Daxter sighed as he gave that a thought."Because then anyone who had some kind of interaction with you could get roped into some weird blood feud between the Vampire'd family and some cult of imps trying to take over their land."Daxter hated being caught up in things that involved him figuring out whether to ignore everything or go with it."Though it would give your parents the idea to name their next child Bear or something.Watch him turn out to be some drug addict on the side of a road selling his teeth to people." "Darn, that's exactly what I wanted," Mouse huffed, giving a dramatic sigh before leaning down against the table she was sitting at. "You sure know how to ruin all the fun." She was very obviously teasing. The last thing on her mind right now was seducing a vampire and getting into some sort of imp blood feud. What she wanted to do was learn how to kill vampires, banish them, get rid of them. "If my parents have another kid now I'll cut off my own leg." She'd scream if she got some random text or sit down with her parents explaining they were having another kid, especially one named Bear. She had been an only child for her entire life. Changing that now would quite honestly give her a heart attack. Plus, she knew she'd be a crappy big sister. What did somebody even do with a sibling? Everything she had in mind probably wasn't appropriate since "kick your baby sibling to see how far he'd go" wasn't socially acceptable. "What can I say,I value my neck."He snorted.He knew he could be a bit unhinged but he was only that when he knew his voice of reason wasn't needed."This fun killer could very well save your life.You might not think so now but you will when you're not in jail for underaged drinking and a DUI."

Seth -- AmberThe library was an interesting place. It was full of knowledge, full of things to learn. There were books on all sorts of things ranging from fiction to other things like the history of the town and neighboring communities. There were books on a number of things, and that was what had drawn Seth to the library. He honestly didn't get out much, and the way he carried himself probably reflected that fact, but today was different. Today he had pushed himself to get out and head to one of the few places he could tolerate. Of course, it wasn't long before Seth noticed the few other people inhabiting the library. He made sure to note where they all stood and what they seemed to be doing. If he could get away with it he was going to avoid them as much as he possibly could. Just because he was out and about didn't mean he exactly wanted socialization, but knowing his luck something would end up happening and he'd be stuck dealing with some poor fool that wanted to talk while he had no interest in returning the favor. Mouse -- ProtractorAnother roll of her eyes, but this time with amusement. "I think it's safe to say your neck wouldn't attract even a starving vamp," she teased. "Hmmm," she hummed, green eyes looking Daxter over for a second as she started to mindlessly draw invisible shapes on the table top with her finger. "You'll bail me out? You're such a great person, the best in this whole cursed town." Daxter was pretty great, Mouse had to admit. Somehow he put up with her, and that was always a plus.

(Just a headsup I changed my post's ending, so that's why the start here is different.)
"No I'm staying here. I have more research to do. You can go home if you'd like, however. I'll just catch up later." Robin turned back to the book in front of her as Sparrow opened his mouth to say something. Nothing came to mind, so he closed it and glared at his sister. The redhead smirked, but said nothing leaving Sparrow to grumble something under his breath.
As he sat at the edge of the table, the young man began to take in the surroundings of the library. A few people occupied the other tables around, doing readings of their own. There were less people around than earlier, which wasn't entirely surprising considering night would fall upon the town soon enough. People were obsessed with being in before dark. That's why when someone else entered the library, Sparrow couldn't help but stare for a moment. He nudged his sister, which was returned with a glare.
"What do you want now?" She hissed at her twin.
"I guess not everyone's ready to stay in yet. Just ask him what you want to know so we can go."
"No. If you want something done right, you must do it yourself," Robin replied. As the stranger passed, Sparrow rolled his eyes and reached out tapping him on the arm. The redhead had no time to protest. It was too late to stop her brother.
"Hey, I have a question for you," Sparrow stated as he watched the guy. Robin shook her head and kept her gaze affixed on her boom. She wanted nothing to do with her brother's antics.

Daxter shrugged."What can I say?I like having my friends in yelling distance.Pretty sure yelling in the middle of jail might make a few people curious."He turned his attention to the rat's nest he'd carried in with him.He hated learning."So do you wanna continue your research on the creepy bush things?I can shut up if ya need."

Seth -- Amber He knew coming out would end up with him getting coerced into some sort of interaction he didn't want. Why, why, had he come out again? He should have just stayed home where he could hunker down and stay to himself. Or, well, he could do what he wanted without some stranger coming over to him with the intent of asking him a question. It was too late now to head out of the library and act like nobody had noticed him, so he decided he might as well get this over with as soon as possible. Turning his dark blue gaze toward the other male that had tapped his arm, Seth tilted his head ever so slightly to the side. "What is it?" He asked, voice low and quiet, creaky even, like he hadn't used it in a long, long time. Mouse -- Protractor Daxter had a point, but at the same time nothing would stop her from screaming in a jail cell. But all of that was besides the point right now, she had some studying to do, and it seemed like Daxter had some to do as well, but maybe he could get away from his studies for a bit to help her out with her grand plan. Picking up her phone and unlocking it, she looked over the page that she had left open before Daxter had made his appearance. She scrolled the page up and down, catching a few things here and there about how to properly protect yourself from werewolves. "I'm gonna continue, but you don't necessarily have to shut up." A sly look then crossed her features. "Ya know, you could study for your stuff later and help me out with this. What's more important? Actually living or lives in this town or the witch hysteria? Which, isn't too far off from what we have to live with, if you think about it." People weren't being executed and hanged for being witches yet, but who knew, maybe that was something to look forward to in the near future.

"So my sister and I are relatively new in town. Well kind of, we moved here in the spring. Anyway because we moved here in the spring we have no idea why people are so afraid of the dark. So, why are they afraid of nightfall?"
Robin buried her face in her hands for a moment as Sparrow asked his long-winded question. Part of her was curious to see what he had to say, but the other part wanted to contiune her research. She enjoyed the challenge of finding out things on her own and having the stranger just answer would ruin it. However it would also get her brother to stop complaining, so perhaps there was something positive to come out from it.

Axel lurked in the trees. He was waiting for night to come. His red eyes glowed in the underbrush. He was getting very hungry. Dang it, I hate waiting for that stupid sun to set. Let's hope at least some people come out tonight. And he waited, crouching on a large branch, his red scarf blowing in the wind.

Scarlet -- @anybodyFinally the season of autumn was upon them. There probably weren't many people in the community of Echo Ridge that honestly enjoyed the particular season, but Scarlet found the season fascinating, exciting. The nights were longer, the air had a sharp chill to it, and there were the creatures that prowled within the darkness. Maybe she shouldn't be excited about that, but she was. The idea of the creatures fascinated her rather than frightened her. It made this boring place all the more bearable for her, and having something to enjoy was exceedingly important for her. Right now the young woman was enjoying the day while it lasted. Once it got darker people would be locking themselves back up inside their homes and that meant the end of her getting anymore customers inside her shop, which wasn't much. Most people simply referred to it as the "Halloween Store", but it was so much more than just that. It was mostly a metaphysical store that leaned a bit more on the...darker side of things, but that didn't mean there wasn't stuff for the more light of heart in her shop. She hadn't been too terribly busy today, which was a bit odd considering sales did go up when Halloween rolled ever closer, but Scarlet wasn't too worried about that. She was sure business would pick back up in the following days, she could wait. And, luckily for her, she was a master at patience. - - - ERIN -- @anybodyToday was one of those days she absolutely dreaded. It was a day where she had to disregard doing everything she enjoyed for the sake of something else, a day where she had to brave the world and actually do something. These days were certainly not her favorite, but it had to be done whether or not she liked it. It was “get out of the house” day. Or, more commonly known to the world as, grocery shopping day. It sucked. It absolutely sucked and ERIN - yes, her name was spelled in all caps, it...it was a long story, one she didn’t have the energy to share with somebody else and neither the energy to get it legally changed to something simple like Erin - hated it. It would be better if she could just get somebody to do all of this for her, but sadly she didn’t have that, so she was stuck with doing everything for herself. Before getting anything for herself, though, she decided she was going to stop by one of the nearby pet stores and grab a few things for her pet since they - she had never really checked to see if the thing was a boy or girl so she just referred to Glitch as a “they” - were running low on food, and if Glitch ran out of food it was a nightmare for everybody and everything. So yeah, there ERIN was, on her way to the pet store and just hoping that all of this didn’t take too long. - - - Gifti -- @anybodyLike most people in Echo Ridge, Gifti wasn't a fan of fall. He enjoyed the cooler weather and the overall aesthetic of it, but he liked the charming, cute aesthetic of fall, not the fall aesthetic that Echo Ridge had. Once upon a time he had found the mysteriousness of fall in Echo Ridge to be intriguing. That was before whatever creatures lurked out there took his sister. Before he had seen firsthand what happened to people who stayed out after dark. Anybody in their right mind would have left the town after something like that happening, but Gifti couldn't get himself to do as much. Part of that was from wanting to stay in the place he had last seen his sister, and another part for staying was the fact that he wanted to put an end to what happened here. He wanted to see if it was possible to find ways to stop all of this before somebody else had to experience what he had gone through. While he wasn't exactly all human himself - a cat shifter to be honest - he wasn't involved with the deadly creatures of the night. Not all non-humans were dangerous. They were attacked and preyed on just as much as the average human, Gifti knew that all too well. Currently he actually was in his cat form, a typical Bengal. He was simply padding down the sidewalks, searching for any scraps of food he could get and then bring back to his home before night fell. Gifti didn't get out much anymore, not after what had happened a few years ago with his sister, but the need for food was strong and that was always something that got him to go out. - - - Time -- @anybodyListen, I'm sorry but my one brain cell has died and can't get out good starters anymore, if somebody wants to do stuff with Time i'll actually do something but for now this is just a placeholder to show he's open and exists since im just going ahead and throwing in all the characters i've planned for this - - - Seth -- Amber"Why are they afraid of nightfall?"That question honestly got a low chuckle out of Seth. It wasn't something he had expected to be asked, but he would welcome it. There were so many questions out there that he would have annoyed him, but this question was one he found to be amusing. It was...cute, in a way. The sheer innocent of these people when it came to Echo Ridge was adorable. They were like little kittens, so new and so naive to the harsh reality of the world around them. "You poor souls," Seth muttered, dark gaze flickering back and forth between the sibling pair. "Did you not do your research before moving here? Then again," he paused and let out a soft hum that sounded more like a rasping click, click in the back of his throat, "I suppose people like to keep quiet about what goes on. Tell me," he paused in his speech once more as he looked away from the two and off in the other direction, "do you believe in monsters?"

(About how old would you say Seth is?)
Robin became uncomfortable with the stranger's sudden change in behavior. She closed the book she was reading and slowly began to get up. He seemed to find their curiosity amusing, like a parent with their confused child.
Sparrow awkwardly laughed, somewhat oblivious to the stranger's change. "Well we just inherited a house from our grandmother. She passed away a few months ago and gave us the house for some reason." Robin pulled on the back of her brother's shirt in an attempt to get him to stop talking. It failed. "We moved here in the spring, so we don't know much about this time of year." Sparrow paused as the stranger made a clicking sound and looked around.
"Do you believe in monsters?" The question was simple, yet unsettling to Robin. She didn't know what the guy meant by it and would rather not find out. Sparrow gazed at the newcomer for a moment. "Yes. There are some terrible people in this world, so in a way they exist."
Robin had a sinking suspicion the stranger wasn't talking about those kinds of monsters. She tugged on his shirt again. "We have to go. I just remembered we were supposed to meet with, uh, Lisa for dinner," the young woman lied. Her brother gave her a confused look.
"Who's Lisa?" The redhead sighed and shook her head.
"Remember? Lisa from the park? She thought you were cute?" Sparrow searched his brain for a moment and shrugged.
"I have no idea who you're talking about." Robin sighed and glanced at the stranger for a moment. He likely picked up on the lie by that point.

[ I have him at 25 but his age is flexible c: ]
Truth be told Seth didn’t get people. He didn’t quite understand the way others worked and what on in their minds, but that was what made the human race so interesting. There were so many different ways for people to react to things and so many different possibilities for others to do things that made Seth curious about people. He didn’t like interactions with others, but he loved to observe and study them. He loved making mental notes of how people reacted, how they took certain things. So while he didn’t quite understand others, he was rather sharp-eyed and could read a room surprisingly well. It was how he could see through the young woman’s lie so easily and how he could tell her brother was oblivious until the very last moment.
How interesting these two were.
”A shame it is, about your grandmother. But I do hope you enjoy your new house.” He kept it short and to the point, as if he couldn’t say too much at once. But the comment made by the boy, how there were terrible people in the world, had Seth’s lips twitching into a lopsided grin. ”Oh yes, those kind of monsters most certainly exist, anybody can see that, but,” another pause as he shrugged his slender shoulders, ”I’d hate to keep you two away from Lisa with talk of what goes bump in the night.” Seth had seen right through the Lisa lie, but he wouldn’t outright say that. The girl was uncomfortable, the boy oblivious. Seth found it all so interesting how the two could react to him so differently, and he was curious to see how his last responses affected them both.

(Ah cool. Sparrow and Robin are around 23.)
The young woman glared at the stranger, hazel eyes hard with irrtation. She didn't trust him nor did she like him. of course that wasn't anything special, it was how she felt about most people. But something seemed especially off about the stranger. Sparrow only nodded in reply to the comment about their grandmother. When he grinned, the young man became slightly uncomfortable and leaned back some. He was beginning to understand his sister's weird behavior. The strange contiuned to speak, then mentioned "Lisa" waiting. The young woman felt relief wash over her. They had a chance to escape.
"Yes, let's go brother." Robin was careful not to use her twin's name as she got up beside him. The less the stranger knew about them the better. The redhead had a feeling the man saw through her lie. She didn't care. She just wanted to get out of there.
Sparrow began to head towards the exit, his sister right behind and ready to go. As they passed the man, Robin lightly shoved her brother forward. He quickened his pace and soon enough they were out of the library. After they were a few feet from the entrance, Sparrow glanced at his sister.
"He was kinda creepy. Don't you think?" Robin tightened the grip on her backpack and nodded.
"Yeah. Definently." She glanced behind at the building for a moment, glad to be out of there. Drawing in a breath, the pair began to head home as night drew closer.

[ ooo nice ]
All of this was amusing to him; at first he had wanted nothing to do with the two, but he had caught them in a lie - or at least the woman in one - and that piqued his never ending interest. Seth had set her off. He had made her uneasy enough to fabricate a lie just to get away. It was adorable how she reacted, how she thought she could just get away like that.
While Seth enjoyed his peace and quiet, his curiosity sometimes got the better of him. He would hate to keep the two away from their dear “Lisa”, but the two had caught his interest and now there was one thing he wanted from them before he let them go for good.
Swift on his feet he headed out of the library, keeping a few yards away from the pair to keep himself clear of detection until he wanted his presence known. Before they got too far Seth called out, ”I hate to keep you from Lisa, but I never did catch a name for either of you.” He honestly would leave them alone for good once he got an answer, but first he had to get out the curiosity he now had bubbling inside of him.

Robin could hear the stranger call after them. Sparrow began to glance back, but she stopped him with a tug on the arm.
"Don't. Pretend we didn't hear him," she stated. The young man simple nodded and contiuned on their path. Despite neither of them looking back, Robin knew he was close. At least closer than she liked. They would have to find a way to lose him, which wouldn't be easy. As they walked along the sidewalk, Robin glanced at her brother.
"Hey we should probably pick up some stuff for dinner before we head home. We're already in town and the general story's around here somewhere," the young woman mumbled. Quickening her pace, Robin led the way forward. At the next intersection, they headed to the other side of the road. The redhead hoped it would be enough to lose the stranger.

Well then. They weren’t being cooperative. Very well. Seth would let them go. If they didn’t want to at least give him their names then so be it. He had already gone out of his way enough for these two, he wasn’t going to do anymore than he already had.
Giving them one last look before they faded off into the distance, Seth chuffed. Not much got past him around here.
Without anything else to do, he turned back and headed into the library once more. There were still a few good hours left before nightfall anyway.

Honestly all things considering, it was a little embarrassing to browse the local pet store for dog treats. Now that’s something that typically wouldn’t be embarrassing if it wasn’t for the fact that Boston Waldo did not in fact own a dog, but rather: he kind of was one. It was a long story, one he didn’t particularly to go into detail about right now. Point was, it was getting to be the time of the month where his more...savage instincts took over and it was just a lot easier to deal with that when he had some ready made treats at his ready.
So the teen carefully kept looking through the options available, eyes slowly going back to the rawhide bones on the nearby shelf. Those would probably keep him entertained for awhile.
Just then, one of his uncles approached from behind. ”Found anything yet?” Kai asked with a delighted grin, holding up an array of different, colorful, small sweaters hanging off his arms. ”I found the cutest cat sweaters over in the cat section, I picked one out for all my cats, think they’ll like them? The last time I tried to put a sweater on Edison he ripped it up before I could even slide it over him,” Kai explained as he shot a look back down towards the sweaters before looking back up at Boston Waldo with a wide, energetic smile.
Kai was pretty good, all things considering. Out of all his uncles, he was pretty friendly, though perhaps a bit uptight. Even still, Boston Waldo has a hypothesis that he was secretly very lonely on the inside, after all as a well respected neuroscientist, he really didn’t have to move all the way to Echo Ridge with Boston Waldo and his father, yet here he was and that’s exactly what he did. Maybe while here, Boston Waldo could try to hook him up or something, he’d make a mean matchmaker after all...metaphorically speaking of course, Boston Waldo would never actually be mean in the efforts of love, that seemed futile and contradictory.
Smiling back at his uncle in return, Boston Waldo nodded and grabbed a few of the bones off the shelf, putting them into the small basket he had been carrying around with him. ”Yeah, I think I’m good now, should we check out?” He asked, casting one more glance at the shelves before throwing in a couple boxes of dog treats.
There. Now he was done.

Now that she was thinking about it she probably should have saved the pet store for last considering that was where she was going to end up with the most stuff. For such a small animal, her pet ate way more than ERIN herself did in a week. Seriously, she was probably about to spend well over two hundred dollars on various pet food whereas with spending for her own food she would maybe max out at forty bucks. Which, didn’t sound like a lot, but all she really ate was junk food throughout the day and, if she was feeling really ambitious, a can of English peas that she didn’t even feel like warming up because that in and of itself was too much effort for her as well. Besides, English peas were good uncooked, don’t judge. Or judge, she didn’t care. The peas were probably what prevented her from getting something like scurvy so why should it matter if she cooked them or not?
Anyway.
It wasn’t much longer that she had made it into the pet store where she grabbed one of the nearby buggies seeing as she was about to put in as much food and treats as she could for Glitch since they could literally eat her out of house and home if they ever wanted to.
ERIN first started toward the dog section of the store. She would get as much as she could there and then make her way through the other sections. See, Glitch wasn’t exactly a dog or cat or rabbit or something, ERIN honestly had no idea what the little thing was, but they ate anything and everything she put out in front of them, so there really wasn’t any right or wrong food to get them and ERIN just went with getting a wide assortment of foods for the creature lest she have to deal with the little accident that happened three years ago where Glitch somehow ate the entire microwave and ERIN had to get a new one all because Glitch had wanted “variety”. Yeah, she didn’t want a repeat of that.
On her way to the dog stuff she noticed a teen and who she was assuming was the teen’s dad. Now a scene like this usually wouldn’t have her stopping to look, but upon a second glance at Teen Dad - he wasn’t a teen dad, just simply the father of a teen - had the largest assortment of little cat sweaters hanging over his arms ERIN had ever seen a man carry. It reminded ERIN of all the cats she had tried to call her own over the years, but every cat had met the terrible fate of being Glitch’s next digestive victim and after ninety-two accounts of feline slaughter, ERIN had decided enough was enough and hadn’t adopted anymore cats in the last year or so. But seeing Teen Dad man dude thing carrying all those cat sweaters made her miss having a cat around. Maybe Glitch would die soon so she could finally get a cat that would last longer than three hours. That would be nice. Either way, ERIN silently wished the guy good luck with his cats. Hopefully they wouldn’t become a meal for some annoying scream machine.

Honestly Kai has been thrilled at the prospect of taking Boston Waldo to get...erm...nutrients for the coming weeks, helping out Ty and Boston Waldo was one of the reasons he had moved out here in the first place. It was easy to say that his brother and nephew were...struggling a little, so why not take Norman - who was taking a semester off from college and needed a place to crash - and come help out a fellow brother? Besides with the combined money they had been able to buy a small but livable house near the edge of town and call it home. It was...well honestly the town was a little weird if you asked Kai, however no more weird than his family was so really they fit in great.
Plus...somewhere like this, out of the way, quiet, quaint, if might be just what Boston Waldo needed.
Speaking of which, Kai nodded in answer of his nephew’s question. ”Let’s check out, then on the way home we can get ice cream, we can’t let your dad know though or else he’ll get jealous and then go buy some himself and then he’ll get sick because he never takes the lactate pills I buy for him and then we all have to suffer later-“ as Kai continued on, he forgot to look where he was going exactly and accidentally tumbled right into a shopping cart.
He would’ve liked to claim that he handled it with grace, but...that would be a lie.
As soon as his knees made contact with the cart his upper body flailed helplessly around as he lurched forward, the edge of the cart hitting his stomach just enough for him to tip over into the cart with a very loud oomph escaping him...and if that wasn’t the worst part, he also lost all of his sweaters, each one flying into the air at high speeds, landing in various places across the store.
It was a disaster.

The last thing ERIN had expected to go inside her buggy was an entire human body, but here she was with an entire human body inside her buggy.
Also, said body had projectile missiled all the cat sweaters into the air and that was just a travesty. That was probably the saddest thing about this whole situation.
Not one with the best of grace, the force of the buggy being ran into didn’t go unnoticed through ERIN’s own body. Before she knew it she was pushed back from the unexpected body and her footing was lost. It wasn’t long before she was also just a limp body laying in a place where bodies didn’t exaxtly belong but ended up in anyway. The air was force out of ERIN’s lungs and for a good minute or two she simply accepted her fate and remained there on the floor. Nothing felt broken or sprained, but she was for sure going to be bruised up and sore in the morning.
See, this was why she didn’t leave her house. Bodies just flung themselves at her and then her own body would just give up as well.
Rather than be annoyed or anything of the sorts, ERIN nonchalantly pushed herself up into a sitting position on the floor, her green eyes slowly blinking as she recuperated from the ordeal. Her attention then turned to the guy in her cart who could very well have died from everything that had just happened - sometimes human bodies were very fragile and could expire over dumb things - and, even with the though that maybe she had inadvertently killed a man in some sort of accidental manslaughter, she simply responded with, ”Well, Glitch eats anything that goes in there, but just you alone won’t do. Know where I can get more human flesh to sacrifice?”

FeathertalonDaxter pondered that for a moment.Study and actually have a basic outline for the future or figure out how to keep that future a future by not dying?Seemed pretty clear to him.Though he wasn't sure how much he'd be able to help after this part was over.He'd probably just end up being the guy in the van of the situation.Telling people where to go but not being able to really do anything.And he certainly didn't want to see someone die from there.Still though,if it came down to it,how hard could it be to talk Mouse out of it? He snorted at that.This was Mouse we're talking about.Trying to tell her not to do anything could lead to a broken nose,black eye,lost teeth,or a combination of any of them(And he didn't like 9 possible outcomes that all hurt).Still he'd like to help. "So whatdaya need my help figuring out?"

Mouse — ProtractorKnowing that Daxter was going to be there to help brought the faintest of smiles to Mouse’s lips. Having support was always nice, especially when her idea would more likely be shot down than accepted by anybody else. “You’re crazy” was the most common response made by somebody when she told them of her idea, followed by a disappointed shake of the head and a “you’re going to get yourself killed, dear. Leave what happens alone” for second. After so much of that it got annoying, and Mouse was more than happy to have a change. ”Right now I’ve just been looking up the basics. Aliens, mythological creatures, cryptids, that sort of thing. Whatever’s out there could be anything, and I say we need to know as much about all this stuff as possible.” An idea came to Mouse and she gestured over to some of Daxter’s pens and papers. ”How about we use some of that to write stuff down? We don’t need pretty notes just yet, but having this stuff down on paper would be helpful.”

Daxter nodded and searched through his stack for the most un-crumpled pieces of paper and sticky notes.As he found them he put them on the top of the stack.He gave some thought to the whole alien theory and took mental note of it's flaws and up sides.Mouse had a point though,anything could be out there.
"I think the knowing key details from their backgrounds could help with the weaknesses.Because even though a day walker and a Vampire look the same,they have their own set of skills and weaknesses no doubt about that."

Mouse nodded. Some of these possible creatures could look as normal as a human, but if they could learn the small details that made them stand out then perhaps they stood a better chance at fighting off the monsters that roamed the night. ”I think we could categorize what we find into three separate sections; humanoid, animal, and unknown.” While Mouse had never been extremely dedicated to organization and whatnot, this protect of hers was different. She needed to make sure everything was as easy to find as possible. This was literally a life or death situation, she didn’t have time messing around, especially if Daxter was going to see this whole plan through with her. She didn’t want to be the next victim, but she’d much rather pick herself as a creature’s meal than Daxter.

By the time they crossed the road, Robin dared to glance back. She watched the stranger turn and head back towards the library. "Good," she hissed with a smirk. Sparrow glanced at his sister as she turned back around.
"I take it as a sign he's gone then?" The young woman simply nodded. Her brother smiled as they headed deeper into town. As they passed the various locals, there was a silent agreement between the two to not ask anymore questions.
