"Of course." Stelle stayed by Edgar, waiting to be prompted or spoken to. She quietly observed the other humans, some of whom subtly stared back.

It had been planned for when the Veil thinned. Stelle embraced Acer, bidding him goodbye.
She was off to Weselton, to finally meet others face to face. She had a suitcase of her things, and a costume for a masquerade ball that she was invited to on behalf of the Duke.
The other case had gifts for the Duke, to show her gratitude. Books of Harmonian tales, maps, gemstones...
She hoped to make a good impression as she went through the doors, to enter the waking world for the first time.

It was a more complex mission, but Aurora Lark III didn't just serve Trolls.
However, this planet, Pandora... It was a unique challenge in danger levels.
A respiratory illness was detected and determined dangerous, so the Aurora Lark III's scientists and doctors crafted vaccines. It was just getting the vaccines into the patients...
Bandits rarely came looking for anything other than a fight. Capturing them would be dangerous and unethical.
So the safest bet now... Darting them, as well as working on food-based vaccines.
If only there was a local doctor who could give insight before the powderkeg blew...
Capell Legato aimed his air rifle at a few Bandits that were carrying on in their usual way. It was then he noticed they were *after something*.
"It's..." Stelle was astounded, "It's incredible..." She had her luggage, and was taken by servants to get set up, dressed, and ready for the ball properly.
She would reappear not long after, dressed in a Pierrot costume. It was pristine white with black accents, her makeup in the classic style. If anything, Stelle appeared more as a duitiful servant versus a dignitary.

"Acer is my, her adoptive Lusus." Rennoh suddenly quieted as he heard a twig snap.
Palmia was on guard, her deer growling before charging off.
There was a loud commotion: loud honks, snarling, and screaming. Rennoh was frozen in place, beforeseeing Palmia return, purple and blue blood on her antlers.
"Sorry about that. My herd are chasing them. Where? To where they deserve."
"Palmia, you are hurt..." Rennoh pulled out a clean cloth and antiseptic, and Palmia let him treat a gash on her shoulder. Bronze blood stained the fabric.
Palmia held the cloth, glancing to Soldan, "The rules of 'Hemospectrum' mean nothing here, no matter what those Poachers believe. You. Which world are you from?"

Stelle had entrusted her friend to check on her brother, a Troll living on Harmonus.
Harmonus' main metropolis was a dizzying whirlwind of color and co-existence, fed by many worlds and universes with Trolls.
The train would take Soldan to a more rural place, and the manner of folks on the train went from enthusiastic tourists and locals on daily errands to farmers and sorts that seemed... ...Shady.
Subdued Subjuggalos, other Highbloods that seemed to be ready to hunt, exchanging money with a farmer to "Cull the Wilderwood."
He had to think fast... Capell aimed his rifle for one of the more rambunctious bandits, nailing a shot right on the buttock.
"OW BEEEEEESS!!!!" the Bandit shrieked
"KILL BEES HONEY FOR MEEEE! OW OW OWWW BOLD BASTARD"
"SLAP DEATH SPLATTER BACK"
Capell kept shooting vaccines, making the bandits panic and then scream about... ...The color of the fletchings in the darts and fighting.'
"I WANT THE PINK PRETTY ONE"
"HER NAMES COTTON CANDY"

"...It's the cultural nature of Alternia. The Higher Blood Castes subjugate and kill "mutant" or Lowbloods, for sport and to..." Stelle cringed, "Blood as paint. It's gruesome, largely illegal on Harmous. However Alternia has been sending Poachers for rare blood colors. If I appear, I'm immediately a target. It's why I was raised here."
The Lone Moon was lustrous in its ocean of sky. Stelle stood at a long pool of still water, gazing into the deep blue. Gilded fish swam about, some bobbing up at the surface.
The Pierrot Troll picked up an ivory dish, laden with pellets. She tossed pellets to the water, watching as the lazy fish sprang to life.
It was lonely here. Were there Dreamers out to see her?
