With the everlasting moon shining its light through the open window, Faust sits on the edge of the king-sized bed, blankly staring at the large, empty TV in front of her. Only the moonlight keeps the room visible to the eye, as Faust stares at her own reflection on the blank TV.
Her body is literally halfed vertically, as if a guillotine has cleanly fall through her head down her middle. Her 'wound' is as black as the sea's abyssal depth, it faintly emitting wriggling clouds of ink-like shadows, though the moment a particle separate from her body, it'll disperse to thin air.
Slowly, as she focuses her vision towards her reflection, the darkness that is her 'wound' suddenly erects themselves sideways. It continuously wriggles about like a bundle of black worms, till eventually, it forms a dark silhouette that fits what supposed to be the rest of Faust's body.
"Are you sure you wanna let those two roam free?" With the same, robotic and radio-like voice, a voice echoes from the silhouette.
"Yes. What reason would they have to run anyways?" She responds, with a tone as dead-panned as her other half.
"Perhaps, now, they don't have any. But once they see the right moment, or if something changed their minds..." The silhouette tilts her head, "You'll be in trouble, y'know?"
"Don't you worry. They're much more fragile than we initially thought. Especially... That Archangel..." The smile on her mask widen slightly, "Hah, I don't even need any effort to get him to stay. He really don't want to risk having his precious little butterfly get stolen by that Fox... Quite the most ridiculous of reasonings, correct?"
"Ren Kitsuko," The silhouette reminds, "You do... Remember his name... Right?"
"Right. Anyways... How is your collective doing, my Other Half?"
The silhouette puts her shadowy fingers on the chin of her pitch-black mask before humming, "I admit there's been... Slight contention with Kao and Sion... But, I believe things are well. a contention as in Kao refusing to be sleeping in the same room with Sion."
"Oh, don't mind that," Faust continuously taps her index finger and thumb together, "We all know those two have quite the tension anyways."
"Hah," The silhouette forms a pitch-black smile, "Nothing speaks the truth like myself."
"Then... To each their own, shall we?"

The beach vendors and sellers yell as the crowd of humans, monsters, aliens and everything in between scour throughout the beach like horseshoe crabs in their spawning season. In every corner of the eye, stands a row of stalls, each with either the color hot-pink, peach, or sky-blue, each providing their own addition or comfort to the festival.
Eye moisturizer for Cyclops or Venusian to use, the finest wing scales collected from the wing flaps of the Summer Faes, to a simple bouquet of flowers for the couples enjoying their honeymoon.
Aside from those stalls, small rides are available for the whole family to enjoy. A Carousel for the little ones, a ferris wheel for a romantic view of the sea and starry sky, even a roller coaster that goes around the entirety of the festival and so many more. Granted, these rides are all made to fit only humanoids, so, a centaur or an arachne riding one is of the charts.
