"Wait, I'm a pony?" Rose said, feigning surprise. "That explains the clacky doodads on the end of my legs! Heh. Yeah, born blind. And the youngest of four kids. AND the only girl. So growing up everyone treated me like I was this delicate flower," Rose said, before belching louder than she had anticipated. "I mean, if you want to describe yourself that's cool, but for the record I'd have absolutely no idea whatsoever about pretty much everything you'd say. Well ok, in terms of like, color or whatever. Don't understand color much, for obvious reasons. But, like, textures and sounds and stuff I can totally get. Kind of why coffee is my freaking jam, I mean the smell is part of the experience, you know? Kind of like how sushi is all about textures. I dunno, I talk a lot when I'm hyped up on caffeine and I've had two cups already," Rose said, smiling broadly in the direction of Crystal's voice.

"Eh that is cool there lass, um textures well I suppose I feel the same you do I mean I would not mind coming over and you having a feel your hands are way better than my words and I can't art...arttt..arttt...articulate! Them very well either, my words as you can hear there is a reason I'm in the forces." She took another sip of her tea as she waited for the response.

[captainborgue 343]

Rose laughed out loud- not out of malice, but just the ridiculousness of feeling up a total stranger. "Nah, it's cool. I mean I'm sure you're cool and everything, but I'd be a little weirded out by someone I just met putting their hands all over my face or whatever. So I'm not gonna do that to anyone else. Well, ok, that's not totally true. If a guy had a nice voice, maybe. But that's a whole other story," Rose said, sipping on her coffee. "Not sure I get what you mean by 'the forces'. Thought that was just a thing in the movies? I mean, when they talk about it the music gets all big and loud and impressive and I'm pretty sure something big is happening on screen, but like I'd know what it is. Action movies really aren't good at snappy dialogue, you know?"

"I was offering not to worry, encase you were like that or somthing." Crystal shrugged. "Oh you can't see that I shrugged so not to worry I was merely being thoughtful I suppose?" She took another sip. "I mean the army by the forces if you have a clue what a uniform looks like I'm in one but then I suppose you don't know again..." She felt a little frustrated by the situation but again she was not too bothered. "So...how's the coffee then Rose?"

@@J.R., Gemma Todd got out of bed, stretched carefully, and began her regular morning routine. She wasn't about to head out to the town before making sure that she looked as good as she could be. Afterwards, she dressed carefully in a cropped purple top and matching mini skirt, before pulling on some thigh high heeled boots. Checking to see if her hair and makeup were fine, and seeing that they were, Gemma let herself out of the house where she lived. She was due to work the afternoon shift in her parents' boutique, a fairly large store on the high street named The Unique Boutique which sold fashionable clothes, including a section for one off items of clothing which was in high demand.

Blitz noticed the coffee shop and figured that he might as well get something to drink. He wasn't really expecting the store to be populated, though, and simply walked towards the counter, waiting for his turn to order. "I'll have the dark roast." He said after the fox in front of him made her order

 

Apep smiled as she entered one of the few grocery stores in the city and looked around, thinking about what she would be able to make on such sort notice.

Malfoy continued making his way through town, a slight bob in his head that matched the rhythm of his music that was playing through his headphones. He kept his hands in his pockets as he continued down the side of the street until he came by the coffee shop and saw a number of animals inside. "Damn, looks like J.R. is getting rather busy today, weird but it will die down when everyone wakes up." He said to himself and continued down the sidewalk. 

 

The wolf looked around him seeing a few other animals throughout town. Soon he reached the grocery store and went inside, he grabbed a cart and begun wheeling it through the aisles looking for food for his home.

Denise looked around the empty shop and just sighed. Absolutely barren of people.

 

"The hell was I thinking?" She muttered to herself as she leaned back in her chair, "Hardly anyone comes in here, and I'm probably gonna lose the place if business doesn't pick up. Oh well, life experience I guess."

 

She pulled her loose beanie over her eyes and put on her earphones, blasting rock music from her mp3 player as she lamented possible future career choices.

It didn't take long for Apep to get what she needed. As she founded the corner, though, she ran into a cart being pushed by a wolf, causing her to drop the food she was carrying. "Sorry about that. I should've been paying more attention." She said, before she began to pick up what she had dropped.

As Malfoy was wheeling his cart through the store he was looking around at the shelves for anything he would need until he suddenly impacted something. He turned his head in front of his cart and saw he had hit someone. 

 

Malfoy rounded his cart as he pulled a headphone out of one of his ears and knelt down to help the snake with the groceries she had dropped. "No I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention." He said picking up several of the items to help her

Apep gave a slight smile as the two of them finished picking up her groceries. "Thanks. My name is Apep, by the way. Do you mind if I ask who you are?" The snake was a thankful that the wolf had helped her, and she was also a bit curious about him, so starting up a conversation was probably the best thing to do at this point.

Malfoy stood up straight as they had finished picking up all of her groceries. The wolf's ears perked up as the snake introduced herself as Apep and she asked who he was. "Of course not." He said as he removed his last head phone so he didn't seem rude. "I'm Malfoy, it's a pleasure to meet you... sorry it involved me almost running you over." He joked with a slight chortle.

Apep gave a slight giggle and smiled. "Don't worry about it. It could've been a lot worse." She said as a slight blush creeped up on her cheeks. "I'm an artist and do a bit of online writing in my spare time, so I actually just got back from a business trip/vacation. This was more or less a pleasant surprise to say the least."

"Yeah it could of." Malfoy agreed with a small smile.

 

"But that's cool that you're a writer and an artist, I'm actually an animator myself. I mainly do projects online and receive stipends for my work as well from any others I help with collaborative projects." He shared as his tail began to wag as he enjoyed talking to Apep. "I hope you enjoyed your business trip though."

"Well it's tasty, and more importantly cheap. Freelance singing doesn't pay all that well. Lucky for me, my seeing eye Diamond Dog helps out with funds. And I don't have much in the way of expenses. I'm a low maintenance kind of girl, I guess," Rose said, draining the cup and pouring another. "Busking isn't as glamorous as people think, really.

Apep's eyes lit up as Malfoy told her he was an animator and nodded. "It's always nice to meet another creative mind. I would love to see some of your work." She said, finding herself enjoying the conversation she was having with the wolf as much as he was. "As for my business trip, it was only supposed to last a few days, but I managed to get all the work done early and spent the rest of the time doing whatever I want."

"Really? Well I suppose you can see a lot of my work online on vidtube, I would definitely be interested in seeing your art, I always like seeing other's art to witness different styles and takes at art." Malfoy stated still smiling at the snake even though she was longer then most vehicles. 

 

"That's a good way to use your time when somewhere new, did you do anything really fun?" He asked curiously.

Well, this is a bore. I was expecting to see more people on here. Why am I the only one on the bus? And here I thought I could have a nice friendly chat with someone… that’s not the driver. Sheesh, I’m not sure what crawl up his butt and died, but wow, that’s the most unfriendliness bus driver I have EVER met! Well, I can't really blame him. Maybe something happened that made him like this? Ren thought to himself, hoping that some people are no simply just born as a grump, as he thought about his little conversation with the driver earlier.

 

30 minutes ago…

 

“Heeeeey there! How’s it going? I’m Ren Mizushima! So, how long have you-“

 

“Take a seat, will ya? I’m on a tight schedule. Got places to go and people to drive.” The ram driver replied, not bothering to even take a glance at him.

 

“Uhhh… Well… I. Um.” Ren took quick look around and saw that there were no other passengers aboard besides him. “But I don’t see-“ He didn’t dare finish what he wanted to say as the old ram gave him the stink eye. “Uh, I’ll just go find a seat.” He chuckled nervously and quickly sat at the back of the bus. He could have sworn he heard the ram muttered good riddance as he left.

 

…Presently

 

Ren shrugged off his thoughts about the driver’s negatively towards him and stare out the window. He begins thinking about what to do when he arrives at Amber Crust. However, his thoughts were interrupted by a sudden bump along the road that shook the bus and with him in it. His first thought was whether or not the driver ran into something, but his thoughts were rudely interrupted yet again by a quick stinging sensation to his rear. The pain almost made him yelp, but he held it in. Holding onto the seat in front of him, Ren lifted his rear up and saw a spring poking out of the cushion he was sitting on. A quick frown appeared on his face as he stared at the audacity of the spring. He wanted to pluck that spring right out of the seat and fling it out the window, however after giving his rear a quick rub, Ren decided to moved over to the next seat. Upon doing so he caught a quick glimpse of the driver looking at him through the rear mirror smirking at him. Oh, har, har. I bet he’s laughing his a** off at my misfortune… But, look at the bright side, at least he knows how to smile.

 

When the old rusted bus finally came to a stop, Ren grabbed his medium-sized, tan travel sack, swung it over his shoulder and quickly got off. Despite the way the driver treated him, he smiled and bid his farewell before going on his merry way. He finally arrived in amber Crust. Well, almost arrived is what he should say. Apparently he was dropped off at an old bus stop on the side of the road surrounded by miles of grassland and the occasional farm animals. The scenery compared to the big city was definitely something new. For one, he could actually see the wide open sky if he looked up, rather than tall buildings. The air was much cleaner too, which made him take a big whiff, “Ahh, the sweet smell of natur- wow, what IS that?!” Ren had to quickly cover his mouth and nose after smelling something putrid. His eyes fell on a large cowpie that stood a few feet away. “Yep. That’s the smell of nature all right.” He pinched his nose as he spoke and started down the asphalt road.

 

Some time passed…

 

Ren lost track of how long he’s been walking down the same road. He’s probably been walking for miles now, being baked under the sun. Luckily he was only wearing a short, icy-blue, slim-fit t-shirt, light tan cargo shorts, some white socks, and a pair of blue running sneakers. It was also a good thing he brought bottles of water and a white towel. Placing the towel over his head, Ren unscrew the cap of a water bottle and took a few gulps. Afterwards he poured the rest over his head, damping the towel and his clothes in the process. He didn't care about his clothes getting wet. It’ll just dry with the sun anyways. Note to self… Plan in advance next time you decide to take a trip…

 

After finally arriving to amber Crust, Ren was literally covered in sweat. Oh, what I wouldn't give to have a cold shower right now. He thought to himself and tugged the collar of his shirt a few times. Making his way towards a trashcan, Ren dumped off four empty bottles and thought about his next course of action. His brain told himself to go find his friend, but his stomach protested and made a valid argument by growling. “Guess I’ll get a bite to eat and something to keep me dehydrated first. Is there a café around here? I do faintly remember being told that there are a few within this town.” He wracked his brain trying to remember the name of the establishment. “Don’t quite remember, but I’m sure I’ll find it. I could always ask one of the locals for directions, if needed.” With that said, Ren wandered off, his medium-length tail swaying lightly from side to side.

Apep nodded slightly and felt a bit more comfortable around Malfoy now that she was getting to know him better. "Thanks. I wouldn't mind that." She said. "As for my trip, I went the beach a couple of times, went shopping for a bit, and spent time with a few friends who were in the area."
