Skaldi shrugged off the apology. Honestly, the more she interacted with people, the more she got used to those kinds of questions. It was inevitable, with her being a kid. Her kind aged slowly, so she'd have to deal with the questioning until she reached adulthood, whenever that would be. "I live in the woods too. Maybe we will see each other again sometime." She reached for her discarded beanie and carefully put it back on, tucking in her ears as she did so. "Be safe, Ash."
If Milo was offended by the jab at his intelligence, it didn't show. "So... You're homeless. Makes sense why you're hanging around a place like this. It's hot out." He noted with an emotionally flat tone. He'd been on the streets once, so it was harder for him to muster sympathy over it.

"Only you can believe all is lost but I know with time, nothing is lost." (OOC)
"Not everyone can step the boundaries of time like you." Sally smiled and stood up, "Don't worry, I won't. That would be very rude of me to do." She said softly before walking to the edge of the alleyway, "So, where too?" She asked

Karma stood up a little to get a better view of their surroundings, in order to recall what exactly turn to take. At first they were going to say go right, but remembered it was a left they'd need to take. "Left. Go left here. Keep walking until you get to the traffic light."
"Mmm... You could say that." Milo shrugged and stuck his hands in his pockets.

Jack stared at the boy."Give me one reason not to bust you."

"You should do the same Skaldi. If you end up getting shot because they are hunting me, I'd feel responsible" Ash said "But if you ever need help come here. I'll be around and should be able to catch your scent." He added as he started to walk away, shifting once again into a wolf and heading back to his home
(Now what to do with him lol)

"Not everyone can step the boundaries of time like you." Sally nodded and looked around the street before looking up. Slow she walked out of the alleyway going left. Her face shed that she was debating something in her head.

Milo swiftly turned to Jack and stared him down. "Bust me for what?" He held out his hands to the side, palm up, as though he weren't understanding.
"I can protect myself." Skaldi softly called out to Ash's retreating form. She'd never been shot, but that was because she was extremely careful while traveling in the woods. Especially whenever the human hunters lurked. She had no doubt the hunters would get worse, now that they were onto Ash, and that worried her. Not only was he in danger, but now she'd have to be more cautious as well.
(I've got other characters free. There's one in particular that would be fun for him to interact with, but she's part of a duo, and the other character belongs to someone else. lol)

"Definitely not how I intended to spend the rest of my day..." They muttered.

Hmm anyway to get them to split for a bit? It's okay if you can't. I was planning on having Ash said a gas station for food or something like that)

Ash had gotten back to his home and realized he had nothing left to eat except for a few old bones and empty packages of food he had stolen from various gas stations. He never happened anyone unless he absolutely had to, which almost always happened to hunters. Since he usually went in as a wolf the clerics usually freaked out and got behind the registers praying that they wouldn't get attacked by him. That most likely played into the bounty on his head but he could honestly care less if it meant he would survive. He vaguely wondered if Skaldi had enough to eat as well. Even though he didn't have the faintest clue if they actually ate meat he figured it wouldn't hurt to get some things for the both of them. He felt kinda bad that such a young girl had to live alone in the forest. "Guess it's time to make a stop in town" he muttered to himself as he started walking back into town once again hoping that there weren't anymore people actually looking for him

Freak flew over the city, searching for anyone that might be in need of help, when he spotted a familiar figure down below. Duncan... What was he up to? The light purple hood of his hoodie was pulled over his head and his hands were burrowed deep into his pockets. It appeared he was trying hard not to be noticed, but he stuck out like a big purple thumb. The dummy. Should I see what he's doing? Freak thought.
If you go down there, you'll just scare him. Let me handle it. Even if he's doing something bad, he believes he's too intimidating for me to tell on him. Dex responded.
Freakazoid was understandably reluctant to do that. What if Duncan had a gun or something? Was he going to rob that store he was walking to? After a brief argument, during of which the little sparking ball of light bounced around in the sky, he flew down and landed behind some nearby buildings. Seconds later, a small, nerdy looking boy with glasses timidly stepped out and slowly started in the same path as his older brother.

Ashton had reached the edge of town by this point and proceeded to go to the nearest gas station. It would be best if he stayed out of the inner city at any time of day no matter what form he was in since there was no way to hide all the fur he had. Plus the lack of clothing that he had wouldn't help him at all since a pair of torn pants and a bloody t-shirt was all he had as clothing. He really didn't want to have to deal with any police or anybody else for that matter to be honest. He could spot a gas station from where he was and kept heading toward it, staying as close as possible to the woods to try and avoid detection as best as he could, even with his silver fur

"I really don't know why we're doing this... He's probably not planning to do anything worse than buy something he's too young for, and there's nothing we can do about that." Dex murmured beneath his breath. He walked softly, being careful to keep to the shadows and not crunch any leaves or rocks. It was doubtful that Duncan would hear anyway, with the distance between the two of them, but he wasn't taking any chances.
Duncan entered the store a moment later and walked around, still wearing the hoodie over his head. The man behind the register was paying close attention to him in case he tried anything.
"I inferred that I got in without having to use my money. Doesn't mean I didn't just use someone else's money." Milo shot back, growing irritated with the guy.

(Me too! Highschool grad buddies! ^^ I wish ELA was less essays and more stories. I think my creative writing has decreased over the years. ;w; That's why I need to keep it up on here. Or attempt to.) Waro folded the newspaper and laid it on the table. He downed his coffee, and let out a contented breath. "I guess we'll have to. Any stores you like in particular?" --- "Why certainly, kind sir," Zed quickly replied with an attempt at an accent, bowing at his waist and grabbing hold of the handle of the door. He opened it, and the door swung inwards. Lights flickered on in the medium sized room, revealing multiple objects concealed by white sheets. There was about five in total; all of them similar in size, though with some variances of shape. He didn't mind showing these. It was the rooms further in, that he was more protective about. Even Waro hadn't seen those ones. --- (Aw! Thanks Chaos! ^^ Ollie appreciates the sentiment. XD I'll reply or continue with him tomorrow. ^^) --- Pip laughed. "Yeah right! Youah justah smartiepants, tryin' ta covah up ya embarrassment." Her laugh faded quickly and she frowned. "But don'tchya get da wrong ideah. I don't need anybodeh's help. I just pretends I do." At his question, a new idea took shape and she grinned. "Naw. Youah stuck like that fo'ever. That is unless ya find meh some persuasion to change ya back." At the word, 'persuasion', Pip rubbed her fingers together. He had said he hadn't had any on hand, but the way he had been talking, she wouldn't be surprised if he had a lot more. Of course, not being able to change back was a lie, but how was the little hero Karma supposed to know that? (Yeah, creative writing is ignored often!) "I don't think so. Never shopped." She chuckled. "Secluded village, remember?" Though it was clear she didn't really care he had asked, and instead was just using it to tease him for his memory. "Ooh? What's all this?" Isaac asked, stepping inside to immediately approach the closest cover.

Lol ok and sorry for taking so long to reply I just got off work)
Ash was finally close enough to the store that he could leave the forest pretty much undetected. He raced forward to get to the entrance as quick as possible and stopped at the doors. "Looks like I'm lucky today" he thought to himself since the doors were automatic. He remembered the last store he went to had manual doors meaning he had to figure out how to open a door in his wolf form and must have been hilarious to anyone watching. Ash proceeded to walk into the store and immediately went to look for the beef jerky and some trail mix passing by Duncan in the process

Milo narrowed his eyes. "And what does all of this matter to you? Are you museum security? Or just their hall monitor?"
(It's fine ^^ Ash is in wolf form right now, right?)

(^^ How was grad?) (I started reading that book you mentioned. :3)
"You never know what might be in a small village." Waro pushed his chair back and stood. His gaze lingered on Hornet for a few moments, before he turned away. He walked towards the front door, straightening his jacket. --- (You can be creative here, if you want. ^^)
Zed grinned. "Ah, just a few little projects that I haven't been able to fully test out yet." He walked over to one of the sheets and pulled it away, revealing a gleaming burgundy motorcycle. Each vehicle in the room were different colours, put together for a different optimum skill, although all were enhanced compared to the average motorcycle.

"I'm just curious to know what's so important to avoid that you have to waste so much ability just to get in here without using money."Jack answered still level,not even phased by the boy's attempt in mockery.
