Kaia headed for the area she'd felt the whispers pull her towards. Tents, homeless people, the works. What a weird place to hide out in.
"This is the place." she'd say, looking around.

Cain folds his arms, looking around.
"You think they're hiding in a tent city."
He frowns so hard.

Tent City was surprisingly active, a community made up of homeless people milling around together. There were a few fires, where people gathered together to cook whatever meat they had managed to scrounge up through the day. Despite the brightness of the day, even as the sun was setting, Tent City somehow managed to look dark and dreary. From just beside Cain and Kaia, a girl seemed to materialize out of the darkness. Her eyes were brilliant red, glowing dully, and her entire frame seemed to radiate power. She had a cigarette hanging from her lips, which she tugged out and tossed to the ground, using the toe of her boot to put it out. "Follow me," she said, without any sort of introduction. |

That was a weird and unexpected entrance, but, Kaia was pretty used to weird by now.
"Right...lead the way, then." she says, ready to follow.

The frown on Cain's face is just a full blown scowl now.
"...who the fuck are you?"
He asks, even though Kaia seemed ready to go.

She turned around to lead them around the outskirts of Tent City. The homeless looked up at her and then quickly looked away, but she paid them no mind.
"They call me Dog. I'm here to escort her," she paused, giving a nod towards Kaia, "to the boss. He didn't say anything about you, though. I've got no reason to stop you if you want to come along." Her tone was almost bored, and she kept her back to them, as if neither were a threat to her at all. She simply continued to walk, her gait even and graceful.

"Dog." Kaia snorts.
"I guess that's suitable for someone who's fetching."
Kaia would note the reactions. It wasn't all too surprising when someone was actively showing off their power. Chances are most of these people were normies.

"Well, I'm already here."
He didn't... have a better reason than that.
"Why's she getting special treatment?"

Dog seemed completely unbothered by the jab. She didn't respond to it at all. She simply continued to walk.
"Because she was the first one to find the twins. And she did it without trying to kill them right off the bat." There was a hint of emotion in her tone then: amusement. She didn't seem at all bothered that he had thrown a piece of a door at her apparent allies, in hopes of killing them. In fact, she seemed to find it almost funny.

"Oh look, something else I beat you at." Kaia would say, flipping her hair back.
The chances of him straight attacking again were probably high so that wouldn't get him bonus points.

"Maybe they shouldn't have been playing fucking mindgames."
The anger's already starting, and he glares at Kaia.
"Shut up. You just didn't have the balls to pick a fight."

Dog had no interest in getting involved in a lover's quarrel. She fell silent as she led them to the opposite side of Tent City, where there were tall buildings and warehouses.
She stopped in front of a tall, metal door, glancing back over her shoulder.
"Are you two lovebirds done?" she asked, maintaining her air of boredom.

"It's called trying to get intel but you trigger happy fucks wouldn't know shit about it! That's what happens when you have shit for brains! SO HEROIC." she snap back.
"And you stay the fuck out of it, mutt." she'd answer the girl, looking over at the door.

"I was dealing with the ENEMY!"
Cain waves his arms angrily, then points at Dog.
"Fuck off! You're lucky I'm being nice!"
He's not being nice at all.

Dog leaned against the wall just beside the door and snickered. These two were going to be such a handful. She pulled a pack of cigarettes out of her pocket.
"Want a smoke while you argue?" She asked, holding out the pack.
