DogStreet

Robin was lounging on his couch, playing the newest Resident Evil game. A scowl covered his face as the game progressed, nerves being tested at the mechanics. Eventually the controller was sat down in frustration when the 'You Are Dead' screen appeared. The young demon made his way into his kitchen to grab a drink, likely just a can of Mt.Dew. Robin was dressed in a worn out pair of jeans and a black t-shirt.

(Somebody knock on my door. xD)

Courtney will knock! And knock she did, standing nervously at the demon's door as she waited for him to open it. She was dressed casually in a yellow Pikachu hoodie, a white shirt simply reading 'Pokemon' in red letters and a pair of faded blue skinny jeans with red converse. Her blue hair was left down, a slender little hand sweeping through it as her nerves grew worse. What was she doing? Robin was out of her league on every level! Mayday! Abandon ship! Abort! Abort! No doubt when she turns to run the door would open right? She waited far too long to change her mind.

Lunar went too deep into the forest and likely wound up in Dogstreet. No doubt she saw the girl, Corky, looking nervous and decided to head on over to see what was up. Had she forgot her key inside? Lunar could help, if needed. She didnt know! This was a completely new town to her.. The girl was decked out in that wet leather attire she was known to wear at her usual hangout place. Spiked leather boots, black hair in loose curls, corset and some leather pants. A silver necklace hang around her neck, a bright red ruby rested at the center. A gift from her friend. On that left wrist was a studded bracelet. Most of tattoos was well in view as well tonight. Snakebites glistened slightly when those red lips parted to speak, "Is everything okay?" Smokey eyed-teal orbs met Corky's exact expression once closer. Curiousity was flooding that mind about now. Had she been in the mood, she'd try to read the girl's thoughts. However, this was a stranger... Dare Lu want to know? What if she was a psychopath.. Or serial killer..?

That knock caught his attention and he sat his pop on the kitchen table, heading towards the door. He heard an unfamiliar voice just before he opened the door. Well, this was amusing. "Court?" he was confused. Yeah they knew each other well but usually didn't share each other's company enough for house visits. He still gave her a warm smile however and glanced to Lu briefly, "Why do you and your friend look like you just hid a body or something?" Courtney's wide eyes hadn't helped her case. Why did she look so panicked? "Sorry," he said to Lu, "I forgot my manners. I'm Robin." A hand was held out to shake with a warm smile. A little black chain glistened from behind his shirt collar. It was his Guardian badge, but Lu wouldn't know that since she was new in town. The demon's aura was kept low on purpose so he didn't draw too much attention to himself in crowds that could sense it.

(Character info will be up eventually. Working out a few details.)

Kalila had been living in Dogstreet for a couple months now. By herself, even at the young age. Her parents? They were missing. How did she find the town? Maybe she stumbled in.. Or perhaps one of the many, handpicked, guardians helped her one day? The girl has a non-contagious, non-curable disease. The name is still unknown (w.i.p) but another name, much simpler, that it went by was "X0372." That style was the same as usual, matching her pink hair. Big white and silver orbs gave off the fact that the girl was blind. However, when on grass, dirt, mud or something of the sort; she could see. Her shoes no doubt, had zero bottoms to them. That way it would be easier for her.

Kalila was likely standing outside somewhere playing with other residents when hearing voices and heading over to see what the buzz was about. She saw a new girl, Corky and Robin in the door frame. A wave would be given before running up, "Hi."

However! There was a chance her running over wasn't normal. She may have falter for a breif moment due to a random join pain.

"Ack!" Corky gasped as Lu showed up. Court? His voice was like a blanket of chills that wrapped around her from his lips saying her name. She did look like she just committed murder! She had squeaked loudly when Robin opened his door, instinctively reaching to grab ahold of Lu as if Lu could save her from the nonexistent threat. The only threat was the dangerous pounding of her heart. Had Lu not moved she would slowly let go of the death grip when Robin held out his hand to her 'friend'. "M-Maybe we did.. under your porch!" she stammered. Kalila's voice nearly made her pee her pants! So jumpy!! "Hi!" she said cheerfully when she realized who it was, "How are you pretty girl?" Corky was always super nice to those smaller and younger than herself. At least this way Robin wouldn't ask why she was there! Off the hook!!

Lunar was was fighting back the laugh from Corky's reaction to her showing up randomly. As the door clicked, she froze and looked that way. Eyes also widened. This... Wasnt that girl's house? Oops... Lunar was ready to break into a house that didnt need it. Way to assume things! She hadnt moved and Corky clinging to her only made that expression more shocked. Thankfully, she had already ate recently. Lunar's tongue clicked as Corky's gril was slowly lifting. Robin was right, both looked very suspecious. Before the hybrid could reply? Courtney beat her to it! Those eyes grew huge just as fast as they went to normal. Should she go along? What if the guy was an undercover detective? There she goes again, exaggerating. Oh course, she was clueless what the "G" meant. And her assumptions were close, but not exact. Those ears likely caught the other girl's heartbeat faster than usual. Ohh.. If this were Pulse. She would so call her out! Robin's hand was shook and thise lips parted to speak, breaking the debate going in her mind, "Lunar." A smile was also given in return and she relaxed a bit more. Another face came! Well... Ran while waving. Kalila. "Hey."

(Having service issues on phone. >.<)

"Under my porch?" he laughed, "You mean the deck out back? Come on, I thought you were smarter than that. Next time you need to hide a body, I got you. I've watched just about every episode of Dexter there is so..." A smirk slid over his lips and he spoke a bit darker, "Or perhaps you were trying to frame me? Now if THAT were the case we'd need to have a few words." A playful wink was given to show them he was still just joking. Right?

"It's nice to meet you Lunar," he said honestly, "Welcome to DogStreet." When Kalila arrived he smiled again warmly, "Hey Shorty." It was said in a fond manner rather than rude as the demon picked on people he liked, much like he was doing Corky seconds ago.

The child had missed the conversation going on about a body. Had she, no doubt she would go look! A brighter smile was given when asked how she was doing, "Im great!" That probably had meaning behind it. "How are you all?" The stranger, Lu, seemed nice so far. So she wasn't afraid. Even if one did scare her, Kalila would attempt to hide it. Those huge eyes looked Robin's way, the child thought he was literally Batman's sidekick in what little time she was here. Why? The name, he was a guardian and th favt thay he too rode a motorcycle. To her little mind, she thought she'd had it all figured out! "Robin! What adventures did you go on today? Did you get to drive the Batmobile?" A bounce was added with each passing sentence, she was excited to hear all about it if anything. That attention turned to Corky first, "Did you just get back with him? Was it fun?" Now to Lu, "Did they rescue you?!" Easy Kalila.. Give them time to answer!

Corky had no idea she just death gripped a vampire hybrid but it didn't matter since Lu wasn't thirsty. Robin's words had her fidgeting, feet shuffling. She gasped in surprise at the body comment, unsure if she should be relieved he'd help or be scared that he knew how to hide one... That lower voice paired with that devilish smirk she had secretly always loved seeing made her gulp. Frame Robin? Never! Saved by Kalila's questions she started dishing out one after another. She loved the kid so much right now for saving her tail. She giggled, glancing to Robin to see how he'd respond. "Well I um- We-" she just trailed off and laughed again, unsure how to respond.

(Cool beans!)

The exchange between Corky and Robin about the body had her smirking. Then his words got darker and caught her attention. Well.. That was interesting. Least now she knows someone in this town can hide bodies as well! Ahem.. "Thanks, nice to meet ya too."

Kalila was so full of energy, dashing out questions at the two of them left and right. Annnd one was aimed at her, she too would laugh as Corky did and look at the others. If they said yes, she would go along with being rescued. If no, then she'd tell the girl the truth about wondering in; if asked. Poor Corky was even having a hard time on how to respond. The ball was in Robin's field now.

(Sorry for the hold up. We have wifi again )

Batmobile? Was she serious? He wasn't the man she thought he was, but he could play along right? Why not? "Pfft, no. Batman doesn't know how to share," he laughed playfully, "I'm gonna have to build one of my own to drive around town." Adventures? Hmm.. Come on, think. Make something up.. Kids love stories about heroes. He stole a glance at Corky and Lu when they laughed and saw they seemed to be down with rolling with it.

"There we were," he started, voice excited for the dramatic effect, "Surrounded in the forest. It was just me, Corkster, and Lunar against the biggest group of forest gnomes I'd seen in a while! They hit us hard, with their tiny swords and axes but thankfully they were all made out of wood. We didn't get a single scratch from that war we won. Those are the best kind." Those dark eyes had softened considerably when he was telling the child that story, and perhaps the girls caught the soft spot Robin had for kids. "Anyway! I looked at Court and said 'They have us outnumbered! But they're so tiny I think we can just putt them away like footballs!' She agreed and so we went to work kicking them through the air. They loved it! They cheered all the way until they vanished with a little twinkle against the sky. When all the dust cleared, we brought Lu back here with us and that's when you showed up. She was a trooper as well! Showed them gnomes who's boss!" He grinned brightly, proud of himself for making something like that up on the spot and if the kid really thought he was a hero, maybe she'd believe it. "So... Who wants to go see what we can get into now?" he laughed. He was likely one of the very few Guardians that would ever ask such a question. He was much more laid back than most of them and followed his own set of rules.

Those eyes looked to Corky since she spoke up first, "You..?" That laugh had her more excited to hear! It had to be fun! ..right? Lunar was given a look as well since she too started laughing. Of course she believed his story, batman was protective over his batmobile! When his voice got an excited tone she bounced. With each passing word those eyes got bigger and bigger. Then a gasp hit at the wooden weapon part of the story, "Thankfully neither of you got splinters! ..Those hurt." She bounced up and down about the ending, "Hoooray!! Show them gnomes!" Huh..? She was invited this time!! Those eyes were still huge and a big bright smile crept over her lips, "I can truely come?!" Had anyone answered sure she'd squeal and be ready to head in whatever direction they were going. She looked from Corky to Lu now, who said girls cant be brave! Yeeeah, Kalila watches too much television.

(Sorry about the weak post.)

(No worries!)

His story had her giggling as well, impressed that he'd just made it up like that without any kind of prompt. He barely had time to think and had just rolled with it! She had a new respect for Robin now. "Yep! Footballs!" she chimed in with a laugh, nodding enthusiastically when Kalila spoke about splinters, "They do! I'm super thankful!" At Robin's question, her breath caught. This was the first chance she'd ever gotten to hang out with Robin... There was NO way she was passing this up. "Me me!" she laughed, bouncing too. "Of course you can!" she said to Kalila, "It would be rude to just walk off and leave you! I'm sure Robin knows something fun for four people! Right?" She gave him a big expectant smile. If he can make up a story, he can come up with a fun adventure too!

(Mine was smaller! )
