Shattered Pieces

The ravennette didn't care to travel the multiverse all that much. She'd rather explore her own world, figure out what was happening back home. But, she'd caved to the ever-so-faint niggling, the barest whisper at the back of her consciousness that she needed a break from temple-diving and transcriptions,...and now...she was in a city. But it wasn't a city she knew. Sure, it was cracked and worn and looked as though it had seen better days, but..it was still standing. It didn't seem to be horribly overgrown, like the ones she was oh-so accustomed to.

It took everything in her to keep her joy in check. Force it down as she would anything else, in favor of a tilt-and-turn of her head.

Albuquerque...a street name? Or- a city? At the very least, a marker of a location, but not one Tempest recognized. Dull brown focused on the stranger. A human.- There were no humans left. Couldn't be.

She couldn't put her finger on it, but something about him...

Not that he needed to eat ALL the time. It had been a week, and so his body was all but giving him the warning signs for lack of some form of sustenance.

"Philadelphia." The wind kicked up, and he shifted his head just enough to keep the hood settled over his auburn hair before he spoke again. "If you go about a block behind me, you'll reach the middle of the city. Not that I would recommend it..."

If one were to look, they might have even been able to spy the broken statue that stood atop the domed building. The head had been taken off by the vampire clan, who laid claim to it.

How was it he kept ending up in these places? The pure coincidence and irony had made the demon snicker to himself. This world was rife with death, chaos and so much more. How delightful. Another playground for him to do as he pleased. Discreetly of course. As always.

He had planned to explore for a little while, gain bearings and then see what he might have been able to do.

Yet it was a plan that stopped as abruptly as he did as he was bumped into. For a split second, there was an audible crackling in the air, so quick it might have been mistaken for something else before it all settled as Alastor looked the stranger over.

Although that smile was a bit unnerving.

“Can you blame a guy for trying to get to the food shelf before they close up?” He gave his own fanged smile. “At least I didn’t knock you over. I’ve been told I’m like a bulldozer in a china shop.. Or something like that.”

Despite their height difference, the fire demon has a bit more muscle than the other. The tip of his spade tail flicked absently before moving out of the way of another passerby to keep it from being stepped on. Those who usually walked the streets gave no shit about others.

They just wanted to get to their destination without being hassled by the creatures lurking this late at night. Some of whom had noticed the pair stopped in the middle of the sidewalk. Various shades of unnatural eyes had turned toward them.

I’m finding it difficult to find memes for nonverbal characters ( be they mute, or just not fond of talking ) so I thought I’d make a few!
