two agents took the time off to relish in the rarity of R&R.
     There were people from all walks of life in the area -- children were crying in fear, adolescents were trying to one up each other in terms of courage. Such festivities took the handler’s mind off work for once...another being the rather provocative witch outfit she was forced into.
     “Vesper, please!”, she cried out in a tone of exasperation, “Can’t we go around in our normal clothes--? The need for fishnet stockings and push-up bras is unnecessary!”
     Only once in a blue moon could fellow Kingsman Agents have that much “fun”. Hyosung had her hands pulling down at the black skirt she was wearing, an odd sight since she had a habit of often showing more than “just enough” skin during work, but at least in the confinements of her job, she felt safe -- out in public, she felt watched. It was a tough time trying to catch up to her co-worker. The other girl had legs longer than the average Korean woman’s; each step for Vesper was around two and a half for Napoleon. The dread of constantly being around much taller people back in Paris came back to her the instant she found herself heaving as she scurried after the agent in front of her. A little R&R began to feel more like a workout the more they ventured into the fair.
