Ice Village

Lau scowled at her. "Too loud. I like to live dangerously, but not stupidly."

"What?" Dawn shrugged, "I don't care. Any one who messes with me is playing with fire."

"Good for you," Lau said sarcastically. "Guess you're not non-magical either."

"No," Dawn shook her head, "But I get mistaken for one a lot. That and I don't have papers to show I'm not."

The guards shouted at the tops of their lungs. “Has anyone seen Sophia Xu?”

She made a face. "Okay, whatever." She pulled off her hood, hoping her delicately pointed ears would be enough for her to pretend to be magical.

"Never heard of her!" Dawn shouted at the guards. She assumed it was the other girl hiding behind a table.

"Sophia's an ugly name," Lau pointed out. "I'd never hang out with a Sophia."

Sophia almost melted with relief. She skunk behind the bar and crouched there.

Marya stared at him, wanting to cut his throat, but she had to play the part. Putting on a fake smile, she said, "My name's Marya."

(I have no clue where I can jump in.)

(I have no clue where I can jump in.)

(Anywhere)

(Okay then.)

Shaaru crouched in the reeds near the river. It wasn't as easy as when he had been a guppi, but any was better then none.

North eyed the commotion happening at the bar, and was surprised when she was suddenly confronted by a group of men. "ID please?"
"I've never had need for ID," North retorts.
"We need proof that you are a magical."
"Well then, what's your least favourite animal?" When the man speaking replies, she turns into a lion, then back to herself. "Enough proof?"

//lmao

(I'm gonna time skip to the morning)
Klara walked slowly to the tent camp and handed Aleksai the papers, frowning at him through her wrinkled, old eyes. He smiled and took them from her hands, leafing through before dropping them into a pile.
"Your service for Ovek will never be forgotten, Madame Mayor." he bowed and gave Klara a grin before walking away.

(Wait, but then how does everyone meet? Because three people have already met in the bar, but what happened after if it’s mirnjng now?)

(I have a plan, don't worry)

.. okay then? Where should Soph be then?)

dots make me nervous

(…Where should Dawn be?)

Marya groaned. Her whole last night had been wasted with the Lenski boy. When Klara called all of the soldiers off last night, she'd been so relieved.
"Marya, wake up, there's a meeting in the town square."

(…Where should Dawn be?)

There is a meeting in the town square

Dawn heard about the meeting in the town square. She left her hut on the outskirts of town and headed there.

Sophie milled about in the crowd at the town square, waiting t hear Te announcement.

Dawn arrived at the town square.

North prowled around the town square in the form of an ice cat, watching what was happening.

Spring was already there, perched on a rooftop.

Klara started talk, clearing her throat as Marya watched.
"Aleksai has taken over my position as mayor. I want you all to stand up to him. Even if we die, we will die honorably. Aleksai will not overpow-." the ringing gunshot could be heard all around and Klara fell to the floor, blood seeping from the shot in her head. Marya drew in a quick breath, wrapping her shawl around herself as her eyes widened in horror.
