(Alter)<br/><strong>Date/Time::</strong>Saturday Afternoon<br/><strong>Mood::</strong>Energized<br/><strong>Wearing::</strong>Gothic Fitness (https://i.ibb.co/LYnQ2wX/Gothic-Fitness.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>TRIGGER WARNINGS::</strong>None<br/><br/><br/><hr/><br/><br/>Veronica could not believe it actually worked as she stood, now looking at Emil on the ground. She only won by sheer luck and strategic planning and was certain, any future sparring would not be so easy now that Emil knew more of her abilities.<br/><br/><strong>“Thanks! I got pretty lucky though by being able to catch you off guard, my marionette wouldn’t have held much longer.”</strong>She admitted.<br/><br/>She offered to help Emil to his feet and looked back towards Kenzie as he mentioned their prior conversation. She turned back to Emil with a bit of an awkward smile and nod<strong>“Oh yes, of course.”</strong>She spoke softly<strong>“Good luck!”</strong>she added before going to pick up her things.<br/><br/>Veronica wanted to head back to the house and get in a shower before the ball, plus she had a few things to finish for her costume anyway. She may be going alone, but at least she would look fantastic. She wasn’t much for dating anyway, in fact, she had actually never been on a date at all. Surely, she would just be awkward and uncomfortable to be around. She assumed it was just best to stay out of romance, with her past, it wasn’t hard. She found it quite easy to avoid romantic advances over the years, no need to change that now. Some days she often considered stepping out of her comfort zone, maybe even entertain the idea of a date. Usually she would talk herself out of it though.<br/><br/>As she left the training grounds she gave Kenzie a bit of an awkward wave before making her way back down the path towards the gate. She looped her bag over her shoulder and made her way towards the Hecate house. As she got closer to the gate, she saw a limousine pull up and someone getting out. Seemed to be another villager who appeared to just be moving in. She walked over as the boy looked a bit lost.<br/><br/><strong>"Hey, new here?"</strong>she asked softly<strong>"I'm Veronica."</strong>she held out a hand to him.<br/><br/><strong>"You picked quite a day to arrive, we have a big party tonight. I've only been here for a couple of years but maybe I can help you figure out where you need to go?"</strong>she offered.<br/>
