She was wearing a black dress and those cute beige heels. Her long orange hair in soft curls and wearing a scarf to protect her head from the bright sun that might show up later. Also, it worked perfectly well to later hide your face in case of possible very dangerous people. If only she heard something from Lucifer her obsession would stop, she would not have to be afraid about being on a festival and bump into people she didn't want to see. Even better was that it was now empty but her bright red hair surely made it easy to spot her. She didn't stop though, she didn't give up and soon enough her world would be about her alone.

But right now she could use something to drink, like apple juice? She walked towards the plaza, she would be gone before too many people would show up. However the plaza was basically empty enough to see everyone else around and there surely was a strange stranger over there. Now Lacie was collecting very useful people around her and on top of her list was now Lucifer but he surely had trouble finding her sister which was logical but this one, this one looked interesting as well. "You okay over there?"

Lacie wasn't surprised she was feeling unwell, just look at her, those things on her skin couldn't describe something healthy. Now she was healthy, she was allowed to complain about the world again as she wasn't all that miserable herself anymore. This is a good thing though ever since losing her own soul that is, it was all getting better and better, it was a good thing and she kept remembering that to herself, she surely became a nicer person that way too, to herself at least.

"and most people are fools to see the bigger picture." It was not some thing to do today, she wasn't going to pretend to be Alice, she was just being Lacie, trying to find powerful people around her to pester Alice and to protect herself for anything and the freaks would stand out the most. And this girl become even more interesting than Lacie had expected. She was surely happy for some dumb reason to hear that the stranger had not met an interesting person before. "How unfortunate." she said too sarcastic but that was the whole idea.

She remained by Tsukiko her side who introduced herself, "Let's say that this empty festival just become fuller of interesting things. I'm Lacie."

Lacie laughed shortly and softly, "Yes well we aren't all perfect." Her faith in Illumin has been destroyed already with her perfect sister, so perhaps this was faith telling her the other way around. So it was only more perfect to have a deal with a Lich and now meeting some sort of well whatever the hell this kid was. She gave a wry smile but she surely was amused, "I can see some people underestimate a gift." Well not everyone would consider it a gift but the good ones, "Care for a drink somewhere?"

Which was a too smooth reply for a girl that juts said that Lacie was flirting with her. She wasn't sure if she was actually up for that to be fair she never had anything else to think about but the revenge that she wanted her for her miserable life. This was surely confusing but she played that game now, or was she really playing a game? "I couldn't agree more Tsukiko, if only there were other people but now we can do whatever we want." Not be bothered about anyone, especially not her sister, her fiance or anyone else that knew that Lacie should be arrested for whatever dumb reason Alice had given it, attempt on murder or something? She shook her head, "So what do you like to do?"

She didn't strife for perfection but the heck the world could be so much more perfect but at this point the red head tried to forget that right now, there were other things that mattered and that was that she was still a weak human being that couldn't do anything without counting on others, surely she had one round of fictory but that was not really fair as the person was already weakened but no one would hear that in the story of the victor. But she needed to play this right to get another strong well what to call it properly, bodyguard. At least this one might scare of the beings thanks to the red lines on her body. "first of all I totally agree with you and yet second of all, even with my flaws I can call myself perfect." Because she had another version that was not perfect. And where she first thought in Angels and the Divine and everything, she learned that that didn't work and that Demons and other bad things might be better counted on. "I definitely agree on that." It was a shame though that no one could simply talk about what they really thought without being denied about it or judged, she remembered singing that horrible song about her sister on the cloudy day in Hargeon and it had taken things in a good way but still it was a dangerous to do.

Although this person gave her the feeling that she could be totally honest about that. But she might see how that would go on the spot as she asked Tsukiko to go and have a drink with her, as she had planned the whole time. She asked what her new friend would do, well friend was a bit overbearing yet but still, "We can always try later." her instinct had been right, after all she was looking for a definite line about how to figure out that people thought the same about her and the thing was that she was perhaps far too obsessed with one person. It was maybe a good idea to get a bigger target than one person that looked like her.

She only frowned as she moved a few steps ahead into a direction to get some drinks.. date? Ah well.

Lacie could easily see herself as a perfection if you compared her with the wrong edition which was her sister Alice. But that was alright and with the last answers that her friend had given her, she was sure she could say something but she didn't want to immediately sound pathetic. She brushed her fingers through her red hair and threw it over her shoulder, "Well it's easy to compare perfection if you know what the opposite is, in my case it's my twin sister." She looked lovely towards Tsukiko to say that she wasn't a psychopath. So she walked off to find a stand to get something to drink, "Surely sounds like fun, I like to see other people their ambitions."

Her small heels making a click clack sound on the pavement that was there for the festival, okay maybe heels weren't a good idea if you considered there was grass part as well. She turned to look at the stand where Tsukiko pointed at and shrugged, "Yea sounds like a good thing to do." Did she already mention how nice it was that it was quiet here. She stared at the menu as they got closer, those hang above the bar and gave a list of none alcoholic beaverages which made sense at this hour, so instead of the apple juice she thought about before, she ordered a strawberry, mango smoothie.

Lacie gave a wry smile towards Tsukiko, "You could say so, it's hard to not be the favourite when you are identical. But that changed over the years." She didn't say who because officially it had always been the other way around until she read the diary of her mother where the woman confessed, she got the wrong one. She had no idea what was going on but she had even hold a summoning moment to talk about it but she had called it off as her mother had not denied it. She didn't want to talk about it, she thought she was always talking about Alice and now she was so done with it. All she had to figure out if she had been able to summon her dad to become a demon and set on her sister.

She frowned a little when they set down to drink their beverage, she tilted her head too, "You mean a guild?" because she didn't know else what organizations she could talk about but she wondered if it was only her mind, "Do you mean Phantom Lord?" she had planned to join that until the moment she figured out Alice had been there before. Which made it so that it wasn't fun anymore. So she decided against it, "But good for you." She said but even if it wasn't going on about that, she didn't mind Tsukiko.

Lacie pushed her hair on the left side behind her ear and put the straw in her mouth, nodding slightly as she just came to that awkward moment that she realized that Alice took 90% of her thoughts and that was pathatic, she felt like she definitely needed a hobby or something else to fuss over because this wasn't going to work. Not for her self at the very least, so she would focus on other things, perhaps she could join Phantom Lord with Tsukiko, but that was the other part of the conversation that would come a little later and made her consider it again. Perhaps too early in the conversation of knowing Tsukiko, but perhaps itw as super easy if you knew someone else that would join. She needed to consider this. "It's what they call a group of mages that are able to work together and well yeah there are some good things about being in a guild." She gave a short explanation and hoped it was clear enough, she actually didn't know if Tsukiko was a mage.

"Right so an organisation in the town you were last? Where were you? I know a couple." Of guilds she knew but she would just leave it be for now, she simply had to think about it. She nodded, that's what she thought and well to get this bounding going o n so she had some back up when she would have that fight with Alice so it was better to get something done about, but right now she first had to think about it. "So what do you consider fun?"

Perhaps it was good that she would have some distraction. But that made her realize again why she had wanted to join a guild and now she as incapable of joining the mysterious Grimoire Heart, Phantom Lord wasn't such a bad idea, "Wauw, that's actually very interesting, languages are, good for you." also good for her, real eye opener, "Yea it was probably Oak that's indeed where Phantom Lord reside. I wanted to join once but I can't believe how difficult it can be to join something like that, but than again I had some issues with magic and you know people want to see it." She still had problems with it but at least it didn't attack her anymore, that was a good thing.

But than Lacie asked the question that got her intruding from the beginning and she hoped that Tsukiko was a daredevil for answering it. Perhaps she was, considering she already looked strange with the red markings, perhaps only other daredevils spoke to her and Lacie was half of this group so the exception. She leaned on her left fist, planted her left elbow at the table and looked at Tsukiko explaining. She didn't really get everything that her new friend said but still there was risk here that she was willing to take, "Causing trouble always seems fun." I mean putting something on fire was a risk as well and dropping dead people? Wait, she had done jobs like that in Oak too, "Was it with Remy?"

She ticked with her perfect nails on the table surface, who knew what was the best way to approach this, screw the best things to approach things, it didn't bring her anywhere. Actually by not tending to laws it brought her further, look at finding Lucifer or well he basically found her. "Yes me too." she trailed off a little, "If only I got the point where I felt necessary to use magic." She wasn't even sure if the lacrima really installed Dragon Slayer magic because at this point she only had used it in the accident with Kon and never tried it again, not because she was afraid of it but she really saw no use in using magic.

So she did meet Remy that atleast explained that not all her quest were neutral, although she didn't always see the harm in Remy his quests. Tsukiko spoke about a doctor and Lacie had to think about it, than she vaguely remembered her nightmare while being awake, "Oh right, I remember that guy, if he ever offers you some weird white stuff, be careful." Because she couldn't really explain what it was all about. But as the conversation continued, Lacie nodded again, yeah keep her mind occupated from her obessesion would be a great one as well, as well as for it to be fun, "Perhaps a guild is your thing than, more people to have fun with." although she had no idea if they were interesting at all.

She took a sip of her mango smoothie, at least this was established, now how would Lacie get to the point of being able to use Tsukiko was point two.

Lacie didn't as much wanted to use Tsukiko but it was nice to have someone with powers, as she didn't trust herself with her dragon slayer ability, it sorta exploded when she had just wanted to give this sort of warning shot towards Kon. That hadn't gone as planned but still it was awesome, if only she dared again. All with all this conversation with Tsukiko made her realize that she was a coward and pretty much obsessed with her sister, it was almost as if her second plan should be to kill Alice and take over her life. She wouldn't be good at it, she also didn't want that. Let's be fair there was enough space in Fiore to be without her but she seemed to be everywhere!

She sighed, she really needed an hobby. Lacie nodded though as they spoke about the guild, yes it should definitely bring interesting people around and people that thought in a same way, perhaps even easier than Tsukiko and again the red head wondered if she should just jump in as well. She didn't know why she got a short moment of goosebumps when Tsukiko said her name, it was as if something was missing and that her body was warning her that something might be going wrong soon, "I thought about joining Phantom Lord at some point but yea, it never really happened." She shrugged, again she thought that she should take this chance, "Yea I should try to get along with that, surely sounds nice." which was a very strange way to describe it, she only knew Tsukiko now but the same as with Lucifer, she just jumped the gun and went for it.

After admitting that she wanted to join in the past too, it seemed that Tsukiko was making up a plan, strange. Very strange, Lacie never believed that people would like her if she was just herself, surely she held herself midly, not immediately jumping into the pool to show the hurt and the wounds and her crazy behaviour again. Again, Lacie only existed out of an obsession, she really need.. she kept thinking about it that didn't make it any better, perhaps a good training on magic and some new friends. She wondered how Judina was doing and if she was still considering the two of them friends. But a perfect idea, that's where her thoughts had left her off and sthe stared at the composure of her new friend, one that might understand her more than Judina would ever.

"No idea to be honest, I haven't been a real searcher, but here in Fiore you have a guild insignia, a symbol of the guild, of course depending on where you have it on your body but I think they are pretty secretive about it as they have some issues with the Rune Knights and whatsoever." The red head shrugged, the Rune Knights sucked anyway, they left her behind again, her sister, her cousin. Pathetic as they were, Lacie didn't need them, only to play her game.

Had she not raised her eyebrow about the perfect idea sentence, than she did now, "Lure them out?" Which was a fascinating idea that never crossed her mind and never would because it was crazy, no one would want a weakling like her. She listened to the plan which was crazy but she nodded, "S-sure." They would kill her and only Tsukiko would stay alive because her impressive looks, wonderful but well it didn't hurt to try. She could probably always hang up a story that she was brain washed or so. Hopefully that Phantom would never got any trouble with her sister.

Lacie nodded, a symbol yea, but she had no idea what it looked like she hadn't been close to someone from Phantom Lord, she had only heard that a waitress called her Alice, mentioned something about how she was leaving Phantom Lord and it made her decide not to join, very mature of her she knew that. But the thing was, would people not always recognize her as Alice, even to her standards, they looked nothing alike, Alice looked.. no she wasn't going to say it. Perhaps they had all forgotten her or those people were arrested. She wasn't sure if she liked talking about her rear, she actually moved her hand off the table to rub above her hip to not show she as insecure about it.

She finished the last bit of her mango smoothie, left the cup on the table as she stood up to follow Tsukiko, even if she had been here only shortly she seemed to remember more than Lacie and she arrived not so long ago either. "You have a good memory." the Dragon Slayer noted, the thing was she did too, that's why she could play off smart while she wasn't. Not really, book smart that is. She stood still and looked at the bucket, trying to remember if she had seen the insignia somewhere so she could remember it and perhaps draw it, if only she was good at that. Which made her quite distracted, she wasn't a good multitasker and not that smart it did wonders for people.

So that was when.. well what would you want to call it happened and her brown eyes stared at Tsukiko, noo! That was her first kiss. Her bottom lip trembled as she wanted to ask what happened but the surge of mana through her body, which actually did hurt, took her away from the possiblilities and she felt in pain but she simply frowned, narrowed her eyes and touched the upper part of her face, her jaw bone was covered in a strange shadowy substance that hid her face, "This is your magic?" she asked surprised, well darkness was the complete opposite of her own, so it better stuck around for as long as was needed.

She bit her lip as she looked at Tsukiko making her own mask, "The entrance of the festival is a good start." she muttered softly, she wasn't so sure what to think of all this, Tsukiko would have to like her and to protect her but how did that work.
