It was their more casual attire, still plenty of reflective features for eyesight purposes but the fabric was darker in color. Black hood sheltering their face which still had all it's decorum for don't look at me purposes. A rare day of actually being fairly laid back with no major needs for stirring up trouble. That being said a little boredom led them to pick the first face they saw while roaming, as somebody to bother. "You there!" Dramatic pointing at them, "What's your name?"

Reluctant Allies
Requested by anon!
"Oh, I guess... if I must."
"I don't like you, you don't like me."
"We have no choice but to get along."
"I don't want to help you!"
"Don't make me do this. Ughhh..."
"You have never said a nice word to be in my life, and yet here I am. Helping."
"Just - shut up and take my hand."
"If I'm going to have to hang out with you, can you try to be less insufferable?"
"You are unbearable!"
"We're working together. Shut up."
"I don't like it either, no!"
"We're going to do this then never have to look at each other again."
"Why are we doing this again?"
"Just - pretend. Go along with it!"
"I'm going to smack you if you don't shut up and get on with it."
"What does complaining get us? Huh?"
"You have to help, you idiot!"
"I'm not doing this by myself."
"Yes, yes, you hate me, so on, so forth."
"We're going to go do this together."
"No! [Name]!"
"I never shouted for them I don't know what you're talking about."
"I don't care about them. No. Nu uh."
"We're doing this because we have to, not because I want to."
"For God's sake, you're unbearable."

It was a slow day, only so much peddling of solving people's problems to be had. So instead leaning against a wall to put liquid from one of many flammable vials upon them; onto their boots with an rag. Making the silver material shinier- but that was certainly not the point in their exercise.
Metallic clink of their trusty old lighter; watching the flame for a moment before igniting their boots. A quick little flip into an handstand with practiced poise just letting the fire burn away the fluid.
Eyes registering somebody else in the side street by the change in the flames flickering more than reliable vision. Hooded head looking towards them before sticking one flaming boot out in between the two of them. "You seem lost." Some droplets into the air, burnt up before could luckily make contact.

Rocking forward onto the tips of their boots, close to the other's face and not scared of the invasion of personal space. "Have you ever considered being so serious, dramatically lessens your life span?" No clue if that information was remotely correct. "Especially towards me, in which case it's like scowling at a toddler and at least twenty years off your life for it."

Swerving through the crowd, trying their best to navigate when all the shadows caused by the density made their vision fail. At the feeling of crashing into somebody- immediately using gloved hands to shove them away.
"Watch it."
As if wasn't likely all their own fault, ignoring the sensation of blood trickling down their head. Unaware that their jacket hood had fallen off so among all the artful makeup to make staring or identification tricky- was that noticeable trail of red blood.

Ill & Injured Sentences, Vol. 5
(Sentences for muses that don't feel so great, and for muses trying to take care of another. Adjust phrasing where needed)
"How long will this take to heal?"
"Your memory will return over the next several days, so we'll wait and watch."
"You better sit down before you keel over!"
"You're suffering from a head trauma. You appear to have mild retrograde amnesia."
"Am I going to die?"
"Do I need to worry about you?"
"You're self-medicating with homemade drugs?"
"Are you trying to fix me?"
"Have the headaches started yet?"
"I don't deserve to die like this!"
"I've never felt pain like this, ever!"
"Why are you walking? You were in a coma!"
"You can keep on telling yourself that you're fine, but you're not fine!"
"This may be something of an understatement, but you are not doing well."
"You better take that shirt off. You can't get bloodstains like that out if they set."
"Your head wound wasn't caused by an accident. It was the result of a gunshot."
"Don't you die on me! You hear me?"
"A panic attack is a miscued fight-or-flight mechanism. You think it's a heart attack, but the body is just sending oxygen to organise that need it for defence."
"Listen, you sit here and bleed, or you trust me."
"Was I in some kind of accident?"
"Up until the punching, this was a real nice party."
"I'm going to bleed out while we have this conversation. Can we do this somewhere else?"
"Hey, don't go to sleep. You probably have a concussion."
"Shouldn't you be resting?"
"Do you have any lingering pain from the accident?"
"Am I going to die? I mean, soon?"
"You broke my nose!"
"You can fool the doctors, but you can't fool me."
"They have absolutely fabulous drugs here! I feel great!"
"I'm sorry, does that hurt?"
"This won't hurt. It'll just feel a touch odd."
"Some people swear by hair of the dog, but I refer nature's sponge: the egg."
"I'm in too much pain to go to sleep."
"If you like breathing, you might want to fix this."
"I've never felt so helpless in my life."
"Is there someone we should call for you?"
"I know I don't know you well enough to say this, but you haven't seemed yourself lately."
"Are you sure you don't want to see a doctor?"
"There's bad, and there's bad."
"You're going to be okay. You're going to be alright, okay?"

"Well clearly you're not my original evening plans, but wrong guy is a stretch." Shrug exaggerated so the movement wasn't lost in their clothing. Ever so slight bounce in their heavy boots to be just a little bit closer. For a very split second and easily playing off the reason for it as just movement. "If nothing comes to mind other than possibly that though." It would be an sign of the end times far they were concerned. "What's your take on splitting the coin payment for something then?" Not quite a genuine offer more an prodding inquiry so far. "And how do you feel about shimmer."
Tilt of hooded head, light bouncing in and out off the sparkly makeup. "Most anything; everybody needs something-." Never even the slightest pause into their favorite sales pitch. Really they just wanted something to do, boredom and a no show client meant prodding at the first person in sight. "Poisoning, sex, hand written poems, faked deaths, very specific trinkets obtained." Weight shifted onto soles of their boots, "Surely there is something you need."

// maddie stares at them with a look of surprise. it's certainly not what she expected, but she doesn't have a good response for them either.
awkward giggle leaves her pink-ish lips. " I think you've got the wrong guy. " , is what she ends up responding, clearing her throat, fiddling with her clothes. they're sparse, she hasn't settled into piltover very well yet. the climate is so different for something so close to noxus.
" unless it's sex, I don't think you're looking at the right person. " , she adds, with a roll of her eyes. but then she'd definitely be on the wrong end - not her style to pay someone else for those services.

Free climbing trying to get away from the trouble they'd gotten themselves in. Until one hand couldn't grip the next spot; boot trying to get purchase slipping knee into the hard surface. Attempting to regain stability only to lose all grip.
Pushing away from the wall so at least wouldn't scrape up more- vision not alerting them to the passerby beneath until had slammed into the ground in their path.
Hood falling away to reveal all the white, sparkly makeup that made staring at them so hard to maintain. Quickly pulling it back up as pivoted to be sitting out of the way. "I'm fine." Not that expected the stranger to care.

I feel one of the signs progress is possible with them/they aren't fully devoid of compassion (is that even if isn't attached to anybody, does have a strict stashing shimmer away from the firelight base- "I can still set it aflame, just not have it within this space or burn it here.")
And honestly the biggest things that would make them authentically interested would be all the "stupid rules" it would be somebody course correcting them+ solutions to handle things.

Resisting the urge, desire to poke and prod at their eyes. Rub at them to try making them focus better. Letting out an irritated huff before reaching out to the nearby figure. "Hey do you have a match or light? Can pay for the use."

Forever thinking about how gets into the firelights by an whole 'ah we're both disrupting this shipment' situation where they pull an whole "Yeah, I'm here to destroy it." As it isn't untrue but also there to pocket some for later pyrotechnic endeavors.
-That offers to make sure it all burns up/that 'you can go do whatever else is on your to do list'
-Gets memorized by the board's glowing (its less bad for their condition/more safe than the fire thing but when their attention latches it's a problem in the making)
-'I don't really fit in that environment, but it was offered and I could maybe be civil enough to make it work'
-At first very much only there for a steady address, the glow of the boards/how the tree is+the firelights insect population but- ever so slowly becomes part of it even if just out of self interest more than anything else

Light reflecting off their highly reflective outfit; with the movement of silver boots and an arm slung around their shoulder. Allowing one boot to dramatically leave the ground. "So, do you have a suggestion box."

Rules weren't their thing, people were just not in an teamwork sense and it felt a bit silly. An extended offer to be a part of something; the entrancing glow of the boards and allure of actual firelight creatures making for some civil behavior at the moment.
So perhaps had borrowed, one of the boards out of curiosity and found a nice dark little space to try figuring it out. More so how the glow affected their vision condition. At least until noticed a movement of somebody standing there; quickly trying to tuck it behind their back. "What, can't a person brood alone in this world or is that illegal now too."
