Casus blinks, startled.
“Hey,” he says, waving awkwardly.
Casus blinks, startled.
“Hey,” he says, waving awkwardly.
“Don’t draw his attention!” Mo squeaks and prays she can suddenly make her small frame even smaller to disappear.
“…He’s got pizza and pasta over there, now’s your chance to run.”
“Thanks, Dee!” Mo grabs Casus’ arm and attempts to pull him to a long burger line that they could disappear into.
Casus just lets himself be dragged.
“Wait, what’s happening?” he asks in confusion and alarm.
Once they’re away Mo lets out a happy sigh of relief. “Sorry. I didn’t want Denzel to see me.” She looks around again to ensure she’s in the clear.
“Who’s Denzel?” he asks.
She points back at the guy from earlier before. “Him.”
Casus tries to get a better look without drawing attention.
It’s the short redheaded guy with a close shave that kind of blends with his tan skin. He’s dressed in a sweatshirt and jeans with dirty painted sneakers and looks nice enough as he chows down into his food, picking something from between his braces after a couple of bites.
Casus sits back down.
“Do you want to talk about what happened?” he asks quietly, with the faintest trace of concern.
Mo frowns. “Nothing… He just makes me uncomfortable. You don’t want your food anymore?” She joins him at the table with her head still on a swivel.
“If there’s another place with food anywhere we can go there,” he offers.
She nods. “We can go out the back way.” Mo points to where they need to go.
“Ok,” Casus agrees.
Mo works her way through some crowds and it the building. “There’s a food stall a quick walk away. They sell burgers there, too. They’re not as good as the ones inside, but they’re edible.”
Casus nods…and almost plows into someone.

the sister? Or is it a dice roll? ![]()
Mo nearly trips over herself when she spots the person.
a character from a different thing ![]()
Casus yelps.
The person-young looking women despite her hair being gray, green roots-jumps as she glances up.
“Oh! Sorry!”
Love a good dimension merge

Mo looks at the woman a bit closer. “Cool hair.” She points.
“Thanks!” the woman says.
“Who’re you?” Casus asks.
“My name’s Pearl,” the woman responds.
“Monáe.” She waves kindly. Before turning back to Casus. “Food then walk. I’m so surprised we figured that out…”
Want someone fun for Pearl? ![]()
