"Oh, lunch sounds wonderful, darling, I'll definitely take you up on that." Lucy smiled as Lucky began to growl, prompting Lucy to look to the window to see Klaus. Even now, the mortician gave her the heeby-jeebies before turning to Jane. "It's Klaus. I'll spare you the need to meet him." she whispered, prompting Jane to the hidden back door of the boutique. "I'll see you tomorrow afternoon, dear." she whispered, smiling to Jane before turning back to the boutique, Lucky in her arms as he growled.

Lucy hushed the dog. "Mr. Schwarzemann, lovely to see you." she said, smiling gently to hide her unease at the sight of him. "Are you ready for that discussion for your dinner party?"

Jane Rodgers // Location: Devil Boutique --> Going to work // With: Lucy Writer_Princess53284 and saw Klaus RedLeftHand36 // Mood: Nervous

For the first time in a long time, Jane felt like she gained a real best friend in Lucy, this woman was so kind and thoughtful, and so very generous! Jane wanted to repay Lucy for everything she had done for her so far, and treating her to lunch would surely be a start. She then heard Lucky growling, then spotted Klaus outside the window, before he came into the store. She looked to Lucy, who escorted her to the back of the building to leave from the back door. "Thank you!" she whispered to Lucy with a smile, "See you tomorrow, Lucy, look for my broadcast this evening at six o'clock!" With one last quick hug to Lucy, Jane left the boutique from the back door and walked out onto the sidewalk, heading to work at the channel ten news building.

FRANK "THE TRAMP" TARANTINO
Location: Court's Web
Mentions: Killerclown (Deputy Howard, only mentioned), Writer_Princess53284 (Jayde)

Frank was barely out of breath after giving that guard the slip. Pfft. Fat idiot. He thought HE could catch the Tramp? As if. He was too slippery, even if he hadn’t known about the complex system of tunnels underground.

That being said, Frank was quickly starting to realize he probably should go under. He had just committed vandalism, after all. Those teachers were bound to call the police, so it was probably not the best idea to roam the town right now. So... speaking of those tunnels...

Frank opened the fire exit door. Alarm will ring, his ass. To the vagrant eye, this was one of the many secret entrances to the Court’s Web. This was an old office building, as far as Frank knew, but the entrance was well-hidden even within the building. He slipped in, making sure that the door closed quietly behind him. As he expected, he was inside a dark stairwell, clear of dust. It was good that someone keeps this place clear of dust - dust was the number one giveaway for secret entrances.

Funny. Frank would’ve thought that his little trick would have caused more of a hubbub among the cops-

"We've got a 290 at the elementary school," a walkie-talkie chirped, "Looks like it was the Tramp. We need some officers to check in with the civilians."

There we go.

Frank listened in on the cops outside. It wasn't a voice he recognized... Probably some beat cops, if they were this far from the center of town. But if these cops were getting alerted, That meant Deputy Howard couldn't be far behind. That pig had been sniffing his trail since he was young. He kept accusing Frank of being the Tramp, despite having no evidence. It was completely unfair! Well, no, it actually WAS Frank, but Howard had no proof!

"Dammit," one of the cops mumbled, "Just what we needed. The Tramp pisses all over a goddamn kindergarten in the middle of a manhunt."

Manhunt?

"It was the elementary school," his partner corrected, "And be more sensitive. A teenage girl got kidnapped."

"Whatever," the other cop said with a profound sigh, "Probably gonna end up dead in a gutter somewhere, knowing this tow-OW!"

Frank sneered angrily. A young girl got kidnapped, and the pigs weren't taking their jobs seriously? God, he wanted to burn down this fucking town sometimes. Or just the police station.

The Tramp subconsciously growled as he reached behind the fire extinguisher. He picked up the hidden key and opened one of the cabinets. Frank put the key back, and slipped in. He closed the cabinet door, listening for the cabinet door to lock behind him. Now the tunnel with the ladder. So paranoid. Which is good, to be honest. The Mayor's eyes were everywhere.

Frank pulled out his flashlight. He started humming that song the teacher was singing. How did it go?

"La la loo~" Frank hummed quietly, "Oh my... something... sweeper~"

There was a loose wire here that gave a nasty shock if you weren't careful. He trailed through the familiar tunnels, hand trailing against the packed dirt walls. He practically lived down here, trying to avoid the cops whenever he could. But this time, he was interested to find out whatever happened to that girl. He took the next left and climbed the ladder again. He threw open the hatch door and crawled out, looking around. This was an abandoned house, so it was really unlikely anyone was in here-

Someone was in here.

Frank blinked hard as he made direct eye contact with one of the last people he wanted to talk to. He had nowhere to run now, nowhere to go. He was caught in the woman's grasp, and Frank was sure to be dead.

"Heh, heyyyy Jayyyyyde," Frank said with an uncomfortable chuckle, "Been a while!"

Jayde Moore//Location: Old abandoned house//With: Frank Wondertainment //Mood: Dark
​

Upon hearing commotion nearby, Jayde made her way to the back entrance of the house, pulling a pair of bobby pins to pick the lock, shocked to still find it furnished. The last thing she needed was someone to try to expose her hiding spot. It doesn't take long to feel sniffing at her jacket pocket, prompting her to jump at the sight of a bloodhound. Shit. This house wasn't abandoned!

"God damn it." she muttered waiting for a bark, only for the hound to sit. Jayde hummed, kneeling down and digging into the pocket that she had just caught the dog nosing into, pulling out a pack of pepperettes. "Oh, you're smelling these!" she gives a soft laugh, breaking one out and breaking it in pieces to feed to her new companion. "There ya go," she eyed the collar, picking up the tag. "Toby...we cool, boy?" she asked, freezing when she heard the door open. "Stay." she hissed, drawing her knife and grabbing the stranger, making ready to knock their ass out to buy her some time.

"Fuck!" she growled, meeting the eye of someone she had hoped not to see again. Frank. Mother fucking. Tarantino. The only thing she had even close to a romantic relationship. And he went off to stick it into someone else when she wouldn't give it up.

"Oh, yeah, sure, it's been awhile." she growled. "Court of Miracles, screwing some random in my nest?" she demanded, eyes narrowed. "I shoulda guessed you'd bring the cops to me." she huffed, plopping on the couch and hastily catching the violin threatening to fall from it as she crossed her legs. Damn it all, now she's stuck here. With him. Could today have been any worse?

"What did you do this time, Tramp?" she demanded, crossing her arms.

Lynette Darling // Location: Hermosa Elementary School // With: Rose Costa Writer_Princess53284 Mentioned: Deputy Howard and Sheriff Yu Killerclown // Mood: Worried

Lynette returned to class, having spoken to the principal about what just happened regarding the vandalism, a worried look on her face. She knew she did the right thing reporting such criminal activity, and yet...no. No, she did the right thing, it had to be done. The principal was on the phone with Sheriff Yu ( Killerclown ) and told him everything that happened, and since Lynette was a witness she also spoke to the sheriff on the phone and told him what she could. She didn't see the vandal's face, only that he wore a hooded sweatshirt. But this whole affair made Lynette feel very ill at ease, and for the first time since her teaching career, she felt she could not finish the rest of the day.

She came back to class and saw that everyone was eating lunch, and she went over to Rose to whisper to her. "I have a very big favor to ask of you, Rose, and I promise to repay you for it. This is very unorthodox, but...would you be able to finish teaching the class for the rest of the day? I can give you the lesson plan for the last half of the day and there's only less than two hours left of school. I'm so sorry, I just...I don't feel well enough to finish out today. If you help me with this, I'll be in your debt." She took out her lesson plan and gave it to Rose, "All they need to do is their spelling test, and then very quietly we do music history lessons, that will finish up the day. If anyone comes by, turn the radio off right away. Once school is over, come by my house, okay?"

Rose, though she didn't look it, was in fact shaken a bit from the shock of what had happened. But she had managed to keep her cool while Miss Darling went to the principal, ensuring that the children felt safe as soon as tests were turned in, waiting for the teacher's return.

As soon as Lynette returned and told Rose she didn't feel well enough to finish the day, Rose immediately gave a nod of happiness. "Of course, you go lie down, I can manage them." she agrees, taking the lesson plan and turning to the charges that were now her responsibility. "All right, everyone, pencils and paper out, it's time for your spelling test." she declared, smiling at Miss Darling.

The Staff Meeting at the police station had hardley begun when a call about an incident at the local elementary school happened. The Sheriff, of course, canceled the meeting and personally drove down himself to begin the investigation, even overlooking the fact that Deputy Howard was riding with him. When the Sheriff arrived, he began to shout out orders to the various beat cops gathered around, obviously angry that his manhunt was being delayed by some young punk who decided to graffiti the playground. He then examined the graffiti itself, and scowled angrily when he saw that it was made by The Tramp. While Howard and Yu disagreed on many things, they both mutually dislike The Tramp and wanted him put behind bars for all the "Mayhem" he caused around town over the years.

Meanwhile, Deputy Howard also saw the graffitti and scowled angrily as well. That damned punk dared to vandalize a place where children were supposed to learn. If he ever got his hands on the Tramp, he would throw the book at him. However, his anger was replaced by concern when he remembered Miss Darling was teaching today. When he was Miss Darling, he immediately rushed towards her, concerned and worry written on his face as he said,

"Miss Darling, are ya alright? Did that punk hurt ya?'

Mayor Sybille Leblanc // Location: Laurel's Place // With: Merydith Writer_Princess53284 Basil and Tiana _amaranth_ // Mood: Smug

Shortly after Merydith arrived, so too did Sybille herself, walking into the restaurant with her head held high, a small smirk on her lips. The place hushed down and looked to the mayor in both fear and dislike, but they said nothing and returned to their food. She caught sight of Merydith and headed over to her, "Hello, dear! I'm glad you made it. Looks like we're just waiting on Tamara now." She looked to both Laurel and Basil, and the latter she looked down on like the rodent he was. Soon, she would find the one man that could serve as a proper distraction for this little nuisance.

"Well, I didn't know they allowed mice into restaurants these days, but hello regardless Basil." Her smile was sickly sweet and her eyes were narrowed as she looked down at him. What he said in retort to her statement, however, made her scowl in irritation and anger.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Basil Hawkins // Location: Laurel's Place // With: Laurel _amaranth_ Merydith Writer_Princess53284 and Sybille // Mood: Dampered

Basil had literally just got done reassuring Laurel that all would be well when Sushi Attorney at law walked in. He gave a small huff, "Oh, grand." He muttered, before looking up at the lawyer with a smile. "Ah, Ms. Divine. Well, it wasn't so much of a joke, I was merely taking a walk before going home. Shasta decided to follow me, so I allowed her to do so, and I left her note saying she should walk beside me next time so that we could walk together instead of her stalking me like some hungry animal." He shrugged simply. "And that's all there is to it."

Then the mayor walked in, and she came over to look down at Basil as if he were dirt beneath her high heeled shoes. He smiled up at her at the mice comment, then he rose from his chair and to his feet. "Yes, well, they don't allow insects inside of restaurants either, but regardless you ladies have a nice lunch." He gave them both a charming grin before patting Laurel on the shoulder, "Talk to you later, Laurel, good afternoon." He walked out of Laurel's place and into town, hurrying along as he knew he pissed off both the mayor and the lawyer with that comment.

As he approached his home, he opened the front door and then heard Toby rushing at him, barking. "Toby!" He smiled as he closed his front door, then paused. He looked around, squinting his eyes, then moved further into his home. "Who's here? Show yourself!" ( Writer_Princess53284 and Wondertainment )

"Oh, Sybill, sweetheart, excellent to see you!" she smiled, turning to greet her friend, glancing bitterly to Basil at the insect comment, watching him waltz out after bidding Laurel farewell for now. Meridyth turned to face the Mayor. "I truly hope you find that agent to help dispose of that little pest."

Jayde paused to analyze her surroundings...violin on the couch, which she had carefully placed on the mantelpiece to keep from getting damaged...a bloodhound. Her eyes widen. This house definitely wasn't abandoned...it was vacant for now.

THIS IS BASIL'S HOUSE! she screams to herself, face going even paler when she heard the door open. "Shit! Hide!" she grabbed at Frank and slid to the back, pressing her back into the back wall as Toby raced over, barking. Her heart started to race. "You moron! You just had to bring the cops this way so I had to hide!" she hissed, biting her lip when Basil no doubt clued in that someone broke in. Welp, I'm already fucked for assault on a cop, add breaking and entering onto my rap sheet. I'm screwed royally. Unless...she eyed the back door. "Get to the Web!" she hissed, making a step and freezing at the creak in the floorboard. "God dammit!" she swears to herself.

Lynette smiled to Rose and gave her a light hug, "Thank you so much, Rose. I promise I will repay you for this! Come see me after class is done, alright? I'll see you soon." She grabbed her briefcase and left Rose her lesson plan, then headed out of class and turned the corner to walk down the path to the outer part of the building. She stopped when she saw Deputy Howard running towards her, and she smiled to him sweetly, though she seemed tired and a little shaken. "Hello, Deputy Howard. I'm alright, that man didn't hurt anyone to my knowledge, certainly not me. I was in class at the time when it happened, I just heard the security guard shouting outside and that's when I saw the hooded man take off."

She sighed a bit, "I'm sorry, but I'm not in the best mindset right now to talk, perhaps we can talk another time, Deputy? I'm about to head home now, Rose is helping me finish class for the day since she is my teaching assistant. You go ahead and continue the investigation, I'll be fine."

Basil Hawkins // Location: At home // With: Jayde Writer_Princess53284 and Frank Wondertainment // Mood: Alarmed

Basil feared the worst, what if that man, that rat, from his past came back and found out where he lived?! The last thing he needed was for that bastard to come along and foil his plans for rebellion. Funny...he spent so many years trying to foil that criminal's plans, and it seemed the tables had been turned. He paused to listen, then heard the floorboards creak further back into the house. He crept into his living room and grabbed his pistol, walking slowly towards the back of his home where the kitchen and laundry room were. Thank God they didn't go into his study, behind that room beyond a bookcase was his secret bunker, where all of the information he had on the mayor and her friends so far were kept. Even if the information wasn't much, it was still valuable, and he wanted no one to take it.

He paused at the corner, then suddenly turned round it and pointed his gun, "Free--JAYDE?!" His green eyes went wide as she saw him and what appeared to be a man, standing near his laundry room. He lowered his gun, mouth open agape in shock before he spoke. "What on Earth are you doing in my house?" His voice was low but full on concern and almost panic. His eyes darted to the man beside her, "...I've seen you before, from a distance. Hanging around the West side of town in the slums." He then looked to Jayde, "I presume you know him well?"

"Bail!" she hissed to Frank as they made a bolt for the back door, cursing every creaking floorboard. Dammit, Hawkins, you need to fix that creak! she thought to herself, freezing midstep when she heard the click of a pistol. "God dammit." she muttered holding her hands up. "Thanks a lot, Frank." she muttered, slowly turning around.

So the answer to my unasked question was: Yes, Jayden Renee, things CAN get infinitely worse for you today. Now how is she going to try and talk her way out of this one. Well, that one is obvious.

"It's his fault." she finally says, nodding over to Frank with a glare. "I was minding my own business back there, thinking no cops would come that way when this shitstick THOT over here decided to lead the fuzz this way. I needed a place to hide. Jackass. We didn't steal anything!" she adds hastily. "Well, I can't speak for this moron." she jerked a thumb to Frank.

Location: Laurel's Place // With: Merydith Writer_Princess53284 Sybille Moonlit Wishes // Mood: Satisfied

Once the lunch time came, Tamara locked her office and drove to that devil's spawn of restaurant that she despised so much. Laurel's Place. What kind of name was that? Only idiots name their businesses after themselves. But what could she expect from a frog right? Nothing elegant. Once she got hold of this place, she was going to make it the best place ever, maybe seafood oriented, no idiocies like breakfast or those stupid beignets that everyone ate. They should rather choke on them.

Tamara walked in and looked around, seeing that vermin detective walking out. There she was. Her archnemesis, all smiles and kindness. "I will wipe that smile off of your face, cook, I swear I will. If it is the last thing I do." she muttered and walked on to find Sybille and Merydith. "Ladies. I apologize for being late. I had some things to...well, take care of." she said, smiling sweetly at both of her friends before she sat down. "So...does this place served any decent food?" she asked and started to look through the menu with a scowl.

Laurel nodded and said her goodbyes to Basil. Her job was now pretty important and she wanted to focus not to mess up. She cleaned up Basil's table and took a deep breath before she approached the VIP table. "Hello, ladies, what can I do for you today?" she flashed them a fake sweet smile and waited for their orders. She was smiling but her insides were boiling. So much machination and evil at one table was really exceptional to see. But she remained professional this whole time since she couldn't afford to get in trouble. At leas not this early in the course of this operation. She put their reservation close to the bar so she could eavesdrop the whole time but her heart was racing. If any of those witches caught her, she would be in head over heels.

"How's the business going, oh Fair One?" she teased a bit before turning to Laurel. "I'm sure you can spare a table for three, Miss Abrams?" she asked with a sickly sweet smile, shrugging out of her outer jacket to drape over her one arm.

Klaus Schwarzemann | Devil's Boutique | In the company of Ms. Burns [ Writer_Princess53284 ] | The nose knows

"Good morning Ms. Burns."

Klaus took a moment, still perusing the wares, before offering a rather piercing gaze straight into Lucy's eyes. His eyes were so much colder than the warm smile he offered, as if warmth was simply sucked into them with significant gluttony. Eyes that could see not only inside a person, but through to their very soul.

"I am indeed quite ready. But first, humour me, please. Did you know that I have a very hypersensitive and acute sense of smell? Its how I found you yesterday. Not by mere chance of bumping into you, you know."

A slight yet somewhat devious chuckled uttered from his throat.

"So I must ask, why did the smell of Ms. Rodgers disappear from this store so suddenly, and without my seeing her? Actually, don't answer that. I believe I have it figured out. I understand that you might never believe me, but truthfully, I don't plan on harming a single hair on her head. I'd honestly be offended if it weren't in my profession and expertise to understand the very thoughts of others through the slightest of hints. But, I suppose, it's why I'm doing this. I am, first and foremost, a neutral party in all of the schemes that circulate through this town. Other than those that may very well be described as friends of mine, it is in my nature to see the complexity of all of us. And all complex thoughts are rooted from fears, both biological instincts and learned behavior. So it is only natural that you fear me. I am your most personal thoughts reflected back, Ms. Burns. But see me as the mirror I am, and hold the confidence in yourself that you display on the exterior. "

He sighed. A long, likely unnecessary spiel, that will likely yield little to no results. But, as they say, fortune favors the bold.

"Call me old fashioned, but I like getting to know people before putting absolute faith in intuition. I'm not a good person, true, but I also don't like being unkind and rude."

There was something in his eyes that changed, a feeling, a notion, yet nothing certain and concrete. He looked back to the clothing items.

"Yes. I think I'll wear a shade of Spanish red to the party... So," he looked back at Ms. Burns with his usual degree of calm and cool returned to his gaze.

"How would you prefer to start this?"

"Actually, Mr Schwarzemann, Miss Rodgers was needed at the station, she needed to make a quick exit." she explained calmly, biting down on her tongue during Klaus' spiel. Neutral party, my ass. She thinks to herself, but shaking the whole lecture off with a nod.

"A Spanish Red?" she asks finally, giving a soft scoff and a head shake. "Personally, I'd see you more in a darker olive green, myself, but that's merely my opinion." she insists. "Well, I presume we should start with your ensemble for this get together, and then prompt me with hopeful invitees that you'd like to join you this night.

"Hey, how do you know the cops is my fault?" Frank protested, "They're probably still on that manhunt."

Then, Frank's eyes widened as Jayde told him where they were. He didn't need to be told twice to run. He tried to stealthily dash to the other room, but seemed to make the entire house creak loudly in response. It wasn't long before whoever was coming cocked a pistol at them. Frank froze in place and slowly raised his hands. Crap. This might be it.

"JAYDE? What on Earth are you doing in my house?" the man shouted.

Frank frowned at the reply and turned around, hands still raised. He rolled his eyes at Jayde, then smiled amicably at... Basil, was it?

"Hello there!" Frank said, "Basil, was it? I’m... Frank. As she said, we were just hiding from the cops. Not for a crime or anything, they just don’t like us. We didn't steal anything. We didn’t even know it was your house. Sorry, my man. Wish we met under better circumstances.”

Frank glared at Jayde. “I resent that comment. I may be a thot, but I’m not a moron.”

Jayde replied dryly, rolling her eyes before turning her gaze to Frank at the mention of not being a thot, causing her to force a laugh. "Oh, I'm sorry, I've offended the thots. Seeing someone for about a month and then fucking sticking your dick into some random bitch in your girlfriend's bed while she was out at 7-11 grabbing a slushie is absolutely not a thot. That, Tramp, is a fucking Man-Slut!" she growled, eyes narrowed. "You should be lucky I didn't castrate you on the spot." she crossed her arms, blowing a stray lock of hair from her face.

Basil looked back and forth between Jayde and Frank as they spoke, studying their behavior mannerisms, analyzing the way they addressed one another. He sighed and tucked the gun into the back of his belt. He had to admit, hearing Jayde say It's elementary made him smile a bit. "I believe you, that none of you stole anything. Lovely to meet you, Frank." He smiled, still stressed from being caught off guard in his own home.

He looked between them as they argued, and he sighed, "Alright, alright, that's enough." He scolded lightly, putting a hand on his hip before addressing them once more. "Well, if there are cops around, that means the mayor is up to something. I don't think you two should go out there, I don't want Mayor LeTwat getting her hands on either of you. Especially after I called her an insect to her face back at Laurel's place."

He waved for them both to follow him, "Come in to the living room, the curtains are all closed in this house so no one can see us. If need be, I have many secret rooms to hide you both in until it's safe for you two to leave." He put his gun back in its little ornate box on top of his fireplace, then sat down on his couch, Toby coming up to lay beside him. He looked to his violin and grabbed it along with the bow, examining it. "...Did one of you touch my violin at all?" He pouted slightly.

Some idiot coulda sat on it so I put it up there to keep it safe." Jayde admits giving a shrug. "Y'know, you really oughta put that in a case." she adds. "Less likely to get damaged or dusty. Dusting between the strings is a bitch and God knows you can't breath if dust gets in your face playing." she shrugged.

Klaus closed his eyes an inhaled for a moment. There was a tinge of frustration in his mind, yet, he knew how to handle such matters, and the best option was to make the truth a crystal clear as possible. He produced an envelope from his jacket.

"I was trying to expand towards brighter colors, but I trust your taste in fashion, Ms. Burns. I have the identities of the guests in mind in the paper withheld here. But I shall entrust it to you under one condition, Lucretia Burns."

He slowly took several steps towards her, his eyes empty of any mercy or positive emotion offered by the human soul, taking all good thoughts and choking them out. His smile was now devoid of its warmth as well, and now an insidious and grim expression remained. He towered, and it almost seemed as if the light itself was cowering in his very presence.

"You need to start comprehending the position that you're in. The seemingly intimidating mayor herself will be brought to her knees from fear should I simply consider that she herself does not understand the same way you seem to misunderstand. I can be very unkind should I choose, but you should pray every single night that I do not choose as such. There are non here who can control me, just as there are none here who can ascertain my position in this game as he who guides the dice of fate. I am a master of my own making, and as long as others exist who claim to be the same, we are not unified under the same banner. For you may be above all the strongest, but I am beyond strength, child. I am inevitable."

How very bold of that mouse to call her and her friends insects to their faces, and also incredibly foolish. She watched him go with a glare, but her expression lightened up once Tamara entered the restaurant. "It's alright, dear, I'm glad you made it. Let's take a seat and chat~." She sat down with her dear friends, taking a menu and looking through it nonchalantly. "I'll start off with a house salad, sparkling water for the drink please, and for the main course I shall have a French Dip Sandwich, light on the cheese, and steamed vegetables for the side." She closed the menu firmly and handed it to Laurel with a small smirk on her lips. "Depending on how good the food and service is here, we'll leave a review for you." But she wasn't planning on leaving a positive one, after all, she was here to help Tamara acquire this land. She then turned to her two friends, waiting on them to place their orders now but being patient of course.​

Meridyth had skipped breakfast for this, but was enjoying the opportunity to plot with her so called "insect" friends. Basil would pay for that comment later. "I'll start with the Ceasar salad and some calamari with some lemonade to drink, then I'll have the fish and chips for the main." Meridyth ordered, glancing over to Tamara and not feeling shame for getting some fried food. She'll just swim it off when she can. That was a luxury she could manage.

"You, Tamara, darling?" she asks, glancing to Tamara.
