[center][h2][color=tomato]Ezekiel "Ease" Evans [/color][/h2][/center] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/jfirhxO.png[/img][/center] Ease threw around the bag of coins he had in his right palm in an almost absent minded manner. His eyes were still fixated upon it, but it was almost as if the coins were something else. Something more interesting. He entered that familiar dazed stat he went into when his mind had nothing else to focus on. Random thoughts flowing through that head of his, trying to find a particular one to focus on...Something to put his mind to and to help distr-Then an actual real pair of teeth bore down into his arms skin. "Pay attention!" [color=tomato]"Ow! You little squeaking bastard...That hurt!"[/color] Ratatosk, in a bid to snap him back to the real world, had bitten him once again. He quickly caught the bag of coins that flew into the air as not to lose it, and started to rub the spot the squirrel had bitten. Felt wet...great, he was bleeding. As he gave his companion an annoyed look, Ratatosk simply let out a sigh instead. "You were zoning out again. And we can't have that happening." [color=tomato]"And your response every time that happens is to bite me because...?"[/color]"You're a damn good chewing post." And Ease proceeded to sigh as well. He'd be more bothered if it wasn't for the fact that Ratatosk was right. Every week, there was a designated day. Well sometimes two days. On that day, Ease was to go and search for any info regarding any recent important activity and how to gain ability to it. On top of that, he also needed to look for info on any news regarding that strange place he called "Earth." And by strange, he meant the normal place that the freaks here would call strange with all their strange tools and scientific witchcraft. At least, that's what he'd assume they'd say if they ever saw it. On top of that, there was another pressing issue. The stone give to him by Ira seemed to be either malfunctioning or in need of a recharge. Or at least according to Ratatosk. They had a temporary stone keeping everything together back home, but that would only last so long. They needed to investigate the more permanent stone soon before that shack becomes nothing but splinters again. Thankfully the streets seemed lively today and merchants were everywhere and plentiful. One of them had to know how these stones worked. Not to mention, merchants meant customers and customers could be magical in nature. There should be someone that has info on this... "Why is there such a big crowd?" Ratatosk uttered. Ease looked up from inspecting his wound to notice a large crowd gathered in a circle for...some strange reason. It seemed they were surrounding something. There seemed to be a lot of talking so maybe an argument or a fight? He went over to a thinner section of the herd to get a better look at the scene. His stature was a saving grace. The sight granted by it made it far easier to see what was going on. It seemed to be 3 women and-[color=tomato]" Wait, what the hell?!"[/color] The man standing there was a black haired kid, hair unkempt and ruffled. His face wasn't anything spectacular, but his clothing...they weren't Lugunica. They [i]couldn't[/i] be Lugunica clothing. Ease's mind froze for a sec as his mouth went agape. This can't be real. Could this really be happening? [color=tomato]"Holy, fu-!"[/color]Before he could utter his incredibly loud curse, he was once again bitten by Ratatosk. When he looked down at his annoying offender, he was surprised to see him making a shushing motion with his paw. Oh right. Yelling right now would probably attract bad sorts of attention. Damn you easily excited mind. And then he realized, "Oh yeah, he looks completely new and is caught in an argument and one weird...horned lady made the thought of fighting him" Shit, how did he get himself in trouble when he seemed so...fresh? Distraction, distraction, distraction. And he just mentioned how they must hate him. [i]God dammit![/i] Only one solution...Ease walked into the center of the crowd and put his best relaxed and cheery face on. [color=tomato]"Oh hey, hey. S'up there man! Been looking for you all over! Oh uh...what's going on? *does a quick jab to Kyle's shoulder* Were you playing jokes again?"[/color] Ease said in the most obvious tone he could maintain. He also nonchalantly put his hand to his mouth so only the black haired kid could see and mouthed "roll with it". [@dabombjk] [@lunarlors34] [@seirei no hai] [@spriggs27]
