Arterius

As promised, Kristoff would eventually find his sister after the event and once he found her, he would take her where they would usually go when she was kid, good old Borger Town. As they entered the establishment the smell of burgers and fries being made.

“How many?” The elf waitress would ask with a smile.

Kristoff with a smile of his own would put up two fingers and say “Two please” before they would escorted to a nice leather booth. “Someone will take your order soon” she says as she left.

Kristoff would look at his sister with a smirk “Brings back memories, yeah?” He would ask as he relaxes in the booth. “Did you enjoy the festival?” He adds as he leans forward resting his arms on the table.

Finally the show was over and Gaila could relax, meeting up with her brother both Merfolk went to a place they used frequently as young teens. Making way inside Gaila was surprised that the place didn’t change at all. I guess it is true that when it comes to family business, the only thing that changes is the owner. Gaila allowed Kristoff to do all the talking while she was moody, making her way to the booth Gaila took a seat. Resting her cane against the table she scanned the area around her. The memories of her childhood began to rush back the childish laughter she still could see Kristoff running around being dork. Hearing her brother's voice she snapped out, shifting her attention Gaila looked at her brother.


“Yeah…” Gaila gave one word reply to Kristoff. Pulling out a handkerchief from the pocket she took off her glasses and began to clean them before putting them on. A waitress approached them, it was a young elven girl with wavy bronze hair. “May I take your order?” she spoke looking at both merfolks. Gaila gulped as she tried to speak, but words felt like razors, her face started to turn red “I.. “ she took a deep breath in “Two large happy borgers and large drink…” she finally managed to spit it out. The elf girl wrote Gaila’s order “Very well ma’am, and what would you like, sir?” she asked, shifting her attention to Kristoff.

Kristoff was shocked by how quick the waitress was and so he ordered “A pipsqueak meal large with a bottle Aetherium fusion” he orders. It was a kids meal which would no doubt caught both ladies off guard but for Kristoff it wasn’t the meal that was important but his sister and since he was here, he could get his hands on the nice deep blue glass bottle that Aether infused drink had.

Once the waitress left, the happy Kristoff laughed and says “I remember ordering two pipsqueak meals so I could give you both toys to spoil you” he as remembers such a happy memory. “I’m glad that you enjoyed it. Anything new with you? Meet anyone? Anyone you like?” He teases at the end as they waited for there meal

Gaila looked at Kristoff who was ordering a children's meal. “Was he really trying to replicate their childhood? Such foolish man.” Gaila thought to herself. After the waitress took their orders and skipped away. Gaila’s focus was on Kristoff “Yes i remember, you kept teasing me with your ultra super secret gift. Then hide the toys somewhere I would find it.” Gaila spoke then shifted in her seat “No, not really. Same old, you?” Gaila tried her best to keep the conversation going even if she preferred sitting in silence, listening to a tune playing in the background. After a good ten minutes the same waitress came back with the order “Here are your burgers~” she chimed, placing Gaila’s order then Kristoff, just like he ordered, burgers, drink and two small mysterious boxes. That totally wasn’t toys you get with meals. “Happy meal~”the waitress said cheerfully before skipping to another table. “Don’t you dare…” Gaila said glaring at Kristoff.

The air was relatively calm outside and yet he was finding himself with a desire for something to eat. Stopping next to a restaurant, he would look around a moment. Surprise that no one had recognized him and he was just fine with that. The amount of Paparazzi he was stuck getting into was more than annoying. This town however was definitely something different but he was not opposed to it. If anything he was more or less intrigued about this specific area. Walking inside he had one guitar on his back. It was not one he normally used as it's purpose was something else entirely. A black hoodie and black pants as his usual attire and shoes that were more boot than anything else. Standing there a moment before taking a seat across the room from everyone else. His guitar sitting next to him in the booth.

It was not a typical looking guitar, more like an axe, which was the particular brand he had come to find more appealing. The waitress came over and he looked at her." Just a salad if you will and no drink needed." A swift exchange as he leaned back and looked at the guitar next to him." I wonder if I should host a concert tonight. Not sure how that would go for this town huh." He seemed to be speaking to that guitar as if it was a real entity. Perhaps it was one of the many mysteries he held. A few more people came in and he was for once glad to be sitting in a darker corner. The girls gossiping a bit." Did you hear he is in town? I wonder if he is going to play a concert. I hear the Mystic's music is just defying." They continued their gossip and he sat there in silence. Giving himself as low as a profile as he could. Hiding that guitar a bit in the booth.

Kristoff would smile at his sister as he took the two boxes off the table and set them on the booth seat. He would take his food out but didn’t take the toys out though. “Please eat, I’m paying of course” he says with a slight teasing tone in his voice as he bite down into his meal, giving an approving hum to how it tastes. Kristoff had yet to see the mysterious man and his ax guitar and where he sat. For at the moment, his world is his sister

Moment door opened Gaila felt the atmosphere change in the establishment and it got much heavier. Gaila listened to the footsteps for a while whoever walked in wasn’t normal, she could tell by the aether current shifting. Hearing her brothers voice Gaila’s attention shifted back to Kristoff. “I plan to…” she replied, taking her burger, moving closer to her face as she bit into her meal. They tasted exactly the same as when they were kids. Swallowing bite Gaila looked away for a moment as she tried to focus on the here and now, not remembering days when things were simple. Letting out a sigh Gaila spoke “He's going to be there when we get home right?” Gaila asked, knowing that Kristoff and Malic are buddies. She wasn’t very fond of him, there was something off about him, but Gaila couldn’t point out what exactly irked her.

Kristoff hasn’t picked up on the shift of current, he could tell in her voice the question is about Malic. He would swallow and nod “Yeah, he and Cass” as his smile turned somber “I do worry about him…mostly because of what the Doctor says. Him taking in so much Aether without medicine can have adverse effects or even mutation….I know it won’t matter what I say, I just hope he would be okay in the end” he says as he gives a warm smile as he thought about Malic.

Gaila listened to Kristoff speak even though he noticed that Malic was overdoing things. Gaila took another bite after a while. The first burger was gone, Gaila didn’t know what to say to Kristoff so she began to eat the second burger right away. Well that wasn’t true, there was a lot Gaila had to tell him, but she couldn’t force words out of her mouth. “Just make sure they won’t break anything. I don’t care if he paid for your home or not.” Gaila finally spoke, breaking awkward silence. Gaila had a hard time to feel relaxed, her body was tense, she felt somewhat anxious. She felt like something was watching her.

Kristoff smiled as he ate his fries. “Don’t worry sis, he won’t break anything and if he does I can always fix it” he says with a confident chuckle as he continues to eat his fries. He would play footise under the table, his feet messing with hers. He would give a playful smile before looking concern towards her “What’s wrong? You are more broody than usual, sis” he says as he adds “Are you having pains?” Concern it might be her bum leg or a more of a lady thing…

Gaila bit into her burger while keeping eyes on her brother, she didn’t say anything Gaila didn’t want Malic and that weird bitch at in her home. Same with the good doctor who used Kristoff's kindness and made her clinic. Her brother was really a saint, feeling her leg being hit Gaila’s eyes widen. She gave Kristoff the death stare of little sister for a brief moment before kicking him back. Kristoff's question threw Gaila off guard, was she that obvious? Gaila shifted closer to her brother “That man who entered a few minutes ago. He gives me a bad vibe.” Gaila whispered to Kristoff before moving back to her spot.

Feeling her kick back and giving him a glare, made him smile. In his own way, in his rose tinted glasses, he still sees her as the cute little moody girl that she is. Yeah he knew she was an adult, but forever in his eyes, she was his little sister that he raised.

“Oh?” As he looks around quickly spotting the man in the corner. He would smile before looking back at her “Ah he doesn’t seem so bad, he just seems as broody as you. Not to mention he’s got a nice looking guitar, be nice to hear him play” he states as he continues to eat the rest of his food

Lots of things could bother Firyen, but nothing more than outlandishly loud and annoying fans. The other two who had walked in talking about him, ended up seeing the guitar he tried to hide. Knowing full well what was about to happen. He set the money down to pay for what he had but as he went to stand up, the door opened and people began to flood in. Instantly he was noticed and the once soft sounding place was now abuzz with loud noise and constant talking. He was literally cornered, stuck signing things and taking many photo's. Sighing a moment he spoke." Please just leave." Of course went on deaf ears. Regardless he was slowly inching away to the side, both guitars on him as he got blocked off again. He did not like how loud the decibels were becoming in the place.

Knowing full well what would happen if he heard that specific tone. Looking around for some kind of exit, he would clap his hands together. He did not like doing that, but what this did was create a shrilling type of sound. Vibrating the very air and making everyone around him clench their ears. While not a punishing sound, he had lowered it to a point where it's just a slight annoying ringing. It was only a split second but enough for him to slip through a crack in the crowd and head for the door. Stopping a moment as he was flashed opening the door and stepping back as he once again was unable to leave. Moving further back into the building, and finding himself against a wall again. He did not want to bother the other patrons, but he was cursing his luck.

It was then he hard a faint ringing and his eye's shifted from their usual color. Changing from red to Violet. He pushed through the crowd and went into one of the bathrooms. Having accidently slipped into the female one, which was highly convenient for himself. Slipping into a stall, his body underwent the changes. Hair going from short to back length, dark red in coloration. His complexion and skin changing more feminine and fair. In mere moment's he was no longer a man but a woman. Cursing under her breath a moment as she looked down at herself." If I ever catch up to that witch...she will rue the day." Staying in the stall and trying to think of a way out of this mess. Inching out of the door, she was one gorgeous looking woman, even though she was also a man. Taking a better look around, she noted a window." Bingo.."

Moving over to it and touching the glass and attempting to open it. Only to see it was locked steadfast. Clapping her hands a bit and sending vibrations of sound along the air, she managed to get the lock to release itself. She heard the door and turned slipping into the stall once more. Hopefully this person would just see the window open and assume he had run out. In the area he had just left, their were still crowds of people, making sure they would see him should he leave. A closely guarded secret she kept and if she had to, she would stay in here till closing time and hopefully find a way out then.

Gaila just shook her head clearly Kristoff didn’t sense it, and perhaps it was for the best. Gaila parted her lips “Yeah it’s probably nothing.” she said finishing up her last burger. This was a bigger challenge than she thought. Finishing two huge burgers was too big of a task for Gaila. But she wouldn’t dare show weakness in front of Kristoff so she forcefully stuffed the meal in her mouth. But the peaceful moment didn’t last long. The mass of people suddenly rushed inside. The loud chatter and yells took over the peaceful melody that played in the background.


Letting our a groan, Gaila grabbed her cane “Time to leave…''she said and was about to get up when she noticed a guy with guitar sneaking into the women's bathroom. Narrowing her eyes she cursed herself, pushing her frame up from the seat Gaila spoke “Be back in a few mins.” Gaila then made her way towards the women's bathroom, pushing ground away. Stepping inside she expected to see a pervy man, but he was gone. Noticing an open window Gaila shook her head “Clever bastard..” she whispered to herself. After a few minutes Gaila returned back to Kristoff “Let’s go home, I'm tired.” she said looking at brother.

Kristoff just looked at his sister seeing her stuff two large burgers into her mouth, he was surprise that she was a merfolk and not squirrel able to stuff those buns into her cheeks. He would give a slight chuckle as the mass wave of people came in. He knew seeing such a large crowd it was time to go. "Take your time" he says blissfully unaware that she going to confront a pervert who entered the bathroom. Kristoff paid the check without issue as he got up and walked towards the front door and waited for her. His eyes was up at the ocean skies smiling to himself as he held the pretty blue bottle that he wanted from the place. He was in his own little world, imagination running thick, giggling to himself. Hearing his little sister, he blinked a few times as he looked down to see her. "Alright lets go home, wanna piggyback ride?" he asks with a warm smile on his face as he offers his hand for her to hold, either they walk hand holding or her on his back all the way home.

Pushing through the confused and somewhat oblivious crowd Gaila made her way outside. Seeing her brother standing seemingly staring at nothing, Gaila paused next to Kristoff, hearing his offer Gaila gave him a glare before taking his hand and giving a light squeeze. “Let’s go home.” Gaila said, starting to walk towards their place. Continue here...

It was a mess to be sure. However, the person that just left was fooled at least for a moment. Slipping from the stall she went over to the window and lifted herself up. Holding her guitars out of the window, she slipped out and landed on her feet. Walking around the building she would almost run into the two she had seen in the diner itself. Placing the guitar on her back and the other on her shoulder she would turn her body.

Sorry about that, almost ran into you both. Perhaps you both would like to come to a concert that is being held here in a few days. Might be worthwhile of course you don’t have to go.” They way the woman spoke, it would be impossible to tell if said person was a man or not. “ Anyways, good luck to you both. “ Giving a wave she would start walking off and down the street. Keeping her head low and avoiding eye sight.

Kristoff was surprise to run into the mysterious individual with the sick looking guitar. Upon hearing the voice and how they dress, he couldn’t tell who they are really are , he could have sworn to they were a boy but maybe he was wrong. He listened and nods “Sure I wouldn’t mind hearing you, maybe if you are good I can get you into a band” Kris offers wanting the mysterious individual to play his or her heart out when they do there concert. Once the individual left, he would gladly hold onto his sister’s hand and walk home

Gaila couldn’t believe it! That stranger walked up to them, but they looked different? It must be someone else wearing similar clothes right? Right?! No. The guitar was clearly custom made, and they carried the same guitar she saw before. Gaila remained silent glaring daggers at woman allowing Kristoff to deal with this mysterious woman.
