"Are you sure about this?"
Dog was glaring at Rooster as he led the way to some weird alley, filled with overturned rocks and a dumpster that stunk to the high heaven. He was grinning from ear to ear and nodded.
"Of course I am, my dear," he purred to her, leaning against one of the walls and tucking his hands into the pockets of his jeans. "Have I ever been wrong before?"
Dog rolled her eyes and plopped down on one of the rocks, tugging free a pack of cigarettes and lighting one up while they waited.
"After all, with our powers combined--"
"Shut up."
Rooster tried to look hurt, but the strange puppy dog look faded away as he laughed, tossing his head back in genuine amusement. "What? I was just going to say that we are UNSTOPPABLE!"

Drake would be roaming the streets aimlessly. He wasn't really exploring or looking to go anywhere in particular. He was just getting away from Dime's pestering if he was ok, and her stupid need to help the 'less fortunate' fucking idiots, if they couldn't survive here, they would've been doomed to death back home. Fuck them man. He doesn't need to do charity to work to feel good about himself. So, off to the streets he went. Just another fuck off day full of bullshit.

Rooster and Dog remained in their places, Dog enjoying her cigarette and Rooster whistling some stupid tune, until Drake began to walk by. He nudged his companion and grinned at her, winking. Dog rolled her eyes as he pushed himself off the wall and walked up, hands still safely tucked in his pockets, grinning from ear to ear.
"Hey, mate. Pleasure to meet you." Rooster stood at a shocking six foot six inches, towering over Drake, but his posture was anything but hostile. "You probably don't know me, but it's all good. I've got a friend who wants to talk to you."

"Pass."
Drake would say without stopping, only stepping around the individual that had stepped in front of him.

Rooster cocked a brow, but did not seem deterred. He began to move to walk backwards with him as he tried to pass him by, and then continue with his speech.
"I'd like to say it took a lot to find you, but it really didn't. And I'm sure we'd like to make this all easier for everybody involved. You know?"
Dog remained on her rock, snickering slightly at Rooster's failing attempts. She didn't even bother to get up.

"Really not interested. Thank, have a good day."
He would say so monotonously that it almost sounded pre-scripted.

Rooster furrowed his brows and paused, glancing back at Dog in confusion. She was laughing quietly, giving a shake of her head. She waited until he started to move near her, and held up her pack of smokes.
"Hey, Sudeki. Want a smoke?"

THAT would get Drake's attention and he would freeze dead in his tracks. For the first time he would turn around and get a Good Look at these two.
"How the hell you know my name?"

Rooster's soul was vibrant, loud, and almost... multi-colored. Purples, blues, and even a few yellows all mixed in together in what would look almost like a peacock's feather. It would be painful to look at... and it would hide the darkness beneath fairly well. However, at his core, there was the crimson color of blood, of lust and violence. The only other dark shade was something that looked almost like a shadow around his neck, like a collar, that led away into the darkness of the world and disappeared. Looking at his soul, it would appear that he was a collared dog, and that the owner at the other end of the leash was... somewhere.
Dog, on the other hand, had a soul full of an inky blackness, full of corruption of a totally different kind. There was no hate or sickness, no intrinsic evil in her soul. Instead, there was some kind of strange black tainting the vibrant red of her soul. This girl was a fighter, strong down to her very core, but she had done something that had marked her for the rest of her existence. She, too, had the strange shadow of a collar and leash around her neck.
Rooster turned to Dog with a triumphant grin, as if he had succeeded. She gave a shake of her head and continued to hold the pack of smokes up in offering to him, taking a deep drag off of her own.
"She was told," he said, approaching Drake once more. "Don't actually know who by. Probably Rabbit, huh? Or maybe one of the others, I dunno. But, anyway. The whole point of this was the thing I mentioned before. We've got a friend, and he'd love to meet ya. Have a nice sit down chat, iffin ya don't mind much!"

Drake would ignore the altogether approaching to the woman and accepting her smoke offer. He would look at the tip of the cigarette and with a flash it was lit and he started smoking it.
"Why are you following me and how do you know me?"

Rooster looked deflated, huffing slightly to himself and muttering about how they "always talk to the pretty ones." He grumped and leaned against the wall, crossing his arms and looking quite like a petulant child.
She nodded to him, slipped the pack of smokes back into her pocket, and continued to drag on her cigarette. "He followed you. It's his little gift.... He can find anything, anywhere."
Rooster puffed back up. "Hey! You weren't supposed to tell him all of that! We were just supposed to--"
Dog turned her glowing red eyes up at him, and the ferocity there within made him shrink back ever so slightly. Rooster returned to his perch on the wall, continuing to mutter under his breath about the crappy situation he was in, and how nobody ever listened to him. She rolled her eyes and shook her head, turning back to Drake. "We were sent to find you. Boss wants to talk to you."

"Who is your boss, and what does he want with me?"
He would ask taking hit off his own cigarette.

There was nothing wrong with the cigarette. It was perfectly normal. Dog took a hit of her own at the same time as Drake.
"He just wants to talk to you. That's all I know."

"That doesn't answer the who part of my question."
He would say taking another drag.

She leaned her arms back on her knees and nodded.
"Yeah, you're right. You know how this goes. Big scary people corner you, ask you nicely to come meet our leader, you go there, probably get threatened a couple of times, some Godfather speech about an offer you can't refuse... Blah blah blah."
She shook her head and took another drag.
"It's all really cliche if you think about it."
