Roulette, of the dastardly trio, wandered into a random shop in a mall looking for something pretty to wear. She did so love the frivolties, and anything beautiful and elaborate she adored. Strange, one might think, that it was her beauty that she found so annoying in public, and yet she would flaunt it off only to her own reflection in the most expensive dresses she could buy. She wore a low hood to hide her upper face in shadow and wore a pair of 3D glasses to distort her enchantful eyes from view and make her appear to others quite normal. Other than that she wore normal frayed jeans and tennis shoes.

A verry small girl with bright blond hair that seemed to gently curl at the end was running around in a verry elaborate Alice-in-wonderland dress. It was even complete with a neat black ribben tied in to her hair, and a pair of stockings. The littel girl looked maby twelve or thirteen but infact Sophie was a bit older than that. She held a book in her hand and an annoyed look on her face.

Atlas was wandering the mall as well, he walked into the same random shop as Roulette , he hadn't been looking where he was going, so when he had meant to go a small Gothic clothing shop, he had instead walked into the dress shop into which roulette had gone.

The Store wasn't simply a dress store, but it was an expensive clothing shop, and never the newcomer fear, for gothic clothing was in the far western clothing in elaborate fashions and styles. Roulette let her hand run across the different fabric that was very silky and expensive. She peered out of the corner of her red and blue glasses and saw the small child with a peeved face clutching some form of novel. Also, she felt the ominous seeming presence of a dark and pale boy enter the shop and he seemed quite out of place really. Those three really were the only people in the shop, other than the Jerries who worked there. She looked back away from the other people to take a pretty item off the hanger. It was a black and electric-blue halter dress made of silk and lace, which seemed quite shapely. She knew it would be absolutely breathetaking, but looking at the tag, She looked a bit shocked. Only $150? Well, she was certainly adding that to the credit card. Ka-ching.

Sophie slowed down abit as she entered the shop. Looking almost dazzeled as she looked at some of the dresses. "Great..im in a lota store..." she said in a light mousie voice."Daddy would have a fit" she giggled lightly as she looked through the racks, each of the dresses looked rather symalar to her frilly lollie goth version of alice in wonderland dress. Sophie didnt even mind the pricetags, like she was gonna buy any thing but books, Her daddy always sent his dresses. Even though she flet rediculs in them she still wore them cuz she had no clean clothes and found it oddly fun to dress up like storybook chairters. Sophie blamed her father for that.

Atlas looked through the clothes at random, He mildly noticed Roulette buying the dress, but he returned to looking at some of the long coats they had in stock, he seemed to need to but allot of these as they tore, or just straight decayed off his back rather quickly when he wore them.

As Roulette left the cash register she saw the little girl mumble to herself, and thinking she was lost, came up to her, "Ey kid. Are you lost er somethin?" She said with a bit of an unnamed accent. The girl looked a bit ticked off more than bewildered honestly, but kids were weird these days. Besides, she didn't seem to have any parents with her, and she looked quite young. She barely noticed the very inconspicous goth in the corner buying jackets. He didn't seem to do anything interesting. Roulette wondered if he brooded often. She really couldn't judge brooding level from this far away. Oh well.

Atlas was quickly bored with the jackets the store had in supply, so he began to head home, as he walked out atlas walked rather closely to the strange girl and the small one. Atlas's shoulder cause the side of roulettes hood as he went by, the following pull brought it down and pulled the glasses down some at the same time, he turned to apologize just moments after it happened

Sophie looked up at roulette almost startled. "N...no...im not lost...and--and im not a littel kid im fifteen thankyou..." she said backing away slightly from her, sophie wanted to shrink away agin. Her eyes seemed to get bigger till she did a dobule take on the man looking at the jackets. She got confused...when did he get there...sophie gave a sigh, she did get lost...it was just in the innerworkings of her head.

Roulette cursed inwardly as he hood was pulled back and her glasses crashed to the floor. Her blue eyes seemed to glow with enchantment and her curling blond hair did nothing to hide her gorgeously proportioned face. She was like a porcelain doll. Her eyes got real wide in fright and she reached to pull her hood up but by now it was too late. "Listen, d-don't follow me, okay?" She said, starting to turn around. Nearly all the cases of anyone ever seeing her led to them being stalkers for an hour or two. It was just something that happened. Part of her power she guessed. Stupid, annoying power...

"Ma'am are you ok?", Atlas asked very calmly, he seemed to be treating her as a stranger, like she was nothing special, luckily for roulette the boy's connection with the void had held back her power long enough to leave him unaffected past mild worry for her reaction.

Sophie blinked a couple of times star struck. "He-hey wate..." she said grabbing the tail of the girls jacket. Her voice, wasnt demanding, nor scary or loud. it was soft and gentle and sweet, somthing that matched her phicicality verry well. "Why are you running so fast for?" she asked looking at the floor, roulette reminded her of all the lovely princesses she had ever read about, repunzel, cinderella, briar rose...or rather...most of them any way. Sophie looked up at the boy with almost a confused face.

Roulette sighed as the girl grabbed her jacket, "I'm not running, I'm walking. I... gotta go back to the casino or something." She hated how things like this always happened. It was a shame really to waste such a trip down here only to go all the way home again. "Oh wait..." She said, a little embarassed. She turned around and went back to the shop to pick up her 3D glasses. She passed the boy again. "Yeah I'm fine..." She said, sounding annoyed. "Thankfully, you don't seem affected. Good." She said, putting the glasses on again so that no more people would 'catch the sickness'. "This little girl though is gonna be following me around for a while." She motioned with her head to her newest stalker, Sophie.

Sophie rubed at her eyes a littel bit, she was still trying to get rid of the dazzel the girl accadently thrown at her. "I..i dont think its verry nice to ask a person if thier lost and try to help them and then dissaper.." she said quietly, but the way sophie said it and the way she was rubbing her eye looked almost as if she were about to cry. Sophie realy wasnt, but it was just a nasty cowincidince.

The Dazzle didn't really wear away for an hour or two. Sometimes longer depending on how little else the person dares think about. If one really focused, they could be infatuated with her for nearly a fortnight. But if someone had lots they'd rather focus on, it would be an hour at most.
Roulette shook her head to Atlas, "It's hard to explain. Well, no it's not. I charm people, so I have to hide behind silly things." She said, biting the inside of her cheek with thought. "Well, Sweetheart," She continued having turned then to the girl, "That was before you saw me. I'm sorry for being rude, I really am... Don't cry... please? Aw now your making me feel bad..." One could see Roulette's eyes narrow in concern beneath the flimsy layers of blue and red plastic.

" interesting, i've never heard of that kinda power before, but yeah neat, if not annoying im sure", Atlas said looking thoughtful, as he did some purple electricity crackled off of his shoulders and eyes

Roulette glanced and nearly laughed, "Oh yeah right. Lots of people have the power of Beauty. Seriously. An enchantress of some form is usually in some book or something. Iunno." She shook her head and patted the girl on the head, "Just don't follow me, alrighty?...You didn't see anything, that was all in your head."

Sophie blinked at her a couple of times, "No its my contacts.." she said in a small voice "You dazzeld me and they went funny..." She said with a bit of a bubbleness to her words. As if the girl came strate out of a chibi manga and tryed desprately to be normal but people found her too damn cute. Sophie hear the crack and looked up at Atlas her buggy eye got larger when she saw the thunder "Are you a kirin?" she asked refering to the god of storms.

Atlas laughed, " No i'm not a Kirin, I just have the power of the void, nothing big really", he said with a smile and almost timid voice.

Roulette glanced between the two of them, "So, neither of you are stalking me? Awesome!" She said cheerily, turning on her heel, but then gave a double take, "Waita minute. What you say bout Kirin or something? Void? What's that?" She asked, placing a hand on her hip, her shopping bag hanging limply off her wrist.

Sophie gave a shrug scraching her head kocking a few of her golden strands out of place. "I havent read any thing about the void so i wouldnt know...maby i should read more sifi..." he mumbled lightly. Sophie tugged on the boys arm "What is it?" she asked percing her lips slightly.

Atlas sighed, " um here its easier to show then explain", Atlas lifted a hand , a small orb of swirling black and purple energy appeared, He then walked over to a small tree they had growing in the corner of the store. Atlas touched the tree with the energy, the moment they collided the tree turned to a withered husk then crumbled to dust.

Roulette watched and her expressions changed from amazement to shock. "You are a tree killer. That thing was alive!" She said, genericly Dismayed. (haha, generic.)

Sophie chest seemed to knot up when she watched the tree wither away and die. It was sad for her, yes things died everyday, but to wach somthing die made her heart hurt. "so...the void...is death.." she said her voice sounding heart broken, but her face only had a slight froun. "Your a bit like the guy from ridic...you know the comic book?"

"No the void isn't like death, the void is the force behind Decay, I have to power to make anything i want wither and die,... and yes i know it was alive...", Atlas said, for some reasons the words of the little girl and Roulette seemed to have hurt him, the black lines across his body became bolder, and more frequent, one or two of them had even opened into large cracks with purple glow coming from them.

Roulette blinked, "That's Depressing. Gosh you must brood a lot more than I had first imagined!" She said, before seeing his skin change and morph. She naturally took a step back, as anyone in their right mind really would. "... Sir... What's your name?" She said, thinking he might be able to be talked out of exploding the building if she had some friendly leeway. She grabbed the collar of Sophie's dress and pulled her back to step back with her, to keep her safe, just in case.

Sophie felt her self coke and then get ramed backwards. "Holk..ouch...realy?" she asked slightly annoyed with the other girl, but she didnt sound like it. Sophie rubbed her neck a bit as she found her way out of Roulette's grasp adn walked up to the boy and rubbed at his arm. "Im sorry, so your power decays things? ages them?" she asked trying to make him feel better.

Roulette sighed, "I figured. Nice to meet you Atlas, I'm called Roulette." She said, wondering why it was that the little girl who had seem so shy moments ago was now willing to walk up and comfort a guy who could kill things and make his skin glowing purple. "What's happenin?" She asked, sounding kind of bored. "Didn mean to offend ya, if that's what happen."
