Archer
I smiled that he was now laying in the light snow with me. I was cold and shivering my hoodie was soaked and my shirt under it close behind. But I didnt want to show it was any discomfort. I didnt want Genosha to disappear. “No I dont hack right now I make almost nothing a a waiter at a small restaurant they let me live in the small apartment above if I practically work for free.” He says sighing. “I wish I could do white hat work for a living but I’m just scraping by now, I even have to pocket some of what I manage to steal just so I can feed myself sometimes.” He sighed and flopped back in the snow immediately regretting it and sitting up pulling his knees to his chest.

“So, let me get this straight, you can hack, you can help these peeps, but you can’t hack into a rich snob’s back account steal a few thousand and you never have to work again?” I asked. “Are you stupid ir are the places you hack into just really easy?” I asked dryly and with a joking undertone for no reason at all.

“No I can do that I just dont take that much at a time it throws red flags you can only take about 1000 max before the banks or worse flag the money movement from strange backdoor sources.” He sighs. “No I know I could take more without being caught but I dont want to risk the prison time and record for being caught.” He smiled as he giggled and looked up at Genosha. He was a nice guy all in all.

I chuckle. “Okay then I’m going to go with you’re just stupid” I laughed. “Come on eveb if you do 1000 at a time, 3 a day and you’re set for a few months” I point out. “or you know, you can marry into. Rich family and kill the kid so all the money will go to you when it’s your partners time has come to go” I said sourly.

“I am not stupid!” He said laughing but a bit defensive as he tried to keep his teeth from chattering as he tried to keep himself warm. “You cant just do it days back to back you have to give some time between but yes I get what your saying.” He says as he sighs. “I have and dont know if I ever could kill someone.” He said as he stood up shivering still hoping that Genosta wouldnt leave.

“Oh you’re definitely stupid, only an idiot would lay in the snow, get his clothes soaking wet and continue casual conversation whilw freezing” I said while getting up and turning around. I took a few steps before looking over my shoulder. “you coming, you’re treating us both on hot chocolate” I asked.

“Ok maybe I’m a little stupid…” he said laughing and sighed softly. He saw Genosta turn and Archer worried he was leaving but he soon heard his words and smiled more quickly grabbing his bag. “Yeah let’s go to the dinner under my apartment I can change and we can have hot chocolate.” He said as he ran to catch up still shivering and trying to get close to Genosta.

I heard the cracking sounds of him running to me through the snow. I just slowed down and then he mentioned that we could go to his dinner and basically his house. You trust too fast - I thought in my head but didn’t say anything as we walked in silence for a bit. I put my hands in my jacket and debate between changing or not,but decide not to. If I did, I had to reappear in some alley and Archer would be looking at me as a bird and wait for me which would make other people look.

He smiled as he caught up. “So I can tell you where it is if your going to fly.” He was breathing kind of hard but saw that Genosta had slowed. He kept his bright smile as he headed towards his apartment. “Its not too far from here but it’s back towards the center of town a bit but no main drag kind of place it’s off on a side road.” He was trying to keep warm but still significantly shivering. He was dripping wet.

I shook my head. “It would be inconvenient for me to change now, you said it was close so I can just walk, it’s not that I care when people stare or avoid me, but its just nicer to fly” I said with a shrug.

“Ok if thats what you want to do.” Hearing that made Archer happy and he started to walk towards his apartment. “Ok your right I am stupid because im really cold.” He said as he started to walk a little faster when he saw the building coming into view. “You like hot Chocolate I take it because that is what you asked for?”

I chuckled. “no, that’s just what is the first thing that comes to mind with cold weather, right?” I asked. “I’m good with everything as long as it’s warm” I said. Now that I think about it, when was the last time I had hot chocolate? - I wondered to myself as we walked in. “I’ll wait yere while you change, before your boss kicks you out for bringing a weirdo in and being soaking wet” I joked and sat down in one of the more hidden corners.

“She doesnt care who I bring to my apartment come on up if you want Genosta.” He said as he headed to the back of the diner and up some stairs. He climbed about eight stairs and waited their to see if Genosta was staying or coming up as well. Archer didnt know if they were friends but he certainly liked talking to Genosta and his personality was hard to read but he liked it a lot.

I was genuinely surprised as he invited me up, but followed him. At this point I had my guard up, keeping an eye on everything and everyone but did not change anything about my demeanor. I followed him upstairs and as we got up I regret not flying as a bird and just wait for him to open a window. “Why didn’t you tell me you lived at the top, I would’ve flown” I asked in the same joking tone I have been talking in all this time.

“I said I live above a diner what did you think that meant?” He asked as he cracked a smile. They climbed the stairs and walked into the single door behind it was a messy small dark studio type apartment. Archer set his bag down right away on an old chair in what he had set up as the living room type area. He quickly pulled off his dripping sweatshirt and shirt and set them in front of one of the two doors that were in the apartment besides the front door. “Make yourself comfortable Genosta. Im going to go into my room and change then toss my my wet clothes in the laundry.” He said still smiling as ever as he headed into a door in the apartment.

“I thought you meant right above it” I just said before walking in. I then nodded at his comment and looked for an place to sit while he left, though the second he did, I started to look around. Somewhere in my mind a tiny voice apologized to Archer for it, but I’ve learned not to trust people, especially those who smile a lot. It happened once but never again. The room was messy and small but I couldn’t spot anything immediate defiantly so I sat back down.

He quickly changed into a pair of sweatpants instead of his wet jeans and a different t-shirt with an old sweatshirt over it. He laughed a little when he walked out and caught Genosta looking around. “Something I can help you with?” He asked as I pulled his hair back into a small ponytail that held just the top part of his hair. “I mean I dont have much but if you want something I can see what I can manage.” Archer said as he walked to the kitchen area and pulled out a kettle and found to packages of instant hot chocolate.
@Meekepeek good night

“Aww, you’re much too kind. If I owned your clothes nothing could pry them from me.” It was true, she just assumed anyone would be as stingy as her.
“I have a lot of time on my hands and decided to explore the city a bit more. What about you? How’s business?”
“Oh, this week was quite a bore, but a group of snotty-nosed children came into the store. It would have been a great opportunity but when I offered them one of my cupcakes they insulted them and ran out! This is one of the reasons why I will never have another child again. Other than that, it has been a slow week.” She shook her head at the memory of what happened and sighed. What was worse to her than a slow week? Getting close to selling her product but failing. "Enough about that. What has been going on with you miss fancy pants? I’ve been wondering about that husband of yours. How are you dealing?"Anything that was even close to gossip intrigued her.

Location: Nimue’s Shop (I don’t know the name)
Note: The blurred parts are a bit graphic
Rapunzel ran, and ran. She couldn’t see where she was running. She just ran. “RUN!” shouted Hans from behind. She didn’t have enough courage to look back, but she was tempted to glance back to see what had happened to her husband. “D-don’t turn-h bac-k… huff…” she kept telling this to herself.
Who was she running from? Why? She didn’t know. She just did. When she came to a dead-end, she turned back to see Hans’ mutilated body lying on the ground. Blood spilt everywhere, and Eugene… grinning… with a bloody knife in his hand. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing. “Ha-ans-s…” she gasped and stumbled back as Edith and Eugene walked towards her…
“W-what do y-you want-t?!” she tried raising her voice, but it didn’t scare them away. They were coming closer towards her, “Don’t-t…!” she yelled for the last time as Edith stabbed her with her knife.
“Aaaahh!” she screamed and thrashed around, kicking Hans and the blankets off of her. “Ow, stop that!” he groaned and turned his back to her. That’s when she realised it was just a dream. A very lucid one. Rapunzel saw her husband lying beside her, completely unharmed and peaceful. ‘I need to get out of this room.’ she thought and got up. She was in desperate need of fresh air.
She put on some slippers and ran out of her house in her pyjamas. She didn’t care about how cold it was. She just wanted to get away from her house… and Hans for a while. Rapunzel calmed herself a bit after walking on the streets. ‘It was just a dream. It was just a dream. It was just a dream’ she kept reminding herself constantly.
“Argh! This is dumb!” she kicked the glass door of a shop. “Shxt!” she yelled. She shouldn’t have done that. Now she had an injured leg and a broken glass door. It hurt as fxck. “Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!” she cried, clutching her leg which was now covered in dark red blood.
She glanced at the shop which seemed like a weapons shop. She also noticed a young, beautiful woman standing nearby. “Is this your shop? I’m so sorry!”

“I don’t really mind! I do have a lot of clothes I want to give away…” Thei wasn’t a very charitable person, but she loved giving away her clothes to people… because she needed some space. She had three whole rooms dedicated to her clothes and make-up and shoes! She desperately needed to clear some space to buy new stuff and store them.
“This is one of the reasons why I will never have a child again.”
“I… never knew you had a child…” she raised her eyebrows. She didn’t like prying in others’ business, but she was curious. Thei had never imagined Gothel was a mother… Immediately, she changed the subject. Looks like her business wasn’t going very well…
She then asked about Ares. ‘Why did you have to remind me of him?’ she muttered to herself and looked away. She was already miserable enough, and now, Gothel just had to ask her about him. “I still don’t know where he is…” she said in a low voice.
