              “Weird and unusual demons bothering you and they’re no good? For a simple fee I’ll hunt them for you.” Dante gave that two finger salute and held up a paper sign made with crayons.

               For him the outfit was just for style and of course an easier way of cleaning off blood stains from unwanted demons. But red was always his color from even when he was little, it was something that just grew on him. Half gloved fingers picked up his own burger and shoved it in his mouth not so delicately like some would expect. Dante didn’t expect anyone to be watching him when he walked by to get a drink, however, the sultry voice caught him off guard.

                “Mmmfphh -- me?” He swallows his bite and points to himself and looks around. Oh duh of course it was HIM she was talking about. With a skillful toss of his burger wrapper, it landed in the open trash bin without him looking back. “Well I think some just did and it was you.” A brow raised, curious to see what this chick was all about. “Hope you don’t mind I take a seat next to you.” 

Dante gave her a wink, then without failure, he pulled the chair from an empty table and twirled it his way. Sitting in it backwards so he could lean against the back of it. Never can this man NOT show off. “I caught your eye and now you caught mine, whats your story?”

「 █ ψ █ 」 a sea of common faces sweep by the mistress. as she stifled a yawn behind a manicured hand, she blows at the stray wisps of ginger from tickling her nose. it was terribly dull. no screams to keep her more than satisfied and there was no other entertainment provided for the mistress whatsoever. it was just so unfair. 

just as she was about to bury her face into a hamburger, she spotted an intriguing person. it’s been a while since anyone wore something similar to her. red leather. usually those who wore leather had the tendency to have very interesting personalities. maybe he would provide her with some entertainment. who knows, maybe she would make him scream for her. even without her pitchfork and whip, she still had their replacements: a spork and jump rope– in which she can be really creative with.

having made up her mind, sadie curled her hand underneath her chin as she crossed her leg over her other leg. red lips tugged into a smile, humming in an attempt to garner his attention as she fixed a gaze on the silver-haired darling.

“darling, has anyone told you that red looks…. mmm~~ absolutely wonderful on you.”

                       He’s been to more rowdy bars that caused more trouble then pleasure, all in which he got involved in not by choice. So this place was relaxing to him to say in the least. “From some previous experiences I’d have to agree. Less drunken men makes for less of a sour taste and more women to look at while some of drink. So good job on the place , Miss Bartender.” Dante leaned forward and rested his chin on his fist.

                       “Nice to meet your acquaintance, not around here they call me’Dante or Handsome Hunter --” Before he could add on to that ridiculous name he felt his heart sink. NO CREDIT?! “UH right..seems I left my wallet back with my supervisor.” This was just as disappointing as losing his pizza. “I'll uh take whatever I can get with credit.”

      Brows lifting in surprise, she holds up a finger to indicate she’d return, disappearing around the back of the bar to the walk-in where those particular bottles were kept.            “Well, th’ atmosphere’s sure a draw,” she begins as she sets the bottle down in front of him, not taking her finger off the cap. “An’ th’ sights ain’t bad either. I’d like t’ think th’ place is jus’ better’n th’ alternatives though.”            Tilting forward, she presses a thumb against the edge of the bottle cap, and then holds out the other hand.            “Round here, most folks call me ‘boss’. But jus’ Ari’ll do. Now, that’ll be one fifty– no credit on th’ expensive stuff, hon, sorry.”

                  He’d laugh at the other, amused with the confidence that he shared about his good ol’ fashion cowboy roots. His fancy finger work didn’t impress him much and sadly he didn’t have his twin beauties to show this cowboy what real skill was. “Is that so, padre.” Dante clicked his tongue as he placed his hands on his hips. Hive city sure had some characters here in the city. “Wrangle cows? Pigs? Chickens? how about do the good ol’ square dance.”

Honestly, by now McCree was so used to this kinda question and approach that it hardly bothered him. Instead, he was able to just laugh about it and embrace it. Naturally, in response to the man’s words and actions, McCree whipped out the revolver he’d found, giving it a spin on his thumb before using it to push up his hat.

“’Course I can. I’m as a real of a cowboy as they come, amigo.”

                      He felt his brain shatter when he heard the price for the bottle, staring blankly for a moment before regaining his conscious. “Sounds like a real treat, I’ll take a bottle then.” Boy was Lady going to murder him when she finds out his tab. “Some come for the drinks while some for the beauty around them.” Dante extended his arms out ( of course making sure he didn’t hit anyone in the process.) , and showed the women whom seemed to be quite popular around. “Nothing wrong with a drink and a show, right?” After a few drinks of that expensive bottle you can bet your ass he’ll be the entertainment of the night.

                         “So miss bartender, what do they call you?”

      “You sure y’ want that? It’s ‘bout one-fifty a bottle. An’ I don’t mean singles.” Leaning on the bar, her hand comes up to her cheek to mimic his pose, pale hair pooling against her curled fingers. Another half-demon– how, she wondered, did they always manage to find her bar? Tapping her fingers against her cheek, she looks around at the crowded restaurant area of the club, then arches her brows at him, looking amused. “I dunno, you tell me. What, th’ atmosphere not t’ your likin’?”

[slicebyslice-blog]

                    He gave her a pistol finger motion and still held on to that stupid grin of his. Nothing could take this moment away from the Devil hunter this time! “The more we talk the hungrier I’m getting,” Luckily the pizza parlor wasn’t far at all, just a block away from where they stood. “Let’s get over there before something else tries to stop me.” Hopefully he didn’t jinx himself this time with the small bliss of happiness. 

                              “We’re eating inside since I can’t trust that pretty lil’ face of yours to step on it again.” With a click of his tongue he was already off and leading them back to where he got it. Dante was nice enough to open the door for her first since she was paying. “After you madam.” The demon gave her a teasing bow before trailing behind her.

Aqua watched as the crushed pizza simply oozed pitifully, the white haired man having picked it up. Thankfully her boot was safe, and she wouldn’t have to clean anything off, but still, she felt quite bad. It was the mans sudden bounce back  that caught the knight by surprise, cheeks immediately reddening.

“Oh– n-no it’s not–” Oh but she didn’t want to offend him, she already ruined his dinner, but truly she wouldn’t consider it a date! “I mean, it’s not a problem!” Ugh, why was she so terrible at this? She could save worlds and defeat monstrous beings, but when it came to  matters like this…

“Let’s just… go to the place you got that, and I’ll get it, okay?”

                 Munch .. Munch. “Halloween huh. Ain’t that soon or something?” Says the man eating out of a large bag of assorted treats. Munch. “Explains why my sweet tooth is kickin with all these 3.99 deals.”

@sardonicstripling

                   Whats a little fun without some harmless teasing and torment?  He had to make sure that the kid was still capable of defending himself in this newly city and so what better way to catch him off guard? Attack him. Dante only had a wooden sword but it would suffice for now. “Heh.” 

                Out from nowhere he would come spinning in, sword aiming for the others head. “Here I thought you got some balls, kid!” A grin on his face, the hunter made it an effort to hurt the other regardless of it being playful.

@numinal

                   He was looking for something good to eat and even perhaps a drink to aid his 1000 year old thirst for some fun. Whether he had the money or not was something he ignored rather...keeping up a endless tab for Lady who generally dealt with his money issues. “Yo bartender! give me the best you got.” Dante lifted up the back of his trench coat and plopped himself on the bar stool. Elbows rested on the counter top as his cheek rested against his fist. “Just how good is this Eden place anyways?”

                  “Whatever you’re smoking, have you know I’m like fine wine and aged handsomely.” Just to make it clear to her that his age wasn’t all that terrible.As they say..flirty thirties. It could have been anything to make their ages different but it was soon obvious that time was everything in this city. “Sounds crazy but more likely so. We’re living proof aren’t we,Lady?”  In all honesty he felt like this was something that made more sense when he was drunk, but the lack of alcohol made it hard to be true.

                     “Truth hurts I know--” Dante teased as he hushed his lips with his finger to mock her. Big or small he liked it regardless. “Ooooo a chance? lucky me, maybe a dance with the devil too.” Hands went to his hips as he rose a brow at her, but the moments it took for her to shoot at him, well he was just a little slow.

                      The hunter would get pelted with a few pellets on his forehead, the last of them being blocked by the wooden sword he was given.”A little warning before you attack a poor man?!” Brows furrowed more at her, eyes looking up to the markings she left.”I thought we agreed that you agreed that I’m ME.”

“Of course it happened now.” But she could see where he was coming from, see that he might be telling the truth and at least try to come to peace with the topsy-turvy time shenanigans. “But I guess it could have been years for you…” Not that her suspicions were at all at ease.

“Stop talking.” She crossed her arms under her absolutely fine size of a chest and jutted out her hip. “Don’t you see how this place, these scientists, have been able to pull us from different times. I mean, comments like that don’t come from just any demon masquerading as a friend. So, I’ll give you one chance.”

There had been only the smallest sliver of time before Lady had fired her BB gun at the devil boy, the pellets leaving at a disappointing velocity, but hopefully with enough kick to land their target.

                    Devastation. What he wanted to do was get on his knees and cry out to the loss of his dearest pizza, but that of course would look crazy. Like any other he would just sigh, lips into a full frown as the demon hunter was bested once again by god. “So am I..so am I,” Dante mumbled to himself and reached for the now no good box. It all just oozed on out, making a cheesy mess on the sidewalk. Delicious. 

                          “My luck has been running in circles here, even more so then usual.” Dropping the box into the trashcan beside him. “I’d hate to make a woman pay for my meal but I've been dying for a few slices since I got here. So how about a date then!” The once frown had turned back to a smile, a dorky one at that. 

She truly should have been watching where she was going, but engrossed in her phone (and trying to figure it out), Aqua had unknowingly stepped into something… squishy. A small gasp escaped her lips as she looked down, seeing a cardboard box beneath her boot. Cheese and sauce started to seep from the sides, and quickly stepping back in surprise, Aqua looked up.

“Oh no–! I’m so sorry!” Immediately she apologized, putting her phone back into her bag. She certainly hadn’t meant to step on the others food, but to know he had apparently waited an entire month to eat it… Well, it made her feel all the worse.

“Please, let me get you another one. I should have been watching where I was going…”
