- Disguised as Salazar "Sal" Worthington:
Tomoe would soon be attacking Fairy Tail, and this was no mystery. Ever since entering town he'd gotten stares of fear as if they could piss themselves any second. For what reason? Why did they fear him so? Was there any reason in particular they looked at him like he was the devil? There had to be a reason more than nothing, right?
Oh. Right.
Sure, right, he was the most wanted man in town with a bounty on his head to make anyone rich. What of it? Was that a problem to people? Maybe they heard those overblown stories of child eating and skinning people alive, or of pissing all over a burning man's dying body while he screams a bloodcurdling scream. All true, of course, those just weren't his deeds. Yet still, they'd attribute those things to him all the same. He was a fallen guild master that betrayed his own guild, in the eyes of the public. Killed them like cattle. What kind of person would do such a thing? It was utterly, wholly, completely despicable! Why, Tomoe's heart was just throbbing with pain at the idea of a villain. Though... perhaps he would also understand that the villain had reasonable motives to do so, within their own mind, and that they were just a side character in their own story.
Right, that villain was him...
As he wandered through town, he eventually shifted into a disguise when nobody was looking – or when he thought nobody was looking, anyway. If he did find out anybody saw him change forms at the dead end of an unoccupied alley, he'd need to find them and bury them himself. They couldn't be allowed to reveal any secrets about him, or get away alive without consequences. That was what he decided upon taking up the responsibilities and duties of a cultist.
