Settling In

[Catilena1890]

Sera tilted her head at them.

"Well, we'll work that out later. As for jobs, the offer for bouncer is still available to Mutt. We always have to evict someone every week and 99% of the time they give us a hard time about it." She said, turning to Mutt.

[darkwolf117]

Mutt grinned widely. "Hmm, I like the sound of bein' a bouncer," he said, chuckling. He flexed a bit. "Yeah, I think I could do that."

Dark frowned at his enthusiasm. "Try not to be a jackass when evicting people?" he asked with a laugh. "I would like to not have to worry about psychopaths coming after me, cuz my Guardian enjoys his new job too much."

Mutt clapped him on the back. "Hey, they wanna mess with you, they'll have to go through me," he bared his teeth in a cruel grin. "Hopefully, if I do a good job they'll avoid this place like the plague." He laughed again, clearly liking the idea, and Dark shook his head.

[Catilena1890]

Sera laughed at their banter and bobbed her head.

"Actually, the meaner he is, the better. If they are being evicted they have no reason to be here and if he does a good job, they'll be so threatened by him they'll avoid anyone who'll associate with them. Would YOU mess with someone who has a monster for a pal?" She asked Dark.

[darkwolf117]

Dark laughed. "Well, no, I wouldn't, but you never know. Some people can be-"

Mutt cut in, unhappy. "You don't have faith in how terrifying I can be?" he asked with sad puppy dog eyes. "You're hurtin' my feelings.

Dark burst out laughing. "Yeah, 'cuz you just look like the most frightening creature in the world with that expression," he said.

"Ah!" Mutt scowled. "Hmm, Sera, just so you know, when you have to evict Dark at some point, I will be more than happy to throw him out," he said, with a mocking grin.

"Oh, that so?" Dark asked. "I would love to see you try that," he said tauntingly, poking Mutt in the chest.

"Hey!" Mutt exclaimed, and brought his face down to Dark's, growling at him with teeth bared. Dark flicked him on the nose, and Mutt drew back up with a whine rubbing his nose. "Sera, Dark's picking on me," he complained, and hid behind her, while Dark cracked up with laughter.

[Catilena1890]

Sera double-taked back and forth from Dark to Mutt and whined a bit at the confusion of not knowing which side to take. She sweatdropped and bit and shifted in the air.

"Uhhh, right, well, er, let's move on, shall we?" She said awkwardly.

[darkwolf117]

Dark chuckled. "Look, now you got Sera all flustered, ya big baby," he said.

Mutt whined with a bit of indignation. "Well, you shouldn't be abusive to me. I got feelings too, ya know," Mutt said, hardly keeping a straight face as he said it.

"Tch, yeah right, if you got upset by that, you need a self-esteem class," Dark said. "Besides, I believe you started it. Don't bite off more than you can handle." He clapped Mutt on the back and followed after Sera with a smirk. Mutt laughed and fell into pace after them.

[Catilena1890]

Sera showed them around, giggling occasionally at their "bickering" every so often. She showed them everything from the underground apartments to the tops of the sky-reaching apartments. By the time they were done, the sun had set low and the sky was even more golden than the skin of Ra. Sera looked up at the sky and sighed.

"I love Morta sunsets. The city's lights are so soft that you can truly appreciate them." She said out loud.

[darkwolf117]

Dark looked up at the setting sun and let out a soft whistle. "Wow, that really is something," he said, taking in the sight.

Mutt grinned and clasped his hands behind his head and watched the sun as well. "Yeah it is," he said appreciatively. "Humans don't have a good enough grasp of what things they can find in nature. No offense to you," he added to Dark, with a small smirk.

Dark chuckled. "Don't worry, I gotta agree," he said. He let out a small sigh, weariness washing over him. It had been an awfully long day, now that he thought about it.

[Catilena1890]

Sera looked at Dark and noticed his fatigue. She smiled and floated away.

"I gotta get home, dinner's gonna be ready soon I bet. Why don't you two head home and get some rest yourselves? I`m sure you guys will have a big day tomorrow. Oh! I almost forgot. Here's a down payment for you Mutt, 10 Craws oughta get you a decent meal tonight. Here you go." She said, taking out several different colored objects that looked like a strange curled cone. She handed them to Mutt before floating home.

(OOC: I`m gonna make a thread for the Craws in a sec. It should be up by the time you read this.)

[darkwolf117]

Mutt looked at the craws curiously, picking one up and examining it, as Sera floated away swiftly. He gave Dark a glance, but Dark shrugged, not knowing any more about Mortan currency than Mutt did.

"Well, since Sera mentioned it, I am kinda hungry," Mutt said, looking around. "Shall we head to..." he tried to think of Morta's layout, "the Tourist section, I guess?"

"Alright, sounds like a plan," Dark said. They both headed off toward the Tourist section to find some place to eat.

[Phantom]

Lurking in the shadows, a sinister figure watched Dark and Mutt. He stared intently on his prey, waiting for his partner to begin. Suddenly, a bright light engulfed the two as Wing Eagle, carrying a flash bomb, appeared, gripping Mutt's shoulders and carrying him a fair distance away while the figure in the shadows rushed Dark, launching a devastating kick into his gut to render him immobile.

[darkwolf117]

"What the-?!" Dark muttered as a flash of light exploded near them. While his eyes tried to make out what was happening, he felt Mutt get lifted up by some clawed talons. As he was about to yell out to him, he was hit by a kick to his gut, and he doubled over, backing away from his attacker. As his eyes adjusted, he crouched somewhat, arms up and ready to defend himself.

Mutt, meanwhile, snarled and twisted around in the claws of the creature who had grabbed him. He swung his feet up, and kicked out at the flying creature, claws on his feet aimed to rake through its chest.
