Word count: 974 •<================================>• The four sides stood outside a tall metal gate. The town was surrounded by a wall, though it wasn't doing much for protection. Certain parts of the wall had holes and the barbed wire that was falling from the top had been cut in several places. Most of the walls had graffiti of graphic pictures and nasty words. This was not the place Patton like and made him feel uncomfortable. Logan, however, found it interesting and was observing the wall up close.
Janus and Remus looked indifferent about the place. "You know you two will totally not seem like outsiders looking like that," Janus stated.
"What do you mean?" Logan asked.
"He means to dress up!" Remus squealed in excitement. He quickly grabbed Patton and Logan's hands and spun them around. In a magical girl transition, the two were wearing their new outfits.

Patton looked down at his outfit and smiled. Despite its slightly dark aesthetic, it was still adorable. He even got to keep his cat hoodie, as it was now tied around his waist. "Are you sure this is appropriate?" Logan asked. Patton looked over to see Logan wearing a crop top and skirt with his tie loosely tied around his neck.
"Is more than appropriate Logie bear," Remus whisper seductively, clinging on to Logan's arm.
"Keep it in your pants for now," Janus sighed, "Wait till we're home.
"Fine," Remus huffed annoyed. He let go of Logan's arm and walked over to the gates. He grabbed the lock and began struggling to rip it open. Logan was about to ask why he was doing that when a group of what appeared to be guards. One of them took off his helmet.
"Why are you trying to break in sir," said the guard.
"Because it's easier than jumping the fence," Remus said plainly.
"I'm sorry sir, but you need a key to enter."
"Well, could you just let me in!"
"I'm under extreme orders to not let anyone in until the Duke returns."
"Well, you're an actual idiot. Who gave you that order?"
"The Dragon Witch."
"Of course she did," Remus mumbled under his breath, "Well I'll have you know that I am the Duke!"
The guard's eyes widened in recognition, he bowed, "I'm so sorry sir I had no idea, I'm new-"
"Yeah, yeah, shut up with the excuses and let me in," Remus said tapping his foot impatiently. The guard fumbled with a key and quickly unlocked the gate.
"Perfect!" Remus said he stepped in and looked to the guard, "By the way, you held me up and I might be late so I'd watch your back, and ever your job, I'd recommend fleeing to the other side of the imagination." The guard nodded and took off running into the forest.
"Remus, why did you have to do that," Janus said annoyed, "You know how dangerous the woods are."
"Guards are easy to replace and if they can't recognize me they don't deserve to live here." Patton was very worried about the poor guard, but he couldn't really do anything about it. Patton looked at Logan to try and see how he was reacting, but Logan seemed more interested in the shops and people that lined the streets.
Many identical stores with apartments on toplined the street. Scruffy looking people of all ages walked the streets and loitered in front of businesses. Lots of people had strange deformities. One man had three arms, and a woman with a rat tale ran past. Everyone here seemed off and had this dirty aura about them. It was a bit suffocating.
"We're gonna stop by femboy Hooters, so we can pick up Andy," Remus said walking ahead.
"Who's Andy?" Patton asked.
"A friend," Remus answered not being specific. The group walked in silence. Janus unconsciously grabbed Patton's hand trying to keep the innocent side safe from all the scruffy people. Logan had moved closer to the stores to observe what they were selling. As Logan walked past some loiterers one whistled and yelled a suggestive comment at the logical side. Remus had seen and suddenly felt really protective over his Logie Bear.
He didn't really have any control over his actions. All he knew is that he blinked and suddenly the catcaller was underneath him, and Remus was beating his skull in with his morning star. Suddenly several arms were pulling him off the dead man, and Remus regained control over himself.
"Remus I love that you defending me, but why don't we keep walking to avoid any more deaths," Logan said worriedly. Remus merely nodded and began walking again still covered in blood. Patton had grabbed onto Janus' arm freaked out. Janus had brought out his other arms and was holding Patton close. •<================================>• Soon the group arrived at the femboy Hooters. The four of them walked in and were immediately put at a table. "I didn't think there would be fast service," Logan said trying to make small talk.
"It helps when your a known murder with a temper," Remus said inspecting his nails. Logan just furrowed his brow trying to figure out if that was supposed to be bragging. Their waiter soon came around to take their drink order, and Logan and Patton's jaws dropped to the floor as they looked at their waiter. He was an exact clone of Virgil.
"Hello I'm Andy I'll be your waiter today! What would you all like to drink," he said not looking up from his pad.
"I'd like four servings of 'ranch'," Remus said in a teasing tone.
Andy immediately looked up terrified, "Remus! I'm at work, why are you here!"
"Kidnapping you," Remus said excitedly. He suddenly jumped up and grabbed Andy's arm and began running out of the restaurant. •<================================>• Am I sorry for including femboy Hooters? Absolutely not.
