First Sunset [open]

[Silv]

Rose leaned against the sneeze guard, half climbing up it in ways it wasn't intended to be used, and peered at the weird burger Werefox had made, and then the weird fox-man himself. “Werefox?” she echoed, setting her chin on the top of the sneeze guard in a contemplative fashion. “So do you guys still hate vampires too? Do you work with the werewolves, or are they big jerks?”

When asked about spoons the girl with the white hair clamored farther up the guard, and leaned down, reaching for one of the serving spoons for the burger toppings. She grasped the handle and swung it up flinging pickles accidentally as she brandished it like a sword. “But!” she protested, and pointed it at the fox-man in a way that might have been threatening if it weren't a spoon at the end of the handle.

But then the robot was protesting about the vampires, and Rose swung her head to look at her. Whoa, this was one fancy robot. It was like the daddy-bots in that it could express emotion. Sort of. So far as her dad displayed emotion. Except this one seemed actually worried. The youngest Wilson grinned, hopping down from where she'd been on the sneeze guard of the burger joint and hitting the ground. “What if vampires attacked right now? What if they found out and decided to stop you!” Rose asked the robot, sounding terribly excited about such a prospect. An army of vampires swarming the mall right now would have totally made the day that much brighter. “Would you help the werewo-fox fight 'em? That sounds like an alliance to me~”

Cyrus pondered the robot's questions. He saw no harm in answering, but then, he saw no real fun in just telling her either. So, swallowing, he grinned at her.

"Why? Do you want it? I'm not sure it would work on robots." Then he addressed the white-haired girl. "I wouldn't know, I've never met any werewolves. Or vampires either. When I do, I'll let you know." As he teased, he wondered who she was. Then his attention was caught by the long-handled spoon, his eyes riveted as the girl waved it back and forth. As she was distracted by the robot, he tensed, then leapt up at it. His jaws snapped closed over the bowl, cleanly breaking it off from the handle.

Immensely pleased with himself, he spat the pickley bit of metal to the floor behind the counter. Then he vaulted up over the glass, landing on the other side of the counter. Picking up the tray, he shook his head at the robot.

"She's joking Lumini -- at least, I hope she is." He glanced at the girl, still grinning. "You don't seriously believe that stuff about werewolves and vampires and robots, do you? And what else was it -- zombies? Pirates? Ninja!" He laughed. Then he mused, "Of course, I could see my kin being opposed to pale parasitic wannabes. Only so many humans to go around. Speaking of which, who are you? You're a lot braver than the others here."

The robot was just getting more and more confused by the moment. Sure she could understand fascination with this strange Werefox, especially since it seemed to be rare, even for the people here on Earth. Of course, that didn't change the fact that the girl was going on about things that Lumini had absolutely no knowledge of whatsoever! Now she was asking what Lumini would do if the vampires attacked them both out of anger, would she help the Werefox fight them or would she, oh goodness she had no idea what was going on! "What in the Plague is a vampire?!" She shrieked, her voice box gaining a harsh static ting as she clocked it to high and a tad too loud for what it was meant for, so it did add a slight, unpleasant static tinge to the sound, before she coughed, well it was the sound of a cough, and her voice went back to normal. "Ahem, sorry I...wait it was a joke?"

At that revelation from the Werefox, she slammed her head down on the cash register, fortunately it wasn't quite hard enough to break it, but it did produce a noticeable thump as she just hid her face from the shame. It was only a small comfort that at the very least her robotic body couldn't blush, which would just make it worse as she lifted her head up. "A joke...haha...ha....sorry I don't know much about Earth culture yet. I'm still learning a lot of things. So..er...what is a vampire anyways?" Lumini had...gotten a bit distracted from her previous goal that was for sure.

“You've never met a werewolf?” Rose looked surprised. There were so many freaks running around here, she was pretty sure she'd spotted at least one wolf-freak. “Not any vampires either? Sowhat, is Jump City the werefox capitol? Because- you've never heard of a vampire?” Rose cut off abruptly, turning to stare at Lumini with a horrified expression. They were gunna need a horror movie night. Stat.

“Hey!” Something tugged on her spoon, and Rose flipped her attention back to the fox dude who had just...bitten the end of the spoon off. “Cool!” she drew the handle closer, running a thumb gently over the twisted metal. It was kinda sharp. “A new shiv!” she twirled it in her hand, testing the weight, it wasn't super impressive, but she could stab somebody with it.

“Why wouldn't it be true?” she asked with childish simplicity, when asked if she believed the lore about vampires and werewolves. “The pirates fight the ninjas and the zombies fight the plants, get it right.” Rose added with a roll of her eyes, before turning to study Lumini with a grin. “Whoever built you was really dedicated,” she commented, because robots being from an alien planet had never actually occurred to her. “A vampire is like a person, but they have fangs!” she tucked her shiv under her armpit and held up her hands to approximate “fangs” with her index fingers. “They drink blood, and are either totally badass, or they sparkle like fairies.” Then the fox dude was asking who she was.

“I'm Rose,” the girl introduced with a shake of her head, as she untucked her shiv with a flourish. “And I'm not afraid of anything.”

Werefox recoiled sharply at Lumini's sudden outburst. His ears folded up and he grimaced, whimpering slightly in pain. So it seems super hearing has its disadvantages, he thought. He clenched his fists, digging his claws into his palms to keep from tearing his own ears off. At least it didn't last long.

"Could you please not do that?" he snapped at Lumini. "I don't think either of us is deaf. Yet." Then, returning to the counter, he gave the human girl a disbelieving look. Could people really be this… foolish? He wasn't going to comment at all -- he figured it was pointless trying to disillusion her -- but something she said struck him as particularly absurd. "Why in the Abyss would zombies fight plants? And I don't plan on starting an empire, so I don't need a capital."

He picked up the tray and spun on his paws, annoyed with both of them. He did remark, over his shoulder, "Don't forget the nosferatu. Which are hideous monsters." Then again maybe that's what she considered "badass".

He set the tray down on a table, and sat. Then he realised he had no silverware. Or rather stainless steel ware -- would silverware be dangerous to him, he wondered errantly. At any rate, he decided suddenly he didn't care. He bent over, and simply buried his muzzle in the mound of greenery. Then he stood again, and braced his hands against the table. After a while he looked up and around, flicking his tongue at bits of lettuce and onion on his whiskers.

"So, Rose you say? That's a nice name." One which didn't fit her at all, but he kept that to himself. "What do you do?" Because her name wasn't what he meant at all. He had noticed that she called a broken spoon handle a shiv. Not an ordinary reaction from any kind of girl. Of course she could just be really caught up in her make-believe world of plant-hating zombies.

Lumini was...terribly, horribly lost. The Werefox said the girl was joking, she said she wasn't joking, so which was it?! Or...wait, wait, was her comment about the vampires taking offense a joke, but vampires were, in fact, real? She was going to go with that, it made the most sense out of everything else going on. So, she went with that assumption, and some of the confusion faded, as she smiled weakly, "Aha...sorry." She said to the Werefox, referring to that outburst of an almost shorted voicebox. Wait, so there were more creatures besides vampires, like these...Nosferatu? Oh goodness she was so confused.

"So...if they just have fangs, what makes Vampires so special, or did they just organize an entire group around the fangs?" She asks Rose, moving around the counter after depositing the money for the fox's meal inside. "Oh, and I wasn't built. Well, my body was, but my mind was not." She says, tapping her chest with a chuckle. Of course, that should open up a slew of new questions from the girl, but that was fine! Questions were good, but...she sort of needed to find a way to get back on track with the whole theft thing, without getting Werefox up in arms...but goodness, trying to shift back now would just feel way too clunky and obvious...at least he wasn't committing a crime now..that would have to do for the moment.

“Because the plants are trying to save the last of humanity, duh~” Rose explained to the baffled pair who apparently weren't cool enough to play viral computer games. “Zombies and vampires are kind of the same except zombies eat brains, and vampires drink blood. Both eat people. It kinda sucks, but then there's all sorts of ways you can kill them so that's fun.” she squinted down the length of the broken spoon she'd decided was a weapon twirling it before shoving it, point up, into her bag so that it stuck out the side.

“Whoaaaaa,” Rose's attention snapped back to the robot when she explained she had been a person once. Or at least that was how Rose's mind had decided it worked. “I wanna badass robot body!” she said, obviously thrilled with the idea. “Can you put rocket launchers in your kneecaps? Because that would be so cool. And you can't forget turning your arms into a canon!” even though Cyborg was a lame Titan he would always be Rose's favorite. She had a thing for weapons, and someone who could turn their arm into a canon was automatically cool.

She was still slightly starry eyed at the idea of badass weaponry on badass robots, but she managed to stop thinking about epic WMDs when the fox guy asked her what she did. “Mm?” she made a noise, glancing at Cyrus almost like she'd forgotten about him. “I go to school,” she said, indicating the crest on the left pocket of her uniform shirt. “It's lame.”

((Aw Silv. *Hugs.* I forgive you. :3 ))

"Ha." He went back to finishing his meal. "Went to school indeed". Well, maybe she did. And maybe there was nothing special about her at all about from an inability to tell reality from fantasy. If she was a super she certainly wasn't giving it away.

He licked the tray clean, then turned back to the two females (if you could call a robot "female"). He leaned back against the table, again cleaning his whiskers with his tongue before talking.

"So, Lumini, you don't seem all that familiar with the supernatural. Are you… newly built? Or from somewhere…" He paused to think of the phrasing he wanted. "Unacquainted with current culture? And what do you mean, your mind was not built?"

He shifted his gaze to Rose. She was starting to annoy him, acting as though they existed for her amusement. Besides which, he had been expecting more of an… awed reaction, and now first the knife girl and then Rose acted as though he were no threat. Granted this was Jump City, and both girls probably had issues. But still it was irritating.

"Vampires and zombies are more likely to kill you," he remarked coldly. "After all, they're already dead. Not so easy to cope with unless you can remove the powers that animate them. Even then, worthwhile vampires far outstrip human abilities. Like me."

He pushed himself suddenly off the table, and came back to the counter. He picked up the mayonnaise jar from where he had set it, ripped it apart, and began licking out the remainder of the sauce.
