Things hadn't been going great for Alice lately. She had just lost the latest job she had and money was tight. The woman was lucky to even have the small apartment she rented. Alice had been out all day scouring the city for a job. Nothing had turned up. A few applications to here and there, but no luck just yet. She had applied at a bakery, hopefully that would pan out. Then there was also the dreaded fast food places. Her small body frame shivered as she thought of that job.
Walking through the city left Alice tired. Her small 5'5'' frame ached. She only weighed about 110lbs or so and she thanked her fast metabolism for that. Today she dawned a black winter coat and light blue jeans. Her long, wavy, brown hair was back in a ponytail that swung with every step she took. Her deep blue eyes found the stairwell leading to the subway; the stupid, overcrowded subway. She loathed taking the subway to her street, but it was better than walking. As she entered the packed train, blue hues spotted a boy with...blue....hair. How odd. She thought to herself as she sat down in an empty seat. He was alone and everyone stood in a circle around him, but no one sat next to him. This struck Alice as odd. She shrugged her slender shoulders and she closed her eyes as her head leaned back. Now she could relax just a bit.

The train continued on until once it reached the third stop. Alice felt the train stop slowly. Her body moved almost robotic as she stood up and stretched. This was her stop and was she ever so glad to be here. Her feet quickly carried out of the train and into the busy station. She shivered from the cold air that seeped down into the drab station. Her blue eyes had spotted the boy with the blue hair once again. She bit her bottom lip before she began to walk towards the stairwell that would take her back to the world above.

Kier felt the train stop, and with the same robotic movement, he slipped out of the subway, and then out onto the station, his cigarette already in his mouth, as he fumbled with his cigarette, and he looked back for a second, seeing a woman looking back at him as he headed up the stairwell taking a puff from the barley lit tobacco stick, heading back into the night.

Alice found herself following after the man. Technically, she was just heading home, but he had walked up the stairs before she had. This made her feel awkward. He was going to think she was stalking him, but she was far from doing that. Carefully, she managed to pick up her pace and push pass the boy. Her blue eyes stayed on the stairs ahead as she reached the streets. Rather quickly, Alice turned the corner towards her hell hole of an apartment. Once around the corner, her pace slowed down. The night was nice, so she decided to enjoy it.

Kier blinked when the girl he saw looking at him brushed passed him, her eyes glued to the floor. But this was the city after all. Like the smokering that blew out from his lips, he gave it no mind. Standing in the night as well, he sighed, before giving a harsh cough. Glancing at his hand, the mixture of black and red splattered on his hand. Sighing he wipd it on his pants, looking out at the corner where the lady headed.

Alice had heard him cough. That random instinct she had always had told her to go back and see if he was okay. As usual, she ignored it. The guy could be some rapist for all she knew. Still, that cough had sounded bad. Her fingers reached behind her and she fumbled with the hair thing in her hair. Carefully, she took it out and her hair tumbled down her back. She swung it side to side, letting her scent fill the air. Little did she know, that might have been a bad idea.

Through the lingering stench of his own smoking habit, he caught the wiff of the scent through his nose. He paused long enough, but he closed his eyes, finishing off his drag and dropping the ash down onto the ground before he stampped it out. Rubbing his head, Kier looked at the corner again, before he looked up to the stars.
