Paradise? Guess again.

The sign had caught her eye. It looked very........ questionable. The store itself seemed well enough, even though it was filled to the brim with confections of the likes nobody's ever seen, but there might have been a reason for that. But who was she to decide? What still held her attention was the sign.

In this somewhat dismal town, as Alice thought of it, was a shop filled with cookies, cakes, and God knows what, next to a store apparently selling guns and another selling sickeningly frilly, prissy looking clothes. There was just such a distinct contrast between the gun store and the cafe that she could have sat there pondering all day, and not come up with any reason why they would be next to each other.

I might as well go sit down inside to rest for a bit before heading home. Last night was awful!

With a spring in his step and whistling tune, Damian strolled down the street. "Ah, a lovely day indeed! Is it not?"

No, where are we going?

"Guns, my silly friend. That demon with the gun taught me I'm not well armed enough. If I'm to continue masquerading around as the spooky Wraith, I'm going to need to be able and protect myself with something other then tricks."

You dare question the Wraith's power?!

"No, but I do question my control, it's lacking." Damian stopped and pondered. "look there." The gun store he'd researched stood directly next to a sweet shop, and next to that a frilly store. "Someone has a sick sense of humor." His tongue out in disgust. "That's so distasteful I can actually taste it, takes like stale cake with oil covering it."

Your imagination is to vivid for my liking, enter the store, purchase a weapon, and leave, we need not be here any longer.

"Hold," Damian eyes scanned the area. Humans coming and going, nothing unusual, but there. "A demon," he smiled and his raven eyes shown bright.

What do you intend to do, harass them? This is a public place and you'll draw too much attention.

"Oh silly spirit, I have more subtlety then that. I've something entirely different in mind." He smirked and homed in on the demon's presence. He walked up to her, calmly, and tapped her shoulder. "Excuse me," He said smiling warmly "But are you as conflicted as to those stores locations as I am?" He laughed a bit.

What are you up to Damian? DAMIAN!

"Just a thought."

Alice was facing the demon before he could even speak. If she didn't have those reflexes, well she'd be out of a job and a life, literally. If it had been night when someone did that, she'd have reached straight for her gun but she had the discipline and sense not to bring it out in the daytime.

She looked at him for a few seconds before saying anything. Psh, figures... A bird. "I do admit that I was wondering about it for a bit but I was just about to go in so if you'll excuse me." I really don't have any intention of speaking to a bird, especially with all those rumors going around about them.

[Evagorn]

There she's leaving, now we can go back to our business and-

"Please wait," Damian just faced her calmly "If it wouldn't be too much trouble I'd like to speak with you about something, since I'm aware you're no stranger to, rumors, floating about." He smiled.

Sometimes, sometimes I wish it wasn't my turn!

"I promise I'm not crazy, although saying that is a tad unreliable considering a crazy person might say that." He laughed "But I'll make it worth your while, and besides it's not like I can pull any funny business out here, you've nothing to lose but a few minutes of your day." He looked around, "Of course a place to speak would be nice, since I'd don't feel sane entering any of these stores."

But we were here JUST to buy this gun! DAMIAN!

"If you'll take the time to hear me out, might you suggest where you'd be more willing to speak?" He smiled.
