Ramshackle's Angel

84

Vinnie burst through the main doors.

"Guys!!!" She said, looking like she might explode from excitement before she ran back outside.

Xander immediately walked into the main room, looking like he was in pain at first but quickly brushed it off.

"Ugh! What!?" Stone asked, annoyed that she caused him to spill his drink.

Lorelai snorted a laugh at his misfortune, earning a playful glare from the emo boi.

"IT'S VK DAY!!!" Vinnie cheered.

This new caused Skipp to go outside. Stone and Ditch sighed as Lorelai and Xander looked confused.

"Uhh...What's VK day?" The older incubus asked.

Vinnie and Skipp gasped at them. This reaction caused the siblings to slump down a little bit as Ditch chuckled.

"Hey, relax. They're a bit uncultured with the holiday Liz made for the scraps" he told them.

This peaked Lorelai's interest. She's never heard of VK day before now. And honestly, she felt kinda bad because of it. Then again, the only holiday she's ever celebrated was Halloween.

"Okay, now I'm interested! And why did no one tell me Lizzy made a holiday?!" She said, becoming jumpy like a child on a sugar rush.

Stone laughed at his girlfriend's antics, which kinda resembled a cat on catnip in his mind. He kept himself laughing at the thought as he calmed her down.

"Love, do you know what VK even means?" He asked.

She stopped. What did it mean?

"Actually, no. I don't" she admitted, a little embarrassed by the fact she had no clue what it meant.

"It means "villain kids" Skipp informed her.

This caused everyone to look at him. This also made Lorelai feel awful a little bit since she and Xander were in fact villain kids.

"Uh...why is it called "villain kids?" Xander asked, also a little uncomfortable from the same thing as his younger sister.

"According to Liz, she had a headache so she had one of the 4 masked members of her gang to pick it" Ditch explained.

The two siblings looked at him, then eachother, then back to Ditch.

"Okay?" Xander asked.

"And every year, those masked members go to the slums and pick four lucky kids to live in the house of the hearts!" Skipp happily told them, bouncing around in excitement.

"And they like to make a very dramatic entrance" Stone added, snaking his arm around Lorelai's waist.

"And by that, they mean-?"

"A huge way to help everyone in the slums and messing with the lootbags a little bit" Stone told him, giving a satisfied smirk as he remembered.

"Now I'm really interested!" Lorelai commented.

"But knowing we can't be picked since we're already in a gang, it's still fun to watch" Vinnie told them, getting Xander interested.

"Then what are we standing here for? We can't miss this!" He said.

And with that, they went to see the huge event.

🖤🖤🖤

As they set out to find where the mysterious masked members, Lorelai couldn't help but to wonder who they were.

"So, Ditch. Since you have more knowledge of this, do you mind telling us who they are?" She asked politely.

He groaned, thinking that he was the only person who knew about this stuff.

"Fine. They're also called "The hollow knights."

"Why-?" Xander asked.

"Because the holes in their masks are fucking creepy."

Every fell silent when he said this.

"Fair point" Stone spoke up after a moment.

"Anyways, I may not know them by their real names but I do know them by their codenames. Sakura. Echo. Arachnid. And Wanderer" Ditch added.

And with that, they heard cheers of excitement in the slums.

"That's them!" Vinnie cheered.

As they rush to see the four hollow knights, Xander stopped stayed behind for a moment as his chest burned with pain. So, he quickly cast a spell that numbed the pain and joined the others. As soon as he did, they saw the four knights come out.
