A young woman skipped down the path carved into the peaceful forest, the trees acting as a canopy to block out the sun, only small bright rays sneaking through the gaps of rich green. Her wavy blonde hair swished behind her, a bow and arrows slung carelessly in a bag over her shoulder. A smirk plastered across her slightly freckled face, red eyes glowing with excitement, and something of pride. An unseen voice cleared its throat, stopping the woman sort to turn in the direction of the sound. A tall lean man stepped out of the shadows, wearing a elegant suit to match his perfectly styled slick grey hair. Aged dull grey eyes peered down, half lidded, at the slightly shorter girl.

"Father Time!" She exclaimed, slightly nervous. "What brings you to my domain?"

"I think you know what, Cupid. I believe you have something of mine?" The old man reached forward and held out his hand. Cupid's face paled, and she turned to run. With a flick of the man's wrist, she froze mid-run. "Now." He smiled. "Let's try this again."

Of course Seb had heard the commotion up front, he just chose to ignore it. He had expected the other people in the cafe to at least look up from whatever they were doing in response to the outburst, but they sat and continued normally as if it were a regular occasion. It was only when the screaming girl stopped to gape at him... Well then it got a little uncomfortable. He glanced up at her, then behind him, and back at her.

"Uhh," He cleared his throat. "Can I... Help you?"

The fazed girl blinked shook her head a couple of times. "Oh, ahh, sorry. You just... look very much like... a close friend of mine.." She stared at him with her head tilted, as is trying to configure a complicated puzzle. "Weird.." She murmured.

Right as Seb was about to comment, a thick sheet of ice coated the window in thick sheets, as if frost were suddenly layered across the space. The girl looked out, and let out a frustrated groan.

"Now?! UGH. I'll.. " She turned to Seb again and gave a short wave. "See yah around." She shot one last glare to Jason behind the counter, and ran outside, shouting at someone at the top of her lungs to, "Cut it out already, before people notice."

Jason sighed, shaking his head and turned to Seb, who was certainly confused beyond belief. "A real character, she is."

"Who was she?" Seb pushed his glasses up, still watching the door that the mysterious girl had stormed out of. The cashier gave him a puzzling look.

"You don't know Pends?" The brunette shook his head. "Ah. Well, you must be new. Everyone around here knows her. She runs Overland Park, really nice place. She's pretty damn nuts, but cool. Unless you get on her bad side.." The man shuttered.

"What was she going on about, might I ask?"

Jason shrugged. "Not important. Just don't piss her off, she'll seem a bit more sane that way. Don't go and start falling for her though. I warn you, she's not one to date or be dated."

Seb chuckled. "Pretty sure you won't have to worry about that.."

"JACK I SWEAR, GET YOUR SKINNY ASS OVER HERE." Penda stomped around, trying to follow Jack. She couldn't exactly take off at the moment, because when she did she would disappear from human sight. Literally. So she shamelessly appeared insane, shouting Jack's name into the air at random times. People had gotten used to it though, it's just what she did. The female spirit stopped under a tree Jack was currently perched on , and glared up. "Have you even finished construction?"
