Hearing the sassy side comment Echo let go of Erin completely and almost shoved him off his feet. "Oi! You talking to me bruv?" He shouted back the smirk on his face showed he wasn't anywhere near as serious as it sounded but he figured messing with people today was a good idea
Erin, after regaining balance, tackled Echo to the ground and their daily fight, which in their case, was hardly ever a fight, had begun.
"Hey Shafer," Ethan called out with a chuckle (they know each other right?)
"I'm gonna cut off your air!" Echo, the bigger of the two on the ground fighting, called out as he had Erin in a rear naked choke "now cough up the money you little sh**." He said as he lightened up enough for him to nerely catch his breath before tightening again

Shafer flinched a bit when Echo yelled at him but managed to pull himself together quickly enough. He forced another wide grin across his features and let his gaze flick to Erin, Ethan, the fight, and then back to Ethan when he started talking at him. "Ahh. Hi. Ethan," he stumbled over his words a bit as he scurried over to the boy and took a spot right next to him to watch the scuffle. Honestly, if a police officer strolled by right about now, they'd all get shot. Or tazed. Something. "Your family's weird," he informed him in a delicate voice, like his was any better.

All he could do was nod and agree, "I've figured." He laughed lightly as he looked down on the two down on the ground.
Echo let him go as he saw the sight of the 20$ bill hit the ground about a foot away from him. "You still owe me five." He stated as he got up from the ground after grabbing the bill
"Whatever, as*****" Erin responded as he got up and rubbed his now reddened and sore neck. "Hey shafer" he said quietly as he felt embarrased and hated the thought of it.
"Anything going on?" Ethan asked curiously, hoping for even the slightest bit if action

Shafer smirked, looking way too amused by the situation as he stared on and let the situation play out in front of him. On a less playful note, if anyone called the cops on a group of native kids hanging out (and fighting) in front of a Denny's, they'd all be royally f---ed. But that wasn't on the boy's mind at the moment. He was too preoccupied with the show. And then one of the cast members looked right at him and said his name. "Hi, Erin," he responded dreamily, as if he couldn't quite believe it. "No, nothing's happening. Krykitty's got Reylin over at the apartment so I had to leave because that guy gives me weird vibes. Don't like him. Remember him, Echo? Do you remember Reylin?"

Echo nodded in response as he shoved the 20 into his pants pocket. "Hard to forget an ugly face like that, ain't it?" He replied with a chuckle "I swear if I had a shot at that guy.." he trailed and shook the thought from his head.
Erin and Ethan both stood there awkwardly hearing about Reylin. Everyone who knew Echo and Reylin knew it was best to stay out of it. The two both figured they'd not get involved with that drama as they were still under his command more or less and weren't really sure what to do with the situation. "So where exactly were you headed?" Erin spat out to change the topic
Echo noticed the change but merely shrugged it off knowing it probably was a good idea to stray away from that ordeal

Alice could almost feel the presence of someone behind her, however she reacted to slowly and this was her punishment for it. She nearly screamed when she felt a hand brush over her mouth and then applied pressure to keep her silent. Alice would try to possibly bite his hand but she couldn't get her mouth open enough to do that. The only other option was to probably lick his hand, but she had not clue where that had been. Alice was assuming he would be harsh, maybe knock her unconscious, but he merely pulled Alice into him and tried to make an agreement. Alice wasn't going to agree on anything he had to do or say, he could be one of them, one of the beasts that is part of this mess. So instead of Shaking her head yes, or no, Alice did nothing but glare, even if he was behind her.

Erin huffed at her silence, he really wanted this to just be over but he knew it was far from done. Instead of saying anything he started pulling her backwards towards the entrance they came through figuring it was a bad idea to just bring her out in the open he looked at her and wondered if there was another exit to these tunnels but knew he wouldn't get a response out of her. "If you help me this can be over faster for the two of us." He mentioned calmly as if trying to befriend her or to keep her calm at the least

Alice felt a growl wanting to emerge from the back of her throat. With his hand on her mouth, she couldn't really say what she wanted to, but if it was enough to get his attention, it would have to do. She mumbled something unintelligible from behind his hand, although it was not quiet, it did sound like she was trying to speak, which Alice was.
{Sorry, short post, go to go to class idk when}

Erin, without realizing he still had his hand over her mouth, looked back at her, "what was that?" He asked quietly before finally noticing he had his hand over her mouth. He quickly took his hand away but still holding her close to him to make sure she couldn't escape. He figured even if she did he would easily catch her again if needed but he decided that struggle wasn't worth the effort at this point

No worries, wasn't nearly as long as i made you wait! And I can start.)
Astral (goes by Astro) was sitting around on a park bench. He kept his hands in his jacket pockets as the weather wasn't the nicest on this day. He looked down at his feet then around in hopes of someone he knew would pop up. He was feeling quite lonely but wouldn't complain about the peace and quiet. (Short start post sorry)

Alice took in a deep breath of air when he removed his hand. Although she could breathe through her nose, his hand was right underneath her nose and made air hard to take in. She turned her head as if trying to face her captor, "What exactly is it that you're trying to make easier? My death? Because I assure you that killing someone remains on your concious, and so help me God you will regret killing me." Alice half expected the man to cover her mouth again mid sentence, but was pleasantly surprised to find herself wrong.

"I'm not here to kill you, god if I was I don't even think I'd be able to go through with it." Erin answered politely "lets just say you are important to my people" he said quietly "and we need to get you out of here or you might genuinly be killed. " he said as a lie of sorts to hopefully earn her trust. He really wanted to just get home to his brother and make sure things were okay and they weren't found out during the invasion.

( so this post is made under two assumptions - 1, Maria and Astro have been paired together. 2, they haven't interacted much yet. if you want to change either of those, let me know and I'll edit this!
also, it's quite long. most of it is quick backstory, but I found it relevant. don't feel as though you have to match this at all, the posts after this will probably be a lot shorter. )
Maria's old companion had died under mysterious circumstances. Every human doctor, lawyer and judge on the case had tried to pin on her, but as she hadn't died of blood loss but a heart attack, there had been nothing for them to do but let her drain him of blood as assign her someone new. She'd been given to a man known as Astral, one of the higher ranking humans around here, and not long after three resistance leaders had approached her with an offer. Spy on him, and you live out your centuries in luxury. Maria's distaste for the human race had made it an easy decision.
She hadn't interacted much with him yet. The blood she'd taken from Hayley, her former companion, was supposed to last her for as long as it took to find a new partner, and it had, so they'd only really spoken on the court date when they'd been paired together. She had a few more days before she'd needed to feed, a few days of rest before she'd become yet another's slave, doing everything she was asked to in exchange for just enough food to survive.
She found him in the park. She'd known that he'd be there, of course, she wasn't useless at her new job, and she was there for a reason. To gain his trust. Smiling, she walked up to him, looking a little surprised. "Hi!" she greeted brightly. "I didn't think I'd be seeing you for another few days still."

(I feel it works really well. And also, I feel he should give her more freedom and almost have her trust and feel like he's not such a bad person? And get the factor of trust and companionship? How does that sound?)
Astro looked up at her in surprise, he hadn't expected to see her either. He took his hands out of his pockets and stood to greet her, "I don't think we've had a proper introduction aside from the court dates." He said and stuck out a hand, "my name's Astral. But I usually go bt Astro but feel free to call me whatever works for you" he said and gave a genuine smile to show he wasn't so rude as he was known to be at some times.

"important to your people?" Alice asked, obviously confused. He must be part of the invasion of mythical beings, and if that was the case, she wanted no part in that kingdom of heathens of monsters. Well, whatever he planned to do, it must be better than death. Most things anyway. She can think of some things that she would find worse than death. "This makes no sense. None at all. How do you even know about my existence? And these...wolves and elves and whatever else is out there...how do they know about this place?"

"Believe me I wish I could explain this to you and get you to understand, and I will. But here is not the place." He said sternly hoping to get out of the tunnels and back to his people and home. He opened the hatch slightly, keeping her pulled in close by his side. "If you can get us out of here unnoticed I'll explain everything he moment we're safe and sound, if that's okay with you." He said in the nicest tone of voice he could pull off

( yeah, that sounds good to me! )
Maria's smile grew into a friendly one, nodding. "Nice to meet you, outside of the courtroom that is. I'm Maria," she replied, shaking his hand firmly. She figured that she might as well be nice. After all, in just a few days she'd be at his beck and call. The more he liked her, the more freedom she'd have. And, even if he didn't like her, the more she liked him, the more bearable her life would be. She could force that.

"My pleasure, Maria. Would you like to get some food or a beverage?" He asked politely "we could take some time to sit down and talk, figure eachother out you know?" Astro said hoping to befriend her as much as he could before the whole thing of her doing as he pleased would start. He felt as if she should get as much freedom as she could before it all begun. He hated the idea but figured it could be useful to him in the near future

Maria nodded. "Sure, yeah. That sounds good." She liked being asked things. Having lived before the war, she remembered what it was like to decide things for herself, and she missed it. That Astro was asking now bode well for later, when he wouldn't have to. She could only hope it would last. "Did you have anywhere in mind?"

"Well it depends, what are you in the mood for?" He asked curiously with a sly smirk. He figured asking her to get some food or drink would be a good idea. He really did need to get to know her to be sure their friendship would be a good one. He wasn't really sure exactly where he would take her but had some good places in mind.

Alice had to grudgingly admit that he was more polite than she expected him to be. Besides kidnapping her, that wasn't very proper etiquette. But he hadn't threatened to hurt her yet, and she had no choice but to do as he says really. "Fine. Only because I have no other option." She grumbled before shuffling to turn the two of them around in the tight space. Alice walked forward, then turned a few times before getting to the hatch that she used to get in here in the first place.

"Thank you" he said with a nod before they made their way to the hatch. He made his way up to ground level keeping her in arms reach. "This way" he said as he took a hard look around before beginning move again. It was going to be quite the trek before they were where they needed to be so he kept at a quick pace. "I'm sorry again for doing this" he mentioned once more in a more awkward fashion than those times beforehand

Alice looked down at the ground and then turned to look at the castle she had lived in all her life. There were certainly sounds of war, and it hurt to look back. She didn't even know why she did. "I guess there is nothing I can do about it." She said though this time in a more saddened tone. Knowing that she may never see her home again, her family again, crushed her on the inside. And to think, no, to know that, her last glimpse of home was this, was equally tormenting.

Erin made his way in silence. He figured hearing his voice wouldn't make things any better. As the two had got back to his people he was relieved to see his little brother Ethan had made it back safe and sound. As soon as the two made eye contact Ethan had begun sorinting over to meet up with his older.
"You did it!" Ethan exclaimed as he stopped to look at Alice. "So this is what she looks like...." his voice drifted as he took in her looks and everything else that defined her
"Yes, I did." Erin answered his voice seeming dull. He really didn't want to do it but if it helped him and his little brother he would.

Alice crossed her arms, but not in a way that was rude. She crossed her arms tightly in way that seemed like she was cold or uncomfortable. Which she now felt thanks to him. She kept her facial featured relaxed, sullen almost. Alice wanted to appear delicate, so if they underestimate her, she could use that to her advantage. His friend or sibling or whoever he was, his comment made her wonder. What was he expecting her to look like.

"I thought she'd be prettier." Ethan said as a snarky side comment. But that was just his way of trying to be funny.
Erin immediately gave him a hit on the side of his head "cut it out. She may not be one of us but she's still alive and has feelings you little brat" he said sternly as he began to walk again pulling Alice with him. "I believe you're staying here." He said as he approached what looked to be an okd abandoned house of sorts which was still in somewhat good shape. He opened the door an walked in and sure enough his leader was waiting. "I was beggining to worry, Erin." He said in a rude manner
"Sorry, I didn't know my way around and had to convince your favourite person here how to get me out" he answered quickly
"Well then, you can stay and keep watch I suppose since the two of you seem like you're getting long exquisitely" Erins leader then said as he made his way towards the exit
"You've gotta be kidding me." Was all he said as an answer

Alice opened her mouth to give back a rude remark of her own. However when the man was hit on the head she smirked. He deserved it. He had no right to speak to her in that way. She was still a princess, and deserved respect. However, when she was brought inside the...house...she immediately decided that being a princess was no longer fun or interesting. Not when she has been kidnapped and brought to what could be a house of horrors. When the man left and she left alone with her captor, she didn't look at him, she didn't want to see him. And quite frankly, Alice has not yet. She hasn't seen his face due to the darkness. And she refused to change that now. "What? Am I more trouble than you expected? Well excuse me for being born." Alice said in an irritable fashion.
