*IM AWAKE AGAIN*

*(CRAWLS OUT OF HOLE)*

Kraus is building a pen for the animals he herded back to the inn. He looks tired to say the least. 

Eve is napping in her tattoo parlor, seeing as there are no customers at the moment. 

Jack is walking around town, taking notes on every little thing he can find.

 A customer enters Eve’s shop. The door wakes her up.

 She blinks her eyes and stretches, yawning. "Hello, and welcome to my tattoo parlor.."

Nobody is there. Somebody taps her shoulder.

 She bristles and turns around.

  Casey Santino-Marrow is floating, upside down in front of her. “Heya, Eve.”

 "Oh crap.." she quickly backs up "How did you find me.."

 He grins and slowly turns right side up. “Just a coinkydink. But you know you ain’t supposed to leave the circus.”

 "I had too.." she said, her voice shaky.

 “And why’s that? Huh?” Casey’s grub is extremely unsettling.

 "I saw what you were doing to them.." she flattened her ears against her skull.

 “Oh, ya did? Did ya?” Casey narrows his eyes. “Don’t ya care about your dear old boss’s health?”

 "No when your draining it from others." She narrows her eyes. The tattoos of vines on her arms sprout thorns.

 Casey teleports behind her. Her door locks. “Don’t go talking about that in public, Eve, or I’d have to shut ya up.”

 She bitterly stares at him, her tail flicking. She knows better than to fight him, heck he could tear her into bits.

Eve is napping in her tattoo parlor, seeing as there are no customers at the moment. 

Jack is walking around town, taking notes on every little thing he can find.

Eito, clasping a small vial of faintly-glowing ink, enters the establishment. *what does eve look like?*

 *5'7 Tabaxi, Sphinx Cat Lineage. She wears a sleeveless black hoodie, a white crop top, and black baggy cargo joggers. Her skin is a canvas of tattoos resembling flowers and vines.*

She looks up, blinking the sleep from her eyes. She yawns "Hello, and welcome to the tattoo parlor.."

“The exterior is a test. An obstacle to overcome. And a tool to be used to reach the truth. I come seeking a refinement of my exterior with words I know well. This will be necessary.” They set the vial on the counter.

 She grins, her eyes glinting. "A fine pigment, where did you get it?" She asked, chuckling.

“I… don’t, recall…” Eito’s eyes narrow, as if something is just out of their mind’s reach. “…but I know it is sacred. What is written may well be remembered. It is suffused with emanations of light.”

 "Hm.. what are you looking for exactly?" She asked.

Eito deposits a drawing of a strange symbol, elegantly drawn. “It has a power of its own, as all words do.”

 "Hm.." she traces it out on a stencil paper, her ears flattening against his skull in focus.

Eito waits patiently. “I apologize for the current state of my skin.” They say, gesturing to the patches of light. “Circumstances… have made things difficult as of late. In the inscription, it would be safest to avoid hitting the holes.”

 "No no, I love a good challenge." She chuckles "It's a little much but I think if you give me enough time, I can get it."

 She bristles again and sighs "Fine.." she hisses, her tail flicking back and forth in fear and agitation.

Douxgras is now baking pies. Pecan, apple, peach, water, blueberry, lime, vanilla, and so on. Most of them are flavors not even the Saviour has likely tried.

Kraus is outside in the forest. He is taking out unneeded emotions, such as anger and violence, on a tree. His eyes are dark and an angry red color. He smashes his forehead against the wood, leaving a sizable dent. 

Jack is sitting outside, sketching out a picture of the city. He still appears a little shook about appearing here suddenly but is calming down a bit. 

Eve is creating new tattoos, sketching them out on stencil paper.
