How the hell did our guy manage to stand long enough to do a whole set in those shoes *and* follow that up with being on his knees in a body that clearly resents existing?? Shocking he can move without popping some aspirin at the minimum.
Bean muffins. They sound like abominations, but I looked it up (they exist) and the demons on my shoulder kinda wanna give it a go.
Honestly, Poppy worries me from multiple points. Clearly, there’s the lying about the finances. If Lux is worrying about groceries, then he is getting by on the skin of his teeth with no room for error.
Then Poppy’s going around causing property damage on the casual?? They clearly need to have a serious conversation about what the landlord can throw them out for. What if the landlord drops by for a surprise inspection on those monster tenants they hate (and probably charge more than anyone else in the building)? Enough noise complaints could be grounds to evict too.
(And wouldn’t that be a bitch, if Lux managed to- by some miracle- scrabble the cash together only to be thrown out for things that Poppy is doing!)
How much do you wanna bet Lux is gonna end up neck deep in the illegal magic materials side of the racketeering faster than Carmine popped a boner?
