It was so noisy here this year. One would think that at a festival where the goal was either to have race meeting or to stuff your face, people would be ...well stuffing their face. But no, very few were actually eating their food. They were to busy talking or chasing after their children, who thought it was just a game. Bristol sighed softly, her headache was probably the reason she was getting so annoyed by the other people here. Her phone vibrated in her pocket and she checked her watch just to see it was just another message from their mother, that was starting to get annoying too. At least they were getting tacos though, perhaps eating something would make her feel a little better. The best thing about this stupid festival was the taco truck that she and her twin, Evangeline, went to every year. Had the best tacos, she kept trying to talk the owner into getting a restaurant so she could get them more than at the festival. Bri looked at Evan as she asked where Saul was supposed to meet up with them. “The um….” She snapped her fingers a few times as she thought. “....Funtastic Funnels? The funnel cake truck that has a stupid as fuck name.” She said with a slight chuckle, even with a stupid name their funnel cakes were some of the best. Aside from maybe the ones their father made while drunk sometimes. When Evan said something about the roller coasters Bri shook her head a bit. "I think it's just to keep their brats out of their hair." She said before she saw Evan trying to hide a yawn, and she chuckled when Evan asked what. "I was just looking at you, calm down grumpy." As they got to the taco truck, her mouth started watering just from the smell of the taco meat. She was smart this year and actually skipped out on lunch so she wouldn't get sick. Even if the fact they had five people ahead of them made It worse. She was about to grumble a bit when Evangeline's phone started going off. Bri laughed after Evan said that Saul wanted her to order his food. "Oh he should know by now I will order him something spicier just for that." It was long after they started moving up in the line that Saul joined them and Bri smiled giving him a long hug once Evan let go of him. Bri nodded rolling her eyes when Evan told Saul that their mom had been blowing up their phones. "Honestly, I'm hoping they don't get here until just before the meeting. I'm not in the mood to deal with how annoying mom is being." Bri couldn't help but frown when Evan explained the Ian thing, because honestly the disagreement was partly her fault. She sighed when Saul asked how things were going with her. "Oh awesome thank you! But things aren't much better, they moved me labs because of a disagreement with the supervisor. I'm not even sorry about it, she was an idiot and she needed to know it, so I told her." She shook her head, and grumbled under her breath, before going up and ordering her taco and a drink. Honestly she was glad that Evan asked Saul about walking her to walk and nodded a bit. Even though she didn't want to admit it, the whole hunter thing had her worried. And she could tell it did Evan too. But hunters weren't often a problem around here, and that was likely part of it. Once they got their food and started walking a bit, Bri listened to Evan telling Saul what had happened the night before. When he asked if she had been having any issues with hunters, she looked at him with a mouth full of taco and shook her head "Knot reelie." She answered before rolling her eyes as Evan and Saul laughed at her. "I'm reelie hongery." That got another laugh before Saul started talking about how things had been going for him since they last saw each other. Which what he had been working on sounded really interesting, and she would have to remember to ask him to see it when he was done with it. Bri shouldn't help but sigh a little as she finished her taco and felt her phone vibrate. Though looking at she let off a sight squeak showing it to the other two since they had their hands full. It was a group text between her, Evan, and their aunt. "Oh my gosh guys aunt Anais is coming into town for the meet this year. Mom is going to be pisssssed!" She said before laughing a bit and starting to text back. Barely paying attention to her surroundings or the crowd of people around them, until she heard someone apologizing and looked up to see a pretty little blonde holding Saul's taco. "Oh I'm so sorry. It's getting a little hard to move around here." The blonde said before checking Saul out in a very not settle way and handing him, his taco. "I'm okay. Good thing I caught that taco, be a shame to lose such good meat." She added before winking and moving past him, turning into one of the more crowded areas. Bri couldn't help the loud laugh she let out before looking around Saul at Evan. "Such a shame to lose the meat. That was so bad." --- Ah the food festival, she could remember when it wasn't a reason for races meeting. When there wasn't such a thing as fried..well everything and she insisted on going every year. It was kind of funny that she had made it back West in time for it this year. Though food wasn't her interest but the easy targets lined up with money they saved up for it. Though, the corndog she had was fucking delicious. With a slight sigh the short blonde threw her trash away, before turning her gaze towards the large crowd of people heading her way from the rides. Taking a deep breath, Namoi easily inserted herself into the crowd of parents trying to calm their children down, people excited from the rides, and random others making their way another. Sadly most humans didn't realize how easy of a target they were. Like the woman who sat her purse down to yell at her kid for something and tie their shoes. Truly the woman deceived to have her purse snatched up from the ground. A couple of teenagers that were pushing their way roughly through the crowd while bitching about old people. They didn't need loose money or the bit of jewelry Naomi was able to get off the last girl, to feel entitled. She was doing a service really, even going so far as stuffing a five in some kids pocket that looked hungry as she passed them. Though maybe she got a touch to cocky as she made her way into the food truck area, by taking a man's wallet as they were waiting in line. Only getting a few people into the oncoming crowd before hearing the man start yelling. As glanced over her shoulder to make sure the guy had started following her, bam, Namoi felt like she ran into a solid wall. Her hand catching whatever was falling off it. Only to take a step back and glance at the taco with a few bites out of it in her hand. Even more confused, her light brown eyes looked in front of her, seeing that the solid wall, was actually a tall rather build brunette man that looked as caught off guard as she was. "Oh I'm so sorry." Naomi said a slight blush coming to her cheeks, "It's getting a little hard to move around here." She added with a smile letting her eyes ran over his figure as he spoke to her, before handing him, his taco as her other hand got his wallet out of his pocket. "I'm okay. Good thing I caught that taco, be a shame to lose such good meat." She answered with a wink before moving around, pocketing the wallet before shaking her head at herself. Did ...did she just trying to flirt with a hot guy using a meat pun? How, even? What the fuck was wrong with her? --- The tall light blonde woman couldn't help but shake her head as her friends headed giggling towards the rides, and she headed through the festival. Sometimes she forgot how much younger dragons could be like little toddlers. At least Asirre had went them them to make sure they didn't just burn down the roller coaster. Even if it seemed a bit extreme for them, she wouldn't be surprised honestly. Honestly she kind of loved this festival, aside from the rides, which were such a stupid idea in the first place. The food was always good, with new kinds of food rolling in each year. Plus it was nice to be in a place she knew was mostly supernaturals, after having to work and live in the human world so much. Making her way gracefully through the large crowds that lingered a bit around the food trucks, Jamila couldn't help but smile a bit seeing her friend towards the front of the funnel cake truck. Before making her way towards the dark haired man with glasses and jet black hair. As she got closer she noticed the large smile on his face while looking down towards his phone. "What has you all smiles?" She asked, looping her arm through out of his. "Did you get some cute guys number?" Zayden didn't even move as he felt Mila loop her arm through his. Even with a crowd this large, he could smell his best friends perfume from half a food truck area away. Though her question made him glance up from his phone and give an overly dramatic eye roll, which only made her laugh a little more. "No, nosy. My uncle just gave me a heads up that he is in town for the festival and wanted to know if I wanted to meet up tomorrow." He answered before moving to the front of the line, and getting them both funnel cakes. Hers with strawberry sauce, like a freak. "So where did the others go? I thought you were bringing your whole dance group?" He asked as they moved a little away from the truck to get out of the way and eat. Mila chuckled and rolled her eyes a bit. "Asirre took them to go ride that roller coaster." --- Rebecca was glad that she had come early to this festival, it gave her time to ride a few of the rides and get something to eat before this meeting. Though it was out of pure luck that she had arrived back in the area in time for Kai to reach out to invite her to the meeting this year. Not to mention, it had been a few years since she had seen Kai, and it was nice to hear that he was still around. Though she wasn't exactly especially expecting a brand nice face when she walked into the tent with a mouthful. She smiled slightly when Kai said something about her being the first one to arrive, and gave a slight wave while making a point to show her mouth was full before getting to her seat. It wasn't very long before Tobias and Warren finally got to the tent, and she smiled winking at Tobias as he nodded to her. "The ones farther south have been cut out of contact for a few weeks now, from what I've heard. I guess something big is going on." She added when Kai said something about not being able to reach some of the dealers. She smiled a bit and nodded towards Az. "I'm Becca." Becca couldn't help the fact her face soured at Sean and Craig's name. Though she had only had to deal with Craig once. Each time she had to deal with Sean, she wanted to literally kill him. So it really wasn't very surprising when Kai said he had pissed off both the Horsemen and Ascended. Honestly she hadn't heard the name Sybil very much. Here and there in her travels a few times. But honestly she barely actually dealt with witches, other than the ones in the East. Even still she made sure to make a mental note. When asked if there were any more questions, she bit her lip a bit. "It's not really a question, but if any of you catch sight or hear about Travis Hendra. Let me know, they still haven't gotten him back to his cell and I tracked him here." --- Delonna couldn't help but smirk slightly as Darius got upset that she had sat at the other end of the table. So he was unable to sit by Amal. "I already told you no. I was here before you and am comfortable." She argued before Aetulia snapped and told him to just sit down. She stretched a bit and sighed as he sat down, getting an even dirtier look from him. Delonna was really glad she had, had time to talk to Aetulia before the meeting. Because there was no way that Raelynn would agree to be betrothed to anyone in Darius or Amal's tribe. As much as she hated the fact that she was putting her tribes escape plans in Darius hands. He unfortunately was good at making them. She hoped he was smart enough not to bother planning where her tribe was going to relocate this time. The instant that Amal pulled his stupid little list out of his pocket, her eyes narrowed. As if the letters he had sent on Siddiq's visits weren't enough! Her fingers tapped as he started reading off the names. She gave Darius a look of disgust when he emotionlessly said he would inform his daughter of her third trial. "Why not just tie up the poor girl and have Amal burn her in front everyone Darius." She spat out, before glancing at Amal. "And what is the reason Shasfi is now on her third trail now? She has done nothing wrong since coming to my tribe." When Amal finally gave her [i]permission[/i] to speak, it took all of her willpower not to start up another argument. "To start, Darius this year my crops have been fairing very well. I know that where tribe has trouble growing without magic. If you need extra crops or fish, I can have it sent to yours within the week." Delonna said, giving him a chance to answer before continuing. "Also, I'm sure that...almost everything has been feeling a shift in the Abyss within the last few months. I have been looking into the issue...safely of course." --- This had to be one of the most crowded areas that she had ever been in. Which made it both safe and dangerous. She knew not even Sybil would approve of her drones attacking her in this big of a crowd. But they could blend in really well. With a sigh Nireen shook her head, her eyes going to the food trucks as her stomach growled. She had been surviving off mostly free food she could find and the occasional cheating that put her in danger of being noticed. Biting her lip a bit she got into one of the lines and started looking over the food they had. She hadn't been able to try anything they actually had, and as she got to the front of the line she randomly named things off. As the woman told her the price of the food Nireen couldn't help but frown a bit. She reached into her pocket and gripped two of the blank scraps of paper. Before some guy a few people behind her started screaming about someone stealing his wallet. She was paying more attention to drama than what she handed the woman, and felt more money put in her hand. She gave the woman a weird look before putting it in her pocket and taking her food. "You gave me a fifty hon." Shit! She took the food and money as the woman closed the money drawer before quickly taking off. Well that was going to get her noticed. It didn't take long to hear the woman screaming curse words as she opened the drawer for the next customer. At least she had real money for once though. Sitting down at one of the little benches they had for people to sit at away from the rides. Nireen sat there quietly as she watched the hoards of people walking around carefree. There were a lot of powerful people there, she could feel her body trying to soak in as much magic and energy as it could. She had never been freely allowed around this diverse of races and she could feel it's almost calming effects while eating. Though it was sadly ended as her eyes caught a few people working their way through the food crowd. A few that she knew, and the way they looked at her said they noticed her as well. Throwing what was left of her food away, she started walking as fast as she could without making a scene. She just had to get away from the massive amount of humans. However, instead of finding a place with less humans. She found herself in a place with no one and lots of meeting tents. Well fuck! Turning a corner she saw a man leaving a tent, waiting a few moments she saw no one else leave but the tent was left open. Assuming he had been last one to leave the tent, and seeing her tail coming into the tent area she quickly ducked into the tent. Almost running into a younger man that was heading out of the tent. "S...sorry." She stuttered trying to move out of the way but ended up in a different strong pair of hands. Taking a second she noticed the woman and other two men in the tent. Their engry screamed demon, and she was happy to not be around humans. "Are you alright honey?" Becca asked, her face going from annoyed to concern when she saw the worried look on the girls face. "Sorry….I thought this tent was empty." Nireen mumbled out with a nervous laugh moving away from the guy that caught her. Her eyes going to the back of the tent. What kind of tent had only one exit?! [I]"Search every open tent then. I'm not telling Sybil we lost it again."[/i] A voice came from outside somewhere near the tent and Nireen felt herself panic looking around before moving to the table and turning herself into another chair.
