What was right, how was he going to hide this while working? Maybe if he begged Sal and his mother enough, they would let him work in the back of the kitchen, out of sight?

Yeah right, they'd just laugh and say, 'YoU sHoUlD hAvE ThOuGhT oF tHaT BeFoRe YoU rObBeD sOmEoNe!' Honestly my best hope is to pray that he doesn't come or he just doesn't recognize me once the hood is off and the corset and heels come back on!

He thinks to himself bitterly, doing a mocking voice internally when he guessed their response. He looks up and sees Kos entering the Crimson Brew and freezes.

''Shit! What's he doing here?!''

He then quickly runs and ducks down an alleyway to the back entrance, unseen by the colossal Automaton. He sighs in relief and walks foreward, accidentally bumping into Sal.

"Whoa there! Hands off the funbags! As flattered as I am, I already have a husband!"

"What? No I-"

The alp laughs as she gives a hearty slap on the startled half-elf on the back, her well-built frame heaving with each breath.

"HAHAHAHA! Relax Richie! It's only a joke, and it was an accident! Now take this cloak off and get-"

"Sal, honey! Some big guy wants to talk to you! Got the guard's crest on him!"

A man's voice calls out from the counter for the teasing bar owner.

"Be right there Harvey!" she called back before looking back at the now uncloaked seventeen year old. She looked closely at his face, squinting as she cupped it and tilted it to one side.

"You smudged your makeup, probably from trying to hide your face under that thing so much! Yuuki! Mona! Come over here and help Regina get ready to serve some tables!"

Sal then walked away towards the counter to meet with Kos as Yukki the Jorou-Gumo enters with the corset and high heels he left behind and Mona the yeti with a makeup kit and two bread dough balls the size of grapefruit halves. Richard groans before tifting his arms up and to the sides.

"Make it quick, I got a long night ahead of me!"

Sal walked up to the counter and kissed her husband on the cheek before sending him off with a light smack on the rear. She then turns to Kos and leans one arm on the counter. "So, what bring you around here? I know it's not for the food and drink. Was Brie's kid up to something again?"

Hush taps his three right fingers impatiently as he looks at the maps, trying to figure out who to go for his meal before scouting out Leander's manor. He had spied outside of his hiding place in the sewers earlier to learn the guard's rounds and shift changes. He also noted that none of the guards were carrying anything to protect them from vampires, like garlic, silver or religious objects, nor were any saying anything about them in the conversations he listened in.

''So nobody knows yet... makes things easier for me then...''

The only people who knew about his condition were Hush, the leader of the Crimson Blades, and the vamp who bit him, as it was fairly recently he became afflicted. The old man who shot him might suspect of him, but who knows if he'd even believe it himself! He looked again at the two maps, searching for any buildings that would have a drain to the sewers large enough for him to crawl through. The most likely places being butchershops, bathhouses and hospitals.

Brianna would go down the stairs, fully dressed and seemingly much more chipper after some rest, a long bath and some "alone time". Sylvia was tied to her belt at the hip, Brianna feeling compelled to keep the mask close by, not knowing of the demon's existence.

"Whew! I barely even was able to keep up with Richie's mom! She is a freak! I got a lot of Ideas of what to turn you into once I finally get out of here! I wonder what-"

When Brianna entered the kitchen to get her apron and start her shift, she saw what had happened to Richard and giggled slightly. Sylvia, however, would break into hysterics

"HA! HAHAHAHA! Oh, oh, my sides! HAHAHAHAHeeheeheeheehee!"

Fortunately, no one but "Regina" could hear the trapped Lilim's laughter, much to their annoyance.

"It's not funny." The half-elf replied, a very unamused scowl stuck on their face under the makeup.

"Oh be honest, it's a little funny! Now don't forget to smile, they tip more when you give them a real smile honey!"

"Yeah, I don't want to find out how funny grandpa thinks it is when he comes to visit tonight."

Brianna smile quickly turned to a surprised look.

"He's coming here? But he never leaves his shop! Not unless he's need groceries, which I get for him so he doesn't have to 'abandon his family'!"

"Yeah, well he had no choice. Drenn broke out and tried to rob him, he and some guy in a skull mask!"

Brianna went stiff, one hand partially covering her mouth while her other hand wrapped curls up against her chest.

"What?! What happened? Is he hurt? Did they catch them?"
