An animal of some sort, perhaps, or maybe even a music box if someone had been playing a prank? But you see absolutely nothing but leaves and branches in every direction, plus a fantastic view of the park.

"intresting, must have jumped out or something" Evan thought to himself. He jumped down and brushed off the leaves from his sweater. He then heard his stomach growl. "Must be around lunch" he thought. Evan grabbed his stool and ran it back to his house. He really wanted some soup for lunch (he loves soup) so he then set off to find a soup store/restaurant.

(his fave soup is tomato)

It's almost disappointing. Everyone outside is seemingly on their way to their various jobs and activities as usual, the constant bustle almost a guarantee that no one will look twice at anyone else unless they want something. Like a newspaper, for instance. On the side of the street, you find what you're looking for - a newspaper boy waving his papers in the air as people rush by, proclaiming the headlines. "Learn all about Eski's latest invention! Or, if you'd prefer, read about the recent murder at the Lighthouse!"

"Um, excuse me," I say to the boy waving the paper. "How much for a paper?" Yesterday, er rather today, maybe... I don't know anymore!

Either way, the last time I read the newspaper on this day, I read the funnies, so that probably could use that as a backup if I don't believe the date.

I'm sure we could find some guides at the library..." she adds brightly. "You... you haven't happened to have been banned from the library, have you?"

"No, not yet," I shrug. "Although my kind is generally..... ah.... less than worshipped around here." I laugh nervously, tapping my horns in emphasis. "Nothing I don't deal with on a daily basis. I'm comfortable going just about anywhere, as long as you don't mind a couple sideways glances."

Evan heads to the store. When he gets there, he grabs some crackers (to put in the soup) and heads to the front counter. "Hey, back again" Evan says to the store clerk, "do you have any tomato soup?"

"Fresh off the press." He stares curiously at you for a second and adds, "Interesting eyes you got there." (cue me looking up gender neutral formal titles lol)

(I've known about Mx. for quite a while, but I'm genderfluid myself, so :P)

I pay the two coppers. "Thank you very much. I usually get teased about them. No clue how I got them, but I try to take it in stride." I glanced at the date on the newspaper. "Anyhow, is your job normally to sell the papers or is this a part-time job before college?"

(Not meaning to be offensive. I'm sorry if it comes off that way, Lark. Edited so that it is a bit softer on wording.)
