ok this is pretty darn late I'm sorry i'll do better when there isn't as much schoolwork xP
This village was larger than the previous one Temptation and Joy had come across. In fact, "town" would be a better word for it. It sat in a wide plain, empty on all sides except for a few scattered trees, fields where farmers grew their crops and raised their animals, and a gurgling river that ran right down the midst of the cluttered mess of houses and cobblestone roads. Peasants and villagers went about their day in a casual bustle, with little to no worry in their lives at the present moment save for the chance their crops might have grown badly over the summer. There was no festival taking place, yet it was almost as busy as the last village because of its larger size and the mass of people wherein. Crossing the grassy plains and following the wide dirt road leading away from the farmers' land and into the town, the two companions joined the little crowds of people going in and out--Temptation cast his cowl back over his head, now that they had returned to civilization. Privately, he was worried the villagers would note the sudden appearance of strangers and give them away should Lord Fear's men come hunting. However, not many people seemed to take notice of the two teenagers--and if they did, it was a mere glance before looking at something more interesting. The travelers found a snug little tavern nestled in some corner near the center of the village. It was large and filled with enough people that Temptation decreed it safe to stop for a meal, and thus they soon found themselves seated at a table in one booth at the side of the spacious room. The roaring bustle, scattered laughter and cheerful chatter drowned out the most of what anyone could have heard of Temptation and Joy's conversation, so they felt safe in talking. "I wonder if they have cheeseburgers here," Temptation says wistfully as he inspects a tattered piece of browned paper in his hand, which the waitress they'd just met had called the "menu". "We're not just here to eat, remember," Joy chides good-naturedly. "We're here to make a plan and think up a disguise for you."

"Right." Temptation muttered. "Something that can cover my face so that none of Lord Fear's men can see me."
Temptation and Joy start brainstorming ideas in their heads. Suddenly, a waiter comes to their table and brings them menus.
"Hello and welcome. Here are the menus and list of specials for today. Can I get you started with drinks?" "Umm... a glass of water should be fine." Temptation says. "Same with me." Joy says as well and the waiter heads off.
Temptation scrolls through the menu. His mouth watered reading the menu items of filet mignon, beef wellington, and lobster ravioli on the menu, which made him forget about cheeseburgers. Later, the waiter came with their two glasses of water and took their order of two lobster raviolis, which sounded delicious. Joy and Temptation were left to themselves for a bit. They looked around the room at the other guests and seeing what they were wearing, hoping to get some inspiration for disguises.
"Oh, I got a disguise for you!" Joy said. "What is it?" "You could disguise yourself as a girl. Wear a nice dress and have a cowl over your head." Joy replied. "I can't dress up as a girl," Temptation replied. "It's... umm... too girly." "I was just joking." Joy says with a little laughter.
Joy thinks for a bit. She takes a glance at her sword for a bit, thinking about who she has battled with. She then notices something at the end of her sword, a few strands of hair from all the beards of the enemies she's trimmed.
"I got an idea!" Joy says. "What is it?" Temptation asks as he takes a sip of his water. "You could just wear a bushy mustache and a beard to cover that scar, and keep your robe on."
Temptation almost spat out his water. "Why? The point was to disguise as someone not part of the organization." "Yeah, I know, but on second thought, looking like one of them can help us get inside the Organization's headquarters."
Temptation thinks about it for a moment. "Good point, and you know what, all the people who rank above me have bushy beards and mustaches, so this might just work. In other words, we need a disguise for you so that they don't recognize you as Joy."
"Right." Temptation muttered. "Something that can cover my face so that none of Lord Fear's men can see me."
