Rosemary hopped down the street. She was bored out of her mind and in the shady part of town. What trouble to cause and what to destroy was the question? She smirked as she looked at the various shops around. Daddy would have a heart attack if he knew she was here. Of course he wasn't ever going to leave the Wood because of mommy dearest. All right. Now she had to pick a target and go from there. It was boring doing it by herself though. The wolf sighed. Maybe there was someone else out there looking for trouble. Perhaps? She looked around the half deserted streets. There were a few people here and there. No one looked like her type of trouble maker. Her eyes lingered on a brown, yellow and purple figure. Well now, what was that? "Hey~!" Rosemary called out as she bounded forward. "Looking for something in particular Miss?" |

Rhiannon was lucid, which meant she was having a good day. A small smile curled across her muzzle, barely visible under the hard leather of her mask. Something about this place felt right to her, and she had an air of comfort about her that one wouldn't normally expect from a child wandering aimlessly in a place as dingy as this one. One foot in front of the other, she would find whatever it was that she was looking for here, that much she was sure of. Even if she didn't know what she was looking for. That part... Just didn't seem important now or ever. Rhiannon was a creature of action, and she rarely thought something out fully. It was far simpler to just go where her mind took her and deal with the consequences of that later. At the sound of a voice, her ear twitched slightly, one flattening against her neck while the other stood tall, an action that was becoming almost typical of the girl. " Are you looking for something? That's a question that would be much easier for me to answer, I think." the girl laughed, teeth appearing in her grin beneath the mask. " I'm looking for something, but it's not exactly particular. I just want to find... The world, and all the things in it." ... Well. That was strange. Maybe it was less of a lucid day than had originally been anticipated. |

"Oh really now?" Rosemary said with a happy lopsided grin. This could prove to be interesting. Hopefully much more than that. "I generally don't run into people like you in this part of town unless they're looking to do something shady."
She could have hopped up and down and danced really. This was absolutely fantastic! What a find! "Even so--I'm looking for something to do, somewhere to be, and someone to do things with. Think you can fill all those qualifications?"
Talking a mile a minute was normal for Rosemary, and she wasn't about to slow down unless it made this girl uncomfortable. She seemed fine with the fact that she was a King--then again the girl was a Heart. Most of the time Hearts had things against clubs and all that crap that Joe talked about.
"Oh! My name is Rosemary, I'm a traveling bard of sorts."

Rhiannon did notice the girl's suit, but more importantly, her rank. The girl saw her brother, Hadrian, as being her equal, and this strange Tulgey girl was a rank higher than he was! That was nothing if not demanding of her respect, and her tail began to sway from side to side cheerfully. Yes, yes, this pale girl was delightful! "Oh yes, this is a very shady sort of place, isn't it? The perfect place to watch for shady dealings... Sluts and pimps, drug dealers and addicts, all living their strange little lives."
Her eyes flashed slightly, mischeif filling her expression. "I want to see what happens when no one else is looking. I want to see pain and learn the secrets of death. Do you want that, as well? It would make an interesting song, of that I'm positive. If that kind of thing interests you then I do fill your qualifications." The wagging of her tail had picked up as her excitement grew. Watching darkness was interesting enough, but she wanted to share that experience with someone.
"I'm Rhiannon, and I just want to find things that other people shy away from." she replied simply.

"The path of darkness eh? It couldn't hurt to wander there for a while. I tend to walk the edge anyway. Shall we find some shading corner and watch some horrible happening? I'm sure there's a place where someone is being robbed or stabbed for what little they have in their coin purse." She nodded.
Life was but a game, and she was simply a girl who collected stories about them. She was happy someone came along to make things interesting. If they hadn't she would have been bored out of her mind the entire day. She glanced around the area. Dead silence seemed to creep into the atmosphere. There had to be something going on in this place during broad daylight. There was always something going on this this place--every place besides the wood even.
There was a small flash of red that caught the pink eyes of Rosemary. A flutter of a dress it seemed. "I think there's something going on over there. Shall we?" Rosemary held out a paw in the general direction what what she had seen.

Rhiannon's smile lit up in a way that could only be described as being truely deranged. Her pupil contracted, becoming a mere pin-point in a sea of amber, tail wagging much faster now. Today would be interesting, indeed! Someone to share an experience like this with... Ohohoho, how could she object? "I think that you will find it to your liking, if for nothing more than the entertainment value of it all." Who wouldn't enjoy watching the less fortunate flounder helplessly through their lives?
Rhiannon didn't notice the flash that had caught the eye of the other canine, but she was quick to move in its general direction, eager to find out what, exactly, it was. She hesitated beside Rosemary, slowing her tail and folding her wings a little closer to her sides. "Let's," she finally responded, and with soft and careful steps she hurried to the location of the... whatever it was.

Quickly and quietly Rosemary trotted forward. Red was the color of blood, which they would probably be seeing at least a bit of today. The wolf paused and held a paw out to show Rhi that they should stop for a second. She popped her head around the corner.
A woman in red was standing with her back to them. There was no other person in the alley, just the woman was standing there leaning against the wall. Rosemary tilted her head. Hadn't the woman been running a moment before? What would cause her to stop dead in the alley? Too bad there weren't an trees around... then she could have tested if that woman was just standing their to bait them.
Rosemary walked forward.
"Hey! You! Lady in red!"
There was nothing but silence. Rosemary had the sudden urge to poke her. She wasn't moving. There was something... unnatural about it. Maybe she should poke her?
"Well Rhi, waht do you think we should do with her?"

The hybrid froze when it was motioned for her to do so, ears flicking back against her neck. She first glanced at Rosemary questioningly, then turned to what she had intended to be their true quarry - the flicker of a dress that they had seen. So there was something! Rhiannon raised her head and let out a quiet growl, her grin twisting her lips away from her teeth. They had no way to tell if the woman would be aggressive, so the girl decided it was best if they got the upper hand in terms of showing that they might be small, but they meant business.
When they were ignored, Rhiannon's grin twisted into a snarl, and she growled again, hair along her neck and back bristling, wings flaring open to make her seem much larger and much more imposing.
"HEY! Lady, we asked you a question! Don't you know it's rude to ignore people?!" she glanced down, and seeing a rock there was quick to scoop it up, tossing it in the general direction of the red-clad figure. For some reason, having her new-found friend ignored just pissed her off.

The rock hit the woman in the back of the head with a horrible smack, she stumbled forward cursing. Holding the place where her head had been hit she let out a low, pained hiss.
Rosemary snorted. Well at least they knew she was alive. "So, are you going to answer."
The woman, A biped feline turned her head to see who was speaking at her. A little white wolf and a dog looking thing with wings. Marvelous. They were here to screw up her day weren't they? "Go away."
Rosemary was far to amused to walk away from this. "After being hit in the head by a rock that's all you have to say. Aren't you going to at least, you know... yell at us."
The woman turned around and continued to walk down the alleyway. Her hand was still clutching the spot that was hit. She was bleeding a little bit. Nothing serious though. Which meant Rosemary wasn't going to give up the chase. She trotted after the woman signaling to Rhiannon to follow.

So she was alive! Rhiannon cackled at the luck of her aim, smile curling brightly beneath her mask, previous anger forgotten almost entirely. Her tail began to wag, curled over her back in a sign of alertness. This was really starting to get interesting!
Her hackles raised as the woman stood and started to walk away again, and she let out a short but commanding bark, wings opening once more. "Yeah! Where the hell do you think you're going, anyway?!" she called out. She could smell the blood in the air, and it only served to excite her more. Not only had she managed a direct hit on the back of the woman's head, but she'd drawn blood as well... Her father would have been so proud. "You should have a little more passion about life, you know..."
As the strange woman turned to walk away from them, the hybrid quickly scooped up another rock, holding it in her mouth for the time. She was quick to realize that Rosemary had the air of a leader about her, and it reminded her of some of her favorite people. She was quick to follow the other girl's lead, falling into step behind her. If Rosemary motioned for it, Rhiannon would be quick to throw this rock as well.
