The rush and always present crowds that forever filled the mall and annoyed the teenager to a fault. His fingers twitched in anticipation as a group of preteens walked past him that followed with a fit of giggles and flirty glances back. His eyes rolled and he took another drink of his blue slurpee. In all looks his visit to this place was purely recreational, although to the trained eye would notice how his eyes were constantly flicking at the store entrances.
Business, as usual. A tip came in a little over an hour ago reporting a sighting of one of the avians being here. It was taking a little too long in Cain's opinion, there would have been a sighting by now, he would know. His deliberate memorization of every face of the avian race the lab had to offer was necessary in his line of work.
Sighing in a huff he slouched forward and rested his chin over his crossed arms. 'God I need a cig..I'll give this another five minutes and I'm gonna check out.' This time he looked around he noticed someone was watching him, unamused, his glared met the eyes of another man who smirked and gave him a wink. Quickly, Cain turned away and faced the other direction, catching a glimpse of himself in a reflective tray. Of course he cared about how he looked, but not in the way most people did. His style was simple and effective, keeping him under the radar. His long dark brown hair with bleached blond underneath complimented the rough stubble under his prominent cheeks bones. With a black button up long sleeved shirt and dark pair of jeans he leaned toward casual and fashionable side.
"Come on pigeons..Come out and play with me.."

She rubbed her eyes as she explored under the ceiling's fluorescent lights. The last time she was here, she met up with Fox whom she ended up hanging out with for the rest of that day. It was a pretty good time and it was very nice to actually relax. Even if it was the Vigil leader himself. She made herself doing some odd jobs such as washing windows, arranging clothes, and alike to get some extra money for food. With her bird genes that contributed well with her height, Kiyunalia was able to get those jobs since people tend to assume her at least 16/17 years old. She wouldn't want to get a permanent part-time, however. Not with her being on the run from Erasers and Whitecoats.
Her stomach was calling to her when she saw the signs of the foodcourt. With a few bucks in her pocket, it shouldn't be too much to spend on something to munch on. She paid for several cinnamon-sugar coated pretzels and a plain sourdough (for her two rats) and a nice green slurpie. Her sudden craving for sweet things (especially Sour Patch Kids) made her wonder as she chowed down her pretzels if there's a candy shop in the mall. Nevertheless, she has the time to fully go through the mall.
Her mind then suddenly went blank just a split-second as she felt a strong Eraser vibration nearby. She couldn't recognize a specific one she knows. Perhaps a new one? .... Better yet, is he/she even aware that with the SWAT Team around, the last one you want in this place is a brawl between bird freaks and wolf guys??

Dakota was perched in the oddest place you could find in the mall. You know those little stand up letters, like that ones that go like this; &. Well, she was sitting on the top loop of it. She'd already been told twice to get off of it, and once taken to the "mall jail" and had to call home. But, she was still staying where she was.
But, eventually, her interest in breaking the rules died, and she started around the mall, trying to detect if there were any-- Eraser. Close. She went on edge, and spotted him sitting on a bench. Crap. >_<

The scent of high winds and feathers tingled in his nostrils as he sat completely still in the food court, instantly he knew. There were too many witnesses in the building of course to take any action beyond stalking his newfound prey. His gray eyes flitted across the area in a attempt to pick up any different auras that would stand out in such crowds.
The people around him suddenly became shining with different colored lights that represented their true emotions. Dull reds of anger, a couple deep blues of grief, but what Cain was looking for was a specific shade of yellow. The world grayed over as the only color was the auras, scanning over the rest of the food court he smirked devilishly. " And..Bingo." He whispered to himself letting his dark bangs fall over his face. 'So now I wait for her move..'

Fox walked into the mall, the automatic door's opening letting a blast of warm air hit him, causing him to feel the twang in his chest from his past bullet holes. He sighed as he remembered the fight he and Jehte had had against the S.W.A.T and chuckled, rubbing his chest. He yawned and froze, smelling a eraser in the food section. Fox quickly walked over to the food court and zoned in to the eraser who was sitting down drinking a slurpee who seemed to be concentrating on something. Fox walked over to him and sat down, tapping him on the shoulder. "What you looking for?" Fox asked

Dakota stopped, knowing that she was being watched, and her mood flashed to anger. The NERVE of some Erasers, to jsut stare her down like she was... Some food. She needed a break, for once, it was impossible to get a rest, so she growled, and narrowed her eyes at the Eraser, and sensed that her theory was correct, he was watching her. She was about to go over and tell him off, when another Eraser came in through the door. She didn't need to see who it was to know. The smell was easily recognizable now.
Fox.
So, we had two Erasers in here, and so far only one bird kid. That was the odds she was talking about, the disadvantages of being a loner. The oddities. She glanced around, and something triggered in her mind. She wasn't the only bird-kid, she glanced around and found her. Good, at least she'd have some kind of reinforcements. She glanced at the boy from the corner of her eye. He was still staring. She wanted so bad to tell him off, but then Fox walked up to him, and she thought otherwise. Then again, the chances of a fight here were low. SWAT was everywhere, because of that one situation a few years back. She smirked, didn't that include Fox in some way?

Cain shivered at the touch, he hadn't noticed the presence of another eraser as it came close to him, but now the smell was unmistakable; too concentrated on the hunt. He craned his neck with a tilt to the side, looking over the young male. The silver and brown hair was a distinct feature to this guy, not to mention he carried an aura filled with strength and surprisingly his color was a light blue, calm..
Blinking tightly for a moment Cain felt the power shift and dissolve, leaving everyone back to their normal, well define normal, selves. " Well if it would be the great alpha, come to chat with the common folk.." His eyes snaked their way back to the girl eating sweets like there was no tomorrow, his smirk never failing. "Just doing a bit of light hunting Fox.. And you, what are you looking for?"

Fox watched as the far away gaze left Cains eyes, a smirk replacing it. Fox snorted at his comment, "Actually i quite, I'm a free agent now, so i guess I'm a common folk to." Fox said and chuckled, "Lite hunting?" Fox asked and took in a deep breath and smelt Ki and Dakota in the area and laughed, "Doesn't seem so lite if there are two here." Fox said, "And actually I'm not sure, just got bored and decided to come here and smelt you, so i came over." Fox said, his eyes flickering in the direction Cain was looking and chuckled when he realized it was Ki digging into the food, but decided against calling out to her

Dakota glanced at the Erasers. The other boy, he had a sharp sense of violence amoung him, and a little bit of playful addition. She sweared lightly under her beath. She was NOT going to deal with an Eraser in the middle of the Mall. She noticed that the boy's attention was previously on another bird girl, one that Dakota couldn't recognize. She glanced at Fox, and he looked like he was going to start cracking up.
Dakota walked over by Kiyunalia and sat down in the chair across from her, putting her head in hands. "Two Erasers, south," She muttered, looking up at Ki. "They're least likely to bother us if were in the same location," She smirked crookedly. "Dakota." She quirked, glancing up at Ki and then throwing a glance at Fox and the boy.

Cain scoffed and rolled his eyes, grabbing his slurpee and resting it upon his lower lip momentarily. "Wasn't planning on tagging them right here, just seeing about a report..." The two female birds would be able to spot him out easily by now, at least the young and cocky male knew better than to try anything here. He expertly hid the need to snort in laughter recalling of hearing about Fox's memorable visit here. Sipping the iced drink his hair tried to drift toward his eyes for what seemed the millionth time that day. Setting the drink away from him yet not exactly putting it down he growled softly as he flicked it away yet again and said in his everyday egotistical voice. " So.. You're a free agent? What does that imply? No group pack or, leaving home? "
Being raised in a hell hole that tormented and pushed you till you could almost die and then rebuilding you back to health again just to repeat the process over again. Yeah that was what he considered his home, it was still his second year out in the "real world" as was he was. The days had somehow slipped seamlessly together feeling more like a couple of months as the taste of this slight freedom was still fresh in his mind. His unstable mind was the main force that had kept him in the labs so long, but that was probably caused by the parents, as Cain liked to refer to the scientists as.
Even without the special secondary eyesight could feel the raw red anger rippling from above, obviously the second. He finally set his drink down and began tapping his fingers on the tabletop rather impatiently. 'Ughh....I need a smoke, damn complainers making stupid laws against one of my limited joys.' He returned his gaze to Fox.

Fox waved his hands in mockery, "Suuure you weren't." He said, and looked back over, seeing Ki and Dakota sitting next to each other whispering and chuckled, waving over at them with an evil grin. He turned back to Cain as he finished asking his question, "All of the above. I'm sick of the school and their condescending manner to everyone they 'make'. It absolutely sickens me." Fox growled, looking up at the sky light. "It's good to know that for my remaining 5 years I'm free from orders and them." Fox said with a smile, and then looked back down to Cain. He saw the look of impatience in his eyes and chuckled, "What you so hyped up for?" he asked, pointing to his jittery fingers

He decided to let the whole lightly mocking go unanswered and upon hearing the next words he paused for a moment. The initial shock of someone quitting the ranks of the brother was enough to make him stare at him bewildered. In all his year as an Eraser he had heard of any of them leaving. ' And with such short lifespans, what was the point?' Cain couldn't even see the possibility of finding pleasures in this world and only was thankful he wouldn't last too long anyway you could look at it. His brooding thoughts were interrupted by Fox inquiry onto why his finger's couldn't stop tapping feverishly. "I'm not hyped up just in need of another Newport...Planning on heading outside for a bit in a minute for one."
Newport were his favorite of any brand of cigarettes and he would bother with any others now that his addiction was starting to entangle him. Of course he enjoyed smoking or else he wouldn't have bother to keep it up long enough to get an addiction albet not on purpose.

Kiyunalia glanced at the girl who suddenly got next to her. When she whispered about two Erasers nearby, Ki realized her as a bird kid. One that she hadn't met before. "I'm Kiyunalia." she introduced herself after the new girl did.
"I doubt they'd do anything too irrational. The SWAT Team are pretty nearby so I don't think they want to do anything that could get them shot multiple times." she smirked, remembering what Fox told her about his most notorious visit in this mall. She licked her fingers clean of the remaining cinnamon sugar before wiping them onto her napkin. "I'm not really one to fight unless it's VERY necessary. So I tend to spend more time trying to find ways to leave out rather than stay and actually kill someone."

Post by Tagg on Mar 4, 2009 21:30:06 GMT -5
Tagg was keeping dibs on the SWAT team. She was a bit mad at them for not killing Jehte when they had the chance. Ah well, more time for her to do it herself. Her green eyes, bright with an edge of insanity, flicked between the three well-concealed men and one women. They weren't very smart at what they did, she could see the bulges of their rifle's underneath their clothes. Deciding that they weren't going to move, Tagg's focus flicked then to the food court where she could distinctly smell quite a few erasers and some birds. She loved the food court. Always something new to eat. Granted, it might not be dead yet, but the fresher the better. Seeing Fox, and another, different eraser that she had never met, Tagg headed toward them. She made sure to brush right past the bird's table, almost knocking a drink on the floor as she went. Normally she would try to stay concealed, but they always recognized her anyways. She smiled slightly, flicking a wisp of her hair out of her face, and greeted the two. She was curious about the newer guy, even more so than the birds or the SWAT. Maybe someone new to fight? She pondered, her own personality on the very edge of insanity. Blood, killing, and fighting was all she ever thought about anymore.

Dakota smirked faintly, glancing at Fox and the new boy who were talking. She could tell by their expressions and emotions, which she had inadvertently tuned into, that she relaxed a bit. "Yeah, but that new boy. He... He's intent," She confided, sideways glancing at them. "And, I would suggest getting used to fighting. With Fox and this new kid, they're probably considering a hunting spree soon," She smirked, putting her feet up on the chair next to her.
Just then, someone walked by the table, and the full on scent of Eraser hit her. She growled, and her hand shot out and caught a glass before it hit the ground, setting it back at the table. She was about ready to tell her to watch where she was walking, when she saw the bright green eyes, and decided against it. Tagg. Crap. Dakota slumped in her chair, feeling crappy. Three against two were NOT great odds, and they'd probably be hanging out with eachother, and if she left by herself...
"You wouldn't mind if... I hung out with you, right? I just... Have a vibe from the new boy, and I have a feeling if we leave by ourselves he's going to come after us," She looked away from the others, and looked at Ki, frowning. "Three against one isn't the best odds, but two against three would be much more manageable," She smirked. "But, if you decide to leave with before that new boy leaves, you'll probably be in for a treat," She warned. "He's blood thirsty, he wants a fight," Dakota said, warily. "And with Tagg and Fox, he'd probably get that wish."
ooc: OMG! That's like... My best post ever on this site. I have a heck lot of muse.

Kiyunalia sighed when Dakota made her first statement, "It's not that I'm not used to fighting. I mean, I've gone low enough to have pity fights with stray cats but that's mostly because my two rats are extreme feline-magnets compared to the rest of their species. Anyway, it's that I've been getting tired of constantly fending myself from basically anyone that wants a fight from me. I know it's not going to stop anytime soon, but something's bound to change in the future."
She sipped the last of her slurpie as she sensed Tagg nearby. 'Ugh...' she groaned. As if the new Eraser, who already seemed to have a sadistic streak from the look of him, wasn't already bad enough. With Tagg around, it's always a mess with her. .... Where's Jehte when you need her?
"That's why I'm not going to leave this mall. At least until closing time. But then again, I heard that the SWAT Team works overtime near the mall...." Kiyunalia decided, "You can stay with me if you like. Since we're likely going to get in a brawl anyway, we might as well have each other's back when doing so."
She took another glance at the three Erasers around them before turning her head back to Dakota, "So how long have you been on the run? I mean, every bird kid has their childhood involved being tortured by the whitecoats and plenty of them had escaped. There has to be some story to it."

Dakota smirked. "Cats? Seriously? Rats that attract cats..." She paused, and shrugged. "I fight hobos, mostly because they want money, and usually the most I have on me is five dollars, but that's usually when I rob a few hobos on the way," She smirked, shifting into a comfortable position in her chair. "But your right, in the future, either we'll be dead or the Erasers will."
Dakota quirked as she heard the next comment. "Thanks," She said, glancing at a guy in uniform who was obviously trying to eavesdrop on the conversation. "But, the SWAT's pathetic, so they'd probably fall asleep," She joked, glancing at the Erasers. "And thanks again, I wouldn't want to try and go against the new kid, and Fox, and Tagg by myself," She smirked, playing with her hair. "They'll probably be the first to approach, so hope for that," She smirked, obviously pondering why that'd be good.
"Ever since I was ten. But, I was kind of... A different experiment. My parents..." She swallowed. "They were on the Eraser's side. I think they were trying to make a bird-kid that'd betray the others," She shrugged. "I ran away and came up here, because I had heard rumors," She sighed. "That's the basic story, you don't want to hear the details," She pondered, leaning back on her chair and muttering to herself.

Shifting uncomfortably, Cain could feel someone feeling his aura. It wasn't the the first time, although outside and not in the labs it was completely new experience that honestly made him feel nauseas with the strange sensation. ' I wonder if this what other feel when I check their moods?...No way..I only look, this feels like I'm being touched.'
His gaze flashed back to the birds that were now sitting together, he glared and knew it had to do with them. His blood boiled in spite, but thankfully a new distraction appeared before him. A young woman, Eraser by the looks of it, seeing little white, and sharp teeth within the small smile. Before she had even reached the table he knew she had the body of a fighter, ' Interesting..' He covered the uncomfortable feeling and recovered his smirk of a smile, honestly, even he doubted he could smile like a normal person all nice and shit.. "Well hello there."

Fox rolled his eyes, "Whats up with you adults and smoking? I mean seriously! Whats so good about it?" Fox pestered, confused about the whole smoking thing. From what he had heard, smoking wasn't good for you. He sighed, not caring if he smoked or not and breathed back in, his eyes widening, he had smelt Tagg. He turned around and saw her walking towards them and a smile split across his face. He now knew that this day was not going to be boring.
