Sól had tried to convince Van to let him stay away while the “#1 Bun” got to have his time to shine at the fan fest. Unfortunately, the hermit was kind of a push-over, and so to make Van happy, he went along. After all, they were on the Finalist team; it would be uncouth not to go. However, his social anxiety was still piqued, and Sol ended up standing beside Van with arms crossed, staring ahead into the crowd. He prayed to the gods silently to keep any fans from trying to talk to him....

The trip over had been relatively quick. After getting settled into the hotel that Lye suggested and changing into clothes that made them look less “tourist” as Lye put it, he had wanted to wander through the the marketplace for a bit. Granted the sheer size of it meant it was nearly impossible to see everything in one trip.

He glanced down at a few tables after seeing Lye looking at some things. Of course like most places of this sort one had to figure out what was worth buying and what was a total scam. He turned to Lye, wondering about something unrelated. “Did you get ahold of your family yet?” He wasn’t when she was planning on meeting them, just that it had gotten brought up.

It had been a long time since Onyx had gone on a good night stroll. The streets of Solis Heights weren’t coated in the skyscrapers and messy buildings of the inner city, nor was it a disturb-me-not picture like Cherry Hills or many neighborhoods in Aurora Vale. Structures were low but many with a few exceptions like the Cheshire headquarters. For now he stayed to the east side of the district. The last thing he wanted was some late night event in Merek’s half of the district to be disturbed and then be blamed for it. 

He swung on his wires, letting the gentle hiss be his companion for the evening as they shot out and reeled back. Eventually, he found a nice place to rest, and after making a small canopy of wires he perched there watching the crowd.

He zeroed in on the first interesting sight he could: who was that down there?

As the two young men walked the streets of the city, Tomer glanced over to Wigbrand, hands still held nonchalantly behind his head. “Ya still sure about this, Brandy? Ya might get mistaken fer a student.”

“All the more fun, then, ey?” The Duke glanced back with a glimmer in his eye. Tomer simply shrugged in response as they got closer to the University campus.

Once arriving in the courtyard, the two took a moment to take in the sights and see if they could spot someone rather out of place among the locals. After a moment of silence, Tomer asked, “So what’ll ya do if ya don’t see ‘im out here?”

“... I was thinking I might enroll for a class or two...~”

“Ha! Yer havin’ a laugh. ... Ain’t ya?” Brandy simply smiled in reply. “... Yer bein’ serious. Bloody ‘ell....”

Night sulked back to his own dorm. He closed the door a bit too loudly as he sighed and made his way past his roommate to flop onto his own bed. Face down in his pillow, Night groaned helplessly and grumbled something muffled by the fluff of the pillow. It was loud enough to possibly be directed towards Arlind, but could also just have been him talking to himself. With Night, it could be hard to tell at times.

“I tried a few times to get ahold of you but the entire communications network was just a mess until those fuckers got kicked out of the city systems. Probably didn’t need to bother though, you were in Cherry Hills. Entire city could burn down and that district would remain perfectly fuckin fine. I give her shit but Bell knows what she’s doin.”

“So I gotta know, what did you do? Spend the whole invasion getting a sun tan in your back yard and reading a book? The hell did Cherry Hills folk actually do during this thing.” Shrugging and leaning back “I was with Merek for the most part, had my fun bashin heads.”

“Saw the boss fly through the air and slice a giant rocket into pieces, that was pretty badass.”

Puck leaned  back a bit at the scrutiny. This guy seemed worrisomely familiar.... If he was who Puck imagined, this could be really bad. “Yeah? Well... you’re... freakishly tall. Look, I-I gotta.... There’s a Hecaball game I gotta get to,” at some point. He took a slight step back, then leaned around to try and see past the fellow Faerie. No sign of anyone else....

Part of him was trying to keep calm and remember that he didn’t exist as his old self anymore, so why be afraid of the Fae? The louder part of him was hyped on the paranoia that somehow Titania would still remember him. But then, Koko had originally gone to tell her he was dead, so.... No, knowing the Queen, she wouldn’t believe the story by word alone. She wouldn’t stop until his fate was confirmed. He nearly prayed that this guy wasn't here for her....

The image is slightly scrambled and all sorts of chaos is heard in the background. An alarm going off, people running around, yelling, what sounds like a multitude of rats skittering along the ground.

“Uh hey! How’s everything goin?” Sounds of glass breaking in the background. “So you’re never gonna believe this, I got a lead on the painting..in fact I might have found out exactly where it is. Unfortunately there’s been a few complications..”

The audio cuts off for a few moments before picking up again.

“Remember Inspector Marceau? The guy that was obsessed with catching me? Turns out he didn’t exactly retire and he’s not particularly happy to see me...thanks for letting me know he was still around by the way...” Dripping with sarcasm.

“ANYWAY there was a scuffle, an alarm system got tripped, now there’s a few angry law enforcement personnel...and an extraordinary amount of rats...that don’t seem happy to see me either.”

“Oh right and the tunnel systems are fairly confusing even when I’m not being pursued by a tidal wave of rats, a pissed off inspector, and his goons. So if I could request a moment of your time...that would be great...gotta go!”
