Out of everyone else in Griffingate, she was probably the most suitable one to be a spy. She had spent a few days in Griffingate, adding long extensions to her short hair, before she had dyed all of her hair black. She had put in light-blue color contacts and she painted a realistic-looking fake third eye on her forehead to appear as a mutant to the Blackfallen. As for clothes, she had changed into a black t-shirt and a dark gray skirt with fishnet stockings and black high-heels.

Not being needed hurts. But he hasn't formed enough deep connections to truly be upset about being cut off from another's life. He wondered what it would feel like, though. To be unneeded. To have overstayed your welcome and be ushered out. One day he'll know... Maybe. It was a learning experience after all. But, in order to have his heart broken, he's going to need to talk to others. But who? Closing his eyes for a moment, the man waited quietly before opening his eyes. Whichever individual they landed on, he would talk to. Long black hair, blue eyes and a third eye? Cool. Walking over to her, he offered her a friendly smile as he spoke. "He~llo," a pause. With narrowed eyes, he stared at her for a moment before brightening up once more. "I haven't seen you around. Are ya new?" Came his lighthearted question, his head tilted ever so slightly to the side in a curious manner. "If so, welcome! I'm Jeong.
