Since getting here was free, other than taking up some time out of her day to be there - and since it took seconds to teleport to Paris - Evey went there as often as she could. She'd heard that the area wouldn't be here forever, so she'd rather see it as much as she could before it disappeared possibly forever. The Seine River was beautiful at night, so she had stayed the day one the river in one of it's cruises and shopping. Although, she wasn't rich anymore so shopping was rather hard. She did manage to get a few keychains though. She was surprised. Assuming that there was no one living in Paris anymore, there were certainly a lot of shops and cruises along the Seine. Artisans with pop-up shops, mostly, it seemed. And there had to of been multiple travel companies that still existed for the cruises to be running. But how did they even get the ships up and running? It was a mystery. Evey wondered what would happen to them all once everything was over. She looked at the keychains attached to her lanyard that had a little Eiffel Tower on each, both stylized to the artist's drawing style. They were pretty, one with gold glitter in it, the other with hints of silver painted into the keychain. She supposed she was waiting for something exciting to happen. At night in the City of Love, something exciting was bound to happen, wasn't it? She was about to give up and go home when someone approached her. They held a large sketchpad and some paints and pencils. He spoke in an accent it seemed, but she very well understood what he was saying.
"Would you like me to paint you on this beautiful night, my lovely lady?" he asked. Evey's hands clasped together and she nodded, "That would be amazing! Thank you!"

He had never been to Paris. He was far too poor to ever have even considered it. His dead girlfriend has mentioned it once, when they were snuggled up in bed one night flipping through channels. Maybe it had been a soap opera or maybe just a commercial about some overpriced, scented toilet water; Sleep couldn't remember. What he did remember, was his girlfriend's expression and the light in her eyes when a warmth suddenly cascaded over her and she sat up, pulling away from his embrace.
She remained seated in the bed, but twisted her torso and suddenly struck a powerful pose as though she had just been possessed by some ancient demon. Sleep, high as a kite at the time, lay there casually, smoking on his cigarette, enjoying the show. His eyes traced over her figure and found her face and wonderous expression as her hands cradled empty air like something out of a Shakespearean play and she exclaimed with all the truth in the universe...
"Oh, how I would just LOVE, to go to Parris... Parrieee, Monswaaaa... Moddameeee..."
As she said these last few words, shimming her shoulders and winking at him for emphasis of each word, it reminded him of something he had heard Gomez and Morticia Addams saying and Sleep couldn't contain his laughter as the commercial on tv ended and sure enough, Addams Family Values was what they had been watching all along.
That night ended in a smokey, drug-laced trance and the true details were all but lost in the abyss of his memories now. The one thing he did remember though, and worked hard to try and never forget, was her expression... and how her greenish brown eyes had lit up at the thought of one day venturing to Paris.
-- These memories tormented Sleep now, all these years later, as he now found himself in the very place she had wanted to go, alone...
He pulled another drag at the cigarette between his lips, his eyes narrowed, watching the girl closely. He had been for some time now, stalking her, watching her every move. In a way, she reminded him of his long dead girlfriend and Sleep wondered, studying this stranger's face, if this is what his girlfriend might've looked like, had she made it this far... had she lived to be here? He couldn't know and just the thought of it only fueled his undying depression. He refocused his mind on the girl.
It wasn't that he was a creeper, no. He could care little about her, in all honesty. He had simply caught a glimpse of the little keychain she was carrying, the one with gold glitter in it. The way the lights seemed to dance upon its surface and make it shimmer and shine; Sleep could hardly contain himself. But, he did, knowing he needed to wait for the right moment to move in and try to steal it.
He had lost contact, at least momentarily, with his soldier friend named Atlas, whom he had met during the tutorial. Now he found himself here in Parris of all places, preparing to rob some poor girl next to this big, beautiful river. As he once again got lost in his own thoughts, Sleep suddenly snapped out of it as he noticed the girl looked like she was preparing to get up and leave, as though she had grown bored of the evening's affairs.
"Shit..." Sleep thought, biting at his lip as he mumbled the word audibly under his breath.
Then, a stroke of luck, as some sort of street hustler suddenly wandered up and offered to paint her. Sleep rolled his eyes, the tip of his right index finger twitching instinctively as thought about pressing down on the nozzle of one of his spray paint cans. He was a true artist... this guy, was just trying to take advantage of this sweet girl and would probably paint up some shoddy caricature of her in five minutes and then try and charge her an arm and a leg for it.
"Bleh... whatever," Sleep chewed at his lip again.
He didn't care, did he? No, he was just going to rush in and snatch that damn keychain and never look back. Hell, he should be thanking this street artist, for providing this perfect moment of distraction! Yeah, that was it... be thankful, be grateful, this is an opportunity... or so the suicide therapists always used to tell him. One more drag, one more moment of watching to make sure, and then he made his move.
Sleep got up from the bench he had been seated on, flicked his cigarette into the river, stuffed his hands into the pockets of his ripped black jeans, and began strolling toward the girl and her newly found painter friend. He cast his gaze toward the river, as not to arouse suspicion as he approached them. Once he was within about five feet, he pulled his BIC lighter from his pocket, allowing it to slip from his grasp and fumble onto the ground nearby the girl.
Doing his best acting job, he tried to paint a surprised, dumbfounded look on his own face, as if to say "Oh how clumsy of me!" without words. He then moved in casually to retrieve his fallen lighter, knelt down to one knee right near the girl to reach and grab it and as he got hold of it and began to stand, his eyes ascended and looked into hers for but a brief moment, noting their beautiful bluish green, before his focus turned back to the keychain and he reached out quickly, snatching at it and then bolting off down the sidewalk!
He had no idea what his next move was, or where he was running to, but damn was he running!

She imagined the painting would be beautiful; the river in the background, shops on the other side of it, and in the distance she remembered seeing the Eiffel Tower that should have ended up over her left shoulder. What a beautiful picture it would be - the first one of her painted in this new world as well. She talked with the artist as he worked, asking him how he was getting along with the new world change. He mentioned getting along just fine by his artwork still. He was a traveler, apparently. Had traveled to many different countries before the world changed; studied and practiced many different mediums before settling on painting. Now, he painted people and nature, selling his paintings. She got nervous. Was this not going to be free? Well, he was merely on the street, so it couldn't cost that much, right? She didn't have many points to spare, especially when she was just starting off. Spending that money on the keychains was really all she could afford. Maybe it hadn't been the best idea to accept the painting, but she was indeed impulsive still. Especially when it came to spending money - that she now didn't have.
It only took a few minutes, and the artist was about to reveal the painting to her when she heard a sharp clink near her. She looked down to see a man not much older than she reaching for a lighter she could only assume he had dropped. She turned back to the artist, smiling brightly at the painting he was showing her. It wasn't quite as she had envisioned it, but it was still very pretty. The man held out his hand, shaking it up and down a little. "Now you pay me for it." Evey stood, holding onto her lanya- wait. She checked around her, but her lanyard was gone.
She looked around, panicked, only to see the same person running for no particular reason. 'Did he-' She took off, the artist yelling angrily after her. She yelled over her shoulder, "Sorry, I don't have any money!" She was glad she wore comfortable flats today - running in heels would not be a good time at all. "Hey, stop!" Evey yelled now at the man as she followed him as fast as she could.

He heard the girl calling after him to stop, but Sleep couldn't bring himself to do it. His heart was pounding in his chest and he could literally feel how out of shape he was. All that smoking was gunna' do him in, surely. But not now, not yet! He had just snatched this...
He shot a glance downward to take a look at what the hell he had just snatched from that girl, only to discover the golden, sparkling, super expensive item he thought he had swiped, was nothing more than a keychain of the Eiffel Tower. As he was already mentally preparing to slow down, stop, turn around and give the poor girl back her lanyard, he looked up instead to see a street lamp pole dead ahead, and ran smack dab into it.
DONG!!!
The sound echoed out and Sleep's teeth chattered, before he fell straight back onto his ass and then lay sprawled out on the sidewalk, staring up at the stars... and boy were there a lot of them... both in the night sky above and dancing around his head.
"Ugghhh..." he groaned, dazed and motionless.

She thought she might lose the man. Why did he even steal her lanyard? Maybe he thought she lived around here and could break into her apartment? But then again, who would permanently live in a city that would disappear? She put those thoughts aside and focused on running. Because of all her late night anime marathons, she wasn't quite used to running very far, and her stats weren't high enough to make up for it either, if that was how they even worked. They definitely came into play on the battlefield, but she wasn't sure how they affected every day life. She focused on the man's back, weaving between people when she needed to and avoid an accident. But the man came to a sudden stop with a loud clanging noise. Evey looked beyond him to see that he'd run into a light pole. Poor thing. Evey didn't stop until she was closer, to which she slowed to pause just a few feet away from him. She looked at his face, tried to make sure he was still breathing. He was making noise at least so she assumed he was still alive. But he wasn't moving, which concerned her. She frowned, wondering who she could even call in this new world. Were there emergency services? There had to be, somehow. Potions, she supposed - but she didn't have any on her.
She sighed a little, regretting having sympathy for someone who just stole from her. "Hey, are you okay?" She leaned over the man, waving a hand over his head slowly and trying to examine him for any injuries like a broken skull. Medicine was also not her specialty, but she knew what humans should look like when their heads weren't bashed in. She hoped the worst he had may have been a concussion.
