Ward 17 had never been peaceful especially after the sun went down. This was by now common knowledge, a fight breaking out, minor dust ups, people going missing, shops getting destroyed and smell of iron, most folks won't even blink an eye at these anymore.
Seth's POV:
Today was not going great for Seth.
A thrill chase on pink cycle, body slammed by a road roller, canoeing through a multiverse drain pipe, getting a brand new baby soft body which was same as his old one at least in appearances and now he was laying bum ass naked in a crater on middle of the road, god knows where.
Not going great but was certainly not boring, something Seth felt quite proud of so he gave into the underlying exhaustion of his new body and dozed off.

I have had my fair share of abrupt amusing wake ups. Getting choked by younger sisters, body slammed by friends and being plunged in the pool during winter by cousins.
In all my experience I had never had someone licking my thighs.. YES SOMEONE WAS LICKING MY perfect pear shaped THIGS.
I was about to spiral down a rabbit hole that I dug in some past life to distract myself when the man decided he had enough of taste and now wanted the whole package. He sunk the complete of his lower jaw in my thigh like it was some cheap ass kfc bucket.
I had no special 5 secret seasoning going on for me but he seems to have different views on it.
......
Getting chewed on was no fun, at least for me.
If not for being able to feel pain I would be screaming or/and running away, go complete mob psycho on this guy if this was an anime.
Sadly it is not. //yet!
So ignoring the man I looked around. I saw buildings i haven't seen before, streets that look different orchestrated and at the corner I saw another man watching out like a scout .
He was probably this chihuahua's partner waiting for him.

Red(Ghoul 1)pov:
I have had my fair share of humans, some on the verge of death barely said anything, others more unfortunate ones screamed, cried, sprinted gasping for few extra breaths before being hunted and consumed.
Few stupid but brave souls decided to fight, using anything from pipes, stones to bricks.
Heck I even once saw college kid trying to hold his own by a mechanical pencil... A fucking pencil.. hu as if ordinary steel and aluminum could harm a ghoul especially that crazy women.
Her aura was like a toddler on acid he had seen that type of energy before. It comes from those crazy ones which hunt for the fun of it.
A normal ghoul can live off a adult human for 2-3 months easy, hell if they store the meat well and drink enough coffee in between, 5 months is doable without any withdrawals or breakouts.
I knows this intimately cause I survived 6 while hiding from those damn hypocrite cheating CCG cockroach.
Food for thought.
On the topic of food this man barely uttered any sound on being chewed on. This was by far the weirdest one I had seen bar none.
The snack.. man was still alive, how red had no idea.
This sweet biscuit had summersaulted out of God knows where, embedded himself like a protester in the middle of the road refusing to budge.
He didn't show any pain but red could feel sadness and sorrow from his eyes, much like a short dumb blonde guy with cat whiskers and a fox in his belly .
I wanted to sing to him to ease his sorrows "I know how you feel inside, I've been there before Something is changing inside you And don't you know? Don't you cry tonight".
.........
Seth pov:
Seth was unable to feel anything but being looked like he was some strange biscuit gone bad, hurts.
"This day is turning into an episode of hot ones that I didn't sigh up for, anymore drama and I'll turn into a meme".
Emotionally spent and unable to feel his body Seth's attention turns inwards. Apart from feeling no pain and losing his sense of touch all his other senses had been enhanced to the extreme.
"This situation is oddly similar to when I went to the sea for the first time ... seems fishy."
He doesn't know exactly what trade off this was or when he made such an exchange but he could feel, it was more of a promise than a trade.
A somewhat temporary promise between him and the world, like a vow chaining both.
