Ice Maiden Oliver: Yes, you reviewed two chapters ago, but~ I forgot to mention you as a new reviewer. Another chapter good for you? :D
Warning: Censored swearing
Temperance (Talia's) POV
I followed Envy and Kindness, no Kiara, and watched them interact.
Unfortunately, for the most part they ignored each other. I soon stopped when I smelled a bakery. Gluttony also smelled it, and his eyes went wide.
"Temperance, can we?" He tugged on my sleeve.
"Yup. Let's go." I turned down a different street, following my nose.
I stopped in front of a rather busy-looking bakery. I grinned to myself when I saw a sign that said "Help Wanted", quickly opening the door.
"Excuse me?" I walked up to the counter.
A frazzled-looking teen looked up at me expectantly.
"Can I help? The sign said you needed some." I explained.
The girl sighed in relief. "Yeah, we need everyone we can get."
She led me back and handed me off to a guy, who quickly explained everything in the kitchen. I told him I baked on a regular basis, which only made him relax even more.
"Good, you can start with those muffins." He sighed, then started working on a cake.
I grinned, washed my hands, then got to work. Gluttony sat in a corner out of the way, and I guess the man, whose name I learned to be Pierre, was too busy to ask about him.
Charity (Claire's) POV
"See ya later, sweetheart." Greed walked off.
"Wait, where are you going?!" I grabbed his arm.
He raised an eyebrow. "Why do you care?"
"Cause I've got to watch you!" I said, starting to get frustrated.
"I think you know I'm not going to go around killing people." Greed rolled his eyes.
I deflated. "Just tell me where you're going so I can find you."
"A bar, sweetheart." He started walking away.
"Don't call me that!" I yelled.
He only waved his hand. I glared at his retreating form, then sighed, admitting he was right. He wasn't like Envy, who needed watching 24/7. I turned and started looking for a college. My element was air, and I liked meteorology. It was a fun topic, so I figured if I had to teach anything, that would be it.
Chastity (Chase's) POV
"You can handle yourself, right? No killing?" I asked.
Luciana nodded.
"See ya." I waved my hand and started walking away.
I stretched my arms above my head, yawning. What should I do? It should be something fun. . .not anything that would be a drag later. . .
I sighed, dropping my arms back down to my sides. Let's see, martial arts is cool. . . maybe teaching that would be fun. . .
Something warm latched onto my arm. I glanced down in surprise to find Luciana holding my arm.
"What's up, Luci?" I asked.
"Don't call me that." She said darkly.
"Fine fine, but seriously, what are you doing?" I asked.
Her hand winded down to latch onto mine. I tried to pull away, but she resisted, lacing her fingers in mine tightly. "I want to walk with you."
I sighed. "Whatever. . ."
I walked up to several (five) people and asked if they knew of a dojo anywhere.
...I think three of them thought Luciana and I were dating...
I shivered at the thought as we walked to the dojo. Luciana and I? Dating?
No.
Just...
No.
Kiara's POV
I hurried into the gym, breathless.
"I hate you. Why'd you have to drag me here? I could walk!" Envy panted.
I ignored him, walking up to the counter. "My friend here..."
After I got him hired (which meant he had to show off in front of the manager) I left quietly, snickering to myself.
Envy, one of the most feared homunculi ever, was going to teach kids acrobatics.
I burst out laughing, earning some weird stares. I couldn't care less; the whole situation was hilarious.
"Oh my gosh, I've got to record one of his sessions." I muttered to myself, making a mental note.
I wandered to the college; I had already figured out what I wanted to do since before I dragged Envy down three different streets.
"Excuse me, do you have an opening for either biology or hebology?" I asked.
The receptionist stared at me. "Aren't you a little young, sweetie?"
I decided I did not like this person.
"Look, do you want me to get my certificate that says I graduated from Yale?" I asked flatly.
The lady's eyes widened, then narrowed. "Yes, I would."
I waved my hand behind my back, summoned the (actually real) certificate. I slapped it on the table, staring at her, annoyed. The lady picked it up with razor-sharp fingernails that threatened to spear me, looked it over, then stared at me.
"You're only sixteen and you graduated with top honers?!" The lady stared at me.
"Yes. Now, to answer my first question-"
"I don't believe you." The lady slid the certificate to me.
Then she seemed to change her mind, snatched it back and tore it to pieces.
I stared at her in shock. "Why did you do that!?" I shrieked, scrambling for the now-shredded paper.
"It's impossible." She stated, sweeping it into the trashcan under the table.
"Look it up in your f****** computer!" I rarely swear, and it's only when I'm really ticked.
The lady's sharp gaze stared at my furious one, then turned to her computer and clacked on the keys. After five minutes, her gaze widened and her head whipped around to stare at me.
"L-let me get my manager." She jumped up and ran through a door.
I stared in shock, then felt triumph hit me. This imbecile tore up my certificate and now is going to get it. I go for revenge a lot more than my siblings, but this time it's completely justified and even Temperance would do it.
"I'm so sorry for her, Ms. Mikal." Oh right, that's the name I gave myself a year ago when I graduated.
The manager shot her worker a death glare as she pulled the pieces out of the trashcan.
"It's okay, I guess." I said.
I was hired on the spot.
"No. Just...no" XD
