Here Boy~ [Completed]

Character(s): Faye and Ein.
Content Faye goes to find human!Ein.
Setting: Paixao Central Station [J6]
Time: Wednesday2.
Warnings: Probably a bit of foul language on Faye's part :|

Faye slipped off of the train with no mishap. She wasn’t sure how they worked, nor did she know if she should have paid before getting on. It didn’t really matter – she would have found her way on regardless of her lack of money or if anyone had tried to stop her. Grinning at her little achievement, she remembered why she had gotten on the thing in the first place and frowned. Right… Ein. Human Ein.

“This is insane,” she groaned to herself, pushing past the other people in the area and heading away from the bustle and noise. She heard Ed was here. She knew Spike was here. And yet here she was, looking for the stupid mutt. In human form. She didn’t really believe it, but the conversation she had with him the night before… just hurt her head.

Well… stranger things had happened.

Able to get a pretty good view of the crowd, Faye cupped her hands to her mouth and yelled. “Ein! Eiiiiin! C’mere, boy!” She felt people staring and bared her teeth at them. Oh god, she really was going crazy. “Ein!!”

Short as his attention span was, it took Ein a lot of willpower to stay in one place for longer than a few hours. There were so many distractions for a lonely and hungry dog, especially the smells of various delicious foods. At one point, as he sat on the cobblestones outside the station building, Ein could have sworn he heard Ed talking. He jumped to his feet and craned his neck to see over the crowd, but the little redhead was nowhere to be seen.

Furrowing his brow, Ein debated whether to stay where he was or go looking for Ed. After a moment, he shook his head. Your hearing's not as good as it used to be, he told himself. It might not have been Ed. But you know Faye's coming. At least... he hoped she was.

Just then, the sound of someone calling his name drifted over. He turned towards the source and saw a familiar figure in yellow shorts looking around with a rather frustrated air. "Faye!" he barked, and with a happy little Rarf!, he shouldered his way through the crowd to her. "Hi, Faye!" he said when he reached her, his broad grin revealing the small fangs he'd managed to retain. For a brief moment, Ein was confused - Faye seemed different. Then he realized that it was because he was seeing her at eye level for the first time; he was the same height as her now. People looked different when you're about two feet tall.

Faye stopped what she was doing as she heard her name and a somewhat familiar bark. The crazy lady from the gate had claimed to be a wolf, but even she didn't bark! Faye shook her head. Why did the only contact she have in this place consist of dogs? Ugh, bad luck. Easy come, easy go.

Seeing the person emerge from the crowd, Faye's jaw dropped. "Ein?" She gasped, yet the look of absolute shock did not look like it was ready to fade just yet. It looked like Ein. But human. It was really... really...

"You've got to be fucking KIDDING me!" She laughed suddenly, holding her stomach. "You... you're - hahaha - human!"

She recognized him! Ein had been afraid he would have to do some convincing. Though he had to admit, he hadn't been expecting her to... laugh at him. Maybe yell or something. It wasn't very funny to him, so he really didn't understand.

"I look human," he corrected her, somewhat indignantly. "I don't know how it happened... I went through this door, and then I was here." He cocked his head, a very canine gesture. "How did you get here? Have you met any aliens yet?"

"Yeah, yeah, close enough," Faye said, laughter abruptly stopping as she shrugged. Whatever. Maybe it was just play along with all of this. Roll with the punches, so to speak. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. And more motivational things like that.

Faye narrowed her eyes at Ein before crossing her arms over her chest and looking to the side. She had been blaming all of this on Jet, but... now she wasn't so sure, given that everyone else was here. "I don't know, okay? And... aliens?" She lifted an eyebrow as she looked back at Ein. Yep. Everything was crazy.

Well, Faye didn't really have all the answers like Ein had been hoping. He should have known better than to expect as much, but he couldn't really help it. Maybe Ed would be more help when they found her - though Ein doubted it, as fond as he was of the girl.

He nodded enthusiastically to Faye's remark. "Yeah! I got some food from one a few days ago. She could fly and stuff." After his initial shock, Ein had accepted the idea of aliens quite easily. The evidence was right there, after all.

Suddenly, Ein noticed Faye's jacket. He blinked a few times, then bent down to get a closer look. "Did you get a new jacket, Faye?" he asked. It looked a different color than before. In fact, he wasn't sure he'd seen that color before at all. He didn't even know what it was called.

Blinking, Faye rolled her eyes. "... right." But she could humor the mutt. Former mutt. She was never really fond of Ein - of any of the Bebop crew, really - but she had to admit to herself, it was nice being around someone familiar. Not that she'd ever say that, of course. No one needed to see that she was going soft. Especially here.

She started when he bent to look at her jacket. "No, it's the same one I've always had," she said, pulling it up over her shoulders. "Maybe you were just too short to really see it."

Ein wasn't insulted; she was right, after all. "Maybe," he replied, straightening. He grinned again, despite himself. Finally, a friendly face! Well, kind of. Friendlier than the alien girl, anyway - and MUCH nicer than the scary silver-haired guy. Ein shuddered a little at the memory.

"Do you have any money?" he asked. "You need money to stay in places." Up to now, Ein had been sleeping outside or in whatever makeshift shelter he could find. Unfortunately, that hadn't been enough for the rainstorm last night. He was still a little wet.

Disgusting. She didn't know what was worse - a grinning dog or a grinning dog in human skin. The whole human-thing was going to make their relationship a bit difficult. They were eye-to-eye now in stature. It was creepy and weird and Faye just needed to stop thinking about it because it was never going to make sense.

"Do I look like I have money?" Faye sighed, turning her pockets inside out. She had been sleeping on benches like a hobo. Oh, she would have killed for a pillow - or better yet, a shower.

Though Ein didn't yearn for a shower (can't miss something you've never had), he could empathize with Faye. Sleeping outside was unpleasant, and they needed to remedy the situation. Quickly, if possible.

His mouth twisting in a half-frown, Ein tried to order his thoughts logically. There were two options, as far as he could see: search for the others and hope they were faring better than Faye and him, or somehow get money - legally or otherwise - and take care of creature comforts first. He explained his reasoning to Faye. "What do you think we should do?" he asked. Personally, he wanted to look for Ed, but he doubted Faye would want to come along, and he didn't want to get separated from her.

"I guess..." Faye trailed off, thinking. Did she REALLY want to go find Spike? Sadly, he'd be the one to go to for ~~help~~ money. She reasoned that she could always use him as a decoy while she made off with someone else's loot... and if anything, she could beat his head in for being so damn stupid and making her waste bullets that should have gone into his back.

She let out a long sigh that emptied her lungs. "I guess we could go find Spike and then... get money, somehow. Maybe check out if this place has any bounties." Or track down Ed. Ed could become an asset given the electronic devices they were handed... looked like it was time to hunt down the Bebop crew.

Oh yay! Ein did an odd little dance, hopping from foot to foot (and almost losing his balance in the process). Any slights Faye had made against him in the past were conveniently forgotten for the moment. Right now, she was his favorite person on the planet... whatever planet they were on.

"Okay," he said. "We should stay close to the tracks, I think. They lead to the gates - I saw it on the map." It was nice being able to talk now - he could tell people what to do.

Oh god, he even danced like a dog. Faye pinched the bridge of her nose. This was going to be embarrassing for her, she imagined. Maybe once they found Spike she could make him babysit the... mutt. Human. Thing.

"Spike has one of these things," Faye smirked, hefting the portable device in her hand, "So we can probably convince him to tell us where he is rather than running around this whole place." It was just a matter of whether Spike would cough up his location. The ass. Her face fell momentarily as she looked at Ein. That was going to be something to explain. "I'm uhh... sure he'll be interested in seeing you."

"And Ed!" Ein added. "Don't forget Ed." Though it would be a good idea to find Spike - he always seemed to know what to do - Ein was on only slightly better terms with him than with Faye. Sort of. Ed was probably the sole person who would be glad to see him.

Ein pulled out his own journal and, seeing no seats readily available, plopped down on the ground. He flipped it open and began to poke around the network, searching for a familiar name.

Faye stopped herself from sighing again. Started to hurt. Smoker's lungs and all. "Right. Ed. Sure." She wasn't a top priority, but the kid would be able to keep an eye on Ein and make sure he didn't get into trouble. Not that she cared, really.

"Uh, wait a sec," Faye said, kneeling, and making a grab for Ein's journal. "Why don't you leave the typing for someone who can actually... type." There wasn't room for argument. Spike probably wouldn't believe Ein, anyway. Of course, that implied that he might believe HER, which was a long shot.

"I'm getting better!" Ein insisted, holding the journal out of Faye's reach. He would have said more, but he leaned too far to one side in an attempt to escape Faye's clutches and fell over. The journal clattered to the ground a few feet away, causing Ein to yelp and make a mad scramble for it before Faye got hold of it.

((ooc: You can go ahead and snatch it. X3))

"So? You still type worse than a drunk," she growled, annoyed that he dare try to stop her from taking the journal. With relative ease she nabbed it from its position on the floor and tucked it under her arm, smiling. She'd give it back - the thing had no value - but she was going to be the one to bug Spike.

Opening her own journal, Faye brought up the messaging program. Ignoring the hints of a major headache on the verge of arrival, she searched for his name and began to type. The ass better respond, or else she'd... find something horrible to do to him.

((ooc: Hey, would you mind starting a new thread so that Spike can join on in? :D ))

((Sure! ..Oh wait, you mean me? ...Right now? >.>))

((Would that be okay? I can always do it! XD ))

((Yeah, it's okay. I'll do it over lunch. *is at work right now*))
