Fox and Hound: More things Change
Date of Scene: 01 January 2021
Location: Landmark Mall (TMNT Base)
Synopsis: No description
Cast of Characters: Kainashi, Alopex




Kainashi has posed:
    There has been a lot of change in the lives of Kainashi and Alopex since last March, when the duo had escaped fully the clutches of The Foot Clan. These days they can be found doing normal teenage best-friend things -- hanging out at the mall, discussing clothing (... all right, it's actually armorment, not clothing) and accessorizing! -- with WEAPONRY!

    Kainashi herself has been keeping up dilligently with agility training, arranging for herself (and summarily forgetting their existence until reminded) several agility courses through the mall, which thankfully also can cover for skatepark bits. Concrete dividers, plastic pipes, long metal tubes wide enough to skate through -- all left about a section of the mall, which was where Kainashi was at this moment, listening to loud rock music as she attempted to bend a steel pillar into place between two concrete pillars to form a shallow U.

Alopex has posed:
    A lot of inspiration for one of those agility courses came from an old Foot branch building, mostly used for training new recruits and luring them in with arcade games, booze, cigarettes, and all those teenage things. Here, it is just the agility course... and an arcade.. that still had games in it. (Does Mikey live in there yet?)

    A door on an upper level can be heard, and a particular white fox has a seat on a railing higher up. Said ceiling fox appears to have went and got food. From the food court, or beyond, is up for guessing.

Kainashi has posed:
    There's a crreeaaaaaaak of metal protesting, and Kainashi grunts a moment, her feet scrambling against a rubber-mat covered floor as she uses chains to help bend the beam into the right shape -- and the steel finally relents, bending into a U shape so that Kainashi can place it between the pillars.

    It was then that she sniffed the air, and then bent her head back, followed by her body as her tail gives a wag.

    "Hey ALopex!" she greets the fox with a wave.

Alopex has posed:
    The pup always did have the better nose. Alopex gives a kind wave from far above, then holds out a bag of ... food? It's just a brown paper bag with a damp spot here and there. Hard to say what it is by sight. Smell, on the other hand...

    "How's training going? Agility, that is. I ... don't see a huge need for strength training, unless it is for control..?" She did come in at the middle of a session, after all.

Kainashi has posed:
    "Oh, it's going. I thought maybe by having a heavier support I could maybe put a bigger climb wall on this side. See, I was watching TV because I couldn't sleep and I came accross this show called American Ninja Warrior, and can you beleive Pex? I didn' tknow Americans trained ninjas too! I mean, a lot of the Foot are Americans, but the Foot's from Japan but *can you imagine* some of these people are doing weird backflips excpet that one guy who went through naked and that was a bit of a weird run --" the canine states, chattering happily as she goes from the steel beam to the top of the U, to the underside of one of the walkways, to climbing up the railing and coming to a rest near Alopex. Her tail wags.

    "Is it lunch time?"

Alopex has posed:
    "Hmm. Not a bad idea," the fox muses before the TV Show rant. Huh. "I feel like I saw that... somewhere.. but not really when. Maybe while you were watching it at some point." Totally while Kai was watching it at some point.

    With the two seated beside one another, the bag is offered over. "It is indeed. I wandered out of the mall for something different."

Kainashi has posed:
    Kai's nose wiggles, and the canine mutant accepts the bag. "Ooooh. Boigers!" she jokes, emphasizing her accent hard as she digs out a greasy, shining hamburger bun complete with bacon and cheese. Mmm.

    "... it's kinda nice, living out away from people. Being able to just walk around."

Alopex has posed:
    Indeed. Burgers. And spicy fries too. The fox produces a second sandwhich from the bag and gets into it as well, picking at the fries once in a while. There were also a massive number of napkins. White fox need many napkins. "It really is."

Kainashi has posed:
    "... but at the same time, I miss the Den. I just get worried that the whole parking lot is just too big, and the exit is near too many other people. I think I'm getting..." the canine considers a moment "... restless? Is that... is that the right word?" she questions, ripping off a bit of the burger and popping it in her mouth.

    "... there's just so much here."

Alopex has posed:
    "Mm.. Yes, but there's also a lot of us here, too. Between all of us, I think we could take on just about anything with us here. And if you're restless? We can always slip out, do patrols, even stay at the den a few days if you want. We have friends here, but it isn't a crime to take some time for ourselves, too."

Kainashi has posed:
    "... but what if something happens while we're not here?" the pitbull questions, her ears turning up. The tatoo in her left ear appears to bear some attempt at cover-up... unfortunately it's with sharpie.

    "

    Kaihuffs a moment, and she rubs the back of her neck. "Life was weirdly simpler when my job was to be ferocious and knock trainees around." Nevermind the fact that she was viciously scarred, chemically blinded while doing so. "It's hard to be 'sponsible."

Alopex has posed:
    "They can call us, and then we get here after a few minutes," Alopex points out, nomming afterward. "Mm.. life goes on, things get harder in some ways, easier in others. You'll end up better for it overall, Kai. Just take it one day at a time."

Kainashi has posed:
    "Bleh. It's easier when I pretend I'm dumber than I am. Then no one expects anything of it. Donnie sees right through it at this point." Kai states, and then her voice gets a wry note. "If he wasn't so nice or cute, I probably would have fought moving in harder."

Alopex has posed:
    There's a tepid reach, but a pat that ends up on the shoulder rather than the head, if that's even permitted. "You only have friends here, you know. If you have a problem with anyone, I have no doubt you can handle it, but I'm right here if you need help of any sort, Kai. Things here? We'll get used to it, and if you need a break? We can go to the den. I wouldn't mind it, either. Just you me, a DVD player, some dumb movies, and snacks. Fun night, I say."

Kainashi has posed:
    "I know, 'Pex." Kainashi replies gently, and she breathes out, looking over the mall.

    "It's just been kinda a hectic year, hasn't it? Between everything and everything else. Moves and the Rat King and..." she smiles, then frowns, then smiles again. "... I'm glad I still have you through everything though."

Alopex has posed:
    "To say the least, it was a -very long- year," agreement, massively, from the fox. She finishes her meal, sets the remnant foil, bag, and fries aside, and just sort of peers out across the mostly vacant mall. "I'm glad, too. For you, for us, for everything. Here's hoping this year is a bit more calm than the last one."

Kainashi has posed:
    "Here, here." Kainashi agrees, and with one hand holding the burger, the other hand is held out for a fist bump.

    "... we should also probably track down Dom the Bomb and make sure he doesn't hit us before we hit him. Or something."

Alopex has posed:
        Bump

    "Hmm.. yeah.. it has been a bit quiet over all the holidays. He's either taking a break or planning something. Probably planning something.

Kainashi has posed:
    "That means he's smart enough to start planning something." Kainashi comments breezily as she kicks her feet, looking over her latest course project. "I don't wanna give him too much credit, but at the same time I kinda hope that lion ate him."

Alopex has posed:
    "If that lion ate him, I hope that it had a stomach that could deal with him. I don't know why, but somewhere deep in my brain, a voice is saying humans taste awful." Maybe she bit one of the foot clan scientists during her mutation? who knows. She has no actual memory of that.

Kainashi has posed:
    "Eh. Depends on how they're seasoned." Kainashi jokes, looking over to Alopex. "Maybe cool ranch? Hot Chili Pepper?"

Alopex has posed:
    There's a shrug, "I dunno. It's a strong vibe. I'm not sure April or Casey would appreciate us trying to figure it out." Smirk. Laugh. "Who knows."

Kainashi has posed:
    "People be cray." the younger canine agrees vaguely, and then lets out a breath.

    "Any revolutions? For the new year?"

Alopex has posed:
    "Resolutions?" she asks, curious if the correction is needed or not. "Not just yet. I don't think 'eliminating the Foot Clan forever' is a resolution when it is an active goal, all the time.."

Kainashi has posed:
    "Resolutions, yeah." Kainashi confirms the correct word, her ears flicking back. "I dunno. If you didn't do it last year, does it still count for one this year?" she gives a sidelong smile to Alopex.

Alopex has posed:
    Hrmmmmm.. "Maybe? I suppose a lot of people try to lose weight every year and renew... I guess that's one for now. That and making sure my friends keep being my friends. And maybe more friends? Allies? The more the merrier, sometimes."

Kainashi has posed:
    The canine's tail gives a slow wag as she looks over the abandoned mall. "It would be nice to have neighbors." she states, "... as long as they don't mind me blasting music at 2AM."

Alopex has posed:
    Snrk. "-I- may mind that. Sometimes. I expect you'd ask first either way.."
