Day 49: Morning - Main Street

[prodigalson]

[From here.]

Easily forgiven? Unlikely. A pair of (presumably) mental patient committing theft. No, it was highly unlikely they would be easily forgiven. Conscience-wise? It wouldn't even stain his thoughts, really. Nothing like ten years of judgemental slaughter to make your mind jaded against the simpler crimes in the world.

Either way, it could prove to be... okay, he didn't want to say fun because not much about Venom was even slightly amusing (and Edward was very much ignoring the teenage part of him that was all ready to rebel), but it could prove to be adventurous. Especially since he didn't have the agility nor the power to make the feat easy. Having Alice play the stock market wasn't exactly the most hands-on way of stealing after all. It couldn't really be called stealing, after all... it was just using her naturally-created gifts to further the family's fortune.

So his morals were a little skewed. That was okay with him.

Once he'd left the polluted bus behind him - fresh air, thank god - he smiled to see the sky completely overcast, the smallest drops of water misting through the air. He shrugged into the obnoxiously bright raincoat he'd been given, tucking the coupons and the untouched breakfast into one of the pockets, covering his face with the hood. The suit he was wearing was a little worse for wear, but the vampire wasn't exactly looking forward to marching around damp.

Waiting just off to the side for Venom, Edward surveyed what he could see of the town so far. It didn't seen very big... which was good, he supposed. That way it would be easier to navigate. Now that the first order of business had been planned, they would need to find the right outlet for their theft opportunity.

"So do you!" Sora shot back with a frown. Besides, chances were all of his coupons were soaked by the rain already. Unless the raincoat was really that good at keeping the water out, because the pieces of paper were shoved in his pocket. Even though he knew Riku was teasing him just because he felt like it, Sora always felt almost obligated to respond in some way.

He wasn't sure what Riku had in mind at this point, but he could tell that his friend had some sort of idea cooking in that head of his. But right as he was about to ask him about it, a nurse came up to them.

"I know you two are close," she said with a smile, "but don't you think you should go find other people to talk to today?"

Sora couldn't help it. He gaped at the woman, not quite certain of what to say. He and Riku hadn't even been doing anything wrong. Before he could think of any sort of response, the nurse grabbed his shoulder and started to steer him away.

Just as he stepped forward, Riku felt a hand on his own shoulder. His first instinct was to lash out, but he took control of himself and merely clenched his hands into fists. What he wanted to do was explore something interesting around here, but it was obvious that wasn't going to happen. Just as they finally got around to cutting it to the right details, his friend was taken away from him. It wasn't difficult for him to crane his head back a little and glare at the nurse.

Of course, the woman just smiled serenely in return. "Being antisocial isn't going to help you, Adam."

"I thought I was socializing just fine." With his friend, but at least he was with someone instead of lurking around alone. The nurse didn't know how big of a deal that was for him.

He gave a final glance in Sora's direction before tugging away from the nurse, a muttered promise slipping out about how he'd try to find someone new to talk to.
