Shikaramu perched himself on one of the low height walls, legs crossed in a childlike fashion to match the look of childlike glee drawn across his face, most people his age would find it odd and almost impossible to think that anyone could sit in front of one of the puppet shows meant for children and be this entertained but Shikaramu was loving it. But unlike the rest of the children he was cheering on the big bad wolf, who in truth had been screwed over by the malicious old grandmother “Just kill her already.” He moaned to himself, his strange protest near the children caused adults to look in his direction with glares and hate filled glances. It made no sense to him why the wolf would go to so much effort to hint to the obviously mentally challenged girl in red. “She wears the same thing all the time, what the hell, does she even wash it?” The teen werewolf shouted yet another quip at the doll, his spite for it growing increasingly verbal after each one of her dumb remarks. “Of course the teeth are so big, it’s a god damn wolf. Do you want to know what else is really big on a wolf?” A smile once again crossed his face as he was about to say the unthinkable in front of a gaggle of toddlers, “All the better for f-“ but before he could utter the word that would kill their innocence forever, a stone impacted his stomach and sent him falling off the wall onto the grassy knoll on the other side and rolling a small distance down the hill.
“Crappy show anyway.” The now sour faced Shikaramu muttered as he brushed himself off after hauling himself lazily back onto his feet. He had hoped to pass by the show and take a few jewels from parents for ‘services’ five finger pickpocketing services but had earned nothing after being distracted. Realising now all eyes would be on him if he went back up the hill, Shikaramu gave up and made his way a little further into the town, hoping for some shmuck to fall for one of his rouses and pay for his meals for the day. It was a warm afternoon on the weekend, it was the perfect time to find some office worker with no idea of the outside world and a bundle of money to spend, “Maybe I should just do it like the wolf and break into someone’s house.” He questioned as his foot went from grass to pavement, if he were to find his mark, the main market street would be the best but most of the shop keepers knew he was trouble by now, so keeping out of their view was paramount.
