(Open to all, just after dusk)
The shadows seemed to merge and move as Alice slipped silently through the streets. She knew that she wasn't supposed to be out this late as a fledgling, but some part of her considered herself adult. It was only a little time before her eighteenth birthday after all, and of those who the Wings looked after, Alice knew that she was capable of handling herself.
Maybe not at this exact moment.
Alice knew that breaking into a Thorns-backed shop wasn't the best idea, but there was a starving family that she knew needed the food in there more than a bunch of blood-thirsty villains. It was easy, just a quick picked lock and she was in and out before anyone noticed anything. If it weren't for the guard standing lazily on the corner, then Alice knew she would've been in the clear.
It took a bit, but she finally was able to throw him off her tail. By weaving through the maze of alleyways and side-streets, Alice was able to make a route so convoluted that it wasn't long before she was alone again. Feeling calmer, Alice stepped out from the alley into a plaza warm with the glow of candlelight. It was early evening and the night was young. Surely there was more trouble that she could get into.
