Soul Eater

"It's doubtful though! How often does he strike?" Daisy asked irritably.

"His rate has been increasing." Vincent said, reading the note. "It is very likely he'll attack within the next two days."

"Next two days. So there's a chance it could wait til tomorrow." Daisy said. "So it can wait. Great!"

"No, it's in London, which will take hours to get to, and we'd still have to track him down." Vincent said, hating that he was always the voice of reason. "We don't have time."

"If we leave tomorrow morning, we'll have plenty of time!" Daisy protested.

Vincent facepalmed, his partner still not getting it. "...You know what, forget it, I'll go on ahead to try and find this guy, and then you take the next flght after your 'date'!" He said, before walking off, annoyed.

Daisy sighed. "Fine! I'll reschedule!" she called after him.

Vincent stopped. "...You sure?"

"Yeah......" she trailed off.

Vincent sighed. "Well...if you're still sure by the time I get back to the apartment, make sure to have packed." He said, before continuing forward.

"I'm coming with you. We share an apartment, right?" Daisy scoffed.

"Yes, but I need to get the tickets." Vincent said.

"Alright. Whatever." Daisy said, rolling her eyes. "I'll meet you there." She started walking toward the apartment building, away from Vincent.

Vincent sighed, he really hated arguing with her.

Daisy walked home to the apartment, and started throwing clothes in a backpack as she chatted on her cell with her date. He was screaming at her for ditching him, and cancelled everything. When he hung up on her, she was angry, and threw her phone against a wall in irritation.

Vincent sighed as he reached the apartment building. ...I hope she's not mad.

Lydian placed a bag of extra clothes by the door, scrounging around the apartment for her beanie...she had to have one somewhere...

Calyx stretched out on the couch, hearing James come into the apartment. "Wake me up when we're leaving!" she told him, using her bag as a pillow.

James nodded, before going to pack himself.

Alexander returned to the apartment where Lydian was after picking up the tickets. "Lydian, I have the tickets!" he called as he walked in.

Daisy heard footsteps outside the apartment and sighed. Vincent was probably back, and she's probably going to snap at him if she didn't cool off soon.

"O-Okay, um...I'm ready to leave whenever you are...I guess..." Lydian answered, popping her head out of her room to nod to Alexander.

"Just let me grab some clothes and throw it in a backpack." Alexander said, and went into his room to do so. Five minutes later, he emerged from his room with a gray backpack slung over his shoulder. "Alright. Let's go."

Lydian left her room upon hearing Alexander say it was time to leave, picking up her black Death City cloth backpack. Unfortunately, she'd been unable to find her beanie. She supposed she'd just have to stand walking around France looking like an idiot.

Vincent walked into the apartment, tickets in hand. "Hey..."

James came out of his room a few minutes later, now carrying a packed bag. "Time to go." He said to his partner.

"Hello." Daisy said icily, closing up her backpack. "Are we leaving yet?"

"You ready, Lydian?" Alexander asked.

"Yeah, uh... Just let me pack and we can go." He said a little nervously.
