A Little Rendezvous Around the City [Completed]

Character(s): Wolf, Raspberyl, open to anyone else
Content: Wolf takes a walk with Raspberyl to explore the city
Setting: In front of St. Destino's Hospital
Time: 10 in the morning, Week 20
Warnings: Not much

Wolf leaned against the building of St. Destino’s Hospital. He folded his arms and watched people walk around, minding their own business. Wondering if this place is even used, it’s so run down. Wolf guessed someone had to be running it. He did occasionally see some people walk in there. He reached down picking up his brown bag of breakfast goodies, still ecstatic that the cafes here had meat products. Wolf took out the bacon and eggs burrito then proceeded to chow down on it. Egg pieces flew everywhere in the process, but he didn’t seem to notice his animal behavior on eating.

After Wolf was done, he put his trash in the bin near the pillar, and walked back to lean against the wall. He wondered what other food they might sell at other places. He took out his beaten up brochure map and proceeded to look at the different type of places. Observing, some of the sights, what would the little demon girl like? Perhaps she’d be interested Folios Weaponry or The Glass Bonsai? Wolf seemed more interested in some of the places where they had food, although, he noticed the St. Destino church that was out in the open of Elysian Fields. That’d be a fun place to explore…if they can get to it. He continued to look at the map in interest, occasionally looking up to see if he spies Raspberyl.

Little did the Wolf know that he was being watched from across the street. Carefully spying on him for the past five minutes, Beryl wanted to know just what the person she was going to meet was like. "A bit of a pig," she thought to herself as a small chuckle left her lips, "but at least he's mostly harmless. This should be pretty fun." Cautiously, she began to move weave her way past the two trash cans. Waiting for him to turn the other way, she popped out into view before proudly ambling her way over.

"Howdy!" she exclaimed, wanting to get the first greeting in. "You might already know this, but I'm Beryl!" As she came up to him, she began to realize just how big their height differences were. Her partner for this evening was more than twice her own height! But oh well, that didn't matter. She was big in her heart, after all. "So, are you ready to go?"

Wolf turned around when he heard Beryl. He presented a wide smile to greet her, but was surprised to see no one was there. Although, Wolf’s nose detected where she was, and he looked down to see the cute little demon looking up at him. He blushed a little. Beryl is so little! He had to try his best to resist the urge to pick her up and swing her around. Wolf chuckled and kneeled down, “Hello Beryl! Pleasure to meet you in person!” He was excited to see a demon like her, he never met one up close, and so this was new experience.

The scruffy man took out the map and opened it, “Now, there are so many places here I was just looking at. I can’t decide which would be the most fun to explore. Which one should we go to first?” Wolf asked with playful grin.

Beryl blinked a little. She wasn't used to people kneeling down to talk to her, most of the time they would just look down and talk. She was a little unsure how to take it at first. She quickly decided that he didn't mean anything insulting by this gesture, and smiled realizing he was just trying to see eye to eye. It was a little polite maybe? At least she hoped it was.

"Well, that's sort of why I accepted your date," Beryl explained, "I don't really have any ideas what this place is like besides little brochure blurbs, and everybody knows those are always better than they sound. I want to go out and see what the city is really like."

"And... maybe check out the school here," she added with a sheepish laugh. After all, she did grow up in that environment for well over a thousand years...

Wolf nodded, understanding that she’d like to explore the city. After all, getting information about the place you’re staying at currently should be important. He looked at where she pointed and identified the school on the map. His parents home schooled Wolf, so he has never been to an actual school. He read a bit of the information listed about the school Matteus Academy.

“Hm, I never actually have been to a school myself, my parents were the ones who always taught me what I needed to know,” Wolf stated with a small smile.

Although it was probably a good thing Wolf never went to an actual public school. He’d imagine the kids would either torment him, or he’d be pulled into being a bully himself being that he is a wolf. He stood up and pointed in the direction of where they should go, “It shouldn’t be hard to find, according to the map it should be just north of here,” Wolf said, he closed the map, knowing where to head nodded to Beryl to follow, and started their adventure into the city.

Beryl trotted alongside her companion, taking a look at the city. Everything was like a serene version of her home: the fake trees swaying calmly, the delicate archways and floors bathed in sunlight, the lining of lamps for the night time. Though it was still soon to be homesick, everything in this new city reminded her of home. Yet, at the same time, reminded her that she was far away from anything that she was used to.

This thought was a little unsettling. "So, tell me a little bit more about your home world," she said quickly, hoping to get her mind on something else. "What are all of the nine kingdoms?"

As Wolf walked along, he observed the beautiful architecture. He was able to keep in close contact with Beryl by detecting her scent. Looking at the different art of animals along the wall is what really intrigued him. Wolf started to wonder if those creatures were considered legend around here. If so, then would he himself be considered one?

When Beryl asked the question, Wolf turned his head downward to look at her. He grinned, “Well my home world is a wonderful world of adventure. Every day, you live in the moment, for most people you will either live happily ever after or die of a horrible curse.”

The thought occurred the life style seems rather less complicated then it really seemed, but that’s how it really was where Wolf lived. Although, he was always up for an adventure himself, and decided to continue, “You see… our world consists of all sorts of beings that are important, such as the famous rulers of historic tale. Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Cinderella, all of them has a wonderful story and morals that are important to remember. There are also vicious villains in our background, such as the trolls, evil witches, and many others. But huff puff, I know there are always two sides to a story that are never told, I am lucky to find out some tales myself.”

Wolf scratched his neck and started to look in deep thought, about some of his own adventures and tales. He glanced at the girl who seemed intrigued and gave a smirk, “Oh but all my stories can be quite endless, so how about you? What’s your background?”

Beryl listen intently. After all, it wasn't every day that she got to listen talk about other worlds. She wondered about what Wolf's world look like. Breathing in the story, she imagined a large area with grand spaces, deep woods and snow-crested mountains. Towns, cities and castles littering the landscape, with designs and and structure that the Netherworld could never come up with.

Suddenly her musings were brought back to the walk, and the street and her companion. "Oh, my world? I come from the Nether Institute Evil Academy. It's a place where demons learn to be like demons -- skipping class, pulling pranks, that kinda deal. But not only am I the number one delinquent of my world, I'm happily one of the three to students to ever graduate!"

She plodded a few steps before adding, "I'm still deciding what to do now, seeing as the threat of brainwashing demons into delinquents is over and Mao has become dean, I guess I've been thinking about teaching, though. That might be fun. Of course that's after I go home. What do you do?"

Wolf listened to Beryl talk about her own world, it certainly sounded like an interesting place to live. He could believe that demons would have some kind of schooling, but as soon as he thought of it, demons typically acted at least similar to how trolls would, though a bit smarter. At least that’s what Wolf always thought, but he never approached an actual demon before. This cutie doesn’t seem intimidating in the least bit. In fact, he’d be surprised if she ever did something like a typical demon would.

When asked of what Wolf did, he took a slight pause, “Me?” As they walked he thought to himself, trying to think how to explain to her what exactly it was he did. Wolf sighed, trying to repress the memories of the Evil Queen that plagued him while trying to help Virginia escape back to the 10th Kingdom. He glanced slightly at her, his voice becoming soft, “It’s not really important, I just do what I can to get by.”

Wolf glimpsed upward and noticed that they approached their destination. Matteus Academy stood before them, looking like an impressive looking school. He smiled, “Well here we are! Looks like all types of kids go here,” he said watching people from different grade levels walk to and from class.

The demon listened intently, curious to hear how he would respond to her open-ended question. She was a bit disappointed at his response. How could what he did not be important? Of the many ways to answer, why did he choose to deflect? She puzzled over this as they approached a slight incline which lead to the school.

"Looks like all types of kids go here," Wolf answered merrily.

"Yeah, sure does," Beryl responded as she peeked cautiously over a small slate wall (though to her companion this was probably more like a rather large step). Her eyes quickly darted to the students. Students carrying bags and walking together. Talking about trivial things as they returned into the school building from lunch. The building itself was spotless, and had the glistening glow of academia. The little demon had never seen anything so grand, so perfect in all of her life.

"Is this really a school?" She asked, looking up at Wolf. "Is this how humans go to class? It's so... so..." her voice choked up in noticeable awe, "...badass."

Wolf observed the school’s environment. He noticed Beryl was really entranced by this place. He gave a small smirk, “Bad-ass, huh?” the scruffy man chuckled. Wolf leaned forward against the large step with his hands, and took a better look at the place. “Well certainly seems a lot of cleaner and neat than some of the other schools I’ve seen. A lot bigger too, I’m use to seeing those small school houses for the kids back in my world,” he said watching some of the college girls go by in their teasing little skirts.

Though it was hard, Wolf fought back the urge to growl, at the succulent girls. He smirked instead and glanced back at Beryl, “So, I’m guessing your school isn’t as shiny as this one?”

Beryl scoffed. "Of course not. The current dean is only, like, one of the biggest slackers that ever crawled out of the Netherworld. He's the number one dean of the school and is rude and lazy and all-around jerk. He'd never actually ask anybody to clean the Netherworld, and only weird delinquent demons would ever be caught dead doing actual work." She smiled a little as she said this, her eyes leaving the school around them for a second.

"He's here, you know." Beryl added finally. "I'm actually staying with him for now. At least until I find another place to stay."

Wolf blinked, the dean was a slacker? Well, that does sound accurate to what he thought demon schooling would be like, but taking in consideration for Beryl, it seems she wants a normal decent school system than what she previously had. Although Wolf looked a bit surprised to learn that she’s staying with the lazybones dean. He decided it wouldn’t be too rude to ask since he’s concerned, “Do you mind living with him?”

Beryl didn't mind the inquiry. "For now," she answered, "or for however long it takes for me to get adjusted... or when he kicks me out. We're rivals, but that means that we're pretty close. I'm pretty sure that before long we'll start bickering--I look forward to it, actually--but I do hope that before we really get on each other's nerves that I have a place lined up. Just in case."

Being thoughtful, she decided that it was a better question to ask... just in case his royal Maoness got irritated early. "Where do you stay?" she asked, "I've got the brochure about the places, but some of them seem a bit... pricey."

Wolf scratched his neck, “Well, I’m actually going to reside in apartment complex called the Iriela Apartments. I figured that be a fine enough place for me to live while I’m here.”

He didn’t mind living a normal setting. In fact he’d prefer one. Although he still needs to figure out what to do when the full moon rises. Wolf glanced at Beryl. Since she’s a demon she might be someone good to go to when he’s on that time of the month. At least, she’d probably be able to strain him from attacking anyone. It’d probably be very good to make friends with this girl. Wolf smiled politely and said, “You know, if he ever becomes too much for you, my door is always open.”

Beryl flustered mentally. Stay with him? Sure he was a nice guy and all, but it was still too soon to be staying in the room of another guy. And Mao would never let her hear the end of it...

...still, he was being very hospitable, and the offer seemed to be out of good faith. Maybe her doubt came from the fact that she wasn't used to this kind of charity? Sure she gave it to others all the time, but seldom had charity offered. She smiled a bit. At the very least, she should acknowledge his totally badass act of kindness. "Thanks, I just might have to hit you up on that," she said with a grin.

Her attention returned to the children entering into the building, and she was suddenly reminded that she hadn't eeaten saw one finishing his apple core before throwing it into a wastebasket before entering a building. "Hey, are you hungry? I could totally go for some lunch now, if you're up for it."

Wolf was glad that she took the offer. After all, it seemed like the right thing to do anyway. He perked up when she mentioned food. Wolf grinned from ear to ear, “Yea! I’m always up for a meal!”

The scruffy man immediately reached himself up and began to sniff the air for the nearest restaurant. He got a whiff of home baked cooking and succulent meat. Wolf jolted his head toward Porfavore's and pointed, “Over there! Wholesome meat!” he said with a growl. He jumped up from his spot and immediately started down the path, “Let’s go!”

Beryl stared for a moment as she's left behind. Who would have thought that mentioning food would have such a huge impact on Wolf?

Suddenly the realization hit home. "H-hey! Wait for me!" she bellowed as she began to chase down the rampaging carnivore-man.
