Artemis wound his way around the crowd, not really looking at anybody. Along with the top hat he was also sporting a black dress bow, one that he had acquired the day before. The fox took up a seat next to Alice, nodding a hello and giving a half hearted smile.

Turning his attention to Sweet, he listened and waited for the rest of her words.

// sorry this is so bad!! I've had waaay too much caffeine

The summer sun beat down on the fox as he climbed the small boulders. His movements were graceful, sure of each paw step he placed. Artemis looked down when he reached the top, a breeze tugging gently on his fur. Arty thought about jumping off the edge of the boulder. He wondered back to that day, so long ago, when he had been flung off the edge of a cliff by extremely unhappy people. Being a conman definitely had it's downfalls.

He remembered how he had wished so strongly in those brief seconds that he had been a bird. Or, at the very least, sprout wings so he could fly. Those brief seconds suddenly seemed to stretch out and he had felt pain lace through his body.

The change had been swift, Arty's wiry frame shifting into a bird. He had opened and flapped his wings at the right moment, flying away from his death. The goons made the mistake of not staying to see if the job had been done.

Artemis was snapped back to the present as a sudden gust of wind almost made him take a nose dive off the edge. A crooked grin spread across his face as he braced himself. Even nature wants me to jump. Shrugging, the fox took a deep breath and with eyes wide open, fell forward off the edge.

"Does he?" asked Artemis, voice carrying a hint of scorn as he stood beside the two. He had been watching for a while now but with a detached interest, not really caring for children or sweet things in general. That didn't stop the tendril of worry though, if that kid fell and seriously hurt himself his parents would have the three for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Tail flicking, the fox stood tense, waiting at a moment's notice to leap and change into a different animal if needed.

Artemis smiled to himself, for the moment genuinely enjoying everyone's company. He wondered if he himself could sing, he hadn't tried for a long time. Mostly he hummed on strolls through the woods, ranging from mournful tunes to hopeful.

"Since Beck guessed correctly, he's supposed to go next." Arty replied in answer to Chester's question.

Artemis was feeling pretty..helpful? Was that the word? The list wasn't very long and the available names were being quickly taken. "I'll take the Sanctum."

Artemis stopped at the border, his eyes taking in the place. He had never been here before, he was pretty sure. The shape shifter had been to many places in his life but there were still so many unknown to him. This was the first time Arty had volunteered for business on behalf of Blizzardclan and he was determined to do his best. The job was to deliver the invites which was simple enough.

"Yo, you're all invited to a blind dating thing Blizzardclan is hosting!" here paused, thinking through his next words carefully.

"Come one, come all! I hope to see you guys there."

CAN'T FEEL MY FACE // BLIND DATE SIGN UPS

Artemis's grin grew as he free fell. The wind whipped through his fur and as the ground came closer he was quite sure he hadn't felt this alive in a long time. Same as the last time, the shapeshifter's instincts kicked into overdrive and he felt the change course through him.

A bird. He flapped his wings and felt the wind push back against him, helping him rise up and soar.

Arty flew a lap around the small clearing before settling into a branch unknowingly near Alice. He peered down, checking out the new body. Raven. Seemed appropriate somehow.
