¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[It's one of those chilly nights where the wind blows too strongly and the clouds appear dark enough to suggest a coming rain. People pull up their collars, wrap their coats around themselves, and hurry to seek shelter, but not Kiyeon. While people hurry past with anxious glances at the sky, Kiyeon's standing in the middle of the sidewalk with a stack of fliers in his hands, looking like he'd rather be anywhere but there.

He's not entirely sure how he got into this situation. One minute he'd been walking by on his way to grab a bite to eat, the next, a kid who couldn't have been older than fourteen had shoved a bunch of papers into his arms and pleaded with him to take over. Something about needing to go to the bathroom and that he had to get all the fliers out or else he'd get into trouble.

It had all happened so fast. He hadn't even gotten a chance to protest before the kid had dashed off. And Kiyeon had waited... and waited... and figured it wouldn't hurt to mindlessly pass some of the fliers out as he continued to wait.

Only it's been about twenty minutes now and a part of him knows he's been had but the other part of him tells him to stand there, that the kid could come back any minute now. And it's the latter that he decides to listen to because he's always been soft, especially for kids.

When he spots the next person coming his way, he sticks out a hand holding a flier to stop them as he tucks the rest of the stack under his free arm.]


Please take this.

[Unfortunately, he'd never bothered to check out the fliers or the fact that they were advertising a night club. Look, it wasn't his fault he was too distracted keeping an eye out for that kid to notice the scantily clad women displayed on the front.]

[ With ratty looking hand-me-down clothing and a lack of shoes even in cold weather like this, people generally give Dohyun a pretty wide breadth when he walks down the street. When you spend so much of your time outside of cities living in the woods, and at least half of that time running around as a wolf, you really don't have to worry about your clothing looking nice. His grubby looking jacket is warm, and even though he doesn't have shoes he did find a pair of thick socks to at least keep his feet warm for the occasion.

Right now he's only in the city to scavenge for his pack, something Dohyun does on a monthly basis. He's trying to find more thrown out items of clothing like what he's wearing right now. It's getting colder, and some of the pack needs replacements for the worn out clothing items that they've been using for awhile.

Not usually having to deal with people approaching him he starts slightly when Kiyeon shoves the flier into his hands, glancing down at the night club advertisement, and having grown up outside of polite society from age five (when he was bitten and adopted by a pack of feral werewolves) and up, Dohyun has no idea what it is he's looking at as he sees tits and ass all over the paper.
]

... Huh?

[ What kind of weird ass human bullshit... ]

[personal profile] repack 2017-01-01 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well that's a mildly alarming reaction. Dohyun tenses up as the hand slaps down on the paper he's holding. Kiyeon isn't striking him as particularly aggressive right now, but the sudden movements from people he doesn't know always puts him on edge. It's fortunate he's good at reeling it back enough not to act on his knee-jerk desire to toss this guy on the ground. Instead he tries to pull the paper free so he can get a better look at it.

Look, he's the leader of a pack that lives in the wilderness. He's seen naked women a number of times, even if they don't really look anything like the women on the flier. It's not that shocking, just confusing. What's the point of it? Why is he being given it?

He freezes at the question though, because he honestly can't say with any certainty how old he is. He's got a vague idea, but he's lost count along the way. It's not like werewolves that live more like wolves than humans really keep calendars with them.
]

... Twenty?

[ The uncertainty is not helping him, but at least he looks ballpark the age he just guessed at. ]

[personal profile] repack 2017-01-16 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It's funny how different the two lifestyles were, and how as the wind changes just slightly and Dohyun finally catches Kiyeon's scent how fast that question flips.

Dohyun is only used to wolves who roam free, and while older members of his pack had mentioned there were wolves who would wander into the city and never return, Dohyun had trouble wrapping his head around what kind of life they'd make for themselves here. For someone who wasn't born a werewolf it's kind of remarkable how easily Dohyun adjusted to his new life, and how hard it was to imagine ever going back to his old one. Then again, he was a small child when it all happened.

He glances skeptically at Kiyeon's own shoes, and his demeanor changes in an instant. He's not someone who seems confused and uncertain around a member of an alien species, there's a lot more confidence in his tone now, though it still sounds guarded as he gives Kiyeon a more careful inspection.
]

Why would I? They'd just get in the way.

[personal profile] repack 2017-06-24 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ It usually doesn't mean anything good, it's true, but right now Dohyun isn't in his own territory. He doesn't know if it's Kiyeon's territory either, but he does know the smell of a lone wolf, and it does make him feel more confident about his ability to handle this situation. If it comes to a fight then Dohyun is in a much better position than he would be if Kiyeon had a pack backing him up.

The neutrality is strange though. Usually it's easier to read if someone is friendly or dangerous pretty quickly, but Kiyeon is giving him nothing to work with. He might be more confident than he can handle this fight, but he's more on guard than ever at the possibility of a fight happening.
]

What kind of trouble involves shoes?

[ He... he's 100% serious and genuine with that question. He doesn't get it. ]

[personal profile] repack 2017-08-15 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ Not slow, but definitely not up to date on what is common among people. Dohyun looks baffled at this sudden revelation. People toss clothing out all the time. Sure, it's usually clothing that's full of holes, or stained, or sometimes just painfully out of trend, but it's so easy to find. He can usually find shoes rooting around in people's garbage shoes.

Why are they throwing them out if they're valuable?

Better question, why does Kiyeon think that Dohyun would wear any shoes worth more than like ten dollars? Judging from the way he dresses it's pretty clear he's a bargain bin only kind of guy (or more accurately a dumpster dive only kind of guy).

At least while he's puzzling this out it doesn't look like Dohyun is going to attack Kiyeon. Not that he planned to anyway.
]

But they don't look shiny?

[ Isn't that what humans usually judge value by? Is his whole world a lie?? ]

[ Eunjung has been freezing her ass off on the other side of the street while sat between two girl friends at the bar, watching this whole exchange take place. At first it's just kind of funny to her, watching this poor man get conned, but it quickly gets a little sad, and reminds her of her stupid, good-hearted little brother, who will bend over backwards to get himself conned as long as someone else can get a little step up from it.

In that line of thinking, it just makes her mad to see, and she can't stop staring at this poor guy for a good five minutes, then ten, then twenty, until she just can't believe he hasn't caught on yet. She mentions it to her two friends, but they're nowhere near as invested in the exchange as she is, and quickly change the subject.

It's really none of her business, and she should turn back to her friends and her drink and get on with her night without another thought for this poor moron, but there's just something about him...

Without thinking too much of it, she touches both friends on the shoulder as a form off goodbye, too distracted for much else, and pulls her coat tightly around her body, quickly crossing the street with her arms still folded.
]

Are you stupid?
soulhate: (your soft voice i’ve fallen for them all)

[personal profile] soulhate 2016-12-31 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ Though he's a little less like her brother now that Eunjung had spoken to him (kijung would definitely have sworn at her), she feels too invested in this boy to back off now and go back to her drink. Though he looks about her age, she's filled with a lot of old sister feelings towards him, and she's irritated on his behalf that he's been duped so hard. ]

You wish I had the wrong person. I've been watching you, idiot.

[ She hooks a thumb back towards the bar, though with the doors closed as they are and no proof that she was ever there to begin with other than the fact that she clearly crossed the road to get to him, she could have come from anywhere. ]

You let that kid play you.
soulhate: (i totally understand)

[personal profile] soulhate 2017-01-09 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's the weakest defense Eunjung has ever heard, but it's not the first time she's heard one that could be bested by a slight breeze, not in a long shot. Hasn't she had this same sad conversation more times than fingers on her hand with her woeful baby brother? She has, and hearing it come from someone else doesn't make it any more convincing.

In fact, it's pretty annoying. It's annoying because there's still so many people in the world who happily take advantage of people like this who can't help but want to help people who need it... and people who don't. She just wishes they'd try it with her so she could slap them into next week.
]

So what? You're going to stay here all night?

[ It's freezing. She doesn't even want to stand out here for another minute, even though she loves to scold people she barely knows. ]
soulhate: (your soft voice i’ve fallen for them all)

[personal profile] soulhate 2017-01-20 12:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The nerve of this guy! Eunjung manages to look offended by the very insinuation, and abruptly socks him in the shoulder for daring to think that she cares about some moron standing out in the cold! ]

Do I look worried about you? Idiot. Why would I worry about you? Can't you take care of yourself?

[ Obviously not, judging by how long he's been standing out here dutifully doing a grueling job that he isn't even being paid for. He earns nothing from being taken advantage of like this, and it's so irritating. ]
soulhate: (from the first time i saw you)

[personal profile] soulhate 2017-02-23 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It annoys her more to see what a helpful, charming person this poor idiot is. At least if he was fuming, annoyed and irritated and ready to swear at whoever comes closest first, it'd seem a little less like a nice guy who has been taken advantage of and more like some moron who was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

She doesn't seem any too pleased to hear his apology, and feels a little like she's been made fun of, but she's even less pleased hearing him actually apologize to her. If anything, she's just as out of line!
]

Stop just standing there and letting everyone walk over you!

[ She snatches away half the fliers he's still got in his hands, pulling one from the file and shoving it into the chest of the next closest passerby. ]
soulhate: (don’t talk if you don’t know)

[personal profile] soulhate 2017-07-03 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ Pointing out that Eunjung was actually being helpful and kind to him wouldn't end well for him, even if it was her choice to come over here in the first place and assist. Chois aren't exactly known for their pleasant personalities or easygoing attitudes. All Kiyeon would get for the trouble would be socked in the gut and his fliers shoved back into his face.

But, as long as he isn't pointing out the fact that she's being helpful towards him, she's more than happy to help to this degree.

Whether they want it or not, the passerbys who come into her vicinity get fliers shoved into their chests, and a sour look if they don't take them themselves. It's cold, and she doesn't want to stay out here any longer than she needs to.

Eunjung.

[Tolemi came up short when an arm suddenly stuck out. He looks down, staring at the flyer and wondering who thought that was a good idea to just shove at people. Not that he minds, really, he's all for admiring the physical form, but in public? Wasn't that something humans frowned on?

Still, he hadn't been to a club in months. Maybe he'd check it out. He took the flyer from his hand and looked it over.]


Nice place to hang?
getjackedup: (632)

[personal profile] getjackedup 2016-12-31 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[The way it's said makes Tolemi stiffen, tension filling his body, the flicker of warning that he's used to survive his entire life, and yet also a bit of indignation--at himself and this guy he just met. He should have been more careful, kept his mind on high alert even around all of these people but why should he have to? Because some predator--the scent is there, if he pays attention, the smell of canines, a dog, or a wolf. Not earthy enough to be a fox--will come along and remind him that he's supposed to be the bottom of the food chain?]

Anyone tell you it's rude to sniff strangers? [Watch yourself.]
getjackedup: (051)

[personal profile] getjackedup 2016-12-31 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[He backs off just like that and Tolemi can't help the feeling of dissatisfaction, incompleteness. So it's just over like that? He puts him on the spot and just...backs off? Is this really another Were or just some Sensitive human?]

Then put the flyers down and go buy a burger before you do something stupid. Humans around here are nosy.

[And would definitely pay attention to some guy acting weird and sniffing people handing out flyers. He's not being nice to this dog! He's just trying to keep his own shit on lock. He don't need no one causing trouble when he's only been in town a week.]
getjackedup: (042)

[personal profile] getjackedup 2016-12-31 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
What? [That was not what he expected to happen. He expected a fight. The dog to growl at him and tell him to mind his business so he could feel just fine with pushing back. But he's asking for his help? Why should he?

Because otherwise there's some Were that could cause trouble for him if things go wrong. Damn it.]


You little shit. [He says while reaching out to snatch half the stack right out of the other guy's hands.] Hurry up and hand those out.
getjackedup: (036)

[personal profile] getjackedup 2017-01-01 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Are you serious? [He stares after the guy for a second before letting out a little snort and shaking his head at the absurdity of it all. Check their IDs his ass. So what if teens wanted to hang out in a club wearing skimpy clothes. It's not big of a deal. And the flyer didn't have an age restriction written on it, so why bother trying to tell who could and couldn't go there? It's self-explanatory.

But hand the flyers he does. He just walks up to people and all but shoves the flyers into their hands, but it at least polite enough to thank them for looking. Most of them don't even bother to try and give them back. Size does have advantages.

He got rid of half of his stack that way and then without any attempt at subtlety just walked over to a trash can and dumped the rest in there. He looked around, trying to sense where the other Were had gone. Not that he should bother sticking around, since who knows what plans he might be trying to come up with. He could have left to get more of his pack to Hunt Tolemi with. It was a stupid idea to not move on as soon as he could.]
getjackedup: (540)

[personal profile] getjackedup 2017-01-01 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
[He's surprised once again because this guy is nothing like he's ever thought a wolf would be. Nothing like the stories and warnings he's heard his entire life. Besides his blatant scenting of him when they first came into contact, he's been overly friendly. His brow furrows just a bit, but he isn't going to let his true confusion show.]

Tolemi. What are you planning at here?
getjackedup: (333)

[personal profile] getjackedup 2017-01-01 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
[It's easier to not trust, because though he may look smaller and less capable than Tolemi in his human form, he's still a Were who could turn on him at any second. But Tolemi isn't going to cause a scene with all these humans around them, either. He's safe in public spaces, he knows, unless the predator wants to get himself into hot water.]

Whatever. Pick a spot close. Since you're paying. [Saving his money until he gets a new job is not a bad idea either, even if he is getting a free meal from a mangy mutt who is trying too hard to be friendly.]
getjackedup: (379)

[personal profile] getjackedup 2017-01-01 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
[This is so surreal, that Tolemi can't help but wonder if this is a prank somehow. If it's not a secret plot to get him alone and try to feast on his flesh, it has to be a joke.

And then he asks the question.]


You for real? Do I look like a leafer? If it's cooked well I'll eat it. [And he does mean well because he hates eating shitty food.] Chicken is fine. I said close.
getjackedup: (040)

[personal profile] getjackedup 2017-01-01 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Jackalopes were made to be carnivores, but some took the vow of nonviolence so far as to refuse to even eat meat. Tolemi was not one of them. The way he saw it, if he could cook it, he could eat it. He pauses when Kiyeon opens the door for him, staring the shorting man down. Really? Just who is this guy.

But it doesn't hold him for long and he passes into the restaurant, but only as far as inside the doorway so that Kiyeon could enter, too. He wasn't going to leave his back open just like that.]

This better be good chicken, man.
getjackedup: (333)

[personal profile] getjackedup 2017-01-03 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
I'll know it's bad before I had to eat it.

[Because that's the benefit of having a very sensitive nose. Instead of seeing Kiyeon's choice of table as the kind gesture that it is, Tolemi sees the fact that his back would be to the door, so he can't see who may be coming in. So he deliberately takes the chair from one side of the table that put his back to the door and instead set it to the side of the table, so that he could see Kiyeon just as easily as he could see anyone coming from the door or behind the counter.]

Give it to me.

[He holds out his hand for the menu, because he's not trusting Kiyeon with what tastes good. This boy looks like he'll eat anything as long as it's technically food, he's not listening to his opinion on good food.]
getjackedup: (333)

[personal profile] getjackedup 2017-02-05 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
[There is a diligent refusal to acknowledge that smile because shut up. He's not making anything out of his need to move his seat okay. So instead Tolemi looks down at the menu and looks it over. He furrows his brow just a bit. Some of the names of these "meals" are just plain ridiculous.]

What the hell is a "Bombastic Chicken-rito?"

[Who thought that was a good name for a food that you wanted to convince wouldn't ruin your intestines? Just call it a spicy chicken burrito.]
