The information he had been given was hazy at best. He did, however, manage to put on the necklace and make his way outside the bay with the envelope of money in one hand and the phone device in the other. Standing just outside the bay the shaggy haired sweeper with “XIII” tattood just under his left collar bone slowly held the device up and pushed the button.

“So hungry…” There was a slight pause before he simply tipped over face first into the ground with a loud thump. The sound of his stomach rumbling immediately followed before the audio cut out.

[feel free to poke him, prod him, trip over him or feed him, if no one claims the feeding part him I’ll have an NPC do it. Action and Audio replies are both welcome]

[caffinatekillua]

Killua is wandering by eating ice cream when he sees the body on the sidewalk. He stopped and nudged the body with his foot. The body didn't move. So he crouched down and shoved him over with a hand, and the phone clattered onto the sidewalk along with the welcome bag.

Which Killua focused on with wicked intent. He licked his ice cream and picked up the envelope and snickered. "Finders keepers buddy. Better luck next time." Gon wasn't around to make him behave and Killua's moral compass was broken so he straightened up and pocketed the money, letting it get hidden away.

Then he kicked him solidly in the shoulder. "Hey you, wake up. You're in the way." He licked his ice cream again and waited for a response.

[stray_cat_strut]

There is complete silence at least for a moment but thanks to the fact that Killua turned him over the smell of a waffle cone eventually wafted down to where Train was laying. His stomach let out another long growl and his newly emptied hand reached out to grasp at Killua's leg.

"Unnng fooood."

[caffinatekillua]

"I'm not food." Killua said dryly. "And you can't have mine."

[stray_cat_strut]

An are went up to lay across his forehead giving him a tired side eye. "Stingy."

[caffinatekillua]

Yep, it's my ice cream. Maybe you should get a job.

[stray_cat_strut]

"Already have one, have you seen a guy around here in a suit and an eye patch?" His stomach groaned again.

[caffinatekillua]

"Well then you don't need to take kid's ice cream." He lifts his chin and looks smug before considering the question.

"Uh... I think I'd remember a pirate wandering around. Nope, haven't seen one."

[stray_cat_strut]

"Pppffffttt, pirate! Hahahaha that's a good one, I'm gonna use that one for sure next time I see him!"

[caffinatekillua]

Killua looked at Train as though he thought he might be a little crazy. He seemed to have recovered enough to laugh at least. "Yeah well, that's what he gets for wearing an eyepatch. You sure he doesn't secretly wanna be one?"

[betel_geuse]

Betelgeuse looked at the man sprawled on the ground, head tilted in confusion. Another one, huh? He hoped this time there wasn't going to be any damned platypus.

"Yo!" he called out, gently nudging the guy's shoulder with the toe of his boot. "What's with you people napping on public streets? You need to go to bed! I mean, hell, you can always steal one. Wake up, fella!"

[stray_cat_strut]

No platypus here, just a guy passed out from hunger. What's with the people around here using their feet, did they have something against poking him with a finger?

Train replied by lifting his head slightly in order to rest his chin on the ground and let his stomach do the talking for him. And it replied in caps locks.

[betel_geuse]

Betelgeuse took a step back, cackling at the sound of the guy's stomach.

"Okay, food first, then nap," Betelgeuse advised. Hoping to at least get a good story out of all this, he reached into his pocket and pulled out one of the candy bars he used to attract insects for his meals. He dropped it in front of the guy. "There ya go, pal. It's yours, if you can wake up long enough to do something with it."

[stray_cat_strut]

His nose twitched a little when he heard something hit the ground in front of him and he opened his eyes to see the gift that had been bestowed upon him. Trains arms reached up and he took hold of it ripping it open and then shoving the whole thing into his mouth at once before masticating it for what seemed like a very long time from his awkward position.

[betel_geuse]

Betelgeuse settled next to him, smirking. "There ya go. Your recommended daily allowance of fat, high fructose corn syrup, and peanuts. I prefer beetles, m'self, but what the hell. A bit of sugar does ya a world of good."

[stray_cat_strut]

He finally swallowed and worked on sitting himself upright. "Hey, thanks man I was seriously starving. I thought I might die for a minute there!" His laugh didn't make it sound like that however. "Woah, what's with all the.." he motioned to his own general face area upon seeing the man's face and clothing "are you shooting a movie?"

[betel_geuse]

"Sure, no problem," Betelgeuse said. He chuckled at the other man's question. "Nah, I'm no actor, not that I don't have the looks for it! I'm a poltergeist...a ghost!"

[stray_cat_strut]

Train stares at him quizzically for a moment before reaching out and poking him lightly because you know... you never know. To be fair he's seen his share of weird things recently.

Keiichi hums to himself with a bag of pretzels on hand. It was a nice day to stroll around. It was then he saw a lump on the ground which piqued his curiosity. He ran over and blinked, it was a person. "Hey, you alright man? Sleeping on the ground isn't safe you know."

[action] orz why didn't this show up in my email?

[stray_cat_strut]

Train replied with an inaudible mumble, his stomach added to the conversation.

[action] no problems yo!

[magicianofwords]

The young boy sighs and crouches down to the other boy's level. Maybe that would help things. "Hey, you in there." Keiichi pokes him with his finger. Once the other's stomach replied he took out a bag of his pretzels and waved them at other's face.

[stray_cat_strut]

The crinkle of the bag seemed bring the starving man back to life as he snapped his head up to see what kind of item was calling his name. Pretzels!! His eyes lit up and a look of pure joy crossed his face. He slowly reached out to his wonderful savior in the crinkly bag.

[action]

[magicianofwords]

There was the reaction he was looking for. Keiichi smiled and handed the bag over to him. He wasn't that hungry anyway, he figured it was better for the other to take it. "Here take it. It's not really that much, but it's something right?" The boy let out a light chuckle, he could always get some other food later somehow.

[stray_cat_strut]

Train took the bag and sat up before downing the entire bag within a couple minutes, after-all he was not a pig, just a bottomless pit. After letting out a contented sigh he grinned at the other before standing up and brushing himself off. "Thanks man, you really saved me there!" Of course now he was thirsty because a bag of pretzels.

[magicianofwords]

Keiichi just watched him devour the bag in awe. Well then, he really was that hungry. "Hey! So you can talk~ Great to hear and now I'm out of pretzels, oh well. Looked like you needed it more anyway."

[stray_cat_strut]

He laughed a little, "Sorry 'bout that. I owe you one," he took a moment to glance around and take in his surroundings a bit. "Hmmm, where is this place again?"
