Welcome To My Wicked World (OPEN)

[Deleted]

Jace eyed the loot – ahem, groceries – of a passing stranger and reached out a hand just in time to catch an apple from the top and looked it over. Shiny red, no spots. Good choice on that. He pushed his jacket aside and polished it on his worn out shirt then took a big bite of it. Ah, fresh apple. Delicious. Stolen. Even better. He grinned as he walked through the streets of New Rome. He bee lined for the aqueducts on the far side of town and the ritzy neighborhood that surrounded them. Lots to steal if he so desired. If not, then to look at and plan for later.

He waltzed into the nice part of town, looking at all the fancy homes. If you were cool, you lived near the aqueducts. Or the businesses. There was a greenhouse just there showing the early signs of fall. He walked up to the side and leaned against the glass, cupping his hands around his eyes to look inside. Colorful. Or, rather, it would be in about two weeks. He saw huge leaves near him with tiny orange things attached and grinned. Pumpkins. They would be awesome come another month or so. He almost went in to check them out. He’d come back when they were ripe. After all, those seeds he’d heard were beyond awesome when you baked them.

With that being said, he set off again. Hmm, interesting lawn ornaments there. He might have to steal one for grins and giggles. Or seed their garden with weeds. Sounded fun. When he got to the aqueducts, he looked up and wished he had a spray paint can. Or he could scale them and put something in the water. That might be fun. He took a huge bite of his apple – er, that lady’s apple that was now his – and grinned through apple juice-spattered teeth.

Everyone in this stupid city was so gullible it wasn’t even funny. No, it actually was pretty funny and she loved it. You could get away with pretty much anything here and no one would notice if you played your cards right. There was still so much that they needed to do to learn all they could about this place but it was still fun to mess with the people. Like right now! She had disguised herself and she was blonde with blue eyes. No one would know it was her and this made her happy. That was why she was taking advantage of some love struck Apollo kid.

She led him into the jewelry store and started to look around. This place was going to be a sanctuary for her! Being able to just twist these boys and get them to buy her things was going to make her so happy. Finally she spotted something amazing. Moving over to the counter her eyes landed on a beautiful heart shaped necklace and she smiled. Looking over to the boy she gave him an innocent look as she pointed it out. “You said you’d do anything to make me happy, right? Well I love that locket and want it so badly. Would you buy it for me?” She gave him a cute little pout and then when he bought it she grinned in triumph. This was like taking candy from a baby! Which that in itself was fun so stop hating on it.

When the necklace was handed over she smiled and put it on. It fit her perfectly it was the shape of a heart which with her mother being Venus and all. Leading the boy back outside to an alleyway she grinned as she turned and looked at him. “Go home now, the love of your life never really loved you. You were never good enough for her and you will never be good enough for anyone. She’s better off without you because you’re so pathetic.” She grinned and watched the boys look change. Love, who needed it anyways? Besides she got what she wanted from the boy. Once she left him there after telling him a few more things she grinned. Little sobbing fool.

As she walked she changed her hair and eyes back to normal and made her way to the aqueducts. Making her way through places she stopped and smirked. Someone had some laundry out on the line to dry? Oh this was golden. Sneaking around she made sure no one was around and watching before she took some things off and dropped them in the mud. The beautiful dress on the other hand she ripped and then pulled it down and stomped on it. There, now they would learn not to do that.

Once she finally reached the aqueducts she sat down, her fingers playing with the heart as she thought about it. This place would be in ruins soon enough. That was until the crunch of the apple could be heard. Turning around she spotted Jace. A smile finally came to her lips seeing one of her friends. Getting up she walked over to him. “Jace, it’s good to see you.” Her eyes look to his loot. “What all did you score today?” What, she was curious!

Jace hummed as he strolled along. This place was primed for trouble. They didn’t suspect a thing. Cozy homes all safe and sound. Or so they thought. Where to start? Maybe Senate. He could start some vicious rumors in there until they all pulled an ‘et tu Brute’ and knocked each other off. No more Senate. Then unseat the Consul. Then burn the Principia. Maybe destroy the Colosseum once he was done having fun there. Destroy all their power symbols until they lived in fear. Let that soak in a while until the hoot of an owl would send them running and they had stewed in their fear long enough, maybe even started to recover, then attack. That was his plot. He rather liked it. Hit the hot spots, bring them to their knees, let them cower, then kill them. Or just conquer them. That was his goal. He wanted subjects. Preferably a country worth, but this camp would do. He didn’t know what the others were after. Jake had killed that one girl, but he wasn’t sure the reasoning. Jake was freaky a bit, so unpredictable, yet also steady. Hard to describe. Emily was easy. She’d probably go for conquer and co-lead, either with all of them or with her new boyfriend. He held back a snicker. Mel was harder… she’d probably go with brutally murder them all after toying with them for a spell. Yes, Mel was just like that.

Speaking of Mel, there she was. He turned and wiped the apple juice on his jacket sleeve before grinning. “Belly!” Sometimes he called her that to try to get on her nerves. Nothing to short-circuit a girl like even itty bitty mildly calling her fat. Or mentioning her stomach area. Or anything that might suggest she had zits. Or something like that. He knew that because when he’d first met Emily, he accidentally noted a red spot on her chin and she’d punched him. How was he supposed to know that she’d been fighting that little spot for a week and was very frustrated with it? IT wasn’t his fault it was big and red and noticeable. Mel was different though. He liked to think he was safe, but he also knew that Mel was more lethal than Emily. Which made it more fun. Test his luck. He waved his juicy apple. “Always a pleasure, of course.” He took another bite and took his time eating, this time not bothering to wipe the juice away. “Just an apple at the moment, but dang, it’s a good ‘un. Might make me want to eat healthy or some crap. Probably not though. Who do I look like, Jake?” He laughed. He always poked fun at Jake. It was just his way of showing he considered him a good friend.
