"So no taxis, Ubers or long-distance buses. There is a tourist bus that stops at pilgrim world before heading on to the next spooky attraction." Wednesday mutters as she traces along the map spread out before us. I quietly sip on my ice latte, savouring the caramel taste of my treat. It always amused Pugsley that I would only drink cold drinks and eat cold food. You can't blame me, it's not my fault I'm built like a furnace. "What about trains, we would need to buy a ticket at some point during the journey. Do we have sufficient funds?"

I hum in thought, mentally imagining my bank account balance.

"Of american dollars or Drachma?"

Wednesday lets out a little huff, placing down her empty cup with an eye roll. "Oh yes, let's use Agnostos currency in the normie."

"Careful, sister." I drawl in amusement. "We are referred to as outcasts here."

"Yes, you are." I turn towards the boy standing next to our booth. What in the name of the seven kingdoms is he wearing? "And you are sitting in our booth."

Is this a normie thing that I don't understand? Nevermind that, is this a people thing that I don't understand?

"What's a Nevermore freak doing out in the wild anyways?" One arches a brow, eyeing us up an down.

"Or two freaks apparently, is this your girlfriend sweetie." the other mocks as he leers down at me, I fight the urge to cower from his gaze. Especially as I horrifically familiar rage creeps up on me.

"Why are you dressed like religious fanatics?" My sister ignores their previous comments and I fight the urge to sneeze as the overwhelming stench of sugar and sweetness. How can they smell so disgustingly sweet?

"We're pilgrims."

"Potato, po-tah-to."

"We work at Pilgrim World." I watch as one of the boys turns over the corner of the map we were using to show an ad for 'Pilgrim World'.

"It takes a special kind of stupid to devote an entire theme park to zealots responsible for mass genocide." I choke on my drink at Wednesday's words. Why must she always antagonise people?

"My dad owns pilgrim world." One of the pilgrim bites out. "Who are you calling stupid?"
