tune

Zhira frowned. Her first instinct was not to answer, but something made her want to say, "May 14th, 2002" she whispered back, looking at the girl

Adrianna nodded, turning away and storing the information in her brain. Who knows? It might be useful if the police turn up. "Okay, cool, May four- wait. Huh. That's interesting."

Zhira was about to walk away, then paused as she said that, "Oh? Why is it interesting?" She asked, suddenly curious

Adrianna weighed her options- possible humiliation or more information? Then she shrugged, figuring that this girl with ragged and torn clothes couldn't have possibly heard of a Japanese businessman whose specialty was ancient Asian treasures. "Same here. How did you get your torn clothes?" she asked, changing the subject.

Zhira blinked, noting that she had the same birthday before looking at herself, blushing slightly at the state of her clothes, "Er…" she hesitated, "Don't have anything else to change unto" she admitted

Adrianna was half tempted to laugh at this girl's plight, but then she saw the hurt in the girl's eyes, the men lurking across the street with multiple beer bottles, and she sighed. "Here, I'll lend you an apron for now. It's cold outside, you know." She went inside the kitchen to grab the standard white top and green apron of the uniform. This is only because I like debts. This girl looks interesting. You're only doing this because she might be able to repay you, not because she's cute. You can't just like anyone with a pretty face.

OoooOOOOOOooooh 😏//

Zhira smiled, "Thank you" she said sincerely, accepting the clothing. That was the first piece of goodwill she'd received since running away. The drunk men outside were, in fact, a problem. Theyd followed her from the outskirt of the city, verbally harassing her and trying their best to get physical. Zhira shook herself out of the thoughts and walked to the bathroom, changing into the outfit, using the apron more as a skirt to covered her tattered and torn pants. Some people seemed to think that torn pants were a form of consent… and she wanted to try and cover them

Maybe he overheard the discussion about the birthday and was like yEET me too bitches!//

(Ooft, Alright)

Lance, even though he doesn’t like conversations, happened to somehow, miraculously over near the two girls speaking about their birthdays. Intrigued, he walked over, “Hey uh… s-sorry to bother you but I um… couldn’t help but overhear you talking about your birthdays and how they’re on the same date… well um… mine is too…”

(Well, I’ve gtg now anyway… bye bye!)

(Lance: sits quietly not knowing how to initiate conversation…)

(maybe he could overhear them?)

Bye! And lol Gale that's funny//

Zhira looked over at the newcomer, automatically taking a step away. She hadnt really had amazing experiences with any male over the course of her life, especially not recently, so she was always extremely weary

(bye!)
Adrianna was waiting for the girl to return from the restroom when a boy walked up to her. Three birthdays on the same date? My ojiisan always said that one was an accident, two was a coincidence, but three… something's up.

Zhira became nervous in the presence of the male and simply dipped her head, thanking Adrianna for the coffee before turning and scuttling to an open table, taking a long drink from her coffee

Col got up and walked over to the counter. He smiled at the cashier for a second and fixed his purply pink hair.

Lance looked cautiously to the other girl, confusion written on his face. He knew he was tall and kinda intimidating when he wanted to be but was he really that scary?

Col got up and walked over to the counter. He smiled at the cashier for a second and fixed his purply pink hair.

"Paris Baguette, what would you like today?" Adriana repeated, moving away from where Lance was to accept the next order.

"can I have another hot chocolate please." He said as he grabbed the money out of his pocket.

Adrianna put the money in the register, turning around to make the hot chocolate. … Where did the other girl go?

Zhira drank her coffee, relishing the warmth that flowed through her veins. Once finished, she stood and tossed the trash, hesitating before ducking back outside into the cold. She looked around for the drunk men, and sighed with relief when they were nowhere to be found. Shivering slightly, Zhira began to walk away from the coffee shop when someone grabbed her from behind.
"Hey! Let me-" her cries were muffled as a dirty and disgusting hand covered her mouth. She struggled and kicked, but her attempts were futile as her and her attacker ducked into an empty alley nearby. He set her down and she whirled on him, ready to fight, but her attacker gripped her arm in an iron grip, "Mmm" he said, "I need to thank whomever made this gem"
Something inside Zhira snapped. She felt warmth spread throughout her body and all of her muscles tensed. Then, her view changed. Now she was looking up at him? The man's eyes widened and he turned to run screaming like a scared child.
i know Im not that scary Zhira thought to herself before looking down at her…. paws? Excuse me what? Zhira looked up at a piece of broken glass laying on its side nearby and her eyes widened. She was a wolf!

That was probably really bad but Im tired so 👌🏻//

Col modded then waited for her to finish his drink.

Adrianna hummed a classical song under her breath as she turned around, smiling. "Here you go-" Out of the window, she saw one of the men grab Zhira from behind.
The hot chocolate fell to the ground, spattering all over her white top. She leapt over the counter (just imagine Adrianna doing parkour haha), trying not to slip in the puddle of hot chocolate, and ran out the door. "Hey! Stop it! Stop!" Her Japanese accent came back in full force as panic slipped into her voice.
The attacker dragged the girl into the dark alleyway, and Adrianna followed them, running as quickly as she could. "Let go of her, you bas… tard…" Her voice trailed off as she saw the girl morph into a giant wolf. All she could do was stare in horrified awe.
The man tried to run past her, shoving her aside. Adrianna fell to the ground, looking up at the wolf.

Col ran out of the place following her and stopped when he saw a wolf standing there in the alley.
