Step Up or Step Out.

[VIN CEN TIO]

[/i] fried dead grass as she neared one of the sides of the houses, a more clean and sturdy looking one. The damage from the heat was still present on the small what seemed to be one-two bedroom house. Leaning close up to the window she could just barely see in, to a fully furnished house. It would probably only be hotter in there though...

Sighing and stepping back she turned back towards the cracking street and made her way across the blanket of dead grass. [/size][/ul][/color]

[E (Alarice)]

The german shepherd padded her way through the city. Ah, it felt nice to just settle down in a town and know that she would spend a long time here. Lately she had been wandering back and forth between cities and settlements. Her mother was somewhere…and her father was somewhere…her sister had been with her for quite some time until they simply looked at each other. Saya, her sister, wanted to go back to the hometown where they were born and try to refind their parents and do everything over again. However, Alarice didn’t think that was the right choice. They were gone for a reason and for a reason they did not go back, so they just gave each other a long look and walked the other way.

This part of town didn’t seem as ‘upkept’ as the other parts, yet maybe that was why the female liked it. She was born and raised in the ghetto part of a city and always kept out of the ‘rich’ neighborhoods. They all were gated and fenced in along with trashcans with bars around them, like come on. Did they really have to have f**k**g bars around the trashcans? Yah, that was were she got some of her food however….bars? Also it was just a since of familiar environment.

Suddenly a scent was on the air and she lifted up her nose to the air. Nostrils enlarged and she picked up the smell of a female human. Oh great. Yah she wasn’t a huge fan of the Upwalkers, but there were some decent ones around. Stopping her body from moving she stood motionless and frowned. Well, if they were too much of a nuisance then she would just leave and be on her way. Hey, maybe they had food? A small rumble came from her stomach and she tucked her head into her chest and looked at the underbelly. Females usually weren’t that bad anyways for they tended to have more compassion than the males. With that thought she started to trot off toward the scent.

Tail was curled upward just a tad as the fea came into her view. Her legs stopped propelling her frame forward and she just gave the other being a blank stare. Beats of sweat were starting to form upon the pads of her paws as she stood on the concrete and simply had to get off of it. It was the sign she was waiting for and suddenly walked off toward the human. Muzzle opened and she yelled at, “Hey you! Yah you with the long fur. Have any food on ya?” Of course the other couldn’t understand her but maybe a good puppy look could bring out some food. Alarice walked up to her side and just walked beside her while looking up into her eyes putting on the sadness look that she could muster.
