"Oh. Thanks!" Porter wagged her tail and smiled sheepishly. "I'm Porter, by the way." She looked to them all now. "So... You're Malice, and you're Sparks... What are your names?" She looked to the two people she didn't know yet.

Malice was already walking out the door, figuring they may as well be on their way and introduce themselves on the move. "Come along, children." She stopped as she passed Porter, taking the time to look down at her and smirk, moving to ruffle her hair. "Let's get a move on! I want to eat before the rush."

"I am Abelith, this is Toram and that's Rezai"Abelith introduced, following Malice out the door.

Porter dipped her head, smiling up at Malice. She looked to the others. "Nice to meet you all." She followed them all out the door now, walking along with them down the hallway. "So how on earth did we end up with six people in one apartment?" she asked curiously.

Sparks shrugged. "Who knows? Maybe it's because two of us were classified as micro. I'm more confused as to why they put both genders in one apartment." He grumbled. "And why they didn't bother with a micro room."

"I think the little ones were meant to be sacrifices," theorized Malice. "Or that we were the overflow section. Either way, this seems unorganized." They were outside now. Malice walked up to an old blue SUV and pulled out her keys, unlocking the door and beckoning everyone in. "Mind the mess."

The car was indeed messy, with chip bags, coffee cups, sports equipment in the back, and more piled in. The seats were clean though, and the mess was mainly in the driver's seat. "And don't open the glove compartment."

"Why?"Toram asked climbing in to the messy vehicle. Rezai climbed in as well, manuevering herself to sit in the back. Abeltih got into the seat next to Malice.

"You don't have any skeletons of dead mice in there, do you?" Porter teased as she crawled in to sit in the bath withh Rezai, since she was smallest of the macros. She buckled in and made herself comfortable. Well it was a big car, at least, and that was good.

Malice climbed into the front, starting the engine and flashing Porter a smile. "Something like that." She raised an eyebrow at Sparks, who looked disgusted. They drove away, passing by several shops and signs as they went. She turned on the radio, a news broadcast playing.

"So, who all is going to school right now? Any favorite subjects?" Inquired Sparks.

"I finished school already. Screw going back"Toram grumbled. He utterly despised half the subjects he 'required' that he's still yet to use, not even once,now that he was out of school. "Iwas home schooled."Rezai responded, not sayign much else. "And you already know about my schooling"Abelith said.

Porter busied herself with looking outside. "I'm going to college online. It's a public college back in my hometown, so it has a very low fee. I'm studying world cultures and history." She smiled a bit. "What about you, Sparks?"

"I'm going to high school here, one of the better ones in the country. Junior there. I want to be a game developer or animator."

"I've actually seen you around, half-pint. I go to the same school. Nearly stepped on you once." She sighed contentedly. "I'm a senior this year. Not too long before I'll be roaming the streets looking for work. I don't really know what I'd be suited for though."

They pulled up by the mall, a mammoth of a building spreading across the landscape. Out front was a fountain with street vendors nearby, including artists, food salesmen, and all manner of anthros. Malice parked the car and got out, already making her way to grab a hot dog.

Rezai, Abelith, and Toram got out aswell. "So, me nad Sparks are gonna be off to the game store. I don't care hwat you ladies do"Toram said, heading off to the mall.

"Seems I'm one of the older ones of the bunch, then." Porter laughed a bit as she got out. "...despite all our size differences..." She cleared her throat and followed Malice, while looking to Rezai and Abelith. "So whaddya guys wanna do? I'm up for looking at pretty much anything. Clothes, books, games... Though a frozen cappuccino sounds great right about now."

Abelith shrugged. "I don't know what we're going to do."She said, having never gone to the mall before.

Malice purchased a hot dog, soda, and fries and was already halfway through eating everything when she spoke. "Doesn't matter to me, though I'd love to stop by the hunting section. Always fun to go through." She waved to the boys as they passed.

Sparks sat idly on Toram's shoulder, flipping through his phone to locate a list of games that had interested him in the past few months.

"Hunting?" Porter asked. "Oh, that reminds me! I need to look for a new laser blade. My other one is ridiculously old... It was my older brother's. It busted in my last tournament." She scrunched up her nose. "So can we swing by the SotF equipment shops, too?"

Malice nearly choked on her hotdog, coughing and sputtering. She took a gulp of her soda and gasped, looking at Porter. "You play Survival of the Fittest?" Her eyebrows were raised, looking down at the adorable corgi, whom she was a head or so taller of. "I play it too. We could totally swing by. I'll have to duel you. I use laser blades too."

They passed other stalls as they came inside; ones with cell phones, jewelry, knickknacks, and more. Malice looked over her shoulder to make sure Abelith was doing all right in this new environment.

Porter laughed a bit. "I do! Don't let my puppy-like appearance fool you!" She stuck her hands in her back pockets. "I don't know how I would do against a tiger, though... I'm used to playing with smaller races, mostly other canines. Pugs, beagles, terriers...ya know, people like that. But if you don't mind a quick, easy match, I'd love to fight you."

Abelith had a surprised, somewhat overwhelmed look on her face. While she had been to bazarre's in her life, non were like this mall. Most didn't have as advanced tech for sale, hell a few stlls would simply sell stick dubbed 'itch removers'."Why are none of these stalls selling foods?"Abelith asked confused having more or less blocked out the conversation Malice and Porter were having.


"Okay so what games you wanting to get?"Toram asked.

Malice glanced about at a squirrel couple that passed. "Because the food is walking by us. That, plus the cafeteria is that way." She jabbed a thumb over her shoulder. "I imagine you don't have an e-card yet, so I'll buy you what you like." She gestured to the bookstore. "I suppose you and Porter might want to stop by there at some point." She looked down at the corgi. "I may just have to take you up on that offer. You at least have to tell me what tournaments you're playing in. I'd like to see you in action."

"There's a detective game I was planning on buying. Maybe some other stuff, depending on how my wallet will look afterwards. What about you, Toram?" They'd made it to the entrance of the store and stepped in
