Onto the chapter! (and also Valerie in a costume <3)

-

Valerie currently made her way through Wartwood with the Plantars, Anne, and Marcy. It had been a little while since Sasha had came to town, and well-- the townsfolk weren't taking too kindly to her. Which was understandable, she did try to kill them all.

She currently wore a faded black denim jacket over a light green shirt with the words 'over dramatic' written in small letters across her chest, along with a pair of flared out deep blue jeans underneath with a pair of classic black dock martens.

"hey, Sash," Marcy next to her threw out to the blonde who sat on the fountain, looking rather sad. The girl replied with a small "hey," in response, still sounding rather down.

Then the mayor of the town on the stage everyone was gathered in front of started to speak. "Simmer down everyone, simmer down," He said, waving his hand in the air to get all attention on him. "Ahem, now, I know we've all been a little on edge since Sasha and Captain Grime came to stay in Wartwood."

"what, why?" Sasha said in disbelief as she stood up, anger written all across her face. "Cause we invaded the town?"

"yeah, it was just one time," Grime sitting down to her left added.

Valerie could be heard snickering from offscreen at the two, as she crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, like that's not enough to piss a whole town of 'slow to accept and even slower to respect'. Right."

Sasha glared at the standing brunette who only smirked at her mindlessly in return, not bothering to waste any more of her words on her friend's anger issues.

"Point is, we could use some levity," The toad on stage interrupted with a shrug. Then a small, light blue toad (which Valerie assumed to be the mayors assistant) was seen pushing a wheel full of fun activities written down onto the stage. "So let's consult the wheel of fun."

There were cheers in the crowd.

As it was spun, anticipation hung heavy in the air. Some hoped for certain answers, but as for Valerie, she just could not care less. As long as it was something that didn't involve her or anyone she cared about dying a horrible death-- she was fine.

The option is eventually landed on?

Well-

"alright everyone, get your teams together and start rehearsing, Wartwood is having a battle of the bands!" Mayor Toadstool announced proudly in a shout.

As the crowd parted, the quartet could be seen near Wartwood's fountain in the middle of the town. Valerie had her arm on Marcy's shoulder, leaning onto her a bit while still keeping herself a part of the group, along with the noirette next to her who had an arm around her girlfriend's waist.

"You guys think Wartwood is ready for a Sasha and the Sharps reunion?" Anne asked the other three girls around her excitedly, smirking knowing at them all.

"The what and the who?" Sprig questioned from the ground, placing his hands on his hips to make a stance in his confusion.

"it was a garage band the four of us had back home!" Marcy chirped out happily. Valerie next to her stirred perking her head up at the mention of the band they had formed, that was one of her favorite things she'd do with her friends-- even though she hadn't gotten to be in it for very long before they were zapped away.
