          A small reprieve for Mammon, she does answer back. So at the very least he should be able to follow her voice.

         "Don' want it ta be easy, righ'? Wouldn' be fun if ya caught me instantly, Mammon! Especially since ya can always find yer treasure, huh? Shouldn' be so hard fer ya then!" Its said through a fit of giggles as she manages to dip into another room. Making a quick effort to hide behind some clothes. At the very least, she has a quick exit if need be, and it would be hard for Mammon to corner her.

          How everything these two do ends up turning into a competition, she has no idea. But it was entertaining nonetheless. No matter who won or lost, both of them won in the end with how they liked to celebrate. Whether it's chilling, going out to brag, or even just spending the night with each other.

         "So now we're doin' chase AN' hide-n-seek. Good luck, Mammon!"

Cheating would have been too easy. Unfurling his wings and giving himself a speed boost would have ended one of two ways: with a painful crash into the wall or a game that was over just as quickly as it had started. Mammon desired neither option, so he remained in his ordinary form.

"I wouldn't worry about that too much, Nic." He watched her disappear around the corner and willingly came to a halt. His pace slowed, confidence placing a cocky swagger in his step. "The Great Mammon can always sniff out treasure no matter how well hidden it might be! I'll get'cha alright, but I'll let ya have your fun."

He turned the corner, and his arrogance popped like an over-inflated balloon. Sometimes he forgot how large and confusing the manor could be. It was fun to explore, but he didn't have every single aspect of it memorized.

"Ah, crap. Why'd ya have to go and make it hard, huh?"

         “Mhm. . .nightmares tend ta do tha’.” Leaning against Mari and holding her hand with their fingers intertwined like that, it wasn’t an accident. While a comforting gesture to a degree, it’s so she can keep track of her motions more. Nicole isn’t fully awake and needs to do what she can to be aware of her situation. She feels the tiny shudder that comes with her trying to stifle her tears and wipe them away.

          How Mizuno is gently urging Nic with his own feelings, trying to get her to continue probing because something isn’t right. She knows her son is worried about his other mother. And she cares about Mari too. So all she can do right now is listen and be there for her.

         “I’ll take care of ‘em my damn self. . .” It’s spoken with a yawn as she’s slowly waking up more. Honestly, Nicole has been around enough to know their routine by now and their personalities. “Ain’ nuffin’ gonna happen to ya though. . .none of them, nor me, nor Mizuno is gonna let nuffin’ happen.”

"IT'S NOTHING, NIC, I JUST DIDN'T SLEEP RIGHT." Yet Mizuno would be able to tell that something was on her mind. Nicole might too, if she happens to wake up a bit more—though Mari did her best to wipe them away, her face still glistened with sweat and tears that she was gingerly brushing with her hands. Mari's facade is tough, but cracked with vulnerable slivers. She's trying to be stoic and failing, bit by bit . . . at least with her occasional sniffle.

"I just remind myself its a just a bad dream, that's all it is." It seems, that even the girl with the bleeding heart and a reckless exterior still had fears and doubts of her own. At least a few times has the pressures of being a protector encumbered her and made her shiver with worry.

There's a pause, and another sniffle. She can feel them looking into her—Mizuno moreso than Nicole. ". . . If anything happened to me, you'd make sure my family all ended up in good hands, right?"

                                        'Wow, Hoppy has a good arm.'

          It's a thought as she watches the little plush throw the foam balls. Out of the. . .Smiling Critters, they were called? She really did end up with the sporty one. Not that it was an issue in the slightest, just that the two were polar opposites. But, if Hoppy was able to be friends with everyone in her crew, even ones like CatNap and CraftyCorn who would be more Nic's speed. . .it made sense she'd be able to be friends with her too.

          They just had to be creative about what they could do together while still filling each other's interests.

          So as she declared her desire to be a fire knight, Nicole could only give a soft laugh and an encouraging nod. "--We need a persona ta save! We cain' jus' go around beatin' up dragons fer no reason."

"Yeah yeah yeah! The dragon will be completely melted by my fire balls! Few few few few!" The tiny plush rabbit mimicked the sound of herself shooting fireballs. She was even practicing with the foam balls that (were) in her paws moments ago, throwing them like a pitcher on a baseball field.

Hoppy was so excited to play, it was like she was going a million miles a minute while hopping around the table. "I wanna be a fire knight!" The title of 'knight' sounded far superior to mage, despite knights not specializing in magic! But when Hoppy had something on her mind, it would stick like glue.

"Oooooh wait!" She skid to a halt on the floor, noticing a large pillow. "That can be our dragon!" Hoppy pointed to said pillow, rushing over to grab it, then drag it over to the table and tossing it on top.

          It was better for both of them he kept that little detail quiet. Why ruin the fun now by making her worry about him? Why worry at all when she gets the fun of running through the halls, carefree and enjoying herself?

          His warning was heard, and to be fair, they both knew that Mammon was faster than she was. However, she’s got a little bit better control in sharp turns or sudden stops. “Ha! If I go any faster, yer never gonna catch me!” Of course he would, but not today. Nicole is quick in making a sharp turn down another hall, and then a secondary into a room.

          This place was full of extra rooms and hidden passages, even places that served no purpose, but made small hideaways for people around her or Luke’s small statures. Poor Mammon probably didn’t know about their little hideouts! Or if he did, he couldn’t fit in them! She’s on her way to finding one, needing to put more distance so he can’t catch her, at least not as quickly!

The prideful part of him wanted to point out that she couldn't let him get away with the things she didn't know about, but he had the rare chance to think before he spoke — and he thought that it was best that he not mention it.

Instead, he let out a playful growl that matched the way he barked her name. He wanted to catch her, but there was no fun in it if he caught her now. She was fast without him giving her a head start, but he didn't bolt through the door as quickly as she did. He leaned against the frame, watching her back as she ran. Then, he counted.

"Got three seconds, babe. Three... Two... One!" He ran, foot only barely slipping as he booked it for the brightly colored speck at the end of the corridor.

"Better pick up the speed!"

         “Well i’s nice ta meetcha, Mista Hatheway. Names Nicole. Nicole Akiyama!” A perfectly normal guy, if not super jovial and excited about his work. But she’s glad someone is all the same. “Did ya need help runnin’ errands? I’m kinda jus’ meanderin’. An’ I dun held ya up long enough from yer work, lemme help an’ make it up ta ya!”

“Victor’s th’name, terrors three are Abbie, Henri, and Daniel.” Hm! What an interesting little spark. Her soul wasn’t human at all, now that he got a proper look at her. “Victor Hatheway, workin’ at th’ mortuary and funeral home. I’m runnin’ some errands, otherwise I’d be there t’day.”

#casketdweller #you’re all good bean friend! #also hells yeah #lavender tea is v calming #I got coffee to no one’s surprise LOL

[gamenu]

         “I’s nuffin’ tha’ has a time constraint on it. So I’m okay ta sit an’ chat!” How polite of him to worry about her! Then again, for a guy like him in his industry, he probably has a lot of time constraints. It would behoove him to be consistently conscious of it. The offer of a drink was met with a mildly confused look. It was nice all the same, and he was probably just being polite. But she still couldn’t necessarily fathom why go the extra mile? Even so, it would be rude to decline, so it’s only after a few seconds that she nods. “If lemonade is an option. . . can I get that?”

          She wasn’t one for much, but she does know how much she loves her favorite non carbonated drink. Especially since it was basically being offered to her.

          Retracting her hand once he shakes it, she politely listens to him talk about his music. So he’s an idol too. Both funny and sad to know, she’s never heard of him or his group. Maybe she’s been living too long under a rock? There’s no way she shouldn’t know if she bothered to socialize more.

          Even so, she’s socializing now! And it was no issue that he started going off about his music. It was actually kind of endearing just how passionate he got about it. While grateful it was her kind of music, she finds herself thinking that even if it wasn’t, she would still make an effort to go and listen. There was just something infectious about how excited he was, it made her at least want to give it a shot.

         “Ah, tha Livehouse is where ya were runnin’ off ta when we first met. Wasn’ it?”

Thankful enough to have nothing to worry over ultimately. A curt nod of his head. Best to not drag the conversation out when she's clearly unphased by the situation. A moment of the past. Let bygones be bygones. Everything works out in the end. "I hope my offer ain't keepin' ya from anythin'," added on when she decides to take a seat. "If ya want a drink, I can go get one for ya. There's an assortment of teas and coffees here, but they also offer some juices too."

A reason he always came this location when not around the main establishment and its small surrounding community. He makes some yen on the side during his personal gigs to afford anything outside ES. "The same goes to ya, Akiyama." He pauses momentarily at her outstretched hand.

It's not a matter of her being a girl -- it's simply the gesture throws him off a bit. It's not as if he's shaking a fan's hand, so the situation's a bit different. Oh -- maybe she's... No, ya idiot, don't make any shitty assumptions. He finally reaches a hand out to shake hers back. Though, when Nicole mentions hearing his work, there's a perk up from the guitarist.

"Hell ya! Ya can always find some of our works on music platforms like spotify or youtube. Not all of my personal works are up on those platforms, though. After all, my side work doesn't relate to my idol works. Rock'n'roll is the best, so I do hope ya love it too! Oh... but if ya wanted to see my unit's work in person, sadly those ya gotta get shit in advance for. But we do like to do stuff on the side that ain't through our agency, after all our one unitmate's family owns the Livehouse we frequent." He starts going off without it quite clicking in his mind.

Well, he's aware if she looks them up, she might come across his dumb senior's variety show moments, but he's gotten much better about that!

#wildwoof #oh no he’s getting passionate about his work #that’s the one way to get anyone excited about it

[gamenu]

          Her response is another yawn, nuzzling further into Mari's shoulder as she sleepily laces her fingers with hers. A comforting motion, despite how sleepy she was. Half asleep still, all Nicole can do is give a slow, soft shake of her head against Mari's shoulder. Mizuno is the one who woke her, not Mari herself. But she understood why the leviathan did.

          Once Nicole was settled, Mizuno snaked his way over. Curling aroun both girls, he rested his head on Mari's lap. He was trying to hug her just the same. No matter the nightmare or issues she had, the ginger and her pink friend were here for her. The loved her and wanted her to feel it.

          After a moment of trying to wake up, she forces herself to speak though. "Wha's. . .goin' on. . .?"

FROM INSIDE, SHE HEARS NICOLE SHUFFLING, roused by Mizuno's antics. His worry is like a faint buzzing in the back of her mind—it's very much not helping the situation. Sometimes monsters' emotions intermixed with her own; the frustration, the sorrow, the bitterness. She tries to be numb to it, continuing to wipe her tear ducts with her fingers and pinch her sinuses in a soothing emotion. Mari hopes that Nicole will go back to sleep, but soon enough, she feels an arm slip around her waist.

The rider sighs defeatedly. Even if she was frustrated, she can't find it in her heart to point any of that towards the two. Just when she thinks she's about to get herself riled up, she relaxes, and places her hand over Nicole's. Her thumb brushes it gingerly.

"I woke you guys, huh . . .?" She murmurs, before sighing once more. "Sorry about that . . ."

         "Listen, sometimes i' feels really good ta jus' tell folks ta fuck off an' especially if youse were right abou' somethin'? A little pettiness can help i' no' become vengeful in tha long run. As bad as i' can sound, i's good so long as i' doesn' go too far an' unjust." At least in her opinion. Nicole knows many times how easily things have been quelled because she got to be petty in the moment and get her frustrations out of her system.

          Was it the same for Naoto? For someone so level headed, she would hope that small acts of pettiness keep her from retaliating worse.

          As the cats gained more interest in the treats, Nicole politely waved off Naoto as she retrieved another lint roller from her bag. Cleaning herself off the same as the girl next to her, she smiled.

         "Ready ta go? Now that we ain' bein' held hostage no more, we can head on out."

“Much like people themselves. I’m certainly not immune to having moments of pettiness.” It’s a bold thing to admit, especially for a detective, but it’s better than pretending to be flawless. And if one of the novels she had recommended was about a woman getting revenge...

A lint roller... “Thank you for your wisdom.” Right away, she’s off to work, removing cat hair and other various things they’ve left on her. It takes a few minutes and by the time she’s done, it appears that the cats have lost interest in them and have gathered around the treats. It looks absolutely terrible to hand back, but as it has no sheet for her to tear off...

“...Here.” It’s easy to tell she’s a little embarrassed.

         "Those places are really nice. . ." Still leaning against him and keeping pace as she follows along. Now whether they stop to eat or actually grab it to go, she's unsure of what they'll decide when they get there. But if he wants to stop and actually eat, she's more than willing to sit with him. After all, he's been adjusting for her. It's only fair she do the same.

         "If youse wanna sit down, I'm more than okay doin' that. If i's kinda empty like you say, i's more than okay wit' me."

"I know this one place that hardly has people there, but it's good." Frank now tells her. "Kinda like those hidden gems you know?" He doesn't want her to deal with too many people as it already seemed like it was a lot as it was. Hell, he still wanted to beat the shit out of the guy that bugged her. But he'll let it go… for her.

"We can just take it on the go too if that's better."
