*While running through the crowds of people following Athena, he notices that they're bring followed by the newcomer, starbi I t...

Starbi was running after the two that were William and Athena, his eyes trained on them, before seeing that William went to another direction from Athena, why did he do that exactly? Starbi wasn't sure, he had the choice to follow William or Athena, but he noticed that Athena already disappeared, he then decided to follow after William as he slowed down to make a turn to stop himself it in a dark alleyway, not being able to find William, looking around as he paced around the alleyway for a bit.
"William!!! Where'd you go?" He called out.
Bonnie
Watching starbi enter the alleyway he kept his gun trained on him, aiming center mass like he was trained he cock the hammer to his revolver ready to fire when he heard the announcement of a fish thing being a prize to a quest. *The hell is that? Need to find out later first thing is having to get rid of this problem* Raising his voice still concealed in the darkness, he said "Walk away, I don't wish to hurt you but I will if you continue to follow me and Athena"
Christopher
Starbi looked to see William have a gun trained at him at point blank range, Starbi's expression was that of a confused one, why was William so cautious? Its not like he was hostile or anything.
"Hey hey hey, what's the big idea?" Starbi asked in a calm tone.
"What's with the gun? Is this about the cigarette thing?" Starbi added as he looked at William, raising his hands a bit in mid air as a gesture of good faith.
"No need to get our weapons out, we can just keep things nice and calm!" Starbi added.
"That goat guy just told me that I should follow you guys, I'm just here for a fun adventure and stuff, this happened so sudden, I couldn't just not follow you guys to see what happens! I'm just that kind of guy, you know?"
Starbi explained with a steady smile.
Bonnie
Looking at the joyful person in front of him he was confused *Why would I shoot him over not taking the cigarette I offered him?* Feeling the calming aura that he felt earlier when this newcomer arrived he decided to lower his pistol just slightly so if starbi tried to attack he could still pull up and fire a fast shot. "So you decided to follow us because the goat man told you to? And no it's not about the cigarette"
Christopher
"Well.." Starbi spoke.
"He just told me that I should follow you guys! I just thought why not? I really had nothing better to and stuff, so I just did what he told me and stuff, no harm done, right?"
Starbi answered politely, raising down his hands a little, the cheerful atmosphere was present but weaker than before given the situation.
Bonnie
"How old are you? You seem a little young and naive to be my age" While lowering his pistol more giving this newcomer a bigger sense of ease while looking around the alleyway to see if he could find a fire escape to climb to aid in his search for Athena again
Christopher
"Oh, well uh- you could say I'm 16. But it's a lot more complicated than that." Starbi responded.
"Let's just say.. I'm a little older than you and your friend's ages combined!"
Starbi responded with a friendly wink.
"That is.. Well, if I'm right about you guys." Starbi commented.
"Nothing wrong with being a little more free-spirited, I just like having fun!" Starbi added with a smile.
Bonnie
"Uh-huh, well I don't want to shoot you so what you say we team up for a bit? Help me find my friend and I'll be a new friend for you, how that sound?" Giving a softer tone and putting his pistol back into his holster uncocking the hammer, putting his coat back over the holster to show no threat
Kelly
*He stepped out of the shadow he was in before looking around and going to search for William and Athena as he wanted to team up with them, but there was one problem, he lost them the second they ran so he was basically just wandering around trying to find them.*
Maureen
After hearing a voice mention something about a Fish Hunt, Athena wanting to participate thinking "This could be fun" Deciding to leave the library she was hiding in to look for her friends "Besides the more eyes looking the easier it is to win right?" She thought to herself. She Determined that Max would be the easiest to find, so she started her journey towards where she last saw him, Keeping an eye out for him, William or a Spirit Koi along the way.
William
*She listened quietly to the annoucement. Essentially the prize sounded like a pet fish made out of magic and two other rewards that could be picked. Didn't seem too bad to her, she could use a companion even if it was just a fish. After all, it was quite pretty as she stared up to watch it briefly float around and swim in the air. Though, looking back at the others attending, it seemed she would have competition. Grouping up would be useful, but at the same time she couldn't do that if she had no one she could trust with that task. So, doing it solo it seemed, she decided mentally she would participate.*
Christopher
"Team up? Hm.. Well, of course! I don't see why not." Starbi responded quickly, the atmosphere bringing back its cheerful effect as Starbi smiled.
"I don't mind tagging along, that's what I wanted to do in the first place, sure having fun by yourself is okay, but with others can be even better! I'm all for it!" Starbi added with a confident nod.
"Let's go find your friend, she's gotta be here somewhere." Starbi commented.
Bonnie
Nodding his head to starbi comment, he reaches into his satchel and offers a hardtack biscuit to starbi due to the earlier presenting of his revolver, he says "I saw a fire service on the wall of that building over there so we can climb up that to get a better look of the surrounding area." While walking towards the ladder to start climbing

Motioning his hand towards starbi to follow him, he begins to climb and making his way to roof top he proceeds to look over the side of the roof down towards the streets to try and spot Athena and Max, while telling himself *Main goal find them first secondary find this fish thing* While asking if starbi wants another biscuit
Christopher
Starbi stared at the biscuit in his hand that was given by William as William walked off. Starbi seemed to be in thought about something.. That lingering lack of joy, it seemed too.. Sharp, sure not everyone is going to be completely happy but..
"..Oh, uh, coming! Just me in thought!" Starbi spoke with a small laugh as he followed William up the ladder to make it to the rooftop of a small building.
Kelly
*He stopped walking and just stood under a street lamp while scratching his head and looking around.* "This is harder than I thought than again I never really tried to find anyone before."
Maureen
Seeing Max in the distance, Athena walks up to him saying "Heya Max, you participating in the fish hunt?"
Kelly
*He turned to look at Athena and nodded.* "Sure am, I was just trying to find you and William. Speaking of which where is he?"
Bonnie
Noticing the change of demeanor of starbi, he looks away from the city streets below and looks towards starbi, "What's wrong starry? Can I call you that?" While sitting down next to the edge to patting the space next to him for him to sit and be comfortable
Maureen
Athena looking at Max with her head tilted to the side a bit said "I Thought he was with you" As she started looking around to see if she can spot William from where she is
Kelly
"Nah, when I hid and you just straight up yelled scatter, I lost the both of you so I have no idea where he actually is right now."
Maureen
"Well we should go look for him, and once we do then we can look for that fish." Then she looks at max and says "Speaking of which, do you know what this fish we are looking for looks like?"
Christopher
Noticing the change of demeanor of starbi, he looks away from the city streets below and looks towards starbi, "What's wrong sta...

"Ah, uh- nothing. Just noticed something is all, nothing to worry about really! Thanks for asking." Starbi responded.
"And sure, why not, call me whatever you like!" Starbi responded as he looked over to William sitting at the edge, gesturing him to sit next to him, Starbi accepted the kind gesture and then set down next to him, looking over the area.
"It sure is nice here though, isn't it?" Starbi asked.
Bonnie
"Yeah it is nice up here but what's wrong? When you first showed up you only brought good vibes but now you're more sorrowful, still joyful but more meh" While looking at starbi, and wondering if it was because he drew his pistol earlier, he looked up at the stars and wondered if this what life had planned for him, sitting up on the roof with a star guy next to me asking if he's okay
Kelly
"Well I did see it from where I was, it was a glowing Koi, it was very cool looking to say the least and it shouldn't be to hard to spot either."
Christopher
"Yeah it is nice up here but what's wrong? When you first showed up you only brought good vibes but now you're more sorrowful, s...

"Ah, well, like I said. Just noticed something, everything here feels so bustling and joyful, I just noticed that something felt off about it, nothing from me, honest. Just something else I felt, It's kind of a thing I tend to notice, heh."
Starbi responded.
"Thanks for worrying though, I'm fine." Starbi responded calmly, he did appreciate William worrying.
Bonnie
Looking back at starbi and listening to his response he responded with "Look, I'm sorry about me pointing my gun at you and I want you to know it's nothing personal, but you can talk to me about it if you want." While offering a small smile "My mom would've liked you, but hey you're alright in my book." While standing up and offering his hand to starbi to help him up and continue their search for Athena and Max
Maureen
"So uh, Where should we look first?" Athena asked while looking around some more
Christopher
Looking back at starbi and listening to his response he responded with "Look, I'm sorry about me pointing my gun at you and I wa...

"Honestly, I'm okay, thanks, it's nothing personal!" Starbi assured.
"I appreciate that, I would've loved to meet your mom!" Starbi then saw William get up, and then offer his hand to him, he then accepted, bringing himself up.
"If you seem okay, then I'm sure she wasn't bad herself," Starbi commented with a smile.
Kelly
"No idea, I guess when we find William we could split up for a second and cover more ground or whatever you wanna do honestly."
Maureen
"Splitting up when we find william would be good, we should first decide where to meet back up once we find it or finish looking in a certain area though before we do split up so we dont get lost again having to find eachother"
Bonnie
Looking at starbi he says "Yeah she was one of the best" Looking back at the streets looking for a a hint of Max and Athena, spotting a shadowy figure under a streetlamp a street down, he looks at starbi, "Let's go, I think I see Max." He takes a running jump to the other rooftop until he reaches the roof over the pair of Max and Athena, making sure Starbi was with him

He looks down at the two, and decides to yell down at them saying "Hey witch lady and shadow man, up here the hell you two doing down there?!" While having a soft smile on his face
Christopher
Starbi then watched as William ran and jumped to the other rooftop with ease, huh, fascinating! Starbi wanted to follow along too, he moved a few feet back to prepare himself, as he then ran, leaping off of the edge of the rooftop as he was in mid-air, seemingly floating as he made it to the other rooftop with ease, walking up to William to look over, seeing Athena and somebody new!
"Hey guys! How's the weather down there?" Starbi joked, waving from above.
Maureen
Looking up towards the screaming, Athena sees William standing on the roof above them and decides to yell back "Whats up Willy Wonka!" Sticking Out her Tongue at him Afterwards
Kelly
*He looks up and just stares at William.* "We're about to go looking for the spirit Koi, we were just trying to find you first before we actually went looking for it." *He then looked in confusion at Starbi before thinking of how increasingly weird this place was getting.*
Maureen
In response to Starbi's Jokingling question Athena responded with "Its quite nice, How the weather up there in the clouds?" While she waved back
Christopher
"Ah, well- when you've traveled across space for a while clouds don't become much of a problem, we seem to be doing fine up here," Starbi joked. "There's a ladder like- right around the building and you can jump across the rooftop if you can! Or we can get our way down to you and your tall friend."
Starbi explained.
Kelly
*He looked at Starbi and then at Athena before looking back at the building and just thinking for a quick second, he then grabbed Athena, jumped high into the air, amd landed on the buildings roof before putting Athena down, he then spoke with a deep voice.* "I think that was much easier honestly, name's Max by the way nice to meet you dude."
Christopher
Starbi then watched in surprise to see the shadowy figure grab Athena with ease and jump all the way up here.
"Woah.." Starbi commented.
"That was cool! Hi hi!! My name's Starbi, that's ess to the aye to the are to the bee, and what do you get? You get Starbi! Nice to meet you Max!"
Starbi responded in his usual chipper tone, the atmosphere keeping its cheerful breeze of joy.
William
*She listened to nearby conversations from her little alleyway for a while longer before deciding to get going. It was no use to stand around doing fuck all if she had to find that fish. She started heading off in one of the three disclosed directions, keeping her head down as she squeezed through the bustling crowd. She likely got shoved past a good few times, but clearly, she was used to it.*
Maureen
Now on the Building, Athena sat down and said "That was fun, anyways We are looking for a Glowing Koi Fish. We should split up into groups of 1-2 and meet back up here." Then proceeded to pull out her journal with a look of concentration on her face thinking to herself "If i was a Glowing Koi Fish, Where Would I Be?"
Bonnie
William looks at his witch lady friend, and asks "The hell is a koi? And what is a willy wonka?" And looks back to max and says "You hop good" While also smiling due to starbi having their bright demeanor back
Christopher
Starbi looked down from the rooftop, as he then noticed someone walking through the bustling groups of people, that strange feeling from before returning, before turning back to the group.
"Hm.. Well, maybe we'll find it after we have this some sort of clue, it can't just be out in the open, maybe we could go talk to the person who announced the existence of the koi fish for a hint!"
Maureen
Looking away from her book and towards William, Athena says "A Koi is a type of Japanese Fish looks like a carp and is commonly orange and white, The one we are looking for in specific is glowing according to information Max kindly provided. And don't worry about what a Willy Wonka is for now, ill tell you later" Then she proceeds to look through her journal thinking about where a Glowing Koi Fish would be
Bonnie
Turning towards max he asks "Well what do you think we should do? Athena is thinking about areas and starbi wants to ask the lady who announced it, but are we still gonna get arrested?" While scratching his head and putting his hand into his pocket to grab a cigarette
Kelly
"I might go alone for a bit and try to find it on my own, not like anyone would go for the tall horrifying shadowy monster, so it's not like I'd have many problems dealing with people."
Christopher
"Hmm..." Starbi hummed to himself.
"Why don't I go talk to her myself while we all dk ohr own thing?" Starbi asked.
"I'll just say that I lost you guys and want the koi fish for myself! Its not like they know I'm with you guys yet, might be good to try." Starbi suggested.
"And what if Max and Athena stick together? Seems like a good idea to me!"
Maureen
In response to the suggestions Athena says "Im fine with whatever is decided for a plan, either way it'll be fun"
Kelly
*He pulled his dark axe out of his hat and looked at them.* "In any case I'll just do my own thing, besides I'm sure y'all will probably find it first anyway, I'll just try to scare people out as I go, this axe will help with the scary look." *He then jumped down and went to try and find the spirit Koi.*
Christopher
"Oop, okay then Max! Bye bye!!!"
Starbi walked over to the edge to wave at Max walking away.
"Be safe! We'll see you when we'll see you!" Starbi spoke, turning his head back to the two.
"I guess I'll go ahead with my end of our plan, try to talk to that lady who announced the whole thing, see yoh guys in a bit!"
Starbi then turned his head back to the view of the area, then jumping off the roof, as he began floating in mid air, slowing descending to the pavement with ease, luckily nobody being under his shoes.
It was then he was offered two decisions;
One on his right, to go to the authority figure who announced the search for the koi fish.
And two on his left, to go after the strange person he saw earlier.. To adhere to the plan or to go on a whim and branch fate, such is the question for someone like Starbi. Naturally, Starbi took the side on his left, to go follow after the mysterious person he saw earlier, it might even turn out well in the end, they say that you can kill two birds with one stone, let's see if that's the case here!
William
*She had decided to start her walk towards the southern part of the festival given that was one of the directions that the fish could've possibly gone through the tiny hint that the lady gave. Though.. She could likely sense she was being followed by someone, just having a keen eye and able to trust her gut well. She snapped her head back to glance around to see who the hell it was. If Starbi was good enough to move out of her line of sight then she would just scoff and keep walking. If he wasn't though, she would just narrow her eyes at him briefly and just walk faster. He was a kid after all - looked the part - so she didn't have reason to be suspicious that his intentions were malicious.. Though she had a feeling they'd be annoying regardless and she didn't want to deal with it.*
Bonnie
Looking at Athena he asks "So muckraker, what do you have so far for ideas?" While looking around the streets from above, and smoking his cigarette. He was still confused on what a willy wonka is
Maureen
"No ideas so far since i don't know much about this area but i have an idea, what if we split into random directions to the edge of the festival grounds and make our way back here" Athena says putting her journal in a inner pocket of her coat
Bonnie
Looking back at Athena he says "Sounds good I suppose, don't get arrested and if any trouble goes down come back to this area." He says this while looking towards the next building to make his jump. He then proceeds to say "See you soon" While running and jumping off to the next rooftop towards the north barely making it and turning around giving a hand signal to show goodbye for now
Maureen
Athena Nods her head in response and says "Good Luck, See ya Soon" Then stands up and starts heading in the opposite direction taking a flight of stairs down
