Private Finished Drawn to Crime

Even on a magical island full of oddities and freaks, the twins still seem to attract curious gazes with their presence. But the twins were used to the gawking as the slithered through the city's seedier underbelly. But given that lax immigration process and penchant for bringing in criminals like themselves, places like this were bound to spring up in paradise.

"Ah cold stone walls, mildew growing along cracks seeping with water, and that scent of rot lingering in the stagnate air? Reminds you of home right?" suggested Char as the twins make their way down the street way

"If by home you mean a dank cave... then yes... except shorebirds and silverfish we have discrepant..." grumbled Merlot as she pointed out to a couple of non-descriptive hooded figures.

"Yeah suppose its bit a more crowded here. But nothing that a bit of murder and genocide can't fix right?" joked Chardonnay whom's eyes catch the glimmer of gold being peddled away by some lankly man. While Merlot was busy scoffing at the city's degenerates, Char helped herself to quick slight of hand to snatch a golden necklace with one of her hands when she was sure no one was looking.

"Hmph yeah so long as we are not the one's instigating it. Its remarkable this society can hold itself together considering how different everyone is." remarked Merlot, looking to her sister just in time to see a new necklace that she was 100% certain was not adoring her sibling neck earlier.

Merlot gave her sister a disapproving glare but said nothing of it so to avoid attracting attention. Chardonnay seemed proud herself.

As the pair were abruptly stopped by a man with an eye tattoo strategically blocking their path forward. The blonde hair twin perked their ears up while the purple haired one narrows their eyes on their obstructed.

"Finders keepers." declared Char, two hands resting on her hip while the third help up with a shrug. She made no protest as the necklace was removed and placed upon her sister. Merlot seemed someone perplex but curls a smile.

"Hmmm... he does have a point... on both accounts." giggled Merlot as she looks with her sister with a shit-eating grin.

"Bhah... he was clearly haggling off stolen wares anyway. But I guess I should take better care... gotten rusty with the whole slight of hand thing." mumbled on Chardonnay, looking to the man with keen interest.

"Yes it would seem you attracted some attention... but not the unwelcome sort it would seem." spoke up Merlot, studying him with her eyes "I do not believe we are familiar with each other. I am Merlot, and my careless sister her is Chardonnay. We are just perusing and reminiscing down memory lane."

"Ah, the world has always been a dog eat dog world. Now does stealing from a thief that make me good person? A bad person? Probably just a bad bitch but hey I'm just trying survive is all it is." commented Char in response to Tyler's remark.

As he moved closer to Merlot, Chardonnay made no real reaction as they seemed more focus on the path ahead of them though she made sure to keep one ear to listen in on Tyler to make sure he was still walking next to them. Merlot in contrast eyes the shift curious as he made his way to her. There was a single flick of her forked tongue to get his scent, then put on smile as she resumed a cordial conversation.

"Well meet Tyler. Your caution is understandable... nobody in our trade wants to get tangled due to another's poor planning or execution." Merlot then gives her sibling a sharp look, to which Char rolled her eyes.

"And yet you still risk to accompany us even when it is clear that would bring trouble. What about us strikes your fancy I wonder." spoke Merlot, begging to question to see if Tyler is will to bite.

Chardonnay coughed an auditable laugh, then cups an ear over to her sister and whispers to her sister in Croatian "Dobro, stvarno mi se sviđa ovaj tip." [Translation: Okay I am really starting to like this guy.]

Her sister just smirks and rolls her eyes.

"Oh he is buttering us up for sure. But it is nice of him to look past our appearance." mused Merlot as they look to the reappeared Tyler.

"But I whole heartily concur. Good and bad, are just social constructions that are dependent on who had the power preach their own narratives. The universe is otherwise indifferent to the concept of morality." agreed Merlot as she adds to the conversation.

"Eh... enough philosophy and discussing that nature of man like Plato or whomever." Chardonnay then leans in a bit closer to Tyler with big grin on her face "Alright Tyler... have to say you have me intrigued so tell us bit more about yourself and how it is you ended up here."

"You and half the people on this island." remarked Chardonnay whom then narrows her eyes "You are not very forthcoming huh?"

Char then side eyes Merlot for a second, then smirks and turns her gaze back to Tyler "I guess that makes you a bit like my sister huh? But if that is the game you are going to play I can't really blame you."

Merlot made no real reaction throughout the exchange, save for slight smile when Tyler gave her that look. She merely observed until her sister finished saying her piece.

"Well we all have our secrets. Perhaps we will tell us more in due time. Not like he is the only one with a target on his back."
