Hello new character! Isn’t he lovely? Looks like he got himself into a spot of bother…

Next week’s post is going to be filler, due to Nami being out of her special comic paper and us going home (and in my case proceeding to travel around ridiculously) for the holidays. But we promise it will be fancy and fun anyway! There may be a few random other things that we put up over our school holidays as well—I believe Nami had a doodle or two in mind.

If you are in school like us enjoy the break and good luck with exams, and for the rest of you, I hope your holiday season is enjoyable.

[[Mhichil eases into the alleyway, one hand reaching into the front of his coat as if gripping something.]]

Mhichil (thoughts): To the rest, we are concealed behind false appearances...

[[He reaches the end of the alleyway, peering around the corner to see that three people in black leather coats, one of whom is clearly holding a knife, have backed a fourth person against a wall. On the ground behind him is what looks like a blanket and bags.]]

Mhichil (thoughts): ... like shadows on the edge of night.

[[Closer up, the gang appears to be made up of demons, all of them displaying their horns prominently; there is a fourth member who was not previously visible. The man they have cornered is wearing light earth tones, matching the colours of the tiny wing on the left side of his forehead.]]

Man: I don't want trouble. I'm not here to fight anyone.

[[The demons laugh. One, a woman in a purple shirt who appears to be the leader, licks the blade of her knife, grinning at him.]]

Demon: Don't think you can weasel your way out of this.

[[She locks eyes with her quarry, still smirking.]]

Demon: What, you think were going to let a celestial just walk all over our turf?

[[The man identified as a celestial glares back at her, making a frustrated noise.]]

[[Mhichil is still watching from around the corner. His eyes widen slightly in surprise.]]

Mhichil (thoughts): A celestial? ...

[[His eyes narrow thoughtfully.]]

Mhichil (thoughts): ... But what is a celestial doing down here?
