Love and Woe: Wednesday Addams

Chapter 5: Outcast you all today

Pilgrim World was not exactly a fun place, pretty sure the only authentic thing they have is just fudge they serve. It's not much, but there's history to the place, and Wednesday and Anax are gonna learn it. Wednesday made her way towards Pilgrim World and found Anax standing next to Eugene who was taking a photo of Bianca and another girl in a cut out. Anax just looked at his surroundings in dismay. Eugene turned around to find Wednesday walking up to the two. "Hey, Wednesday wanna grab a Hummers group photo? Anax can be in it too." However Wednesday just stared at him.

"Guess not," he commented as a Pilgrim worker came up to the rest of the volunteers that would take part. "Good morrow, my young Nevermore kin." The women whose name is Arlene explain more about Pilgrim World but, let's be honest.... what's there to tell? Anax was mentally groaning about volunteering here, to him it was a reminder of how his family wanted to be normal. He remembers how much his mom and dad always talk about how much they expect him to be normal.

He saw how everything here was just void of color and looked like if he somehow burned one piece, it would all crash down. He started paying attention to the talk when he saw Wednesday had a question. "I haveth a query." "Pray be quick, child." "In the meeting house, which of Joseph Crackstone's artifacts are on display?" "It is truly a treasure trove, including original farm tools, tableware, even the Crackstone family chamber pot." This time Anax butted in. "Sound's fascinating. I volunteer to work there along with her," he said placing a hand on Wednesday's shoulder, which she shrugged off. "Pray no. That exhibit is being renovated. Today, thou will all be working at the beating heart of Pilgrim World."

That 'beating heart' was exactly what it is, fudge. In a place called- "Ye olde fudgery"- thank you Eugene. "More like ye olde diabetes in a box." Wednesday commented on as Anax gagged at the place. "Volunteers, prick up thine ears. Fudge is the lifeblood of our humble community. And samples equal sales. So grab a uniform and a box and make our forefathers proud," Arlene said as she held a box full of uniforms. Wednesday held up a head piece as Anax grabbed a uniform off the table. "Are these for muzzling tourists?" She asked sarcastically as Arlene just looked at her. "Gee thanks," Anax said but he held the uniform up to his body and you could tell he would not in it since he's so tall, "but I can't fit into this." Was what he said as he tossed the uniform to someone else.

*****

Since they didn't have a uniform to fit Anax, he decided to just wear his school uniform, only he took off his blazer and rolled up his sleeves to his elbows. He picked up his tray and used his Anemo power to hold in place. "Fudg-" he was interrupted when a buttload of girls and young women came up to him. They kept talking about how hot and cool he was, but he just kept a blank face at their petty attempts to make him like the girls. Suddenly he had an idea.

Non intelligo quid dicas, amicam quoque habeo, ergo si sonas benigne, id magnum sit.(I don't understand what you're saying, also I have a lovely girlfriend so if you could buzz off, that would be great.) He spoke in Latin, and since most people only speak about two languages the girls didn't understand what he was saying, but they still took the fudge and left. Arlene saw this and gave Anax a smile, but he just ignored her as he walked away. As he walked past her, he saw Wednesday in the shop and had to stop himself from chucking at her since he knew when she spoke a different language.

He turned his attention over to the stocks, where it looks like Eugene is being confronted by some boys also in Pilgrim costumes. He tilted his head behind him and saw Wednesday make his way over to the stocks, but he wanted to take this matter in his own hands. "Howdy, Pilgrims." He commented as he made his way over, with one of the guys putting Eugene in the stocks. The guys looked over at Anax and scoffed at him. "Who the hell are you?" "My apologies, I don't believe we have met. My names Anax... Anax Spade." When he said his last name, Lucas's eyes widened at his last name. "A Spade? Are you related to Damon Spade?" "Who wants to know?" Little did he realize that Wednesday was behind him, he didn't notice but he kept going. "I couldn't help but notice you were putting this young boy in the stocks, and I was wondering, why aren't you in the stocks aswell?" One of them chuckled in amusement. "You want to end up the stocks too?" Anax just stared at them, but soon he smirked at the boys. "Look down," which they saw that their feet were stuck in ice, and when the guy looked up again, Anax punched him straight up in the nose. When the boy was distracted he pulled Eugene away from the stocks and pulled him inside, sticking him in place. Anax looked over at the other two standing there. "Anyone else? I'm just getting started," he said as he cracked his knuckles. "I can't get in any more trouble with my dad," Lucas said as the two boys left.
