first hunt [action]

[unfollowed]

GENESSIA COMMONSPACE
[ The groggy haze hasn't yet exactly worn off this demon hunter here and Nero finds himself crashed on the bed he has in this (temporary) room of his. Arm draped across his eyes, he's about five seconds away from conking out where he hopes when he wakes this will all be a bad dream, when the sound of WHATEVER THAT IS keeps him from doing so. With a scowl, he throws himself off the bed, yanks open the door (and nearly off its hinges oops) and- ]

Hey! You wanna keep it down?!

[ He'll just yell that down the hall to whoever or whatever that is. ]


GENESSIA CITY
[ Moving down the streets with a scowl on his face (not like he ever wears another expression) is a white-haired, sword strapped to his back with a glowing blue arm guy. He's heard the spiel about this place, is annoyed with this whole kidnapped by spirits shtick going on here, and can't remember the last time he actually ate something so that's where he's headed. Or hopes he is.

The first food place he finds, he drops some of those red bills down and asks what he can get with some of this and, as he waits for his food to be brought to him, if you're staring, he's gonna feel that... even address you without looking over. ]

Take a picture, it'll last longer.

[ That, or, he's going to be sitting there at whatever table is available, head in his hands and clearly just DONE with this place already. ]

Comments

GENESSIA CITY ; Pan's Grocer's!

[keymemory]

[ Did you just slap down some money in front of Sora? Because this is not how shopping usually works! He softly giggles and lifts his hands up to deny the cash just before the quick retort sounds from the silver-haired stranger. Wah? Sora looks over to some of the other shoppers who were gawking at the customer and he waves at them with a small pout.

Once they've seem to move along, Sora looks back to the silver-haired man and offers some helpful hints! ]

So, you have to get the groceries first! And theeeeen you buy them! But you don't pay me! I'm just a bagger, you got to go to the check out line! Don't you worry, though, I'm going to help you along! Come on, I'll help you shop... come on!

[unfollowed]

[ Look. It's his first day, he's hungry, tired, in some strange world, and not in the mood for grocery shopping of all things when he's clearly on limited funds here, so Sora will just get a look from Nero as he's told to come along and... shop. ]

Yeah, can't I just get something to go? Kinda not in the mood for shopping.

Genessia City - Hangar Queen?

[phoenixstrut]

[Well, that's something you don't really see everyday, and certainly nothing she's felt in a while.

The angel isn't outright staring at him as she sips her drinks, but those golden eyes sure are curious when she does glance over. Sure, her wings are hidden, but that won't stop her senses from running wild. She does grimace a little when he calls her out though.]

Ah, sorry... Just....everything okay?

((ooc: she's an empath, so if that's not cool, let me know!))

[unfollowed]

(( ooc: it's perfectly cool with me! ))

Yeah, real peachy. Can't ya tell?

[ Sarcasm drips from each and every word as he continues to stare ahead with what must feel like a permanent scowl fixed upon his face. He's new, he's tired, he's hungry... he's a lot of negativity right now and if emotions were possible to manifest themselves, his would probably be akin to a gray storm cloud or a ball of black scribbles. ]

This isn't exactly where I planned to end up.

[ This... world, he means. ]

[fashionably_strong]

[Bulla is staring, but not at Nero's arm, or even the sword strapped to his back. Instead, it's his hair and facial features.]

Sorry. You just look kind of like someone I've met here, only younger.

[If he looks over, he'll notice a blue haired girl with an absurd amount of food at her table, and no one else there eating it with her even though it looks like enough to feed five people.]

[unfollowed]

[ At least he doesn't have egg on his face or something? Still, that sort of catches Nero off guard and he actually comes to look to her a little curiously. Could it be possible? No, because he looks nothing like that old man, thanks.

But then... the food. There's just... so much of it?? ]

You sure you got enough there?

[Restaurant]

[solar_flare]

Don't mind if I do~

[He's got a weird right arm, she's got a weird right arm. It's something they have in common. Yang's in the booth immediately behind his, and sure she's been squinting at the back of his head for a while, she just didn't expect him to notice. Caught red-handed, she might as well fess up and play along with some friendly teasing. She holds up her communicator as if she really will take a picture.]

Oh, and try the grilled cheese. You'll feel better once you've got some comfort food in you.

[unfollowed]

[ Tch, well that's bold of her to say, isn't it? However, rather than give a response back to her more or less admitting that and the possibility of acting on his suggestion, he glances away when the comfort food part is mentioned because, boy, he could sure use some right now. ]

I'll feel better when I'm out of this place.

[ This world. But he gets the feeling that's not gonna happen anytime soon. ]

[alwaysimpaled]

[Dante had been antsy all day. Lady showed up and people tended to show up in waves. As such, he'd decided to take a look around the Bay area when he spotted a familiar looking coat in a crowd. When he caught up with Nero, he heard the picture remark. As such he flops into a seat next to Nero, lightly punching Nero in the back of the head.]

Didn't your parents teach you how to be courteous?

[unfollowed]

[ For a moment, Nero lets that gentle punch sink in because it's attached to an arm of a familiar presence... and he sorta can't even be surprised that that familiar presence is here. Or maybe he is. Who knows. Regardless, he blindly swats around him and grumbles. ]

Maybe if I had any.

[ But that's when he turns to face Dante, really wanting to be sure that he didn't conk out back at that room of his and he's currently dreaming or maybe even hallucinating from being so tired. ]

You know, when I said we should meet, I didn't really mean in another goddamn world.

[ A beat. ]

So you wanna tell me the deal here?

Genessia Commonspace - Demon Hunter meet Demon

[fadedscarlet]

[Best way to gather frustration and hate? Put the music up at maximum. On the other plus side? You get to drown yourself in that fact that you're a filthy mortal human.

Win-win.

Kii only shouted back with a smirk]

Turn it up louder? Oh okay~~~

[They laughed, feeding on such frustration like a good drink]

oh boy here we go

[unfollowed]

[ He is so not in the mood for this... he is so not in the mood for this... he is so not in the mood for this.

Nero scowls and leaves the confines of his room, making his way down the hall. ]

Hey! You ever heard of consideration for other people you little twerp?!

Genessia City ; Some Spicy Food Restaurant

[hot_handed]

Careful, don't cut yourself on all that edge.

[He sneers at the man, losing all of the patience he didn't have. Great, another white haired prick. He had only glanced his way because he thought the Geriatric Albino had gotten a face job, but no, it turned out to just be some overgrown emo pissbaby.]

[unfollowed]

[ Oh, this is sure to go well, isn't it? ]

Could say the same to you, pal.

[ He mutters that without even bothering to look over to him, not in the mood for this or everything that comes with being here. ]

Action

[riddlemehiss]

[Click!

That's the sound of the communication device snapping up a photo of the scowling young man. Unfortunately the Cheshire Cat isn't great at picking up on figures of speech. As for a picture and you shall have one taken.]

You didn't smile!

[unfollowed]

[ You got that right since he didn't actually think someone would take him literally? Figures. ]

What's there to smile about?

Genessia City; Some Little Ramen Spot

[tsukihito]

I rather not.

[Answers the little kitsune that keeps on staring. Those fluffy white ears are standing straight up with attention. It's not everyday that Tsukihito spots someone nearly as bizarre looking as himself, especially not someone boasting that odd aura.

Tsukihito is quite intrigued. ]

I do not find you photogenic.

[unfollowed]

[ Well, that's not exactly the sort of comeback he anticipated hearing? But, Nero just gives a bit of a chuckle under his breath, fleeting as it is, still not even bothering to glance over to the one addressing him. ]

Everyone's a critic, huh?

Genessia City

[sarcastass]

[He doesn't usually eat cheap, not really. Normally it's Filet Mignon this or Flambe that. Why the hell would he eat cheap, he's rich as fuck.

... Well apparently, he'll eat cheap whenever the craving strikes, he's a demon, self control isn't one of his qualities.

He looks hilariously out of place, standing in line here, Italian suit and calfskin shoes and gold tipped cane.

There is, indeed, someone staring though, and all things considered, it may as well be him. A fat, pumpkin colored corgi with a stupid pink sweater, oversized golden eyes boring a hole in the back of the young mans head with an inordinate amount of intensity for a dog.]

Well I can't take one of the back of your head, that would be creepy.

[unfollowed]

[ Hey, when the stomach demands a certain kind of food, you just don't argue with it.

Nero and pets... now there's something you don't see everyday. And even if it's this furry little guy (who is maybe slightly overdressed??) who's the one staring a hole into the back of his head, it still has Nero feel a little on edge, a little uncomfortable and it's only when there's a voice to follow moments later that he gives a bit of a glance over...

...you know, just to make sure that wasn't the dog talking to him and all. ]

Yeah? Pretty sure there's someone out there who does it.

[ Because everyone's got a thing, right? However, a quick glance to the guy, Nero looks back ahead, maybe even gives a bit of an amused sound under his breath. ]

And I thought I looked out of place.

GENESSIA CITY

[blindpuppet]

I don't have a camera.

[Enis generally walks around trying to help those who've freshly arrived to the city of Genessia. It doesn't take long for her to ping Nero as new though he's a bit more gruff than what she's used too.

Not that he cares, this is kind of part of her job, which is really the only reason she does it. Protecting the innocence and all that.]

You look like you need a drink.

[It's a statement, not a question.]

[unfollowed]

[ Gruff is certainly a good way to put it. But, hey, he's new, tired, hungry... it's been a day.

Her suggestion, however, has him give what might be considered some form of a chuckle, though it's fleeting and seems a bit more exhausted than annoyed. ]

Guess that depends on if it's the sort of drink that's gonna get me outta here.

gen city: moonbucks

[yoyoofdoom]

Sorry!

[Most apologetic tomgirl nun. (If it walks and talks like a girl... it's a girl, right?) Bridget smiles sheepishly from the other side of the booth.]

I didn't mean to be rude. I was looking at that sword there aaaaaaand--[He leans forward and dangles his arms from the booth.] You kinda look like someone I know.

[Don't mind the stuffed bear over his shoulder.]

[unfollowed]

[ Right, so... he reminds this kid of someone. Good thing? Bad thing? Guess he's about to find out. Maybe. ]

Yeah, well, I'm not them.

[ As he comes to pinch the bridge of his nose with his fingers. ]

Maybe you should go find them.

action #1!

[torsion]

[ Good job, cool guy! Wrong area. Alas, she's not the one that is making the kerfuffle and she looks pretty gosh darn salty about his actions and more over, like she's gonna throw him and pile drive him -- which honestly seems like the nice thing she'd do. ]

Wrong damn wrong, friend! Just because I'm up doesn't mean that I'm the culprit!

[ Fully clothed, she rolls to her feet off the bed and crosses the distance. ]

Since you've ensured I'm up, though, guess I'll volunteer to help you find what's up, then?

[unfollowed]

[ Well, gee, how's he to know who the hell is making all that racket when he's still so damn tired from earlier? Not an excuse, sure, but at least he's not the only one up now?

Blue fingers curl into the door frame he stands within and eyes come to narrow for just a second before he sighs and hangs his head. ]

I need to get out of here ASAP.

[ That's more muttered to himself as he steps out of the doorway and rubs that blue hand down his face, taking a look around. ]

Yeah, great. Now we've got ourselves a search party.

[ That might be said a little dryly. Someone is a grouch with lack of sleep and being tossed into a new world. ]
