Who: Billy Numerous and YOU
What: An army marches on it's stomach
When: Saturday Afternoon April 28
Where: Middle of Downtown Tetha

The Tetha farmers market was a recent event that had started every other Saturday in the middle of town. It was sponsored by the more prominent businesses in the area and proving to be quiet popular among the locals. A fun way to get some fresh foods and handmade trinkets, as well as an excuse to visit downtown and some of the fun little shops located there.

Unfortunately today it seems to be a bit TOO popular.

Red jumpsuit clad tamers dash about hooting and hollering and having a grand time. As the crimson clad swarm descends on the stalls the market is quickly becoming ransacked. But oddly enough...Billy Numerous isn't just taking trinkets and expensive loot. Instead he's leaving those stalls alone in favor of stealing as much food as possible and cramming it into their mouths.

Fruit, vegetables, meats, cookies and cakes and candy bars. All manner of homemade and home grown foods were being ripped into and devoured in the messiest of manners.

And only then did they start to spread to the eateries. More and more Billy's began to appear the more they ate.

And with a thunderous CRASH so too did appear Sinduramon and he too began to gorge.

"Hey wait...I recognize this one."

And a ripple of awareness passed through the Billys till twenty of them were forming a tight circle around them.

"Yeah, this is Jinx's brat!"

"Stupid witch."

"We oughta kidnap her and trap Jinx!"

"Yeah and beat her up!"

"Deaths too good for turncoats!"

Lily's head snapped up and her fear filled wide blue fixed upon the closest Billy as she shook violently. She tried to say something, but her tongue felt heavy and useless and her throat dry and unworkable.

The Billys were laughing cruelly now.

"Lookit! Baby gonna cry?" One laughed.

"Boo hoo hoo!"

"Comere brat!" And two Billy's stepped forward to try and separate them.

Lily gave a terrified squeak and stepped back, which Men seemed to take as a que because he gripped at the girls hair loudly and began shouting at the top of his baby lungs. "NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOO! MINE! MINE! MINE!"

"Argh!" a few of the Billy's clutched at their ears.

"Shut that one up Billy!" shouted one who tried to grab Lily's arm.

The other Billy tried to grab onto Men so they could be pulled apart none-too-gently.

Mens response was to bite down on the attacking Billy, hard, with pointy baby teeth.

Lily's response was to pull Men from her shoulders and hold him tight against her chest. From somewhere that seemed far away, she heard her own voice. "Don't hurt him!"

The Billy who had been bitten hollered and cursed and shook his bitten hand to take the sting out while the other one glared and puffed out his chest.

"Then we'll just have to take both of you!" He aimed a sharp kick at Lily's rear end." Get walking to the lightpost little brat!"

The other Billys started to laugh in amusement at her fear and were pulling scary faces and threatening her with shaking fists and knives.

Lily's eyes began to well up and gave a cry at the abuse, which only seemed to make the angry little baby angrier. Without warning, all the screws holding the many stalls together were suddenly ripped from their wood by some unseen force and began pelting the crowd of Billys harshly.

This caused some panic and confusion among the crowd as hillbillies in red jumpsuits scattered and swarmed, crashing into each other, tripping over one another and falling down covering their vital areas as best they could as they were assaulted mercilessly by the screws of the now collapsing stalls.

Something in Lily's mind told her now would be a good time to run, so she did. Though, Men's shouting of 'Run! Run! Run Lil Lil!' may have helped slightly.

So while the nuts and bolts continued to pepper the Billys violently, Lily made a mad dash, all with Men clapping and smirking.

"Hey get back here!" Hands swiped and missed as the duo darted between thieves and continued to pepper them with lumps of hard metal to chip their teeth and mark their skin. One angered Billy actually threw his boot after her unable to give chase because of how sore he was already from Men's assault.
