Chel was bored. She was inside a building that didn't seem to be in use any more, but was plenty warm - which was why she was in there. She was sitting on a bench in a room that was nearly empty aside from various forms of seeting and two empty bookcases thrown in the room at seemingly random places. Yeah, it was kind of ugly-looking, but that wasn ( Read more... )

And she got her wish.

The door leading into the building flew open rather abruptly as a young man zipped inside, slamming it shut behind him as voices could be heard approaching outside. He quickly pressed his back against the door, listening intently as the sounds drew near.

"Where'd that bastard go?" "That damn thief, he's gotta be here somewhere!" "He must be hiding around here...!"

The young swordsman, Guy, grimaced slightly at those words. He hadn't stolen a thing; all he'd done was accept some food from a stranger who noticed he was hungry. He didn't know it was stolen until he was halfway through eating it! But they would hear none of that, and, well, here he was ( ... )

Luckily for Guy, Chel was far from the type to scream over a thief - or seeming theif. Whatever.

She reached back and pulled a large portion of her hair over her shoulder, then began to run her fingers through it. Her eyes closed just as her mouth opened. "So... What did you take?"

His composure relaxed a little as he realized she wasn't about to yell; truth be told, even if he was attacked he could hold his own just fine, but fighting a pointless battle like that would just leave a bad taste in his mouth. He opened his mouth to thank her for not giving him away, when her words actually registered.

"N-nothing!" he insisted, pushing himself off the door with an annoyed sigh. "Someone gave me some food, but it turns out they stole it. I just got caught eating it." He frowned slightly - was that a pout? - as he muttered "That's just my luck, really."

Snapping out of his annoyed mindset, he quickly bowed to the relaxing woman before him. "Oh, but in any case, thank you for not turning me in! I definitely owe you one!"

She looked almost disappointed by his protest. Chel was really a theif out of necessity - well, in her mind it was necessity - more than anything else, but criminals were... Well, interesting. Her expression went from disappointed to bored as the boy complained about his luck, accompanied by a raised eyebrow.

Still, she didn't speak until he said he owed her, and then she was beaming. "Owe me one, huh? And what exactly do you have to offer?"

Never wish too hard for excitement, Chel.

You might end up with an Ash, slamming his way directly THROUGH that bookcase. He managed to land in an ungraceful heap right beside you.

It took him a couple of minutes to finally speak up. And what he said? Wasn't very illuminating. "What in the hell?"

Chel stared in bewilderming at Ash, her eyes only widening at his comment.

"I was going to say the same thing."

There is a groan from Ash as he gets up. He powers down his chainsaw and tucks it into the holster on his back. Then he hikes a thumb over his shoulder in the direction of the now-decimated bookcase. "I was in the cowboy bar next door," he explained. "Let's just say they don't believe in Deadites until you give 'em proof."

He lifts his chin and watches her. "You got a name?" Ash usually doesn't care about covering for his awkward moments, but he might as well talk to her for a minute.
