Clary looked up and away from her book and let her her eyes land on the source of the new and unfamiliar voice. Truth be told she hadn't moved her gaze from her book because she was uncertain if he was referring to her or not. But she had to check and quickly came to realize he did mean her.
"It does sound a little weird." She agreed, a smile coming to her face. Which was definitely a vast improvement on her features on this gloomy day indeed.
It was weird to her because she didn't exactly see herself as something that didn't fit in this gloomy day. Or maybe it appeared that way because she wasn't very used too much gloomy weather in their small town. Whatever it may have bee, she didn't care. She was flattered and curious.
Curious because she did not know who he was. Obviously not a town native, neither was she, but she had been here a longer than him. It was easy to tell because Eadlyn hadn't known him either. And he knew everyone.
"I don't mind at all, I would like it very much, actually." Clary set down her book, just as Eadlyn came over to the table and set down Liam's Order and stalk back to the counter. Usually, he'd probably stay and chat, but there was another customer who had just entered. A short, dainty woman. But, Clary didn't pay her much attention. "I'm Clary," She introduced herself, holding out her hand to shake his.
"First, though, are you at drawing? Because I don't want an ugly portrait of myself."

"Have I gone mad?"
"Yes, you're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are."

Hearing the chiming of the bell indicating there was a new customer and potential friend always brought a smile to Eadlyn's face. And immensely so on this drab of a day. He was grateful for more people to come inside the cozy shop despite being the only one on duty, ultimately meaning he'd have to be on his feet if more were to come."Have I gone mad?"

He didn't mind, the more the merrier. And at least he'd have something to do because standing behind the bench all day with nothing to do would have killed him. Some would think he had ADHD, honestly, sometimes he thought he did too. But, it made nod difference for him if he did.
When the newcomer came in, an Asian man he hadn't known, but seen before, came inside and ordered he immediately went to work. With a smile on his face, he had quickly returned ready to strike up a conversation, wanting to get to know the young man, but he was already talking to Clary about some drawing.
So, he simply set his things on the table and returned to his spot only after another person had entered. That made him happy, he loved meeting new people. And he had seen this dainty woman before too.
"Chocolate latte, peppermint brownie and two raspberry macaroons ..." He repeated her order with ease regardless of her much different and distinct Russian accent. Many people from all over the place lived in Apple's peak.
Once again he was moving to fulfill a customer's order, making her chocolate latte up front in sight where the machines for the job were set. He smiled pleasantly and let his eyes fall on camera."Are you a photographer or is it just a hobby?"

"Are you?" Lory snapped, her voice low as she whipped around to face the man, who turned out be annoyingly tall. And it didn't help that she was just short either. She had to arch her neck back to look him in the face. She didn't care if he was much bigger than her, she raised her chin and gave him a full on glare."I know you. I walked with you once upon a dream."

He had knocked the book from her hands onto the ground and almost her along with it. Of course, she should have sat down before distracting herself and beginning to read, but he should have been watching himself too.
To be honest, she would have normally just let it go and walked way. But Lory was already in a sour mood because of many things and most recently before he was because of the rude librarian. And then he had to turn out to be rude too.
She crouched down to pick up her book with one hand and popped back up into her standing position. "Because I'm sure if I smacked this book on top of your head, you'd really be sorry."

Mei was happy. Very pleased. And that would be peculiar on a day like this with her conditions.
For starters, she lived alone and across the country from her family. Sadly, she could only scrape up enough money to visit them on the holidays. Though she had only moved to the town of Apples Peak three months ago, she had been away from her parents for two years.
She didn't have many friends at all, and business was sour.
That was, until now. She found herself completely booked in her security work.
Why? Because someone had died, and it was a sad thing. That that poor, probably sweet, young girl had to go so horribly. But thanks to that all the rich snobs that lived in the quaint town were looking for bodyguards, excellent bodyguards. And Mei was the best of the best.
With that, she'd make a load of money and she could go see her Baba and Mama sooner than the holidays. She was so happy she decided to go for a run. No gloomy clouds or drizzling rain would prevent her from any form of exercise.
Unfortunately, she had yet to wash her laundry. She came to a conclusion to go for a walk instead and not on the trail, the trail she usually went on, the one the girl had died. The dark haired woman instead made her way to the park.
Just as it came into view, she noticed a pacing woman. "Are you okay?" She asked, approaching the woman. It was a little peculiar to see anyone on this day outside of the park pacing with a worried look on their face.

The fact that a girl had died was far from her mind, and maybe it shouldn't have been, but Rae had other things to worry about. Like whether or not she had enough money to get back home on the bus. She hoped she did because she didn't want to be stranded downtown just because she was silly enough to forget her wallet."Who says my dreams have to stay just my dreams?"

Currently, she was sitting on the bus as the driver drove into the downtown area of town. She was the only passenger, though. And it gave her a weird feeling, for once she had a seat to sit in. Usually, the buses were full of people, loud and vibrant. Usually, the whole town was a busybody regardless of it being a town. It was like living in a city at times.
But, no, some poor girl had died, leaving most of everywhere vacant. The town, Apple's Peak, was a close-knitted town and everyone knew just about everyone and if not they heard of that someone. That was where it differed from a city.
Rae's stop had come, so she jumped up from her seat, grabbed her purse and climbed down the steps. She made her way down the pavement, hands in her pockets and stopped out the outside of a restaurant. The same restaurant where her good friend Hans worked.
They had decided to hang out for the day and she was always happy to spend time with her friends. And they hung out often, the only difference this time around was the fact that his brother would be tagging along. And she had yet to meet him.
If he was anything like his brother, she would like him a lot.
She leaned against the outside wall of the restaurant next to the entrance door and sent a text to Hans to let him know she was waiting outside.

Julian walked down the pavement into a garage shop.
Normally, he would be driving to where needed to go in his sleek red mustang. But, unfortunately, some asshole had hit his car when he was away and ran off without paying the cost. So, he was walking just about anywhere in this town.
Sure, he had two more cars in his possession, but he lent one to a friend and another to his parents. And they had ye to be returned, but he didn't worry too much about them. His mustang was really all that he cared about.
And yes, he could have taken a taxi. But, Julian hated taxis and there was no way in hell he'd climb into the back of one again. The last time he had been on one left a bad taste in his mouth. He'd rather not deal with it ever again.
However, to make matters worse. He had a hangover. He had gained it from a party last night after having too many drinks. It had gone away slightly on his way to the car repair shop.
When he arrived, the place was practically empty. It probably had something to do with that young little girl that was found dead recently. His care was supposed to have been fixed days ago though. He wasn't going to take any excuses.
Julian walked up to the counter and rung the bell after seeing a figure in the back. It looked to be a woman. "Hello?" He called.

"Okay, Toby, let's gather as much information as we can from here and get going. We have a lot of work to do today." Holly said to her partner as they stopped in front of the yellow police tape blocking off the area where the young girl had been killed.
Anyone who saw them would have thought they were trespassers. And to the Outsiders, they would have been. But they were here on official business, just not legal business. Again, that was only to the Outsiders. Outsiders they may be, but they were a big deal considering the world was full of them and so they had to abide by their rules. Or at least on the surface.
Holly lifted the police tape and went under to the examine the area. Like she had said, they didn't have time to play around or waste. Not that she ever sis, it was her partner who had. He was more into the other part of their duties which they would have to fulfill right after this before nightfall.
At the moment, though, their job was to investigate the death site and find any clues that would help determine whether her death was caused by an Outsider, in that case they wouldn't involve themselves, an Everafter or worse case scenario the Monsters.
She was hoping it was the very first.
After they found clues, they were to find the Seedlings of the New Wave. The New Wave. It was a special month where Apple's Peak called for new Everafter's to come to it. And there was a story to that, there was a story to the whole town in which she would have to explain to these Seedlings.
Holly was good at explaining things, but being nice she wasn't good at. That was where Toby came in. He attracted people better than she ever would.
"Honestly, just from looking at this place, it was definitely no Outsider." She murmured.
The site was a wreck, the ground was slightly trudged in mismatch places, many trees were split, many large branches broken. And it wasn't just the one spot they stood in, no, all of it led up to the spot. The girl had been chased and killed where they stood.
The police were wise to keep this unexplainable part from the public. She was sure they were baffled themselves. But, she she knew it could be explained, rather easily too.
It was either an Everafter or a Monster.
