As Duncan heard someone walking behind him, he immediately tensed up, ducked down and shuffled over to the next aisle with his hands in his front pocket. His curly ginger hair stuck out from the hood but he was purposefully trying to keep his face from being seen by anyone. He didn't notice right away that that person was actually a huge wolf, due to his hood being in the way. When he was done on that aisle, he turned to go down a different one... and stopped dead in his tracks. The teen's mouth opened but no sound came out.
Dexter made it to the store a moment later and tried to play it natural, in case his brother asked any questions. He didn't want to make it seem like he'd followed him there. Upon noticing the way Duncan had frozen up, Dex frowned and carefully tiptoed over to see what his brother was so freaked out over. Was it a hero? Villain? Upon seeing the giant canine, Dex went a shade paler and took a step back. What the heck?

"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. "Maybe I just wanted to come here. Maybe I'm hoping to avoid people. Why does it matter to you?" Milo asked, slightly less snappy than before.

Ash simply curled his lips into a snarl as he continued to move towards the beef jerky though to anyone looking at him it would probably look like he was walking towards Dexter. When he got close enough to the jerky he opened his mouth and bit into several of the bags before pulling them off their pegs and backed away, the snarl still on his face as if daring them to try and stop him

"And why do you think I'm 'troubled'?" Milo grunted, putting his hands back into his pockets. He was getting annoyed with so many people trying to 'save' him. First his grandma, and his sister, and now this guy? Did he just give off a bad aura or something? He wanted to know.
Dexter tensed when the wolf appeared to walk toward him, but hesitated when he plainly watched the animal grab several bags of jerky. Maybe it was just hungry? He winced at the snarl and put his hands up, clearly not wanting any trouble from the canine. It seemed so... human. Was it some kind of shapeshifter?
Duncan must have mistook the wolf for approaching himself -- he hadn't noticed Dex behind him -- and pulled out what looked like a mini handgun from his pocket. "S-Stay back!" He stuttered, holding it out in front of him uneasily.
Seeing the gun, Dexter's eyes widened. Well, his brother definitely hadn't been planning a normal trip to the store. But there was no time for that. He crept closer, prepared to knock the gun from his hands if he tried to use it on the wolf. His hands shook and his pulse pounded in his ears. Freak had encountered weapons, and even gotten himself shot a couple of times, but Dexter himself had never been so close to a gun before.

"You're avoiding people in a place you don't want to be."Jack responded."That's not something a person ok with himself would do."

Ash could now smell that there was a gun out in the open and whipped around to face Duncan. Ash opened his mouth to let the jerky fall out of his mouth before he started to growl at the one holding the gun. Why is it that I can't go anywhere without one of these damn hunters being on my ass he asked himself. At this point Ash was ready to spring on Duncan if he so much as moved a muscle. He really did not want to get shot twice in the same day
(i meant to say Duncan not Dexter sorry but I guess we will run with it. Guess thats what you get when you only get 4 hours of sleep lol)

Milo's mouth drew into a fine line and irritation flashed in his eyes. "I'm only avoiding one person. Alright? If you must know." He muttered something about 'her' never thinking to check a place where he never went.
Dexter's eyes flashed cobalt blue for all of a second, and he suddenly lunged at Duncan's back. It startled the older teen so much that the gun was dropped and his younger brother landed on top of his back. 'Go!' he mouthed at Ash, gesturing toward the discarded snacks with his head. Although he disapproved of shoplifting, he felt bad for the hungry wolf and didn't want to see any harm come to him. Dex had always had a soft spot for animals. Even if the animal seemed to have a human mind behind all the fur. (lol it's fine)

Milo's upper lip twitched once. "Because she makes a big fuss about everything? Seems to think I'm in need of help? You two would probably get along, actually." Shaking his head, he sidestepped to another painting and stared up at it. It was a bunch of small dots but it looked like hundreds of tiny spiders to him.

"Not sure I get along with anyone from this time."Jack sighed.He started walking away."The person who painted that didn't want people to look on in disgust."He informed before exiting.

Milo frowned. Did he really look disgusted? What was that about 'time'? "Uh, come again?" He called out at Jack's back, as curiosity was a hard thing for him to ignore.

(^^ 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. (Wonderful! Asked a girl out, she said yes! Great times ahead of me.) (Oh yessss enjoying it?) Her face flushed at his stare, but she said nothing. Instead, she took one last gulp of her drink, and followed quickly after him. If it weren't for him, she likely would have continued on in just one outfit until it fell to rags. But now she had a reason to want to look good. (I have a feeling this is going to turn into something flirty very soon. Hang in there, Waro, you're being a good boy. XD) --- (Yay! ^v^ ) The craftsmenship was remarkable, and the motorbikes looked stylish as all hell. After a moment of staring, Isaac went to place his hand against the seat. However, he remembered the door knob, and held his hand at bay, while casting a sideways glance at Zed, as if for permission.

Milo's eyes narrowed and he closed some of the distance between the two of them. "What do you mean, 'people of this time'?" Did the guy really believe he was from a different time?

(Ooh! Awesome! Sounds fun. :3) (...) (I'm upset that they killed Joost. First chapter, I was like, "Aw, he seems like a nice guy." Then I don't see him until a few chapters later, when he ended up dying. He never was able to grow out his partial moustache. ;w; ) (Inej is now my favourite character. ^^ I can see the resemblance.)
Waro opened the door and stepped out. He glanced at the small shed beside his house, and smiled when he heard the purr of the Silver Lily. She drove out, unmanned, and came to a stop in his driveway. She had made it back once again. Waro walked down the steps, and swung onto his motorbike. He assumed Hornet would bring his other jacket with her to keep warm. (:3) --- Zed chuckled and checked the glass screen in his hand. "It should accept you," he said with a smirk. Might as well have someone as hardy as Isaac test it out. "You can take it out into the other room. I'll open the track." With a couple taps on his screen, something began to shift and rumble outside the door of the small room. In the other, much larger room, great portions of wall had opened up on either side, forming a large circular track.

(Oh, it gets deeper even later. Especially the second book. I'm just glad you like it! ^^) And she had. With it hanging loosely upon her, she came to his side and hopped on as well, then wrapping her arms around his waist. With her legs tight against the bike and arms tight around him, she laid her head against his back and smiled. She was ready to go. (:3333) --- Isaac placed his hand against it, brushing the leather cover of the seat as if expecting it to neigh in return. "She's a beauty." He murmured, bringing his hand up to the handlebars and resting it there. Then, without another moment's hesitation, he swung himself on and fell into the familiar position. Ah, how he missed riding bikes with his brother. Now he was here, on some wizkid's speciality bike. "She should accept me? What's that mean?"

Even if the animal seemed to have a human mind behind all the fur. (lol it's fine) sorry accidentally fell asleep for a few hours at least im now caught up with my sleep lol) Ash easily understood the gesture but was still extremely wary of both brothers. He did not like guns which was understandable after everything that has happened to him. Ash slowly backed up and bent his head down towards the jerky while still keeping his eye on the two in front of him. After managing to get all the bags in his mouth he took off towards the doors and headed immediately towards the forest. Ash did stop when he had reached the forest again and turned around as he waited to see what would happen to the two. He wasn't used to people saving him especially when guns were involved and didn't know how to feel towards Dexter

(I know! Yeah. It is pretty good so far. ^^)
Waro stiffened at first, alarmed at her sudden close presence. But after a few moments he calmed under her warm touch. He'd never admit it, but he found it comforting. The hole in his chest felt a little less empty. The Silver Lily (which was all silver this time, strangely a different colour than it had been before) started forwards, and was quickly racing through the city. Maybe it wasn't such a bad thing having Hornet around. She was a skilled ally. Perhaps this time... THIS time, he would be strong enough to keep his 'ally' safe. He was stronger than he once was. Pleased with his decision, Waro sped around the corner and further into the busy city. Eventually he pulled up in front of a tall clothing store. It was full of all sorts of clothes, fancy and simple, all of which were good quality. He could still remember Lily's face, as she looked up at the building in reverence. Waro frowned slightly at the memory. He stopped by the sidewalk right in front of the store. "Go in there and find what you need." --- "Of course she is. I made it." Zed watched Isaac examine the bike, pride flooding through his chest. "My motorbikes are built to serve one person, and one person only. These ones haven't been set yet, so they should accept anyone as if yet. They should, anyways..." Zed explained with a dismissive wave of his hand. He walked back out the door and into the newly transformed room.

(Chaos: Oh yeah, you did mention something about vacation. ^^ I hope I haven't been too naggy or anything. I'm glad you had fun. Hehe. I usually end up tired and happy to be home after excitement, journeys and such too.) (Sam: Aw man. I can relate. XD I have a herd of nieces and nephews now, that I'm sometimes asked to keep an eye on.)

(A "herd" is exactly the right way to refer to the knee height goblins XD)
Hornet marveled at the building for a moment, and as she got off, she took his hand. "I've got no money and no taste. You're coming in to help." She ordered.
---
Isaac took a deep breath and started the bike. "Let's go, honey. I'll have a name for you eventually, but for now, let's just get around the track, yeah?" His grin widened as he felt the bike move along, and he guided it to the room. It was so smooth, and he needn't apply any pressure to the gas or breaks- the bike was alive, and it truly was like riding a metal horse. Every lap they took, Isaac felt more comfortable with it.

(Yup. Especially when there's six of them. ^^) (Also, whenever you post a description on Hornet, I'll get started on that picture. :3)
"I'll be waiting." A corner of Waro's mouth twitched upwards and he pulled his hand back. "Just let me know when you're ready." ---
Zed watched Isaac ride the motorbike. It didn't take very long to realize Isaac's experience. He had obviously rode before. The ponytailed man rode that bike was as if it was an extension of himself. A smile grew on his face, and Zed waited Isaac's return.

(Yessssss :3) (Well, here's the general gist. Instead of pink hair, imagine white. Her smile widened as she understood. Yes, she could wait for him. Letting her hand brush against his as she left, she turned and entered in with confidence abounds. She would simply shop around, find her favorite 5 outfits, and let him pick which she should keep! Perfect! --- Isaac brought it to a stop, with a deep feeling of pride he hadn't known was in him. The hero met his new friend's gaze, and said, "This is the most amazing bike I have ever ridden."
